Brokerage Standards Manual
VIII. Year End Reports and Office Inspections
Exceptions Regarding Annual Financial Reporting
(a) Filing A Notice To Reader
Under section 7-7(2.1) of the Rules, RECBC may authorize a brokerage to file financial statements that have been subject to a notice to reader prepared by an accountant if all of the following conditions are met:
- for a minimum of 3 consecutive fiscal years immediately preceding the date of authorization, the brokerage has satisfied RECBC with respect to its annual financial filings, and
- during those 3 fiscal years there have been no significant trust account or general books and records exceptions
- reported in relation to the brokerage in its annual Accountant's Report, or
- discovered in any review by RECBC of the brokerage's accounts and other records;
- RECBC is satisfied that, at the end of each of those 3 fiscal years, the brokerage's current assets exceeded its current liabilities.
The RECBC may withdraw an authorization to file a Notice to Reader report if:
- the brokerage does not file financial statements that comply,
- a trust account or general books and records exception has been reported or discovered in relation to the brokerage, or
- RECBC is not satisfied that the brokerage's current assets exceed its current liabilities at the end of any fiscal year.
Before withdrawing an authorization to file a Notice to Reader report, RECBC must give the brokerage notice of its intention to do so and the reasons.
(b) No Public Trust Money
As an alternative to filing an Accountant's Report, a brokerage that did not hold or receive any public trust money during the fiscal year to which the financial statements relate may file with RECBC a solemn declaration, completed in accordance with section 4-9.1 of the Council Bylaws, respecting
(a) that fiscal year, or
(b) if the brokerage did not carry on business for the entire fiscal year, that part of the fiscal year for which the brokerage did carry on business.
The Rules define "public trust money" as all money held or received by a brokerage and to which section 27(1), (2) or (3) of RESA applies, except remuneration that has already been earned, as determined in accordance with the Rules, by the brokerage at the time it is held or received by the brokerage.
A Trust Account Declaration form to be used for making a solemn declaration in this regard is available on the RECBC's website at www.recbc.ca.

Compatible Classes: Breakdancer, Cantor, Harmonicist, Maestro.
Songweavers have the following class features:
Scores: A score is a piece of music containing a number of melodies. Intros, outros, and melodies are drawn from the songweaver's composition book. Each score must contain a single melody, no intro, and no outro. The number of scores with which a songweaver begins play, as well as the rate at which she gains new scores and the rate at which those scores gain additional melody slots, are dependent upon her base composition class. A songweaver's composer level is also dependent upon her base composition class.
To prepare or use a score, a songweaver's composition ability score must be equal to at least 12 + the number of melodies in the score. The Difficulty Class (DC) for a saving throw against a songweaver's score is 10 + 1/2 the songweaver's class level + her composition ability modifier.
This ability modifies scores.
Composition: A songweaver's ability to modify her scores, daily replenishment of conducting duration, daily conducting duration per score, and ability to record compositions to her composition book are all based on her base composition class.
A songweaver begins play with a composition book containing 1 outro. Her composition book also begins play with melodies equal to 3 + her composition ability modifier, minimum 3. At each new songweaver level, she gains two compositions for which she meets all of the prerequisites.
Unlike other practitioners of musical composition, a songweaver may never learn intros unless she knows a special type of score that contains intros, such as a breakdancer's drop.
This ability modifies composition.
Bridge: Starting at 1st level, a songweaver masters the use of bridges, music that literally bridges the gap between the main body of a piece and its conclusion. A bridge is a special type of score that contains only a single outro. Unlike a standard score, a bridge cannot be conducted through the use of the conduct composition class feature. A songweaver has half as many bridges as she does standard scores, rounded down. If one of the songweaver's ongoing standard scores has been conducted for at least three rounds, including this round, she may conduct a bridge as a standard action. The outro effect contained in the bridge immediately takes effect, and ends the score immediately. At the beginning of the songweaver's next turn, she must begin to conduct a different standard score as a free action. As such, if a songweaver has only a single score with duration remaining, or if the songweaver is a harmonicist who is currently conducting all of her scores with duration remaining, she does not have a legal source to bridge to in the following round and cannot use a bridge as a result.
A songweaver cannot perform a bridge and a drop in the same round.
When a songweaver studies her composition book to prepare her scores, she also prepares her bridges.
Verse: Starting at 1st level, a songweaver masters the use of verse, or music that tells a lyrical story within a larger musical whole. A verse is a special type of score that contains only a single melody. Unlike a standard score, a verse cannot be conducted through the use of the conduct composition class feature. A songweaver has as many verses as she does scores. Whenever the songweaver begins to conduct a score or whenever she chooses to maintain a score each round, she chooses a single verse and adds the effects of that verse to the effects of the conducted score for 1 round. If the songweaver ceases to conduct for any reason, the effects of the verse also cease. If the melody contained in the chosen verse can be taken multiple times and is present in both the score and the chosen verse, then it stacks. At 10th level, a songweaver's verses contain two melodies. Whenever a songweaver performs a drop, she suppresses all of her verses for 1 round.
When a songweaver studies her composition book to prepare her scores, she also prepares her verses.
Conducting with an Archetype
As a songweaver's standard scores do not contain intros and outros, nothing happens when intros and outros are triggered by the conduct composition class feature. Should there ever be a way to temporarily add intros or outros to a standard score, a songweaver will indeed trigger them properly. This ruling also holds for other archetypes with altered scores.

