As you may know (or not), my boyfriend and I have lived together for about two years. However, during that time we’ve lived with my family and his, but finally got our own place January this year.There’s been so many positives about having our own space, so I thought I’d share. Freedom – Get up…

Non-Demanding TV Shows
When you’re a Spoonie, you spend quite a bit of time in front of the telly, or at least I do. I’m either in pain, highly fatigued or recovering from an injury. I thought I’d put together a list of TV shows that are easy to watch, that require no concentration, focus, demand; TV shows…
Relationship with Writing
When my Nan died, amongst her things I found a little poem I’d written her when I was five, about a ghost who liked toast (clearly a child genius in the making) – as soon as I could write, I did.I love writing. That’s my thing, my talent – some might say. I find it relaxing;…
How Much Is Your Face Worth?
I’m pretty sure this is going to be a major shock to the system as I buy a lot of high-end make up. Actually, let’s not joke about this, lately I only buy high end make up. I have plenty of high street brands in my collection, I just don’t reach for them as often….
Putting Yourself First – Self Care
Self care is so important for everyone, whether you’re a Spoonie or not. But if you are chronically ill, it’s even more important to put yourself and your needs first. It’s not selfish, it’s being kind to yourself. Taking care of yourself is not a new thing but it is something we need to be…
My Bookcase

Dose Of Colors Liquid Lipsticks
I promised a full review in my March favourites post and here it is!Do you see that; all that sexiness in the above picture? I’ve been lusting after the Dose of Colors matte liquid lipstick for what seems like years. I first spied them when Katy – LustreLux on YouTube did a collection video and…
Brain Fog #2
I wrote a post on brain fog back in January and received an overwhelming response from people who also tackle their foggy brains; they could empathise but also chuckled at the hilarity that comes out of my mouth, (my fellow Spoonies know all too well as they experience it too). In my opinion laughter is…
Bleed For Me – Michael Robotham: Book Review
I’ve had this book sitting on my shelf for quite a while now. I went through a phase of buying too many books whilst I was doing my English degree, and unable to read them because my reading list for my uni course was too vast. Alas, I finally picked it up and I want…
