10 Reasons I’m Awesome BECAUSE OF My Disability NOT Despite It
Do you know what I’m sick of seeing? ‘Oh <insert persons name here> is so lovely despite their disability’. As someone that identifies as disabled, that one word, ‘despite’ infuriates me so much. Why can’t they just be lovely? What does their disability have to do with anything? Using that shitty little D-word is so…
Bravura Skincare Review
I’ve had this lot of Bravura products for a while now and been using them religiously for about 4-6 weeks. And *spoiler alert* my skin has never looked or felt better. I’m so incredibly impressed and am shocked at how affordable the range is. Every day I have used the First Cleanse Oil* (£14.50) the…
My Personal Independence Payment Assessment and Decision
Back in February the brown envelope of doom landed on my doorstep. I wasn’t expecting it so wasn’t struck with anxiety when I opened it but as soon as I read the first few lines the panic set in. It’s no word of a lie how much fear the assessment process is for disabled people…

House of Fraser Beauty Hall at Rushden Lakes
*Disclaimer: This post is extremely photo heavy Last week I was invited to the opening of the brand spanking new House of Fraser *bows* at Rushden Lakes. I wasn’t planning on going on opening day as I knew it’d be packed but a brand asked me to show up and I couldn’t say no. Rushden…
Getting Cosy: A Wish List
It will come as no surprise to you that my all time favourite thing to do is lounge around in my pyjamas with a blanket, chocolate and catching up with Netflix. And since those three minutes of warm weather have sodded off (praise a deity), I’ve pulled out my blankets and am very much ready…
The Ordinary Foundations – Worth The Hype?
