    • About Me

      I suffer with TRICHOTILLOMANIA ...i pull my eyebrows, eyelashes & sometimes my scalp hairs... I also suffer migraines, nail biting & stress/anxiety... I've sinced used talika products to stop pulling which has helped with the re-growth. For my nails, I have been wearing acrylics for about 6 months so I dont bite and enjoy the beauty. I'm 23, married and happy to be overcoming my diseases.
