A lil update - my lashes are finally going

SO my lashes are finally going. I say finally like I was expecting this. In many ways, I was. And in many others, I was hoping that they would at least stay because knowing myself, I knew I would have to learn how to finally apply false eyelashes and man am I having a hard time with it. It was funny when I couldn't get them to look even!One up, one down! So anyways, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it and am not as panicky when I apply them. If not, I find drawing on a thick line, disguises my gappy lashes pretty well. But I love dressing up and ever since have Alopecia, I find myself playing with make up a lot more.

Other than that, I haven't seen any regrowth since my bf last shaved my hair off a few months back. Hmm, I've made peace with that I guess. Although at times I still feel like there's an alien looking back at me especially when I don't have my wig on and eyebrows drawn. Luckily for me, my man doesn't care and is still super encouraging about it all. He just wants me to be comfy at home so doesn't mind one bit. There are still days when I feel down about myself but mostly I'm pretty happy and I'm no longer afraid to share with my friends or if people ask me if my hair is fake (very rare! mostly, if I have super long hair wig on, they think it's been professionally straightened). So in all, life is ok. I'm trying to stay positive and I don't plan on letting this get me down, at least for too long!

I love your great attitude and I am pretty sure attitude is everything in life. You will become a pro with the fake eyelashes, my daughter has. Her friends line up so she can help them put theirs on. She said one of the girls in her group asked her how she got so good at putting on lashes and she said "really, I was inches from her face and she didn't notice my tattood eyebrows on no lower lashes." People that are not looking for it just look past it.

Thanks for your encouraging words Karen! I do hope to become really good at applying false eyelashes too.
