Just for now....

My nails are hard and my skin looks....well, decent. (I have acne rosacea, which is fairly mild most of the time, but on occasion flares up. The doc and I have discussed medication for this, but I don't want to be on a chronic med if I don't really need it.)

I wish I could say I knew to what I could attribute this temporary state....because I would do it all the time. However, a couple of months ago, I did start switching out "Hair, Skin, and Nails" vites with my multi, every other day. The chance that that's the real explanation is dubious, in my mind

Hasn't done much for my hair, either. Still straw-like. I wonder if it's time to stop dying the stuff.*

[livejournal.com profile] displacedtexan brought home a copy of The Guardian (only a week old). Should be an interesting supplement to The Ecomomist.

The bunny's been working up some freaky ideas lately, including the one where there's a serial killer....but he's not actually the story's bad guy. Weird.

The nails would be more of a long term thing, I agree. But the carb link sounds promising. Wheat and sugar are two common irritants. A good test would be to pig out on these things after a week or so of abstinence and see if you break out. :-)

WEll, I'm actually trying to lose weight, so that would be...unwise....but definitely something to keep in mind. ;o)

LOL. We'll have to wait until you're overwhelmed with temptation.

Cinnamon rolls are a horrible creation. Whoever thought of that need to be burned in effigy....with a sugar coating....

Mmmm...cinnamon rolls.

Oh, great. Now I have to make a side trip to Cinnabon today!