America Needs Fatima
July 13: Third Fatima Apparition
July 13th is the day of the third Apparition of Our Lady of Fatima.
It is the day Our Blessed Mother revealed the first and second part of the secret of Fatima.
Now, in the first part of the secret, Our Lady showed hell to a 7, 9 and 10 year old! Can you believe it?
A friend of mine once asked me, "How could Our Lady have shown hell to children so young?"
Yes, lots of people have a hard time with it but Our Lady knows best. And she is more loving and desires our salvation more than all of us put together.
But here is how I see it.
The problem is not Our Lady, it is the world we live in. We live in a world that more and more says that sin is not sin.
It is a pleasure-seeking world; it is a selfish world. This pride and pleasure has resulted in the universal spread of self gratification and self admiration, commonly known as narcissism.
But Our Blessed Mother came as a Universal doctor and pointed to the problem and showed mankind what would happen if we did not amend our lives.
Our Blessed mother wishes ardently that we go to Heaven. And it is only because she loves us, that she felt the need to show hell to the children who would later relate what they saw.
Here is something I firmly believe. First of all that hell does exist. Secondly, that the best way to stay out of hell is to talk about it from time to time and certainly never to forget about it.
Because we know how we humans are, when we stop thinking and talking about something, we forget about it. And if people totally forget about hell, then what will make them think twice about sinning?
God loves us but He knows that love alone will not save us, and once in a while we humans need fear of God to keep us on the right path. In the same way that parents know that love is not sufficient to raise a child well. Sometimes wholesome fear for the consequences of ones actions must be employed.
More and more the dogmas and truth of our Catholic Faith are being watered down and our society is telling us that the most important thing is only to FEEL GOOD. So the existence of hell has become an inconvenience for the 21st century man.
The truth however is that acknowledging the existence of hell helps us in staying the course and reaching our final destination, which is Heaven.
Hell is like jail. If jails did not exist, crime would have taken over our society a long time ago. Hell, is God's jail and it is forever.
Read the 1st and 2nd secret of Fatima revealed on July 13, 1917.
I would especially like to ask you on this important day for your prayers. Your prayers for our Nation. There are so many sins taking place, so many anti-God laws being approved that I fear what may happen.
Please join me in prayer on this important anniversary of the third apparition of Fatima.
Mr. Marto, father of Jacinta and Francisco, noticed that when the third apparition began, a small grayish cloud hovered over the holm oak, the sunlight diminished, and a cool breeze blew over the mountain range, despite it being the height of summer. He also heard something like flies inside an empty jug. The seers saw the customary glare, and then Our Lady over the holm oak.
Lucia: What does Your Grace wish of me?
Our Lady: I want you to come here on the thirteenth of next month and to continue to pray the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war, for she alone can be of any avail.
Lucia: I would like to ask you to tell us who you are and to perform a miracle so everyone will believe that Your Grace appears to us.
Our Lady: Continue to come here every month. In October, I will tell you who I am and what I wish, and I will perform a miracle that everyone shall see so as to believe.
Lucia then made a number of requests for conversions, cures, and other graces. Our Lady recommended the constant recitation of the rosary; thus they would obtain those graces during the year.
Then she went on: "Sacrifice yourselves for sinners and say many times, especially when you make a sacrifice, 'O Jesus, this is for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.'"
The first part—The vision of hell
Lucia writes, "Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke, now falling back on every side like sparks in a huge fire, without weight or equilibrium, and amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repulsive likeness to frightful and unknown animals, all black and transparent. This vision lasted but an instant. How can we ever be grateful enough to our kind heavenly Mother, who had already prepared us by promising, in the first Apparition, to take us to heaven. Otherwise, I think we would have died of fear and terror."
The second part—The warning of the chastisement and how to avoid it
The children then looked up at Our Lady, who said to them so kindly and so sadly:
"You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war is going to end: but if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the Pontificate of Pius XI. When you see a night illumined by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine, and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father. To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, and she shall be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world. In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc. …"
Communism—"The Errors of Russia"
Communism is an atheistic ideology that ultimately denies God's natural order and natural law, which God inscribed on the hearts of men. Denying God, Communism attaches divinity status to the Party and to the State. As such, Communism transfers all personal responsibility to the Party and totalitarian state. Denying natural law, Communism rejects the basic rights to private property, and monogamous, indissoluble marriage two indispensable pillars of a free society. Dictatorship is not a chance fact in Communism, but the logical and necessary consequence of its ideology. For strategic reasons, Communism may take on different political forms, including apparently democratic ones, and hide behind varied labels. Already in the 1930's, the Communist Party launched the so-called policy of the extended hand, in which it showed to the outside world a smiling, friendly face while, Stalin's iron hand imposed a ferocious, despotic dictatorship in Russia.
This deception has been used time and again throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher says married couples must resist being bullied into redefining marriage.
Catholics should respect and love all without accepting gay marriage, the archbishop told a packed congregation at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.
More than 120 couples joined the mass on Sunday morning to renew their wedding vows and celebrate more than 1700 years of marriage between them.
"Marriage brings together…man and woman, sex and love, love and babies, parents and children," the archbishop said in his homily.
"To say this is not to criticise anyone."
Archbishop Fisher said the faithful were often labelled as bigoted, with political and cultural forces trying to "bully us all" into redefining marriage.
"To say marriage is special is not to demean these other realities, rather it respects the diverse ways of being human and loving, not pretending away the differences," he said before couples renewed their vows.
Joan and Keith Dunsmore, who will celebrate their 65th anniversary, were among those who stood and promised to love and honour each other for the rest of their lives.
"It's a lovely feeling to renew our vows in this atmosphere," Mrs Dunsmore said after the mass.
She advised other couples to "talk it out" and work through problems together.

