Happy new year

Okay so I haven't been very good this blogging lark. I feel like I want to blog
Most days but then I just don't know what to talk about...
Let's try again ;) 

Happy New Year! Welcome 2015!!!
I have used start every year by making the usual New Year's resolutions however this year I haven't. It's so stupid to make a list of things to accomplish by the next year when the majority of the time you've forgotten by February! 

I have started this year feeling very positive now that is something that I don't normally feel. I think it is down to watching a program that I hadn't heard of before it's called Push Girls. It's a reality TV show based in America.  I've watched the first season and just started the second season. I am hooked! 
As someone in a wheelchair I find it hard to relate to people in these sorts of TV shows however these girls are in wheelchairs they're paraplegics. 
I'm pretty sure I'm the last one on the bandwagon with this one but I feel I really need to talk about it. 
Those girls are so inspiring and make me want to go out and drink and have lunch go clubbing and feel normal. I mean I do have somewhat of a life.  I do go to lunch with friends and I used to go clubbing often in my uni days ;). 
I also know like most reality TV shows that some of these situations are set up around our entertainment. 
The way these girls talk about their stories and show their daily life routine is inspirational. When I first started writing on my blog that's the sort of thing I want to talk about but I haven't had the confidence to let people know what is truly like to be in a wheelchair. 
So after all maybe I do have a new years resolution... I'd like to blog my stories and daily life tasks... Well I will try ;)

Let me know if you have watched push girls and what you think. 
Lots of love,
Jasia xx

10 Years on

Just sat minding my own...well actually browsing through ASOS with the telly on in the background and I see my back surgeon from 10 years ago. BBC 2 Hospital series 3  a documentary on Nottingham QMC hospital around the time of a bed crisis. A young boy of 12 was about to undergo a spinal fusion by the best surgeon Micheal Grevitt (my doctor). The documentary was a brilliant insight into how the NHS is suffering. Staff overworked, patients distressed waiting for beds, treatment and then a lack of social care funding. An experience I didn't have 10 years ago. The program brought back some memories, least to say some painful memories - literally painful. August 2007 I went to QMC to have the biggest operation I'd ever had or probably will ever have. I make myself laugh to be honest because now at 26 I'd be shitting myself but not at 16 -  bitch be fearless! Obvz I was nervous but I was optimistic almost unbeatable! My mum looked petrified...the woman is scared of h...

Great for dark circles and blemishes too. Max Factor Creme Puff Blusher Lavish Mauve - £8.99 Perfect summer glow. No need for highlighter because its multi ton al in different lights. Benefit Roller Lash mascara - £19.50 This is one of few mascaras that actually hold a curl! No smudging down my face which is a bonus.

#MYBEAUTIFULSTRUGGLE

   I don't really know what I'm going to call this blog post. I have to discuss Jordan Bone's latest YouTube video "My beautiful struggle". This video had over 25,000 views in 24 hours! ( Congratulations Jordan) . The point of this video was for Jordan to show her viewers The struggle she has to apply make up. It's almost like a behind-the-scenes about how difficult it was to learn to do her make up. She is a positive, beautiful, ambitious inspiration which makes her the perfect role model for so many different people not just those with disabilities. It's not easy to put a video like this online for everyone to see. To admit that you can't do most things for yourself and have to ask for help with everything is difficult. Down to silly little things to normal people ( able people ), like brushing your own hair or dressing yourself. Do you take that for granted ? Maybe ? You probably don't even realise your morning routine is completel...
