Amazingly, throughout all the stress that finals bring, I have spent 37 whole frickin' days without pulling! 37! I've never felt better about myself. My pull-free bracelet is still a broken fake Pandora chain with a couple of charms and lots of ring pulls on it, but it's having its effect on me!
Last week I decided to tell another friend about my trich and about how I was recovering, just to get it out bit by bit (she's the artist that drew the amazing picture that is my header) while out partying and she made me feel really good about myself!
Here's a picture of me with Nati last week, to make up for the fact that I can't find my camera to take progress pictures haha :) (sorry for the strange face)
I'm so proud that I don't have to wear eyeliner anymore for fear of looking weird, and sooner or later I believe I'll learn to live without mascara!
And to end, a bundle of questions I've been dying to ask and I hope one of my readers may know!
1) A good water-proof mascara recommended for trichsters? They are really limited here and I'd love to get myself a worthy one for this summer!
2) How does trich mix with wearing contacts? I'm going to start for the first time this summer and I'm really worried that having my hands near my eyes for other purposes may make me wanna pull.
3) Sunbathing and eyelashes: now I have a nearly full set of lashes I want to keep them looking good. I plan to sunbathe a lot this summer because I'm currently as pale as a ghost, but I don't want my lashes to look any clearer...any tips?
Love to all my readers, never ever give up!
