For many years now, I’ve used the same two reflection questions to help me take stock of the year gone by. While I have long lists of assessment questions I use for various aspects of my personal life and my work, I’m repeatedly drawn back to the simplicity and versatility of this pair:
- What worked for me last year?
- What didn’t?
Today I’m talking about the things that worked for me; just like in years gone by, I’ll share my list of what didn’t work in the newsletter. Sign up here if you’re not on the list.
I’ve been blogging about these year-end reflections since 2013. Some things have changed little over the years, while some of my long-ago changes are now thoroughly incorporated into my life, like 2013’s “taking a photography class” and “setting up designated office space for myself.” There’s no going back! Sometimes the things that work are specific to the season, but more often they get folded into my ongoing routines. Perhaps this is why the What Worked for Me archives remain entertaining and interesting reading: check out my recent-ish lists from 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018.)
I hope, pray, and intend that this is the last year for a good long while that I’ll say this but: 2025 was rough. My (private) list of things that didn’t work isn’t particularly long, but it sure packed a wallop. Perhaps mercy looks like a remarkably long list of things that did work. I’ve shared an even twenty below, but I could have kept going. Most sound like small things, but let me roll out an old Annie Dillard standby for you: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing.”
Below is a sampling of what filled my days in 2025. I hope you enjoy perusing my list, and that it gets you thinking about your own. You know we’d love to hear your own reflections in comments.
Reading and Writing
Good books. This may seem silly to say, but 2025 was full of very good books. And don’t very good books make everything better? (My favorite books of 2025 are right here, and my favorite audiobooks are here. I talk more in detail about these and toss in a few more titles in this week’s What Should I Read Next episode #508, called Anne’s Best Books of 2025.)
Nonfiction on audio. I didn’t see this one coming. With the exception of memoir, nonfiction has historically not worked well for me on audio. But in 2025, some of my very favorite listens were narrative nonfiction. I’m planning on continuing my happy trend in early 2026 with more from Garrett Graff and Patrick Radden Keefe; I hope you know I’m always open to recommendations in comments! Case in point …
The comments section. The MMD blog comments have been an endless source of inspiration this year. For book recommendations, recipes, organizing ideas, makeup products … you name it!
Don’t Overthink It continues to resonate. For reasons that are invisible to me, my book that came out on March 3, 2020 (OOF) sold very well in 2025. My publisher doesn’t update me on sales in real time, so when I received my latest biannual status update last month, I was SHOCKED to see how strong sales were from February to August (not typically peak book buying time for a book like Don’t Overthink It). I am thrilled that this book continues to find its audience more than five years later. I wish I could say what it is exactly that’s working, but it’s working.
Links I Love. This little Friday dispatch has grown ever closer to my heart over the many years. I so enjoy lovingly curating each week’s assortment of the best things I read on the internet each week, plus a few favorite things. Every once in a while I invite a team member to get in on the action and share their own curated collection; reading these is pure joy.
Good old-fashioned newsletter writing. After several years of not sending a regular newsletter (more on that in what didn’t work, coming this weekend), this fall I resumed sending the kinds of email updates I used to regularly write back in the day: longish, chatty, reflective, photo-filled messages about real life, lately. Putting these together—and reading your responses—has brought me something I didn’t know I was missing. I’m looking forward to writing more of these little updates in 2026.
Journals and hats. As a team, we really enjoy dreaming up new items for our MMD/WSIRN shop, and it’s always fun to send those new goodies out into the world. But sometimes the stuff we dream up is especially good, and especially well received—like with our Well Read hats and our MMD Ampersand Leuchtturms* in four gorgeous colors. I love that YOU love these readerly goodies, and I really love that many of our readers go on to send us photos of themselves wearing our hats or using our journals. (We LOVE your photos—keep ’em coming!)
*Funny thing: I’ve been learning German since I was a kid. I’ve been using Leuchtturm journals for fifteen years. We first sold custom Leuchtturms in our MMD shop in 2017. But it was only in late 2025 that I learned that Leuchtturm is not just a family name or brand name but actually means “lighthouse” in German. How did I not know this? Also: thank you, Duolingo.
