Go Love Yourself

So today, we're chatting to disabled fashion blogger, FromSarahLex about the reality of being a wheelchair user, how doctors have treated her because of her weight, and how she's learnt to be a confident bad bitch 💅. Sarah is the absolute best and somehow managed to match Lauren's energy?!?! Who knew that was possible...
