Oats n' Bows

welcome to my blog.

Hey girl hey. I'm Michelle, a web marketing student from Texas with a wicked cute boyfriend, a white fluffy cat, and I do freelance social media marketing and design. This blog is a mix of random personals and things that inspire me, such as pretty pictures of food, interior design, fashion, and pretty places. Oh and I crossfit as well :)

I crossfit 4 times a week, I juice, I’m gluten free, I’m nightshade free, I eat clean…

but I STILL crave pizza hut like you wouldn’t believe sometimes. I accept that it’s crappy pizza and that my hometown in New York has a hundred places with better pizza, but you just wan’t crappy sometimes… Damn you leaky gut.

Found a recipie for tomato free marinara sauce and ketchup…

TOO EXCITED TO SLEEEEEEEEEP OH MY GOSH.

PIZZA. AND PASTA WITH SAUCE. AND KETCHUP.

It has been a year since I have had any of the above.

I would do unspeakable things to gain the ability to eat a waffle with cream cheese on it and not get sick right now.

Eff you leaky gut.

I REINTRODUCED BANANAS INTO MY DIET AND I DIDN’T GET SICK!!!

Take that leaky gut!!!

My video about leaky gut/ hashimotos disease, that I made for my production class final.

It discusses the struggles of 2 people (myself and my bothers girlfriend) who are sick, and how 2 people within our lives support us, and interpret our disease (my brother and my boyfriend).

If you watched, that’d be rockin’ :)

And don’t be shy to talk to me about any similar struggles you may be having!!

My video for a final about my leaky gut, and hashimotos disease. Please watch!!

THIS is my birthday cake… the first thing with bread consistency that I’ve had in 6 months! Egg, gluten, potato, soy, rice etc etc free :) made from Almond flour. Don’t take anything for granted folks:P

I really need to step it up and heal my leaky gut as much as possible before Disney World in June..

My favorite part of Disney is eating >_<

I want to clear my allergies of grapes, potatoes, rice and egg whites before I leave. That’s totally wishful thinking but pray for me folks!!!

Any tips leaky gut folks?

In my dreams I can eat anything that I want and I don’t get sick…

Pizza mostly. The most amazing pizza that I’ve ever had. As well as scrambled eggs with hashbrowns, and hot dogs, and pretzels, and brownies, and cookies, and pancakes…

It’s terrible to wake up and realize that this is really just a dream… and that I’ll never be able to do it again in real life without getting sick and making myself worse.

DON’T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED PEOPLE! YOU’LL NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL ALL GET TAKEN AWAY!

I can’t believe how much I used to gripe about being Gluten Free…

I would give anything to JUST be gluten intolerant again. Nevermind the eggs, potatoes, rice, garlic, pineapple, tomato, soy and 30 something other food intolerance that I have now.

DON’T TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
