Luckily in this day and age we have a lot of resources and equipment at our fingertips. As someone with a disability, there’s quite a few items I need in my everyday life to help it run more smoothly. Now, I don’t have unlimited funds (if only) so I don’t have every product that could…

Paul Mitchell Hair Products
Since I’ve been growing my hair (almost three years, I don’t know how I’ve had the patience) I’ve tried out so many different hair products to see which I love and will continue buying and which I despise and will never look at again. Paul Mitchell hair care is something I’ll definitely be adding to…
Stationery Galore: Huge Haul
If you’re a stationery lover, I can guarantee you will adore this post. It’s very picture heavy but I’m sure that won’t be a problem with any of my fellow stationery addicts. I’m pretty sure that I’ve lost at least a week of my life browsing Etsy and I’m totally okay with that as I’ve found…
Aurelia Skincare
As much as I love makeup, I have a soft spot for skincare. You can’t have great makeup without decent skin so I’m always on the hunt for products that help my skin look its best. I’ve had issues with my skin since my teens, and although it’s nothing major, I wish it was better….
Toddlerlife #5
A few weeks ago I travelled back up north to spend a week with my family. I stayed for eight days and my nephew slept over at my Mum’s house seven out of those eight nights. I couldn’t move without him; he followed me to the bathroom, he sat on my knee at any given…
The ‘Done’ List: Acknowledging Achievements
I’ve always been overly critical of myself; I give myself a hard time and feel guilty if I spend a few hours resting. As someone that suffers with chronic pain, I should be used to chilling out and letting myself recover but I put a lot of pressure on myself, and never give myself credit…
Spectrum Brushes: A Review
Luckily you can’t hear me singing like Ariel because I’d probably burst your eardrums, but whenever I see and/or use these Spectrum Collections makeup brushes, I’m suddenly transported to a far-off land and running (ha) with unicorns. Spectrum brushes have blown up on social media lately and it’s completely justified. They offer excellent quality, cruelty free,…
A Fascination with Crime
I’ve been fascinated with crime since my teens. I’m pretty sure it began with my grandad; no he wasn’t a criminal, but he loved watching crime shows and since I lived with my grandparents, I naturally began watching them with him. We’d watch CSI together every week and I’d imagine being a forensic scientist when…
Bricks on my Chest: Costochondritis
I’ve dealt with costochondritis for about sixteen years. When it first happened I thought something was seriously wrong. The pain was awful, so I went to see my GP immediately. Was I having a heart attack? Had I cracked a rib? What the hell was going on inside my chest? Costochondritis is caused by an…
August Favourites
Unlike last month, this month I narrowed my favourites down hella quickly. I’ve pretty much used these products every day (or at least days I’ve worn makeup for the cosmetics) and I’m kinda in love with a few of them; especially that perfume, but we’ll get to that.Makeup Revolution Sculpt and Contour Kit | £3.50…
