My Story

Hello! 

My name is Tessa and I am super excited to start this new chapter in my life! I have always dreamed of being able to help as many people as possible and never really knew which route in my life would be the best for me. In June 2019 I  graduated High School and Cosmetology school consecutively. I thought that maybe helping women feel confident about their style would be the perfect career for me to combine being creative and the desire to help others. However, fate had other plans.

I was diagnosed with F.N.D. (Functional Neurological Disorder) in late December 2019. Basically, this means that my brain, although structurally completely normal, functions incorrectly. So, when I am telling my body to do something it doesn’t  always listen to me, and it can also cause a lot of painful symptoms. If you want to know more about F.N.D. and my journey with it, I have a new post explaining my diagnosis and first attack.

I am however, way cooler than my diagnosis makes me seem. I love to decorate my house, learn how to cook new things, try out new life hacks, most of all be creative in making my life the best it can be. One of my main goals this year is to make my home and daily life as peaceful and healthy as I can. It does get a little difficult for me trying to manage being young and chronically ill with wanting a more mainstream lifestyle, but that is where this blog comes in.

I want to create a safe place for me to share with other young women what I am learning and how I am overcoming the struggles of daily life in the real world. I will be sharing my daily routines, my favorite meals, my hacks for anything and everything and just my overall lifestyle.
