Join me on my journey of less self-hatin' and more educatin'. Part time walker, part time roller – full time me.
I wouldn’t call myself a fashion guru, but I do like to keep up to date with what’s “in” and what’s “out”, having a disability has created a barrier between what I would like to wear and what I have the confidence and ability to wear. I can’t think of an exact point where this… Continue reading F – Fashunnn
I don’t really like focusing on what I can’t do coz it’s a bit shite and a bit neggy, but this post might highlight some things you might not think about and if you know someone with a disability you could maybe lend a hand with. Earrings & Necklaces I have my ears pierced 12… Continue reading E – Everyday Strugz
If I had £1 for every time someone looked at me with one raised eyebrow and tilted to ask me if my car is an automatic, I could honestly buy a Lamborghini. If you drive an automatic, smashin! I have nothing against automatics. What I do have something against though, is folk assuming I can’t… Continue reading D – Driving
CIDP: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy For this post, I’m going to write about what it means to me. This is majority based on what I’ve been told as much of it happened when I was very young. The starting point of the story was always a comparison of a few weeks before I started to… Continue reading C – CIDP

This week I was reunited with an ol’ buddy ol’ pal in the form… Continue reading Bittersweet Blue Badge BBZ
Fast approaching is my beaut lil Mama’s 5th anniversary - 26th October. And tbqh this entire lead up to the date, which on the calendar is just another day feels like the annual trudge through quicksand. While reflecting enough that writing this is beneficial for me, I am also going to include a few steps/things… Continue reading Good Grief + Give Yourself A Break
Nusa Penida ;; possibly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, undoubtedly THE hottest place I’ve ever been. Island life in splints is a bit of a logistical nightmare to say the least, but it’s something that with a few Balinese men and a whole lotta team spirit is a hurdle I/we are… Continue reading Nusa Penida
Hey baes and boos. I hope you all good 😀 I’ve been stuck for what to write about for a while as I’ve been pretty quiet and when I started working again I felt like I was the busiest I’ve ever been. While this isn’t the case, I know it can take some extra time… Continue reading Pain – no gain?
As a female I get a period. Due to a contraceptive method, I get multiple periods. Average 2 a month. With CIDP, I have what I refer to as ‘spaghetti fingers’. I can say that, you can’t. (PLZ LOL) I’ll do my best to spare too much detail in this, but a mooncup isn’t suitable… Continue reading DAMN D A M E
