Welcome to my first Christmas Gift Guide, my loves. This one is especially for my chronically ill readers, or if you know someone who has a chronic illness and are unsure what to purchase for them. We’re not difficult, give us some pyjamas and we’ll be buzzing. 1. Soft Fleece Grey Snowflakes Lounge Pants |…
I’ve had quite a lot of hairstyles and various colours throughout the years, and I must admit I haven’t always taken the best care of my hair. For some reason unbeknown to me (could it be the faulty collagen with EDS doing me a service?), my hair has consistently looked in good condition and had…
Last weekend a journalist came to my house and interviewed me on what it’s like having a sex life whilst disabled. We spent almost two hours discussing this subject that seems to be one of the most controversial and taboo topics when it comes to disability. Obviously I don’t find it unmentionable, or I wouldn’t…
I first discussed my mental health back in May; I touched on how confrontation terrifies me and that I’m consumed by paranoia. This hasn’t changed. Although I’m really, really working on it. I’ve figured a few things out about myself whilst going to CBT that have made me realise why I am the way I…
I’m no stranger to my GP surgery; I’m pretty sure if you suffer with a chronic condition you’re well-known at your local doctors. However, I do avoid going if I can. They mostly blame any new symptoms on my preexisting condition(s), so I’ll only go if I’m really concerned or can’t get any relief at…

There’s something about awkwardness and disability that seem to be intrinsically linked. Nobody likes awkward situations but when you have a disability it’s nigh on impossible to avoid. The majority of the times I leave my house I’ll be faced with an uncomfortable situation. I’m a powerchair user but I also rock a set of…
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…
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…
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…
