ughhh I wanted to give y’all a GRWM because I actually felt cute…but between the brain fog from Lousy Lupus and Entitled Epilepsy, here’s me missing the whole record button. 🤡 A note to Ash that I do not have to get everything right, even when ya girl feeling herself. 🫠 👣 God already has orde

No, I still can’t pronounce Sjögren’s disease, so HUSH 😅😩 If you’ve got dry skin, dark spots from Lupus, or even eczema that acts up whenever it wants, HEY TWIN. 👋🏽 🧼This turmeric bar from @dermaorganics has been brightening my dark spots, calming my rash, and keeping my skin soft without strip

Immunosuppressants change the way my skin reacts to products. Many makeup removers contain acids, plant extracts, or ingredients that are meant to wake up or stimulate the skin. For most people that is harmless. For autoimmune patients it can cause irritation, inflammation, or trigger the im

Me: Just making dinner. My Lupus: Absolutely Not. Watch this. 🫠 *fingers cramp and stuck for what felt like 32,537 seconds* Chronic illness really shows up during the most ordinary moments. If you live with a chronic illness, you know even the smallest tasks can surprise you. As it was

Sometimes I feel cute and strong enough to kick it. Sometimes lupus humbles this social butterfly. 🦋 One night out can mean a week in the house recovering. Thank God, He offers rest in ways I can’t imagine, too. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give y

Not everything is a crisis. Sometimes I just need a snack and a second to breathe. Lupus nausea has been real lately, and oddly enough pickles help settle my stomach. So yes… this is my little reset moment. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 #lupus #lup

While organizing my meds today, that familiar wave of overwhelm showed up again. Managing lupus is a lot — appointments, routines, shifting symptoms. I’m learning to slow down and let Psalm 73:26 comfort me: ‘My health may fail… but God remains the strength of my heart.’ What helps you fin

Therapy update: I started virtually (because lupus + sun = NOPE 😭). But my therapist said I needed in-person care too… and she was right. There’s no shame in needing help. Chronic illness hits your mind just as hard. Proverbs 13:20 💜

Tests, labs, protocols, appointments… lupus brings all of it. Today’s moment: another blood draw but still believing for healing. 💜✨ Holding this promise close: ‘This sickness is not unto death…’ (John 11:4) If you’re on this journey, please find support in your local community. You deserve

Lupus skin is a journey — some days I’m moisturized, and some days I’m giving “extra crispy like fried chicken” 😂 So I put together all the products I actually use for lupus rashes, eczema, psoriasis, and sensitive skin. Not sponsored. Just sharing what genuinely works for me. Proverbs 15:30

I took a long break from posting because sometimes life gets so real you don’t have the words. This season has been heavy and holy at the same time. From caring for my MIL in hospice, to planning her funeral, to packing her home and moving to a new city… I’m learning that healing doesn’t happe

Starting the new year with healing and hope 🙌🏾✨ My flareup on my arms is 70% better, and I’m claiming 2025 as a year of fresh starts and growth. 🥂Cheers to progress and all the good things ahead! Happy New Year! #HealingJourney #Lupus #LupusWarrior #discoidlupus #skincare
