    Anyone that knows me knows I’m part mermaid. I will do anything to get to the ocean which means through hot sand. I still can walk assisted so I put on water socks (my feet are super sensitive) and walk/get dragged (piggybacks sometimes). It is temporarily inconvenient but so worth it.

    I love red and green chile! Posole, burritos, ribs,stew, flautas… I also could eat pizza everyday. I’m with Frankie, not a pizza I didn’t like. I know ice cream isn’t a meal per se but I can make it one.

    I always use Lyft. They have an option to indicate ‘disabled’ on your profile allowing the drivers to know beforehand. They are the most understanding and compassionate drivers I’ve came across.

    I always name mine. When you personify a DME then you can bring humor or lighten stuff because FA is serious enough. My red walker was Walker Texas Ranger. I have a black one now and her name is Johnnie Walker. My wheelchair is Jayonce (it’s a Jay 2).

    I use a brush specifically for foundation. It says ‘foundation’ to help my dumbass. I bought some stuff to play dress up, so wish me luck.

    I now use a brush to apply my foundation instead of a sponge. I do a blender for my creases (nose and undereye). I have dark circles under my eyes and I have laugh lines so I watched videos on YouTube to learn what to use and how. I still stuck at contouring.

    I hate myself so I do wall squats and planks. Its not cardio but it gets my heart going.
