THE REAL PINOCHIO

I cant be sure, but I think- my nose is getting bigger. I don't exactly have evidence- but i mean- look at this! i mean i know its not a close up, but just use your imagination... thankfully- there is a solution!

And if this doesnt work, Rudolph is in season!

1. • Understand cartilage: Cartilage is malleable connective tissue that protects bones from rubbing together too much so whatever you do to it will not move.
   • Cartilage is also used by the body to shape and support other structures, including the nose.
   • Over a lifespan cartilage can be replaced by bone in certain areas, including the nose.
   • Cartilage can be manipulated because it is made principally of water, about 70% of cartilage is water.
   • Cartilage can be redistributed with movement, but cannot be made smaller with pressure.
   • Other components of cartilage include collagen, proteoglycans, and chondrocytes, proteins and cells that help support and build the cartilage.
2. Understand that to make your nose temporarily smaller using this method you are doing home surgery by manipulating the cartilage in your nose.
3. Wash or moisten your nose area. This isn't compulsory, but it's a little easier to do this on smooth skin.
4. Hold the top of your nose with your thumb and index finger.
5. Slowly bring your fingers to the sides of your nose. Don't press or pull because this might make the nose bloat up a little bigger and can damage the cartilage.
6. Do this for two to three minutes, starting at the top of your nose each time.
7. Repeat about 50 times a day or even more.
8. The results may be visible in 2-3 months time.
9. As soon as you stop, and if you have not permanently disfigured your nose, your nose will return to its normal shape.

wow looks like i found a new hobbie!!! hahaha
