hello@alexandragater.com
Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued support. I get to make these videos for a living, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

I am floored by all of your kind comments and for everyone sharing their personal stories. This is exactly why I chose to share this. I know we as a community can come together and support one another. Thank you all so much 💕💕💕
IBS. I've been unable to work because of it and have no support or help. I'll be homeless in a few months because of it.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. I have been in your shoes AND I also had people tell me how great and skinny I looked when I was actually really sick. Never should people comment on bodies even when they think it's a compliment as it could actually hurt someone.
Alexandra Gater I am not the type of person who likes to share publicly about my personal life but I think you’re amazing and I love all your videos and you really inspire me! I am literally just had surgery last week because late last year I had bloating issues as well. Turns out it was endometriosis and cysts. I had it all removed and I am in recovery now. I know all that you’re going through. I know comments online can be painful but it’s more when it comes from family and friends. I am just glad that it’s all taken care of and I really do hope that you pin point what’s going on with you. Keep being awesome!!!
You're so kind and sweet and people can be mean and unkind. Behind a PC everyone feels authorized to say everything... I know it's hard, but don't listen and go on. Stay strong and all the best for your visit ♥️
Take care of you girl and let karma sort out everyone else. 😆 Congrats to you and your work wife on your expanding ventures! Focus on the awesome. Luv your channel.
I never thought you looked bloated or prego. I was to busy watching you decorate. I have an autoimmune disease and am recovering from cancer, so I get it.🙏🙏🙏
Colleen T get well soon ❤️❤️
God bless you in your healing Collen T., my family will be keeping you in our prayers.
same on the never thought she looked preggo, but was also busy super focused on your decorating. either way if you read this alexander you rock. :D
I shall pray for you...i had cancer too...there are brighter days ahead! I promise!!!
Why do people feel like they have the right to comment on women's bodies at all?!
Hope you're feeling better. XO from a fellow girl of the six.
Rebecca Holloway Because u cannot introduce urself I am such and such (I have 2 cats and a partner and lotty is the new cat. Where’s the partner btw!! It’s none of our business but pls fill the wholes or just shut up about your private stuff!!!!
Carol S. People decide what to share. That's called consensual sharing. Wherein people have the right to their privacy or sharing as they choose. Just like you would expect from others in your line of work. She's merely clearing the air from misconceptions.
No freaking idea. None.
And I get SO angry when people say ‘oh, it’s a shame about poor so-and-so who was murdered. She was so pretty’
I agree but I also understand because the thought crossed my mind. I’m a total fan and I’m sure her other fans wonder and some ask questions.
@@Carol01420 People will tell you things in their own time though, when they are ready. Why do you feel the need to ask? That's a very selfish mindset to have.
I just want to apologize for the comments that people have made! We love you, and always want the best for you. Thank you for sharing with sharing us! I hope you have good news soon.
I have ataxia and live in a care center. A nurse said my room felt "honey". Some CNA's like the feel and a few came to hang out.
Thank you for your videos. When ataxia started to become a bigger part of my life I transitioned from riding my bike everywhere and working on cars to watching CZcams all day and learning a ton about design. Your videos help me stay sane and have helped me create a bedroom that is so much morethen just a bedroom
It makes me so sad that people have commented such thoughtless things. I for one would be so appreciative if you did keep us updated on your stomach issue journey. I have similar stomach problems so it's nice to know that I'm not the only one!
Julia Merritt this is exactly why I chose to share this! I, too, am realizing by these comments that I’m not the only one and that makes me feel so grateful and I hope it does for you, too!
I was noticing the comment sections on your home decor videos are a little volatile - so I should comment more how I feel! I love the positivity of your videos and hope the best for you!! lottie's photoshoot was the cutest thing ever!!
Art by Tuna Same! I was wondering why people would bicker about everything Alexandra does since it’s “only” decor and there is no single right way to do it... will post more on her channel too, thank you for the inspiration!
That’s a good idea!
Lauren Wagstaff Yessss,me too!!!👏🏻🙏🏻❤️😊
It's actually crazy.
I’m sorry you go through that. I never notice your stomach and have always loved your style and your beauty. I know it’s easier said then done, but don’t waste your energy on negative people. I saw a story with a news anchor who suffered from your symptoms, and he found out he has Sibo, not sure if you found out what’s causing it.