Home stuff
My little plant hygrometer. I’ve been tending houseplants since my college days and many houseplants for over ten years, but this past spring I finally sprung for an inexpensive plant moisture reader. It hasn’t dramatically changed any of my watering habits; mostly it’s served to confirm my instincts, e.g., yes, that peace lily’s soil is not oversaturated even though it seems to drink up 4x more water than any of my other plants. This $8 gizmo has proved to be so handy that I wish I’d gotten one eons ago.
And a hygrometer for our home, paired with a humidifier. Another inexpensive purchase I wish I’d made years ago. I bought this in the final days of 2024 to monitor home humidity levels and it’s been wonderful. In fact, it quickly prompted such a big change that I immediately wrote about it in last year’s edition of what worked for me, but it felt worth repeating since now we have a longer track record. Our household winter air was previously SO VERY DRY, but now we’re keeping the humidity in that 30–50% range and it’s such a relief: my skin isn’t so dry, my scalp isn’t itchy, my nasal passages feel better, and it just feels better to breathe. This humidifer is similar to the model we’re using, though I got ours at Costco.
Playful sheets. I feel like we made the switch from crisp white linens to fun and funky prints forever ago, but my email order history tells me nope, it was just last May. It all began when I fell in love with this specific floral set on Anthropologie—and Will and I loved it so much we then impulse bought more soon-to-be-discontinued patterns when they went on deep discount in the summer. The colorful sheets provide a little burst of cheerfulness, and also—in my opinion—they’re easier to keep looking fresh than white ones.
Quirk and funk. I’ve really been trying to loosen up and have fun with low-stakes house stuff, trying things that may seem a little out there (by my standards) but that feel like us. We’ve brought in bolder colors, hung wallpaper, bought beautiful art that spoke to us on the spot—and it’s feeling really good and warm in my house. My mind keeps coming back to this this House Beautiful piece I read late last year that talks about “the twin goalposts of quirk and funk” that guided one individual through a satisfying home design project. The phrase has been in my mind ever since. My version of “funky” may be pretty buttoned-up to most people but I’m enjoying the experimentation—and its results.
Candle service. “Evening candles” was on my 2024 list as well, but this year I’ve thought about it a bit differently, thanks to our MMD Book Club author talk with Paige Harbison about her novel The Other Side of Now. During our conversation she described her own strikingly familiar ritual of evening candles, but she did me one better by giving hers a name: “candle service.” I loved her phrase and adopted it immediately, and have found the small change in semantics elevates the way I’ve thought about our own little ritual.
Instant Pot. We’ve had this for years but I worked it hard this year. Sure, I could get the same results by planning ahead a little more, but that didn’t happen in 2025 … so it was often Instant Pot to the rescue come dinner hour. Favorite recipes (that I’ve already shared in Links I Love, in case these sound familiar) are BBQ pulled chicken, Pressure Cooker Lentil Soup with Sausage, and Pasta Bolognese.
Personal care
Lip care. It took me decades to figure out the moisturizer + Aquaphor combo but it is MAGIC. (If you need it spelled out for you, like I did: I’m talking a good basic moisturizer like Cerave or Vanicream, under the Aqhaphor, ideally with a few minutes between the application of each product.) How did I not know this already?
Hair care. I was way too proud when my stylist called my hair “so healthy!” recently. My hair has mostly been a source of angst these past few years: I’ve lost a bunch (due to stress or perimenopause or some combination thereof) and dealing with that has been rough. I’m relieved it’s more or less grown back, and I’m taking care to keep it happy. Instead of putting it up in a ponytail at night, I’ve been using these mini jaw clips to secure it in a bun, with the goal being less breakage. Product-wise, for the past year I’ve been loving this leave-in conditioner or the Color Wow’s Extra Strength Dream Coat Ultra-Moisturizing Anti-frizz Treatment, along with the Olaplex 7 bonding oil.
Play
College sports. I’m sorry to say but “the ESPN app” might actually be what’s working for me: it’s made it much easier to root for my team in my college sports-obsessed city. I wasn’t much of a fan during our all too recent scandal-ridden years here in Louisville, but after bringing in new coaches I was ready to be a fan again—but watching the games without a pricey tv package was a challenge. This year we got the new ESPN app and have tuned in to nearly every basketball and football game. We’ve also gotten to attend the occasional game, which has been a blast. I’ve enjoyed being a fan again. (Even if last night’s game was brutal.)
