6 whole months!!!

It's been six whole months since I've journeyed to the land of natural nails. I didn't know what to expect and how to get what I wanted. I took every piece of advice I could find on the Internet, I scoured every picture offering "HOW TO" on it on Pinterest and followed every nail blog to find the secret to the success I so desperately wanted. Now six months later down this path I have accomplished the very goal I have set out to do. Oddly enough it was a turning point in my journey that I started having success. But before I go into all that here is where my nails are today


Now for those of you have been following my blog I want to bring to your attention my ring finger. There is a crest looking dark spot on the nail. That is the indention that the false nails made when I took them off six months ago. 


See the same crest near my cuticles. This is a picture of my nails when I first started my journey. They were weak, thin and could bend backwards without pain. Scary but true. Here are some more pictures of my nails now.





Some of the pictures are fuzzy but you can still see the growth that I have had in six months. Now some of my nails did need to be clipped and I have done one major clip on most of my nails. Only because the base of the nail was really strong but the tips were still weak and chemical ridden. Now I said earlier that I was going to tell you when my journey turned and I was able to start really noticing the changes. I found this one lady on YouTube Love4Nails by Raquel Pimental. She really helped me get through the first half on my journey. I followed everything she said to the letter when I started and I can honestly say that she's right on the money on a lot of things but it was when I started taking 


Nature's Bounty Extra Strength Hair, Skin & Nails that I really started to notice a major difference. I realized that I had worked so hard to nourish the outside of my nails that I failed to remember the inside of my nails/fingers. I am also proud to say that I have grown my nails without harsh chemicals like polishes with formaldehyde. Most people turn to more chemicals to help them grow their nails. I was trying to get away from all that mess. I also have switched to organics as much as possible, cut down on bread, started to eat more veggies and stopped all soda. Nothing but water. My guilty pleasure is tea and local/organic honey that does still have pollen in it. That's more healthy. So here I am. I hope that I have helped you on your nail journey. Let me know if I have helped you and if you have any questions.

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...

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. ...
