Where to start.

Sometimes we just don't know where to start, right? Whether it be your hair or your skin, or even your nails, you just don't know where to begin your care regimen. But you do! It's very simple and I know it'll get monotonous to hear it again. You need to start by fixing your daily life. I don't mean fix as in FIX but make certain changes.
Let's start from the beginning of your day. Let's say you wake up at 9:00am. Your first impulse would be to eat. This is your body telling you it is hungry after hours of long rest and time before your last meal. Now before you go and grab your sugary cereal or pancakes laden with syrup, bacon, eggs and butter, HALT!! That breakfast, while high in protein and or calcium, could be high in cholesterol, fat, and sugar. You need to start your day with something light. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it most certainly doesn't have to be the largest. In fact, experts say if you eat a smaller, more nutrient dense breakfast and follow up with snacks every three hours until dinner and eat your largest meal then, you wont be as hungry during breakfast and you'll be able to continue. I highly recommend you start with something like:
A nice nutrient packed fruit smoothie with your favorite fruits and a cup of 2%milk or half a cup of whole milk, if you only drink that kind. This would give you the essential antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, and protein to keep you full longer.
Become a smoothie fanatic. They are versatile, fun, and you can change them up however you want; use different fruits and or frozen fruits if you want a creamy, thicker blend.
Keep leafy greens and veggies in mind. Your mom and doctor are not wrong when they say that these little green guys are healthy for you. Vegetables are packed, I mean PACKED with antioxidants to fight sickness, beta keratin and calcium for your skin and nails and hair, traces of protein which build everything from hair to skin cells, and every vitamin that you can think of. EAT YOUR LEAFY GREENS AND OTHER VEGGIES
Start taking nutrient supplements along with your daily food requirements. Buy things like Centrum or fish oil pills. Centrum will give you all of your vitamins and fish oil pills give you the essential fatty acids that your body needs. These pills have done wonders to my skin and hair. My hair has grown a little more than an inch in the past month. These little suckers are good for you.
You can pick up Centrum at any drug store for about 5 to 6 dollars.
Get your sleep. When you sleep your body is repairing your body with all of the nutrients you took in all day. OOH!!! And drink 2 cups of water before bed. This will moisturize your skin and help you look absolutely glowing in the morning. But get as much sleep as you can. Sleep is good. You can never have too much sleep.
Remember to be patient. These things take time. Keep this up and you'll be sure to see results. Use this as a start to your beauty regimin.
Good luck beauty peeps!