Coffee adventures with Will. (Pictured up top) I wrote about this (with pics!) in one of those good old-fashioned newsletters I mentioned above, but the short version is this: when my husband and I realized just how many new coffee shops have opened in town these past few years that we haven’t yet visited, we made a list and got to work. I’ve enjoyed our low stakes project, especially how it’s gotten us out into unfamiliar neighborhoods.
Concerts. Live music was a source of much joy in 2025. Will and I went to several by ourselves, and then another with our teenagers when we were traveling for our daughter’s first college family weekend. Thanks to a cancellation for a much-anticipated concert in September 2025, Will and I already have a concert on the books for fall. It’s nice to have something to look forward to.
Good shows with the kids. How I love cozying up on the couch and watching something good together. With the kids, we’ve seen Severance, Silo, and most recently, The Pitt. (We’re so excited it’s coming back this week!) Will and I also enjoyed several shows on our own, especially The Diplomat and Shrinking. (We can’t wait for that to finally come back later this month.) Do you have recommendations for what we should watch next? I’d appreciate them!
I’d love to hear what worked for YOU in 2025, and what didn’t, and why. Tell us all about it in comments.
P.S. I’ll be sharing what DIDN’T work for me in 2025 in the newsletter this weekend. Click here to make sure you’re on the list.

Love this list! A great show that we (and our teenager) enjoyed recently was The Residence on Netflix.
My family loved The Residence! I could easily do a re-watch of that show.
I loved The Residence! I was sad when it wasn’t given a second season.
We loved that one! (So much, maybe we should watch it again?)
We recently binged the Rookie with the kids and now we are all hooked for this new season
Hi, Anne! I’ve been so fortunate to read and listen to your work from the very beginning, but have never commented. Your mention of another rough year prompts me to tell you this morning how much your writing has meant to me over the years, including——yes——the recent ones that also have been rough for me and my family. Know that your work is valued by many who perhaps haven’t had a chance to tell you. I wish you a better 2026.
Emily, welcome to the comments section! Thank you so much for your kind message. Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
I will start with your Links I Love posts–I look forward to Friday mornings and your Links I Love appearing in my inbox. Some Fridays I just scroll, other Fridays I’m still sitting with a cup and coffee reading each and every link. I love to listen to nonfiction–I feel it helps me more easily absorb the books.
Now for the “what didn’t work” or rather why 2025 was such a bad/difficult/horrible year for me. In January I was so ill with the flu–I had not been sick since before covid! The flu morphed into pneumonia which I had never had before. In March I developed one huge case of hives–I’m talking huge, swollen, red hives all over my body. My lips and eyes swelled, the bottom of my feet, my palms–and they itched unbearably. And they would not go away, Antihistamines did nothing, two different biologic injectables did nothing, and finally in November I was given a newly FDA released pill specifically developed for this disease. Tubes and tubes of blood were drawn screening me for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Finally I was diagnosed with an autoimmune type disease I had never heard of–Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria. From the time I took the first pill I have had no more hives. I turned 70 during the hives debacle and was unable to celebrate in any way. It was such a hard time–my friends would say, “what are you allergic to”–nothing, it isn’t an allergic disease in my case. One shining light in those long months of doing nothing but itching was the support of my dear husband–he was amazing!
I was ready to see 2025 in my rear view mirror! Now 2026 is here and I was looking forward to moving on from health issues. I started walking more and exercising with weights. Trying to eat better after the holidays. Two days ago my 89 year old mother fell and broke her hip, yesterday she had surgery. She had lived alone, now I’m afraid we may have some hard decisions to make.
Thank you Anne for all you do–I have read so many good books because of you!
Janna, it sounds like 2025 was a real doozy, to put it mildly. I’m so glad to hear you finally got some medical answers, and that there was a shining light in the midst of the difficulties. I’m wishing you a much more peaceful and light 2026, and sending lots of love and good wishes to you and your mother.
Janna, I just have to say “I SEE YOU.” I started the year with 4 months of chronic hives, that one week disappeared in the same way they had spontaneously appeared. Mine were also not caused by allergies, so I totally understand. I could not have understood how completely disruptive and debilitating itchiness can be if I had not experienced it myself. It sounds like it was a terrible experience and I’m so glad you’ve found a treatment plan that works for your body. It can be lonely to have a rare chronic illness. I only wrote about my experience once on my substack, but if it serves you and helps you feel less alone, here it is: https://substack.com/@sashawarner/p-157744177 (sorry, I never comment, so I have no idea how to make it clickable for you) Good luck, Janna. I hope your symptoms continue to be managed well.
