Hi WordPress! 👋🏻 I am as happy as my blog's logo to tell you that I’ve decided to self-publish (💥) and that my book is HERE. ❤️ I’ve been wanting to publish my writings since 2016, but excuses over excuses let fear win for years. Two months ago, though, along came lockdown – and together … Continue reading Mindscapes is Here – Paperback and ebook 📖
Just like you, I've also spent the last couple of weeks at home, feeling all kinds of things: restless, anxious, annoyed, terrified, and the list goes on. One thing that I haven't felt very much of, however, is bored. And you know what else? FOMO. Finally, there is nowhere I should be but I don't … Continue reading What a Strange Year This Month Has Been
☾ You know when you wake up one day and think, “you know what would make me happy today, and over the next 6 months? Literally not buying a single damn thing that I walk past, touch, like and fantasise about wearing. Yeah, that should do it.” Well… I woke up like this. 💁🏻 It … Continue reading CURATE / CREATE
Happy Monday (thanks to coffee ☕) to everyone except those who don't read my blog. I recently wrote six months no shopping, a post meant to put me to shame in the eventuality that I break my promise not to shop for any pretty, pointless, I've-gotta-have-it-though-I'm-not-sure-why things for six months. Well... I broke it in … Continue reading By the Time You’ve Finished Your Coffee
Good morning internet! My name is Anca and I hate small talk but for once I feel like I need it to ease myself into this post, so how's your weekend so far... ? Ok, cool. So here's the deal (this sounds way more like me): I'm looking at my inbox and I see a … Continue reading six months no shopping
I curl up in the empty bed. I can’t get warm. When I don't write, the warmth trickles out little by little. My body keeps the score. ‘Have you expressed yourself lately?’ it asks. I sigh. I can't write when I can’t feel. What am I supposed to do? My heart is elsewhere, and I … Continue reading Love on Toast
September 🍂 I’m so ready for sweaters, hot drinks and cosy evenings ☕ as September is my birthday month, in true Virgo fashion I reflected on my year and made some lists (obviously) 📝 I'm not going to share them this time, hopefully I'll be sharing the results soon. But I do want to share … Continue reading September Baby
Dear Diary, I am fucking terrified. There, I said it. Deep breath and would you look at that, it wasn't even that hard – and I sure feel better for it. But wait, I'm letting myself off too easily. That doesn't fix it, and I can't leave it any longer. Sweeping dirt under the carpet … Continue reading A Tool for Making Magic
“How odd, I can have all this inside me and to you it’s just words.” – David Foster Wallace It's been another year. Let me pull you gently now and take one good look. You are vibrant and gorgeous, and your mind is insanely cool. But you say, ‘I am trying to be you, but … Continue reading Taking Shelter
Change doesn’t come easily, and it definitely doesn’t come overnight; not substantial change, anyway. Getting tired of your own bullshit takes eating spoonfuls at every meal, until you can’t stand yourself any longer. But no one shows us how to change ourselves before we need it desperately, no one shows us how to match the … Continue reading Light Is the New Black
