Nail Journal Week one

So I've decided to take off my Solar nails and go all natural. Well, as much "natural" as I can.














This is what my nails looked like before I decided to take them off. It had been about two to three weeks since I had them put on. So you can see the ridge widen from the cuticle. I took them off at home and did not go into the salon. You can do that and around here it costs about $10-$15 to have them do that but I chose to do it myself to see if I could without hurting myself.
I used this stuff that I bought over at Sally's Beauty Supply. It works really fast and it helps if you put some one a cotton ball, get some aluminum foil and wrap your nails for about 10-15 minutes each. This does take a lot of time but you do it at home for free. You can go to a nail salon and have them remove the nails but they do the same process except they have their electric nail file that remove. them faster.  


As you can see, my nails are very weak and damaged. I had to buff them and cut them because they were so weak that they bent so I didn't want to keep them. Even though they looked long they were NOT strong. 
 
Here are my nails now. They have been buffed, cut and polished. I have been using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps.
As you can see my nails are very short and very thin. This is my first day and I am hopeful but not overly as I have tried this before and did not succeed. I ended up going back and putting on a full set of nails. Of course that was only within a two week span. I am going to try to post daily. Not only for my whole five readers but to keep myself on track. I am going to hold out for a whole month and see if I can make a difference. 

Until next time....

Inspiration and help

I have been writing my book and am getting to that point where I need a little inspiration. So I started watching Hauntings on the History channel and saw some unsettling points of view. I am a firm believer in ghosts and I am saddened and angered by those who do not believe. Not everyone HAS to believe what I think or what other people think about ghosts but have some respect for their opinion. Don't just call them crazy or say that they don't think they know what they saw. I was so disturbed I changed the channel and started watching Medium. So after a good solid hour I felt better and got the inspiration I needed. I started writing again. Then I realized what direction my writing went and had to laugh. Since its snowing out I knew I was going to need a lot more input to put my mind in the right frame of mind so I sought the help of my Wii. I spent an hour killing zombies in my Resident Evil game and started writing again. As a writer trying to become known this is the horr...

Change

As my four readers know, life is change. We change as we get older. We change when we get out of school. We change into adults...well some change into adults others just get bigger but stay kids mentally. Anyway, life is change. As for me, my life is changing again. It seems that I have happily skipped down a path that I didn't intend to and ran into a road block. So now I have to find another path do go down. I am being vague for a reason. I am moving on to another adventure and am looking forward to seeing what windows of opportunities are out there. They, whoever "they" are, say that life never closes a door without opening a window. Of course, if I can't find a window open I'll just kick one open. For those of you who know what my husband bought me for my anniversary, I will be riding in style down my new path. It does make me wonder. Life can be unexpected and joyous, then it could be down right mean and kick you in the face when you're smiling. Either...
