Keep smiling, look fo’t silver lining
When opening social media at the moment I hold my breath and prepare for the next ‘breaking news’ of 2016. What a year, I’m not going to go into my thoughts on the world, deaths and politics right now because it’s a bit grim isn’t it. Instead I thought I’d write...
Every Little Helps
Don’t worry – this isn’t an ad for a well known supermarket. This time of year there’s a lot of shopping going on. People are #PANICKING. Shopping can be a hard task for me as a disabled person anyway like traveling to the actual shops etc but add in...
Can I just ask?
Today is International day of persons with disabilities (I always find the “persons” bit weird…) and I thought I’d answer the most common questions I get asked, mostly by strangers, at least once a month, just for the lols *note: this blog may contain wit and sarcasm How old...
Small arms, great barn(et)
One thing I love, if you can’t tell already is taking time on my appearance and my hair is no different. However, having short arms can make make this a difficult and sometimes infuriating task. It’s taken a lot of years to practise and a lot of patience to master styling...
Storage, String and Stick on Silicon
Everyone knows I talk about my grabber a great deal, it’s the varnish to my nail – the air to my tyre. Recently I’ve had a little revamp of my room, and since going through it all I realised I have a few more items that I couldn’t live...
Looks, Layers and too many Leaves
Before we start, let’s just establish – I’m Northern. So I’m still not wearing a winter coat and I probably won’t even start wearing a scarf until December. I’m not ridiculous though, I know it’s starting to get cold now so I thought I’d tell you what usually starts...
What’s in my Bag?
Whilst we’re still waiting for fashion to sort itself out (cc my last blog) let me tell you a fun fact. If anyone doesn’t know, my mum is a pretty great sewer. For a long time I was a nightmare of a daughter and refused any offer of clothes making...
The Season of Shiny Shoes
Hello one and all Let’s all just establish one thing – I’m not a regular blogger. I’m sorry, I’m disappointed too. The point of this particular blog in the first place however, is to tell you what fashion pieces I’m loving at the moment and if I’m really honest, it’s not...
Holiday Highlights
If you don’t know already. I’ve just got back from a glorious holiday filled with lots of, well if I’m honest food and drink between lots of reading and sunbathing. That was exactly what I needed. I thought I’d give you my top few highlights from a ShortSparkle’s perspective, because...
Access Denied
Now let’s all just take a minute to look at these… Aren’t they just beautiful? Do they fill you with joy? Because they do for me. So imagine the absolute HORROR when I realised that I’d ordered the wrong size. I’d only gone and picked a size 10 instead...
