VITAL PROTEINS

Have you ever been scrolling Instagram and seen the Sugar Bear Hair vitamins? Yup, me too. Supplements, tea detox and all the other things you can ingest have now dominated the beauty market 👉🏻 so, which ones really work? The trend of taking supplements to help your beauty appearance have always been in the market and I’ve always been so skeptical about them. Really? You think a pill is gonna make my skin clear up? Here comes VITAL PROTEINS - Beauty Collagen – Strawberry Lemon powder supplement 💌 I was determined to try the trend out for 30 days and see if it’s improved my skin. Let’s see the results! My skin definitely glowed throughout the month, making it look from dull and dead to alive and thriving! I loved the flavor of this supplement and it wasn’t difficult to ingest (like others usually are). One of my favorite things about this product was the package’s reminder to stay committed to see results. I was always so tempted to give up but I’m glad I didn’t. Would I recommend someone to try this trend? I’d say yes! Be careful of what you ingest and be mindful of how your body feels. I don’t recommend taking supplements without thorough research but this particular product definitely served me well 🙂💗VITAL PROTEINS - Beauty Collagen – Strawberry Lemon

Okay so I might not be the best person to give advice about how to grow long, healthy nails BUT I’m going to tell you what works for me. I have been a nail biter since before I can remember...as someone who has dealt with life-long anxiety, nail biting/picking, lip biting, nervous-foot-shaking, etc have all been prevalent for me. For years, I was unable to grow my nails because I bit them so bad but one day I just kind of realized a) how disgusting it is (who knows what’s under your nails) and b) it made me really self conscious of my hands. So I decided I wasn’t going to be a nail biter anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I still bite them from time to time when I’m feeling anxious (mostly just pick at them) but for the most part I leave them alone. Some things I have done and currently do to help my nails grow longer and healthier are: supplements - I take a bunch of different natural vitamins + minerals including vitamin c, b-complex, magnesium, vitamin d, and omega-3 which are all great and help make your hair, skin, and nails healthier and stronger. This isn’t the sole reason I take these supplements (hormone imbalances/anxiety/digestive issues are the main reasons) but it’s nice that they can help this too! collagen - ingesting collagen can be really helpful in growing your hair and nails and keeping them strong. For collagen, I’ve been trying out some various products from Vital Proteins (like these bars). castor oil - this stuff has SO MANY uses but I use it on my lashes, brows, and cuticles. I massage a tiny drop into each cuticle a few times a week and it helps them to not be so dry; when they aren’t dry I don’t pick at them so much! nail files/clippers - I try to always file or cut my nails now with one of these two tools instead of biting. hand lotion - I try to keep my hands + nails hydrated and soft (again, so I don’t pick) and the nails don’t break as easily drink a sh*t ton of water - the more hydrated you are, the better off you are overall, right? While I may not always have the perfect nails, I have found these things to really help me when it comes to having much healthier nails and cuticles. What are your tips for growing strong, healthy nails?
