It’s been a very LONG time since I’ve written an FAQ post. Probably two or three years!

Since I get many of the same questions each day, I wanted to pop on and answer some FAQs for you!

I love connecting with my readers and answering questions, so feel free to ask me anything too 🙂

Did You Take Medication for RA While Pregnant?

I get this everyday on Instagram. No, I chose not to take anything during pregnancy for arthritis. You can read more in this post!

Are You Breastfeeding?

Yes, we still are! It has been a journey for sure. I will be sharing more details about this later on.

How Long Have You Had RA?

22 years now. I was diagnosed at 10. 

How Long Have You and Your Husband Been Married?

It was 11 years this past July. 

How Old is Ruger?

4.5 years old! He will be 5 in March? Can’t believe it. 

Did You Always Want to Be a Chemist?

Not at all lol! I used to want to be a vet when I was younger. Then, I wanted to be different types of scientists. In high school, I wanted to be an architect. I was so close to going to school for that too. I was accepted into Texas Tech, had my classes, dorm room, and roommate all ready to go. At the last minute, I applied to Tarleton State and went with chemistry since they didn’t offer architecture!

Do You Workout?

I get asked this multiple times a day on social media! I really love exercising, but now that I am a mom it has changed a bit. Walking is my favorite form of exercise. It is gentle on my joints too. I do home workouts and go to the gym when I can. I love pilates too! I have to be careful about workouts with rheumatoid arthritis.

Is it Hard Working From Home and Being a Mom Too?

Yes, it is challenging! I do most of my work at night now (which is so unlike me usually). My mom also comes over on the weekends to help me out too. 

Have You Always Been Into Healthy Living?

Off and on I have been, but not full on until I was in my mid 20s or so. After my husband went through his health crisis in 2010, that really sparked an interest to get more serious about it.

Where Are You From?

I grew up in a small little Texas town, Stephenville. 

Have You Always Lived in Texas?

No, my husband and I lived in San Diego for many years. We live back in Texas now though 🙂

What Part of Texas Do You Live?

Texas is big, so I get asked this a lot! We live near the Fort Worth area.

What Do You Do For Fun?

Now a days, sleep! Haha I love being home, watching movies on my husband’s day off. Being outside and taking walks as a family. I also love getting a massage and a facial occasionally 🙂

What’s Your Favorite Subject to Write About on Chemistry Cachet?

Oh man, this is a tough one because I love ALLL the topics. I think skincare is probably my favorite. I love testing new things, researching, and finding new material for my readers in the skin genre 🙂 But I really enjoy all the subjects!

Okay, those are my most recent FAQs! I hope you enjoyed it! Please let me know if you have any other questions. You can leave a comment below or email alexis @ chemistrycachet.com
