Happy New Year! Let’s celebrate with a sale, shall we?

A little update: I finally got Covid for the first time a few months ago, and boy did it get me. It threw a wrench in some of my holiday launches, but that’s ok! Things are slowly getting back to normal here, and I hope to be back to creating new designs and posting more very soon 🖤.

Thank you to everyone who supported my small business last year! It was a hard year for a lot of us, and each and every order meant so much. I hope this new year treats us well!

To thank you for the support, the entire store will be 15% off with code NEWYEAR24 all month long! Enter the code at checkout to save. This will combine with shipping codes as well 🥰.

Happy new year everyone!

Happy New Year! Here’s a quick update on where we’ve been 🖤

A couple of months ago, I got Covid for the first time! It finally got me. And man, it got me. It threw a wrench in some holiday launches, but that’s okay! Things are getting back to normal now after the holidays, and I wanted to come on here and thank everyone for the support of my small business. It means so much, especially when I know it’s been a hard time for many lately.

As a thank you, the entire store will be 15% off all month long if you use code NEWYEAR24 at checkout! It will combine with free shipping as well 🥰.

I hope everyone’s having a decent month so far, and I hope to be back posting and creating new items very soon!

New year, new sweatshirt! For all my fellow homebodies 🖤 This new cozy sweatshirt is for you! Some are homebodies by choice. Some have to stay home due to illness. I’m a bit of both 🙃. I’d probably stay home most of the time even if I were healthy! I wanted to create a sweatshirt that would make staying home feel more cozy, whether you’re home by choice or not 🖤.

👻 I can’t think of anything scarier than being haunted by my ghost uterus 😅. That fear inspired this new spooky uterus design! This is for all who struggle with their uterus, or who have had/are having a hysterectomy. 💛

It’s Gastroparesis Awareness month! There will be an automatic discount at checkout for 10% off all Gastroparesis related designs the rest of the month🖤. That includes But first, Zofran items and feeding tube items!

Gastroparesis is no walk in the park. It’s hard to have others understand that eating is not simple. It’s no longer fun. It’s often surrounded by fear and anxiety and waiting for the inevitable miserable symptoms. This design was created for fellow LOTR fans with Gastroparesis! One does not simply eat 😂

When I tell you I’m in love with this enamel mug, I mean 😍. It’s 12oz and has FREE shipping in the US!

It feels *perfect* for fall (or if you’re like me, and it’s Halloween in your heart all year, then it’s always perfect). Now the weather just needs to change 😅.

Added bonus: The design wraps around the whole thing, so it’s visible no matter which hand you use!

More accessories, both spooky and regular season, will be coming soon! I can’t wait to show you 🖤

✨The Ampersand Collection✨

To be as inclusive as possible, we have made our ampersand collection completely customizable! Each product option can be fully customized for ANY illness with ANY words. Want to list symptoms? Go for it. Want to list meds? You got it. Want to list the items that help you cope? Absolutely. Want a mix? Let’s do it! Anything you can think of that will capture your experience with your illness, we can accommodate (as long as it’s no more than 8-9 lines of text so that it fits on the item).

In order to customize, place your words in the customization box on the listing in the order you’d like them printed! Then, sit back and wait for your very own custom Ampersand design to arrive in the mail 🥰.

The Inspiration Behind Grace & Brace

Life With Chronic Illness is HARD.

Living with a chronic illness is no walk in the park. Being young, you're often not believed. If it's invisible, you're often not believed. In so many circumstances, doctors brush patients off as exaggerating or making it up. This shop is meant to encourage those suffering from any form of chronic illness.

You are validated. You are supported. You are strong.

I designed items that both make me laugh (which, in my opinion, laughter is key to surviving with a chronic illness) as well as empower me and strengthen my faith, and I hope they do the same for you.
