Five months deep, darlings, and the hairpocolypse is still raging.
But fear not, because your girl's been busy getting herself ultra healthy!
I'm still soaking up knowledge from the internet and my amazing friends, meticulously integrating new tactics into my routine. Keeping a detailed log and recording them in my Whoop journal helps me track their impact alongside my health data - gotta be scientific, darlings!
Doctors ✅, vitamins ✅, alternative therapies ✅ , healthy eating ✅.
And yes, I may have gotten a little carried away reading about Bryan Johnson's longevity quest, adding a few items from his regimen to my shopping cart but let's just say the grounding bed sheets were a scratchy, ineffective detour. Save your money, friends!
The best part? I even shed a few pounds and, dare I say, I'm feeling fantastic! So fantastic, in fact, that I updated my dating profile with some fresh pics and turned those swipes into actual dates!
An Italian stockbroker from Manhattan? Swoon!
A seriously studly construction guy? Don't mind if I do!
A hot Latin surgeon? Hold my mojito!
My trusty hair topper and I were on a mission, exploring the city and meeting fascinating people. And with the Florida heat finally simmering down to a balmy 87 degrees, pool parties became the new social norm. I also experimented with some more affordable hair extensions from Amazon that I could wear by the pool (totally worth it, by the way!) Feeling confident and rocking my new svelte figure, I soaked up the sun and made new memories with friends. Plus, with the "illness" supposedly nearing its end (5 months into a 4-6 month timeframe, you know?), I could almost taste the victory. It's just another month! I can survive anything for just another month. My mojo was definitely making a comeback!
Sure, why not?
Speaking of feeling good, a spontaneous decision to buy the house next door seemed like a perfectly reasonable undertaking! Needs to be remodeled? No worries! Like "really" remodeled? I got this! Move Mom over to be my neighbor? Absolutely! Why not? Let's give it a shot! Life's good, and I'm embracing it! Look at me! Weeeee!
And why did you write all this?
Just sharing that life just rolls on, full head of hair or not, and so does this blog (even though
writing it is using a whole part of my brain that I haven't accessed since college). I’m just staying the course in my wellness journey waiting this thing out, with an added emphasis on emotional well-being as another key to overall wellbeing (the smoldering latin surgeon doesn’t hurt either). I have to believe that surely this is the turning point! All systems are a GO for my hair to make its grand return, and I can't wait to share it with you.
Stay tuned, darlings, cuz the holidays are almost upon us and it’s time to rock the LBDs and make memories!
(My next blog also has my Halloween costume - a perfect holiday for wig wearers!)
