I cannot believe we’re almost halfway through the year! Time really flies (whether I’m having fun or not)…
This week I am grateful for…
….access to medical insurance. I moved forward with my sinus procedure and follow up appointments, both of which were fully covered by my insurance. Now, I am one step closer to controlling my chronic sinusitis!
What are you grateful for this week?
HI, my name is Monica and I have RA.

Oh, my lungs hurt? It’s the methotrexate. My ribs are inflamed? It’s the rheumatoid arthritis. My tongue is sore? That’s just the Sjogren’s. Your head is completely congested? That’s just your unrelated sinusitis.
I’ve been out of commission for months. Around October, my chronic sinusitis flared badly and I’ve dealt with infections ever since.
I wrote an article over at RheumatoidArthritis.net about how sometimes conditions are not all tied to my autoimmune!

Oh boy, am I behind on sharing my nail arts on the blog! Long story short (and a dedicated post coming up), I’ve been really really ill for…months. This has to be one of my worst years since my diagnosis and I’m not talking pain or fatigue. Just plain old sick!
Anyways, here is a fun purple dotticure I did during February for Valentine’s Day. The asymmetrical dotticure is always RA-friendly and easy to achieve. Scroll all the way down to see a tutorial on a similar look! But, before you do, don’t forget to…

I’m all about the easy nail art and dry brush is one of the simplest techniques possible. You don’t need any extra tools and all you do is scrape the excess polish from the brush, on the side of the bottle and swip it across the nail until you’re happy with the final result.
I’m feeling the purples right now so I grabbed a few and away I went. I hope you like the finished product!

It’s February which means love is finally in the air; even if the merchandise has been out since Boxing Day! It’s time for everyone to start sharing their festive Valentine’s Day nail art looks and I don’t plan on being the exception.
In the spirit of keeping things “arthritis-friendly” I’m startin with simple stamped hearts. I used single heart images and put them along one edge of the nail. Random placement makes for less dexterity and less anxiety on perfection! Random is my friend, lol.
I hope you like this easy, simple yet lovely nail art! Let me know in the comments.

…And time for the obligatory glitter, firework or drinking nails posts! I didn’t do that many just because it I’m not really into the New Year, New…Whatevers.
My Rheumatoid Disease has been flaring up and down since the beginning of December. We’ve had some really harsh temperature fluctations for weeks and my condition is no fan.
Glitter nails are completely festive and totally arthritis-friendly. Win, win, and just for luck, WIN! I hope you like this simple yet snazzy nail art look! LMK in the comments!