Baby Yoda thank you so much for your lovely comment 💕
You've always struck me as a warm, beautiful person with a fabulous sense of style. Thank you for putting out creative, entertaining content and I'm sorry that there are people out there who feel the need to comment on anything else.
That is so lovely. Thank you 💕💕
Everybody’s body shape is so different. One of the things I’ve appreciated about watching your videos besides the genius decorating and organization is that you are so down to earth and wear normal comfortable looking clothing and look so cute in every one!❤️
So glad you shared this, Alexandra! People need to learn true kindness in today's world: take a step back, practice the pause, before saying anything. We do NOT know what someone's backstory is, and neither is it any of their business! I so enjoy your reno's - you have a style that is rather refreshing!
Oh, so very sorry to hear of your health challenges. Hope they will be able to find something to help relieve your pain. You have brought me so much joy and I am hoping and wishing for great joy for you as well.
Lottie truly is the most wholesome cat in the entire world, I can't get over how cute she is
Sarah hahah I love that you used the word wholesome 😹 that’s so accurate
Almost looks like a Birman but no white mittens and laces. Ragdoll?
Sorry you had to deal with insensitive comments😔 my husband suffers from ulcerative colitis and it's hard especially in flair up times when he is under pressure and stressed out. All the best for your health journey.
"I feel like 2020 is going to be a crazy year" Well, you were spot-on with that! 6 weeks into shelter-in-place and physical distancing!
June 2021 still in a worldwide pandemic ....
July 2022 and I have 5 friends quarantined with Covid. Will it ever end?
Oh sweetheart! You are so right! First off, I’ve never ONCE thought you looked anything other than adorable. I would never comment on someone’s appearance if that person hasn’t brought it up themselves! Maybe with age comes wisdom. Maybe! I think you were smart to address it though mostly because we all love you so much and only want to wish you well!!!!🙏🙏
Girl, way to be honest while being full of grace and humility. That is so needed. Hoping the MRI brings some clarity to what's going on 🥰
I honestly never noticed your stomach being bloated before, but I’m so appreciative you shared a little bit about your health journey. It’s so important to cultivate positive body image! Thanks for your authenticity!
First of all Alexandra, you look AMAZING.
I suffer from the same symptoms and I got some days where even people were offering me their seats on the train here in NYC.
I went to different doctors and they wouldn't find the cause. Till I find a doctor that suggested it was Candida overgrowth in my intestine (because of antibiotics my good bacteria died and the yeast took over). I had to stop eating bread, anything with yeast, and mushrooms, and 0 sugars, even fruit! But after a month eating like that, I started feeling so good! No nausea, no vomit, no bloating. Now I can eat "normal" again but very clean and the problems disappeared. Hope you feel better soon!
I suffered with IBS for several years until I figured out that I can’t eat iceberg lettuce. Once I cut that out I have only had a 2 bouts in 3 years. I so hope you get a resolution. Stomach problems are no joke.
Sissy B IBS and IBD are two totally different things - but really glad you found something that helps! ☺️ pain is pain, and it’s no fun for anyone!! X
How weird are Fodmaps!!
Thanks for sharing your personal medical condition with us.. even though you didn't have to. Much appreciate your bravery.. it helps me too. 💙
Thank you so much for your vulnerability. I hope those people here who claim to be your fans can be more respectful in the future
we need to be cheerleaders for other women, life is tough enough without us judging each other all the time... hope your medical issues are sorted soon
Yes 👏🏻👏🏻
I live with Hypothyroidism, IBS and Celiac Disease while my son lives with IBS and Diverticulosis. You've got this Alexandra!
Thanks so much for sharing with us. I relate to your stomach issues. I've had IBS since I was a kid, but only found out what it was a few years ago. It can sometimes be debilitating and hard to talk about since it is mostly activated by stress (sometimes food). I hope you get some answers and healing soon!
It’s so weird how some ppl just make assumptions and blurt it out without thinking about how it might effect that person🙄 As a fairly young person dealing with breast cancer, (which sucks big time😣) I sometimes think about how it’s really not visible to strangers... You never know what someone is going through and the struggles they are facing... All of that to say I feel you girl😅♥️ I love your content and personality and all the great home decor inspo👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Much love and healing vibes from Oslo, Norway♥️
I'm so sorry you're dealing with breast cancer, I can't imagine what that must be like 😟 all the very best!!
