Today I’m spilling the beans on all my favorite hair products over on my blog!! It features products that I am in L O V E with (and no one paid me to brag about them). . When I lost all my hair it was like all my self esteem went with it. How did something I found so trying and frustrating hold so much emotion for me? How many times had I joked about shaving it ALL OFF because I was frustrated?? Then in a blink of an eye it was gone. . As it grew back I hated it. Then I started bleaching it and having it regularly trimmed so that it had good curves and flow. I taught it from the start how I wanted it to lay and part. . The day I purchased my @nexxusnysalon Keraphix shampoo and conditioner I rushed home and was like “Honey, Honey I bought shampoo and conditioner because I finally have hair to wash!!!” It was a great day and I’ve used that same shampoo and conditioner ever since. . If you are just going through chemo or just finished have faith. The hair will come back. My ability to not freak out has come from watching other amazing #breasties like @mycancerchic and @jenhods grow their hair, deal with the silliness in stride and just overall give me faith. . . .

I think it’s part of being a human. Today I wrote a blog post all about my fear...death. . I’ve been told fearing death is silly because everyone dies eventually but I’m sure it’s my lack of control and choice in when it happens that I fear. . While hanging out with my son on Saturday at a local farm I ran into another #breastie who’d just had her mastectomy. We talked a bit about the mental side but mostly just chatted about how silly it is that most women don’t do their own #breastselfexams. I was wearing my “They said I was too young for breast cancer!” Shirt from @shaysharpespinkwishes and it had caught her eye. . I’ve come so far with facing my fear of death head on and yet I still feel so bound to that fear. Now I fear my own mortality less then that of my child, husband, grandparents and parents. . #fullsenegenceface : Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer in Medium, Sand Gloss Shirt : from @shaysharpespinkwishes from donation to her nonprofit Workout leggings from @targetstyle Marty’s wearing @catandjackbytarget top and shorts . . . #coopskisses #coopswholecaboodle #momblogger #momboss #bloggerlife #fears #myworstfear #fearofdeath #bossbabe #pnwlife #firpointfarms #juneinoregon #sunnydays #freshair #runwildmychild #martymonster #momandsonstyle This morning I’m struggling...like full on struggle bus status. I full on do not want to get out of bed but my hubbys go a summer baseball tournament so alas another weekend in bed is not an option. So what’s a mama to do when her vase is cracked and spilling all her energy?? . Well I just do what I can. I make simple finger food snack plates (featuring those amazing cotton candy grapes from @graperygrapes) so that my son can eat in his little tent in his room while playing educational games on his tablet. Then I quietly walk back to my room across the hall and lay back down, listening to his giggles and wild imagination go crazy. . So while I’m not able to go back to sleep I am able to lay down and try to find my inner warrior so that when he is done with his breakfast and independent play (probably any minute from now) I’ll be ready to play. . . . #instagramlab #zomato #livingmybreastlife #livinghisbestlife #cancerfatigue #snackplates #cottoncandygrapes #cocoapuffs #fingerfood #independentplaytime #innerwarrior #coopskisses #momlife #pnwmom #kindlefreetime #learningisfun #swipeleft #selfcare #bossbabe #imtired #momblogger #ourlifestyle #notsponsored Drinking water out of a gallon jug is not really what I’d call classy but it does motivate me and doubles as an arm workout. Watching the water go down and the jug getting lighter keeps me on track in ways a normal sized bottle doesn’t...you see I have post chemo brain so I lose track of my water count when I use normal water bottles but not with a gallon jug!! . Everyone should be drinking at least half their body weight in ounces of water each day to stay healthy and I’m lucky if I get to a quarter of that goal. But no more!! Here’s to my rendition of #thirstythursday play along and race to me a gallon!!! . . . Shirt by @charmingcharlie December birthstone necklace by @kendrascott Color Correcting Tinted Moisturizer in Medium from @senegenceinternational @kangenwatersf is what I’m drinking!!! . . . #racetoagallon #coopskisses #senegencedistributor #lipbiz #morethanlipsense #waterislife #drinkmorewater #flushoutthetoxin #godsdetox #godsnectar #livingmybestlife #livingmybreastlife #bossbabe #momboss #workworkwork #dayjobhustle #sidehustle #makeyouapriority Prior to cancer (I say this a lot but trust me I was a sheltered square guarded naive girl) I would of never ever stripped down to my underwear and had my pictures taken. Mostly because of the stigma of doing so but also because I HATED my body...like a lot. . Body positivity wasn’t a thing we talked about when I was in my teens and twenties and I definitely didn’t partake when it did become a thing. Actually three years prior to these pictures being taken I’d found out people I considered my closest friends were in fact calling me a #duff...don’t know what that is? Well it’s slang for “designated ugly, fat friend” and yes it hurt. Mostly because this is actually what I thought of myself as well...the fat friend. . So how was it that after being pregnant, going through chemo, bald as a queue ball I suddenly decided my body was beautiful enough to do a #boudiorshoot?? Because the moment I made it through my first round of chemo I realized how fucking strong my body was (excuse my language). . I penny pinched and used @groupon to buy a session with @boudoir_cys to get some fun and sexy pictures of me done for my husband before I chopped off my boobs. So in between my 7th and 8th chemo I drove to a swanky hotel and awkwardly posed and laughed through some of the most beautiful and empowering pictures I’ve ever had taken of me. . Now I want to go get new ones done but even more revealing and empowering because I am no longer scared of how others view my body and while their words do hurt they don’t hold power over me!! . . . #coopskisses #lipbiz #senegence #pnwmom #boymom #momboss #bossbabe #breastcancersurvivor #kissproof #sidehustle #triplepositivebreastcancer #pursuepretty #theeverydaygirl #fightlikeagirl #liveglam #cowboysfanforlife #downtomyskivvies #cysboudoir #livingmybestlife #wordshurt Living your best life isn’t always glam or fun. Living your best life sometimes looks like unwashed hair, broken fingernails and no makeup. . But living your best life is so fulfilling and enjoyable that all the other stuff doesn’t even matter. Today I took one step further into living my best life with the launch of episode 1 of my new podcast Coop’s Kisses Confessions!! It’s also day 3 of me listening to my body and giving it some rest because unfortunately as much as I’d love to go 100 mph 24 hours a day it’s just not possible. . . . #livingmybreastlife #livingmybestlife #coopswholecaboodle #coopskisses #podcast #episode1 #momboss #bossbabe #pnwonderland #nomakeup #hairsamess #restrestrest #cancerfatigue #chronicfatigue
