Something New is Cooking!
Something New is Cooking!
So, I’ve been under the radar for a little while and I feel like I should explain to you what’s going on.
I always have this blog at the back of my mind and I feel really guilty about not finding enough time to create content as I did before – when I wasn’t working.

Magical Oxford
We’ve been out of lockdown for a little while now, life is going back to normal and we’re all enjoying going out for dinner or drink without having to worry about the weather because we can finally stay inside. What a great time to be alive!
It’s funny to think that we used to do these things every day as part of our life, and now it feels incredible to sit at a table next to strangers inside a…

Weekly Pill: Another Short Story
Weekly Pill: Another Short Story
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in a beautiful little house in big city.
The girl used to spend her days looking outside her big windows; the people walking on the pavement, the cars speeding up in the street to catch the green traffic light.

I haven’t written on my blog for almost two weeks now and I’m getting frustrated because there’s actually NOTHING going on at the moment and I don’t feel like writing something just for the sake of it. It’s definitely one of those days, so here’s a illustration for you. It took me some time but I’m quite pleased with it ☺️ • • • • • #thetalkingmagpie #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrationoftheday #digitalart #digitaldrawing (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSODpmrC-4/?igshid=hsu7omeuqbmk

Unwind
February has been quite a positive month for me. I can say I’m happy about my new job and now that I start to see the first signs of spring I can feel my mood improving daily.

Never Stop Being Curious, Never Stop Learning
Never Stop Being Curious, Never Stop Learning
If there’s something this lockdown has taught me, is that there’s so so much out there I can learn. I’ve learnt to paint and I loved it, I’m learning to create digital illustrations, and this week I thought “what is there that I can learn and share with you at the same time?” So I decided to do some research about astrology! For some reason, since my post about the blue moon I keep getting…

Weekly Pill: Happy Year of the Ox!
Weekly Pill: Happy Year of the Ox!
The Chinese calendar is lunisolar, which means that follows the moon phases, so the Chinese New Year is also the Lunar New Year.
The Chinese calendar is a 12 years cycle, where each year is represented by an animal: the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Sheep, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog and the Pig.
Each of these animals has different traits, so…

Malcom and Marie, When Arguing Becomes Art
Malcom and Marie, When Arguing Becomes Art
Netflix has been keeping us company almost every day since the start of the pandemic, and even before that, it was pretty much the easiest thing to do in the evening – or at least that’s what I remember doing in my evenings during the week before 2020…did we really use to go out?
The thing is, having no other option on what to do for so long, means that even on a great streaming platform like…

One Thing I've Learnt...
One Thing I’ve Learnt…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about the lack of motivation that has slowly creeped into my life since September and that meant that I slowly stopped exercising – or even just moving a little.
It’s quite hard to get rid of the laziness once it becomes the normality, and for the first time in a year and a half I didn’t know how to get myself back on track. Funny enough, I read somewhere…

If a year ago someone told me one day I would have 100 followers on my blog, I would’ve thought they were joking.

What Type of Reader Are You?
What Type of Reader Are You?
Do you have a reading list you consistently update throughout the year and from which you choose your next read? Maybe following the chronological order in which you added the books to the list?
Or do you just go with the flow and let yourself wander around the book store or scroll endlessly the pages of the book section on amazon?

Weekly Pill - Where's My Motivation?
Weekly Pill – Where’s My Motivation?
We’re almost a week into the new year and I don’t know how or where to find motivation to move. I have always been quite lazy and I know that once I stop a routine for any reason, it then gets a lot harder for me to get back at it, but it’s never been so hard before.
What can I do?

Bridgerton: What Do You Do When There's Nothing to Do?
Bridgerton: What Do You Do When There’s Nothing to Do?
Here we are, it’s the new year and we’re still in lockdown. I though about making a post about new year’s resolutions and how I don’t like the pressure of having to change something from he first day of January and why I think it’s wrong; I actually wrote the post, and then I realised I hated it and I didn’t want to post it.
The truth is that I’m self-isolating for 3 more days after having spend…

Weekly Pill - New Year's Eve
Weekly Pill – New Year’s Eve
We finally made it to the end of 2020. This year has felt at the same time incredibly long but also really short for some reason. It almost felt like we’ve stopped living but we’ve also seen how quickly we can adapt and change.
