Medical Marijuana & Lupus

6/30/2015

0 Comments

 
I feel as though Medical marijuana is a touchy topic...you are either for or against it. Typically when I hear about the use of medical marijuana I think of cancer patients. So, when I came across this article where Dr. Sean Breen discuses the use of medical marijuana in Lupus patients I was intrigued. Check the article out here!

What are your thoughts?

I came across this article and immediately fell in love with this idea! This woman, Elyse Hammett, made a Lupus Box where she would keep inspirational items and turn to her box when she was feeling down and needed a little pick me up! This story really inspired me! I want to make Lupus boxes and send them so some of my favorite spoonies! I think I just might! Check out Elyse Hammett's story here!

Camouflage Make-up & Lupus Scars

6/26/2015

I have many passions, and the most important one in my book is raising awareness in the fight against Lupus! But, my second passion would be makeup and fashion! So, when I came across this article, I was beyond excited to share it with you! Many Lupus patients suffer from rashes and scaring, and while that comes with the disease, it doesn't mean you want to wear it on your face every day! I came across the AWESOME blog, Tiffany and Lupus, and in the post I'm sharing she gives us tips on covering up scars from Lupus! While I loved this article, I am so excited about this blog! I can't wait to spend time checking out her site and getting to know her better!

Hope you LOVE it too!
