Granado Nutritive Wax For Nails and Cuticles Review

29 March 2012

Granado Nutritive Wax For Nails And Cuticles – Granado website (only available in Brazil)

So I’m back from my holiday in Brazil and I come bringing Brazilian goodies! Whilst in a pharmacy, I found this product that called my attention immediately because it was pink – I’m such a girl! But when I looked closely it actually looked promising, so I thought I’d give it a try.

It’s the Granado Nutritive Wax For Nails and Cuticles (Cera Nutritiva para Unhas e Cutículas). The balmy textured product is made of cereal wax associated with oat milk and combined with silicons. According Granado, this mixture hydrates and restores cuticles and nails with a non-greasy finish. My nails have been looking absolutely appalling lately, so I jumped at the first chance to try this.

The wax has a gentle sweet scent, which I really liked and I think it would suit most people’s tastes. The consistency is not what you would expect of a wax: thick and sticky; but rather smooth like a balm. I applied one layer over each of my cuticles and waited about 3 minutes for it to be absorbed by my skin, as instructed.

The result? Super moisturised and smoother cuticles, and that was after only one application. I’m very impressed! I also noticed my nails looked shiny and nourished, so I may extend the application to the nails as well and see how I get on with it over the next few weeks. On the photo above, I had only just applied the wax, so that’s why it looks mega greasy, but it did get fully absorbed in the end.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anywhere that sell the Granado wax outside of Brazil, but hopefully they’ll branch out to the rest of the world soon. If you know of any other products in the market that does a similar sort of thing, let me know in the comments below :)

Au revoir!

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
