U should look into cruises for holidays!! I’m disabled and went on my first cruise last June-got to see tropical Queensland-there is a hospital on board, so medical assistance whenever you need it-you also get onboard, get unpacked, and that’s it until the end of the cruise-no transfers/plane trips/hotel changes/etc.!! There are cruises practically that go everywhere!! I’m planning to go to New Zealand on my next cruise!! Highly recommend for people with health issues/disabilities!
I pretty much refuse to go on a cruise because of my disabilities. I would pretty much have 0 chance of survival if shit hit the fan. Not sure why anyone with a disability would want to spend any amount of time, miles and miles away from shore.
@@sneepsnorp1404 Always remember disabilities affect people differently. Just because cruising isn't safe for your medical situation does not mean it won't benefit everyone.
420Taiga I’m in a wheelchair and went on a week long cruise to the Bahamas and loved it! They have evacuation plans for those with special needs as well.
@@tiggums You should get educated on a topic before commenting. Norovirus infections on cruise ships affect a very small percentage of cruisers. From 2008-2014 only 130,000 out of 74 million cruisers got it. We hear about it so much because they track the disease and report cruise infections but not in other everyday situations. People are far more likely to catch it in school, hospitals, restaurants etc. There are also many cruise lines that never had an infection breakout. Staying away from cheap economy ships greatly lower all risks.
420Taiga I’m not saying cruising is for everyone, but the medical assistance on board is second to none. I live in Australia, so for my first cruise that I mentioned, I didn’t go out of Australian waters, and did a cruise of the tropical north of our country-Queensland, so that if anything did happen, I could just get off the boat and I would still be in my own country. My doctors wouldn’t let me go out of the country and travel “miles” away out to sea anyway. My worries turned out to be unfounded, and I was completely fine. I also made sure I had travel insurance-a little more expensive than a healthy person, but still very reasonable for 10 nights away, for a high level of cover, that did cover aeromedical evacuation from the ship in a helicopter if needed. It is worthwhile checking aeromedical evacuation is covered if you are chronically ill and going on a cruise-or anywhere really. Most insurers offer specific cruise insurance or you can add on a “cruise pack” to regular travel insurance. It’s also worthwhile to get international travel insurance for a cruise even if you aren’t going out of your countries waters, as most doctors are international-ie not from your country on cruise ships-for example on my Australian cruise I was told it would be unlikely there would be Australian Doctor’s on board (they are mainly American doctors I’m told), and therefore if I did need the doctor, it couldn’t be charged to Medicare as they are ineligible to be a Medicare provider-even tho we didn’t leave Australian waters. If viewers are Australian, chronically unwell and are having difficulty finding an insurer that will cover all your conditions-(it’s worthwhile to declare absolutely EVERYTHING, even if they can’t insure you for it, it’s best to be upfront about it -mental health conditions are a good example-most insurers won’t cover anyone for mental health conditions) you can call the Insurance Council of Australia-they gave me the names/contact details of insurers that were prepared to ensure “high risk” people like myself. I’m sure many other countries would have an insurance council or some sort of overarching insurance body/regulator that you could call for information. There is also heaps of info on the net if you google traveling with chronic illness/disabilities (disabilities are a different prospect insurance wise apparently-some disabilities don’t even need to be declared or covered specifically). I also could have gone on a much smaller cruise-there are short breaks of 2-3 nights that most cruise lines offer, that usually don’t go far at all, because you can’t get too far away from the port you left from in only 2-4 days when you have to factor in the time it takes to sail back to port. In Australia, there are companies that specialise in providing carers for cruises. Autism on the seas is an example of a specific company that can assist with caring on a cruise-but there are many of them, including ones that provide care for physical disabilities/illness as well as intellectual/mental disabilities/illness. I went with family on my Queensland cruise, so I was ok, but next time if family are unable to come, I would need a carer. If you qualify, our national disability insurance scheme (NDIS) in Australia can provide the care people needed for the duration of a cruise (through specific companies that provide care on cruises) if you need carers to be able to go on holiday. My cruise went so well, that my doctors are contemplating letting me go on a South Pacific cruise, which would be practically impossible if not going on a cruise ship because the medical system in South Pacific islands/countries are practically non existent. As I said at the start, cruising isn’t for everyone, but I do think everyone regardless of your disability/illness needs to have a holiday from time to time (it had been 10 years since I had been on holiday when I went on the cruise last June)-so I hope there is some way that is suitable for you to get a bit of a break/holiday!
