Positivity
Friday, August 12, 2016After my last post with all its rather rubbish medical stuff I wanted to write about some of the positives going on too. At the moment I'm struggling quite a lot emotionally and I'm not entirely sure why but random bursts of crying, feeling completely inadequate, insomnia etc, interspersed with more positive days is quite a confusing, draining time.

I have a glossy box subscription and they often send So Susan products, which are cruelty free. It's lovely makeup and although american they deliver to uk http://sosusan.com/en/
ReplyDeleteI also use smashbox as it's similar to MAC but no animal testing. I only recently found out about the testing for chinese market, so am also trying to be cruelty free. x
Oooh, have fun in NYC! There's so much to do and see there - I definitely recommend the Metropolitan Museum of Art, going to Central Park when the intensity of the city gets to be too much, going to the top of the Empire State Building (their elevators are crazy fast and made my ears pop haha), going and seeing a show on Broadway, the food at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, the doughnuts at Dough, etc etc. NYC can be exhausting, but I think that in general a lot of places are disability friendly and the city has done a lot to improve things within the last few years - for instance, elevators and escalators leading to the train platforms and taxis are required by law to carry someone in a wheelchair. You can also hire a scooter or wheelchair for your trip for when pain or fatigue sets in. Here are a couple of good resources for traveling to NYC with a disability, especially one that might limit mobility: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2398251/Disabled-travel-Our-essential-guide-getting-New-York-wheelchair.html and http://www.nycgo.com/plan-your-trip/basic-information/accessibility
