Life Lately: Cosmopolitan, Cockapoos and Catastrophising

My blog turned three earlier this month and I completely forgot all about it; I'm pretty bad with dates as it is so I'm not really surprised that I missed it. So happy blog anniversary to me! Anyway, I thought I'd write a little life update post as it has been a while.

My View on Disability was Influenced by my Nan, Here's Why

Last week I sat down with Vix Meldrew for her awesome new podcast and discussed sex and disability, relationships, women that inspire me and how we can all do better at raising the voices of marginalised groups. Go listen to my episode here. I felt like I'd known Vix forever and I am pretty much in love with her now, so yeh, pop over and let me know what you think please mates.

I have wanted to try a laser hair removal product for ages but I never have a spare two-hundred quid lying about to be able to afford it. Then SmoothSkin* got in touch and I was all about giving it a go. I had no experience of using a device like this before so was intrigued to how it would work and whether it was going to hurt; as someone with chronic pain, I wasn't about to start inflicting myself with pain all for some smooth legs. Albeit, it doesn't hurt at all. Not one bit.

If I haven't mentioned before (I totally have, in fact I've probably written it far too many times), I am a total perfume lover. I used to have at least forty in my collection and would wear a different one each day; extra, I know. Now, I tend to gravitate towards certain notes and have a handful of favourite fragrances that I adore.

April Favourites

*Disclaimer: This post contains PR samples

I feel like I was only complaining that January lasted for fifteen years a few weeks ago but we're already in May, what the hell? Unlike my one brand favourites last month (it was all Becca Cosmetics if you fancy checking it out), I tried out quite a few new products in April and I could have added quite a few others in here but I like picking five for some reason.
