Nutrition for Nails: More Evidence of Juicing. Here's the highlight of my whole month!!!

My whole life, I have been a nail biter. Besides the fact that I have the ugliest hands in America (as you will see in a moment), I have weak nail beds that tear and break easily. Any time I've ever gone to a nail salon to get a manicure, the techs laugh at me and tell me I should just get acrylic because pretty much, I am a hopeless case. I mean this happens EVERY TIME.

Anyway, I noticed recently that biting my nails took WAY more effort. I thought to myself, HMMMMM? Am I crazy or do my nails feel strong? I was also having to do a lot more biting because they're growing faster. I thought, surely this is all in my head, but MAYBE my body is giving me stronger nails and so MAYBE I should stop biting them once and for all and try to grow them out. I took advantage of this new ambition by taking my girls to the salon for a DIVA DAY. 

I told the nail tech not to laugh at me, but I wanted just a manicure because I was going to try and grow my nails out. I then proceeded to go on and on about how weak and brittle my nails are, so that I didn't have to hear it from him and because I talk to much, when all of the sudden he says words I never thought I'd hear in my life, 

"Actually, Ma'am. Your nails are very strong and thick. You can grow these out no problem."

WHAAATTTTT???? 

I then asked him to take a picture of my nails and began telling him all about Juice Feasting with great enthusiasm, at which point he told me I was kind of crazy and then told some other lady something probably more offensive in his native tongue. It's ok though. I'm used to it. But he was thrilled that I knew what Bok Choy is. Lol. We're friends forever. 

So, now I have a new goal. To GROW MY NAILS!!!! This is a very exciting thing for me. I always said in my next life, God would give me pretty nails. It looks like He's going to give them to me in this life. :) 

We'll check in in a month to see how things are progressing!!!

I cannot believe I am posting a picture of my hands as they are the most shameful part of my existence, but hey, I'm just putting it out there and hoping you love me anyway. If not, it's cool. I'll have some fabulous nails in not too long!
