Would you try these flavors??!! 👀

Alan and I had the pleasure of taste testing these bad boys today ((compliments of @vitaminwater & @influenster 🫶))

And here’s what we thought ⬇️

🍫 Raspberry Dark Chocolate one… tastes A LOT like Vitamin Water XXX.
Not a whole lot of chocolate flavor to it, but still yummy and refreshing. Id buy it again!

🥥 Coconut Lime… well let’s just say they did NOT put the lime in this coconut.
Tasted like watery sunscreen, with an off sweetener taste to it.
I would pass on this flavor. Not for me!

If you’ve tried these- let me know what you thought in the comments 👇🏻🫶🏻

••••••••••••••••••

Both of these were sent complimentary to me in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are of my own 💕 #complimentary #vitaminwater #hotmesswithgrace #vitaminwaterzero #flavortester #productreviewer

#ad In an effort to #bringonspring - we decided to have a “Create Your Own Hotdog Bar” for dinner the other night! ⬇️ Here’s how to set it up:

I started by picking up @Sahlens Tender Casing Pork & Beef Smokehouse Hotdogs, as well as the all beef version.
🔐 This is truly the secret to a successful #hotdogbar because they are sooo yummy and seriously next level for hot dogs.

➡️ Then I set out all of our favorite traditional toppings:
Ketchup, Mustard, Relish

➡️ Next I opted for some pantry staples that we had on hand like:
Onions and Cheese

➡️ Finally I picked up some next level toppings like:
Bacon, Jalapeños, Chili, and Chutney

This #grillingszn dinner solution is AWESOME because you can truly mix it up as much as you want!
Smoked Gouda and Mango Salsa? Check ✔️
Nacho cheese and avocado? Check ✔️

My hubby even discovered a new fav combo for himself: Mustard > Onion > Jalapeño > Bacon (😉 if you want to try it)

Hot dogs are a HUGE hit in our house. My oldest would eat them for every meal if I let her. So kicking it up a notch and paying ode to her favorite meal was definitely past due.

And when you do it this way - Everybody is happy! 🌭

One of the hardest parts of Multiple Sclerosis for

One of the hardest parts of Multiple Sclerosis for me has been to swallow the pill that I cant do it all anymore.

I cant keep up physically.
I cant go with sleepless nights and rebound.
I cant push myself to the limit and expect to recover in a 24 hr period.
I cant manage #allthethings and do them well.

MS is an ugly disease that robs so many of the things that they once enjoyed.

Easy things.
Simple things.

➡️ Things that most of society takes for granted ⬅️

Learning to cope with disease is hard.

Relearning how to do the things you love with limitations is hard.

Facing yourself in the mirror and admitting “this is as good as it’s going to get” is HARD.

If you’re struggling with your silent sickness, know that you’re not alone.
((And that you’ve ALWAYS got a friend in me 💕 ))

If you know someone with a silent sickness, know that they’re doing the best that they can.

But above all else,
Be Kind, Always ✨

Wednesday was one of the most sobering days of my

Wednesday was one of the most sobering days of my medical journey thus far . . .

A day where the brevity of having a chronic illness officially and fully 10,000% sank in.

When your Doctor says the phrase that you know in your heart to be true,

but nobody will speak out loud.

The day where you realize.
It might not get better than this.
This might be as good as it gets. . .
(and in MS's case you can tack on ". . . until it gets worse")

I know I've been absent online lately so the details of the situation may not all make sense or feel in context.

(And I PROMISE I will disclose it all for you guys in due time. The transparency of my ms life is how I'm meant to give back to the world, and share my gifts with all of you 💕 Nobody should EVER have to feel alone in this disease and I 100% will always be anyone's # 1 cheerleader).

TL;DR ➡️ My MS Flare uncovered a slew of other problems, so now I am down a rabbit hole of constant diagnostic tests, drs appts, and still feel terrible every day (just as bad as I did back in February). With no end in sight.

But Back to Wednesday:

The Phrase: "Western Medicine is failing you."

She said it just like that. Matter of fact.

She admitted that everyone "plays in their silo" and that I am definitely and 100% "falling through the cracks" because specialists only do what specialists do.

And there's nobody there to put the different pieces together.
To get to the root of the problem.
To evaluate the bigger picture.

It's affirmed what we #spoonies experience on the daily.
That Dr. Mary isn't talking to Dr. Joe, who forgot to loop in Dr. Stephanie.
And forget about Dr Bob - because he will ONLY talk about his specialty. Even when it relates to someone else's.

That we, as the patients, need to always double check.

Make sure important info got from point A to point B.
And be our own best advocates.
Because at the end of the day,
WE are the only ones in our court.