It's always good to believe the best in people. However, some job candidates may attempt to embellish or lie about items on their résumé in order to appear more qualified and experienced than they actually are.
It's important to keep an objective and tempered view of applicants. Here are some of the common areas prospective employees may lie about.
1. Education
Some applicants may embellish their educational qualifications. In fact, depending on the job they are applying for, they may not actually meet the stated requirements.
In many cases, however, instead of telling outright lies, they may simply exaggerate their schooling credentials.
2. Background Check
Even if a background check of an applicant reveals past offences, they may attempt to water down the implications and consequences. They may try to shrug off a sizable offense as a minor incident. Make sure you have a holistic understanding of any past offenses candidates may have.
3. Criminal Record
Some job candidates may attempt to hide their criminal record by changing their date of birth or the spelling of their name.
They may assume that a record of past offences lessens their chances of getting the job, and therefore try to hide past criminal activity.
4. Drug Use
Roughly 32% of Australians have admitted to using an illicit drug at some time. Prospective employees may not readily admit to drug use, especially if they still use substances on a regular basis.
5. Experience
Some candidates may attempt to show that they were at a position longer than they actually were. They may also try to embellish or pad out their portfolio with falsified information.
What appears to be two-year tenure might actually turn out to be a six-month stint in the latter months of one year and the early months of the following year. If in doubt, try to get to the bottom of the matter.
6. Skills
Proficiency in a particular skill - especially undemonstrated - may at times indicate limited experience in that field.
A prospective employee might try to supplement their résumé with unverified skills, especially if they are applying in a field they have little or no previous experience in.
7. Salary
A prospective employee might supply you with inflated salary figures at their previous place of employment. They are likely looking to artificially increase their personal value and earn more from the position they are applying to.
8. Accountability/Punctuality
If an applicant fails to show for an interview or they don't make it to a meeting on time, it is possible that they have an entire history of tardiness.
It is always good to determine whether they are missing appointments for valid reasons or not, but if they seem to have an excuse for everything, they probably won't make for a good employee long-term.
9. Termination
An applicant may attempt to hide the details surrounding their previous termination, particularly if it was of a sensitive nature. They may not want to reveal that they were fired from a position for misconduct or delinquency.
It's important to get a solid understanding of the details around their previous termination.

You know how time stamps get dropped into a conversation every so often, but that sometimes it's not often enough and you just want to see exactly when one of the messages in the thread was sent? iMessage does actually log this information, and all it takes is a quick swipe of the finger to see it. Instead of swiping your finger from left to right (which returns you back to the main Messages screen), you swipe-and-hold your finger from the right to reveal a timestamp next to every message. This works on regular text conversations, too, not just iMessages.

text: The bridge across the Fontanka on Nevsky Prospekt, framed by four sculptures of horse-tamers, is one of the most recognizable bridges of St. Petersburg. The total length of the bridge is 54.6 m, width is 37.9 m. The Anichkov Bridge has three lanes, as well as pedestrian sidewalks . Its official name "Nevsky Bridge" did not take root. The name "Anichkov" went on behalf of Lieutenant-Colonel-Engineer Mikhail Anichkov, whose working battalion rebuilt the settlement, which was nearby. He also took part in the construction of the bridge. The same stories that build the bridge name to some Anichka or Ana are just urban legends. The first wooden bridge on this site was built under Peter I in 1716 and had a length of about 150 meters. Later, the bridge changed many times: expanded, strengthened, rebuilt in wood and stone. The bridge acquired a modern look in the middle of the 19th century. Three spans, covered with gentle vaults, were laid out of bricks and faced with granite. There were wonderful cast iron railings, made according to the sketches of the German architect Karl Schinkel, depicting mermaids and sea horses.

