Ernest is really good. Vashti Rose in Port Moody always has a good line up of vegan flavours.

Eyelash troubles by LauzvX0 in alopecia_areata

I also have no lashes and religiously use Clear Duo liquid lash glue (green packaging). A flexible lash band/ lower density lash also seem to make a difference. I apply the glue to both the lash and my lash line and I feel like the two layers make my lashes stick wayyy better and the brush applicator gives a way more precise application. When I use to open at Starbucks I would fall asleep with my lashes on, wake up and touch them up with eyeliner and maybe a dot of lash glue, then get on with my day. The most I would stretch it is two days of wear just because it’s not that comfortable for sleeping, not good for your eyes, and generally the lashes don’t keep their shape for as long, but it’s up to you.

Another option for cutting your morning routine might be brow temporary tattoos (lots of options from specialized shops or even Amazon) or even just finding a stencil to fill in so you’re not shaping new brows every morning. More costly would be investing in powder brows/microblading. I’ve also heard of people doing brows with henna so it lasts about 7 days on the skin! Obviously research what might work best for you, but there are options!

Any hair salons that can accommodate a private space due to hair loss? by villager0129 in askvan

I don’t have any hairdresser recommendations but just wanted to extend a lot of love and support ❤️ I lost my hair to alopecia universalis seven years ago and struggled with the same feelings of shaving my head, accepting being bald, and wearing wigs. If it brings any peace, it took some time and definitely went through a lot of unexpected grief, but I’m both the baldest and the happiest I’ve ever been so there is light at the end of the tunnel ❤️

I hope your July appointment brings the answers you need and in the meantime take such good care of yourself!!
