Views of differences


This is going to be my second post for today as I really wanted to say this while it's fresh in my mind. It has come to my attention recently that we still have this stigma around disability. My question is why? We are who we are. We all have things that we don't like about ourselves, so it makes it even worse why someone's else notices it what ever it may be. I also feel that sometimes even through we may not realise what we're doing.  I have enough of people thinking that knowing someone with a disability should make you an amazing person. This view needs to STOP you should like people for who they are and not like someone because of a label. I can say that I've lost friends because of this and in the past few years I've certainly learnt who is there for me when I really need them. 

The main that I've learnt is that everything happens for a reason and whether you see it at the time it does. I certainly feel that I'm quite lucky because the people I have in my life are so supportive for me in everything I do. I also feel lucky that I am able to voice opinions to a platform like this so that it get's said. 

The past few months I do feel that my blog has become more popular because I feel that now I'm be totally honest and open. I was talking to someone the other day who couldn't believe that I was only in my early 20's and have these opinions. However I have had these opinions for a while now I just haven't  been brave enough to say them. However someone need's to!! 

May I remind you that disability isn't something we choose to have. It's something that become's part of us and yes some disabilities are more visible than others, but it shouldn't matter I hear people say behind my back all the time "what's wrong with me". There's nothing wrong with me I'm just different. Disability shouldn't be something that we feel is a weakness for me it's a empowerment to reach out to people from all over the world on a platform that I can say whatever I want and still be me. When I log of from this blog I'm still the same person I go to work and see my friends, you know like a "normal" 22 year old. 

Everyone should have a opinion and I accept that, I do. However it's when we have an opinion without having the knowledge to back-up that opinion. That's what really annoy's me, when someone says a sweeping statement which actually could offend someone without even releasing that you're doing it. 

This silence needs to be broken and we as a whole should feel happy with however we are. That's why I feel that who we are whether we choose to be that or not. You are You and thing that I've definitely learnt is never let anyone stop you from being you. Whether you're 16 reading this or 60 you have the control and the ability to be whoever you want to be. If I had listened to some of the people around me growing up then I wouldn't be where I am today. I wouldn't be sat here on a sunday morning writing this and voicing my opinion. 

Do what makes you happy and the rest will figure itself out. 

I would love to hear your opinions and how you feel on this subject so leave a comment below.

Always remember where we came from

Over the past couple of months I feel that my body has let me down in many ways. It made me ill out of blue which meant I had to build myself up again which I wasn't planning to do. However after doing this I've know realised what's important, after having this blog for nearly 6 years and posting about beauty and my story it's important to remember why I do what I do. I was at a family event yesterday, and after speaking to one of my relatives who actually reads this blog, I suddenly realised that I've kind of lost touch with why I do, what I do. My story is unique and I am very lucky to have a physical condition but still be able to do what I love. That's partly why I set this up in the first place, is to show that even through you have something that could potentially hold you back that doesn't mean that it should. Having cerebral palsy and epilepsy has had it challenges for sure, however it also shown me the strength I have. I think in the day and age...

top 5 nude lips

Top 5 nude/ neutral lips  My first one is probably the most expensive of my five and it's the Clarins instant lip perfector. This product is kind of light a natural gloss which a slight colour. The scent of this product is just amazing it smells like vanilla and I just love it!! Like I said before it's the most expensive one at £18.00. My next one is from maybelline and if you saw my post earlier in the week then you may have already seen this but this is probably the most bold colour of the five but still very wearable. This is the maybelline colour sensational in petal pink. I really like this colour because it's not quite matte but it so nearly is. My third one is from rimmel and it's called nude pink. Shade name wise I think that this is quite disappointing as a nude pink I think of being a your lips but better, however this lipstick has quite a orangery undertone. The finish of this lipstick is quite glittery and glossy so ...

Soap and glory mini gift set's Every year soap and glory come out with some amazing christmas that you definitely get your money's worth. This is actually last year bag but I have put in the bag the product's that You get in the set for this year. I personally love these set's because they are so easy to travel with and because they are so small you can take everything you need with you. The set this year is called bright and bubbly and it comes in a box, which personally I prefer the bag as you can also used for travelling. The set retails for £10 which I think is amazing value as you get 4 products and a shower flower thing (what are they called?).