U.S. officials this evening told Associated Press that special operations forces have captured a militant identified as Mustafa al-Imam who was described as "instrumental" in the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi.
According to the same source, he was captured in Misrata and subsequently taken to a U.S. Navy ship at the city's port that has taken him to the U.S. where he is expected to face trial. Non-official Libyan sources said that al-Imam is from Darnah, while others said he is not Libyan.
Libyan media reports said al-Imam is a Palestinian national who was based in Benghazi's Laithi district until February 2016 when he fled to Misrata following Laithi's fall to the Libyan National Army. Same sources claimed that he was arrested by the Gaddafi regime in 2007 and spent a year in Tripoli's Abu Salim prison for his alleged affiliation with al-Qaeda.
CNN quoted an unnamed U.S. official as saying that al-Imam may have operated under different aliases, adding that the U.S. government has video showing him present at one of the two sites of the attack in which four Americans were killed in 2012.
The operation took place yesterday, according to statement by the U.S. President Donald Trump. "Yesterday, on my orders, United States forces captured Mustafa al-Imam in Libya. Because of this successful operation, al-Imam will face justice in the United States for his alleged role in the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, which resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods—four brave Americans who were serving our country," Mr Trump said in the statement.
It was understood that the operation was conducted in conjunction with forces from Misrata affiliated with Libya's UN-backed Government of National Accord. The two sides have been coordinating closely on anti-ISIS operations since August 2016 when the U.S. Africa Command provided aircover to ground forces from Misrata which resulted in driving the Islamic State out of Sirte in last December.
President Trump said his government will continue to support "our Libyan partners to ensure that ISIS and other terrorist groups do not use Libya as a safe haven for attacks against United States citizens or interests, Libyans, and others". And he added: "Libya's long-term stability and security are linked to its ability to form a unified government and military, and we encourage all Libyans to support the ongoing reconciliation process facilitated by the United Nations and to work together to build a peaceful and stable country".
Ahmed Abu Khattala, Ansar al-Sharia's former emir and alleged mastermind of the attack, went on trial in Washington earlier this month. In October 2014, the F.B.I released the photos below of persons of interest and asked the public to provide more information about them.

The first moth of the year appeared last night
Outside the bathroom window. Pebbled glass
Diffused its shape like raindrops. Its pale wings
I saw from underneath; perhaps, on top,
They were not pale at all. I've never learned
The subtle traits that separate the species,
But still, I am a scholar in my way.
I stop and study every moth I see
And take its stock: gold filaments for legs,
Coat rich beneath my hand lens; model-still
On porcelain or plaster. Are they lost,
Or have they found their only need: to be?
All summer I will watch and guard them, scrambling
To shrink a flame or fish them out of basins.
Futile, perhaps -- they only live a day --
But let it be a day complete, cut short
Neither by folly nor indifference. I
Can do no more than this. They need do less.

AHDB is committed to help the horticulture industry in Britain survive and thrive.
Challenges faced by the horticulture sector include regulatory and commercial constraints on the availability of pesticides for minor uses and the associated need to improve the resilience and sustainability of crop protection systems.
Our strategy aims to help the horticulture industry face this challenge by:
Generating approvals for the use of plant protection products on horticultural crops
Generating innovative knowledge exchange and research and development to improve the productivity, resilience and sustainability of horticultural production systems
Generating EAMU applications
The resilience of horticultural crop production depends largely on maintaining access to effective plant protection products. As existing approvals are lost for commercial or regulatory reasons, replacements are needed.
EU regulatory and commercial pressures on manufacturers mean many currently available plant protection products will be withdrawn over the coming decade. As new products of potential value to horticulture become available, EAMUs will be needed to enable their use on horticultural crops.
We will track the loss of actives and approvals, assess potential impact and agree priorities for EAMUs in consultation with grower associations and sector panels. Whenever possible co-funding will be secured from manufacturers.
EAMUs approved by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate together with associated efficacy, exposure and crop safety data, will be held by AHDB in a secure database.
Developing integrated crop management (ICM) systems
Cost-effective, resilient, sustainable ICM systems that minimise both the likelihood of pesticide resistance development and possible adverse environmental impacts are essential to the long-term viability of horticultural production systems.
AHDB will focus our knowledge exchange and research and development work on the development of resilient and sustainable ICM systems using a range of agronomic, behavioural, biological, chemical and genetic control agents, supported by precision diagnostics and decision support tools.