I’ve dealt with acne my whole life. I’m 39 and STILL get it. The worst is now I have pimples AND crow’s feet around my eyes! My combo skin is annoying since parts are dry and parts are greasy. Ugh! But honestly, you are beautiful, inside and out! The acne can never take that away. Your smile is bright and happy and that it what I always notice about you first.
You can use terracortril eyesalve instead of burning the granulation tissue. It’s painless and works just as well. It just needs to be applied every day for a week and the result is the same. I use it all the time as a nurse on wounds and drains.
Your energy levels seem so much better! It's so good to see your health improving. I know it's been tough having to change plans with school and your treatment plan, but I hope you are feeling well enough that it's all been worth it!
My stomach is always tender due to the Lupus, Sjogrens, Gastroparesis, and IBS. The most comfortable clothes Ive found are high waisted joggers at Costco for $15.00 usd, their tank tops with built in bra 2 for $10 USD and super comfortable leggings 2 for $12 usd. Now with the chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, this is really all I wear, that and comfortable hoodie or cardigan. My nurses have thanked me for wearing clothing that makes easy to access my power port. As for your skin, TPN can throw your skin's health off for awhile. As can chemo, so Im using St Ives all natural facial scrub, facial cleanser, and Olay 7 effects lotion with suncreen. It has definitely cleared my skin, and it seems healthier.
For my skin, (dry, itchy, full of black head and all), I use argile. Not the super fancy one you buy in beauty shop. The boring one you just mix with water. It is just a powder with nothing else in it. It doesn't make miracles, but I use it once a week (mix powder with water ton have a not to runny mixture, put it on my face and wait until it is to dry to be confortable) and it helps. Also, it is not very expensive, so that a good thing. Not forcing you to try, of course ^^
Just having worked in a food packaging plant, I worked in the lab, I will tell you that yes, name brand is better quality. When it comes to any veggies, frozen, raw or canned, name brand is grade A quality and then as the quality of the product drops the grade drops as well and that is what is put into off brand or store brand packaging/labeling. There are times when an order needs filled for an off or store brand and the plant only has grade A product available which is why you can buy a store brand and it tastes great one time but the next time you buy it you notice the quality and taste isn't as good. This actually happens more often than you think so it's not too far in between that the higher grade product is packaged into the off label brands. This usually is more common during the part of the harvest season where product is at perfect ripeness and happens less often towards the end of the season when things start to rot and harvest is last ditch effort to save what you can basically before it's not edible. I still work in agriculture but work in the pest/fungi/ weed control end of things now. Also, those buying organic thinking they are eating healthier food and less chemicals please keep in mind that, my job is to mix the chemicals used to control the abuse issues in crops, the ppe I have to wear in order to mix the chemicals that are applied to organic crops is literally 3 times the amount of equipment I have to wear to mix the chemicals we use for regular crops. Ie chemicals used on organic cross are more caustic and poisonous to those handling them. Good news for all though, none of the chemicals used actually stays active past 24-48hrs max dependant upon the chemical used and does not infiltrate the food, not even herbicides. Like in potatoes, herbicides are used to kill the tops which if left on the potatoes is actual poisonous to humans and if harvested with the tops still intact can cause illness. So the tops are killed and the fields are kept empty for 48 hours then the people who harvest the potatoes can safely enter the fields and the potatoes do not have chemicals in them and it they do have any small amount (say the person mixing did not do so correctly and did not measure correctly) the chemical itself is inert/neutralized which means it can no longer cause illness or irritation to anyone.
I had to have TPN a couple of years ago and I hated the smell! Reminded me of a really sweet bubble gum smell, but it was in my hair and felt like it was coming out my pores...couldn't wait to be done!
I know how you feel about the skin. It took me so long to take care of mine. But with all the other hard things that you work through every day, you'll find something that works that's good for you and your health. Don't get discouraged! You're still absolutely beautiful and very strong. Acne is tough but you're wayyy tougher girl!
Im just so happy that you have Tom, he's hilarious and you guys are so perfect. The way you compliment each other. You're amazing Amy. So inspirational!
