Our Mission

​Chronically Beautiful exists for the purpose of raising awareness for Chronic Lyme disease, infusing love into the lives of those who are suffering on any level, discovering beauty wherever it may be found, and ultimately reaching to God to find hope for healing!

"We can do hard things!"

Three years ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease.  After insubordinate amounts of pain and suffering, today I stand to share a worldwide message that healing is possible!  Throughout my journey, with the help of my determined and supportive parents, and a  loving God that guided my healing journey, I learned that my body is capable of healing itself, by itself.   Now I stand and share my story with you in hopes to bring hope for healing to those who feel like all is lost.  There is hope and happiness ahead.

Chronically Beautiful

Chronically Beautiful is my outlet, my story, and my source of hope for healing as I fight and heal from my chronic Lyme battle.  There are thousands of people throughout the world who suffer from this debilitating disease on a daily basis.  Chronically Beautiful is my cry for help and hope through love, spiritual support, beauty, inspiration, and more.  We all need support and love through difficult times and my plea is that we Lyme warriors stick together in the fight for healing.  I hope to inspire everyone around me through my writing and give you a belief that we all have a reason to fight.  My message to you is that there is always light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what you're going through.  And there is always beauty to be seen, even through the darkest of times.

My love and passion for food, and my quest to only consume the most nutrient dense food I can find is manifested through this blog!   I love baking, cooking, and eating all kinds of the most nutritious and delicious food!  This blog will feature all of my favorite tried and proven recipes, and all recipes published will be original and made with the most fresh and organic ingredients.  The special element in my food is that because refined processed sugar feeds cancer, bacteria, and toxins in the body, all of my recipes are made completely refined sugar free!  All food photographs featured on this blog will come directly from my kitchen and will be made with love!

I'm Claire Dalton, and This is My Lyme Life

I wanted to take some time to share my story.  I realize that I have my ABOUT page that gives a general idea of Lyme life, but I wanted to take a post and write about where I've been, where I'm at, and what I did to get some of my quality of life back.  You have all heard bits and pieces of my story with each post, but this post is from the beginning to now and I feel like it's really important to share our stories in order to spread awareness and give hope for healing.

"Other people are going to find healing in your wounds.  Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come our of your deepest hurts."
- Rick Warren 

When Endometriosis & Lyme Collide

​I've rolled these thoughts and experiences over in my head hundreds of times in an attempt to put words to such an experience.  I've pinched and prodded those memories in the back of my heart and mind that I've tried so desperately to forget in the passing of time.  And yet I can't manage to put words to it.  There are no words for such pain.  There are no words that could manage to make anyone who hasn't been through it themselves to quite understand the depths of the pain, and how it's left scars that I work so hard to heal on a daily basis.

This is my story of Endometriosis.  The more we share, the more we can care.

Defining "Illness"

It's time to define in real time what "illness" really is, and what it's really like to live with a chronic illness.  Everyone seems to have a perception of what a chronically ill person should look like or be like, but the reality is that there are no two chronically ill lifestyles that are alike, but that doesn't make anybody's pain or struggle less valid or less difficult.

Love and strength come from understanding and awareness of these kinds of suffering, and it's important that we all seek to send love to anyone who needs it.

Healthy Cinnamon Rolls!

Did you know that cinnamon can actually be used as a medicinal herb?  It can be used as an anti-bacterial, and it's also known to kill stealth bacteria in our bodies like micoplasma!  Who knew?! 

I have a lot of healthy recipes I've been trying lately that are going to go up on here soon, but I had to postpone all of those because this recent recipe I just made was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  This recipe taught me so much about clean eating and how you don't have to eat bad tasting food to eat clean.  These cinnamon rolls look, taste, smell, and make you feel amazing!

Banana Nut Muffins!

I recently had this major craving for banana nut muffins, and so these refined sugar-free delights were born!  These babies are made with organic, whole wheat flour.  And they are sweetened with organic maple sugar!  For those of you who don't know, maple sugar is basically just dried maple syrup, and so it's important that you find a brand that is 100% pure and organic so that we can stay away from extra additives and chemicals that are harmful to our bodies.  Otherwise, maple syrup is a sweetener that is full of nutrients that your body will love you for!  This is why maple sugar is a great sugar substitute and can be used for all of your baked delights!

Winter Peach Cobbler

This cobbler turned out delicious and is super easy to make!  It's refined sugar-free and and made with organic whole wheat flour!  It's also super versatile (most cobblers are), so it would be really easy to make this gluten free if you'd like that to be an option.  Simply replace the whole wheat flour with almond flour and your have your gluten free winter treat!  You can also top it with organic heavy whipping cream, or if you're dairy free you could top it with coconut cream for your finishing touch!

Natural Remedies for Lyme Induced Anxiety

Lyme spirochetes are spiral shaped bacteria that can drill into any part of your body and infect any organ system, including your nervous system.  When Lyme infects the nervous system this can be known as a neurological disorder that can cause many symptoms such as anxiety, depression, nerve pain, unpredictable rage, etc.  Since we're all biologically individual and different, this infection of the nerves can affect each person differently.  For me I experience intense anxiety, and although it has improved greatly since I was first diagnosed with Lyme, it is still a struggle and I have been on a long journey to find things to help remedy my pain.

Orange-Chocolate Body Butter

​I've been experimenting with lotion recipes for years now, and THIS ONE is my keeper!  It's so hard to find homemade lotions that aren't overly greasy and absorb into your skin easily.  But this recipe my friends, is perfect!  I use this lotion on my face in the morning and at night.  And I use it for dry skin and skin lesions brought on by Lyme.  It's very gentle on your skin, and it smells SO GOOD you'll be tempted to eat it!