I have a particular love for this company because it was founded by the Center for Global Impact (CGI), an organization that many of my friends work for. Tavi is an actual person—a woman in Cambodia who wanted to make a better life for her family and keep them out of poverty and away from the possibility of slavery (you can read more about her story here). CGI trained Tavi and other women to make goods to sell, and the byTavi was born. They have adorable scarves and bags, they're very reasonably priced, and they help protect these women and their families from poverty and the diseases and slavery that can come with it.
Rapha House exists to love, rescue, and heal children who have been rescued out of slavery and sexual exploitation. Operating as a 501(c)3, Rapha House began in 2003 to permeate cultures with love that heals and leads to restoration. Rapha House does this by providing safehomes and aftercare programs for young girls who have been rescued out of slavery and exploitative situations. All Rapha House homes are currently located in Southeast Asia, with the goal of expanding globally.
Slavery still exists in every culture. Rapha House is constantly partnering with advocates in an effort to build communities that extend unconditional love, physical rescue, and transformational healing.

Kiva Lending
Kiva is a neat organization. It's a network of entrepreneurs all over the world, and you can make small business loans to the vendor of your choosing. This helps families and villages prosper! You can loan as little as $25 (or more, if you're feeling super givey!) to help someone across the world improve their business. When the loan is repaid to you, then you can reloan it to another business! You can also withdraw the money from your account, but I always look forward to my loans being repaid so I can help someone else. It's not only helpful, it's fun!

Dental Implants
Imagine the joy of chewing steak after many years of soft foods! Implants make real chewing possible.
Before implants, if a patient did not have two or more strong teeth to serve as anchors for a fixed bridge, it was sometimes impossible to restore one or more missing teeth, particularly in the back of the mouth where chewing takes place. Implants changed all that for many people, allowing dentists to offer restorations that look and feel and function naturally.
Doctors Shane, Seth and George are enthusiastic about implant dentistry because it gives them a way to help patients whose missing teeth couldn't be replaced with traditional crown and bridge. Our doctors have extensive training, plus all the latest tools, to diagnose, evaluate, and treat patients who are considering implant placement and restoration.
Come see us today for a consultation regarding replacing missing teeth with implants.

A smudge behind here, to say the least. Last week Patrick and I went to Biltmore Iron Works to source materials for the new line of "Fantasy Fiber Flowers". Basket artist Matt Tommey, here in Asheville's River Arts District was kind enough to point me in that direction.
We had a ball! Saw so many things I wanted, and not for the flowers. There was so many interesting, old and rusty shapes and sizes that I'm sure I could make an entire, huge piece of yard sculpture!
But wait! Back to the flowers! Will was so helpful. Let me use his pencil to see how various sizes of wire could be wound into a stems.
Turns out that when we got home, Darling Spouse had the perfect wire in his shop. So I'm covered for the flowers. Hopefully I'll resin them tomorrow and then assemble the first "bouquet" on Thursday.
Check out Matt's fabulous baskets at: http://www.matttommey.com. He is indeed an artist!

