About Me:
I'm a 35 year old mom of one daughter Shelby, 8 yrs old. Been in a relationship for 19 years with the same lazy man! (Shawn)
Oh, the potential the have in their 20's.(He just turned 40 this week.) My daughter is the most beautiful kid in the world! (sorry to all the mom's out there who have givin thier kids the same title) lol. We have 3 bad dogs who we love to death,
Maui, Squirt, and Rylee. I have a very rare syndrome called Rothmund Thompsom (RTS). I had hair until I got bone cancer when I was 19, but since chemo it is all gone. I never had eyelashes or eyebrows, no body hair at all, so all you ladies that have to shave, hahaha!
I have been wearing wigs for 16 years now and they suck for the most part, but i can't afford much so always end up with a crappy cheap old thing that last 3 months but i still wear it for 12 or so months. One day I will try to get one of those lace top human wigs. So that is me in a nut shell, feel free to add me as a friend or leave me comments would love to make some friends. Cheers!

    Hi there. Thanks for all the information on Dying my hairpiece that is all good stuff to know and will save me a TON of money. I do have another question do you know any hairpieces that are light to wear meaning not feeling so heavy on your head and that dont feel so thick? My human hair wig is made by wigpro and it is so heavy and hot. I am thinking of just getting a synthetic one but not sure which is a good brand or style. I am so new to all of this, plus I rarely wear my human hair wig just because it seems so heavy and thick. I appreciate all of your input and sorry this is long! Thanks Laura

    Follea wigs are top of the line wigs and are sold at alot of good wig salons. Freedom wigs are vacuum wigs...they stay on through anything and if you like your hair a little longer you can wear it up in a mid up do like a claw clip.. I think you should be able to see them at www.freedomwigs.com or google them. there's a dealer for every area and my dealer is at www.newlifehair.com.
