Hey Fran I want long nails too...Hey

Earlier this week I introduced you guys to the new blogger/vlogger (well new to me) that I have been enjoying Francheska of HeyFranHey on Youtube. I promised to share some of her tips that I have been using so here's a couple....

Posted on her instagram page..she displayed a photograph of her nails and a note that she had done an coconut oil message to achieve the length and strength. I shared the photo with my daughter and we decided to give it a try. Weekly I massaged my nails with Organic unrefined Coconut Oil and then I polished them with a nail color. The first week I began to see growth and I was amazed but not completely sold...It has been 3 weeks and I have seen a big difference.

Day 1

Week 3

I was so surprised that without using any form of growth enhancing polish or treatment that simply applying coconut oil to my nail beds once a week had produced such a difference. It makes me think that if I eat healthy I will see even more. Tia also had great results but her need to bit her nails has been a bit counterproductive LOL! She is still working on them and I will share her nails when I update in a couple of weeks.

Will you join this challenge? Share your results on my facebook page and let me know what you think.

Another tip or challenge that I have been inspired to try is using the oil cleansing method for my face and using cold compress Q-tips to improve the darkness under my eyes. I have recently started these challenges so I don't have photos to share currently but I will say that I have been pleasantly surprised and feel extremely optimistic. Check out the video below that motivated me to change the way I approach my face.

Here's a link to the video for the oil cleansing method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsBpXKVcst8&list=UUuI7Ymbo-ZY269U51fuZ_iA&index=4&feature=plcp

Let me know what you think? Is this something you would try?

Embracing a New Chapter: Adventures of a New Grandmother at 50!

As the winds of change blow through my life, I find myself standing at the threshold of a thrilling new chapter: grandmotherhood! Yes, you read that right—I recently celebrated my 50th birthday, and to add an extra sprinkle of joy, my youngest son and his partner are expecting their first child. Cue the confetti and baby giggles! It's been over two decades since I last cradled a newborn in my arms, and the prospect of becoming a grandmother fills me with an indescribable mix of excitement, nostalgia, and a touch of apprehension. While I'm overjoyed at the prospect of cuddling a little bundle of joy again, there's no denying that navigating this new role comes with its own set of challenges and adventures. Balancing the excitement of impending grandmotherhood with the reality of supporting my adult children through this life-changing journey is a delicate dance. From offering sage advice and sharing in their joy to resisting the urge to overwhelm them with too much "h...

Embracing Grace: A Journey to Natural Gray Hair

As the wind blows, so too does the passage of time, marking the transitions in our lives. One such transition that many individuals face is the emergence of gray hair. It's a journey that goes beyond just the physical changes; it's a journey of self-acceptance, confidence, and embracing the natural beauty that comes with age. For me, this journey began when I turned 50 in December 2023. It was a milestone birthday, and I decided it was time to bid farewell to the routine of hair dyeing and embrace the authenticity of my graying locks. Little did I know, this decision would spark a profound transformation, not just in my appearance, but in my outlook on aging. However, my decision to let my gray hair shine wasn't met with unanimous applause. I encountered a barrage of negative feedback, with many projecting their own insecurities onto me, expressing concerns about looking older. Yet, amidst the sea of doubt, one unwavering beacon of support stood by my side – my husband. H...
