Dealing with a busy and stressful week
Hey everybody! Wow last week was a bit of a nightmare! It was such a busy and stressful week and that is why I didn’t have a blog post on Friday I was so wiped out and I still am! The week before I got letters saying I have to be reassessed for both of my disability benefits. I hate when they do this and if you are in England and unable to work I am sure you can understand why I was so stressed about it. People who are not specialists and doctors, unlike the specialists and doctors who diagnosed us, sit and ask us questions then someone else…
Reviewing Utama Spice natural aromatherapy products
Hey everybody! So about a month ago I received some products that had very kindly been sent to me though this post is not sponsored everything is my own opinion. I had the privilege of reviewing Utama Spice natural aromatherapy products and now here I am to let you know what I think after using them for a few weeks. Yoga Matt Spray The first product was this yoga matt spray. As you all know if you read my blog regularly, I love yoga and this spray is so lovely!

Frustrations and realisations
Hey everybody! Well this week has been a big one for me and one that I am glad came in January so I could get everything set up and out of the way. I know this is a bit cryptic, but enough to say it has been full of frustrations and realisations and I am okay with that! So first of all let us get the frustrations out of the way shall we? So there is a film that has Twitter all of a bother about ableism in Hollywood and frankly it is really annoying! Why do we have to have this battle every time a new film about disability…
Body Positivity and Disability
Hey everybody! The summer is here and I am wearing a lovely skirt and a pretty vest top and I should be feeling happy but I am feeling self conscious. I suffered with eating disorders, I look in the mirror and I only see my flabby arms and my tummy that is thin but not at all toned and it makes me feel so deflated. I used to be extremely thin and toned and now my illnesses have worsened and I am struggling to feel any body positivity with my disability! I see all the adverts with the models with perfect bodies, I watch the you tubers working out in…
Making a fresh start after a depression flare
Hey everybody! Last month was pretty hard for me, I lost my grandmother and I turned 40…yeah I did not appreciate that! I got a little lost in everything, grief kind of took over and I stopped doing a lot of the things that I love. I stopped practising yoga, I stopped eating three meals a day, I stopped looking after myself and I was miserable! I was feeling overwhelmed with grief and I kind of shut down because I couldn’t process everything that happened in such a short space of time. I was starting to think that would never clear away and that I would be stuck with my…
New season new me
Hey everybody! Yes September is here, the leaves are starting to turn, and there are Halloween decorations in the shops! It is my favourite time of the year, so much cosier and I absolutely love the relief of getting away from the heat of summer and the settling down of my symptoms. As I usually do when there is a big change in weather, I have gone through my wardrobe and got rid of things…and replaced them with things from the sales! Usually I buy a couple of things and leave it at that but this time I have decided to change my style a lot more than I ever…
