to take. you see through. all the time and we're the first to get those. loves little. kisses to me. it isn't me. but. you would know it was true that you would love for me to see that. ok let's. meet. our special guest is lauren scruggs kennedy also lifestyle blogger and entrepreneur and twenty eleven lauren suffered a devastating accident as she exited the plane in the dog she walked into a spinning bull tele resulting in the loss of her left eye and all. arm after

a long road to recovery lauren scruggs is working to empower other young women on her lifestyle website and now with the lauren scruggs kennedy foundation it would be hard to look at her and say that this is a woman who was in a bad accident well that whatever they did the work done you would know left eye and the left on they did a good job thank you where was it done it was all done in dallas so my eye doctor is amazing i had a little team of search and amazing prosthetist all right what happened that night and two dozen of the lives so i was at a house with good friends and we went on a plane ride and a small to see airplane and we landed and kind of a rainy dark night were up looking at christmas lights and got out and was hit by the propeller and the other people hurt no one they were on the plane to. you and and the pilot so as you would depart with you dating the pilots know you're married

yes so i wasn't married at the time i didn't even know my husband at that time oh the joy of going to a propos they it's a pure mystery. some think it could have sucked me into it the way i got out. i don't know if we were your own conscious i actually was not i i don't remember anything but i was talking and making sounds and all that so and the part of get you to a hospital right away so there's a group of people and they called care flight. in the place and so yeah carefully it was there really quickly firefighters. that were you in pain i'm assuming for sure you don't remember i don't remember and i'm so thankful word that it was the propeller making a noise most likely so you don't remember i don't and i always wonderful have

flashbacks to remembering you don't have them though no i never have so what you're telling me is what someone told you yes yeah a lot of it i have to ask my parents like what was happening even the first two weeks in the hospital i don't remember anything but i was very awake and talking and alert when do they told you you had lost them i i think they woke up one day and i realized i was patch on my eye i don't have my left hand but i had apparently asked my parents over and over again like why am i here all of that but when i was conscious and just aware still in a lot of pain medication so it became really real when i was getting off that medication you had no left hand. moves as a stump yes so just part of my arm with my little arm obviously do the baby that's a prosthetic leg that right yes your left eye looks amazing and that's. the glass side right it's actually silicone silicone yes it's

a new way that they're making them well yes the they do not live seeing glass eyes this is not look like the web yet they match a color exactly he paints a he's amazing he actually has one eye as well my process the test in one home yeah you have to take it out. a deal every night i do yeah. because you can sleep with it it gets very uncomfortable and all that contact lenses yap yap about the arm they take it off all the time you said that the blues said they gone made a big difference in your life styles i think because i was used to having two arms i think just losing a hand i mean we feel incomplete and so having another arm that made me feel like a whole person was really healing for me so you met your husband after all yes he did our expensive is a place that on so this one there are different but this is a passive arm so it has no function and with the cosmetic covering is about thirty

to thirty five thousand you can't use it you know so i have one that i can use to cut in my electric i just don't like it because i don't like a lot of them in hell and it just kind of gets in the way once you learn how to do everything oh what does the lauren scruggs kennedy foundation for women who have lost a limb you know does it's purpose we actually provide the cosmetic covering for prosthetic arms and legs and then just walk through that journey with the women one of my experiences was i didn't know a lot of girls that had limb loss and then i met bethany hamilton who is and was a bit by a shark over ten years ago and lost her arm and she became a dear friend and then just met a lot of other girls there are many posts that i live a lot and i was so in aware before that it was an insurance cover not often you know later very rarely. you have

a health insurance yes you lose an arm it's not covered what is covered. as the surgery covered they covered a lot of i was a rare story so they covered a lot more for me than the normal but i started meeting all of these women that no one was covered none of it like even my friend lost all four limbs she was my age has two kids young kids and all they would provide for her were like hoax for hands and she's thinking i am going through so much emotional pain in trying to raise my children and you're going to give me hooks for my arm like i can't handle that or you foundation will provide money to provide for said it's yes so specifically the cosmetic covering so a lot of times insurance will cover the basic arm and then the cosmetic covering is and makes it beautiful and realistic looking at the door managed thank you it's a lot done texas it is yes by an amazing family they started this business their

garage basically everyone from around the world they want to get in with our tech to have them paint their prosthetic leg was a name that our tech or the our we get in touch with the foundation so our website is ls k. foundation dot com well as cave foundation dot com yes and you get all the information moves so people do get help yet and we have an instagram at the foundation you have a twin sister i do how did she react to this oh my gosh she is just such a rock between the exact wins we're actually fraternal so she has dark brown hair naturally curly and about your parents they were just my strength in support only you i was twenty three they're incredible people i respect them so much and i tell them often i feel like you guys went through more than me because i will go up with my injuries but they went through the trauma side of it of is she going to live is