Hi Janna, I am so intensely interested in your comments about Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria. My 26 year old son has been having trouble with hives for about 18 months and there has been no discernable cause. He’s very fair and has had eczema since he was born, so the first couple of dermatologists related it to this. And they all want to talk about hidden stress – this kid is chill to the point of catatonic. And it’s not an act. He is using his out-of-state- tuition college degree to teach ski lessons in Lake Tahoe for a gap year (that’s lasted 3) before going to PT school. And he is honestly such a happy, fun, calm person. He’s frustrated and now thinks going to the the doctor (which I’m trying to convince him of from across the country) is pointless. “I keep trying to convince these doctors that I’m not anxious or hiding some big mental issue!” If you don’t mind me asking, are you taking Rhapsido?
Hello!
You have mentioned spontaneous urticaria and I wanted to share our story, maybe it will have some insight. Our daughter went to Catholic schools from PreK through 4th grade. In 3rd grade, I’d get a call from school that she was covered in hives! We took her to our allergist and he did rigorous testing, no major allergies to cause such horrendous hives. He recommended double doses of antihistamine to knock down hives. A year later, I figured out that these hives were caused by severe stress. We took her out of Catholic school and moved her to public schools. That was 4 years ago. She hasn’t had a single episode of hives since she left Catholic schools! Consider extreme stress as a possible cause?
A couple of years ago, I was inspired by Anne’s annual list of What Worked & Did Not Work, and I started a monthly practice of “What Worked/ Delights/Pleasures” and “What Did Not Work/ Difficult/ Struggling With.” This version of journaling and reflection has become so valuable to me. I can look back and see the things that appear every month & each season (quiet morning vibes -dogs, blankets, tea; what’s blooming; cut flowers from Trader Joe’s; light – winter sunsets, summer morning light, a Tiffany lampshade find; showing up; connection – sending annual Valentines cards to friends & family). Many thanks for the inspiration!
Celeste, I’m so glad you found inspiration and then made it your own. Wishing you a wonderful 2026!
My go-to lip trick is a tube of lanolin, from the baby aisle. The kind sold for sore nips.
Way cheaper than lanolips, same impact.
This is a great list. I am attempting to keep a running list of things I love on my phone, so that I too can reflect at the end of the year.
Lisa, the running list is so smart! (I keep one too, but I don’t usually think to start it until fall. I should start now!)
Anne, thank you so much for all of the thoughtful delight you have shared over all these years. You and the MMD community have been around for me during some of my rough times. And I was always grateful for the kindness and the diversion.
I am 65 years old and how am I this old and didn’t know about moisturizing lips. I have spent so much money on lip balms and oils, and gloss, etc. Thank you-cannot wait to try this!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to YOU, Michelle! I’m glad MMD brought us together.
Michelle, I so agree!!! My lips have been sooooo dry this year. I’m 66 and have used aquaphor and Burt’s Bees, Chapstick, and so many other balms. I can’t wait to try the Cerave and vanicream.
Anne, I’m also ready to abandon the white sheets and get some happy color in my bedding. I love the link you shared.
Thank you for sharing your list with us! I enjoy the Links I Love posts very much. I also like reading the comments. I have learned so much from those. I use Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve faithfully in winter now, for example, after reading. When I walk in to Trader Joe’s the post about buying flowers comes to mind…really, all the posts touch my life in some way, and thank you very much!
Burt’s Bees medicated lip balm is amazing, BTW.
Here’s hoping with you that 2026 is a better year for all of us!
Years ago, I had to go to the doctor for severely chapped lips. Painful, cracked and bleeding. I was embarrassed to go see my doctor for something seemingly so minor. She gave me a prescription and also advised me to only use Aquaphor and to ditch Chapstick, Carmex, etc. I now never leave my home without it.
I get chapped hands too in the winter as I’m outdoors a lot and I put Aquaphor on my hands at night and wear gloves to heal them when they get really bad.
Enjoyed this posting. Thank you. Happy New Year all.
I used to get super chapped hands, but adding a “liner glove” under my mittens has changed my life!
