biotin beauties

I'm groggy as hell right now. What is it about NyQuil that will not let you wake up? I honestly tried to just take one pill (knowing it's brutal hangover effect) and then my cough attack began so I succumbed to the second one and now I can barely open up my eyes. Seriously, second cup of coffee this AM and cross-eyed while staring at this screen. So yeah, I've been sick this weekend. No, not hungover this time but horrible sore throat/coughing sick. Not fun at all.  I was rummaging through my vitamin drawer desperately looking for some zinc and vitamin C as I managed to knock over my Biotin bottle. The only bottle that happened to be open since apparently I care more about my nails and hair than my damn immune system. So I figured everything happens for a reason in life and this means I should blog about Biotin (clearly, the NyQuil is still fogging my brain up)

Remember how I warned all you lovely ladies to not peel of your shellac/no chip manicures since I ruined my nails by doing that? Well, that lead me to the purchase of Biotin and have been religiously taking it everyday (yes, mom, I will now do the same with my Vitamin C) My family is obsessed with vitamins and I tend to be a little more skeptical about the Ginko Biloba's and St. John's Wort's of this world then they are. However, I do believe in Vitamin C, Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin D (seriously start taking Vitamin D it's the new Vitamin C and especially important for women- for bone and breast health, look it up!) and now Biotin. The good thing about Biotin is that you can tell that it's working right away. Your nails will feel thicker and grow quickly....no joke. My nails are now way healthier than pre-shellac/no chip incident! It's supposed to also affect your hair by making it grow. It's hard for me to say if it did that or not since my hair is pretty long already. However, if you read reviews regarding it women swear that it does help with your hair as well.  Also it says that it helps with fat metabolism this is where I stop listening, I don't believe that crap. Honestly, don't believe everything you read when the FDA hasn't put it's stamp on it. Think about it, if it really made a huge difference some pharmaceutical company would've discovered a pill with Biotin in it and sold it as a prescription. So don't buy it for that reason but for your nails- 100% it works. Make sure you take 5000 mcg of it a day. Less than that and I didn't really notice a difference!
I did the searching for you ladies on Amazon and this is the most pills for the best price. 120 pills (you take one a day) for $12.00 so that's FOUR months worth and at a cost of $3.00/month. C-H-E-A-P.
No excuses not to get this stuff!

Hopefully your weekend was more eventful than mine and that you wont need to consume boatloads of coffee and red bull to get you through the day- then again, it is Monday.
