Hair Loss while dieting - Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C

-

 When I started going through menopause - or premenopause - or whatever - I started losing my hair.   The more I dieted, the more hair went down towards the drain.   Since I already let my hair go natural back during Covid - my hair was about 60% white ?  100% white from the front, which I actually love, although it doesn't have the same texture as my hair used to.  
Anyway - one of the things I've found very beneficial on my journey is Vital Proteins Collagen Powder.    Click on the photo, and if I did it correctly, it should open up in a new window on Amazon - where I get it.   I'm not sure if it's available cheaper elsewhere, tbh I've never looked around.  


Since I started using this to up my protein - even though this isn't exactly the protein you need to build muscle, it does build back your hair and nails.  I got the one labeled "advanced" because it contains both Vitamin C that helps with collagen production, and hyaluronic acid to help with skin elasticity - and those of us on the GLP-1 journey can use all the skin elasticity we can find.   


Easy to use - I have exactly 2 cups of coffee every morning.   If I have three - I don't sleep.   So in each cup if coffee I add 20 grams of this.  The macros of 2 cups of coffee, with 2 splendas and some sugar free french vanilla creamer - I end up with 36 g of protein for 300 calories.   Since I aim for close to 130 g of protein daily - this is a great start.   

Anyway - like I said, I'll take you along my journey - things that worked, things that didn't, but this is a good one that did.   My nails are long and healthy, my hair is coming back stronger and thicker, and I think it's starting to show more color but that might just be suggestive - but either way - I'm very happy with this product.   Linked here - yes, it's an affiliate link, but doubtful I'll make any money on it - but it seems the smart thing to do if I'm sharing what worked for me - maybe make a couple pennies of of it!

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
