Sun, 5H and 9H for the asks? 🖤
Hi darling, I hope you're having a lovely Sunday 💓
Sun: name 5 things you like about yourself.
5 are a lot, there aren't many things I like about myself lately (close to nothing, honestly). But I'll make an effort, so here we go: I'd say my intelligence, my sense of fashion and elegance, my knowledge of cinema, my integrity in my writing.
5H: do you have a hobby?
Mostly watching Old Hollywood movies and buying jewelry (fake or real, both are okay, even if diamonds are my dream).
9H: what languages would you like to learn?
I'm learning Swedish, not as constantly as I should, but I enjoy it. I would love to know Russian, Arab and Chinese.

A weekly update (W41), inspired by @semperfeminae & @questwithambition
The past few months have been hard – partially because of long Covid, partially because of burn out. I also went to India this summer for a research program and got sick on one of the last days I was there and in turn that (and the antibiotics I was given) fucked up my guts and my immune system. Not a lot to do but rest and recover. I hadn’t realized how much pain I was living in until this week – I’m finally showing signs of improvement and it’s such a relief.
Because of this a lot in my life fell into shambles – my studies, my thesis, my work as a research assistant, my routines, my concentration, my physical fitness. A lot of people have been very understanding and I’m incredibly grateful. Yet, I also want to get back on track. The first step is to have a consistent morning and evening routine, which will also help with uni-related work. Moving more will also help, as my body feels stiff and I miss physical exercise. Mostly this will be hiking, as I think it’s the only thing on my level at the moment. I went last week on an ‘easy’ hike and even then I found it quite hard.
This semester I’m also a TA for a undergrad course & I’m enjoying it so much. I get to teach two classes and the first one went well, despite my fears. Currently, I’m grading, grading, and doing more grading.
Been cooking a lot, as I find it relaxing and not too heavy. Lots of beef bone broth, ragù, garlic herb butter, stews, etc. Love it. I’ve also been reading a bit more, which I missed. I finished A Terrible Country by Keith Gessen and Alcestis by Euripides, both of which were both engrossing and heart breaking. I’m currently re-reading The Hedgehog and the Fox, but as a treat for October I bought Tana French’s The Wych Elm, which I’m so, so excited about.

How has your day been? Or yesterday- timezones are weird.
I’ve just baked a quiche and am painting my nails a lovely copper colour 😁✨
It’s the next day now that I’ve gotten around to answering this, but that sounds so nice! Very peaceful. I hope your quiche was great (and your nails as well)
My day has been uneventful, but there’s a nice rain storm going on. I live in a very wildfire-prone area, so it’s definitely a blessing to get rain lol. It’s a vegetarian chili and heavy cardigan sort of day :)
Thank you for the ask, lovely🤍

How did you manage a healthy lifestyle - especially food wise? Struggle to find motivation to cook well after a long day / way too easy to just buy and devour junk food. Especially chocolate when stressed! Also best of luck for your new adventures, can’t wait to see what life has in stock for you! Love your blog ✨
Thank you babe!!  
I think the biggest thing that helped me eat healthy in college was going vegetarian -- dining hall meat is questionable, and there are a lot more processed options in general. There are ofc still lots of processed veggie foods (i love me a good soy nugget) but I’ve found they’re easier to avoid. 
In general, I try not to keep too much junk food in the house -- I always keep a pint of ice cream in the freezer and I’ll have a frozen pizza on hand for nights when I’m just really not feeling like cooking. When I’m really craving something sweet I’ll treat myself by going out for boba with friends or something like that.
I have a few go-to meals that I rotate through so I don’t have to spend too much time coming up with ideas. I don’t always eat super healthy, but cooking at home makes me feel better than frozen food or eating out. Find some easy recipes you love that you can fall back on. 
Here’s what a typical week of dinners looked like for me last semester:
M: Dinner with roommates (usually pasta)  T: Gnocchi and brussels sprouts  W: Burrito bowl (rice, beans, corn, cheese) T: Veggie fajitas (squash, zucchini, bell peppers) F: Eat out with friends 
None of my dinners took more than 15 minutes to make, and I would put on some nice jazz and dance around which gave me a nice little break from homework. 
I make a smoothie with greek yogurt every morning, and I always carried Clif bars in my backpack since I had a late lunch break. For lunch I would almost always have leftovers, or grab a bagel on campus if I forgot lunch. If I was home for lunch I’d make a quesadilla, acai bowl or avocado toast.
For the none food stuff -- set strict work boundaries. I never work while I eat -- that’s reserved for talking with friends, watching a show, or staring into space. I stop working an hour or so before bed so I have time to shower, do some yoga and relax. Make sure you’re making time for friends and hobbies. Spending an extra hour studying for that test isn’t going to help as much as an extra hour of sleep will. 
It definitely took me until senior year to feel like I had a good work/rest balance !

I had a delightful Sunday last week: coffee and a wander around The Wallace Collection, walking though Marylebone with an obligatory stop at Daunt books, and then basking in the sun at Regent’s Park with a cupcake 🧁
