Homeowner 🔑🥹🏡 I moved around a lot growing up living with various relatives, so I’ve never really had a place to go home to for the holidays or have consistent memories of…moving was always associated with some sort of trauma because they were never happy moves. They weren’t because my family bought a new house or moved cities, it was just me by myself moving around from place to place living with different family members for one reason or another. So being able to purchase my first home all on my own and give Russell the life I always wanted is a dream come true and one of my proudest accomplishments. I’ve never felt more grateful to live in this country and be given the opportunities to make more for myself. It’s never too late to start a new chapter…Here’s to mine 🥂 and if you’ve followed me for a while you know it’s been a longgg time comin’. I couldn’t have done it without you 🫶🏼 #homeowner #homesweethome #newbuild

POV: you’ve just survived severe preeclampsia/ HELLP and delivered your baby prematurely at 31 weeks. You hemorrhaged during the emergency c-section and had to have a partial hysterectomy which lead to acute kidney failure. You’re transferred to the ICU for CRRT dialysis but there is a major complication and the catheter is mistakenly placed in your carotid artery instead of your jugular vein. You go into hemorrhagic shock, acute hypoxic respiratory failure, and acute pulmonary edema amongst other things, while suffering another massive hemorrhage. You wake up on a ventilator in the ICU. Your family is told there is a chance of brain damage but they won’t know until you’ve woken up. Finally, 3 surgeries, 2 massive transfusions, 2 days on a ventilator, 6 liters of blood loss, 20 something pounds of fluid removed and 5 days later, your angel of a nurse orchestrates a visit between dialysis treatments (it’s the 24 hour life support kind so not much time in between)…. And you finally get to hold your baby for the first time. Out of all of those treatments, I believe this is the one that saved my life ❤️. This is my yearly reminder that life is fragile, precious, and not guaranteed. Life definitely isn’t fair, but if I’ve learned anything, It’s that it’s not about the hand you’re dealt, it’s about how you play your cards. In full transparency, it’s not easy to share all of this. I don’t believe it’s innately in us to want to share the most vulnerable parts of our lives with the world. Just ask the thousands of women in my DM’s who have been through some spectrum of trauma. Society doesn’t have much space for unhappy, sad things that didn’t work out how we wanted, so we try extra hard to make it look like they did. Because if not, we feel like we failed. I’m not immune to those feelings, but I’ve also come to the realization that these times, these struggles, can be transformative. Everyone wants to skip to the good part, but the truth is that it’s all a journey. Remember, sometimes those of us who hit the darkest places are the same ones who shine the brightest light - there is strength from struggle…even if you don’t see it right now. ✨🫶🏼 #birthtrauma

GRWM for dinner in the desert 🌵 And yes, I’ve worn this sweater three times in one week I love it that much

2023 was a big one. I bought a house, dropped my first collection of Broken Hearts Club, cut my hair, potty trained a toddler, fell in love, lost a parent to drugs, traveled, designed a jewelry capsule, got divorced (officially), got to work with amazing people and brands….Although there were definitely some lows, I’ll count it as a win ❤️.

Bring your Bubba to work day 🥹 It was a @therealpriceisright set visit four years in the making! He was originally supposed to be a guest with me on the Mother’s Day episode in 2020 but we shut down production the week before due to the pandemic. So happy he finally got to see how mommy gets inside the tv 🫶🏼💕

Who has time to buy presents when there’s a new @vicidolls collection to shop 😍 you NEED this skirt in your closet!! My code AMBERSAVE25 will get you 25% off sitewide all weekend 😘 #vicipartner

One of my favorite things to do since I moved to LA is to visit @thegrovela, they have the best shopping, food and the ambiance is unmatched! It’s absolutely magical during the the holidays and have been bringing Russ every year to see Santa, ride the trolley, look at the huge tree and lights, see it snow, and of course do a little shopping (Nordstrom, Sephora, Charlotte Tilbury, and alo are a few of my faves)! It’s at the top of my list I recommend to anyone who lives here or visiting. They even have the convenience of valet parking if you need it. 10/10 recommend putting it on your list! #ChristmasAtTheGrove #TheGroveLA
