16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm. 



So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. Not because I have issue with O.P.I. but because it has formaldehyde and I don't want to use products with that in it. I mean come on, Angelina Jolie took out her ovaries to avoid getting Cancer, I can be okay with not using a product that has formaldehyde in it because it has been linked with Cancer. After all of this I wondered if my next step was to take Biotin. 

So I ran out and got some. 

I just started taking these yesterday so I can't really say that they do or do not work but I will keep you posted on that. If these don't work I have purchased a different product. Of course Nail-Aid says they need three months in order to see real growth. So that begs the question, what is "real growth" if it isn't any growth. I started this journey the first week of March and I'm already 20 plus days into my nail growth journey. In ten days it will be a full month. 

I will be posting in 2 week increments. That way there might be something to actually report other than another failed attempt to grow my natural nails. Oh and yes, I have been keeping up with my homemade manicures and my coconut oil moisturizing. With all this effort, I have to see some progress soon, right?

*Sigh* Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

The Walking Dead is BACK!

I am a HUGE fan of the Walking Dead. I've seen every episode since the beginning. This season I was glad to see a little more about Michonne. They allowed us to see her past and making her a solid addition to the cast. This is something they did with most of the cast already. I admire this character because she has learned how to cope in this new Dead world and survive. In this episode we've learned of her son and her lover. I will admit that I wasn't able to gather the two guys at the table were her first zombies but I slowly got it as the dream turned.  Moving on...  I love movies and T.V. shows with strong female characters. Go Woman Power! I also think using the sword is awesome and reminds me of the movie Kill Bill with Uma Thurman. Another strong leading female role. But back to the Dead.... This season started out with Rick not looking so good and Carl kinda being a shit. I have to admit I was a little lost with his behavior. But I have lea...
