Numero uno must-have

The one thing that I use almost religiously is Biotin vitamins...

I'm not going to try and say that this works on everybody, or that it has been this miracle product that has given me Rapunzel-worthy locks, but I can say that I have definitely seen a difference since using them. Biotin is an essential water soluble B-Vitamin that is most thought of as the "hair growth" vitamin. I have veerry fine hair, which used to get to a certain point and seemingly stop growing.  I've always wanted long hair, so I first gave prenatal vitamins a shot, which are also known for making hair grow. I didn't see many results with using that, so I switched over to Biotin about 4 months ago.

Here's my hair length on new years eve this year... (I did one curly picture and one straight so you could better see the length)
 







And then since taking 2,500 Mg Biotin twice a day with meals (and LOTS of water) here are most recent pictures that show my length.


 



Like I said, it's not crazy growth, but for a little over 4 months I will definitely continue to buy these. :)
I take NatureMade brand ones, which are nicely sized purple pills that go down really easy. I got them at Meijers, and they're about 9 bucks, but it seems like they're always having buy one get one free deals so it wasn't too bad. I have heard of some people experiencing more breakouts while taking them, but I haven't noticed any of that!

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Awkward first post...

My name is Taylor and I'm ready to give this whole beauty blog trend a shot!

I don't know about you guys, but ever since I hit middle school I had love for make-up and primping. I remember that some of my favorite gifts for christmas was a new face wash to try, or a new lip gloss. My love for it has grown since, and I am one of those girls who just has to try EVERYTHING that Ulta or CVS has to offer.
This hobby has cost me a bit of money, so I'd like to share what I feel like is worth the price, to prevent others from making the same mistakes!
