It’s that time of the month again! It’s guest writer time. I met Dominique Afacan, the writer of today’s newsletter, over Instagram when she said she loved The Single Supplement and upon seeing she was a writer, I immediately asked if she would be my guest. She’s a journalist, author and founder of a newsletter called Nesting, which celebrates lounging at home in all of its wonderful forms.

She writes today about her experience of being pregnant during the pandemic and it’s a really good read, which is actually really uplifting and I think even those without children will be inspired by her attitude to make the most of things. It’s also fitting because next week I’m writing about friendship and she talks about the importance of her support network.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did.

Have a good week,

Nicola
