Appreciating My Abilities When Coping With Disabilities
Hi lovely people! 💙 This post is basically a little pat on the back to myself and a lesson in believing in my ABILITIES, rather than focusing on my disabilities. 1) I always wanted a laptop with skateboard/band/creepy cute stickers on.

Vegan Hotdog Meal from Zad’s Manchester
When it’s not possible to pile on anymore topping 😁 My tea from Zad’s Vegan Takeaway Hotdog – odd little pieces of red stir-fried onion, okaaay 😐 but loads of spicy BBQ seitan pieces (to bulk up the skinny sausage), mayo and jalapeños, which tasted lush as a whole but I really missed having a […]

How Depression Crept Up on Me and Advice
This time two years ago I posted the photo below to Instagram and said I was having a girly-night to myself and made it sound so positive. What I didn’t say was that I’d had to go on Just Eat to find somewhere local which sold food and beer/wine because it felt like an overwhelming […]

Signs of Dyspraxia/Aspergers in Females and My Own Quirky Examples
I’m approaching this post from my point of view of being female with Dyspraxia and Asperger’s – a high functioning (sometimes) version of Autism. It’s really difficult to tell where Dyspraxia ends and Aspergers begins as symptoms overlap regularly and quite often people have both. Here are some behaviours which are related to Dyspraxia and/or […]
