💬 What are you #currentlyreading? 🤎📖 I haven’t been able to focus on reading at all this week, fighting off this horrible throat infection. I’m praying I start feeling better soon and can get back to reading. 🤎 Thank you to @fiercereads for sending me a copy of Master of Iron by @tricialevenseller! In Master of Iron, the conclusion to Tricia Levenseller’s exciting Bladesmith YA fantasy duology, a magically gifted blacksmith with social anxiety must race against the clock to save her beloved sister and stop a devastating war. Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister’s life. When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn’s capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she’s been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination. The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop. . . . h a s h t a g s : #MasterofIron #TriciaLevenseller #booklovers #yabooks #yabookstagram #livemoremagic #aquietbeauty #asecondofwhimsey #lifestyleinspo #photosinbetween #ofsimplethings #hopetoread #seekinspirecreate #readya #totalbooknerd #bibliophile #booknerd #readersofinstagram #booksofig #bookseverywhere #morningslikethese #cozystyle #readinglife #bookishflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/CgfCiMRON9S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE SKYLARK'S SONG A Saskwyan flight mechanic with uncanny luck, seventeen-year-old Robin Arianhod grew up in the shadow of a decade-long war. But the skies are stalked by the Coyote—a ruthless Klonn pilot who picks off crippled airships and retreating soldiers. And as the only person to have survived an aerial dance with Saskwya’s greatest scourge, Robin has earned his attention. As a Pilot, Robin is good. But the Coyote is better. When he shoots her down and takes her prisoner, Robin finds herself locked into a new kind of dance. The possibility of genuine affection from a man who should be her enemy has left her with a choice: accept the Coyote’s offer of freedom and romance in exchange for repairing a strange rocket pack that could spell Saskwya’s defeat, but become a traitor to her county. Or betray her own heart and escape. If she takes the rocket pack and flees, she could end the war from the inside. Filled with intrigue, #forbiddenromance, and a touch of #steampunk, #TheSkylarksSong soars in this new #duology from the award-winning author of #TheAccidentalTurn series.

Must-Have Vacation Essentials - Chronic Illness

Importance of Careful Packing for a Stress-Free Vacation

As someone who suffers from chronic illness, when it comes to embarking on a vacation, one cannot underestimate the significance of careful packing. It is an essential step that can make or break the entire trip.

Make a list

Living with a chronic illness means that we have to approach life a little differently. This includes how we pack for trips or vacations. In these situations, forgetting even one crucial item could mean the difference between enjoying our holiday and grappling with discomfort or worse. That’s why making a thoughtful packing list ahead of time becomes so important. That's why meticulous packing is of utmost importance. Thus, if you are like me, I love making lists.

I love a list!

Packing

By taking the time to pack thoughtfully and thoroughly, we travellers with chronic illnesses can ensure that we have everything needed for a seamless and enjoyable vacation experience. From travel documents to personal essentials and medication, each item holds its own significance and contributes to the overall success of the holiday.

It is the small things that often make the biggest difference.

Moreover, careful packing not only helps in avoiding the stress of forgetting important items but also allows travellers with chronic illnesses to maximise holiday enjoyment. When you have everything, you need at your fingertips, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without any unnecessary distractions or worries. Whether it's a beach vacation, a city trip, or a cruise, having the right items readily available can enhance the overall quality of your holiday.

Thorough packing also ensures that you have all the necessary supplies and comforts to make your vacation as comfortable as possible. From toiletries to clothing options, having a well-packed suitcase means you won't have to compromise on your personal needs and preferences. It allows you to feel at ease and confident throughout the holiday, knowing that you have everything needed to make the most of the time away from home.

Must-Have Travel Essentials for Those Living with Chronic Illness

What are the must-have travel essentials we need to pack? Depending on your specific needs and condition, these might include medical IDs or alert bracelets, prescription and non-prescription medications, cooling towels if heat exacerbates symptoms, Kinaesthetic tape, compression socks for those long flights, walking sticks, pain-relief gadgets...the list goes on!:

Get Your Medical Essentials Ready

As anyone managing a chronic illness knows, these essentials can be lifesavers when it comes to handling symptoms amidst the holiday. Pack all your medications, prescription and non-prescription.

Also, keep a list of all my medications in your handbag while on holiday. This helps to ensure that you have quick access to important information in case of an emergency or if needed to refill a prescription while away from home. 

