Keep your pink ribbons!

Okay, So I ordered some eyelashes and glue from http://www.headcovers.com.  I have lost my eyelashes and am self conscious about it.  They arrived in rapid speed.  The product is exactly as I expected.  It may take a bit of time to get used to putting a strip of false eyelashes on.  Practice makes perfect.  It will get easier each day that I do it.  Once I get the hang of it I'll post a photo of the process. 

Overall I am happy with the lashes and the glue and the adhesive remover.  What got me started was the 6 inch long pink ribbon that come taped to the merchandise.  I opened the brown box to find my products inside and there it was.  Right on top of the packages all bright and pink and shiny.  It made me so mad.  My thoughts ran in a string like this.  "What the....  A pink ribbon,  they don't even know  what kind of cancer I have.  It is a head cover site.  What if I have alopecia?  What If I have lung cancer?  Okay, so I do have breast cancer.  Metastatic breast cancer.  There are no bright pink ribbons for a cure for me.  It will be my life from now on.  Wow, this is so in your face to all the other cancers that might be ordering from this company"  Those were my thoughts.  Then I thought this.  "Why would they promote the pink ribbon over other cancers?  Are they funded by Susan G Koman?  It weird right?  I'm just saying.......Keep your pink ribbon.

Micro blading when you have cancer.

Here is  what happened.   I lost my eyebrows to cancer treatment.  Over 6 plus years of multiple courses and  types of chemo's have prevented my brow hair from growing back.  Thanks to minoxydl, I have hair on my head and tho sparse, My lashes have returned.  I have told myself to be grateful for what I have.  Yet there has been this little part of me that feels less feminine without brows.  Less expressive, less myself.  Yes, I do draw them on, but that is such a ordeal.  I know, I know, First world problems, right.  Well, no brows is just  another insult to my scarred, breastless body.  I made a call a week ago to Chicago microblading, and spoke with a lovely woman named Tahm.  She asked what I needed this done, and I shared a bit of my cancer background and told her about being browless.  She shared the procedure process with me and then went over cost and care.  I told her  that with all the medical bills I just didn't think I could swing it now, but said If I were able to…

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
I want to …
