In 1990 I decided not to use the commercially made shampoos after reading Aubrey Hampton’s book, “Natural Organic Hair and Skin Care.” In this book Aubrey tells you how to read the label on any product that you put on your skin or hair.
Manufacturers are constantly using toxic chemicals in their skin and hair products and disregard their toxic effects on your body. This is easily seen in the list of chemicals that they use. Here are a few of these chemicals found in many product labels:
* propylene glycol or glycol- a petrochemical used because it is cheap
* cetearyl alcohol - emulsifier that can be synthetic or natural
* methylparaben or propylparaben - typical synthetic preservatives
* distearate - this is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol which are petrochemicals
* isopropyl alcohol - used as a cheap solvent to carry synthetic oils.
Here is a natural shampoo that you can make. This formulation is something that I have been using for many years. First collect the following items:
4 oz of castile soap with any scent is that available - plain, peppermint, eucalyptus.
oz of rosemary - stimulates the hair follicles and helps to prevent premature baldness
oz of sage - has antioxidants and keeps things from spoiling and is antibacterial
oz of nettles - acts as a blood purifier, blood stimulator, contains a large source of nutrients for hair growth
of lavender - controls the production of sebaceous gland oil and reduces itchy and flaky scalp conditions
2000 mg of MSM - provides organic sulfur to your scalp, which improves the health and strength of your hair. It also helps to drive herbal nutrient into the skin and follicles where they can do the most good.
one empty 8 oz plastic bottle, or any other empty shampoo or soap bottle.
Mix the herbs in a mason jar, which has a lid. Boil 2 cups of distilled water. Add 3 heaping tablespoons of the mixed herbs into the boiling water. Pull the boiling water and herbs off the stove. Let the herb mixture sit for 30 - 40 minutes. Put the 2000mg of MSM into the herb mixture after 30 minutes of cooling. After 40 minutes and the MSM is melted, strain the herbal mixture into a bowl.
Pour 2 to 2 1/2 oz of strained herbal tea into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Now, pour the 4 oz of castile soap into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Cap the bottle and shake to mix the ingredients.
The shampoo is now finished and ready for use. Use this as a base for all of the shampoos you make. You can add different herbs as you learn what these herbs do and how they help your hair. You can vary the ingredients according to your taste. But now you have a shampoo that has no additives that can harm you.

No More Tears Please
Is it just me or has anyone else had just about enough of Mark
Messier and compulsive crying? Messier’s number 11 was retired
and hoisted to the rafters of Madison Square Garden Thursday
night and once again the tears flowed uncontrollably from the
instant the ceremony began. The future Hall of Fame Center wept
immediately when his name was announced and the torrent of tears
began as he walked down the red carpet towards the microphone at
Center Ice. The crying continued sporadically throughout the
painfully long ceremony and Messier put an exclamation point on
a legacy that remembers him as perhaps the most prolific crier
ever in the history of sports.
I certainly don’t want to come off as insensitive nor do I wish
to diminish what was otherwise a great career by one of the best
hockey players ever but for gods sakes enough of the blatting.
I’ve literally watched this man cry countless times. He cried
winning each of his 6 Stanley Cups, cried when he won the Heart
Trophy, cried when he won the Conn Smyth Trophy, cried when
Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles, cried when he was traded to
the Rangers, cried when he was traded from the Rangers to the
Canucks, cried accepting his Captaincy upon arriving in
Vancouver, cried when he was traded back to New York, cried when
arriving in New York at the press conference, cried when his
number was retired in Edmonton, cried when he retired when
no-one really cared, and finally cried last night getting his
number retired in New York. Enough already.
The good news is Mark Messier’s crying should soon end as his
Hall of Fame induction appears to be his last opportunity for
showing his tender, heart on his sleeve persona. That will
certainly be a relief for a guy that makes Dick Vermeil look
like a hard ass in comparison. Can you possibly imagine watching
“Ole Yeller’ with this guy?
Anyway I needed to get that off my chest and I do feel better
now. My only hope for Messier’s future is he doesn’t get into
coaching or managing at the NHL level and he disappears from the
spotlight. Then perhaps the healing can begin.
You are always late to the office by a few minutes and after the full day’s work you have to travel back by public transport, you don’t get time to spend with your children and this leaves you in a state of helplessness. Your condition is worsening day by day. Its time to buy a car! Thinking how? Get a New Car Loan!
A car loan is a type of credit offered by a bank or other financial lender for the specific purpose of buying a vehicle. It is the most admired and most supple option when you need finance for your car.
Advantages of availing a car loan
You are in the position of being a ‘cash buyer’, which enables you to negotiate a better price for the car.
You can buy a car privately rather than through a dealer.
You can sell the car at any time if you wish to do so.
You own the car at the outset and the loan is not secured on the vehicle.
Almost all car loans are simple interest car loans so you have to pay only on the principal amount.
When going in for a car loan you have to keep certain things in mind. First is the prepayment penalty. If you pay off your loan early, then you may have to pay a heavy penalty to the lender.
Whenever you want to avail a car loan make sure that you shop around and get yourself the best car loan available in the market. You must also make a list of how much non-car related expenses you would have so that you can pay off your car loan on time, making that vehicle forever yours.
One last thing, when you go in for a car loan the car dealer offers you a deal which is quite attractive on paper though it may have hidden additional charges. Be wary of such offers. Always shop around to get yourself the best deal.
Just don’t wait to get a car loan for you deserve something good and after all for how long will you slog to drive your won vehicle?

Q. I have just recently come to recognize that I don’t handle change very well, although my husband and friends have told me that for years. I seem to have trouble with changes that are out of my control. And then when I try to change things I want to change, I just don’t know what to do and get bogged down. What do you recommend?
A.
I believe that most people do not like change because they either don’t know how to respond to it or they respond poorly.
One way to think about this is that change is like waves on the beach. Just like change, waves are relentless and can be powerful, and there’s really only three things you can do with a wave: Let it knock you down, survive it or ride it.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these three ways to handle change.
We let the waves of change knock us down when we take what I call the dead roach approach to change - flat on our back, feet in the air and just out of control.
You can tell you are taking this approach when you say things such as:
“I’m so stressed out!”
“I can’t take this!”
“This isn’t fair!”
“Why does this always have to happen to me?”
Doesn’t surviving change sound like a good thing to want to do? Though in a few cases it’s really the only thing you can do, it really isn’t the optimal approach to take. I don’t know about you, but merely surviving doesn’t sound like a very compelling way to live.
If you’re thinking or saying these things, you’ve probably settled on merely surviving:
“How can I get through this?”
“What’s the worst that could happen here?”
“I don’t know if I can take this.”
“What can I do to get by?”
The problem with taking a survival approach is that you just merely get by. When you’re ready to do more than just get by, it’s time to begin managing change.
Riding the waves of change means moving from a state of survival to a state I call “thrival.” Thrival is simply the process of making change work for you.
Here are some questions to ask to begin to learn how to thrive on change:
How can I make this work for me?
What’s good about this?
What does this change allow me to do that I couldn’t do before?
What positive things might this change force me to do.
Change is inevitable. How we handle it is optional. Make the choice to ride the waves and you’re likely to create a compelling life for yourself.
