Hot Mess with Grace

Who Says You Can’t Do It All?

I once had a professional in the industry tell me that I couldn’t do it all. She suggested I stick to 1 thing, stay in my lane, and focus on that. While advice like this is really great for some, 2020 taught me that keeping all my eggs in 1 basket is risky business.

Fun fact about me 😳 I’m an über garden nerd Fun fact about me 😳
I’m an über garden nerd 🪴

I got super in to food after I was diagnosed with #multiplesclerosis
And realized all the trash in our diets…

SO the first haul of the season,
Is kind of a big deal around here 😝

The harvesting of the winter crops has begun.

Then we start on RESTARTING the summer veggies 🙈
Thanks New England for sleet in May 😤

Here’s to a magnificent & wonderful growing season!! 🌱

It’s been a while since I’ve done my #mugshotm It’s been a while since I’ve done my #mugshotmondays ☕️ 

As a Mom,
life just started to get in the way 🤪

We’re constantly #allthethings for #allofthepeople 👒 🧢 🎩 
That next thing you know,
we forget to put ourselves first!

In the spirit of getting back to ME ✨
that I shared last week,
Here’s the the many more Mug Shot Monday’s to come,
&
All of the random thoughts inside my head 💕

It’s noon here,
And I’m 6 cups deep 🙈
BUT
my day started with
meetings about upcoming opportunities 😍
🚀 The Sky is the Limit!!

👇🏼 What are you up to on this Monday?
Or share your own #mugshotmonday & tag me in it @hotmesswithgrace!!

Give me your opinions ladies!! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

A couple weeks ago I asked for setting powder suggestions.

While @lauramercier was the #1 recommendation,
#2 was @farmasiusa

This got me doing some research and seeing what was “up” with this makeup company sweeping the nation 🤔

Since I purchased a different brand all together for setting powder,
I decided to grab some concealer since I’m almost out of my @tartecosmetics all time fav 🔥

So my question is this:
Would yall be interested in some beauty comparison videos??
Seeing how this little guy stacks up against my all time beauty favs?? 💋

I loveeee sharing good makeup that also hits the wallet in just the right way 👏🏼 This could be a game changer if it’s good- BUT I’m hard to please 🤣🤣

But then again, @elfcosmetics surprises us again and again!

💕 Let me know your thoughts!!
As a busy Mom on the go, it’s hard to find nutri As a busy Mom on the go,
it’s hard to find nutrition solutions that fit my budget, lifestyle, and dietary restrictions.

ESPECIALLY when it comes to that #lowcarblife 
(Any of my low carb friends know what I mean??!! 🙋🏼‍♀️)

Quick keto solutions tend to be laden with artificial sweeteners,
are not gluten free,
or they taste like sandpaper lol.

That’s why I’ve partnered with @Corefoods to taste and share Core Keto Bars!! 

These bad boys are certified gluten free, vegan, non gmo,
AND they taste good 🤯

I was SHOCKED at how much I liked these guys,
because I’ve literally tried so many others that tasted like stevia, xylitol, or other various “low carb” sweeteners. 

The cookie dough, TASTES LIKE COOKIE DOUGH! 🍪

You can find them in the refrigerated/produce section of your local grocery. But they are just as tasty at room temperature.

If you pick up a box & let me know what you think!!! 💕

🛒  You can order online with code: Kelsey25 to save 25%!

That’s an interesting question I was asked by @novellia.ms 

because the reality is,

I’d spent most of my time running from that fact.

🧡

When people find out I have MS,
they always give me sad puppy dog eyes,
or tell me how sorry they are for me.

Disjointed.
Almost unaware that I am standing here,
a real human being.
Who perhaps does not WANT to feel sorry for her own life.
OR want anyone else to feel sorry for her either.

Peoples’ assumptions of MS,
that it’s this big scary disabling disease
& that I’m going to be a bed vegetable tomorrow
and my husband will have to push me around in a wheel chair
are pretty stereotypical.

And I do not fault people for that at all....

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐭. 

I can refuse to be remembered for those things,
that while possible- are also not truths for everyone. 
𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘚.

Today I wear orange to spread awareness,
and show others that I am a Mom, a wife, a multi-business owner, a nerdy organic gardener, a dreamer, a visionary.
So many things

Today I had the immense pleasure of my first ever Today I had the immense pleasure of my first ever EEG 😒

Basically an EKG for your head,
Little sticky conductors and all 🤣

They issued it,
Because last month I had my first black out episode- gave myself a black eye and everything 🙈

So now we gotta check out what’s under the hood 🤷🏼‍♀️

✅ Sleep deprivation the night before

✅ No caffeine 😭 ☕️ 💔

✅27 stickies on your scalp (that yes, hurt like 🤬 when you take them off)

✅ A bright flashing light right in front of your eyes to try and stimulate a seizure 

✅ Now the worst migraine I’ve had in years, because my brain nerves just went thru the olympics for an hour on a bum system 🤪

✨ I’m SO GLAD there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow.
Because today?
LITERALLY K.O. 🥊
