Silly Thoughts I Have!
Thoughts I have: I am not even sure there is an answer. So, if you have one, sweet. I took a shower yesterday and, as a lot of us are prone to do, we avoid direct water on our affected limb/s. Now the shower is not really part of this thought process, it is just where it began. I got out of the shower and my leg was thumping, as usual. I looked down and my leg is always swollen, so nothing new here, but I took a good look at my foot. I noticed it was dry, dry, dry. I just stepped out of the shower, people. DRY, I tell you! OK, well, I can't bend my leg to actually reach my foot. Also, ladies, some of you will relate, but my boobs get in the way and breathing becomes a challenge, you feel me? So regardless, my feet do not receive the care that they once knew and loved from me, I am telling you; hard, dry skin on the sides of my feet, by my toes, at my heels, creeping, and it is getting annoying. Not to mention a tad bit painful.

M.E. and Me
I have M.E. This means so many different things to so many different people. Trying to explain an illness/disability that does not manifest in a way that people can understand. I equate it with trying to explain the differences between a 747 and the Dreamliner. Some differences are glaringly obvious, and some are not at all easy to see. And before you ask I have a big interest in aviation, hence the plane comparison.

5 Ways to Practice Self-Compassion During the Holidays
Let go of expectations. A core element of self-compassion is the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness is defined by Jon-Kabat Zinn as “paying attention, in the present moment, on purpose, with nonjudgmental awareness.”

The Importance Of Self-Care
I’ve been sick. Like really sick. And I don’t mean writers block kind of sick. I mean I’ve had lack of self-care, which led me to complete isolation from any social media platform for weeks. I know a lot of you have been curious as to when I was going to upload another blog post; and to be honest I was questioning the same thing. I’m sure some of you even thought I was done with the whole creative influencer, blogger, and “fake” occupation thing all together. And unfortunately for that population — you’re wrong. I love my current and future followers too much to quit cold turkey. But before I jump back into Who What Wear’s and NYFW Preparation Tips, I want to lay down a foundation not just for myself, but also for all of you. This foundation is all, and just about, the importance of self-care.

Finding Your Way Back to You
Who are you when you're not the girl with cancer anymore? It's so common. Everyone knows someone that has had cancer, or is suffering with it themselves, and yeah it sucks, but nobody ever warns you that after the cancer is when shit gets weird.

20 Things I've Chosen to Stop Giving a Shit About
As an anxiety-stricken millennial, I have found that the source of most of my problems is that I seem to care about all of the unimportant things. Most of which come from caring what others think about the things I maybe SHOULD care about. So I am putting it out there for you to hopefully relate to. Some of the things on this list are everyday/all the time things, while others are just happening as I'm writing right this second. Here are the things I am no longer giving my time and energy to. Let me know if you relate.
