Nicole commented on Marilyn's blog post 'Bald Barbie'
I heard about this story early this morning. I think this will be an awesome product for Mattel to develop to bring more awareness to those who suffer from various forms of hair loss. The barbie will defiantly increase the confidence in little girls…
Nicole commented on Marieca's blog post 'It's not just about you'
My hair stylist was the first people to discover I had alopecia. When she was washing my hair, she told me I had a dime sized bald spot on the top of my crown and it was associated with alopecia. I never heard of the term before and when she…
Profile Information
- Relationship Status:
- Engaged
- About Me:
- I am a devoted mother of three precious babies. They are my world and keep me going nonstop. I have had all three stages of alopecia (areata, totalis, and universalis) since the age of 19. Right now, I am in the in-between stage of totalis and areata because my body cannot make up its mind on what it wants to do. That is the frustrating part of having alopecia. To keep myself busy, I am a full-time accountant, and I am in the process of learning how to design my own lace wig. I enjoy sharing my story with other people and helping them as well as myself achieve inner & outer beauty. Being positive and spiritual has helped me accept alopecia and allow it to run its course.

Hi Nicole sorry i'm responding so late to your comment. Thanks for checking out my blog I don't update it as much as I would like too :(. You have beautiful children by the way. I see you're engaged out of curiousity did you meet your hubby before or after you had alopecia? I ask bc thats a big concern for me.

Miho said… Hi Nicole. I just noticed that you left a comment for me. You have three beautiful kids. My kids are the one who keeps me going when I am felling down. I have recently separated myself from my husband, and now I think that my hair loss was a positive thing happend to me becuase I would still be in that awful marriage if I had not gotten alopecia. I do think that everything happenes for reason, and I think alopecia happned to me to finally open up my eyes to do something for me and kids.

- any time..any time.
I have those days and know that i'm supposed to be strong for myself.
It's our journey and no other shall ever understand, except for our friends here on Alopecia World.
I say, that I wish I would have understood my self when this all began.
From the time I was 14 years Old...all the heartache and self loathing could have possibly been lesser.
Yet..I am not going to destroy the rest of my wonderful life....so I am having to embrace my image and love myself.
Meaning..if there is no other who understands..who recognizes your pain..then we ourselves have to take control of our own feelings.
To look at what we are blessed with...and work hard on being strong.
I just thought ...why have I wasted my whole youth
worrying...devowering my own self worth and self esteem because others made it so difficult for me to deal with myself.
I even allowed another human being destroy my only Love.
Because I was so green..so supressed, I didn't listen to myself.Thought that my own opinions were worthless..I lost the only love I have ever known.Because I allowed someone else to perceive and judge my life..my relationship..and who I was.I should have had enough self awarness and to stand above all the negative ignorant judgements.This continues in my life from close family memebers..soooooooooo...I have to change my path and the way I feel about myself!"RIGHT"
When a person is so busy judging..it is impossible for them to see the real you.
So..you are Nicole..you were given that name and the right..the freedom to be whole...be happy in your life..and to be any other way would be robbing yourself from the gift of your HUMAN RIGHTS!

spaganya said… - Hey there - wondering what is your hair solution and where do you go up here in NoVA? im looking to get a good lace wig, but not spend more than $1000, being that ordering them online is only $500, but most salons will charge $1000 plus....?

your little ones too!
I have three grown babies and three grandbabies.
Two girls and one boy..and still more on the way when the time is right!
Don't let it eat you up too deep..cause look at what you have..a beautiful family and healthy kiddies!
The rest...will all fall into place.
Stand tall...stand strong...and keep smiling.
Cause it ain't gonna change any time soon..right.
So let's just try to accept our self and throw that negative judgement opinions and perception off our shoulders.
Our Human Right is to Feel whole and Free, to be who we are.