I've tried on a lot of company hats… They've never quite fit.
My "hats" took many forms.
In college it was the Braum's apron, the lifeguard's shades, the barista's espresso machine, the sports photojournalist's camera, and the newspaper reporter's pen.
After college, it was the television producer's headset, the administrator's telephone, the analyst's spreadsheet, and the sales manager's rolling briefcase full of chotskies.
I've always done my job. I've climbed the corporate ladder like a good suit should – but I lacked passion. My inner critic and desire to succeed kept me on task, but my heart always begrudged the hours lost waiting for doctors' signatures for samples, or giving presentations to offices about pet food or toothpaste.
The paycheck – though generous – wasn't enough.
The company car wasn't enough.
My life wasn't enough.
It's not that I wasn't grateful for a secure job with a stable company. I learned a lot from the experience and training I received. However, what was I losing in exchange?
I felt like my life wasn't making a difference. The 60+ hours per week I gave up left me too exhausted to pursue my passions outside of work.
For example, I loved taking our therapy dog to visit kids at a Florida hospital. I could only take her during business hours per hospital policy. I had two-weeks vacation per year. Yet, seeing those smiles on the kids' faces was worth giving up those two weeks in half-day vacations spread throughout the year so we could go visit them. The cost was that I never got to visit family back in Arkansas or travel and take real vacations.
Why should I have to make those choices?
Where was all my time going? What was my impact? What was the meaning of all of those sales numbers and percentage growth projections?
Instead of fueling my inner fire, it felt like a wet blanket kept putting it out.
There was a reason these hats didn't fit. I was an entrepreneur at heart and I needed to create my own hat.
I've always wanted to do real estate. I've dabbled in it with side jobs – in addition to my day job – in loan origination and door knocking. Yet, my main jobs kept me too busy to really pursue it full force.
This summer, after literally feeling like we had lost everything and wasted over a decade of our lives, my husband and I made the leap in a completely new direction.
We started a real estate investment and redevelopment company.
I feel like I should say that it's a scary move. That's what most sane people would say. Honestly, we should be nervous, since 80% of small businesses fail in the first 18 months. Yet, we're not.
Maybe it's because we've gone through enough fires to no longer fear failure.
Maybe it's because we know the safe route doesn't lead to happiness, because we've already tried it.
Maybe it's because we're crazy.
I don't know.
However, I do know I will always be asking "What if?" if we don't try.
I've already gotten a taste of starting up a new business. In 2012, I started my own writing company when I joined my husband overseas.
It began with a lot of free articles that seemed to resonate with people. Then, I started charging a little bit, and then a little bit more.
Now, I'm making a good living writing – which I happen to love! I've traded my two-week vacation for the ability to do my work from anywhere with an Internet connection. I lived two years on a tiny Caribbean island and enjoyed a life where my schedule is free! I'm no longer tied down! I never have to ask a boss if I can have an extended lunch break to meet a friend! My time is now my own! It's glorious!
However, I'm still trading my time for money. If I don't devote a portion of my day to writing, I don't get paid. There is no residual income with the way the business is structured now. I don't plan to give up writing since I still love it! However, I also want to explore other options.
Which leads me into the reason we decided to move on to an even bolder venture.
All investment involves some risk. Just ask anyone who does day trading or invests in the stock market. However, real estate offers fewer risks and, in my humble opinion, greater rewards.
Real estate has both active and passive components. For example, if we buy a run-down house and fix it up and sell it, that's active income. We get a profit because we forced the appreciation through rehabbing and turned an ugly house into a nice home that someone would buy.
However, you can also hold real estate and rent it out for passive cash flow. If you factor in enough spread to hire a property manager, they handle all aspects of renting out and managing the property, and you simply collect the income from the rent checks.
I like that you can develop both sides of this business. While we are still fairly young, we can work the active side of the company while quietly building the passive side for when we decide we want to stop working so hard. It's a great long-term strategy.
However, whether we're pursing active or passive investments, here are seven reasons why we chose real estate!
Sure, home prices fluctuate. However, real estate follows a very predictable cycle. The key is to know where you are in this cycle, and modify your investment strategy accordingly.
I can remember looking at our IRA account a few months apart. We'd lost $5,000 as our blue-chip stock went down after a poor earnings report. This type of stuff is completely outside of our control. I hate that!
Sure, you can put your money in a mutual fund for a measly 2% to reduce the volatility of the ups and down of individual stocks. However, you're lucky if you can do much better than keeping a little ahead of inflation. Who has time to wait around for that?
Real estate investments are just the opposite. We control the entire project and we plan for market dips by understanding the cycle. We also get much better returns than 2%!
When you buy a stock, all you get to see are the number of shares on your investment dashboard. While it's certainly less maintenance, it's also not as fulfilling as driving up to a house that you own, that you can touch, that you can live inside.
If you buy smart and get good insurance, even fires or floods won't cause you to lose your investment.
Here's the thing. We are NOT rich. What little money we had went into our real estate education. If you're willing to learn and do your own due diligence, you don't have to be rich.
Here's the other great thing! We get to pay other investors to use their money and give them a much better ROI than most traditional investment vehicles. They also have their investment backed by a tangible asset (they get ownership of the property in the worst-case scenario) and they can often get double-digit returns – far exceeding most stock market or banking investments – on their loan. I can't wait until we are in the position to loan our money out to other investors and experience these same rewards!
It's a great partnership! The person with funds to loan out – but often no time or education in real estate– pairs up with someone with knowledge of how to redevelop houses and find great deals, and the time to manage the project. People can even utilize their retirement accounts to buy real estate without pulling their funds out of the account! We do all the work and they get passive interest for letting us use their money. It's true a win / win partnership.
Real estate redevelopment creates a large ripple effect. You have so many other industries that base their bottom line on the activities of investors. For example, builders, agents, home stagers, landscapers, painters, and property managers all need investors to make a living.
People will always need a place to live. The iPhone may someday go the way of MySpace, but people will always need land and a place to call their own. If you learn this business well, your investments will be secure for generations to come.
Investors have gotten a bad rap over the years – and for good reason. Many people in the business were greedy and unethical. However, the concept of investing can also be an agent for good. Just like the Force – there is a dark side and a light side. (Yes, I'm a Star Wars nerd; but just for the original old-school early movies! Don't get me started on the prequels!)
Imagine the investor who knows how to fix people's credit and has relationships with loan officers who can work with hopeful buyers to help them qualify for a home. Or the developer that goes into a rough neighborhood and creates better living conditions by building beautiful homes from the broken-down dwellings. Maybe there is an investor who is able to take someone who is facing foreclosure with an upside-down mortgage and instead negotiate a short sale – reducing their credit damages and ensuring the bank doesn't go after them later for the default amount. Or, better yet, an investor could have the knowledge to bring their loan current, fix their credit and help them avoid the process all together!
That's what an education can do! It's powerful! It can change lives!
I think investors can still wear super hero capes. Not everyone in the business values profit over people.
People often like to paint worst-case scenarios in real estate. Can you lose your shirt? Sure! The risk happens when you don't buy smart. Here's a typical exchange.
"But, what if you can't sell the house?"
"Well, ideally you would buy distressed homes well under market value after accurately estimating the repairs required and deducting holding costs, closing costs and realtor fees while still factoring in your overall profit. If you had to sell it fast, you could simply cut into your profit margins and just make less money. But, ok! We can play that game!"
"If you can't sell it, you make sure that you bought at a price low enough to rent it. You simply secure financing so that your payment is lower than market rents."
"But, what if the price is still too high to rent it out?"
'If the price is too high to rent it out, you set up an owner-financing contract. Let's say that someone can't get traditional loans from a bank. There is actually a large percentage of the population that has poor credit due to downsizing, medical bills, divorce or death of the primary breadwinner. I personally think these people still deserve to own their own home. You simply find someone who just had a bad run of luck, and they pay you like a bank to live in your house. Just like a bank, you take a down payment and a portion of their monthly payment goes toward the home purchase price and the rest toward interest. They pay this for a set period of time (usually three years) while you show them how to fix their credit and qualify for a bank loan. Their payment more than covers your financing commitment to the bank. You then sell them the house after the time period is completed for the agreed-upon price. Everyone wins!"
Here's the thing, the investors who got caught with their pants down during the 2008 crash were buying on appreciation speculation. You may as well invest in the stock market if that's your strategy. The investors who buy below market value based on strong data and good numbers don't end up underwater.
Don't get me wrong! Real estate does appreciate; but a smart investor doesn't count on it, they just enjoy the bonus!
I realize that real estate isn't rocket science, and it's certainly not for everyone! Yet, it is a way for me to feel like I'm making a positive impact on other lives while growing an investment portfolio with my husband that will feed us into our golden years.
I can honestly say that my worst day as a real estate investor – building the business with my best friend and partner – is still better than my best day at all of the other jobs where I wore someone else's hat.
What about you? Do you feel like your hat fits your heart?
If you enjoy working for others and have found your calling, that's amazing! Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur or build their own business! Just find what you love, dig your nails in deep and never let go!
Yet, if you haven't found your passion, what's keeping you from it? Is there something that's burning just under your conscience day-to-day routine? Something that makes you feel alive? If there is, go out and follow that love! Find a way to make a living at it!
If every day it's tougher to get out of bed than the one before, if you discover you no longer find fulfillment in your job, then change it. If you find you don't like the story that you're in – leave! Don't wait a decade like I did! If there has ever been a burning in your core to jump into something that scares you senseless, that defies all logic, that replaces your security and a steady paycheck with energy and excitement – do it! This life of risk is so much better than slowly dying inside daily because you've traded your sense of adventure for a pension plan.
It's a proven fact that those who love what they do become the best at doing it. Now, I'm not gonna lie, if that means starting up your own company instead of sticking with more traditional work – you may be poor at first. You may have to work 80 hours now to avoid working 40 hours for someone else for the rest of your career. People may call you crazy. You will become a rebel as you buck the traditional system of "go to school, get a degree, get a job."
However, I can tell you from personal experience that there are worse things to be than a poor, hardworking, crazy rebel. You'll find you've never been happier than when you're living your dream and creating a hat that's custom-made to fit your heart.

