I spend A LOT of wasted time researching random things I probably don’t need.⁣

It starts with something simple, like a face serum someone mentioned online.⁣

Three hours later, I’ve read 47 reviews, watched six comparison videos, learned more about peptides than any reasonable person should know, and somehow ended up shopping for artificial olive trees.⁣

Most of the time, I emerge with nothing but useless information and several abandoned shopping carts. ⁣

The upside is that every once in a while I find something that’s actually worth sharing.⁣

These 5 Amazon finds have genuinely made life with CMT hands and AFOs easier—and one of them may be the least glamorous recommendation I’ve ever made.⁣

Happy Monday, Perfectly Imperfect Friends. 💜⁣

A little reminder as we start a new week and a new month:⁣

Not every good day feels magical.⁣
Sometimes joy shows up quietly.⁣

It’s the hot coffee that stayed hot.⁣
The text from a friend.⁣
The dog curled up beside you.⁣
The parking spot close to the door.⁣
The laugh you didn’t see coming.⁣

Today, instead of waiting for something big to make you happy, look for the tiny disco-ball moments already scattered throughout your day.⁣

What’s one small thing bringing you joy today? ✨🪩

Happy Monday, Perfectly Imperfect Friends! ☀️⁣

Let’s start the week thinking about the little things that spark instant joy — the tiny “life glimmers” that can completely shift your mood. ✨⁣

I’d add: “fitting my leg braces into shoes I never thought would work.” 😂👏⁣

Other honorable mentions:⁣
• finding a parking spot right by the entrance⁣
• when your coffee is actually still hot by the time you drink it⁣

What about you?⁣

Thanks for the 🎨 & inspo⁣

This weekend a fun friend of mine had a “wear something special you’ve only worn once” party. So the dress I wore to my son’s bar mitzvah 10 years ago was officially called out of retirement.⁣

A few observations from 2016 vs. 2026:⁣

1. The dress still fit.⁣
𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.⁣
Emotionally, it fit very differently.⁣

2. Ten years ago I had a professional makeup artist.⁣
This year it was me, a magnifying mirror, determination, and thank God for Makeup Erasers because… it took awhile.⁣

3. The biggest difference?⁣
The “flat” but not actually completely flat boots.⁣

Ten years ago I wore them without thinking twice. This time, with my CMT and AFOs (leg braces hidden under the boots), I noticed every second of balancing, walking, leaning, and strategically finding places to sit. I can still do it… just not as effortlessly.⁣

But maybe getting older, especially getting older with a disability, isn’t about doing everything the same way you used to. Maybe it’s about continuing to show up anyway — differently, slower, wiser, more appreciative, and still fully yourself.⁣

So if your Monday body, brain, confidence, energy, or season of life feels different than it used to… you’re not alone.⁣

We’re all learning how to keep moving forward in bodies and lives that keep changing on us. And that doesn’t make us weak. It makes us human.

Monday Mindset - Thank you 🎨⁣

Repeat after me. I am capable. I can do hard things because I am brave. If I put my mind to it, anything is possible.

I am not perfect but I always try my best. I am a star. I shine bright. Nobody can dull my sparkle. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⁣

These are my favorite spring shoes—and honestly, they check every box.

Lightweight ✔️
Removable insole ✔️
Super wide (AFO-friendly) ✔️
Velcro ✔️
Non-skid sole ✔️

Basically… perfection.
Comment “SHOES” if you want the link.

Some happy thoughts to start the week…⁣

For me, workouts (friends or no friends) do not elicit happy thoughts. Finishing one does. And I’m not totally sure what pebble ice is?⁣

A few of mine:⁣

– A thrift find with original tags still on it⁣
– When a restaurant has Coke Zero 𝘢𝘯𝘥 St. Germain⁣
– When shows I order fit my leg braces and I can actually walk comfortably in them ⁣
– Finding a new series to stream with an entire season available to watch⁣

What about you?⁣

Happy Friday—love an unintentional accessible accessory, and this one’s actually different.⁣

I found a necklace on one of my favorite websites where the entire cord is magnetic, so you can adjust it to literally any length. Choker, longer, layered…whatever works that day. And, you can easily swap out the pendant for another one using the same magnetic leather cord.⁣

Have a great weekend! 🩷

It’s Monday morning and somehow I’ve already planned a full life reset before coffee ☕️⁣
New house. New wardrobe. New habits. New me… by tomorrow, obviously.⁣

Maybe, I should start with just getting dressed?

Can you relate?
