We love our fellow ChronicBabes!

The Editrix

Why? Because they email us just to say hello. Because they send care packages with fun makeup samples. Because they care about recycling prescription bottles. Because they understand us. Because they write passionate pleas for change. Because they know they’re beautiful even when they’re in pain, under treatment, on disability, and always. We love all our fellow ChronicBabes because no matter their illness, they’re still hotties!

Dear next Prez: Fix health care!

Vote

Today is Super Tuesday, and we hope you’re rocking the vote. Primaries matter, Babes! One of the most important issues for the next President is the task of fixing our broken health care system, so Jenni wrote an open letter to our next Prez. We encourage you to do your homework and make your voice heard—and your vote count!

What's on our plate?

What we're up to lately...

Oh Babes, you know what we’re up to at ChronicBabe HQ: packing. Editrix Jenni and hubby Steve move back home to their rebuilt condo on February 25, and there are a bazillion final touches and errands to run before they’re ready. It’s been a crazy six months since the storm hit, but we’re almost home, and we love all the support you’ve provided during this incredibly tough time. Much love and thanks!
