a sprinkling of about nuggets


Hey there, I'm Fran, I'm a twenty something smol bean and welcome to my slice of the internet.

so when did you start blogging?
I started my blog in February 2014 during my humble teen years one evening after reading countless issues of Company Magazine (RIP) and becoming inspired to create my own space to share my thoughts.

Nowadays, it's a space to share my love for all things life, beauty, food and music.

but what does your name mean?
The name for my blog meant a lot to me. Fran - being my nickname - and 'Alibi' - being the name of the song that I used to love but no longer personally resonates... I should really change the URL...

It's from a band that I've avidly followed since 2010 called 30 Seconds To Mars. So it made sense to have my name franalibi.

and what do you love in all the world?
WELL. There's many things.

  • BIG bowls of steaming cheesy tomato pasta nom nom nom
  • reading all the books imaginable. having a to read pile and still needing more books.
  • taking photos of everything aesthetically pleasing - especially on a disposable!
  • drinking pitchers of coffee (iced anyone?) or even cocktails...
  • pizza. need i say more?
  • appreciating every season that rolls around. (except winter, we don't talk about her)
  • aaaaand many other things like the fact that I'm a bit of a Lush obsessive and a huge Marina and The 1975 stan
ok, what do you use for blogging?
I use my iPhone 15 for most posts, editing apps such as oldroll. Occasionally I use my Canon 700D with a 58mm lens for main blog photos, a marble board for the background and Photoshop CS6 to edit my photos!

I hope you like my blog and do check out my social links at the top and side of the page. :) x

sure, do you do anything else?
Oh yeah, I also have a YouTube channel which you can also go to from the side of my page! (Or just search "franalibi" on the site!)

lastly... a disclaimer!
I don't earn anything or receive anything for my blog so everything is all my own - and my opinions are my own woo.