Having a list of my medications also helps me communicate effectively with healthcare providers or pharmacists if I require medical assistance during my travels. Additionally, in the event that my luggage or medication pillbox is misplaced, having a record of my medications in my handbag - can be invaluable for proving my medical needs and obtaining replacements.

Nutrition & Hydration Are Key

Dehydration and hunger pangs could lead to discomfort and worsened symptoms. Staying hydrated and eating nutritious snacks are crucial in maintaining energy levels throughout the festivities. Pack sufficient refillable water bottles and plenty of healthy snacks.

Self-care During the Holiday

Prioritise self-care every day of your holiday! As someone with ME/CFS (Myalgic encephalomyelitis), rest/pacing is an essential part of managing my chronic illness. Take breaks when needed without feeling guilty about missing out on activities.

Also, resting doesn’t only mean physical relaxation; it's also about mental calm. Practice mindfulness or meditation to help keep stress at bay.

Dress for Comfort

Without compromising on style for your holiday, opt for clothing that prioritises comfort; loose, breathable fabrics that won't irritate or confine you.

Consider heating pads or cooling towels as accessories. For those dealing with chronic conditions, these items aren’t just accessories; they're essential tools for symptom management.

Finding Comfortable and Stylish Clothing Without Sacrificing Fashion

By exploring different fabric options, such as cotton, bamboo, or modal, and seeking out clothing designed with comfort in mind, I've been able to curate a wardrobe that effortlessly blends style and comfort. Embracing a mix of loose-fitting yet fashionable pieces and paying attention to garment details, like stretchy waistbands, has allowed me to strike the perfect balance between style and comfort.

Final Thoughts

Travelling with a chronic illness doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves—it just requires a bit more preparation; lists and careful packing.

Remember—the key here is not only being prepared but also maintaining comfort during travel as well as throughout your vacation. After all, holidays are about relaxation and enjoyment! So next time you're going on holiday make sure you pack smartly and don't let anything—especially your chronic illness—hold you back from having a fantastic time!

About me

I am a married mother of four children, in my mid 40's. I run a small business and enjoy writing, which is why I blog. My blog focuses on my experiences of living with chronic illnesses and disabilities such as ME/CFS (Myalgic encephalomyelitis), spinal stenosis, chronic pain, and fibromyalgia.

7 Useful Tips To Choose an Ideal Flat For Rent in Sharjah

Finding a perfect flat for rent at an affordable cost is a cumbersome procedure. It can be difficult and stressful. However, you can make it easier by getting some tips on how to find a perfect flat for rent in Sharjah before you commence your house hunting process. Below are a number of tips that you can consider to make your house hunting job easier and faster than it usually requires to be.

Determine Your Budget

Creating your budget is the first step before you decide on anything while renting a flat. Make a list of your income and expenses like groceries, car payments, loans, phone bills, clothing, entertainment, etc. Based on these, you can find a flat for rent at the cost you'll be able to afford. Calculating this will help you determine the price range and the type of flat you can choose for rent in a location. You can also select Cheapest flat for rent in Sharjah if your budget is low.

Start Hunting Early

It is always safer to start your search for a flat earlier, at least three months before your move date. This is good to avoid the last-minute rush, and you can get the flat that best suits your taste and fulfills your needs, like price, transportation, location, amenities, convenience, and safety. If you are single you can choose 1 bedroom for rent in Sharjah according to your needs.

Search for Rental Listings Online

Searching online is a good way to start. Fortunately, there are several sites that aggregate listings, allowing you to search for the rental home of your dreams. You can easily get a sense of pricing and flat amenities. The best home rental sites allow you to search in different ways, based on various criteria. 

Use a Real Estate Broker

Real estate brokers are usually available to help renters find properties. The key is finding a broker specializing in rental properties, not home sales. Suppose you're looking for flats with 2 bedrooms for rent in Sharjah in areas with tight competition for apartments. Ensure you are talking with an agent who can access the apartment buildings in neighborhoods where you want to rent. In that case, you'll want to speak with some real estate agents before committing to one because different agents have different relationships with different buildings.

Make Your Down Payment Ready

A down payment of the first & last month's rent is usually required along with the security deposit by landlords. This way, you wouldn't need to miss a flat that matches your needs due to affordability. A flat for rent in Sharjah monthly basis is also available. However, giving a security deposit to your landlord is necessary before you sign the lease.

Prepare Your Documents

There are certain documents that a landlord may demand before you move into the flat, like the letter of employment, ID proofs, tax returns, permanent address, etc., for background and credit checks. 

