4 months of hair growth! *technically 3 months but my last chemo was Dec 14, 2018! January 13 ➡️ April 21 (I should have kept taking progress pics in May and June but I got lazy and life got busy 🤷🏻‍♀️) When I was still bald, I gave myself daily scalp massages with @sagewellness peppermint oil 🙏Once I actually had enough hair to start using shampoo again, I started using @sheamoisture Jamaican black castor oil shampoo with apple cider vinegar and peppermint oil 💕 I’m also still taking 10,000 mcg of biotin everyday to help with growth. I occasionally take breaks from the biotin to give my body a break but it’s probably not necessary. I also sometimes do coconut oil hair masks to make sure my new growth is nice and nourished 🌱✨

Hi!💧Just a friendly reminder to drink some water 💦 Your body will thank you✨
Chemo did a number on my brows. They just never grew back to be as full as they used to be (and I’ve been feeling really insecure about it 😩). So today I drove all the way to @studiosashiko to have my brows saved by @chaybrows 😍 I’m totally in love!! They are a little warm toned right now because they are fresh... but they will turn more cool toned as they heal. I’m also going back in 2 months for a touch up to add some more dimension. But in the meantime, I’m OBSESSED. And it hurt way less than I expected! Thank you so much Chay 🥰🙏

A lot can change in a few months 🙈 (shout out to @anastasiabeverlyhills dipbrow pomade for giving me brows during this trying time🙏😂). Yesterday was #nationalcancersurvivorsday and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a survivor. With every month that goes by, I feel so much gratitude that the worst is behind me. But, I don’t ever expect life to return back to “normal”. The threat of cancer never truly goes away. The fight never really ends. The act of “surviving” continues on long after the initial battle is won. But, it’s still important to look back at how far you’ve come and how much you’ve grown. As @crazysexykris says, cancer has been my guru. It’s taught me so much about myself, my loved ones, and about life itself. I’m grateful for my experiences because it’s made me the person I am today 💕💪🏼
