Happy Easter! 🐰💕🍯

I hope your day was full of candy, family, good food and maybe some cocktails. I made a board for my family and added this berry basket to get some height. I love it! Might be a new regular on boards throughout berry season. What do y’all think?

Did you know March is National Autoimmune Disease

Did you know March is National Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month?

I was officially diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis in July of 2020. I say ‘officially’ because it was a long time coming. It took 4 years of symptoms and several different specialists to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Since I started opening up about this part of my life, I have received a shocking amount DMs from people that can relate or people that are trying to navigate a journey of their own.

In an effort to raise awareness about Psoriatic Arthritis, I wrote a blog post sharing my long, frustrating journey and the epiphany I had earlier this year. It’s a long post so pour yourself a glass of wine while you read...And give me some grace because it’s much easier for me to write about food than personal experiences.

I’ll share a second blog post soon inclusive of my treatment plan and commonly asked questions.

I hope some of you find this helpful!🤍 Use the link in my bio to go directly to the post or search Psoriatic Arthritis on my blog.