I had breast cancer too when i was 40! It is a terrible, hard road but you can do it! Having been a large breasted woman before i got sick, i was amazed that missing a breast messed up my equilibrium (i kinda verd to the left! Lol). I also wore alot of hockey jerseys...the covered up the missing breast really well...i have new ones now and they are spectacular! I got a beautiful tattoo to cover the scars...better days ahead sweetie...i will pray for your speedy recovery! Xoxox. In Canada
I watch your videos for tips, style and diy information! You do an amazing job! I can’t wait to follow you on your journey through 2020!
Thank you for sharing this! Sending all the positive vibes that the doctors will be able to figure out what's going on and help you ❤️
ppl are so rude! i really hope you get answers! love
ps I also have Crohn's and suffered my whole adult life with endo and ando metriosis. I finally had a hysterectomy when I was 48 yrs old. My surgeon told me she was shocked I ever had kids as my insides were a mess!! So, wishing you the best as you figure out what is going on with your body.
I loved this, I pray that your MRI goes well and it's such a privilege to share a part of your life, keep on rocking💪💖
I’m so sorry you’re having stomach issues. I suffered for years and it turned out to be a gluten allergy. I had all the symptoms of celiacs disease but it wasn’t formally diagnosed. Removing gluten changed my entire life
My friend was diagnosed & treated for chrone’s disease for 20 years until one day a doc suggested she get tested for celiac. She was and she had it. She switched to a strict gluten free diet & voila - no more chrone’s! (She was misdiagnosed all those years).
Stay strong, Alexandra! Sending good vibes and have faith, its so good that you are investigating and that you are taking care of you.Also I think you are so brave and inspiring to share this with us. Thank you for inspiring me and for making me happier :) after a long day if I watch your videos I feel so cozy and inspired! You are such a creative and one of a kind person. Take care
Best wishes with your health journey, thank you for sharing, kinda brave, just know you bring alot of joy to your viewers and we all wish you the best! 💗
I send good vibes for good news and healing. I have checked in weekly for your shows. Thank you for sharing with us. That takes courage.
I understand your feeling it took a while to get a dx. Stay strong we are with you. If you don’t feel they give you a proper dx keep searching. Give your kitty a hug from all of us.
My stomach also use to blow up like a balloon my entire life. I also suffered from debilitating migraines. I did an elimination diet removing all gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, corn, peanut butter, all artificial and regular sweeteners. During the elimination I found out I had sensitivities to soy, dairy, eggs and also found I had celiac disease (gluten). I no longer consume any of the above so called foods and follow a whole food plant based diet. I feel better now at 59 than I did at 20. Wish I had done it sooner. Good luck and remember your are beautiful and so talented! XO
Please tell me more...after my overies were removed, i started with a belly...and it is big up high too! I never have a solid bm...what do you suggest i remove first?
@@jemm2026 There are many elimination diets out there. I read "The Virgin Diet" by JJ Virgin. Don't confuse it with her cookbook though. I read the entire book before I did anything. That is super important. That is where my journey began. I mainly did it to get rid of migraines which I suffered from my entire life. I have never had a migraine since. When you read the book will understand. Best of luck!!!
@@susanjos2315 thank you sweetie! I will look for that book now!
Hey, I hope you feel better. I’m so sorry to hear about your personal health issue. Takes a lot of courage to open up. Your such a genuine person.
Hi! I just found your channel this month and I realize this video is from a year ago but I just hope you've been able to feel a lot better physically and mentally. Comments like the ones you're talking about literally do not matter. You're incredibly talented and I love your content! I'm seriously learning so much. I had COVID these past few weeks and all I could think to do was rearrange my apartment and finish decorating it. Thank you for your videos and your positivity! Keep killing it girl, sending the best vibes from the States 🇺🇸
Girl I'm crying cause SAME! It's been almost 5 years of trying to figure out what's really wrong. I've been diagnosed as celiac and also am lactose intolerant but not even cutting out those two huge food groups has solved my issues. It's so stressful and frustrating. I feel for you and know how cruel people can be especially behind a keyboard. I love your channel and your positive disposition even more now knowing completely what you've been going through behind the scenes. Much love from North Toronto ❤️
Same for me :( What really helped me is cutting out all sugar, gluten, lactose (from cows only (sheep and goat dairy products are ok for me) ), but also avoiding nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers...)
