  • Inkfire won a @scopecharity award for being an 'Inclusive Workplace'! Here's some photos from the award's night - it's still so surreal ✨VD: Photo 1: Cameron and Imali, standing against a purple 'Scope' photo background.

  • Throwback to my first time meeting the lovely @chronicallyjenni - after having worked with Jenni for over a year to rebrand her website and help her launch it through Inkfire, we knew that meeting in-person was well overdue!Since then, we've got to go to @naidex_show together, and to Disneyland Paris! I can't wait to see what other adventures come along - I know there's a few planned 👀(And yes, before you ask, I definitely did fangirl the first time I met Jenni - in fact, I generally do most times I see her! Having been following her since around about 2019, I like to think I'm a fairly 'hardcore' OG fan! 😆)VD: Photo 1: Imali, Cam, Jenni and Poppy, all smiling at the camera. Photo 2: Imali and Jenni in their wheelchairs, both smiling for a photo. Jenni is wearing a sparkly pink dress, while Imali is wearing a sparkly gold playsuit.

  • I love running into my friend Lyndsey from @mobilityinmotionukRecently, they showed me their new powerpack for conventional hoists like the one I have in the back of my car - the benefit being that it speeds up its rate of movement as it can be very slow. Little things like this can make a big difference to everyday life with a disability!I love bumping into their mascot, the giant teddy too! He's always a hit with passersby at any event.See you again soon team!VD: Photo 1: Imali sitting in her wheelchair wearing a pink suit. Next to her is Lyndsey, who is standing with long blonde hair and a navy blue top. Photo 2: A giant teddy wearing a navy blue top, sits on a Mobility in Motion stand.

  • AD*: Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a summer girl! August is almost here and therefore I'm well and truly thinking about crispy leaves, spiced coffee and chilly rainy evenings... With that said, I'm all about a good blanket and this pink weighted one from @ooblehome has got me excited!Super soft, nicely weighted (but not too heavy), good quality and fur lined, I can't see what's not to love about this blanket! It's plenty big enough to cover a double bed, or you can use it as I do on the sofa to snuggle up under. I tell you what, this has totally levelled up my nap game!If you're looking for something cosy this winter, but don't just want the cheap and poor quality supermarket style blankets, then I recommend having a look at www.ooblehome.comVD: Image 1: Imali up close, with her pink hair and glasses, holding the edge of the fur lined blanket in front of her face as she looks to one side. Image 2: A zoomed out photo of Imali sitting under the light baby pink blanket, which matches her hair perfectly!*Ad: Gifted product
