Beauty Without Boundaries
I used to think you needed full function of your arms and hands to be able do makeup. Then I read an article written by Jordan Bone. Jordan is partially paralyzed after a car accident about 11 years ago. She is unable to move her hands. But has over 180,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel as a beauty blogger. This made me realize anyone could be confined to a wheelchair and have no use of their hands but still be able to magnificently put on makeup.

The amount of positive feedback she received was immaculate, all her worry was for nothing. Her story was inspirational, so many people reached out and let her know how awesome of a person is, she still does makeup videos, unedited, 4 years
