I got super in to food after I was diagnosed with #multiplesclerosis
And realized all the trash in our dietsโ€ฆ

SO the first haul of the season,
Is kind of a big deal around here ๐Ÿ˜

The harvesting of the winter crops has begun.

Then we start on RESTARTING the summer veggies ๐Ÿ™ˆ
Thanks New England for sleet in May ๐Ÿ˜ค

Hereโ€™s to a magnificent & wonderful growing season!! ๐ŸŒฑ

Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve done my #mugshotm Itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve done my #mugshotmondays โ˜•๏ธ 

As a Mom,
life just started to get in the way ๐Ÿคช

Weโ€™re constantly #allthethings for #allofthepeople ๐Ÿ‘’ ๐Ÿงข ๐ŸŽฉ 
That next thing you know,
we forget to put ourselves first!

In the spirit of getting back to ME โœจ
that I shared last week,
Hereโ€™s the the many more Mug Shot Mondayโ€™s to come,
&
All of the random thoughts inside my head ๐Ÿ’•

Itโ€™s noon here,
And Iโ€™m 6 cups deep ๐Ÿ™ˆ
BUT
my day started with
meetings about upcoming opportunities ๐Ÿ˜
๐Ÿš€ The Sky is the Limit!!

๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ What are you up to on this Monday?
Or share your own #mugshotmonday & tag me in it @hotmesswithgrace!!

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 โ€œupโ€ with this makeup company sweeping the nation ๐Ÿค”

Since I purchased a different brand all together for setting powder,
I decided to grab some concealer since Iโ€™m almost out of my @tartecosmetics all time fav ๐Ÿ”ฅ

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?? ๐Ÿ’‹

I loveeee sharing good makeup that also hits the wallet in just the right way ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ This could be a game changer if itโ€™s good- BUT Iโ€™m hard to please ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

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

๐Ÿ’• Let me know your thoughts!!
As a busy Mom on the go, itโ€™s hard to find nutri As a busy Mom on the go,
itโ€™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??!! ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ)

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

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿคฏ

I was SHOCKED at how much I liked these guys,
because Iโ€™ve literally tried so many others that tasted like stevia, xylitol, or other various โ€œlow carbโ€ sweeteners. 

The cookie dough, TASTES LIKE COOKIE DOUGH! ๐Ÿช

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!!! ๐Ÿ’•

Thatโ€™s an interesting question I was asked by @novellia.ms 

because the reality is,

Iโ€™d spent most of my time running from that fact.

๐Ÿงก

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.

Peoplesโ€™ assumptions of MS,
that itโ€™s this big scary disabling disease
& that Iโ€™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....

I can refuse to be remembered for those things,

Today I had the immense pleasure of my first ever Today I had the immense pleasure of my first ever EEG ๐Ÿ˜’

Basically an EKG for your head,
Little sticky conductors and all ๐Ÿคฃ

They issued it,
Because last month I had my first black out episode- gave myself a black eye and everything ๐Ÿ™ˆ

So now we gotta check out whatโ€™s under the hood ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

โœ… Sleep deprivation the night before

โœ… No caffeine ๐Ÿ˜ญ โ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿ’”

โœ…27 stickies on your scalp (that yes, hurt like ๐Ÿคฌ when you take them off)

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

โœ… Now the worst migraine Iโ€™ve had in years, because my brain nerves just went thru the olympics for an hour on a bum system ๐Ÿคช

โœจ Iโ€™m SO GLAD thereโ€™s a great big beautiful tomorrow.
Because today?
LITERALLY K.O. ๐ŸฅŠ