she going to be the same person will she have. the same personality was he a vegetable all bad and just quick decisions on surgeries and a lot of pressure on women to be good to feel like you're obviously beautiful we don't deny that change yet you don't have the average case obviously did you have scars that they have that i do have a scar down my face but they've just healed up really well and covered with hair not always been known to see anything thank you. there's a lot of amazing doctors that you have helped as the accident change your perspective on beauty one hundred percent only though i realize that i put a lot of value in outer beauty because that's what bothered me the most after my accident like oh my gosh i don't look the same i'm so ugly i'm not going to fit in no man is ever going to love me because i don't like that and i've truly realized and i've heard this my whole life that beauty is internal and i've never understood

that but i think just your character in just how you react to even struggle in your life and then how you love other people like is so much more beautiful than our to appearance and of course the two can go hand in hand only kate bolduan but i don't know i feel like you never went through a period of feeling sorry and not really doing in the mirror and saying this is terrible i didn't definitely thought this is terrible i can't believe this is happening but i never thought like why me and feeling sorry for myself i think i was the opposite of victimizing myself and kind of are building in fat mentality when did you decided you would use this to inspire other people when i met bethany in realized how much her friendship tell helped me i wanted to just extend that comfort to other girls and women because i understood it in

a study meeting other girls so betty and i created this retreat for girls that had lost limbs in. yes for special weekends and so just connecting with them immediately because i don't have to explain anything to you you get it we have different stories but same outcomes in a way well it's the old you want to do when you were twenty three before this my gosh i started a blog i was reporting on fashion weeks model everywhere more for fun but not necessarily career wise and so yeah i feel like i just kind of living life in a more shallow level who popular at school yeah i did meet your husband his co-host reach out to me about a month after my accident host well for giuliana rancic from the news so how did you meet it you guessed it on his show so she interviewed me about a year after we connected and she introduced the two of us and this was after the surgery and everything yet was a year after my accident how did he deal with it so when i first moved here we

first got married i feel like i had to explain a lot to him because he didn't go through all of it with me so i had explained fatigue and just a lot of things and he has become one of my biggest supporters in even just being comfortable and feeling safe with who i am in knowing that i'm beautiful how i am and just encouraging me daily in that when you go to sleep the night you take your eye up a deal he sees you without your eye all the time and without your first that it doesn't involve not at all yet he loves he loves playing little armin so to say kisses side of my face and say this is like my favorite side of your face and it's so beautiful quite a guy that you think you're going to be associated with this actually all your life i think it's part of my story so in some way but i never want to be identified as that's the girl that got hit by a propeller i think there's so much you're going to be involved in helping people

in the a foundation for sure you're supposed to do other things right i did blog on other things you did about why. style and yet so i have a wellness lifestyle blog called alice kay so lauren scruggs kennedy dot com and then we started trying to shampoo or launch that with my twin sister has been in my best friend the minute yet what's the biggest misconception about amputees that they're not able to do as much in honestly if my experience personally has been it's made me more empowered because i'm like even the things i had to really learn it made me just more challenge to figure those things out and do them and then i think it just makes you a deeper person and just have a different perspective on life c.l.s. k foundation dot com writer dot com coming up we'll discuss lauren's new business venture and the best advice she ever got the right.

level blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle they're going. to do so it's part of the tell you that every gossip the public profile. doesn't tell you are not cool enough to buy their product. all before we go on the blog we want. am i finally in a cell phone and also this weekend going to play now how's it going to end up donkey the point. lining if you knew you wouldn't be that easy to find a ten that i had in me. plus it said i must

consider people whom it is. good but i've done my duty by my little bit of a wonderful i'm not proud of it going to the odd shut out of money going to no doubt much a little to wait for tomorrow not to get it but and. this is monday is slightly lose. some mornings of. the season. you can do no problem. i do not know if the russian state packed into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself

in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied that the n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe us. when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story

stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say i think the average viewer knows r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say that's the beauty of the america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people.

that would lauren scruggs kennedy the foundation is the lauren scruggs kennedy foundation where you help women who went through what she went through she mentors also provides prosthetics you launched a dry shampoo and you call it stranded yet what is a drug. so. basically it's a powder that you put into your hair and it absorbs all the oils so usually you'd have to wash your hair stamp it and said you can go another day and just you don't wash it that it can make you go more days without washing your hair what do you bring to the hair kind of like a baby otter to come up with this my best friend and i are living together and she

came home one day and just said ok we is bon's conies bay pattern or hair dry shampoo and it works great but brunettes don't have that luxury because it makes their hair look grey it's really glitz create one for bring nets and then we did the same for redheads and yeah we started in our apartment where do you get it you can get it on the stranded shop dot com or as you called stranded and then my best friend came up with that we'd had a lot of brainstorming but we thought it kind of encompassed strands of hair you're stranded any major a shampoo is probably possible as if you didn't have the. where would you be today what do you think you'd be doing jimi had that mr kennedy no you would have been on the show i don't think so yeah i think about that a lot i i think i would be blogging i kind of started it when it was all starting and. start reporting about two weeks before bloggers went and it was more intimate and personal and all that so i think i just would have grown out of you know from