It felt like losing your co-rememberer meant losing the memory itself, as if the things we'd done were less real and important than they had been hours before."― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
Rowan Is Brilliant. Brilliant on a level that Einstein didn't approach, but Da Vinci may have shared. That kind of brilliance makes it hard enough to bond with 'normals' under the best of circumstances. Add in parents who saw her as an interesting experiment, homeschooling her and discouraging any outside hobbies, interest, or friends, and living a normal life is pretty much an impossibility of stunning proportions. But, when Rowan meets Lexi in college, her life changes. Lexi teaches her 'social studies.' How to talk to people. How to smile. How to have fun. How to be human.
But then, Lexi disappeared. And Rowen's life was shattered. The pieces that Lexi had nurtured fell away, leaving the cold, precise, analytical Rowen behind. It hurts to be so broken. So, she analyzes. She analyzes at work, putting together business strategies for the customers of Hologram Security. She analyzes everything, researching, investigating, plotting and graphing everything that strikes her fancy. But especially missing persons, and Lexi's disappearance. She even researches dating strategies when her friend, Farrah Lewis, whom she met in a support group for friends and family members of missing persons, asks. For six long years, ever since the day Lexi disappeared, Rowan has functioned like an analytical droid, living for her work, for her analysis. For the faint hope that one day she will find the thread that will bring Lexi back to her. Rowan is The Bloodhound, sniffing out facts and presenting them to her clients in the form of cold logic. Just as coldly logical as her life is lived.
And then one day, Harrison Briggs appears in her office. And all the pain comes rushing back. For Harrison Briggs is Lexi's boyfriend. Was the last person to see her alive on that terrible day, when Lexi disappeared, and Rowan's whole life imploded. Harrison Briggs, who has the gall to stand in front of her and swear that he didn't attend Columbia. That he has never heard of Lexi. What kind of monster can do that? To stand in front of her and deny his relationship with the one person Rowan loved above all others? How Could He?
But things are even stranger than she thought. And what is true may very well cost Rowan her life.
I adored Rowan and her story. Mystery. Suspense. Convolutions. This a very well written, enjoyable book that kept me reading for way too long into the night. She is brilliant, but in such pain. Watching what has become of her psyche due to her parents cold scientific parenting is heartbreaking, and her ability to grow and change through the book gave me heart. Her search for her friend, and the pain of all family and friends of missing persons, is extremely well written. Highly recommended.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for a realistic review. This is Randa Flannery's first book and I will be watching closely for her next.

