3 Super Foods to Help Your Nails Grow

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR NAILS?  Here’s three foods that’ll help you get gorgeous nails.

WHEN I was younger I used to bite my nails.   I even tried “nail biting” polish; nasty tasting!  Looking back… I probably would have had nice nails if I didn’t EAT them!

ONE DAY, I decided to stop biting my nails because my new boyfriend said he really liked girls with long nails.  Ah, ha!  I realize now that he just liked back scratches! (and still does… aka… my husband)

TODAY MY nails grow so fast, and I completely attribute this to my diet, which includes an array of plant protein, nuts and seeds, healthy fats and lots of leafy greens and green Super foods.

The following Super foods to help your nails grow are rich in certain vitamins that give your nails length and strength.

COCONUT OIL

Coconut Oil contains rich fats that are overall wonderful for your body and your appearance.

Coconut fats are used to nourish the body on a deep level, and since they are somewhat of a cleansing food, they help to fuel nail growth by keeping the body healthy.

SPINACH

Spinach is one of the most powerful greens on the planet and is a great food for your nails.

Spinach is rich in protein with almost 5 grams per cup and it contains Vitamin E, iron, B vitamins such as folate, and Vitamin A.

AVOCADOS

Avocados are a wonderful beauty food!

Avocados are another rich source of Vitamin E, folate and other B vitamins, plant protein and Vitamin A.

Every single nutrient in avocados helps your nail health, and the healthy fats help your body absorb these nutrients faster and more efficiently.

 

EAT UP FOR BETTER HEALTH AND LONGER NAILS IN NO TIME!

How often do you think you should polish your natural nails?

My recommendation is every third day.  Make it part of your daily beauty routine.  Chipped nails are not attractive.  If you don’t have time to actually polish, I get it, you’re busy with a crammed calendar, loads of laundry and windows to wash; at least file them and keep them neat because if you eat the super foods, they are going to grow like bananas!

PS – I’m crazy about COCONUT OIL.  Organically grown, unrefined coconut oil for Beauty Treatments for your hair, body hands, feet, face and overall wellness.  (I use COCONUT OIL on my cuticles)  What is your favorite way to use Coconut Oil?  Please COMMENT below!

Seven Lipstick Shades for Every Woman’s Mood

Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world” – Marilyn Monroe

Don’t you agree?

A great lipstick color can boost your confidence and uplift your mood.  Makeup, like fashion, is an outlet of self expression – and that’s one of the best things I love about it!

I usually pick my lipstick color depending on my mood.

Here are seven lipstick shades that can fit every woman’s mood and look:

1)Red 

It is a makeup essential to own a gorgeous red lipstick.  If you want to feel confident, red is the color for you.   (Marilyn)

2)Nude

I wear a nude lip when I’m sporting smokey eyes, or when I want to downplay my makeup yet still look fresh.  A nude lip color can lean on the pink, coral or brown side.  Find one that compliments your skin tone, not too light that will make you look as pale as a ghost.  (Pure)

3)Burgandy

Yes, everyone needs a good deep red lipstick but when you want to feel sophisticated, try this color.  It is perfect when paired with sleek hair and winged liner.  (Pomegranate)

4)Pink

If you feel dainty and fresh, go for a pink color that matches your skin tone.  Pink has a way of making us look youthful and healthy, especially when paired with matching pink blush.  (Blissful)

5)Coral

When the sun is out and its warm rays glimmer outdoors, coral is the way to go.  It totally makes sense to match your lippie to the weather!  (Spontaneous)

6)Neon Pink

When you are feeling extra happy and cheerful, swipe on some bright neon pink lipstick!  You’ll feel as bright as sunshine so don’t be surprised if everyone you meet flashes you a smile!  (Fierce)

7)Deep Plum

Tired of making a statement with red lipstick?  If you are feeling rebellious, go for a deep plum color.  It is eye catching, yet still fun and pretty to wear!  It is a very versatile color as it can take you from day to night.  (First Avenue)

Wearing lipstick is an amazing mood enhancer.

Once you find the perfect shade, you’ll love it forever for the way it brightens your face and makes you look amazing.