I can so relate from 1998 to 2002 I was sick from my stomach almost everyday. I tried many things, removing foods, times I ate, over counter meds, a colonoscopy, going to doctors .....nothing helped. So in the summer of 2002 my son was going away to college so I asked for the summer off to be home. That first day in June I didn't get sick, and that continued all summer I didn't get sick..............for me it was STRESS at work. I had to change things at my JOB.....I have been good ever since. Put yourself and your health FIRST ! Yolanda
My daughter had chronic stomach issues her junior year of high school. So bad she had to stay home for a semester and homeschool. She cut out all dairy and eventually became vegan. Also nothing fried, processed, spicy. It took time to heal her stomach but a lot was due to stress and anxiety, along with lactose intolerance and food sensitivities. Now she can eat meat but still no dairy or spicy foods. She’s a freshman in college now and a lot better. It was a horrible experience for her so I feel for what you are going through. I pray you get the right medical care to solve your problem 🙏🏻
oh no. celiac is brutal. hang in there.
I'm so happy that you're sharing more of your personal life. Thank you for showing your true self so that people like me with chronic illness can feel more comfortable being ourselves. Sending you love and positivity. 💜💜💜
Super amazing of you to be so honest and talk about something that has been hard for you. I love your channel, your style, and your positivity, and you’re so right to address this. I’m so happy you’re having an MRI and getting this sorted out and I hope that you will get a proper diagnosis and treatment soon. Keep on being you, you rock exactly as you are ❤️
I am so happy that I stumbled upon your account! You are so joyful, creative, and genuine. I love the design you bring to all of your client's homes. I wish you the best as you work through your health concerns. Also, congrats! She said YES! What a delight to have Alana full-time! Congrats on your growth and success!
I enjoy watching your videos because your decorating ideas are so inspiring, you’re adorably sweet and smart, and you have a beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing your vulnerable side. Your personal revelations are so relatable, and you’ve definitely got a lot of virtual friends on your side! Smiles 😊
Hi Alexandra! Its so fun to go along with you ever week. I'm so sorry for all those mean comments, you are killing it every week! I hope you get helpful results from the MRI!
Alexander, you are amazing!!!You are not just the physical person doing a vlog you are warm caring creative and so much more. When I watch your CZcams videos, I am inspired and also comforted. Thank you so much for everything you do, these are hard times. Please don’t discount all the good you do for the rest of us.❤️
Love your channel, Alexandra. Love your 2 kitty babies, too, and they way they look at you is priceless. Prayers for a good report from the doctor.
Very kind of you to share your health issues so openly and honestly. My thoughts and prayers your way. Your positiveness, creativity and lovely personality brings smiles to your many viewers and friends. Best wishes.
I was having similar stomach problems but doctors had no clue until I saw a naturopath. They were so patient and we eventually figured it out. I've been pain free for about 8 months now.
Thanks for opening up! Love the weekly vlogs ❤️
Love the lint brush before you go. That’s how I eat my avocado toast too. The everything bagel seasoning adds so much.
Damn! You're cat's a model! U go girl. I wish you good health my dear! 😊 I have a friend at church who was diagnosed with Crohn's and she received soooo many annoying comments when her weight drastically changed. But she eventually adjusted her diet and gained confidence after understanding what her body was going through. Plus she's a fabulous dresser who always looks fierce so I'm sure that was a confidence boost Lol
Good for you for bringing this up, thank you for helping all of us to be just a bit more mindful and compassionate. Hugs and best wishes for feeling better. Btw, never actually noticed you looked anything but engaging and fun. Love what you do, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this video 😩❤️ I have crohn’s and it’s definitely warped my perception of myself, my body, and my relationship with food soooo much. After 15 years I’m finally starting to understand my body and respect it enough to try to build a better relationship with myself. Anyways I appreciate your vulnerability so much; you don’t owe us that but I hope you know I/we appreciate it. I hope you get a diagnosis and support, keep on rockin ❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos and you!!! You lift me up when I watch your videos and make me have a better day. Keep doing what you are doing you bring me joy ❤️
💕🌸Love and prayers girl! You are amazing and beautiful!!!!🙏🏾😉 Thanks for sharing! You rock on so many levels! The vlogs really help us see behind the interior design side of you. Love it!!👍🏾
I used to have the same problem and I never got a diagnosis. I have never heard of anyone else that has had that issue and it has been really lonely, so I felt instantly connected to you when you were sharing. Thanks and please continue to talk care of yourself and only share what you wish 💜
As a huge fan of your videos and someone who has also been going through some similar health issues, I just want to say how much I admire all you are able to accomplish while waiting for a diagnosis and answers. Not knowing has definitely been the most frustrating aspect for me, so I really appreciate you sharing and hope you have answers soon.
