My Time Off Social Media

Hi everyone!!

You may have wondered where I have been and why I’ve not written a new blog post since 2nd January so here I am to try and explain to you. 
On the eve of NYE, I started having a dry throat so I tried to drink as much as I can to help ease it but never thought too much of it. I thought it might be because I’ve spent some time in and out of hot dry buildings and the outside. 
Anyway on NYE, I started to feel a little worse for wear when me and my parents went to Asda (my local supermarket). Whilst there, I took some pain relief and as soon as I got home; had a lie down on my bed for about three quarters of an hour. I felt a bit more with it afterwards and managed to get ready for going out to celebrate the NYE with my family. By the end of the night, my symptoms started again and I was ready to go home. I felt proud of myself for staying out and making the most of the rare night out. As per usual we walked our way back home (well I was pushed in my chair) as it’s too difficult to get my chair into a taxi. There are no wheelchair taxis where I live.
I spent some of the New Year’s Day in bed and then laid on the sofa during the remainder of the day. I was the same on the day after. 
Over the next week I was much much worse. Every five minutes or less even, I’d be changing position to cough. I couldn’t even get comfortable or relax. My breathing became harder for me and I’d hurt in my neck, tummy, chest and my back. It was the coughing that was hurting me. My sleep was non-existent. The only time I managed to get out of bed was to go to the bathroom and bring up lots of gunk. Using my phone, eating and socialising on social media were the last thing on my mind, I didn’t have the energy or the focus to do these things. 
Now I’m still resting in bed and it’s the next to last weekend of January. My cough is still lingering, it’s gotten worse over the last day or two but I think it’s the antibiotics working it’s magic. I’m feeling worn out but thinking its to do with the coughing that’s wearing me down. I do feel like I’m on the right path to getting better but it’s taking longer due to my health issues. 
Since having the time away from social media, it’s been a nice break. A break that I didn’t think I needed or wanted bearing in mind. I’m thankful for it. It’s given me the chance to refresh my batteries for starting anew on my blog, Facebook page, instagram and on my YouTube channel. I have only just started thinking about ideas for these sites and the content that I want to create. It would be brilliant if you could help share some ideas of what you would like to see me write about or create on any of my social media’s sites. Whether it’s beauty, fashion, lifestyle or disability related; I’d love to know what you’d like to see! It’ll be a few weeks until I film a new video while I’m still recovering but your ideas are welcome in the meantime. It’ll help me do some planning for the channel. 
I definitely recommend everyone to have a break from social media even if it’s just a few weeks or days as it does recharge you and gives you time to focus on other things in your life. It’ll make you enjoy using whatever platform you use again as it can become repetitive. 
Anyway that’s enough from me in this post and thank you for reading. Take care and I’ll see you all soon 😘❤️xxx

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo

How I Created This Eye Look!!

Hi everyone! I want to tell you how I created this eye makeup look on myself from last week. I think it looks really nice and quite natural which is great for every day style.  The products that I used are as follows; Rimmel UK - Pinkadilly Circus Eyeshadow Palette ‘Rosie for Autograph’ by Marks and Spencer - Cream Eyeshadow Stick GOSH COSMETICS - Forever Eyeshadow Stick Avon UK - True Colour Glimmersrick Eyeliner  Benefit Cosmetics - Bang BadGal Mascara  How I created this eye look . I started of by applying the the lightest shade which is a white colour all over the lid as a base.  Then using the light pink along the crease line and all over the lid. Starting from a third off the inner corner, I applied the slightly darker shade just along the lid.  Then with the darkest shade which is like a dark pinky/brown in the outer corner. This creates like a smokey eye effect. I didn’t think it was showing up as much as I hoped so I decided to apply some of the ‘Rosie’ Eyeshadow Stick in the
