Gift Guide: Yogi

The holidays are rapidly approaching, and you know what that means – it’s time to buy presents! I will be posting a weekly gift guide for different topics, interests, and types of people. I know that there are gift guides galore out there, so I’m trying to provide a more specific approach and avoid adding just another gift guide. Today I’m providing gifts for (you guessed it) yogis, or those who practice yoga!

Yoga Outlet was actually kind enough to send me the Marika Kickit Legging, and I love them. They’re so comfortable and perfect for doing yoga, going for a walk, or running errands. Once they arrived, I put them on immediately and didn’t want to take them off! And Yoga Outlet is a great place. They have so many different yoga necessities, and some of the links in this post go to Yoga Outlet for that category. I really recommend them to anyone looking for good yoga clothing and accessories without breaking the bank.

    I absolutely love this! I really like the long tank tops for working out/barre classes. There is nothing worse than pulling at your clothes and missing part of the workouts!

This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣ ⁣ Yup This is the face of coronary artery disease⁣
⁣
Yup, I have heart disease. ⁣
⁣
I've mentioned this in bits and pieces over the last year, but in 2025, I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.To be clear, I have basically the lowest amount of artery calcification possible to still have heart disease, but I still have it. ⁣
⁣
Coronary artery disease is a complication of rheumatoid arthritis, as cholesterol can be increased by inflammation. As I hung around the border of coronary artery disease, I got COVID. ⁣
⁣
COVID is also an inflammatory condition, which is why research shows that COVID can increase risk of heart disease. ⁣
⁣
We're keeping an eye on it now, and increasing my cholesterol medication has helped keep my cholesterol down. Which is good because I already eat a pretty heart-healthy diet and exercise is tricky for me. ⁣
⁣
If you have an inflammatory condition like RA or Crohn's, you should know that that inflammation can contribute towards cholesterol levels and therefore heart disease, especially if you've had COVID (and every time you get it increases your risks). ⁣

“Why don’t you take having 10+ chronic illnesses m “Why don’t you take having 10+ chronic illnesses more seriously”Because I have a ridiculous number of illnesses. Anything over 7 feels made up. Like, obviously it’s not, but I’m up to 10. That’s a ridiculous number.⁣

What do you do during infusions?⁣ ⁣ With Rituxan, What do you do during infusions?⁣
⁣
With Rituxan, iron, and IVIG, I spend a lot of time in the infusion chair. That's a lot of time to kill!⁣
⁣
Here is how I spend that time: ⁣
▪ Read on my Kindle⁣
▪ Play games on my phone⁣
▪ Listen to audiobooks⁣
▪ Work - hey, I need all my PTO possible with my health issues. Sometimes I need to work during my iron infusions!⁣
