TW: Diet talk, eating disorders

I realise we're half way through January but still....The 'new year, new me' bullshit has begun. The soar in diet culture and the memes about being fat are polluting social media sites, and its gross. I'm quite frankly sick of logging into Facebook and seeing 'friends' share such damaging and hateful pictures about eating too much over the festive period and putting on the dreaded two pounds. Just stop.

Christmas Eve Nostalgia

I’m haven't been feeling Christmas the last few years; I know, I know, blasphemous, but it’s the truth. Just call me the Grinch. I’m 32, I don’t have kids and I just don’t get excited anymore, it’s a strange feeling. However, I won’t bore you all and complain about the holidays, instead I’m going to take you down memory lane and share a few things that made my past Christmases unforgettable and really special.

My Dream Accessible Bathroom

*Disclaimer: This post is commissioned by Bathing Solutions to give my thoughts on what I look for in an accessible bathroom

We moved house at the end of April and I love our accessible bungalow; it's really big, plenty of room for my wheelchair, lots of storage space and just all-round amazing. However, whoever lived here before us really (and I mean  REALLY) liked pink. The whole house was pink and floral, not to my taste in the slightest. Ian has worked his way through a few rooms and we're more modern, yet our bathroom is hideous.

Accessibility: Captioning Your Instagram Story

If you're using Instagram Story and are not adding captions when you speak on there, why? Yes, it takes a bit more time. Yes, you have to watch your clips back a few times, but ultimately, Instagram, and all aspects of social media and the internet should be accessible to everyone.

Why I Decided on Quick-Step Laminate Flooring as a Wheelchair User

It feels like ages ago that we moved house but we've only actually lived in our new bungalow a couple of months and the decorating is still all on-going. There's currently only the hall that is complete; or so my boyfriend will tell you, I, however still need mirrors and art hanging, and then it'll be ready. But, the walls are done and the floor is down, so technically it's just the added extras that need doing.
