How I Stopped Biting My Nails!

Stop Biting Your Nails Today!

For me it was far worse than just biting my nails, it was my cuticles as well. I mean to the point I would bleed and i still wouldn't even be able to stop picking. It obviously was due to my stress and anxiety but, how did I stop?

First Step: Eliminate what stresses you, what triggers your anxiety. Also 7 years of visual merchandising really took a toll on my hands!

Second Step: Start taking care of yourself!

I found products that motivated me to not bite my nails. I also swear by these products. I like to make my own beauty products, but if I am going to buy anything it would be these products.
  1. Burt's Bee's- Almond & Milk Hand Cream
  2. Burt's Bee's- Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
  3. Sally Hansen- Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthener 
  4. Revlon- Nail Filer
Step Three: Develop a system. For me, when I had the urge to bite my nails I would moisturize my hands. Without flaky skin, hangnails or cuticles lifting I wouldn't have the urge to bite. 


This is the amount needed of both hands! And even this is a generous amount. I then apply the nail strengthener. When your nails are dry finish with the hand cream.
I do this entire ritual once a week.

After three months this is how my nails look now...


I never thought I could have decent looking nails, or ever be able to stop biting my nails, but its possible!

Aquatic Animal Totems, Dolphin totem/guide/power animal

Do you have an aquatic animal totem/guide? How does the ocean or water make you feel? There has always been a part of me that is drawn to the water. It is something I cannot entirely explain. Since I was a young girl my dreams were filled with moments of tranquility drifting into the darkness of the depths of the ocean. The water surrounding my body and carrying me through the waves. The unknown...the spark of life and the renewal that water offers us is so beautiful. Life came from the ocean and it embodies the very aspects of renewal and rebirth. There has been two distinctive aquatic totems in my life the dolphin and the duck/goose.

Heres How Gabriel Was Potty Trained In 3 Days! As most of you know already we just recently moved to Oklahoma City from California, during all that chaos potty training Gabriel had to take a pause. Both me and my husband were working and between packing, planning, and having to drive the almost 1,800 miles, I knew it wasn't going to be possible. So I planned to begin his potty training when we finally moved into our apartment! I bought  just the right amount of diapers to last exactly to my plan.

El Ojo De Dios

History of "el ojo de dios" Originating in the Americas these "God's eyes" as protection charms and a talisman of, the better known , third eye. A powerful symbol of understanding unseen things. Huichol indians created these woven pieces of art to put on their alters. A traditional "God's eye" has 4 points representing the 4 elements, earth, fire, and water. To weave a "God's eye" one is putting their own energy and prayers to create a physical object to forever be a representation these intentions. They are often used to protect children. They can be given as gifts either at birth, a baptism, or birthday. I found a great link to the history of "el ojo de dios" and a how to on okhistory.org, what a coincidence :) http://www.okhistory.org/kids/printables/godseye.pdf Heres my mobile!
