9-7 What you see

What you see depends on what you're looking for

Anonymous .

What do you see when you look in the mirror? How often do you look? Have you ever surprised yourself? Wig#2, In the photo's it looks different than what I think it looks like in the mirror. Same could be said for the top I'm wearing, it's pretty unflattering here but in "real time" I think it looks good.

8-29 More Food on the Brain

Still digesting (ha ha) as much information as I can about food plans and nutrition. I  have 100% control over what I eat so it makes sense to me that I have a lot of influence on the impact of my eating plan  as it relates to my treatment. Unfortunately the Docs don't talk too much about that relationship so I'm digging and questioning as much as I can. 


On another food note, I read this really interesting article about the mind/gut connection and how comfort food seems to activate a spot in you brain.

My wig is so shiny and clean and it smells like shampoo now instead of plastic. Like normal hair it has it's annoying bits. There are stragglers around the face. But for a good reason, a wig has to cover that little spot around you ear that is a bald alert. 

8-25 washed an ready

Here she is washed and ready. A quick soak in shampoo, long rinse and another soak in some conditioner. Air dry and comb out, it all falls right back into place. (It kind of smelled like plastic to me before but now it smells like shampoo)
Of course it is "special"  wig shampoo and conditioner and even a special comb but nothing compared to my former arsenal of hair products. 


I got 9 hours of sleep last night and I'm still tired. Half of my eye lashes have fallen out, my eyes seem red and puffy to me but that might be allergies? Hard to tell. 

8-23 Two in a Row

I'm wearing the same hair two days in a row. Think anyone will notice? 

I did add a pair of earrings, nothing dangly that might get caught! 

Most important wig rule; do not get near an open flame (no romantic candles, no fireworks, no cooking with gas, no fireplace, no BBQ's and I guess no smoking)

8-15 A good hair day

Felt like a  good day to try hair. 
Biggest rule to remember when wearing a wig; Don't Touch it!
I'll pretend I'm a movie star, ever notice how they don't really touch their hair, they maybe use the tip of their pinkie finger  to lift a strand away from their face.