that point on but i don't think i would have ever met jason we just still be in texas probably ok we play a little game of if you only knew ok childhood celebrity crush i just love the olsen twins. is that a guy but i loved them in all their in all their movies see good talent. ok it's not a court yet person you'd trade places with for a day or tom brady because i love the way they eat that gives you pleasure really nice hotels and spas i mean with that what super bro would you like to have would never want to pee again. because they're diffuse so much and it just gets in the way like we're running errands and like i've had a bad reaction i don't think so i think i've always been that ok something you wish you were better at i think communicating sometimes you don't think you communicate

sometimes if it's like a hard subject. it's harder to confront maybe that's a better word best piece of advice you ever got up that everyone has a story was piece of advice you have a dog when someone says to compare yourself to another person or just see what they're doing and see how they do it and then like there's a small fine they retain comparison and a mentor you have a mentor my mom's one of them my parents is gone we're all models my sister my mom my dad. my husband something you should all be paying more attention to this other people i think a lot of times we get so caught up in our own lives and own problems and just my dad always says it encourages me if i'm. just feeling ungrateful to go serve somewhere or to go help another person and then everything kind of falls into perspective only on your bucket list i would say to go to australia what never fails to make you less anything related to gas. are

far to. go to have a life. is this something you long believed to be true and realize wasn't i think that our beauty makes you fit in also you must have believed beauty was everything for sure yet you've spent a lot of time in the make up. mirror not really i think i just think about it more but how you look mattered for sure yeah it's something we don't know about you i'm addicted to gum up the what something you can't do you wish you could do i cannot nail a nail into law as fraid need two hands yeah about eating i have a hard time cutting meat but i'm not a big mediator so that the positive seeing with one eye is ok it is yes i don't have a lot of depth perception at times or depth perception issues at times but for the most part i would never know that i have lost i get

a driver's license yes some social media questions as boss tweets was the best advice you've ever gotten when it comes to following your dreams. my dad actually told me he was on a biggest encouragers of just keep following what your passion is like look ahead into it so i was getting job offers that were just solid ninety five jobs while i was starting my own business and he just said well you've gotta keep remembering what you're going to do don't stray from that passion or vision and keep going confidently in that way they must've been devastated when it happened oh yes. electro cino after everything you've been through do you believe in a superior and today and did your character change after the actual i literally would not have been able to make it without my faith and without depending on jesus through it all and yes i think my character deep end i became just more self-aware

and aware of people in pain and what that feels like to some people might a blame god for sure the accident yeah yeah didn't you have anything i was so pretty no i really didn't and i think. like i look back and it confuses me head times because i'm like this is a really hard thing but i just i feel like and know that god just gave me this strength through every moment and every day even when it fell impossible i would just pray and read the bible and talk to my friends and just felt so much strength in those moments so long was the surgery but it would say i don't know a couple hours for sure you know i i and then i was actually hit in the head as well so i had an amazing neurosurgeon and he had brain surgery yep yeah listen a lot of pain you may not remember but i really don't sam women via our blog what do people get wrong about you i would say i think people can be quick to judge

a scenario in just thinking i think just unfortunate comments of how can you be so stupid and run into a propeller and i'm thinking like i don't know i wonder the same thing and i feel like i'm just not this blonde like i did see a person a lot of people do this this is the best way to support someone who suffers something dramatic other things for example not to say. i think the best thing to do is just be really real with that person like i love when someone comes out to me they're like oh my gosh can i touch your arm and make sure because it's just a part of me now. but i feel like even just with good friends or family when they're going through something difficult sometimes the best thing to do is just be present and you don't have to say anything you can just give a hug or sit next to them and be silent with them and just let them process and the other take them or from public i will wear it with

a long sleeves but it's one of my insecurities that i'm working through the mccartney's wife to kota leg. yeah and to me the leg. my husband cries as that if i didn't. he would not want to do it he would love for me to do that i want to do it you have the urge. baby wouldn't bother me ok i'm not getting oh my god try it it will be very good ok let's do it then or do you have left it's so this is a liner and then this is. music as. deficit and you just say really cold right now it's like purple and what is the line to do so this . goes over my arm and then locks my prosthesis and feet and put them like that. and then the pros thesis yeah well. it's an amazing bit of work all right so this is

a gloved hand does it match your other fingers it does yeah they actually took a mold of it now did medfield did to take it off yes i think if you i freed you up you did i was trying not to cry my hands out there's no q no reason ever to be ashamed of yeah thank you live in a big speech you help a lot of people when you do that yeah what advice do you have for other young women out there who struggle to feel good about themselves i wouldn't say these says i would say to not hide just like we went through i think it just holds you back from living a free life and yeah i think just fully being who you are and not being afraid to be who you are you're an angel thank you thanks for having to learn scruggs tenby foundation and you learn more a lot about what they do and they have as always you can find me on twitter at kings things i'll see you next on.
