The tummy issues could have been from not eating or not having enough food in your stomach prior to drinking the vitamins. It is never a good to take vits before eating. I have noticed that on many many occasions on this board. I did read thru all the threads and the ingredients on the bottle and I have decided not to purchase. I already take many of the vits listed already and at a much higher dosage. I also am concerned with what is in the "proprietary blend".

Sorry your tummy gets upset. Apparently some can't take the original version. Theres one where the liquid is aloe and folks say their tummy issues went awsy with that formula. T bh, my tummy doesnt like the the full dose either of the aloe. So I take 1tbsp 3 times a week or so and im fine.
My next experiment will be to try 1 tsp in my DC and see what happens
That would be intresting to add to the dc

Did you add hair to the twists or used your natural hair? Cant wait to see the pics. I absolutely love mini twists/braids. When I was texlaxed I used to install mini braids all the time.
Do you take pics of your hair to compare as your journey moves along?

i haven't lately
my goal was to be neck length next month and I have no idea how close I am to that. i'm just really frustrated. i thought i'd be natural and love it and i'm just really annoyed. i prefer my hair straight but that means heat which is killing my progress i think. the last time i took a pic of my hair is the picture in my profile pic, taken last month.i haven't lately
I know exactly what you mean. After my setback about a year ago, I chopped to just longer than a pixie and thought I would simply be short-haired forever.
I started just keeping my hair clean and styling it and thinking nothing about really having a journey per se. Then I saw a pic of myself after a few months...I had growth that I didn't notice on myself. I also noticed that I didn't have breakage that I experienced before. I realized then that I don't need as much protein as I thought. In those few months when I was only washing and styling and not thinking about growth, I was deep conditioning with moisturizing conditioners only. Add to that, I was only using one kind repeatedly.
Once I figured that, I had this renewed energy for possibly growing longer hair. I don't know how long I can get, but what I'm doing now works. I'm only reaching for APL layered as a final goal.
My real point is that maybe you can take a pic of your hair and then compare after some time has gone by. I bet you have growth that you've retained and simply not noticed.

@naija24 you may be using to much. Have you tried or explored wearing your natural curl /texture? I bc'd in August and I only got my hair straightened once, and I've had noticeable growth and retention which I think is due to avoiding heat. You may want to try roller setting as well. My hair gets pretty straight with roller setting I just don't have the patience for it. I hope you find something that works for you.
Eta: I think water has been key to my regimen as well. Moisturizing is key to having healthy hair.

I have the first 4 months I was natural. I just have zero interest in a twa. I'm trying to get back into dating and the straight hair has made a difference.

@pelohello i love them too. Such an easy style. I didn't add hair to my twists I dont know how. But if I want to rock a low faux bun, I take some marley hair and do mini twists on them and make a low bun. My hair is super fine so its scalpy for the first few days and then I start baggying at night. The older they get the better. I just keep them pinned back/up until they are not so new any more. I cant wait till im back at longer lengths. You can do soo much more then.

I know I was playing around with rotating hair styles but then the lazy bug hit me again 
Tonight I decided I'm just going to stick with 1 flat twist style until I can't take it any more and then I will switch styles. You would think I would remember that my hair does much better when I just do the same thing over and over for a period of time.
I have a mini vacation in August. I will try to wear it until that weekend and then put in 2 strand twists.

We have 5 more months left in the year. I hope to retain at least 2 inches in that time frame.
Below are my July 2015 length chk pics. I do not take pictures of my hair often b/c I don't want to watch the pot. Its working for me. I big chopped in October and I feel like my retention has been pretty good thus far.
Soo I went to a wedding on Saturday July 4th, and this is how I wore my hair - Its my .. week old flat twist-out pinned back. My friend thought I put in some time on this 5 minute hairstyle lol:
Next day length check pic before Sunday July 5th semi mini twists:

Last but not least, Big chop day from October 2014 for my 30th birthday:
