I Am a Bag Lady!

This is what my husband said last night, when I hung my hundred-and-first handbag/purse on the hall hook and the whole darn overloaded rack got torn out of the wall, and landed on the hall floor with a great bang.

Nope, not this…I had more than one bag on it…

 

Sorry rack, sorry screw plugs, sorry wall! :D

His statement (and the mishap) got me thinking:

Maybe, maybe there is a little chance that I have a bit too many bags.

Maybe I am a bag hoarder.

I burn for new bags, I can not resist buying them as soon as I see one I really like, but there is more:  I just can not throw away the old and broken ones, which results in multitudinous reticules, cases, bags and purses in our hallway. Note that I can not put them away to a storage either, I need to be able to see them, so I can match them to my outfit daily.

 

Maybe I am a maniac. A bag maniac.

 

But come on, it is not that bad, is it? It could be much-much worse than this…

My next challenge for the very near future is to get rid of some of my old, broken bags.

Gosh, I have no idea how I am going to choose. It is like choosing away your children, isn’t it?

What do you think? Do I have a problem? Or are you obsessively collecting stuff too? Like shoes? ;) Please tell me!

Hair loss and hair replacement

My husband is getting bold loosing hair…

As a matter of fact, his hair is going white. And this disturbs me. To be honest, it makes me feel older. Just because my husband is loosing hair and getting grizzled.

I know…There are much worse things in life, like getting seriously sick or so…

Fact (as hair clinics see it): although over 40% of the men begin to loose hair in their early 20’s it doesn’t mean thinning hair or baldness is inevitable. The most important is the early identification of the causes of the hair loss problem, so the treatment can begin as soon as possible.

Fact (as I see it): although these 40% of the men are aware of the possibility of hair replacement, either they don’t believe it, they find it too expensive, too painful, not effective enough, or just simply don’t care about it.

Doing research on hair transplant and how it is made, and actually watching Jon do it from Jon & Kate Plus 8, shocked me. They are removing a slice(s) of the scalp from the back, extracting the hair with the roots from it, sticking holes on the bald parts, and plant these hair straws in those holes like flowers.

Jon’s hair transplant

 

After all, it may be so, that my husband is right:

“Loosing hair or getting white does not hurt, so why on Earth would I care?!?”

 

How do you feel about your loved one getting bald or white? Do you find it hard to accept it, or do you think that it is part of our lives, part of getting old, part of our maturity?

I would love to read your thoughts on hair loss! Please share them below!
