Look Good...Feel Better...

Today I went to a special class sponsored by my Cancer Center and the American Cancer Society.

Appropriately called "Look Good, Feel Better"

And in the immortal words of Billy Crystal's Fernando...

"When You look good, you feel good.  Dahling you look Mahvelous!"

So I sat my little bald head down and learned how to use makeup to mimic the eyebrows and eyelashes I'm losing.

I learned about wigs and scarves and all sorts of great tricks to help make me feel better

and you know what?

I did...I felt better!

It was nice to sit with other women currently in Chemo.  Talking and laughing.  Well really...lots of laughing.  Because we are ALL RIGHT THERE.  

And we also got some great makeup kits to practice during class and take home.

Now I'm a huge sucker for any of those free gift with purchase deals in the makeup department.  So free make up?  BONUS!

Some pictures from today:

My Make-up Kit

Yesterday was a hard day.  My first day back to work post Chemo is rough.  I almost passed out just walking into the building.  I ended up leaving early because I just felt so tired and lightheaded.

By the end of the day you sometimes really start to doubt yourself, it just all feels so dark.

But with some laughter and a little make-up today...I'm beginning to see the light again.

And for that I am grateful.
