... Read moreAs someone who has witnessed the impact of misunderstandings around Tourette's syndrome, I can say it’s refreshing to see more voices speaking out against the stereotypes. Many people online often reduce Tourette's to just the observable tics or, worse, compare it to unrelated concepts like 'Tics and Roses,' which not only trivializes the condition but also spreads misinformation. From my personal experience, it’s crucial to recognize that Tourette's is a neurological disorder that manifests through various motor and vocal tics, which can vary significantly from person to person. These tics are involuntary and not linked to behavior or personality. The frustration expressed in the phrase "I’m so over it" resonates deeply with many who feel overshadowed by these misconceptions. Educating the public through open conversations and sharing authentic personal stories helps reduce stigma and promotes empathy. For those living with Tourette's, communities like #ticcingtogether provide vital support and a platform to express their experiences beyond just the symptoms. It’s empowering to see how hashtags like #tourettesyndrome and #tics are being used to raise awareness rather than perpetuate misunderstandings. If you want to make a difference, consider learning more about the daily realities faced by people with Tourette's. Rather than clapping at the misconceptions, support initiatives that promote accurate knowledge and inclusion. Correct information helps dismantle myths and allows individuals to be seen for who they truly are—not just defined by their tics.

I was finally able to smell this gem at Ulta and I’m in love it smells so beautiful. I’m not really a fan of cherry fragrance, but this 1 was definitely different. It blends so well with the vanilla & coffee, it becomes captivating. 10/10 would recommend if your a gourmand girlie!. #ulta
