ME/CFS: Feeling Trapped

Anyone who has ME/CFS knows how, well how shit it is really, living with this incredibly debilitating and frustrating illness. Despite this, I don’t want every ME post on this blog to be really negative and just an outlet for me to moan because I don’t think that does anyone much good. Don’t get me wrong, having a good old moan now and then to let everything out

BEAUTY: SensatioNail Polish To Gel Transformer

Since I started doing my own gel nails at home with an LED lamp, I've really neglected all of my 'normal' nail polishes because they just don't have the staying power. I seem to always gets chips within a few hours compared to when I use an LED lamp which in comparison gives me a week of chip free nails, they're supposed to last about two weeks but even if I have them done professionally

BEAUTY: The New Charlotte Tilbury Palette Of Dreams

I better start by saying that I am already a huge fan of the Charlotte Tilbury line. I own a decent number of her products and I can honestly say that I haven't found one yet that I haven't liked, although I have deliberately stayed clear of her infamous Magic Cream as I just don't think it would get on with my oily skin.

BEAUTY: My Evening Skincare Routine

As promised, it's time to talk you through my evening skincare routine and like with my morning routine, I'm so happy with it at the moment.

If I am wearing makeup then I'll use The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil and massage it all over my face, neck and eyes before wetting my hands, giving

FOOD: The Green Life

Let me start off by saying that I am unashamedly a huge believer in the greatness of green juice. It may look like swamp water and quite frankly it does sometimes taste like swamp water, or rather what I imagine swamp water to taste like as funnily enough I've never tasted it myself, but this glass

BEAUTY: My Current Morning Skincare Routine

My skincare routine has changed quite a bit over the years as I've progressed through my twenties and as my knowledge on the subject has developed but I can now confidently say that I have never been happier with my current routine. I'm going to talk you through everything in the above picture

BEAUTY: Shades Of Summer

When it comes to nail varnish, my go to shades generally switch between nudes and dark reds, I sometimes throw on a few other colours and the odd glitter top coat but they are the shades I stay pretty loyal to. When summer rolls around however, I do like to change it up a bit and add in a few
