Another truth: yes the hems of my lovely nightgowns and robes do sometimes get rather dirty and bedraggled from wearing them outside, but its fine… a little soak in an enzyme cleaner (like @BIZ | Stain & Odor Remover) and they always come clean. #affirmations #tulips #flowers #hardtimes #nanalovesyou

Full disclosure: my “morning routine” isn’t actually a routine. My lovely pegnoir set is from Eileen West designs, and the cozy sweater-y shawl-y sort of thing is from April Cornell. #morning #morningcoffee #morningroutine #morningroutineaesthetic #vintageliving #catsoftiktok #nanalovesyou

Wishing i could be a better stronger person has never made me better… or stronger. Kindness and self acceptance helps me make the most of my personality and character in spite of my many flaws and imperfections. I hope you’re learning to be kinder to yourself my dear one… its the only answer. Also, im kind of mortified that my slip was showing so dreadfully, but alas, I didn’t notice until after i was done filming. 🤭 My dress and White House fit are from @Rose’s Wardrobe #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #vintage #whitehouse #pincurls #selfacceptance #healing #nanalovesyou

HT to Myquillin Smith aka the Nester for first saying, “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.” #vintage #vintagehair #vintageliving #nanalovesyou

We had such a magical time at Genesee Country Village @Genesee Country Village & Mus this weekend! Noah’s @thecommendablecommodore6 dear friend Naomi @Naomi was invited to view their private garment collection and we were allowed to tag along. Oh, be still my heart! Paige @Paige Engard was a wonderful hostess as always. Brandon is an incredible educator with the dancin-est hands I’ve ever seen. And Peter braved the snow to show us inside some of the historic buildings. Every moment was pure joy. #livinghistory #19thcentury #friends #family #beyourself #weirdo #nanalovesyou

I cant tell you how many times over the years, I’ve filled a cart full of @Memeryshoes only to second guess myself at check out. A couple of weeks ago i finally made an order; last week I received the most beautiful comfy reproduction shoes ive ever seen… and surprisingly i dont feel even the teensiest bit guilty. 🤭 In case you’re wondering, this is NOT an ad! 😅 #vintageshoes #vintageliving #vintagefashion #SelfCare #selfindulgence #momlife #nanalovesyou

Hair loss update! About a year ago I started losing my hair, mostly from a blood pressure medication I was on at the time, but also from some very poor hair care choices… PRO TIP KIDS: do not use straight vinegar as a hair setting lotion, no matter who tells you to. Sheesh! We (me and my hair!) appear to be on the recovery journey these days, and although I can’t definitively attribute that to any one thing, I can tell you what I’ve been using. I’ve been taking 1000mg of biotin, along with a slosh of @MaryRuth's Liquid Morning Vitamin and Hair Growth every day. I’ve been using Minoxidil shampoos and an oil containing Rosemary and argan oils. Finally, I’ve been using a prescription medication by @Happy Head, which has been marvelous for me in a variety of ways… oddly enough, it seems to help with my ADHD? Whodathunk that?? If you’ve had any hair growth success with any products or strategies won’t you please share them in your comments below? #Hairloss #hairgrowth #loss #anxiety #joy#joype #nanalovesyou

My most embarrassing moment! Can you top this one? 🤭 I posted this ages ago, in my early days and I’ve almost deleted it a bazillion times. However, ive gotten a thicker skin over the years and thought id entertain you with this story one more time. #embarrassing #church #churchtrauma #deconstruction #breastfeeding #lalecheleague #motherhood #nanalovesyou

Replying to @Barb71 and the others asking about the baby, because I couldn’t possibly carry a baby and a dish at the same time. 🤭 Fun fact: i also had a diaper bag, a Bible case, and was wrangling a toddler at the time! #nanalovesyou

Lets just let people live their own lives and have their own joy… kay? Kay! #transwomenarewomen #protecttranskids #vintagestylenotvintagevalues #shaving #nanalovesyou

Us chubby folks have always existed, we’ve always loved fashion, and we’ve always been beautiful! These old Lane Bryant catalogs offer clothing up to a 60” bust, which is a current 6x, or even larger. #bodypositivity #bodyneutrality #plussize #plussizefashion #truevintage #fat @Lane Bryant #nanalovesyou

I am going to the White House today and im simultaneously thrilled and terrified. 😅 im sharing all of the deets snd happs in my insta stories, so come follow along there! (Link is in my profile!) #whitehouse #nanalovesyou

Well now, this has been quite a glorious last 24 hours, hasn’t it? We are so incredibly grateful to each and every one of you, so humbled and so proud of this incredible community… thousands and thousands of you joined together to support a dear woman and her precious family, and you’ve lifted the burden of financial stress off their shoulders. Given dear Kelsey the time and space she needs to heal. Given her dear children time with their mother and helped in their healing as well. There were a few very kind donations in the hundreds of dollars, but the vast majority were small: $5, $10, $25, but oh, how those small donations added up! And do you want to know something else? In this day of internet trolls and snarkiness, there was not one single unkind comment or reaction anywhere on any platform! I’m so proud of all of you, so humbled and so so very grateful that I get to be part of all of you, part of this community. Thank you my darlings. ❤️#nanalovesyou

Thank you to Ali Touhey and WIVB 4 in Buffalo for wanting to interview me about my social media presence and my recent visit to the White House… turns out its a lot of fun to just sit and talk about yourself! 🤭 #interview #nanalovesyou
