Wow, I've never seen a carrot cake recipe that also includes pumpkin - two yummy flavors together! This sounds fabulous and worth gaining a pound and losing a nail. Please thank your daughter for her hard work to get this posted so accurately and quickly.

Moi, I can't wait to try this recipe!!!! I love carrot cake!!!! This sounds delicious with the pumpkin, but I am going to try to leave out my nails. They are finally SHAPED because all across they are the same length. It's really hard to shape a nail, when it has broken past the nail line, on one side!!!
Thanks for the recipe Moi!!!

Thanks for this recipe Moi. My sis makes an awesome carrot cake, now we'll be in competition to see whose cake is better! ;o)
On a nail note, I had three tips to peel off yesterday, growing out all the acrylic damage is a bummer. But I am happy to report that my nails continue to be very moisturized, and my cuticles are great.

Hey Joy!
I still have some nails that peel but after decades of abuse, I'm not surprised. I find using the buffing cream helps with that some by smoothing out the ridges that give me such grief in the first place.
It will get better!!

I plan on buying the rest of the kit, hopefully I will have that buffing cream and the buffer and file soon. I am most interested in getting Barbara's file, it seems that the nail file that I am using may be contributing to the "snags" that I am experiencing? As much as I try to gently file my nail in one direction, I am noticing that they don't really feel smooth all over at the tips. Does that make sense? I guess I may just have to deal with this until the damage is gone.

Joy,
A couple of my nails look like corrigated paper, but I can see where the new growth is looking less so.
I have a couple nails, my thumbs and middles that look like waves rolling in on the coast. However, they too are looking better. It's amazing the damage we do to ourselves, isn't it??

AHHHHHH! Waves rolling in.......Well they will eventually become smooth as glassy waters. And you know what they say, "STILL WATERS RUN DEEP"
At least now you know NOT to apply any topical treatment. Even if you all never use the product again, my work here is done. You will all know not to go back to the fakes!
CONGRATS!
