I wrote a book! And now other people are going to have to read it 🫢

You must spend lot of time on socials,even for the work purposes..how do you manage all the toxicity and screen time usage in general?

Creating / posting content is not the same as scrolling endlessly! I’m pretty good about that, it does mean that I can’t quite hop on the trend bandwagon because I’m not really scrolling so I do miss a lot, but I’m also happy about it because I don’t want the integrity of what I share to be changed. In the end I just like sharing pretty photos of things I do and see.

If I find my screen time going up, I have an app blocker on my phone and I make my husband put in the PW lol. Honestly, if it wasn’t for my novel coming out in May, I would really like to have taken a long, long break from all of it.

Recently, your posts made me realise that you always have nice things to say about your life. It is such a rare quality. I really, really admire it. Of course you must have your low days but the way you conduct yourself on your blog is truly inspirational and a breath of fresh air on the internet.

That is actually the sweetest thing!! Thank you!

I think how we talk about our lives influences how we experience them, to some extent. I had a really horrible emergency surgery in April (literally almost died) but what I took away from that was that I never went hungry, because my loved ones dropped so much food off for me, my friends sent my favourite snacks and flowers, and my husband was an amazing nurse. Now that entire ordeal is just a cloud of memories of feeling loved and taken care of — I don’t even think about the pain / fear / procedure.

Saying that, I am even lucky to have this ^

This is so cheesy, but reminding yourself of what you have to be grateful for makes noticing those things in your daily life more frequent, and then suddenly the days feel a little better.

Your engagement ring is so beautiful and unique! What kind of wedding band do you think you’ll get to pair with it?

I picked a plain chunky band and just had the outline of my engagement cut out of it so they would still stack!

Damage to my nails from “shellac” what kind of awful torture is modern nail polish?! I knew there was a reason I don’t trust manicures…

How was Africa? 😍

Incredible! To be in the cradle of civilization and experience the incredible wildlife we got to see (Tanzania and Kenya)?! I’ll never forget it. And it was baby season!! Baby leopard, cheetah, and lion cubs! Baby elephants! Baby giraffes!!

What are you doing when you have time to write, but don’t feel like it in that moment ?

Usually cooking or reading! I have so many ridiculous admin projects I have to do, if I really have time I would puzzle or play video games. I love to craft, write and mail letters / postcards, work on projects around my house, junk journal, actual journal, I am never, ever bored, and haven’t been in decades!

Hi Rosa! ☺️ Do you have some favourite curry chicken recipe which u can share on here ( and it’s not considered as family heritage or something 😅 ) with us ? I hope this question did not come out wrong, I’m literally looking for tips for this particular dish everywhere and since you love cooking and also mentioned few times that you often make also Indian recipes ..

Thanks in advance! ☺️

I would look at Dishoom’s recipe book, I love their food! I’m actually vegetarian, and my parents are vegan, so we wouldn’t be necessarily cooking those kind of dishes :(
