Looking back

                                                          Hello everyone, Today I wanted to do a blog post on how to look for the top 10 main signs of scoliosis. It can be very hard to detect scoliosis, especially if someone has an 'S' shaped curve, this is because the curve can be counter balanced, whereas a 'C' shaped curve can sometimes be more easily noticed  as it doesn't have a counteracting curve. Here are some signs to look for: 1) Back Pain  For most scoliosis patients, back pain doesn't occur too often, however in some severe cases back pain can be present. Back pain is quite an obvious tell tale sign in which you can personally notice, if you do experience back pain, it's well worth the visit to the doctors even if it isn't scoliosis they could be another underlying condition or disease. 2) Adnormal Curvature of the Spine The primary tell tale sign is the development of an adnormal curvature within the spine.

These are things I do on a daily basis and take for granted, but when you are suddenly unable to do them,  even if it is just temporary, really makes you realises just how lucky you are. I have come so far since my operation, and although recovery was hard and long it was well worth it. I feel very proud of myself for how far I've come, but I honestly couldn't of done it without the amazing support I received from Sheffield children's hospital, and of course my family and friends. I can safely say, 2 titanium rods and 15 bolts later that although spinal fusion was probably the scariest thing I've ever had to do

                                                                   Hi guys, Today I thought I would do a review on a product I've currently been loving. I'd heard a lot of good things about the makeup revolution vivid baked highlighter and so I decided that I would give it a try considering its an affordable price, I really wasn't expecting too much If I'm totally honest, however this highlighter is amazing, its super pigmented and looks flawless on the skin. for the price, I really cant fault it.                      This highlighter is available in Superdrug for only £3!  you can purchase yours: Here I have mine in the shade peach lights, this shade as stated within the name, has a pinkie- peachy glow to it and is perfect for fair skinned girls like myself, however it would look amazing on all skin tones and is very universal.
