(English is not my first language) It's a bit of a nervous habit of mine to "clean" under my natural nails (with my other nails) since I was little, but I fear I've pushed my nail beds back too much :')

The first photo is my usual nail shape when dry, the second one is right after a shower where I feel the "whites" as they're "supposed to be" show, probably because of the moisture. (I hope I make sense, not sure how else to explain)

I'm trying really hard to quit the habit but I'm wondering if it's at all still possible to salvage my nail beds with a lot of patience, or if I've ruined them for life? I feel like it's thrown off the ratio of the white part of my nail vs the skin colored part of my nail plate, as it often looks like an inverted curve rather than a nice curved edge. Because of it I dislike the look of my nails, especially when I do try to apply regular polish french tips once in a blue moon.

Hoping someone can help, thanks in advance!

Hey all, my first ever Reddit post turns out to be an ask for help.

​

I have an expensive, still empty sketchbook which I'd been saving for a large project, that a family member tore a page out of. It snapped the threads that keep the first two signatures together. They're loose and just shy of falling out :/

​

It's a hardcover, and I have no idea how best to fix it as I have never attempted anything like this before, so I figured I'd ask here if that's okay!
