Taking back control...

I was very surprised to see that people noticed I haven’t been on here in like a week. My grandmother owned a cottage (and four more she rented out as a small business) on the river up here and so every three weeks my family gets to stay (the other two weeks my dad’s two brothers get to keep it fair). It was nice to enjoy the nice weather we’ve had. And then on Thursday I turned 21 and somehow (I don’t know how) survived the night with my friends.



So where to start on all that’s… Continue

The Great British Body has Alopecia!

Thank you for all your lovely comments about the show and I do hope that everyone will get an opportunity to see it at some point. The wonderful thing is that I was selected as The Great British Body!! A naked human sculpture on the Sussex Downs was in the shape of my body and when I took my wig off - everyone who represented my hair stood up and walked off!! How cool is that!

A new beginning

I took the step last night and shaved my head. The barber was great. She bushed my hair down as far as the clippers would go, then gave me some tips on shaving the rest.

Head held high, I left the shop, then stopped to pick up some new blades for the razor. What a great feeling to be confident once again.



The shave was… Continue

The only constant is change

A calendar hangs on the fridge for the family’s activities. A new pencil was hung at its’ side earlier this year in anticipation of the inevitable frenzy of the approaching summer. A selection of colored pens were gathered and placed into a nearby drawer. Out of quick reach, the pens are intended for events such as birthdays, holidays, graduations and the like whose important dates are set in stone.

How do you get a closer shave?

I have (had?) dark hair and very light skin.

My AA patches are many and they are big, so I've taken to shaving my head, but I don't like the look of dark stubble in the places where I do have hair?

Are there tricks to getting a closer shave?

I tried nair once, but ended up with an icky rash, I guess my skin was too sensitive.

Help?
