My Update



If you've been reading my blog recently, you'll know that I've been in hospital because of my epilepsy. So I thought that I would share my experience of one of the scariest things I've ever done.

So it all started on the 17th of march, I started the day fine and went to work as usual. I didn't quite feel right that day but wasn't quite sure why? So I carried on my normal day and thought that my sugar levels were low so after having lunch I hoped that it would get better. After about an hour it started to go down hill and ended up having a seizure. It then went from bad to worse as it was now at the stage where I was in and out of conciseness and was continuing to have seizures. An ambulance was called and a first responder was there in minutes and was given oxygen after having a tonic clonic seizure. This basically means that it affects my whole brain.  I don't really remember a lot but what I do remember is feeling very faint and the ambulance crew arrived. I continued to have seizures and the decision was made to take me to A&E as more medical care was needed. I was taken in resus and remained there until I was taken to a ward. This is when I knew that it was pretty serious and I was continuing to be on oxygen and my heart rate was to low.

I remained in hospital for 5 days and continued to have fits needing oxygen as well. This was very scary because I went from being very independent to needing 24hr care. I've got to say that the nurses were incredible that first night and were there to support me through everything.

Now this isn't to make you feel bad for me, because I really don't want that. I wrote this to share my experience and how epilepsy can get so bad, so quickly and completely take over you whole body and mind.

Thank you for reading and please leave any comments 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.
