Ordered a Bohyme lace front wig

I had my first wig salon visit and oh my how expensive a good wig can be! The stylist recommended a $1500 european virgin hair wig for me but right now it's not an affordable option. What I did get to see is the french lace aka french top aka skin top aka invisible knots aka injected hair (so many names for the same thing). Anyway the french top is amazing, it's where they do a layer of lace, tie hair to it then pull the hair through another layer of lace so you don't see any knots and it gives… Continue

Hair Don'ts

This is not the first time my hair has caused me trouble. That happened with my best friend, Libby Wyatt. She was just my age and lived down the street from me. I remember we had matching red shoes...little Mary Janes with a t-strap and 3 petal cut-uts at the toe. I still have a pair of that type of shoe...now they have high heels and are more maroon than red, but everytime they come back into fashion I buy a pair! I don't know where she is today...or if she's still buying those shoes as… Continue

today is a reeeeealy bad day

Hey. Just having a really bad day. I bought a topper and planned to start wearing it over the holidays. To this point I have been able to cover my hair loss patches although you can tell my hair is thinning (it's been about a year of steady thinning and small patches. I have Lichen Planopilaris (scarring alopecia). Well, I had a stylist thin it and she did it too much. Now it sort of looks like a chia pet in spots. No wearing that on Monday to work! Anyway, I've been crying all day and the… Continue

So Proud

The other day I called Bradyn over to put her foam on her spots before bed. She looked at me and said " I will do it myself". She put the foam on her hands ( I know that its supposed to go either right on the spot or in the cap so it wont melt but shes five Im not going to push the issue) and puts the foam everywhere where she has had hair loss. I was so proud of the fact that here she is at 5 and is taking control of her treatment. :)

Sometimes LOL is inappropriate

Like earlier when I posted a blog about my husband not being motivated to take control of his life and being skeptical that he's going to succeed and I 'LOLed' it off. Well I just published his second video on youtube (I never watch them first and he does one take no edit) It's worse that I thought, the man is practically giving up. How do I motivate that? How do I stay motivated myself at the same time?
ARGH

another spot

i found another spot today so i don't really want to write much - i feel very powerless that's basically it -i am angry and sad and i feel powerless- some part of me is trying to make this ok- some things outside of this are ok in my life- other things suck - just like this - but this hurts so much -

it just seems like no one understands - if i hear from one more person that at least i don't have cancer or didn't lose my arm or leg i think i am going to freak out-

Hopes for 2009

OK - I haven't been on AW for a while now, mainly for two reasons. The first is mainly due to the fact that I can't seem to come here without having some perv think my bald head is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Although it's great that someone thinks I'm drop dead gorgeous, they don't seem to get the idea that one day my hair may come back and they will no longer find me attractive. Besides, since when was love all about being physically attracted to someone, there's gotta be more than… Continue

Super Excitement!!

I know I know I haven't been around a lot lately ... I'm going to make an honest effort to try harder in 2009. I'm SO SO excited for this new year - I feel energized. Plus I'm ready to reveal my exciting stuff.... *drum roll*. I have convinced my husband to really dedicate to weight loss *claps*. In fact we've even started a youtube channel that will track our progress. I'm thrilled that he's agreed to this, because making a public announcement of your goals is proven to increase success rate.… Continue

A Madwoman

The last few nights I've been having vivid dreams in which my hair (slowly disappearing) takes some dramatic way of falling out. Each time it's different, but each time it's horrible. It has been bumming me out, so I decided to be prepared. I went to Ebay last night and bought (actually, bid on auctions in their last seconds) two short dark, brown wigs, not unlike my current hair cut. They were REALLY cheap ($20 each delivered to my doorstep). I really have no intention of wearing them, but I… Continue

Wigs for strenuous exercise?

My life has been finally calm and I have been using the time to just relax. University is done until my exchange and I passed all of my classes. The other day I took a huge leap and cut off my 30cm long pony tail of hair. I'm saving it to see what wig color will match best. So right now I have a really funny haircut... as all my mom did was cut the pony tail off from the highest part of my head.



But I have a real dilemma... I play soccer competitively and I do not know how to cover… Continue

Starting 2009



Here's me starting off 2009 with a growing bald patch. This patch was already treated with squaric acid and injections a month or so ago....but it looks like some more hairs have fallen out. And there's another small patch I have up near my forehead that seems to be growing. Ugh.



I'm going for a haircut and color tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to blend the bald patches in....again. *sigh*



What a wild goose… Continue

Hi guys, it's Carmella, remember me? I'm the bald one with the sassy attitude ... oh right - I don't stand out that way here ... hehehehe. I'm the one who thinks that sunglasses = love, in that case.

Thank you all so much for staying my friends and not giving up on me when I went AWOL. I appreciate all your lovely comments and messages even when… Continue

Groovy Twenty Oh Nine!

Kelowna isn't really what i thought it was going to be... but I'm here nonetheless. I'm actually debating about moving on in a couple of weeks if work doesn't pan out here. I'm a little short on rent and won't be seeing anything coming in til at least next Friday so... oh well - life goes on.

I was trying to put together an entertainment magazine but it's hard getting people in this city interested in advertising in it... plus I seem to be the only one who goes out all the time! heh heh. I… Continue

New Year 2009 Gift of Bounty

The morning sun crept over the Three Sisters peak of the Gabilan Mountains and shone down on a glorious New Year's Day gift for Quicksilver Farm: Two Navajo Churro lambs stood heathy and strong next to their mother. One is pure white, which is good if it's a female because I need more white wool for the fabulous rugs I'm crafting, and the other is Three Grey Hills, which means it has what looks like a white skullcap on an all-black body. (Perhaps it has alopecia under the cap?)



These… Continue
