Part 2 – Diving into my wardrobe
I have had many wardrobe changes over the years, as you probably have. For me, it was pretty much (1) during high school wardrobe, (2) post high school wardrobe and then (3) post covid-19. Trying to keep up with the fashion style, but to make my own stand with it. As I did mention in…

What are companion cards?
Companion cards has been an essential part of my life, but I always haven’t had one. To support people with disabilities financially, the companion cards has been very helpful for me. The companion card is for people with disabilities, and/or life-long conditions. Whenever you go to an entertainment venue or a secured park, one of…