Don't be embarrassed. Plenty and I mean plenty of people suffer with spots. I never used to be that spotty and then my hormones went crazy and I got really bad achne and I was super embarrassed too but in reality there is nothing you can do. I tried everything but one thing that helped was an antibiotic zinc ointment that the doctor prescribed me so see if you can get that.
Do not feel bad about your skin, you look so good. The TPN is doing exactly what it is suppose to do. Your skin will level out and clear up. Love the outfit it is cute and looks good on you. Congratulations to Tom on getting his temporary visa, that is awesome.
I completely understand your insecurity! I wish I could attach images of my skin but my goodness there were times that I didn’t want to go outside without makeup because my skin was so terrible. Acne can definitely take down your confidence for sure. You’re not alone
Amy you're a beautiful young woman with some serious health issues. Your skin is not something you can control and we all know that. Just be you because you are enough.
Totally relate to the bloating.... I eat and then look 7 months pregnant 🤰 oh my. Love your outfit!!!! You are so strong! I wish I could be. Bunch of crap 💩 wrong with me, and I want to check into children’s hospital because I’m a huge baby! Lol you are brave, strong and absolutely beautiful!
Personally I prefer your vlog channel more, but I still do watch all of your videos no matter what channel they appear on. Also, banana bread is soooo delicious!!! The faces you make at the camera crack me up and jammin’ our to Spice Girls is certainly a throwback. I myself was listening to N Sync last night. Congratulations to Tom on his visa!!!
Hi Amy I also have a Hickman line in and you said you struggle to shower I live in the UK and I get prescribed waterproof covers so that I can shower and go swimming .. the company I get them from is Independent product's I don't think they would ship to Australia but you should have a look into it and I would be happy to ship you some as I have so many unopened boxes and they all come in a sterile individual packet .. jst let me know x
If you Google independence direct or you can call 08001601399 , calling is a lot easier all you do is request the wound protection pouch for hickman lines they will ask for your GP and they will more than likely send you samples for you to test and then you can order boxes of 10 after that.
Oh my goodness! I haven’t seen your vlogs for a couple weeks and it’s so lovely to see you looking so well! You’re a beautiful woman so no hiding! 💖Congrats on all the positive changes, and hope this year brings you better health and happiness xxx
Love you Amy. Miss you so, so much girl, come with Ellie, Tom and your mum to see us in your home city of Manchester, United Kingdom we miss you guys so much. Your beautiful no matter what Amy. Ive seen you looking worse hunny, but I'm glad your happy and enjoying life back in Australia.
I woke up from a horrible dream, plus I’m nervous about surgery later today. Watching your vlog is keeping me from totally losing it. Thank you for sharing your life with us
You guys are going to be the best of parents especially you Ami! Also you look beautiful no matter the condition of your skin I get breakouts sometimes and get self conscious but it doesn't matter what people think so please dont let little things like that make you feel uneasy and I've noticed when you get uncomfortable you laugh I'm the same way!
try some maternity pants! They are high waisted and have a soft stretchy panel over the tummy, which in your case could allow for your expanding and contracting bloat.
please don’t be insecure about your skin, you’re gorgeous! I know how much your skin can effect confidence though and when i was suffering with a breakout, i ordered some products from the brand ‘The Ordinary’, miracle products and wondered whether you may find it useful. Hope you are well lovely xxx
Mary Beth here again,Any I'm so happy for you and Tom your so perfect for each other!!!!!Please don't worry about your skin it's probably from a medication but I'm a retired make up artist and would love to make suggestions for you in planning on writing to you as soon as I get my strength back and tomorrow I'm going for my infussion called recast for my bones not looking forward to side effects bad aches and pains for me till next time muxh love to you both MB
Please don't be ashamed of your skin. What matters is that you have a beautiful spirit. Young girls look up to you, so be careful about putting yourself down online. You are beautiful no matter what!
You are amazing, I love your vlogs and I think you are brave for putting your life out on youtube - you inspire me so much, I can't begin to imagine what its like to be you xoxo
i can relate to a lot of things you mentioned in the video even though i don't have any illness, I still love your videos by the way! when you mentioned that it takes guts to show yourself to social media. I 100% understand, I also understand how having insecurities effects how you want to act on social media. Everyone has insecurities, but you should never be afraid to still be yourself no matter what you think people will think of you.
