Hair issues are extremely common - we talked about suggestions for a variety of situations.

False lashes

  • Ardell makes easy to use lashes that won’t break the bank. Link here.
  • Cut them down one section so they’re not too long, use lash glue along the lashes but wait 15 seconds for it to become more tacky before application on your eyelid.
  • They can be found at many stores from Ulta to TJ Maxx. Their website currently has 20% off your first order.
  • Lash products- Grande Lash, Lash Boost and others on the can encourage growth of sparse lashes. (Brow Boost is also great for eye brows.)



Headbands can be a great way to tame hair during early regrowth.

Beyond Breast Cancer: Finding Strength & Purpose

By BRA Groups • November 4, 2026
Join us for an inspirational final BRA Banter conversation of 2026 as we hear from two of our very own BRA members, Sara Holt and Lenore Calhoun. Through their unique breast cancer journeys, Sara and Lenore have each faced challenges, discovered incredible inner strength, and found joy and purpose along the way. Though their diagnoses and experiences were different, their stories share a powerful common thread: resilience, hope, and a deep desire to give back and make a difference in the lives of others. Come be inspired by their courage, their perspectives, and the meaningful ways they have turned their personal experiences into opportunities to encourage and uplift others. Two journeys. Shared strength. A lasting impact.
