I had a day in between where I thought the symptoms had subsided, but alas, they are back. Whenever I have these days where I feel like death, the icing on the cake is looking exactly as I feel.

I decided it was about time to answer all of your questions in one, fun blog post! Over the past few years I have received emails and Facebook messages with some really great questions, and I figured, if one person is curious, others might be, too! Don't worry, I've left them anonymous. Just a heads up- these are mostly adult-related questions, so wait for a later post to readhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/PoqBx/~3/af356UTJmdI/adult-q.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kayla's Corner)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/PoqBx/~4/af356UTJmdI" height="1" width="1"/>http://kaylamartellscorner.blogspot.com/2012/02/adult-q.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568454481966640937.post-8103292165756093318Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +00002012-02-13T10:22:33.509-05:00When a woman loses her hair, she has a big initial decision to make, regardless of her circumstance. Should I buy a wig? If you decide- yes - I suggest your first step be to figure out your price range and decide how much you would like to spend on a piece. Every woman's circumstance is different- if you are going through chemotherapy, you may not want to make a large investment in a hair piece,http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/PoqBx/~3/vP5etx_2Qzg/synthethic-vs-real-hair-part-one.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kayla's Corner)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/PoqBx/~4/vP5etx_2Qzg" height="1" width="1"/>http://kaylamartellscorner.blogspot.com/2012/02/synthethic-vs-real-hair-part-one.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568454481966640937.post-6280279762103358708Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:00:00 +00002012-02-07T20:41:30.347-05:00I haven't purchased a doll in such a long time! But, I do know there are many options out there for young girls to choose from. You have Bratz dolls (ironically named), Princess Diana dolls, and now maybe even Kardashian dolls. Little girls love to have a doll that resembles who they want to become, or someone they love and admire.

And, in a previous blog entry I mentioned that while in college, I attend the first day of every semester without my wig for a variety of reasons.

But, I won't hesitate to share when I notice any loss of my eyebrows or eyelashes! Eyebrows really are the frame to your face, and without them, I usually feel a little incomplete- visually, that is! I have tried all sorts of products, and I am certain that many of you have, too.

I have been moved to, yet again, veer away from the planned topics after receiving a new message this weekend. A mother of the most adorable little girl sent me a message which conclusively brought me to tears.

I hope you had a safe and joyous holiday season. Kevin and I stayed home for new years eve and made a yummy dinner with lobster and steak. Christmas, of course, flew by way too fast! But, it was nice to be home for a few days. Now that we have entered a new year, I imagine the resolutions for the new you have already ensued.

I have some great posts coming up for you all in the new year- including a few fun tutorials! But, for this week I thought I would reflect on the holidays and some of the recent messages I have received. With the support work I do for women with hair loss, I receive quite a few messages each day.

And although I do love the wigs I have now, I actually attend the beginning of each semester without my wig. This way, I have the option to come to class with or without it at any point, without the weird stares.

I had a completely different post in mind for this week. Then I received a message from a woman, which sparked an all-new topic!

But, I have learned a thing or two over the past twelve years! So I thought I would answer some of your frequently asked questions as best I can!

She imagines the church, the flowers, the beautiful white dress... And so she sets out to find the perfect one of each of those. For me, it wasn't much different after Kevin proposed.

I hope you are staying warm today, wherever you are because it is cold here in Washington, DC! In a few days, I will be on a plane headed for the Bahamas and I cannot wait to warm up!

I know one of my biggest priorities when I began looking at pieces was that it looked natural. Otherwise, I didn't think it was worth a penny!
