This morning i got up sprayed the bottom of my hair till dripping wet and poured about a loonie size amount of "CHI" rubbed in my hands then all over the bottom of my wig, when dry it looked brand spankin new ans smells…

I will never be okay losing my hair again. I refuse to accept it. Some days are better than others, but this is not me. I feel like a weird version of my real self. I am just so angry. Life is funny. You wake up one day and your hair is gone, but it takes months or years to grow back. Funny, funny, funny. I just booked a trip to LA and I dread going because I don't think I'll have a good time as I would if I didnt have to deal with this. I'm just so overwelmingly sad right now.

hey I am maryaddyson I am 15 and have had alopecia since november 2010 when I was first diagnosed i have never heard of alopecia and thought i must be really sick cause my hair keeps falling out. Now that i am about to be a sophomore in highschool i just feel depressed because while all my friends are out dating and going to summer pool parties i am at home trying to keep my secret. I cant swim because then i would have to take off my wig and everyone would see but now a lot of my hair has…

I was so happy about i'd say a month ago when i noticed fuzzies growing in. It grew in so nicely i actually had hair on my head i just looked like i had a buzz cut next thing you know 2 weeks later i wake up to a patch thinking oh lord please not again. I let it be, continued to let the hair grow and as time went on the patch on the side got bigger and bigger where i could no longer enjoy the freedom of going out and feeling great that i had hear and not to mention i had a small patch at the…

I had a dream a few days back, It started like any other of my dreams. Wierd and I had no idea what was going on but then it came into focus. I was at my Grandmas and I had just woken up or something like that and my sister told me that I had my hair back. I was overflowing in joy and rushed to the bathroom to bursh my hair. (I miss brushing it the most)Anyway as I'm looking in the mirror I see that my hair is Blond and I mean Harry potter Malfoy Blond. This for some odd reason doesn't…

I have been a busy bee these last couple of years. I started a federally recognized non profit organization for youth writers. I was laid off. I went back to school and completed the program with a 4.0 GPA. My first born graduated high school. Traveled out West for the first time last year and I will be going back again soon. Got certified as a Personal Trainer. Lost some weight. Hustling to pay bills off...it's working. Still married to the BEST man ever, he's so sexy:) Being mommy and…

Honestly, she is amazing! When I told her about my alopecia diagnosis, she told me we were together in dealing with it.

She bought me clip in extensions that are red and blue to show me that while I still have some hair, I can be stylish. She listens to my fears and complaints with no judgment. She buys me cards telling me I am beautiful. She texts me words of encouragement. She bought me a little donut looking thing that I thought was a shower body scrubber and it turned out to be a…

I recently traveled to my hometown for my nieces’ graduations. I had a blast! I was a bit nervous because this would be the first time most of my family (besides those who have seen my Facebook picture) would see my shaven head.

I walk through the door and my Dad doesn’t say a word. His wife, on the other hand, looks at me and says, “Sheila, we’ll go through my bag of wigs in the morning.” Nice to see you too, I thought. The next day she grills me about doctors, shots, and Rogaine.…

Thursday (June 21st) I went to work with my hat on as usual, but something in me wanted so much to take the hat off and wear my baldness. I confided in one of my co-workers how much I wish I had the nerve to take my hat off, because you see I wear my baldness out in public but just can't seem to do it at work. Well, my co-worker ask may I see your hat? I took it off and gave it to her, she put it in her drawer and locked it. She said now go back to your desk with your head held high. Now, I…

When one finally loses all his magical figures that he is taught to worship from age one then you become sane reasonable person. The first magical creatures to go and that you believe commit miracles are the Easter bunny and Santa Claus, so much gives them away too many seen at the Mall and all too fat to get down a chimney, and as for the rabbit with food the way it is you know its dead before he gets to the first house. Now just…

i think it just found the most comfortable eyelashes. I cant even feel them. They're Ardell Professional Self-Adhesive #110S from Sally's Beauty Supply. I have never used the self-adhesive eyelashes so i'm not sure how long they will last. We will see how long the self adhesive stays sticky.

Don’t Let Depression Destroy Your Relationship

[I think sometimes we get caught up so much in our own "stuff" that we forget others want us to be vibrant, present and exciting for THEM. They often do not know what to do when WE are ocupied by thoughts, and they just bail out rather than wait, talk or admit their own feelings...especially males who are confounded by females, impatient or judgmental. This article may apply to those alopecians obsessed with and depressed…

From CNN report today:

Watch out for the 2012 'Dirty Dozen'

Apples and celery are still agriculture’s dirtiest pieces of produce, according to the Environmental Working Group’s annual “Dirty Dozen” report. The report names the fruits and vegetables ranking highest in pesticide residue.

Cucumbers were added to the 2012 Dirty Dozen, while Kale and collard greens were moved from the list to join green beans in a new…

"The phrase “Once upon a time” promises something: a story of adventure and romance, a story of princesses and princes. It may include tales of courage, hope, and everlasting love. In many of these stories, nice overcomes mean and good overcomes evil. But perhaps most of all, I love it when we turn to the last page and our eyes reach the final lines and we see the enchanting words “And they lived happily ever after.”

"Isn’t that what we all desire: to be the heroes and heroines of our…
