Boosting Your Confidence While Living With Alopecia

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous." ~ Coco Chanel

I am always told that I hide my Alopecia well, but living with Alopecia Totalis is not as easy as I may make it look. I do go through my ups and downs, but 95 percent of the time I am Golden! Some days I find it difficult to face the world when I'm not feeling or looking my personal best. This will be the other 5 percent when I am down. I always try to do things that will boost my confidence, make me love beautiful, and put me in that feel good mood. When you find that you are down, here are some things that you can do to boost your confidence:

• Read inspirational material
• Listen to some feel good music
• Call up a friend & only talk about positive things
• Have a mini-Glam makeover session 
• Buy a new lipstick or beauty item to add to your makeup stash
• Restyle your hair or buy some hair **The latter is addictive :-)
• Dress up in something glamourish & classy
• Do something that you enjoy and that will bring a smile to your face

Are You A Girl On Fire or Want To Be?

Oh, she got both feet on the ground, And she's burning it down, Oh, she got her head in the clouds, And she's not backing down

I cannot stop listening to "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys! This song is like an acknowledgement of the power I have to live my best life that God has given me. I had suffered depression in my early twenties because of having Alopecia, but I made a vow when I was 28 that I will no longer be controlled by this autoimmune disease. I am no longer a passenger in my life, I am the DRIVER. I choose to be happy and filled with joy everyday and there is no backing down from that!  Notice the word that is underlined and bold. You have a choice in the state of mind you want to be in. 

Sit back & watch the video below and really listen to the words and Be Inspired to Live Your Best Life!   

Have A Fabulous & Blessed Friday, Couture Beauties!

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Beyond October & Discounts

Breast Caner Awareness Month is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean the awareness ends completely. It's important to continue getting the message out that we need to find a cure and to support those who have & had breast cancer. I know that my Mother's breast cancer does not last for only a month, because she has been living with this disease for over six years. So let's continue our support!

Protecting Your Hairline When Doing Lace Wig Applications

Hi Couture Beauties!

This past weekend, I've been watching quite a few YouTube videos to keep up with the latest in lace wigs and hair. I watched a few DIY lace wig application videos, and I was quite alarmed on how many ladies were not protecting their hairline prior to applying the adhesive and tape. Protecting your hairline is THE MOST IMPORTANT step in the lace wig application process. If care is not taken to protect your edges, the glue and tape will lead to hair loss. 

Steps to Protecting the Hairline Prior to Application

1. Soak a cotton ball with alcohol and thoroughly clean your hairline. Let air-dry.
2. Apply two coats of scalp protector (see below for brands) and let it air-dry between each coat. 
3. When scalp protector is tacky to touch, then proceed with the adhesive and tape process

Types of Scalp Protectors

• Walker's Scalp Protector
• Liquid Bandage
• Ms. Lola's Skin Protector

**If you're extremely sensitive to the above products, you can opt for Ms. Lola's Colored Band-aids. These band-aids were designed to protect the hairlines. You will apply your adhesive and tape over the band-aids. 

When ordering your lace unit with Couture Lace Crowns, I will recommend that you add the scalp protector to your purchase. 

Let's keep it safe Ladies!
