Hi There..... Would you like to learn more about my chronic illness and the new gift box I received?
Did you know that every September is Happy Cat Month? 😍
I am a huge cat lover..... They are so darn cuddly and cute..... It’s actually very hard for me, I cannot keep one at the moment..... Well, it’s a long story actually..... We moved 4 years ago to an apartment due to my chronic illness..... My cartilage is of very poor quality….. As a result, it is breaking down bit by bit all over my body 😟
Momentarily, I already have a hip and knee prosthesis on my right side….. But my left knee is giving me more and more problems every day now too….. Wish I could say that this was my only problem….. The disks in my back spine are slowly degenerating too….. And those of my neck were more than happy to join in on the fun 😜
Ooh no, I still haven’t finished….. My shoulders are becoming more blocked and more painful….. Probably a result of walking on crutches a lot in the last few years….. And then there are my wrists and thumbs pains….. Mostly because of some abnormal bone depositions….. I have those in different places all over my body….. I suppose they also wanted to join in on the fun 😜
Can you imagine that some people envy me….. Just because I am not working anymore 😲
What they don’t see is how many painkillers I have to take in daily…… They get me through an average day….. But there are limits to what my body can do….. And if I cross those limits, I will have to pay for it….. The result is that I have to cope with 2 or 3 days of severe pain….. Sometimes I even can’t straighten my back anymore….. And then I haven’t told you about my muscles yet….. They are fed-up with it and overreact….. Resulting in blockages 😢
You may call me crazy, but I really don’t get what they are jealous of 😵
Great..... Feels good getting that off my chest
Let's get back to more fun things..... Like reviewing..... I think it's fun 😁
There were still 2 things in my Jouwbox left that I haven't told you about..... If you did not see the previous ones..... Here is a link to them

The first one still on my list is the Mudmasky Leave-me-on Autumn mask..... What does their website say about this mask..... It's a gel-based and oil-free ultra calming formula..... It rebalances and rehydrates your skin after a hot summer.....The mask reduces sunspots to a minimum after using daily after 2 till 3 weeks..... Without the use of popular bleaching chemicals like hydroquinone..... Fragrance-free
Sounds pretty cool..... Don't you agree 😉
As the name already suggests you can just put it on and leave it..... Still, I really have to read it twice to believe..... As the French say 'Simple come Bonjour' (translated as simple as saying hello)..... No hassle with rinsing it off afterward..... As I was rubbing it in it became rather sticky for a few seconds but that feeling disappeared..... And now my skin is almost as soft as a baby skin..... Did you know that your skin loses a lot of moisture in the summertime..... Especially in a hot summer like we had this year..... It may seem pretty expensive but you don't need much..... So the tube will last for a long time.....To me, this mask is the perfect solution..... As Maira Kalman said 'I truly believe there's always a solution to every problem 😎
Wat heftig Renata. En ook de reactie van mensen. Ik ben gestopt met werken omdat mijn kinderen Chronisch ziek zijn en men reageerde hier ook met ‘heerlijk hoor’ terwijl ik denk ehh nou. Ook echt katten liefhebbers hier. Ik heb de jongens net verteld dat het deze maand kat maand is. Zij helemaal happy!
ReplyDeleteWat heftig, dat je lijf zo aftakelt. Heel veel sterkte, gelukkig (hopelijk) maken de katten veel goed :)
ReplyDeleteJeetje dat mensen echt jaloers zijn omdat ze dan niet meer zouden hoeven te werken. Wat erg!
ReplyDeleteIk wist niet dat september kattenmaand was maar ik ga dat zeker aan mijn dochter vertellen die dol is op katten.
ReplyDeleteI am both a cat lover and a dog lover. Moreover, I am a true animal lover!
ReplyDeleteI really love animals and cats are always cute to have

ReplyDeleteWat heftig om te lezen zeg! :( En echt bizar dat mensen daar jaloers op kunnen zijn zeg pfff...
ReplyDeleteI'm not a cat lover but I love reading product reviews!
ReplyDeleteAh I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain all the time. I can't imagine what it is like having your body break down slowly (well I guess it happens to all of us really slowly, but no where near as dramatically as what you are experiencing). By the way do you know if the products from your unboxing are vegan and cruelty-free? I'm sure you always check these things as you sound like a big animal lover 💚

ReplyDeleteAside from that... I had no clue September was cat month. That’s so cool. I love cats too. I don’t have any at the moment after my last kitty passed due to cancer about 3 years ago.
I really like that autumn mask. It sounds like it would be great for when we are running heaters and our skin starts drying out a bit.
Sorry to read that you have to manage so much pain, but you still seem to be in great spirits and enjoying products that make you feel happy.
ReplyDeleteI admire your hearty and jovial spirit, it inspires to take my own struggles with a Smile on my face. I know what it feels like to struggle with your health cause I had GBS and it was a lot of pain and struggle.i also live these products, I would definitely check it out.

ReplyDeleteIm gonna celebrate Cat's Month with my 4 fur babies. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIk ben ook dol op mijn katten, wij hebben altijd wel huisdieren gehad. Ik zeg altijd dat ik de hoofdprijs win in een loterij dan wil ik een vrijstaand huisje in het bos met heel veel plek voor mijn huisdieren. Dan adopteer ik nog meer katten maar ook honden. Dieren die nog een warm mandje zoeken, dus uit een asiel of uit het buitenland. Chronische pijn is verschrikkelijk en ook voor mij iedere dag een struggle. Momenteel doet de huisarts en apotheek heel moeilijk over mijn zware pijnstillers die ik al een jaar of 20 slik. Dat ze verslavend zijn weet ik allang maar hoe kom je anders de dag door?
ReplyDeleteGroetjes van iemand die ook zo baalt van die pijn en ook te vaak (=altijd) thuiszit en veel liever leuke dingen zou ondernemen.
dat mensen daar jaloers om kunnen zijn zeg pffff......
ReplyDeleteWat leuk, had geen idee dat het de kattenmaand is! Maar heftig verhaal. Mooi dat je het deelt.
