Getting Wiggy With It

I've been waiting for the wigs from one of my best friends who's California-based. She told me she would send me a couple, through a friend who was flying to Manila. I finally got them today! 

I've never ever worn a wig before, not even as part of a costume. So I was kinda excited to try them out. I opened the box and the first thing I noticed was the color --- I fell in love! I hoped at least one of them would look good on me. 

Wig #1 - it's a bob, but the sides are longer than the back part

Wig #2 - has more pronounced layers, but my issue with it is the top part, which I think has too much volume, it looks bulky. Don't you think? I hope my hair stylist can do something about this because I also like this hairstyle.

Most of my friends on Facebook chose wig #1 and so did I. 

Here's what it looks like with the proper lighting

I really appreciate the fact that the colour (highlights) looks soooo good!

Do you agree with the majority about wig #1? 

Just an added note ... I know a lot have told me that I look okay even without a wig. Here's the thing ... while I'm extremely flattered, I know for a fact that I can't walk around bald all the time. There are certain occasions when wearing a wig will be called for. I've also realized that no matter how impolite it is, people WILL STARE. I'm guilty of doing this sometimes --- who isn't? And no matter how happy or positive I am about my situation, I get annoyed when people stare. I know because I've had my share of weird looks. Remember that I'm also peri-menopausing. I wouldn't want to lash out at anyone in public for staring at me and end up in a cat fight. LOL.

How did the start of your week go?

Coming Soon : my head gear!

Call me excited, but I have reason to be. My Super Friends (referring to my closest group of friends --- close to 3 decades together) have decided to buy me wigs and bandanas. More than one wig haha! I don't even know if I'm going to prefer wearing one over a piece of cloth, but seeing that they're really in this ride with me, I'll do it for them. 

Here's what's coming, all ordered from this website : TLCdirect.org

The one I chose from all those in the website is this

Mine will not come in this color, of course! :D I chose Sunkissed Brown, if I remember correctly.

The head scarves are cute. I wanted a plain one too but didn't find one in a color I like. I've been told to go to Rustan's to look for more head scarves. But I'm just too lazy to go around and look. I'd rather stay at home and continue to recover in time for chemo. (As I type, my left arm/armpit area has become even  more challenging to deal with.)

It's too bad we don't have too many people selling items targeted towards cancer patients. The market has grown and continues to grow steadily (sadly, but this is reality). Unlike in the US where most clinics even have huge bins filled with freebies like pins, caps, scarves and what nots.

If anyone of you has any suggestions on where to find these types of merchandise, please feel free to share your thoughts and information here. 

I forgot to say that I have a total of THREE wigs coming my way. Yes, THREE.

My friends are really going all out for me! XOXO!!!
