Living With Lupus: Why Rue Apothecary Is More Than a Brand

First, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to each of you who supports Rue Apothecary. ❤️🙏🏾 Your encouragement allows me to pursue a passion that has been close to my heart for years—exploring natural, holistic ways to heal and care for the body. 🌿🌱

What many of you may not know is that this journey isn’t just professional for me—it’s deeply personal. I live with lupus, an autoimmune condition that brings daily struggles with pain, fatigue, and unpredictable flare-ups. Balancing a traditional 9-to-5 job while also managing my health has not been easy. There are days when my body feels heavy, when simple tasks require immense energy, and when the toll on my mental and emotional well-being is just as real as the physical one.

Yet, through it all, Rue Apothecary has become both an outlet and a source of hope. Creating these products isn’t just about formulating skincare or wellness items—it’s about survival, resilience, and self-care. Every balm, butter, and blend is born from the same commitment I make daily to care for myself in the most natural, gentle way possible. 🛀🏾✨

Holistic care isn’t just a philosophy here—it’s a lifeline. In today’s fast-paced world, where stress is constant and rest is rare, taking intentional time for self-care is essential. Living with lupus has taught me that slowing down, nourishing the body with nature’s remedies, and embracing balance are not luxuries—they’re necessities.

When you choose Rue Apothecary, you’re not just supporting a small business. You’re supporting a dream built on resilience and a mission grounded in compassion—for those of us living with chronic illness, and for anyone who believes that wellness should be natural, accessible, and healing.

Thank you for allowing me to share not just products, but pieces of my journey. Your support makes it possible for me to transform my struggles into purpose—and to pass that care along to you, one creation at a time.

With love and gratitude,
