New @coloplast samples came today! I asked for the 2-piece click drainable ostomy pouch, because two piece and drainable makes 💩 easier to deal with 😉 The materials and locking system are far different than my current appliance, but it never hurts to try new things. #coloplast #sensuramio #sensura #ostomy #ileostomy #ostomybag #nocolonstillrollin #boweldisease #ulcerativecolitis #colitis #hollisterostomy #trynewthings #ostomylife #getyourbellyout #stoma #stomalife

I’m so sorry, at the moment I’m just kinda rereading some of my comfort series that I’ve either already reviewed or plan on reviewing much later when the series is closer to finishing. Dealing with everything that’s happened this year regarding my health has been tough. While you’re going through it you kind of have no choice but to get on with whatever it is and deal with it. You take the drugs because without them you’ll die. And when they stop working you take the drugs that make your hair fall out in chunks. And when they stop workin you prep for surgery because without it you’ll die. But what about when it’s no longer life or death? When the surgery’s done and you’re no longer in danger? you go home from the hospital, they wean you off the drugs, your hair stops falling out as quickly. What then? That’s the time people don’t warn you about, when you have time to stop and breathe and think and mourn. And that’s kind of what I’m dealing with right now, the slow down period where I heal and learn to adjust. And it’s taking all of my mental energy and strength so I’m having a very short break from reviewing while I learn to deal with this, I might do one or two reviews, I’m not sure. I’m not setting any rules or schedules and if I read something and have something to say and the energy to say it of course I’ll post it but this is more of a warning that that may be happening less often for a little while. But I’ll be back fully once I deal with everything and I hope it won’t take long. Xxx thank you all so much

I wore this Mickie Mouse crop yesterday as it was still so warm, especially at Mum's house. Felt brave enough to walk to my sisters in it as I was babysitting even with my belly on show. My nieces kept telling me to cover my belly up. So today I bought two more crop tops because I felt good wearing it 😂✌️ All tops from @primark #bodypositivity #bodypositive #bellyout #bellyoutdontcare #getyourbellyout #bellyoutnocares #croptops #primark #primarkbargain #loveme #lovemyself #mystyle #primarkfashion https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz5zMg1gD5g/?igshid=1czqpwex5uley

Today marks 10 years of being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. For those who don't know, I have inflammation and bleeding ulcers in my intestine. This causes me to be fatigued, bloated, extreme weight gain or loss and extreme abdominal pain. Luckily I've been in remission for few years now thanks to my medication. But it is not easy to live with an invisible illness. There is a stigma that if there is no "clear" signs of health problems then you really aren't sick. But this is not the case, people need to understand that there is more under the surface and be not too quick to judge. It has been a struggling ten years; learning how to manage my diet, healthy lifestyle choices, stress levels and keep my social life. Luckily I had a great start with this journey thanks to @cheohospital the strong and amazing support from my family. Thank you to my brother @drake.lariviere for always standing by me and trying to keep me strong through this journey. Thank you to my father for always making sure I had a smile on my face and reminding me not to be too serious. Now my mother spent many hours away from work and sleep to take care and manage my disease and if it wasn't for her, I'd likely not be in this spot today. Thank you mom for all your amazing support and thank you for continuing to help me. Lastly, above this beautiful tattoo above reminds me everyday the struggles I've gone through between managing a diet, being "normal", changes of medication dosages, body image, and acceptance, but here I stand proud of everything I've accomplished and ready to take on the rest of my life!! 💜 #purpleribbon #getyourbellyout (at Crohn's and Colitis Canada)
