Nicole Paxson Cosmetics

What wonderful things we can do!!!  Nicole Paxson (Lupus Butterfly) has created a cosmetic line that protects our sensitive skin.  As you know, many of us that have Lupus are very sensitive to sunlight, and some have painful and irritating rashes.  Nicole Paxson dedicated her life to creating products that are tailored to the need of Lupus patients.  For this we should be grateful.  I will definitely place an order very soon.  Also, a percentage of her proceeds go towards Lupus research.  How Amazing!!!  


Thank you Nicole
