Because you told me that story.

Most of these I had to find out on my own just through life! Some of these topics can feel uncomfy to talk about (especially with your parents) but who else will you learn it from?! We have to de-stigmatize stuff like this because these conversations are really important for young girls and there’s

Let’s get real about pH balance. Because growing up, nobody taught me that fresh doesn’t mean scented, and that some of the things I thought were helping me were actually throwing off my body’s natural balance. Here’s what messed with my pH Scented soaps + bubble baths Tight, non breathable und

This it what I would tell my younger sister if I had one, and what I am telling you instead, as I wished someone told me these before. I definitely had my struggles going through university but maybe you don’t have to. 1. Not everything will go as planned and it does not have to. You will eventu

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Friday. January 20th 2017. I just got out of school. My teacher texted me and said she would be on the way to sit with me while we waited for my mom to get off work. My stepfather dropped me off to the hospital before going to work, we met up with my te

About January of 2023 I started to get the urge that I wanted a new car. I had just started my YouTube journey and in one of my first vlogs I was driving and mentioned on camera (talking to myself) aka the audience, that it was time to upgrade. I owned my Cadillac SRX because I bought it cash after

i’ve been through the ringer in life, i’m not gonna lie. things haven’t been easy and i’ve worked incredibly hard to get where i’ve gotten, but it all worked out in the end. i have a job that i love, a supportive partner who loves me for me, a group of real friends who uplift me instead of teari

The day before Halloween I was dilated to 4cm at 37+3. I honestly thought I’d end up having her on Halloween after all the walking with my older kids. My midwife sent me home with the midwife’s brew recipe & said “we’ll see you soon if she doesn’t come we’ll discuss our next step”. I went hom

When my kids were born at 28 weeks, there were a lot of “what if’s.” We didn’t know what was going to happen, and honestly a lot of the time we expected the worst. We didn’t think we were going to be able to bring our babies home with us. Sure, 28 weeks along is better than 24, but you never know.

When I was 22 weeks pregnant with my son, I had my maternity pictures done because I thought we were going to have to say goodbye to my beautiful son, as we were being told. I did everything to have whatever memories I could get from the pregnancy. I have not looked at those pictures at all since h

It was the morning after my birthday, and I woke up with 3 minute apart yet painless contractions. It was strange how they were back to back, but I planned on spending the day as normal. I walked my dog, made invoices and phone calls, and decided, well if this is real, I might as well clean the who

Today marks five years of being alive. Five years ago, I experienced one of the darkest moments of my life. Never in a million years did I think I would end up in such a place where I didn’t want to be here. I suffered a severe pharmaceutical injury after having my daughter, and it robbed me

When I found that I was having a baby girl that was one of the best days of my life. I didn’t give birth the natural way that I planned. I thought I was going to be home and my water would have broke but “No”. I lost my OB doctor when I was 36weeks pregnant and I was soo stressed because I needed

Let’s talk about periods specifically my real experience with tampons, pads, and menstrual cups. Because no one really teaches us how different they can feel on our bodies until we go through it ourselves. So here’s my little storytime I started out using pads because that’s what my mom gave me

I really believed that if I could just understand it, everything would fall into place. And understanding helped, it gave me language, clarity, and context. But what I didn’t realize yet was that my body was still braced. Still waiting. Still protecting. My mind knew the story. My nervous

🌸I chose to start writing poetry a few years ago, though at the time, I didn’t really know why. I would write little poems in my journal and later started putting them on my phone. It was fun, and I enjoyed it, but what I loved most was how simple it was—how just a few lines could make such an impa

#girlgrowth #lemon8challenge This is my girl growth story. Not just a journey into womanhood, but a story of surviving when I should’ve been playing with Barbies and having slumber parties. At 11 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. While most girls my age were picking out

❤️We were friends in high school since the 10th grade. As time passed by, we were getting caught up in our studies and were slowly venturing off into planning for our future careers, during our Senior year. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to finish our senior year the way that we wanted to because COV

March 19th, 2023 will always be a special day for me. A day unexpectedly with pure joy. To my son, mommy loves you with all her heart and I’m so glad I get to spend my life with you.🫶🏽 A week before I had you I was experiencing horrible migraines, random flashes throughout the day, had swollen feet

Hello lemon8, today I wanted to give a more in-depth #storytime about how my transplant went down. This is a bit of a long story, but i’ll try to keep it entertaining. On saturday, June 8th, I received a call from my transplant coordinator. She told me she had a donor offer, (deceased donor

💕I don’t even know where to began! I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd and final baby shortly after my one and only terrible miscarriage! We were ecstatic! The kids were so happy to have a baby sissy on the way! My entire pregnancy went pretty good, besides when I had a scare having to go t

In may of 2019, actually Memorial Day.. I was working the ER when EMs/Police brought in a psych patient. Well at the small facility i was working at the time, we didn’t have security, we had to cologne enforcement with law-enforcement had left at this time. And we have to dress out and do basic lab
