Ukuxilongwa okwenzakalisayo kwafika xa wayeneminyaka engama-31 kuphela ubudala. Umlingisi waseBrooklyn, NY-based kunye nemvumi uNicole Bradin wayengenayo imbali yosapho yomhlaza webele, ke ithumba elibi kwibele lakhe lasekhohlo yayiyinto yokugqibela awayeyilindele: "Ndiye ndedwa kwidinga, kwaye andizange ndikholelwe xa ugqirha. uthe wayeqinisekile nge-99 pesenti ukuba iqhuma endilifumene [ngokuzivavanya] ngumhlaza." Okuvuyisayo kukuba, emva kweminyaka emithathu kunye nekhosi enzulu yonyango (ebandakanya i-mastectomy, ichemotherapy kunye nemitha), uNicole, oneminyaka engama-34, akanawo umhlaza. “Ngoku ndizibeka kuqala kwaye andisazikhathazi ngezinto ezingabalulekanga,” utshilo. "Ndiye ndafunda ukuba ukuzinyamekela kubaluleke kakhulu."

Emva kokunxiba ngaphezulu kweekhilogram ezingama-40 kule minyaka mibini idlulileyo-- isiphumo samayeza, kunye neentlungu kunye nokudinwa okwenze ukuba kube nzima ukuhlala usebenza -- uNicole ulungele ukufumanisa kwakhona ubomi bomthambo kunye nokutya okunempilo.

Emva koko wazikhupha iitress zakhe kwaye wazilungisa ngentsimbi eshushu yentsimbi ngaphambi kokuba ongeze iivelcro roller ezimbalwa ukuzithambisa nangakumbi.

Emva koko, ukwakheka: "Ndifuna ukudlala amehlo kaNicole anomphefumlo oqaqambileyo," utshilo uSurratt, owayegxininisa nebala lakhe eliqaqambileyo. I-Surratt igudileyo kwi-Revlon Skinlights Diffusing Tint Foundation e-Nude exutywe nechaphaza le-Skinlights Instant Skin Brightener kwi-Bare Light ($ 14 nganye). Emva koko wafaka iRevlon Eyeglide Shimmer Shadow eSandstone ($6.50; zonke kwiivenkile zamachiza) phezu kwesiciko sonke ukusuka kumgca wokuqhawuka ukuya ebunzi. Iifreyimu ezimilisiweyo, imivimbo egobile, imascara emnyama kunye nepensile yomntu ohamba ze ilandelwe. Iziphumo: ukujonga kwendalo uNicole anokukuphinda ngokulula ekhaya.
