Hi girl, thankyou for the response. Your children are so cute. I'm a stay at home mom too. I have 2 little boys. They keep you busy. They are so much fun. I was wondering, how do you live with this without it controlling your life? I am have so much trouble just letting go and letting God take control. And just being able to accept all of this. You look so happy and positive in your pictures. I wanna be that way. Do you have any advice? Thankyou so much Erin
Hi, I am very new to all of this. I have been asking alot of people advice on wig. I have no clue where to start. Where did you get yours? I can't find anywhere around me that makes good custom wigs. So do you have the glue on eyelashes? I can't get mine to stay on. Thankyou in advance for your time!! Erin

Hey Jennifer! Wow...is that a wig in your photos?? I have been really considering getting the tatooed eyebrows too but just scared to death. Are the false eyelashes difficult to put on? Thank you for the information!
Hey Jennifer! I am Donna! How are you? Wow three little ones...1,2 and 3 years old! Wow!!! I have a 3 and 5 year old....thought I was busy....hahahah! Hope to talk to you soon :)
Hello Jennifer ,Nice to hear from you keep hoping and pray to Padro Pio maybe you`ll get your hair back someday, but they say you can get used to anything in time....... Lots of love
Hi Jennifer!! You are very pretty and you have a nice family? I read your blog about hats.....I have telogen effluvium and I lost a lot of hair..It´s very hard for me to go out now....sometimes with a hat but I don´t want to tell people what ´s going on with my hair... How did U deal that?Dis somebody ask U about your hair and wearing hats?
Hi Jennifer,
You have a beautiful family! I wish I had had my eyebrows tattooed way back when...I didn't have any eyelashes or eyebrows for years. They grew back when I was in my early twenties, I think it was. I have them both now, but haven't had a full head of hair since I was 8. I hope you're well.
Just read about you and just wanted to share something with you and ask you something. I also did my eyebrows and it made a HUGE difference to me. About my eyelashes I do not do anything about them. Where do you get the fake ones and how do you put them on? I know that will help me alot.
By the way, I also read your blog about the hair extensions, you do look great with them on. I have to wear a wig, and am very greatful we have them available, I have to get a new one, I ma starting to be the "ugly" one in the pictures and it is because of "my hair" it is indeed the frame of our face.
I see my hair growing back and have faith in my Almighty God it will re-grow and if it doesn't I pray my faith grows stronger. God knows why things happen.
Well just wanted to share that and hope to hear from you soon.
Hey glad to hear you finally got them done... as far as tattoos go, give them a little time to heal (at least 10-14 days I've found) and also dont forget sunscreen in the future since UV light breaks up the color pigment (but I'm sure you've heard that). They look great from what I can see in the picture and I wouldn't even guess they were tattooed. Its gotta be nice not having to worry about always drawing them on and worrying about them rubbing off.
Everything is going alright with me, just busy still but I guess thats life and I'll deal haha. Hope the family is doing well and everything else is good.
Hey how are you? I sorta lost track of time this summer and unfortunately one of the things that got cut off the things I do was this site. Nothings too bigs changed for me, not that I cant handle. But I'll try to get on more and get caught up with everyone except I'm so busy with school, work, and coaching. But I really hope everything is going alright with you, keep your chin up...
Hi Jenn,
Forgot to mention, my friend got her eyebrows done too. They look good. She had to do them twice because the color didn't take on her so she wanted them darker. She did have some swelling and scabs for a few days but she said it was worth it. Post your picture after you do it! Blessings!

Jenn,
Hi there! Ok on the wigs, I will keep you updated, I went to try on some "regular wigs" synthetic, and I hated them. But, I know people who like them a lot, so I think you need to try them on yourself and you'll see what I mean. I'm looking into a few places on the net that sells wigs and I'll pass to you the sites that I thought were good. I haven't ordered anything yet. Ok, there's www.invisiwig.com, www.kikiswigs.com, www.iwig.com, www.beautybymatt.com, and www.yourhairx.com. Check them out and let me know what you think if you like. You lucky your in California, there's got to be good places there, look them up on the net! Some places will even help you with cutting your wig and application. Let me know if you find anything. One more thing, my doctor told me not to use extentions with clips on the hair because it's too damaging and you have to let you hair heal, so maybe you should get a wig better than the hair clips. The wig is ok because it's not pulling on your hair and they have medical caps (lace) so your hair can breathe better too. Look it up on some on the sites that I gave you and they explain a lot of it there. Wish you well. Take care!

Hey darlin!
The hair is fine...I hardly ever wear it though. I rock the bandana about 95% of the time. I do still wear the wig sometimes when I go out though. I'm sorry bout your lashes. :o( Wear eyeliner instead of messing with those annoying fake lashes. My friend has AT and she wears eyeliner and you can't even tell she has no eyelashes. And as for the eyebrows...I say GO FOR IT!! :o) If I lose my brows, I'm totally gonna tattoo them. My right eyebrow is slowly starting to creep away from me...so we'll see!
