This Saturday Jan 31st 2009 is the Susan G. Komen race for the cure where thousands go downtown to Flagler Blvd. in West Palm Beach to help raise money to find a cure for Breast Cancer. As we run, walk or walk in the family stroll, it is a chance for us to come together to help support friends and family affected by this brutal beast.

Just recently another friend has been battling this monster -but not without a fight. In the years past, even when I didn't know anyone affected by breast cancer, I still wanted to show my support and go down to Flagler and take part in the race. Well, these past few years have been heartfelt with customers and acquaintances that have all been affected, and this year it hits home as my closest friend has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. We are hopeful that she will recover from this and with all the new treatments and her unbelievable strength, she will pull through this. This year I will walk in honor of my friend Natalie. With Love and Support, her friends and family will be there for her.

If you have time this Saturday please come support Susan G. Komen and walk or run to help to find a cure! - We need to help and beat this thing.

Nail Disorders~

Recently a few people have come to me with concerns with their nail disorders and needed guidance as to what to do and how to treat them.
One salon customer had nails that were splitting vertically, from the free edge towards the cuticle. This is Onychoschizia, commonly known as nail splitting. This may be caused by nail cosmetic (hardeners, polish,polish hardeners), and occupational exposure to chemicals (cement,alkali's,acids,salt sugar solutions). People taking oral medications made from vitamin A or people with skin diseases, such as lichen planus and psoriasis may also develop nail splitting.
Another form of Onychoschizia is splitting of the fingernails horizontally peeling along the free edge. Common cause of this is from prolonged wetting and drying of the fingernails., nail polish remover, trauma to fingernails. For this is it recommended to use a lotion containing alpha-hydroxy acids, wear gloves in cold weather, keep nails short and do not peel off nail polish. Taking a multi-vitamin will help increase nail growth which will lead to healthier nails.
Another nail disorder of concern was spoon shaped nails or Koilonychia.
Though this is sometimes an inherited condition, spoon shaped nails can usually be caused by an iron deficiency. To help correct this problem, usually an Iron supplement will help.
Taking care of your nails eating a well balanced diet and taking a multi-vitamin is key to maintaining healthy nails.
