WELCOME TO SIGHTLESS LIVING!


Hi there! I'm Anita; A Woman born fully Sighted with no eye condition, now totally Blind (which can happen to anyone). I would Describe Myself as a Creative Woman who is a Friendly, Witty Advocate – A Music, Arts, & Tech Lover – YouTube Content Creator – and Out-of-the-Box Thinker. I am a bit of a Rebel, but the Friendly kind. LOL. I foster a Love of Self-Expression through Makeup, Self-Assurance from Education and Training, Integrity and a Can-Do Attitude from Work Ethic and Experiences, with Rants, Raves, & Story Times in between.

My Content focuses on LIFE: Day-to-day Activities, Cooking, Grilling, Beauty, Grooming, Chores, Projects, Date Nights, Home Life, Marriage, Children, Technology, and More, with Rants, Raves, and Story Times in between.


I present how I take on the challenge as a Blind Independent Woman, as well as demonstrate How Anyone with a Visual Impairment status can still Live an Enjoyable, Productive, and Fulfilling Life regardless of any level of Sight Loss.

How To Get A FREE White Cane When You're Blind and Broke!

This Video explains how People who are Blind / Visually Impaired can Request a FREE white cane regardless of Their ability to pay. Sighted People may ask, "What is the White Cane for?" A White Cane is a Low-Tech Device used by many People who are Blind / Visually Impaired. The White Cane Allows Us to Scan our Surroundings for Obstacles or Orientation Marks. The White Cane Gives Us the Ability to Achieve a Full and Independent Life, Allowing Us to Travel Freely and Safely.

GET YOUR BEAUTY ON!!

Hi there; it’s Anita. As a totally Blind Woman, I love to express myself through Makeup and Fashion, Although I find this Task very challenging to complete quickly with Ease on a Daily Basis. Trying to Distinguish between various Colors & Shades of Makeup Products, may isolate this Routine only to Those with Confidence, Patience, and Time; Especially when products boast Non-Descriptive Names such as ‘Evil Genius’ on an Eyeliner, ‘Get Crazy’ on a Lipstick, or Numbers, etc., 

usually found on some Foundations, Blushes, and Pencils, to name a few.


Although My out-of-the-box Thinking has always inspired Me to Create Innovative Disability, Inclusive Solutions for a Method of Application for My Personal Use of these Discriminatory, Non-Inclusive, and Non-Accessible Makeup Products, No Disabled Beauty Enthusiast should have to do this to Enjoy and Apply their Beauty Products. These Products include but are not limited to, Eyeshadows, Eyeliners, Mascaras, Blushes, Highlighters, Bronzers, Lipsticks, Foundations, Primers, etcetera. Everyone has the Right to Look and Feel Beautiful Regardless of any Disability!


Did you know, According to the WHO, Blindness and Vision Impairments affect approximately 2.2 Billion People on the Planet, All of Whom Face different Daily Challenges.


How did we get here? Unfortunately, Beauty Brands seem to prefer using Non-Descriptive Names for Their Makeup Products, and fail to realize, to be compliant with Inclusivity and Accessibility for All, it is Imperative to include Standard Color-Identifying Names. It always helps those of Us with Blindness & Visual Impairments when a Beauty Brand does Include Standard Color Names, in an attempt to become more Accessible. Just knowing Colors I apply to create the Look I am going for, makes Me feel Confident with surety. No one wants to create a Makeup disaster or a ‘clown face.’


How can we Fix this? All Beauty Brands need to make Their Products Diverse, Inclusive, and Accessible for the Masses! Those of Us who choose to enjoy Makeup and Cosmetics should not need to go to our ‘Home Labs’ to Invent a Method or Device to utilize Products from Beauty Brands, like I often do, nor should We be Penalized or Excluded if we have a Disability.


While many Beauty Brands are Not Accessible to Individuals with Blindness & Visual Impairments, many Products like Mascaras and Brow Pencils do feature Standard Color Names. Colourpop Cosmetics, Fantasia Beverly Hills, Makeup By Mario, and a few more Brands I found out there, Include Shade Color Descriptions in their Palettes on their Websites. Something more Brands need to do to become more Inclusive and Accessible.


Although this is a big feat, I will continue to Advocate for Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusivity in the World of Beauty and Makeup.
