Build A Ladder

Martina created the blog, Painfully Cute: Brace Yourself for Fashion to help those suffering from EDS as well as other invisible illnesses.

"Whether we have an illness or not, we must never stop grasping for the beautiful things in life. So I figure a lot of us might be in pain but at least we can look cute while feeling it." -Martina

“What’s up with Martina?” Sometimes Martina makes comment about being "sick" in their videos. She was born with hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos) & is pretty open talking about life with a chronic condition & how she pushes through the pain/depression that comes with it using techniques like Build A Ladder. It might come up from time to time...when she's not busy eating 🍣