I’m so happy to see you are so happy ..... you don’t let anything get you down..... your such an inspiration so live life as happy as you can..... your so funny I love watching your channel
Awww Amy your Beautiful!! Never feel bad about your skin. I have skin issues sometimes.. Eczema and in a flare it gets bad. What product I use is the IT CC Full Coverage Foundation.. It's amazing and it works really good. It's about 40.00 dollars a tube here in the US at ULTA. Also I use Mac Concealer they have new one. It's like a photo finish one. 22.00 at ULTA.. I'm a person with 2 incurable diseases. AA and IH. I'm always looking forward to both video channels. Thank you for sharing.💙 Lisa
I am sorry if this is long winded. I believe that my son has EDS. He is 19 and symptoms have been progressing quickly in the last 3 years, and had never put all of the symptoms together before. He has been hospitalized 3 times this year for "Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome ". His gastric empty study was irregular and gastrointestinal dr doesn't know what to make of results because he had more in his stomach in 4th scan than 3rd. He has been diagnosed hypermobile when he was 14. He has always had joint pain but we didn't know to what extent. So if you have got any advice? Just sort of at my wits end. You seem so positive and sweet so thank you for your videos. Love from Canada
Hi Amy! Congrats to you and Tom on his visa and happy birthday to your mom! I just wanted to reassure you about your skin. Seriously, you are absolutely beautiful and your soul is even more so. I watch you because you are strong and brave, not because you have perfect skin 100% of the time. I hope you can work past that insecurity because I know I personally love you just the same and I’m sure I can vouch for others!
Omg i have started wearing the same pants lol so tired of being bloated all the time 😪🥴😵🥺 my skin looks like shit a lot too recently its been better. I found out toothpaste left on the breakouts, blisters and even rashes for about 10 min ish or longer then rinse it off and pat dry and the next day it looks so much better and keep doing that until it's gone. I know it sounds strange so did I when I heard about it but I was to the point I'm like I've got no reason not to try it I've tried everything else.
Hi I have two chronic illnesses and which are chronic fibromyalgia and chronic Regional Pain Disorder! Which cause my bones and stomach to burn from the inside and out! Im like you I have to watch what I eat or I'm sick! I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, there are days when i exhausted and can't get out of bed! I have 24 hour care. I have bladder problems which i have to wear pads!.xx
Ya, thought the proposal was going to happen but congrats, Tom, for your partner visa and Amy you are cute as a button! My daughters and I love watching your vids and I love them to watch you because you have such high esteem and self confidence for young followers. Thank you 😊
Last time i watched one of your vlogs was a few months ago and you look so much better and happier and healthier Amy! I’m so glad things are working out :)
Do you have a p.o. box? I'd like to send you the big boxes of goldfish we have here. .99 is too much for those little bags when I can send you several flavors in the big boxes.
You're beautiful and strong no matter acne or not. Also, I think you'd be great parents. I was adopted and I can tell you a child would be blessed to have y'all. An infant may be a lot on you, but have you thought about an older child?
I know!!! I seen. 😥 So, I'd just recently started keeping up with her and catching up. I know her illnesses she had, but what did she ultimately pass from.
Actually for things like canned and frozen foods, yes, it absolutely does matter. I worked in the lab at the cannery and what they do is everything is graded by quality and there's different criteria for each product. The grade A (best) foods get the name brand labels, note each company pays a certain amount to have a certain grade, then grade B are your store brands and the C grade goes into things that go to the dollar store or canned food stores. However, there are times when the factory needs to fill an order of a store brand or dollar brand and there isn't any lower grade product available at that point so then they have to fill that order with the grade A (best quality) product so that's why sometimes you will buy an off or store brand and think it tastes and looks amazing then the next time you buy it you thing wtf. Lol
Can I just say how I absolutely love how amazing you are you’re so positive! Your skin looks better on a bad day then mine ever does on a good day! Lol you’re absolutely stunning!!
You look so much healthier, the TPN is doing wonders for you!... I prefer your vlogs... Give your skin a break from makeup, I never use foundation because it gives me spots. You are pretty enough to go without foundation, and your spots should clear up quickly. It just needs some "breathing" time.
Congratulations Tom how exciting. I prefer your Vlog channel as it shows your everyday life as well as medical.Just curious can you run your TPN and feed at the same time?
