The Zebra Diaries
Registrace 14. 11. 2019
Hi, welcome to my channel. My content will be varied and will include how I live my life with many chronic life changing illnesses. It will be a mixture of VLOGS, makeup tips&life hacks for the good days&the bad days. It will be showing my life’s ups and downs, meditations, rants, positivity&sometimes my negativity (keeping it real). I think my aim for this channel is to show the real side of living with chronic illnesses and the impact on daily living. I want to help others of all sexes and show people who also suffer with pain and conditions that they aren’t alone. I will try to be brave and talk about & show sides of illnesses that many try to hide from others which can lead to feeling isolated and alone. I want to show those not living with illnesses the rollercoaster ride that is life for us dealing with conditions. The channel won’t just be negative, I want it to be fun, informative, interesting and most importantly REAL.

Thanx for trying to make us feel good. I always watch glow up videos...but its all just so difficult...i cant do any of that...or maybe i just miss my previous version of myself.
@@adeleaderu2914 I miss the previous version of myself too but I had enough of letting my conditions strip me away of myself. I have to keep adapting how I apply makeup or do my hair as my conditions flare or worsen. I need to try and do an updated video. Please try to put some makeup on to make yourself feel like you again. Even if you just do one thing 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for all your tips. I am still waiting on my diagnosis but this video really helped. I never heard of Spoon Theory until you mentioned it. For the past half an hour I've been reading up on spoon theory and I've learnt so much about it. THANK YOU <3
Hi Nae, first thank you so much for watching. Knowing I helped in any way makes the hard effort of filming and editing worth it so thanks for taking time and energy to let me know. I’m sorry to hear you’re waiting on a diagnosis. May I ask what you/they suspect is wrong? I hope they sort it all soon so you know what’s next. The spoon theory helps so many people plan their days or work out their pain/exhaustion levels as the day goes on. I really hope it’s a method that helps you. If you have any questions please ask me, thank you again x
Bless you xx
Any Carers out there, you aren’t alone!
Hugs Lovely. You are such an inspiring lady x
I LOVE this! Awesome tips! I also noticed you had your eyebrows already done. Do you get them microbladed? I want to do this because I feel like eyebrows are the hardest part for me with EDS (mostly because I have tremors though).
Her Eternal Summer thank you so much. Yes i had my eyebrows microbladed which were amazing but they were extremely painful to get done for me as I have bad nerve pain and there are many nerves behind the eyebrows which I didn’t know and the therapist told me it could irritate the nerves and it did. and I am suffering side effects which were given to me as a warning and I took the risk. I have eczema and it is triple worse on my eyebrows now since the microblading and because I have oily skin the pigment fades really quickly. I guess it’s different for everyone. I reeeaaalllllyyyyy want it done again but I don’t know if the pain and eczema flares are worth it. I now draw brow strokes on which look ok but obviously wear off by the end of the day. x
I think you definitely should make more videos on dating as a spoonie. I feel lucky in that sense that I wasn't that sick before I met my fiance (10 years ago) but I was still sick and I constantly hid it from my partners and on dates. I dated numerous people who would always make me feel bad that I couldn't eat this or do that and treated me like I was a drag. Those are NOT the right people for us and it's better to wait. I always hate to hear the struggle people go through to find connection because of their illness. My mom is the same age, we seem to have a lot in common. She is sick too. I'm always worried about her with this COVID stuff. My dad is sick too and I worry about him. Random side note, I LOVE your makeup! <3
Her Eternal Summer I will make more videos for sure. The heatwave is flooring me at the moment so once that cools down I’m determined to make more vids on my good days. I’ve had a really tough 4 months but I miss filming. Thank you for sharing your experiences, I really appreciate it xx
I have the same stuff that you have going on as well. I found your video on a fb group :) I would love to see more of your videos. I just started a youtube a couple months ago and it's so awesome to see so many other zebras on here. I believe I have arthritis too from weight training. They haven't diagnosed me yet but I can tell that's what's going on (I'm 35 so your age). It just started a couple years ago (the arthritis symptoms). And it's soooo true about listening to your body and how we're told to do XYZ for our EDS but it just hurts more than helps. You really have to find what works for you like you said. I love that you talk about the beauty in life <3 It's everywhere isn't there? Can't wait to see more from you! xoxox
Love this. Sending love fellow zebra warrior💕💕
❤️

Huge thanks and hugs to you. We all need this reminder sometimes. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now x

