Meet the woman born with NO ARMS who does her nails, dresses her toddler and paints using her FEET.
Doctors couldn't say why Sarah Talbi, 38, was born without any upper limbs.
But as a child, Sarah didn't see herself different and learnt to eat, dress herself and brush her hair using her feet.
As she got older, she developed more skills like chopping vegetables and doing her make-up - all with her toes.
Sarah has a two-year-old daughter, Lilia, who she cooks for, dresses and plays with.
Little Lilia sees her mum as no different and holds onto Sarah's sleeve when they cross the road.
Sarah, a stay-at-home mum, from Brussels, Belgium said: "I can do anything with my feet as long as I don't have shoes on.
"I put my make-up on, dress, cook, shower look after Lilia, I can do everything I want."
As a child, Sarah didn't see herself as any different.
Sarah said: "How a baby takes everything with their hands and makes a mess, I did the same with my feet so my brain was connecting to my feet.
"I could do everything a toddler the same age could do, just with my feet.
"As I got older I could eat, but I struggled to write.
"Those things came later, I learnt it because it was the age of learning.
"Some other children asked why I didn't have arms but for me, it was totally normal.
"I thought there were lots of other people without arms and I was just one of those people."
When Sarah was a teenager she studied English and Spanish translation at Institut supérieur de traducteurs et interprètes (ISTI), Brussels without extra support.
Sarah said: "I was able to do it like anyone else.
"When I did Erasmus I had to move but I moved in with friends and we had an apartment together.
"I just had an experience like anyone would have done and I did that without struggling."
in September 2018, Sarah had a baby, Lilia, now two.
Sarah said: "It is a huge achievement becoming a mum.
"It's my best achievement.
"I think it's hard for any woman to become a mum because it's such a big change, plus having a disability you are dealing with two things.
"But my disability had to adapt to having a baby.
"Now I have two years of experience and I can do everything with my daughter.
"She holds me by my sleeve when we walk along the street.
"It's unbelievable, she's holding it like a hand.
"It's funny because sometimes she'll want to run off and touch something in the street and she asks and tugs my sleeve.
"She doesn't know I can't hold her back yet which is sweet."
Sarah has even found that she can paint using her feet, and is looking forward to putting on more exhibitions to showcase her work.
