I feel like a kid at Christmas! I am so excited I could pee. Srsly. It’s that friggin’ cool kiddies! This new chapter in my life, the chapter I have lovingly dubbed Chapter 35 (figure it out) has so far been the best chapter of my life (outside of the obvious road blocks I am still trying to over come) for various reasons y’all wouldn’t even begin to understand. You know, it’s all tha

I recently received an update from BlogHer regarding upcoming ad campaigns, most specifically dealing with political ads. Ho hum. I don't pay a lot of attention to these campaigns other than to smile that I'm included. I like my monthly little check. I don't like to think of the hours that went into them, because when I think in those terms...well, let's just say that I make a lot less than mi

Q. I've been using at-home color kits for a year, and now my ends are darker than the rest of my hair. Why is this happening?A. Since the bottom inches of your hair are drier than the rest of your mane (especially since you've been chemically treating them), they absorb more color and require less time to process than the rest of your hair, says Monika Sullivan, owner of Studio Biba in Atlanta. Th

Q. Is it possible to heal damaged hair? If your strands are already dead, how can you feed them nutrients?A. Since your locks don't have a digestive system, it's impossible to feed them nutrients from a bottle. What shampoos and conditioners can do is help stressed-out tresses look healthier by coating the cuticle and even filling in holes with ingredients like fatty acids, proteins, and silicone.

Q. My hair gets so staticky this time of year. What can I do to tame it?A. Static strikes your strands when they become electromagnetically charged due to a lack of moisture in the air. Vigorous brushing and wool hats make it worse. Try switching to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner during the winter, and follow up with a leave-in conditioner, says Dianna Sandonato, director of product testin

Q. More hair than usual is coming out when I shampoo (the shower drain is totally clogged). Am I going bald?A. Don't panic — most likely you are not losing your hair for good, assures Christopher Mackin, resident trichologist at Gil Ferrer Salon in NYC. You normally lose between 70 and 120 strands a day. Altering your diet, starting or ending a medication, or experiencing a lot of stress in the

The only thing that baffles us more than boys is our hair. We receive tons of e-mail from readers with troubling tress questions. Read on for the answers to some of the most common (and bizarre) ones.Q. Why does my hair look totally fabulous one day but crappy the next, even when I style it the same way?A.

Sometimes being a parent is like being in middle management. You have not only a whole host of issues to deal with in relation to the kids, but grandparents can introduce another set. Grandparents in the parenting mix present all the issues of influence from others, but with the obvious added wrinkle that they have a special relationship to both the parents and the children.So, how does a parent maximize all the good things grandparents bring, while minimizing some of the potential difficulties?Grandparents can offer enormous value by sharing the wisdom of long experience. After all, they have raised children before and most parents will want to believe they did a good job. For such advice to be valuable, however, it has to be delivered at the right time and in the right way.Grandparents w

Oh dear, Oh dear. When pondering the matter of this week’s blog post, my mind turned again to all things green and leafy, and for the first time I considered the horrifying possibility that computers may contribute to environmental degradation. Of course, in an attempt assuage my impending guilt, of catholic proportions, I decided that I had to research this matter further and write about it. A form of confession to Mother Nature if you will.  The first surprise was that while this seems like something of an obscure issue, it is actually one into which extensive research has been carried out, both by the United Nations University and by the Information Technology and Environment Initiative.  The rest of the surprises were less heartening. The danger that computers pose to the environment is multifaceted. Firstly, there’s the question of the labour and energy-intensive process that goes into their manufacture. Secondly, there are the health concerns associated w

"For every problem there is a solution...and for every solution, a new problem is created!" If you don't know exactly what I mean, give it some time.Back in the day, I remember working for many successful Ad Shooters, all of them with their large production staffs and doting assistants, fancy name brand camera gear and super fast Workstation Computers, complete with screaming fast 120 megahertz processors. Some of these guys even had their computers maxed out with 64 or even 96 megabytes of RAM. ZOWEEE BATMAN! At the time , I couldn't imagine ever being able to compete on a level playing field with most of these guys, they had all the right stuff and a staff of artisans to massage and manipulate every pixel of there drum scanned celluloid masterpieces. No image ever left their studio without the magic touch of Photoshop Manipulation by a highly paid Digital Retoucher. Nowadays those same computers wouldn't even have the processing power to check my e-mail, let alone run Photoshop.

(Or, The Stuff That Is Making My Brain Explode Today) This is me thinking out loud. Please feel free to give advice or ignore me, as you feel so inclined. 1. Should I send Bub to JK this September as planned? Pro: My next-door neighbour works at the school and recommended a good teacher for me to request. This teacher had an autistic boy in her class last year, and since the classes are a

Pics of the Day ~ Becca in Palm Springs and Ethan as Strong as CA’s Govenor! hehe ~ Becca, Ethan and I have been extremely busy the past few days. I am exhausted, yet content. You know how I like to stay busy Monday was play date at Holly & Jamie’s house, always a good time. We had missed two weeks and had a lot to catch up on!

Ethan and I are escaping to Anaheim to a Scholastic Book Warehouse Sale!!! Books … Sale … Drool … Becca t

I've spent this evening finally drafting the covering letter for yet another job application. I know this is the first one I will have applied for in a fair few months now, but it is a terribly depressing process. Selling oneself on paper is really hard to do - I'm not good at selling myself in any case but I don't want to keep saying 'I this' or 'I that'. Helpful guidance from the snopes message board stressed the importance of focussing on how your skills will be of benefit to the prospective employer, which is what I have tried to do. I just can't help feeling that what I have written is terribly wooly and unconvincing. Still, at least a draft has been achieved. I've sent it to Mum for a read and suggestions and will aim to send it off first thing Saturday morning.The thing I was really uncertain about was contacting someone I work with to ask if they would be a referee for me. My boss won't be a problem, he's been aware of previous applications. I just don't wan
