I’ve been biting my nails and the skin around them since I can remember (now in my senior year of highschool). I’ve tried many times to stop, but it’s so hard! I am usually quite good, and then as soon as something stressful happens, I start up again. I’ve been chewing a lot of gum though. That distracts me from biting.

Well, for Lent, I have given up biting my nails. I’m hoping I’ll be able to continue after the 40 days too. =P

I have a feeling someone will suggest that bitter thing to put on fingernails to stop biting them, but, I can never seem to find that stuff in the drugstore anymore, and last time my mother tried to break me of the habit, I got used to the taste and bit anyway. SO I’m just gonna have to rely on gum and willpower! =P

Anyway, I’m wondering what things I can do to make my nails grow faster, and make them healthy and strong.

I’ve been trying to push my cuticles back (they were so grown out, I think it will take some time before I can get them back all the way) and I’ve been moisturizing my hands.

Any other tips/tricks? Inexpensive home remedies would be great. I don’t have money to spend on expensive nail products right now.

Oh, I also plan to go for a manicure after Lent, if I actually can stop biting my nails! So hopefully that will make them look good too. =)

Thank you!

I’m to young for my hair to be falling out at the rate that I’m going I wont hardly have any left when I reach my forties. I stress about really bad every time I go to fix my hair. I try not to do to much with my hair because it worry about it so much.
My Mom has thining hair I would say in the last 5 to 7 years is when it has gotten it’s worst. I have a major amount of stress in my life right now. I’v been going through a bad divorce for 2 years now that still has not come to an end. I have my 2 children on my own, no child support and I’m trying to finish college. But isnt that kinda the normal for people these day’s.

Okay…so I have been under attack by the yeastie bastards. I treated the infection with Monistat Day or Night first; it didn’t work. Then, after that put a dent in my bank ($20), but did not supply results, I used the Equate 3 day treatment. This didn’t work either. I started looking online for natural remedies and found garlic was a enemy to yeast. I tried it and low and behold the infection seemed to clear up almost immediately. The next day I resumed sexual activity with my husband as usual, but afterwards I started feeling the itchy feeling and by the morning it had returned. I once again treated it with garlic and waited two more days before resuming intercourse, but when I did the infection again returned. How long does it take for garlic to get rid of this for good? I can’t keep relapsing back into agony. I have had this for over a week now, but I can’t go to the doctor on the account that I have no insurance and it costs a lot of money. Please help!

I have no money to get something for it. Its Tuesday and I see my boyfriend this weekend. I see him once every 3weeks, and having sex with a yeast infection doesn’t sound too appealing or healthy. And if we can’t have sex, its really going to suck.

Like, I want nice looking nails and hands, but please, don’t even mention about going to the nail salon. I don’t want to waste money. But is there any way that I could get shiny, shaped, and sleek nails and soft beautiful hands at home? It will be nice if you gave me a set of instructions on how to do a manicure and tips would be great too! Person who gives the best, detailed, and most helpful and effective answer will be given 10 points! Thanks for all answers!
And, please, be as specific as you can, and don’t be afraid to add details!!!
