*Disclaimer: This post contains PR samples I am very vocal about how much I love pyjamas. If you know me at all, if you’ve read any of my bios or spoken to me briefly, I’ll tell you that I live the pyjama life. I own more pjs than actual clothes and if it was acceptable…

The Ultimate Medical App – Evergreen Life Review
*Disclaimer: This post is sponsored As someone that is very attached to their phone, I have an app for most things; photo editing, banking, bill tracking etc. But I’d never found one for my health that was truly worthwhile.

‘But Have You Tried…?’ 30 Cures for Chronic Illness (Not to Be Taken Seriously)
*Disclaimer: Don’t take these cures seriously Disabled/chronically ill/mentally ill people are constantly bombarded by unsolicited, unwanted advice on our health.

Being Disabled Does NOT Make Me a Burden to My Partner

Me, My Disability, And How It Defines Me
This project on Identities got me thinking about how I identify and what my identity means to me. My identity is really important to me. But then again, isn’t everyone’s?