I can also imagine it's beyond frustrating to have to address rude or invasive comments on top of everything, so I also applaud you for calling that out on your channel, and I wish you all the best.
I love your work and what you create and share with us. Thank you!! I don't know if most of your audience is young, but you have impacted this lady. I am in my mid 60's and find your channel delightful and inspiring!
So sorry for all you've been going through behind the scenes. ❤️❤️ Please know that your videos are a burst of sunshine into our lives. Let us shine some back to you now ☀️💕
I wish you so much luck in your journey to being diagnosed! I’m a GTA based videographer and was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease after quite a battle between doctors and surgeons. And also thank you for bringing awareness to how difficult it can be to hear comments about your body when in reality it is a medical issue. Good luck and thank you for being inspiring and positive all the time!
I just wanted to let you know how amazing you are, watching your videos has inspired me to work on my own place, starting my love for interior design on CZcams. The first video I watched was your makeover for a small space with a cat. Having 3 fur babies myself, I found it extremely helpful to know that you can still have good design even with litter boxes, who knew! I also never thought of using velvet material for furniture from your home makeover videos. Didn’t know that it wears better than most fabrics against cat claws. I could go on but I just wanted to let you know I really appreciate all that you do.
I had a gut issue some years back and I would get so bloated it looked like I swallowed a basketball. Turned out it had to get my gallbladder removed. I hope you get answers to your questions and the news is easy. Thank you for opening up about your life. I think its brave and caring to do so hoping to help or inspire others. Best
Mind blown with how you cut up your scone! 🤣 I thought everyone cut the top off and ate each section separately.
Also, thank you for sharing. I’m going through similar issues and find myself hiding in baggy clothes to avoid those types of questions. Why are people so cruel and thoughtless? ❤️
Best to you with the stomach issues. Loving your content. Thank you for the inspiration.
Keep up the great work, I've been working on my own place for a couple years on a VERY limited budget. I appreciate what you do on limited budgets. I said a prayer for you!
You girl, are absolutely gorgeous! A sweet spirit! An inspiration! Don't let anyone make you doubt that what you're doing is a gift to anyone who sees you delightful content! Thank you for making my confinement so FINE!
I’ve been dealing with IBS for as long as I can remember. I recently underwent a bunch of tests in hopes that it was something more treatable. Unfortunately, everything came back normal, so I was diagnosed with IBS. You are not alone in your pain. I’ve been finding a lot of support online and just knowing there are people out there who understand my issues and can empathize with how difficult some days are is the most amazing thing. Stomach issues are embarrassing AF, so to have people to talk to about it is great. Thanks for sharing your story! Sorry that people are so intrusive (FWIW I never noticed).
Sending you vibes of healing light! 🙏✨💕 Love you, and your videos!
P.S. you’re adorable, inside and out! Don’t let the bastards get you down. 😘
I love your Vlogs, and you are so brave! I know from experience with my kid what you are going through. Keep sharing your cuteness it brings me and others joy.
So sorry you are going through this! I’m trulyOLD & enjoy your videos TREMENDOUSLY!🙏💕
I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with stomach issues, and insensitive comments on top of that struggle. I have Crohn’s disease and can totally relate. Just wanted to say that you’re not alone, and that you’re such a badass for being able to build your career while dealing with those health issues 💪🏻
Hope you feel well very soon. I suffer from bloating too which is very painful. I was diagnosed with IBS and gluten & lactose intolerance. Sometimes they don’t show in tests but you would feel the difference when changing your diet. I also would recommend mint tea and hot pack for your tummy when you’re not feeling your best. Get well soon 🌸
I wish you well and congratulations to Lottie on her first shoot!😸
You have a lot of people here for you and who support you for you. Love you girl
I love your work and especially your very spunky and genuine personality. Your honesty about receiving rude comments and addressing them is super mature and responsible of you as well, and that you chose to share your personal health issue is also exemplary and to your point; how many people have anxious moments and even health issues exacerbated by thoughtless comments of others! It makes it important for everyone to remember our words can wound AND they can also on the other hand heal- choose wisely ❤
Alexandra you should totally frame some of the shots of lottie as art for your apartment!!!!!!!
