Nail-Aid: Ultra Rapid Growth Take 2

Well there is some growth in my nails, not much. I have however been filing them fairly frequently to prevent them from snagging which unfortunately happens quite a bit. The bit of blue was when I painted my nails for a day with blue polish to test how dark the color was. I'm not sure about unlocking some sort of magical nail grower, but at least my nails look nice with a shiny clear coat.

Earthly Body Miracle Oil Review Test Again


Well it looks as though there has been no improvement to these stretchmarks unfortunately since I last checked in. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting any improvement, at least not for a few months. I'll have to keep it up.

Earthly Body Miracle Oil Review Test

So as with most people I'm plagued by various scars and stretchmarks of that sort. I've been giving it the good old Mederma try for the past month. And as we all know, Mederma is ridiculously expensive. Sure it works on new scars, how it works on old scars is up for debate. The scar on my arm and the stretch marks are from 4 and 5 years ago.

So $11 spent on this miracle oil. It is very moisturizing well because it is oil. It smells like tea tree oil, definitely not as over powering as regular tea tree oil.

I've been applying the oil to the scars and stretchmarks and really sure rub it in. I also tend to get some scaly patches on my scalp about the size of a penny. I applied 1 drop and bam the next day the scaly patches shrank and were less scaly. We shall have to wait and for any improvement on the scars. This is what we are starting out with, and the scars have faded a bit from what they originally were.

Nail-Aid: Ultra Rapid Growth


Today is Day 2 with Ultra Rapid Growth.
I'm trying to make my nails a bit whiter and longer. They are prone to shredding unfortunately. I usually don't take good care of them, but I'm trying to do a better job. I'd like to grow them out a bit.

I apply a one coat to my base nails. They look nice and shiny, we'll see in a week or so if there is any improvement in growth. I'm also trying soaking my nails in baking soda and lemon for a whitening affect. Now for some waiting. Good thing I've got time to kill.

Professional Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator Treatment Gel by Ardell and Women's Rogaine


I have absolutely BUTCHERED my eyebrows. They haven't been even for the past 10 years. Some over zealous plucking and some plucking above the eyebrow have pretty much ruined them. This summer I had an amazing person attempt to work on my eyebrows, a definite improvement to say the least.


So I decided to get my eyebrows shaped and then attempt to grow my eyebrows out so that next time I go in there will be less likely that I will have holes in my eyebrows. A slow and steady way to even up my face. So on to Ardell's Brow and Lash Growth Accelerator Treatment and good ol Women's Rogaine. I've been brushing Ardell and then using an angled eyeshadow brush to lather on the Rogaine. I've been applying it about 1-3 times a day for the past week. I don't expect to see any results for another 2 weeks or so. So is this just natural eyebrow growth or the products actually working? Who knows, I'm not patient enough to do one eyebrow at a time and then compare so we'll assume a little bit of both. I usually get bored or lazy and stop doing something day after day so this time hopefully blogging about this will help and who knows maybe even help someone else who stumbles upon this.