To answer your question, I like your vlog channel more, only because I get to watch more videos of you and see more of your daily life. But I’m subscribed to both and love all your content!
I have highwaisted joggers from Rue 21 out here in Utah. Love them! No pockets though 😒 Always sending my love and wishing you the best! And btw, I am a cool hip mom!👌😉
My daughter needs to get her granulation tissue burned too, she’s had it done once before we now have to put dressing around her PEG to prevent it from happening. I always watch your videos with her.
You should never hide your spots EVERYONE gets spots you are beautiful the way you are and honestly I think your amazing the day to day life you go threw when I just sit at home n do nothing while your doing all your meds to keep you alive and I honestly think u deserve a medal your a strong amazing women p.s happy birthday to your mum🥰
I have diabetes and tummy issues so I love getting smoothies I go to a smoothie king and get a strawberry extreme smoothie with frozen yogurt. It's so easy on my tummy and there is a smoothie king like 15 minutes from where we are at. Hood luck girl your amazing.
Amazon might have goldfish. I live in the USA and I love goldfish. The other flavors I dont like lol. Your mcdonnalds has slushies and your food looks way better also!
I like your vlog channel simply because it's relatable to me as someone else with chronic illness. That isn't to say I don't watch your main channel too!
Your beautiful Amy don’t feel self conscious your rocking your looks I love your fashion sense, love them joggers😍 yayyy for Tom that’s fab !! And I love both your main channel and your vlog. Xxxxxx
You are Gods master piece "You are beautiful for you are fearfully and wonderfully made" Psalm 139:14 You are beautiful regardless acne. The beauty is measured from the inside Amy. " Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant, or insecure , remember to whom you belong " EPHESIANS2:19-22 God bless you beautiful! 😊😇❤
Who's here even after she passed? you are so missed beautiful. You still are such an inspiration angel 💞
You are beautiful regardless of acne spots. All of us girls deal with it and yes, it's annoying. Just remember your beautiful. 💜
freaking agree 100% :)
From the thumbnail I thought you two were getting married
congrats to Tom
Philip Labrie Glad I’m not the only one who thought 💍
I though amy was pregnant 😂
@@teesmith3460 thought that too! :'D
I thought she was pregnant.
@@teesmith3460 That wouldn't be good news
So happy about the Tom's visa! Must be a huge relief!
I prefer your vlogs, they show more of the reality and daily life.
U should look into cruises for holidays!! I’m disabled and went on my first cruise last June-got to see tropical Queensland-there is a hospital on board, so medical assistance whenever you need it-you also get onboard, get unpacked, and that’s it until the end of the cruise-no transfers/plane trips/hotel changes/etc.!! There are cruises practically that go everywhere!! I’m planning to go to New Zealand on my next cruise!! Highly recommend for people with health issues/disabilities!

I never used to be that spotty and then my hormones went crazy and I got really bad achne and I was super embarrassed too but in reality there is nothing you can do. I tried everything but one thing that helped was an antibiotic zinc ointment that the doctor prescribed me so see if you can get that.
Do not feel bad about your skin, you look so good. The TPN is doing exactly what it is suppose to do. Your skin will level out and clear up. Love the outfit it is cute and looks good on you. Congratulations to Tom on getting his temporary visa, that is awesome.
I completely understand your insecurity! I wish I could attach images of my skin but my goodness there were times that I didn’t want to go outside without makeup because my skin was so terrible. Acne can definitely take down your confidence for sure. You’re not alone
I live in the US. Here they have like over 30varieties of GoldFish in their on section 😂 it’s a classic here❤️
Amy you're a beautiful young woman with some serious health issues. Your skin is not something you can control and we all know that. Just be you because you are enough.
Totally relate to the bloating.... I eat and then look 7 months pregnant 🤰 oh my. Love your outfit!!!! You are so strong! I wish I could be. Bunch of crap 💩 wrong with me, and I want to check into children’s hospital because I’m a huge baby! Lol you are brave, strong and absolutely beautiful!
Personally I prefer your vlog channel more, but I still do watch all of your videos no matter what channel they appear on. Also, banana bread is soooo delicious!!! The faces you make at the camera crack me up and jammin’ our to Spice Girls is certainly a throwback. I myself was listening to N Sync last night. Congratulations to Tom on his visa!!!
