“A woman is like a tea bag – you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
Hello Everyone, It is good to be back! A lot has happened since we last spoke, but what hasn't changed is my desire to help other women through fashion and my simple words. The fact of the matter is lately, I've been fighting a very private battle with my health. I've endured 2 surgeries, and countless invasive doctor visits in which have given me endless hours of contemplating why others are not talking about this. Why aren't there other women voicing the pain, the humiliation and the interfering condition that this is? Bartholin's Cysts/Abscess. I have had 5 or 6 Bartholin's Cysts in the last year alone, those cyst then turn into painful abscess that grow rapidly and become extremely excruciating to deal with. The doctors all say, it is simply something some women deal with and there is no way to truly stop them from recurring. This is not enough for me, I want to try to defeat this, I want my life back.
How does all this relate to a fashion blog, you may be asking? Well, anytime I feel like absolute crap, which lately is pretty common, I pick myself up, put on a pretty dress and get out of my own thoughts. I may not be able to find a cure, but I will find a way to treat my ailments. I've been lucky to have an amazing support system with my family, friends and loved ones, however I'm aware not everyone has this. Please do not get me wrong, I am fully aware there are far more serious, scary and chronic illnesses and ailments than mine, but I figured there must be other women quietly suffering with a women's health issue, and feeling ashamed to talk about it. Why should we be? We can not be the only women enduring a scary, unknown issue with our health. Women, in nature, are strong natrually, we can be even stronger together. Through this process, I hope to continue to use fashion, pop culture and my own perspective to this blog to bring light and positivity to anyone who cares to read. If I can reach just one person, maybe there is a bigger purpose than I realize.
Thank You for reading, returning or joining this small online community. If you or anyone is dealing with any ailment, disease or anything please feel free to contact me. We are in this together, ladies.
