Cozy just got an upgrade! As a proud hoodie girl, Cozy just got an upgrade! As a proud hoodie girl, I thought I’d seen it all—until @gianthoodies sent me their oversized hoodie made of the softest, plush fabric imaginable. Let me tell you, this isn’t just a hoodie—it’s a wearable hug that beats out every hoodie in my collection! 😻

I get cold easily, so this will be my go-to for surviving winter. Whether I’m enjoying a rest day, recovering after a seizure, or simply embracing my homebody vibes, this hoodie wraps me in ultimate comfort. It’s like lounging in a cloud!

Plus, Giant Hoodies offers a variety of colors, styles, and even customizable options, so there’s something for everyone. Seriously, click their name and check them out—I highly recommend snagging one for yourself (or a gift for a fellow hoodie lover)! Thank you, @GiantHoodies, for sending me my new winter essential. ❄️🖤

This little girl had no idea what life had in stor This little girl had no idea what life had in store for her. She couldn’t have imagined that in 20 years, she’d be diagnosed with epilepsy—a condition that would bring its share of challenges, battles, and lessons.

But what she also couldn’t foresee is how those challenges would shape her into the person she is today: an advocate raising awareness, supporting others around the world, and proving that life’s toughest moments can lead to incredible purpose. ❤️
