Hey there, sweater enthusiast! 👋🧶

It’s me, Sidney Raz, back with another SWEATER LETTER—because newsletters are cool, but sweaters are wackier. Let’s dive into this week’s “things I wish I knew sooner” and cancer updates.

🧠 Main Hack

The Band Aid life hack you need

Did you know that it doesn’t have to hurt when you take off a band aid?!

Here’s the trick: Pull down rather than ripping it. I’m not sure what magiks it is but it IS magiks. DARK MAGIK. 🤯

I made a video about it here: Watch it on Instagram!

Try it and let me know if you don’t feel the pain.

My Surgery was pushed!

So my surgery was supposed to be today, but it isn’t. PHEW.

Since last week’s positive ultrasound I’ve had a lot of conversations about pushing my surgery. Since they ultrasound came back so good, there wasn’t a need to remove my stomach ASAP. And honestly my family and I are not mentally, physically, emotionally, or nutritionally ready. So now it in the summer. Woooooooo?

I have a lot of Hot Sauce now

Hot ones sent me a full pack of this season’s line up! Then they sent me another one with a great note in it. So I have two packs of hot sauce ready to go before my surgery! I’m really trying to get the host, Sean, in the live stream but we shall see.

✨ Until Next Time…

Go forth and impress your friends with your newfound knowledge!

Thanks for reading!