Hi Amy I also have a Hickman line in and you said you struggle to shower I live in the UK and I get prescribed waterproof covers so that I can shower and go swimming .. the company I get them from is Independent product's I don't think they would ship to Australia but you should have a look into it and I would be happy to ship you some as I have so many unopened boxes and they all come in a sterile individual packet .. jst let me know x
Asia Taggart could you tell me the name of the waterproof covers please?
Hiya what are they called? I live in the UK and never heard of them? I have a hickman line and struggle with showering.xx
If you Google independence direct or you can call 08001601399 , calling is a lot easier all you do is request the wound protection pouch for hickman lines they will ask for your GP and they will more than likely send you samples for you to test and then you can order boxes of 10 after that.
@@asiataggart3394 that' great thank.you xx
Good news guys! Now you can travel all over. Amy take it easy with your condition, okay? Blessings to you both.
Amy, with all that you go through we can ride through, with you, during the skin issues. You rock lady. 🥰
Yes! Come to New Zealand! I would b happy to have you guys stay with me!
Oh my goodness! I haven’t seen your vlogs for a couple weeks and it’s so lovely to see you looking so well! You’re a beautiful woman so no hiding! 💖Congrats on all the positive changes, and hope this year brings you better health and happiness xxx
Seriously, you'd make a great mom to any child.
Congrats for getting married. Wish you all the best! Best wishes for your future from Canada
You didn't watch the video did you?
Tom is a lucky man. And you look fine, just a bit finer some days than others. Good Luck and God bless you both
Love you Amy. Miss you so, so much girl, come with Ellie, Tom and your mum to see us in your home city of Manchester, United Kingdom we miss you guys so much. Your beautiful no matter what Amy. Ive seen you looking worse hunny, but I'm glad your happy and enjoying life back in Australia.
I woke up from a horrible dream, plus I’m nervous about surgery later today. Watching your vlog is keeping me from totally losing it. Thank you for sharing your life with us
Kim Daniels good luck with surgery! ❤️
Congrats Tom!
Hope you had a good time at the Wildcats. The atmosphere in the stadium was so good last night but disappointing that we lost..
You guys are going to be the best of parents especially you Ami! Also you look beautiful no matter the condition of your skin I get breakouts sometimes and get self conscious but it doesn't matter what people think so please dont let little things like that make you feel uneasy and I've noticed when you get uncomfortable you laugh I'm the same way!
Congratulations Tom for getting your VISA!!!! That is such amazing news!!!
try some maternity pants! They are high waisted and have a soft stretchy panel over the tummy, which in your case could allow for your expanding and contracting bloat.
A good tip, use really over ripe bananas, makes the bread tastes even more amazing! 💕
please don’t be insecure about your skin, you’re gorgeous! I know how much your skin can effect confidence though and when i was suffering with a breakout, i ordered some products from the brand ‘The Ordinary’, miracle products and wondered whether you may find it useful. Hope you are well lovely xxx
Mary Beth here again,Any I'm so happy for you and Tom your so perfect for each other!!!!!Please don't worry about your skin it's probably from a medication but I'm a retired make up artist and would love to make suggestions for you in planning on writing to you as soon as I get my strength back and tomorrow I'm going for my infussion called recast for my bones not looking forward to side effects bad aches and pains for me till next time muxh love to you both MB
Please don't be ashamed of your skin. What matters is that you have a beautiful spirit. Young girls look up to you, so be careful about putting yourself down online. You are beautiful no matter what!
Congrats!!!! Your a beautiful person because you are real and honest, not because of your skin.
You are amazing, I love your vlogs and I think you are brave for putting your life out on youtube - you inspire me so much, I can't begin to imagine what its like to be you xoxo
Congrats Tom!!
i can relate to a lot of things you mentioned in the video even though i don't have any illness, I still love your videos by the way! when you mentioned that it takes guts to show yourself to social media. I 100% understand, I also understand how having insecurities effects how you want to act on social media. Everyone has insecurities, but you should never be afraid to still be yourself no matter what you think people will think of you.
Congratulations to Tom! That’s such awesome news!!
I’m so happy to see you are so happy ..... you don’t let anything get you down..... your such an inspiration so live life as happy as you can..... your so funny I love watching your channel
Literally my favorite person on RUclips! You look great girl! You're so positive and happy all the time. Such an inspiration!
