…and we’re sharing them with you! Every once in a while Editrix Jenni gets the urge to just share some of her favorite things with you, get a little more personal than usual. Today’s one of those days! She’s collected a bunch of awesome stuff for you, and we think this is one issue you’ll come back to over and over again. (And don’t forget: We have an archive of every issue, too!) What’s your favorite thing? New today at ChronicBabe.com: Want to feel more “frisky?” And by frisky we mean, you know, sexy. It’s common for folks with chronic illness to feel less than fabulous, and that can lead to a downturn in the bedroom. Of course, we don’t have ALL the answers, but we have some ideas—four of them, in fact—to help you feel more “in the mood.” They’re simple and flexible, applicable to just about everyone. Give ‘em a shot, Babes! What's on our plate? Summer fun. (Well, if the Chicago weather would cooperate, mutters the Editrix.) We’re still optimistic: a bathing suit’s been purchased, sunscreen found in the bottom of the bathroom drawer, big floppy hat dusted off, and bike tuned up and ready for cruising. We think it’s important to get out there and enjoy this beautiful season as much as possible, no matter your limitations, so get moving, ladies!
