Guess who got a clean bill of health at my post-op Guess who got a clean bill of health at my post-opp appointment? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I also learned that my ovarian cyst was even bigger than they initially thought (almost 13 cm by 12.12 by 8.6!!!), and that it had twisted my ovary not once, but twice! That’s right, DOUBLE OVARIAN TORSION 😩😩 

And I *still* waffled about whether to go the ER at first 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully I listened to my body in time and I’m going to be okay now, but l am also going to be an even more vocal proponent of women ✨taking our pain seriously✨ because I could have lost my ovary (or my life) if I tried to grin and bear it like I do too often. I think as women we are socialized to do so, but that is garbage and we need to listen to our bodies and intuition about pain 💕 So this is my loving reminder to do just that! 

And THANK YOU for all the love and support and sweet messages and check ups from you babes! I noticed and appreciated each and every one of them, even if I was too loopy to reply to them all! But I’m about to be back to my usual posting soon, and I’m so excited to get back to normal again 🥰
Let’s talk Love Island USA! I’ve been watching Let’s talk Love Island USA! I’ve been watching for years (since UK series 4), but I’ve been especially locked in this season while I’ve been recovering from emergency surgery. I am beyond excited for our beautiful New York human ray of sunshine girlie #amayapapaya and I’m so happy that LOVE won Love Island (after a *really* weird season!) I’ve never seen fanfic made reality like #nicolandria and I hope nothing but the best for them! And I really want us all, as a society, to not hype up manipulative and abusive behaviors just because we think the person is hot. Swipe for more of my Threads and give me all your #loveislandusa takes in the comments 💕
A dreamy @samanthapleet pop up is happening at 135 A dreamy @samanthapleet pop up is happening at 135 Wythe today through Monday 7/14, 11-7 daily! I’m SUCH a Samantha Pleet fan, and I really appreciate her ongoing commitment to including plus and constantly working on improving fit and sizing! And the designs??? BEYOND. Highly highly recommend checking out the pop up this weekend. There’s a lot of great stuff I didn’t even get to, including plus in the $60 treasure bins! Let me know if you have any questions about sizing here, and if you aren’t in town, Samantha let me know you can always DM or email sizing Qs and they are happy to help! #samanthapleet #nycpopup #plussizefashion
