Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog for another post. So this is something different and I know that it wont interest or appeal to everyone out there. Buttt I had the idea and I haven’t seen it anywhere else so I thought I would have a shot at it. So as you may or may not know. Due to my chronic illness, IBS, I have had to make some dietary changes and I do now in a way have a dietary requirement. Which is something new to me which I am still getting used to. That requirement is that I have had to dramatically reduce the amount of dairy I have and consume. This has not been easy but I have fortunately adjusted to it and I know that it’s working. But along the way I have learned a few things, hacks I you will, on how to still have my fave things (mainly coffee based things) and not have to miss out just because of dairy. So in this post I am gonna make a list for you of how I have and ask for ALL my drinks. Be them hot, cold, Starbucks or at home. I’ll also add in some recommendation on alternatives that I love and trust. Then if anyone out there wants to reduce dairy for whatever reason, is doing a vegan challenge like Veganuary or has to go dairy free like me due to an illness or allergy you can use this to refer to as and when you need it.

Hey everyone. So as you all know my birthday is coming up really soon, THIS WEEK ACTUALLY OMGGG, and this birthday is a special one. I’m turning 20!!!! Can you believe that. Because I can’t. I still feel like a ten year old. I mean I still love high school musical and girls aloud and cheese puffs so I’m not far off to be fair. But as this birthday looms it means the start of a new decade and a new chapter in my life and I’m so bloody excited for it. Everyone says your 20’s are a crazy and wild ride and I’m so excited to start the ride and see what happens in this next decade. But I’m mainly excited to leave my teens behind because honestly it hasn’t been the nicest chapter of my life… school days ARE NOT THE BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. Parents you fucking lied to me. But I’ll come to that another time because I have many feelings about my teen years that I wanna talk about and reflect on. I started writing this a few weeks ago when I was in the midst of an IBS flare up and none of my clothes would fit me. I wasn’t gonna publish it but I thought someone else may feel the same way and it might resonate with someone so I thought why not. So thats the context for ya. I’ve just added this lil paragraph in as I edit the post and finalise it. So keep reading to see what I'm on about with this post... So this is something I’ve never touched on, on my blog but I want to. Like really want to. So I thought this would be a good place to start. This post was actually a request from someone on instagram after I did a Q&A on there. So thank you to that person for suggesting this. So you may or may not know this: but I actually have a chronic illness. Chronic in the sense that there is no cure for it, yet. Hopefully in my lifetime a cure will be found but for now I have my illness for life. My condition is IBS. I’m not gonna get into detail because I’m doing some posts on my illness in detail separately. Having a chronic illness has completely changed my life, basically overnight. And I know that, that is the same for many people out there. One day you’re well and the next you feel so so sick and unwell and you have an incurable disease. But I thought I would share with you all my top tips for dealing with and/or managing a chronic illness or invisible illness. Because these illnesses can be so hard to control and over the last 3 years, I cant believe I’ve been ill for 3 years now, I have learnt a few tips and tricks. Sometimes the hard way. Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog for another post. So I ran a poll on my instagram stories during the week and you guys decided that you’d like to read this post first so your wish is my command :) But seriously I hope you enjoy this one. I had to think of unusual stuff to put in and I had a few laughs along the way trying to think of things. So yeah, I came up with this little list. I can always do another post like this in the future if you guys would like that if you like this one and if I can think of anymore unusual things about myself. So here we go… brace yourselves.
