Living with RA. No.1

I'm just making fun of myself, no-one else!

[farm123]

I never got the hang of make up when I was younger so never bothered therefore nobody makes any comments about me not wearing any (don't think it will be the same for my 14 year old daughter who already wears it every day). One less thing for me to do suits me. Farm

that's good it gets a point across , you should make some more showing the hidden side to rd as its hard to explain to people what we go through each day ,and if you can't laugh at you self there is no hope , it made me smile.

Love it. Much more fun than dry text - NRAS take note!

Me too - really funny and beautifully sketched! Being very fair skinned I've always worn eye make up but it makes my dry eyes ache and smudges down my face when I use my eye drops or ointment is left over so I've had to stop. Everyone keeps telling me how crap I look just now (in a solicitous kind of way)! X

Beautiful in it's simplicity Jo. I don't wear make-up every day nowadays only when I need to posh up for going out & need to have a towel on my lap then because if I don't I'm guaranteed to drop my mascara wand & invariably poke myself in the eye so it represents me well! Will you be posting the others? I'm sure we'd all love to see them.

Hope all went well today. x

Great! How lovely to get such positive feedback. I don't wear masses of eye-shadow (even where it is supposed to be) so there is a little artistic licence there! I will try and post one a week.

Your responses have helped me after a very disappointing appointment at the hospital. More about that in a separate post, once I have calmed down a bit!

Thank you so much.

Love it! I rarely if ever wear makeup either. Wish I could draw I can only do stick people with big hands/feet.

[Jora in reply to Tinwoman2]

Thank you! I'm delighted it has made so many people smile!

[Caza in reply to Jora]

Thank you, I think that this would get across to people who don't have RD more than words will. More please x

[Jora in reply to Caza]

I must resist doing any more until after my open studio next weekend. But I expect the ideas will keep coming! Glad you appreciated it. x

Love it! Made me laugh. X

I have difficulty with eye makeup too don't wear it . What about drying the back of your hair?. I say I can't see it so it can't be there so I don't do it!!!

[Jora in reply to Chmbrln]

I don't dry mine as heat seems to make it even more brittle, and every time I brush it, it gets noticably thinner. So, it's the natural look for me. I don't wear blue eye shadow either, but It worked best in the sketch.

[Jora in reply to Smiler53]

Excellent. Laughing is good! x

[Jora in reply to Smiler53]

I'm pleased about that. Thank you!

That's brilliant Jo thanks for posting.

I like others don't wear makeup often because eye make up agricates my dry eyes and Blepharitis. I have Rosacea too and my skin is so sensitive. Shame cos it cheers me up to wear a bit and them someone will say hey you look really well and I just smile cos it's only the makeup! Know what I mean?

Will wait to hear about your appointment.