Try the cheddar blast goldfish if u can find them....so yummy! U look so good and healthy
Awww Amy your Beautiful!! Never feel bad about your skin. I have skin issues sometimes.. Eczema and in a flare it gets bad. What product I use is the IT CC Full Coverage Foundation.. It's amazing and it works really good. It's about 40.00 dollars a tube here in the US at ULTA. Also I use Mac Concealer they have new one. It's like a photo finish one. 22.00 at ULTA.. I'm a person with 2 incurable diseases. AA and IH. I'm always looking forward to both video channels. Thank you for sharing.💙 Lisa
You’ll be a great mum. I have four even with medical problems
Girl i wake up tired and I too hate to shower because its exhausting . Lol but I dont have ccx all the issues you have. I'm binge watching your life
I live in New Zealand and have chronic pain as well. You will love it here
we would be happy to show you some of NZ if you ever want to come over
I am sorry if this is long winded. I believe that my son has EDS. He is 19 and symptoms have been progressing quickly in the last 3 years, and had never put all of the symptoms together before. He has been hospitalized 3 times this year for "Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome ". His gastric empty study was irregular and gastrointestinal dr doesn't know what to make of results because he had more in his stomach in 4th scan than 3rd. He has been diagnosed hypermobile when he was 14. He has always had joint pain but we didn't know to what extent. So if you have got any advice? Just sort of at my wits end. You seem so positive and sweet so thank you for your videos. Love from Canada
No need to hide girl. You are beautiful inside and out. 😁You would rock as a mom!
Hi Amy! Congrats to you and Tom on his visa and happy birthday to your mom! I just wanted to reassure you about your skin. Seriously, you are absolutely beautiful and your soul is even more so. I watch you because you are strong and brave, not because you have perfect skin 100% of the time. I hope you can work past that insecurity because I know I personally love you just the same and I’m sure I can vouch for others!
I have never clicked so quick to see the news!!!
Omg i have started wearing the same pants lol so tired of being bloated all the time 😪🥴😵🥺 my skin looks like shit a lot too recently its been better. I found out toothpaste left on the breakouts, blisters and even rashes for about 10 min ish or longer then rinse it off and pat dry and the next day it looks so much better and keep doing that until it's gone. I know it sounds strange so did I when I heard about it but I was to the point I'm like I've got no reason not to try it I've tried everything else.
Do not worry about your skin too much girl you look pretty regardless. And it looks 10000000% worse on your head!!!
Banana bread looks amazing! And I think it's so sweet how appreciative you are of your mom. ❤
Don't ever be embarrassed about your skin. Major congratulations on Tom getting the partner visa.
Hi I have two chronic illnesses and which are chronic fibromyalgia and chronic Regional Pain Disorder! Which cause my bones and stomach to burn from the inside and out! Im like you I have to watch what I eat or I'm sick! I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, there are days when i exhausted and can't get out of bed! I have 24 hour care. I have bladder problems which i have to wear pads!.xx
Ya, thought the proposal was going to happen but congrats, Tom, for your partner visa and Amy you are cute as a button! My daughters and I love watching your vids and I love them to watch you because you have such high esteem and self confidence for young followers. Thank you 😊
Last time i watched one of your vlogs was a few months ago and you look so much better and happier and healthier Amy! I’m so glad things are working out :)
Do you have a p.o. box? I'd like to send you the big boxes of goldfish we have here. .99 is too much for those little bags when I can send you several flavors in the big boxes.
Look at the description Box (Hope that is good enough to understand)
Aww that’s so sweet! Yes I Have a PO Box it’s in the description of my videos 🥰❤️❤️
Oh ok! Lol! Should have looked there first. Will go shopping this weekend!
@@amyslife4457 I bought you 6 different kinds today and going to look for more tomorrow. Will mail them out on Monday.
saehtex1 that’s so lovely. Woah 😂😍
Your personality is what I look at in your videos. I do understand you feeling embarrassed though. But you are just so beautiful. Inside and out.
I hope Tom is OK! Wonder if he still is in australia. ❤️
You're beautiful and strong no matter acne or not. Also, I think you'd be great parents. I was adopted and I can tell you a child would be blessed to have y'all. An infant may be a lot on you, but have you thought about an older child?
she died 01.04.
I know!!! I seen. 😥
So, I'd just recently started keeping up with her and catching up. I know her illnesses she had, but what did she ultimately pass from.
