2006-05-04 Thread Allyson Morris
Hi everyone- Random question to throw out:  Is anyone having dry, brittle, gross nails? Mine are horrible.  I started to take prenatal vitamins to help the hair loss (and I do think it is working) and I figured the vitamins might help my nails- nope, not happening. Suggestions? Allyson --~--~--
