This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2019, and i'm already thinking about ways we can choose to make the internet more truly aware.

She Keeps Me Warm: A playlist for snow days
It's snowing down here in Hampshire today, and it's snowing pretty heavily, too. I made it into work this morning but was lucky to catch my train home (thank you Lush gods for letting me leave early as a precaution!). I also absolutely fought through a blizzard and trekked home on the white carpet left… Continue reading She Keeps Me Warm: A playlist for snow days
Everyday discrimination.
(1/2) As a disabled person, you get a lot of people knowing little about you casting judgement. Sometimes this is as you're merely going about your day, and sometimes it's facing accessibility issues; unfortunately, yes, they are intertwined more than one would hope, but today I'm here to speak of the former.

Valid: Mental Health Awareness and National Coming Out Day
This week has held two very important events directly relevant to my life, and... I never had a chance to speak about them. The truth is, on these days I wasn't feeling too fabulous, so I really had to prioritise my spoons, physically and emotionally, but these were also too important to me to simply… Continue reading Valid: Mental Health Awareness and National Coming Out Day

Cosy cup: Hello Pumpkin Spice (Vegan)
I would say that for many years, I've been the Pumpkin Spiced Latte queen. I was exposed to coffee a lot earlier than most, and adored the taste from day one... so, of course I one day tried this magical autumnal drink and fell in love. At my local Starbucks from about the age of… Continue reading Cosy cup: Hello Pumpkin Spice (Vegan)
In Celebration: My favourite poets (for National Poetry Day)
October 4th. Today is National Poetry Day.
