Some Fabulously Fun Facts About Our Nails!
Did you know?…
- Men’s nails grow faster than women’s and tend to be stronger.
- Toe nails grow slower than finger nails.
- The younger you are, the faster your nails grow.
- Your overall health is reflected in your nails.
- The middle finger (aka Tall Man) has the fastest growing nail on your hands.
- Nails are made of keratin, just like hair.
- It’s a myth that nails actually keep growing for some days after death. This is just an illusion caused by the skin tissue shrinking away from around the nails exposing more of the actual nail.
- The more dehydrated you get…your nails will too, which is one of the causes for brittle, lackluster nails.
- Too much moisture will make your nails soft and they are best protected by keeping them dried and moisturized with a quality hand and nail cream.
Too cool!
Drink Lots Of Water.
Oddly enough, I reckon that’s all that needs posting for today. As water will, most certainly, be the singular item to get us back on track post the Easter chocolate bender most were sure to have been on yesterday. So let’s get that chocolate moving through Gorgeous Ones! Ey Up!
Maybe Try This At Home?
We came across this unusual, yet rather folksy fab, homemade recipe for sunless tanner and thought we’d give it a go. It’s uber-easy, much like we love and most good folks are likely to have the ingredients on hand to whip up their own bit of a beaut tan. All you need is a super strong cup of black tea (loose leaves preferably) left to steep for the better part of an hour and a sea sponge or something similar to apply. After the tea has steeped and is coolish to touch, dip the sponge into the strong black tea and then artfully dab it onto the areas you wish to faux tan. The good thing about self tanning with black tea is that it doesn’t seem to streak and can be reapplied in layers to build up to a reasonable level of colour. We did notice, however, that you should leave each layer to dry before applying the next to get the most noticeable increase in colour. Who would have thought it was as easy or as cheap as that? Too nifty.