Do A Site Visit

Before you finalize the flat, you must visit the apartment and check if everything is safe and perfect. Look for any damages or repairs in the flat and make them fix if there are any. Check all the furniture if you choose a furnished flat for rent in Sharjah. Talk to the landlord and neighbors to understand and build a good connection. Examine the area around the house and learn about nearby civic utilities, such as pharmacies, hospitals, retail stores, restaurants, transportation, and entertainment. This will ensure you have a comfortable and peaceful living in the flat for longer.

Once you have prepared with all these steps, choose a studio for rent in Sharjah that you like the most and move in! Finally, read over and sign the lease. Make sure you carefully review each clause in the rental agreement so that you will not end up in any legal problems in the future.

Books I’ve read in 2021 (so far 😬)

Ok so I’ve been slacking on reviews this year BUT it��s only because I’ve been reading so much! So here’s a list of everything I’ve read so far, a quick review/rating and a goodreads link!

The Cousins by Karen M McManus

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book had family drama, some (slightly) forbidden romance, and McManus’ usual suspense and mystery so I absolutely loved it. There were a few “twists” I saw coming but none of the major ones so it was still fun to read!

From Blood and Ash (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) and A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) By Jennifer L Armentrout

This series had actual forbidden love and enemies to lovers so that was fun.  I definitely liked From Blood and Ash better than A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire but I have high hopes for the third book because you get left on a fun cliffhanger

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Cinder Scarlet Cress and Winter)

I loveddddd this series. The futuristic retelling of the fairy tales was really cool and the overall story was fun! I also read all the short stories and Fairest, which was not what I expected but still really good. Katie wanted me to read it for Carswell Thorne (whom I now love) but also all the badass ladies were AMAZING.

The Bridge Kingdom and The Traitor Queen by Danielle L Jensen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I FLEW through these books. Enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes so these two were perfect for me. There was so much action and angst they were just amazing. Also the cover art is awesome and 100% the reason I looked the books up in the first place.

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo (Reread)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I reread this in anticipation for Rule of Wolves coming out at the end of March. I really enjoyed it the first time I read it, but the second time around I appreciated it even more. I’ve loved Nikolai since the second he appeared in Siege and Storm, but Zoya and Nina are my true queens.

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this twice in like a week and a half and a more in depth review of it will be coming shortly. It wasn't what I was expecting but I enjoyed it!

Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly I was a little disappointed by this book. The concept was really interesting and had a lot of elements I enjoy (witches, a murder mystery, a reluctant truce) but it just felt a little rushed.

THE SKYLARK'S SONG A Saskwyan flight mechanic with uncanny luck, seventeen-year-old Robin Arianhod grew up in the shadow of a decade-long war. But the skies are stalked by the Coyote—a ruthless Klonn pilot who picks off crippled airships and retreating soldiers. And as the only person to have survived an aerial dance with Saskwya’s greatest scourge, Robin has earned his attention. As a Pilot, Robin is good. But the Coyote is better. When he shoots her down and takes her prisoner, Robin finds herself locked into a new kind of dance. The possibility of genuine affection from a man who should be her enemy has left her with a choice: accept the Coyote’s offer of freedom and romance in exchange for repairing a strange rocket pack that could spell Saskwya’s defeat, but become a traitor to her county. Or betray her own heart and escape. If she takes the rocket pack and flees, she could end the war from the inside. Filled with intrigue, #forbiddenromance, and a touch of #steampunk, #TheSkylarksSong soars in this new #duology from the award-winning author of #TheAccidentalTurn series.

The Reader by Traci Chee

Rating: 5/5

Review below the cut for post brevity

So, I knew this book was going to be good before I read it. I'd had it recommended to me more than once (mini-shoutout to @coffeebooksorme specifically for recommending it). The cover virtually promises it's going to a solid read. The premise is gripping: this is the story of a girl who owns a book in a world where reading doesn’t exist. I was so confident that it’d be a great read I selected it for my May SFF book club without even reading it in advance.

Let me tell you, The Reader exceeded these expectations.

This book has it all: pirates and magic, assassins and romance, prophesies and harsh reality. I don't think I've read anything quite like it before, but I'm absolutely hooked. The descriptions are amazing. The pacing is perfect. The characters are phenomenal, well-rounded, and fantastic.

What I really loved, though, was how this book tackles so many things without getting preachy. It has so much to say about violence, about idealism, about acting for the greater good vs acting for one's own good. It questions what it's like even when you're acting as someone else's voice--or when you don't have a voice of your own.

I absolutely loved it. 5/5. This is a must-read.
