Make your own Viviscal recipe

Well y'all, after taking down a fake breast-enlargment cream in my off-hours, I gave it a five-year rest.

I'm back.  And I have another company to complain about: Viviscal.  Here's two reasons: (1) they use shark cartilage, which is "harvested" in the most cruel and inhumane way possible, and (2) they are fleecing American women, and that pisses me off.

SHARK CARTILAGE: DON'T BUY IT!!!  Mermaid Kat, an aquatic performance artist and amazing mermaid shows here that sharks peaceful undersea creatures that should be treated with respect.  They are warm-blooded creatures who have live young!  Shark cartilage is a cruel, dreadful product and I hate that Viviscal supports the disgusting industry of "harvesting" shark cartilage.

$50/MONTH USD?  HECK NO.  If you wanted to, you could make your own cocktail of supplements to include ingredients equivalent to Viviscal.  Here's how:

(1) 500mg or so of gelatin or collagen hydrolysate, twice a day (or 1,000mg daily),

(2) 15 mg zinc supplement

(3) 150 mcg biotin.

That's it.  You can get these ingredients on the cheap.  What I have paid for them is 

(a) $0.56/day:  $17 for 120 capsules  of gelatin, 500mg/ea. (You can get it cheaper, but I insist on fish cartilage so as to not support the environmentally NOT sustainable meat industry).

(b) $0.17/day: $6 for 35 biotin gummy vitamins, 150mcg/ea (You can get this cheaper too--I like the gummies, and these are vitamin B gummies that have other B vitamins, not just biotin).

(c) $0.07/day: $7 for 100 capsules of zinc, 15mg/ea (You can get this a little cheaper too.

All together, buying those pills separately, each day the cost is $0.80, a total of $24/month.

So, for Viviscal, $49.99/month

For ingredients, $24/month (or less!)

Does it work?  Yes. I tried it, and it worked for me.  I have more hair, thicker hair, and longer hairs because I've been taking this cocktail the last four months.  It has NOTICEABLY changed my hair, especially in areas near the front of my scalp where I was thinning.

I will be uploading more documentation (videos) of my personal results, but I wanted to make this recipe available to anyone who wants to try it out and see if it works.  PLEASE leave a comment about your experience if you try it out.  I can't fund a huge study like Viviscal did, but I'm convinced that these ingredients will have a similar effect.

If you try it, make sure to take a baseline video or pictures and then take some more every month for a few months.  That's what I did and I see a huge difference between day 1 and day 100.  I might not have noticed how dramatic the change was if I hadn't documented the change with detailed videos.

I make no money off of writing this.  This is not a "monetized" blog.  I'm not selling any particular brand of gelatin, zinc, or biotin.  I'm putting this out there because I want to save sharks, and I want to help other women save money.  I mean, seriously?  $50/month?  We aren't all lawyers and doctors here.

Melania Trump Fashion: Proof She Has No Friends

People.  If, for any reason, you suddenly come into vast wealth, hire a stylist.  They're not terribly expensive.  I mean, I'll look over your event fashion and give you a "yes" or "no" for free.  It's not hard to take a selfie in the fitting room mirror and send it off to your friends.

That assumes you have friends.  Even just one friend.  Or a female family member who you are on speaking terms with.

Melania Trump has no friends.  Just her husband, who wears his ties so low he has to pin them back when he pees.

Before today, I had considered following Melania's fashion crimes with blog posts.  I couldn't be bothered.  But today, I am bothered enough to sit down and do it.

Here it is.  The Erdem "Emery" disaster that happened at a Mar-a-Lago gala on New Year's Eve 2017.  I was absolutely certain it was photoshopped at first.  It's that dreadful.

The shoes.  The hair.  The bust.  Everything.
This is how it's SUPPOSED to look:

See how they put it with red shoes?  That's really nice.  I little matchy, but nice.  Simple hair.  The included blue belt That's one good option.

Or you can go with Erdem's original styling:

The Erdem styling is even better--the drape doesn't pull at the hips.  The shoes are funky which makes it all tongue-in-cheek. The hair is up so it doesn't compete with the neckline.  It's a little bit fabulous.  Not a lot fabulous.  But....I get it.  It's memorable if you see the local "it" girl wearing this. You see the incredible fabric in person.

 You wish you could pull it off.  And then in five years you see it in a picture and think...."That doesn't age well."

But, unless you LITERALLY asked NO ONE if this looks good, you don't do this:

Final thought......maybe she gets her fashion advice from her sister.
