ampuTeez

I know, I know, it’s been awhile, but this message is too important not to post.

For many years of my life I had convinced myself that I wouldn’t be fortunate enough to get married because of my disability. People have their preferences (tall, red head, muscular, etc.), but never disabled (aside from those with strange fetishes, but let’s not go there!). In my mind, I was at a major disadvantage.

It wasn’t until I got comfortable and confident in my own “skin” that I realized I was most certainly worthy of finding someone who wanted to share their life with me. Not only that, but I actually had a major advantage; my disability allowed me to w**d out the frogs and find someone with a huge heart and wow, did I get lucky.

So for those of you who may have had similar thoughts, just know that it starts with you. Accept yourself, appreciate your differences and the leg up it actually gives you (had to throw in a leg pun). Confidence is so attractive and sexy, watch what it will do for you.

It made me whole. ❤️💍👰🏼‍♀️

Saying goodbye! I launched ampuTeez to overcome my battle with body image issues and help others do the same. I wanted to post myself on social media for the first time with my prosthetic exposed, celebrate individuals with difference, increase awareness and be an inspiration for others.

Nearly 4 years later I can say I have accomplished what I set out to do. My insecurities of being an amputee are behind me, I’ve received countless messages of gratitude from others with differences, I’ve grown my amputee family and had a blast along the way. I’ve met and am now engaged to an amazing man who I may have never had the courage to tell about my leg if it wasn’t for ampuTeez.

With all of this, ampuTeez will no longer have an online presence at the beginning of 2020 as it is time to close this chapter and start new ones. That means, it’s your last chance to purchase remaining inventory at a deep discount (everything $10 or less!). I appreciate all of the customers, followers and fans I’ve gained along the way.

Have you seen?!! I can’t even imagine what it would have felt like to have a Barbie as a little girl with one leg just like me! Major shoutout and many thanks to Barbie for recognizing those of us with differences, I feel the ❤️
