Celebrate Your Mess ©️
By Brittany Quiroz, in partnership with ReLeafpack
"We love to celebrate the victories in life but the messes get far less attention. We hide behind the shame, fear, judgement and disaster. So it’s time to celebrate your mess! Let the disasters show and own it. There is always value in obstacles. Plus we still deserve to look fabulous while we ice down our mess!”
Brittany Quiroz @ahotms
After her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 2019, Brittany Quiroz created “A Hot MS” to help change the perception of what disability looks like. Her diagnosis was an answered prayer for purpose and the catalyst for her calling to help others and impact change.
Quiroz is now a trusted voice in the community of Multiple Sclerosis. Through her advocacy work, speaking, writing, art, music and ability to be transparent about her disease, she hopes to bring love and acceptance to others living with Multiple Sclerosis. Quiroz began ART4aCAUSE to raise funds for those needing to feel confident about their mobility aids. 50% of all proceeds from her art fund this cause.
As a professional singer-songwriter, Quiroz now exclusively writes and performs motivational music dedicated to those living with MS, disabilities and chronic illness; alongside her Co-Writer and Mother Kristen Spath. Their new album will be launching in 2024 with the first single launching this winter where 100% of proceeds will be donated to the MS Society.
Quiroz is a 4 time nominee of the Social Health Awards for her advocacy and was named a finalist in 2023.

This visual embrace of gentle blooms and healing words serves as a reminder that self-care is crucial on our journey.

Shari Tavera @nerdygirlrock
"When people see certain dogs, they think about me, more than likely they think about me when they see dogs that look like Dexter mostly. However, my love for dogs is a lot further than the relationship that I’ve had with Dexter for 12 years. I met Cookie when I was really young and she was a sweetest girl, always trusted and a part of the family for 17 years. I went through a crazy break up at 21 and somehow Boobie ended up on my lap and that sweet girl helped me in my depression. That sweet girl got me out of bed. I was my best friend for four beautiful for 4 beautiful years. Then theres Dexter.. My 12 year old bestie. Throughout my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, Dex was my rock through every flare up or post treatment symptom he was there. Platano is our sweet and vivacious Covid puppy. He’s our ornery fellow but such a love at once. Ayla Rose is our book end baby girl. She made my pittie mama dreams come true.
