I’ll openly admit that I hoard candles and I’m not sorry. There’s nothing I love more than lighting a scented candle and relaxing whilst the gorgeous aroma fills the room. When Colton Candles followed me on Twitter, I headed right over to their site to scope them out and instantly fell in love with their…

One Year Follow-Up: Stanmore Pain Management and Rehabilitation Programme
Can you believe that it’s been a year since I spent three weeks in rehab? Where has the time gone? I distinctly remember the nerves I felt the weeks leading up to the programme as if it was last month. The apprehension, the anticipation, the terror. I was terrified, I’ll openly admit that; it was…
Current Hair Favourites
I feel like hair products are the thing I will constantly change in search for the perfect combo that make my locks volumised, yet healthy and shiny. I don’t ask for much. At the moment, and for quite a few months (years for some) I’ve been using these non-stop.Batiste Stylist Texture Me Texturizing Spray |…
I’m Not Superhuman: Not All Disabled People Can Be Paralympians
Let me start this off by saying that this is not a post slagging off the Paralympics. The athletes that partake in the games are absolutely amazing and I tip my hat (I’m not wearing a hat, but let’s pretend I am) to all of them. My problem is with the media and how Paralympians…
Make Up Forever HD Foundation and Concealer
When Make Up For Ever launched in Debenhams last year I made an online order (shocking, Sarah buying makeup) as I was stupidly excited. As a ghostly pale gal I won’t buy foundation online. The lightest in the range is usually too dark, too yellow, or both, but I’d heard good things about MUFE’s colour…
Before We Met – Lucie Whitehouse: Book Review
It’s been a while since my last book review and I’m incredibly sorry for that. I’ve been having a love/hate relationship with fiction lately, but we’ll discuss that another time. You know they say you should never judge a book by its cover? Well, I picked this up because of its cover. Before We Met is a…
How Aren’t You in Pain?
As I lie here with my left knee heavily braced, the pain surging through my whole leg, pulsating, agonising, my mind begins to wander. I only ever voiced this a few months ago and as soon as I said it out loud, I realised how ridiculous it might sound to someone who doesn’t know me….
Falsies: Lashes for Glasses
I’m always being asked to create eye-looks for glasses wearers and I’ve not done it because I don’t see why I’d wear different eye makeup due to wearing glasses. I choose my eyeshadow looks based on my eye shape, I never take my specs into consideration. The only time I have to think about my…
Firsts: First Job
I started this series back in June and have had so many other posts to write that haven’t had time to continue it. With my Firsts series, I intend on sharing an array of various ‘first times’. You can read my embarrassing story of my First Kiss here.Let’s rewind to late 2003, I’d finished high…
I’m Really Flexible and it’s NOT Sexy
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome type 3; the hypermobility kind, the stupidly bendy ‘how don’t you snap?’ one. Some people will probably call the majority of us with EDS 3 – double-jointed, but that’s a myth, I mean, how can you have double the amount of joints? I’ve written quite a few posts on EDS, and…
