I’m super & I mean SUPER excited for today’s post. It’s the first of it’s kind here on my blog & I’m really hoping you’re going to enjoy it! You might have guessed from the very obvious title, that today I’ll be telling you about my fantastic March advertisers!
If you frequent my blog regularly you’ll have noticed their buttons in my side bar & have probably also seen them pop up on my Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Pinterest accounts. This post is my chance to tell you a bit more about the blogger behind the blog & share with you some of my favourite posts, so if you want to discover some new blogs, keep reading! If you want to advertise with me, check out my advertising packages. I love how varied my advertisers are in terms of their niches, there really is something for all my readers here!
Ny first EVER advertiser! *Eeek!*
Shaun is a mens grooming, lifestyle, fashion & food blogger. I love the line “I have a lot of habits: some good, some bad.” It totally sums his blog up & explains this blog name perfectly. His “A man who can’t bear to share his habits is a man who needs to quit them.” Shaun’s personality & humour shine through in these two quotes. I love them! Shaun’s honesty & openness shines through in his Why I Quit Gymnastics post. Having had to give up on oboe performance as a career because of my EDS & my proneness to injury because of this condition, I could totally relate to this post on a personal level. I highly recommend checking it out if you’ve ever had to give up something you love or find a different direction in life. It really helped me to understand that I’m not alone in having to change my direction & to realise that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Another post that I really enjoyed was Shaun’s Mankind March Grooming Box Review. Generally, I’m not a fan of monthly subscription boxes or posts about them, because with the number of allergies I have I’d honestly be lucky if just one thing in the box was suitable for me. I really enjoyed reading about this male grooming box though! I think it’s because the products aren’t aimed at me (what with being female & all) that I was able to see the beauty of subscription boxes, without the annoyance I usually feel. Shaun’s a fellow curly haired blogger, so I was really interested to read how he got on with the 3 hair products in the box. One of the things I really love are Shaun’s male grooming pictures. The quality of them is amazing & I love the way they are staged. I also think Shaun has got the way he adds text to his blog posts thumbnail images spot on!
If I want to buy Dan a male grooming product, I’ll be checking Shaun’s blog for inspiration & reviews!

Kirsten from Not Standing Still’s Disease
Kirsten is a spoonies (chronic illness) warrior & an absolute babe! She’s an American blogger who lives with & blogs about Systematic Juvenile Arthritis also known as Still’s Disease (see what she did with the name there? Not standing still + Still’s Disease = Not Standing Still’s Disease. Genius!). Kirsten also has fibromyalgia, psoriasis, patellofemoral arthralgia, anaemia, scoliosis, asthma, gluten intolerance, depression, anxiety & post traumatic stress disorder & discusses about these on her blog. Despite all this, Kirsten is brimming with personality & positivity! She’s a huge advocate for those with chronic illness & pain. As part of this, Kirsten recently attended the sPharma Summit 2016. I’d love to be able to do something like this, so was eagerly awaiting her New York Debrief post to find out all about her experience. I loved that Kirsten included personal things, like spending time with her sister-in-law in this post, as well as talking about the summit itself. This is a great read & I’d highly recommend it! With my multiple food allergies Kirsten’s Have You Heard Of Dinesafe Yet was a really interesting read! An app that tells you were it’s safe for you to eat, what’s not to love!?!
As well as her advocacy, Kirsten hosts a weekly #ChronicSex Twitter chat (Thursday 11pm-1am GMT), discussing self-love, self-care, relationships & more all with chronic illness. I’ve taken part in a couple of these chats (because Dan & I are teachers, there are certain topics I don’t discuss online) I love joining in this chat when it’s an appropriate for me to do so. The questions are great & everyone is so friendly.

Leah has joined me half way through the month, so you may not have seen her on my social media much yet. She’ll be with me until 21st April. I might have squeezed a little when Leah got in touch about advertising with me! I have looked up to her as a blogger for a while now & am in awe of her makeup skills! I got super excited reading Leah’s post about how versatile MAC’s Boldly Bare is as a nude lip liner. I’m allergic to MAC’s lipsticks, but have never thought to check the lip liners. Now I’m itching to get to a counter & if I’m ok with the ingredients will be picking Boldly Bare up then & there! The post was genius & the swatches of Boldly Bare against 4 different nude MAC lipsticks sold it to me. Leah also wrote a post comparing 4 variously priced highlighters, which was a great read! I’ve been eyeing up the Sleek Solstice Highlighting palette for a while so it was great to get Leah’s opinion on it, especially compared to the cult classic that is MAC’s Soft & Gentle! Leah’s photography is on point & her beauty knowledge is top notch!