Well said !!! 👏👏👏
iluvlaughinghard thank you 💋
Hi girl!! You are SO beautiful 😍 I just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more from you!! Sending all my love 💜💖
Also I know what you mean about grieving your old life. I used to be a dancer as well and a figure skater and I missed them both soooo much!! Thankfully I have my art and writing which keeps me going some days.
I need one of those. It's amazing
Bawling 😭 I’m that ball in the corner today. The grief taking over. Thank you so much for sharing this. Not feeling quite so alone x
Oh sweetheart, I’m so sorry you’re feeling it today. All I can say is let it all out until there’s nothing left and then hopefully you’ll be able to pick yourself up. You definitely aren’t alone x💖x
People who judge those on medication are really monsters. Keep taking your morphine and remember that people that judge you have no idea what they're talking about. Spiritual people who believe in natural medicine, in my experience, are not often intelligent or informed.
Omigod this is genius! I always struggle trying to press down on little pump bottles and do it awkwardly with both hands; I'll try using a closer joint in the finger like you do! thanks!!
Ah bless you, it is so hard. I really hope these tips help you. Thank you for watching 😊
That's kinda cool
Huggles Vlogs thank you. It’s very helpful
Hair dryer
Delmer Diaz no hairdryer because for people in pain they cannot hold a hairdryer
I dont get pain but so much insomnia. Its very depressing! I think meds def dont help. Xx
Katie Dickinson insomnia is a nightmare and when it’s a side effect from a med it’s daunting knowing it’s never ending :-(
You have beautiful eyes! Great tips! <3
Kim Bell Schneider thank you so much. I’m glad that you enjoyed the tips x
Hug back maam
jeric TV thank you so much
Very helpful, thank you for the tips
mashemel thank you so much. Glad you found it helpful
I legit cried seeing this. I have been searching for something for ideas how to do makeup. I have hEDS and started getting very ill just as I was starting to learn makeup around 14 years ago. I'm 38 now and struggle. And hearing you call it your mask hit home cause I tell folks out in public I have to wear a mask all the time. Thank you for doing this and I'm excited to try the tips!! (BTW... Love mermaids and sirens too so yay!!)
Awwww I’m so so glad you found it helpful. I’m sorry you have been struggling. Literally happy you found me. Thank you for subscribing x
@Sunshyne McDaris, I love mermaids too and I'm 35 (I thought I was too old haha) I even made a film about a siren! I struggle with my makeup as well (I have heds too) and as I get older it's sure getting harder but I love beauty/makeup so much.
@@hereternalsummer8224 Never too old! Only time too old is when you don't find joy in anything anymore. lol.
@@sunshynemcdaris9681 That is SO true. You gotta do what makes you happy and live this life up! That's a great attitude :D
Another flat footed zebra here! 🦓 🙋🏻♀️ I have orthotic insoles for my shoes too. I get 8/9 - my elbows aren’t hypermobile (about the only part of me that isn’t 😂)
Kathy Attwood hiiii fellow zebra! Do the insoles help you at all?x
The Zebra Diaries a little yes! My feet feel much better with them. I need to find some more supportive shoes though as my ankles have started rolling too 😏
Kathy Attwood I hate that! My ankles do the same. I wear sports ankle supports or bandages to support them as even with ankle boots they roll 🤦🏻♀️ I’m going to do a video showing all the support aids I use and wear.
The Zebra Diaries that would be great! I have a few ankle supports but can’t get my shoes on over them haha. I’d certainly be interested to see what you use! :)
yaaay - well done yemmy. So proud of you xx
Athena Demetriou Awww thank youuuu xx I’m more proud of you though!x
This is really helpful, thank you :) Do you have any tips for putting foundation on? I use a beauty blender but struggle to hold it some days. Hair drying tips would be awesome :)
Kathy Attwood I’m so glad it was helpful! I’m definitely going to be doing foundation, concealer, blush everything in other videos. Foundation is next xx
I love your video 💪 my dear friend!! They are very informative!! And I love your Strength though the Storm! You ! Are a Queen!! 🥰🙌🏽keep them Rolling Great information !

The Gomez Family thank you so much for such a lovely message. I really appreciate it xx
THI.. nice video .. I am making the subscriber by the way.. thanks
I'm pagan and very into natural remedies _ but sometimes it's not enough so like you I have a ton of medication to have a quality of life (although that's stretching it at times 😅) I here all the time maybe you'd get better if ..... Have you tried ..... If you loose some weight ..... 😒😞 . I would never judge people for doing what they had to do to relieve their pain . I wish I could afford to do some alternative therapies regularly to help my health but that's not an option . I hope you feel better soon! It was a great vlog _is that the right terminology ?! 🤔 Take care hunny xxx
As you probably know already, I’m extremely spiritual. I started out as Wiccan and now I just class myself as spiritual (I hate labels) so That’s also why I’ve tried every natural remedy out there but as you said sometimes it just isn’t enough. But for many many people it does work, sadly for me it doesn’t. Trust me I wish with all of my heart that it did, I hate putting western medicine into my body. I know saying “quality of life” is stretching it but honestly if I didn’t take my meds I would have zero quality of life. I’m so thankful that you don’t judge me or others. Thank you for saying it was a great vlog, I do really appreciate you watching and supporting me xxx
You are a beautiful person in and out and you so remind me of my self we think 🤔 alike! I tell people all the time don’t Judge me !!! Only God can judge me!! You Rock!!!👼👸🏽🙌🏽❤️
Millie Armstrong thank you so much. You too are obviously a beautiful soul and I’m so grateful we have connected. 💕
The Zebra Diaries I am so glad we connected as well 👼🤗My Queen 👸🏽 Sister!! I will continue to follow you !! And if you ever need to talk to me!!touch base with me on IG messenger!!anytime !! Also I live in Brooklyn Ohio!!Hugs and much Love!!we will try to help one another!!!👼🤗👸🏽🙌🏽❤️🥰Feel Better Queen
I will never judge you or anyone!! I tried CBD with Thc In it!! And it does not stop the pain! So I am going to try a Nerve blocking medication ❤️ love you Queen 👸🏽!!
I have a appointment with my Pain management! I am seeking for anything that will help my pain!!😩
Millie Armstrong good luck with your appointment! Let me know how it goes please. I’m like a part of the furniture at the pain clinic. You must try everything you can or you’ll always wonder what if? xxx
The Zebra Diaries I will surly let you know!! Queen 👸🏽🥰
