Attack of the Insomnia Monster! (by bornbravelogs)

New vlog! I’m having so much fun making these! 

I’ll post an art tutorial on my regular channel tomorrow. And if I hit 3,000 subscribers by then, well….who likes giveaways? ;)

Knowing When to Stop & Rest When You Need It (born brave #2) (by bornbravelogs)

Can’t really type much, and my hands are aching already, but I love you all and am honored you’ve invited me onto your dash. I hope to be up and back to answer askbox questions and such by the end of the week. 

Still working out the kinks re: posting these vlogs to my blog/tumblr, but honestly, I’m finding that everyone - chronically ill or not - have gotten something from the first video, and the positive response to this new project has me wanting to share more.

Living w/ a Chronic Illness (born brave #1) (by bornbravelogs)

I wanted to start a vlog for other women like me - women who have chronic illnesses, but want to still have a beautiful, creative life. So here’s the first one; I just decided to start instead of over thinking it. 

I’ll be discussing life, love, money, relationships, weather, doctors, and more. If you’re chronically ill or know someone who is, this may help you feel less alone. 

This is my new channel & tumblr devoted to this project.

Chronic Tip: Need containers for paint or mixing experiments? Grab empty pill bottles! I know I have a bunch. (Idea by the lovely @oofrecklesoo!) #spoonie #chroniclyill #art #paint (Taken with Instagram)

Balloon hand. My body’s way of saying, “You better rest today, or things are gonna go downhill.” #spoonie #fms #chroniclyill (Taken with Instagram)

Working on my newest project; start saving now for this should-be-awesome journaling class! #spoonie #chroniclyill #artjournal (Taken with instagram)

Phase one of being a lab rat - done. The left side of my face is red from electrodes. #spoonie #fms #researchstudy (Taken with instagram)

More BIG play! How a #spoonie does art…sitting on her couch using easy-to-use supplies. #art #girl #mixedmedia (Taken with instagram)

Tired + wanting to be artsy = quiet time on the couch with my Smash book (I am so behind in it!). #artjournal #artsupplies #smashbook #spoonie (Taken with instagram)