Hey Alexandra - thanks for talking about your stomach problems so openly! I’m currently going through the same thing and it’s really affecting my body confidence too. I’m on a very restrictive diet at the moment to try and work out what is causing the problems. It’s so good to know that other people are going through the same thing. Also I don’t usually comment so while I’m here I just wanted to say that I love all your videos and your positivity!
Alexandra, I found your channel when searching for revamping smaller areas since I found out that I would be moving and downgrading as far as space goes. Since then I have watched a ton of your videos. You seem like such a beautiful soul, one that lights up the room whenever you walk in ❤ I hope you find some answers to your stomach issues and do not let the opinions of strangers on the internet get you down!
I'm sorry you're going through this :(
One of my friends had the same symptoms you are describing and it was stones in the gallbladder, in case that can be of any help! Hope you get better soon :)
Thank you for sharing and hope your able to find answers, as well as healing. I went through a health struggle myself recently and continuing on my healing journey.
I hope you feel better soon. Lottie's supermodel journey is going to be fun to watch thanks for including us.
In every one of your videos I always think that you’re very cute, very cheerful, and that you really have nice shirts and dresses with all those patterns! Which you definitely are, but above all, you are brave to share what you did. I have UC for over 17 years and life isn’t perfect. But it is important to stand your ground and address the things that make you feel hurt just like you did, so that the pain can more easily go away. I wish that your results are the best that can be and that you get better soon! ❤️
Don’t pay attention to internet trolls...they don’t deserve you! Love the photo shoot. Lottie is precious! 💜
Love you and your videos! Your ideas are so smart and pretty. Hope you feel better soon!
I am a mom probably old enough to be your grandma! But you are ADORABLE! I used your videos to show my kids and grand kids how they can decorate on a Budget! Some people just can’t help themselves and make comments that are not necessary! You are amazing, you help a lot of people, and make a difference to a lot of young and old people out there! I appreciate all you do! I hope you find relief soon but just just know you are so stinking CUTE! Feel better sweet girl and congratulations on hiring your first employee! Now go empower and encourage others to be inspired! 🥰❤️
Sending well wishes to you from Boston, MA! Your videos brighten my day and give me so much inspiration! Peace and love! 💙
Thank you for your bravery & sharing your story. I hope you’ll be ok & the docs can figure out what’s going on.
So glad you decided to share whats been going on! I've been dealing with gastritis for the past three months myself, so I totally understand :( I've been in a depressive funk bc I can't go out and eat with friends and family anymore, gut issues can really take a toll on you! Hang in there, Alexandra, I hope your results come back with some good news
Your style is so cute and I always enjoy your cheerful energy. Hoping for some positive outcome in your struggles.🌻
I love when you vlog to cute cafes and things !!!
Your courage is very inspirational to others who are going through similar experience with comments that have such a ripple effect.
Wendy & Dani too! I watch them too. What great girl pals. Good health and positive forward.
Love watching your decor. You have such a positive vibe and enjoy your videos. Hope your health improves soon.
I've been subscribed since you started this channel (which I ADORE) and never once noticed anything being out of the ordinary. I only stop to appreciate your cute outfits and hair/make-up/etc. People are so weird (o.O)
Love the way you addressed this and I'm so glad that you did. I don't think anyone should make the kind of comment that they would not (or should not) say to a stranger in real life and it is sad how people feel emboldened to give in to their basest self by hiding behind anonymity.
Love your vlogs nice to what goes on behind the scenes. I can’t believe people would comment things like that. What gives the right?! Just rude. Love what you do keep em coming 😘
Oh Alexandra I'm so sorry that you have had to deal with this. I ALSO have stomach issues and ALSO look bloated and have had SEVERAL people ALL while trying to recover from a 30 + year battle from an eating disorder. I just feel for you. Thank you for sharing this. You're NOT alone.
If I eat something and it reacts, I can go up 1-2 sizes, quite often I have to wear adjustable jeans so they don’t fall down when I’m okay x
So brave of you to share, I love watching your videos especially the Vlog type ones, lots of love xx
You are so beautiful! It is amazing how you always are glowing!! You are truly inspiring!
