Most vulnerable (and longest) post EVER! I haven't posted any new tutorials and this is why... I am sharing this to bring awareness, otherwise I would continue to hide. Most of the time you only see the "best of" people's lives on social media..... I want to keep it real with you. This is what a bad flare up of Lupus lesions and rash looks like when it's getting better!(yes, better!) first pictures were taken this morning. You can't see the lesions on my scalp but they are there. I'm working on a more in depth video that will be on YouTube ASAP showing this 6 week long nightmare skin flare up following car accident September 15th. I have Systemic Lupus, Sjogrens and Raynauds. Three very unpredictable Autoimmune Diseases. Majority of the time they are invisible to the general public, even bad flare ups often are invisible. You can't see fatigue, pain, bleeding kidney, dry mouth, swollen salivary gland, cardiac shunt, brain fog, etc. Sometimes flare ups are visible... Lesions, rashes and I get extra dark purple under my eyes. Both Lupus and Sjogrens have an element of photosensitivity causing flushing of the skin, worsening of Lupus lesions and other rashes associated with Sjogrens when in direct UVA UVB light, halogen light included. Hence dark tint necessary on my car windows. I have made every lifestyle and diet adjustment because for me it's better than steroids and plaquinell. I am powerless over my illnesses but I do have control over my attitude and whether or not it's a good or bad day, I CHOOSE to be positive and in gratitude. Don't be so quick to judge you don't know what people are going through. Be Kind. #Beautiaholics #selfie #motd #nomakeupmakeup #systemiclupus #sjogrens #raynauds #autoimmune #chronicillness #pcos #lupusflare #makeup #makeupartist #mua #gratitude #attitudeofgratitude #lupus #lupusawareness #warrior #matisyahu #oneday #love #kindnessisgangster #nyx #tmub #bootsuk #highlight #colorcorrect