Ruth, I’m honored to be with you in spirit on your TJ’s runs! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
I have also taken these two questions as my way of reviewing my year, as well as other things — Thanks Anne!
But I haven’t sat down and properly answered these questions for 2025 yet.
Here’s what comes to mind at the moment in the ‘what is working’ column:
1. The system I developed to find the ‘right’ books for me, based almost entirely on things I’ve learned from Anne. I’d say I have a higher than 90% success rate on choosing book I at least enjoy, and often love.
2. Daily writing practice (and the community that has developed around me on Substack)
3. Taking active steps to support/repair my body (my new best friend is my physio), and actually doing the exercises in a disciplined manner
4. My Shakti mat (acupressure) — I got this recommendation from Beth Silvers from Pantsuit Politics
5. Making walking a big part of my day. The benefits are way bigger than physical.
That’s what springs to mind at the moment.
And these are my takeaways from your list: I’m going to immediate search out the CeraVe lip product — I’m a die hard user of the hand cream, and I’m going to get a humidifier. We live in the driest place in Canada. Not sure why it has taken me so long to consider it.
Thanks Anne!
I’d love to hear more about your system for choosing books. I’m trying to figure it out for myself too. I find I get so swayed by the best of lists and popular books. But those aren’t always what’s right for me
Christi — You’ve inspired me to write a proper post about this question. It’s a ‘system’ (I use that word lightly) that has developed over as many as 5 years as I bemoaned my towering TBR, chasing the newest release, reading too many books I didn’t actually enjoy, and a complete lack of confidence in my ability to choose.
For now, I’d say the key is to practice this phrase in your head — ‘This book sounds great, BUT NOT FOR ME.’
Until you figure out ‘what WORKS for YOU’, having a TBR pile you love won’t happen by chance.
Everything I’ve learned about my reading life came through Anne’s wise words — I just figured out a ‘system’ that works for me.
If you are interested in hearing more, I’ll post something on my Substack, Jumble of Sea Glass, in the next few weeks.
https://jumbleofseaglass.substack.com
JL, Thank you for sharing your takeaways! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
Anne — I was so inspired this year with your ‘What works’ question that I’m posting a homage called:
“What worked for you in 2025?
The top 5 things that worked for me this year and why. My 2026 reading challenge. And why my brush with writerly fame made me so happy.” <— spoiler alert — it involves Catherine Newman!
It will be live on Sunday morning (Jan 11). But…….
Modern Mrs Darcy doesn't have a presence on Substack, so while I will tag you — I'm pretty sure that is you, — @annebogel — that's all I can do (other than linking the episode, the website, and the post directly.)
Anyway — I'm 'homage'-ing you here. 😉
Anne – I so enjoy your annual lists! I had to be stern with myself not to order a set of sheets after seeing the gorgeous options!
My best – and biggest- “what went well” choice was to take a sabbatical from every organization I was leading or a member of. My daughter was diagnosed with a serious brain illness and tomorrow goes for her fourth brain surgery in two years. It’s a frightening time for our small family and I have been overwhelmed for months. With that decision I have been able to lay down all the angst from commitments to social justice organizations and focus on my family, my home and my neighborhood. I realize that I may never return to many of those commitments, so the quote you shared was particularly meaningful for me. Thank you for all you share with us, Anne.
Jennifer, good for you for prioritizing what works best for you and your family. Good luck and prayers for your daughter.
Thank you so much!
Jenn
Jennifer, I’m so glad your big decision is serving you and your family well, and that Annie Dillard hit home. I’m sending lots of love and steadiness to you and your daughter. She’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Volunteering is what has always made all the difference in my life mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Since I retired I’m able to do a lot more. I’m fully convinced that what I do for people and animals helps me even more than it helps them.
I’m also a huge fan of “Severance” and “Silo” and I just finished watching “Pluribus” (also on Apple TV). It’s a really beautifully-shot, thought-provoking show—about an author, no less! Rhea Seahorn is fantastic in the lead role.
I’m intrigued by what I’ve heard of this one so far—thank you for the recommendation! I had no idea it was about an author.
Anne, MMD book club, your newsletters, the list of weekly book deals all were things that worked for me in 2025. Thank you. Also I love Don’t Overthink It. The essays are meaningful but also fun to read. Thank you.
