HEALTHY LYF: Abby Asistio Rising From Alopecia Areata With NovuHair

Many would know Abby Asistio as a singer, songwriter and TV host but they would have never knew that she has been suffering Alopecia Areata most of her life which has one way or another affected her confidence and the way she has to confirm to conceal her condition. But despite this hair disability, she proved and went on to be successful in music and entertainment.

“I went through a lot of tough periods in my life. Growing up, I accepted the fact that I could never meet that standards set by the world when it comes to beauty. If I were to even fit in and be considered normal, I must resort to hiding under hats, bandanas and my ever reliable wigs,” said Abby.

REEL DEAL: X-Men Days of Future Past REVIEW

Bringing the X-men Trilogy, First Class, and Wolverine movie series together is what people have been waiting for. X-Men Days of Future Past is worth the wait after the series has gone through the meticulous reviews of movie buffs and comic geeks. 

With a powerhouse cast and most of them are award winning actors, beyond the mutant powers is the powerful smorgasbord of acting prowess that gets all the emotions running plus the action and great effects a feast for the viewers.

New mutants also are seen here like Bishop, Blink, Warpath, Sunspot and Quicksilver! 

Bringing the (futuristic) X-men and the First Class is a plot nightmare as they have to conform with the timeline of all the films to prove its consistency as a single franchise. To date it will be Hugh Jackman's seventh time to reprise the role of Wolverine, and there will be another one in 2016, so its not over yet.
