ROXY’S GUIDE

In this guide, I’ll take you along on my journey toward a fantastic life, where I not only focus on success but also on the things that truly make life worthwhile. I want to enjoy the present moment more, live mindfully, and make space for everything that brings me happiness. I’ll be exploring topics like food, interior design, friendship, art, music, and travel. But also wellness, gardening, nature, relationships, motherhood, fashion, and so much more.

My goal is to inspire you to do the same: to pause and reflect on the things that bring you joy. Together, we’ll explore how to find balance between daily life and our passions, so that we’re not just content, but also enriching our lives with depth and happiness. This is my journey toward a life that goes beyond good – a life that is truly fantastic!

Sleep and the Bedroom: Crafting Your Perfect Sanctuary for Rest

Ah, sleep. That beautiful, elusive necessity we chase every night. Sleep is fundamental to life, like food and water, yet often overlooked. But not by me! As someone who unapologetically adores sleep — eight hours a night, thank you very much — I can confidently say that rest is sacred.

In fact, for me, sleep is more important than most other things. And no, I’m not ashamed to admit it. In a world where everyone’s hustling and glorifying sleepless nights, I’m standing tall in my truth: I need my rest, and I’m not here to downplay it. And why should I? Sleep is essential for our mental and physical well-being. There’s a growing awareness of this in recent years, but maybe I’m just inching closer to the “uncool” age of 40, where going to bed at a reasonable hour isn’t just a goal; it’s a necessity.

The Four Roxy’s of the Winter Wardrobe

As I transition from summer to winter and switch out my wardrobe, I’m struck by how much my winter clothing needs a refresh. With my body changing as I approach 40, and after discovering the cozy charm of tracksuits during the pandemic, I’ve realised that there are four versions of myself, each with its own clothing demands: Sleeping Roxy, Home Body Roxy, Out and About Roxy, and Foxy Roxy. From cozy pajamas to effortless chic home wear, functional outfits for busy days, and bold fashionista looks, these Roxy’s may be different, but they share a common goal: a wardrobe that mixes and matches with ease, reflecting my personal style. Join me on my journey to curate a winter wardrobe that perfectly balances comfort, style, and flexibility—here and on my socials.