Rita, thank you so much for your kind message!
Hi Anne,
I am so grateful to have found you!!! You share so many great things and your website is so rich with many wonderful things!!! You have helped my reading life in so many ways. I now have a to-be-read book list that is way too long. Yet what a blessing 🙂 Now I need a better system to decide how to priortize which ones.
I also look forward to your Links I Love each week!!! So many wonderful treasures you share with us so very grateful.
Finally, this end of the year what worked and what didn’t is great tool. So sorry you had a rough year, prayers for a better 2026!!! Thank you again for all you do and your whole staff team!!!!
Michelle, thanks so much for the kind words! Wishing you a wonderful 2026.
Just dropping in to say that is because of you that I now use(ALMOST exclusively, but I occasionally use other brands – Rifle Paper has gorgeous ones) Leuchtturm journals. The lined ones are my go-to preference, and they ALWAYS work for me. But wanted to thank you for making me aware of this brand. And I grew up on Cape Cod, so that the word means “lighthouse” is just too good!
May your 2026 be filled with blessings.
Allison, I’m delighted to have made the introduction! I’m glad they’re serving you well.
I am so happy to see Links I Love is something that works for you!
I want to share how much I enjoy this newsletter every week! I receive it on Friday and wait to read it with my Saturday AM coffee. It may seem like a little thing but it is my way of kicking off the weekend that I look forward to every week!
Just to say Thanks for sending it!
Ellen, thank you for the lovely compliment! I’m honored to be part of your Saturday coffee ritual.
Since you have Apple TV, I recommend For All Mankind, The Morning Show, The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, Palm Royale, Stick, and Loot. Can you tell I got into Apple TV this year?
Thank you for the recommendations!
Thanks for the shows with teens recs! We are also in that stage of life and it can be hard to find shows that make everyone happy. We are currently (re-)watching Ted Lasso and Dickinson with our teens!
We have watched and rewatched so much Ted Lasso around here! I don’t know Dickinson; I’ll look it up, thank you!
So funny that this was the year you could “do” non-fiction on audio. I’ve always been a non-fiction only listener but this year I did eight works of fiction on audio. Lucky us, we’ve expanded our options!
Lucky us!
Inspired by these posts, this year I started a document for myself to track notes about what worked & didn’t for recurring things in my life (Fall/Halloween, Christmas, family vacations, book clubs). In the Christmas section, I took notes like “too many cookies, just stick with these 3 favorite kinds” and “in November, buy Christmas sprinkles and molasses before it sells out” For our annual family vacation, it’s “place a grocery pickup order for the night we arrive and the night we arrive back home” and “bring chip clips and aluminum foil to the vacation house.” It’s a little bit like the concept “decide once” from The Lazy Genius.
Wait–how do I watch games on the ESPN app without a pricey streaming service??? (And thank you for this list. I look forward to this post every year!)
Oh, it’s pricey, and it’s streaming, but I’m still grateful for the option. I imagine we’ll drop it when college basketball season is over and pick it up again when college football starts in the fall.
This year was rough for many reasons but becoming a grandma ranks at the top of my “what worked for me” list. I had no idea…
Anne — Did you do anything, or take anything specific to help with your hair regrowth? I’m going through the same thing. And while it’s stopped falling out (thanks to leaving a toxic job) it’s not growing back! I’d love to know your tips and tricks!
I would, too, as I’m struggling with the same thing.
I played more defense (protecting what I had by minimizing breakage) instead of offense (attempting to prompt regrowth); I tried some supplements but I don’t know that they really did much. (Probably worth noting that at my stylist’s suggestion, I checked in with my doctor to make sure I wasn’t dealing with a medical problem—I was truly alarmed by her numerous stories about being the first one to catch numerous clients’ medical issues because of the symptom of hair loss!)
I had this same issue in 2021. The hair, skin, and nails gummy vitamins really helped me, and I also started taking a B Complex vitamin every day. My hair, which was always thick, grew back even thicker than before it fell out! Also, I used Grow Long shampoo and conditioner, and I’ve continued using these hair products and the vitamins even after my hair has grown back! I had a pulmonary embolism, so my body was basically diverting all of its energy to saving my life and fighting the clot, and all extraneous responsibilities (like holding onto hair LOL) fell to the wayside.