@@danetteduprey-hunter2593 I think, heart failure? She had: heart failure and a pulmonary embolism. I'm crushed. :(
Actually for things like canned and frozen foods, yes, it absolutely does matter. I worked in the lab at the cannery and what they do is everything is graded by quality and there's different criteria for each product. The grade A (best) foods get the name brand labels, note each company pays a certain amount to have a certain grade, then grade B are your store brands and the C grade goes into things that go to the dollar store or canned food stores. However, there are times when the factory needs to fill an order of a store brand or dollar brand and there isn't any lower grade product available at that point so then they have to fill that order with the grade A (best quality) product so that's why sometimes you will buy an off or store brand and think it tastes and looks amazing then the next time you buy it you thing wtf. Lol
you are such an amazing and beautifull human!!! your resilience is such an inspiration!!!! dont ever give up !!!!!!
Can I just say how I absolutely love how amazing you are you’re so positive! Your skin looks better on a bad day then mine ever does on a good day! Lol you’re absolutely stunning!!
Harri's favourite is the blueberry and lime, i much prefer the raspberry one 😀 And yay for Tom getting his visa!!
I live in nz! It’s pretty awesome here.
Dont be embarrassed you are so beautiful no matter what. Love you girl! Hugs
You look so much healthier, the TPN is doing wonders for you!... I prefer your vlogs... Give your skin a break from makeup, I never use foundation because it gives me spots. You are pretty enough to go without foundation, and your spots should clear up quickly. It just needs some "breathing" time.
Have you tried vitamin c and / or tea tree skincare? Both are great in healing and preventing acne
GGGGGIIIIRRRRLLLL its adult acne. I'm going through the same thing and I'm 31!
Congratulations Tom how exciting. I prefer your Vlog channel as it shows your everyday life as well as medical.Just curious can you run your TPN and feed at the same time?
To answer your question, I like your vlog channel more, only because I get to watch more videos of you and see more of your daily life. But I’m subscribed to both and love all your content!
I have highwaisted joggers from Rue 21 out here in Utah. Love them! No pockets though 😒 Always sending my love and wishing you the best! And btw, I am a cool hip mom!👌😉
The s'mores goldfish are also amazing and you are so beautiful and congrats to Tom.
My daughter needs to get her granulation tissue burned too, she’s had it done once before we now have to put dressing around her PEG to prevent it from happening. I always watch your videos with her.
You should never hide your spots EVERYONE gets spots you are beautiful the way you are and honestly I think your amazing the day to day life you go threw when I just sit at home n do nothing while your doing all your meds to keep you alive and I honestly think u deserve a medal your a strong amazing women p.s happy birthday to your mum🥰
i have a question. why do you sometimes have feeding tube and others it goes in through your port of whatever it’s called again?
I have diabetes and tummy issues so I love getting smoothies I go to a smoothie king and get a strawberry extreme smoothie with frozen yogurt. It's so easy on my tummy and there is a smoothie king like 15 minutes from where we are at. Hood luck girl your amazing.
You're beautiful! Screw anyone who tells you anything different!
Vlog channel FTW (> regular channel)
Ya for tom so glad for you and him. One more thing you are a very beautiful just own it sweetie.
I'm so happy for yall! Congratulations! That's awesome news!
Congrats Tom and Amy!! You two are just the cutest!
Amazon might have goldfish. I live in the USA and I love goldfish. The other flavors I dont like lol.
Your mcdonnalds has slushies and your food looks way better also!
I like your vlog channel simply because it's relatable to me as someone else with chronic illness. That isn't to say I don't watch your main channel too!
Your beautiful Amy don’t feel self conscious your rocking your looks I love your fashion sense, love them joggers😍 yayyy for Tom that’s fab !! And I love both your main channel and your vlog. Xxxxxx
You are Gods master piece
"You are beautiful for you are fearfully and wonderfully made"
Psalm 139:14
You are beautiful regardless acne. The beauty is measured from the inside Amy.
" Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant, or insecure , remember to whom you belong "
EPHESIANS2:19-22
God bless you beautiful!
😊😇❤
Have you ever tried tasting your feed mix? If so, what does it taste like? Xx
I’m soo surprised that you don’t have goldfish a lot! Those are like American childhood. The pretzel ones arent the best. They make so many flavors!