I'm A Tiger When I Want Love
Posted by vetsbeyondreason in Animal Welfare on 28/11/2013
So sang Jethro Tull in their song, "Bungle in the Jungle". Perhaps the tiger that attacked his trainer at Australia Zoo recently (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/australia-zoo-tiger-handler-recovering-after-attack-20131127-2ya2h.html) was only after some love and affection? Or perhaps he was fed up with being asked to jump through hoops and act like an overgrown pussy cat when all he really wanted was to be left alone and allowed to behave like a tiger? Despite being hand raised this tiger is still a wild animal with all the instincts that wild animals have. The trouble with hand raising is that it makes animals tame. Tame animals lose their fear of people. This can be an advantage for nervous animals that tend to panic and crash into fences but for a top order predator, like a tiger, it is only a recipe for disaster. I am aware of numerous cases of keepers having to defend themselves against attacks from hand raised animals, including kangaroos, deer and this tiger.
Zoos make things difficult for themselves by pandering to what they think the public wants: close encounters with wild animals. So they hand raise them to make them human friendly and perpetuate the misconception that wild animals are cute, cuddly and there for us to interact with. This leads to incidents like this one and numerous others where children try to pat wolves or parents smear honey on their kids' faces so the nice bear will lick it off (along with the kid's face).
By all means enjoy tigers and other wild animals but enjoy them as they were meant to be, as wild animals, not as some kind of deranged travesty that can't decide if it's wild, tame, tiger or human.
This is what I get for writing a positive article about zoos.

Competition: League
Venue: Richmond Park
Attendance: 2160
Ryan; Lynch, O'Cearuill, Harris, Partridge; Guy, Fahey, Dempsey, Ryan (Byrne, 64); O'Neill (Brennan, 89), Quigley (Kirby,85).
Jennings; Cretaro, Almeida, McKenzie, Butler; Murphy (Curran, 81), O'Grady, Moore (Judge, 64), Doherty (Cash, 85); Kudozovic, Boco.
Referee: A Buttimer (Cork).
A new look St. Patrick's Athletic took their time to get into gear at Richmond Park last night, but when they did it was worth the wait.
Having gone behind to a plucky Sligo Rovers team, when Jamie McKenzie struck halfway through the first half, the Saints showed their title credentials after the interval to overwhelm their opponents, scoring three goals in the process.
That blitz came in a seven minute period just after the hour mark with Jamie Harris equalising and the American import, Ryan Guy, staking his claim to be part of the Richmond revolution by netting an impressive brace.
Six of the seven new signings made in the close season were bedded into Johnny McDonnell's team straight away and Dessie Byrne's introduction as a substitute meant all seven were given a taste of the action in the end.
Of the septet David Partridge probably impressed most on his debut, as did Gary Dempsey who almost netted in the first-half. Harris' powerful header to equaliser showed how important his threat in the air will be looking ahead to the rest of the season.
But for all Pat's fine play in the second period, McDonnell will have been alarmed by the flatness of his team's performance in the opening stages and Sligo were well worth their lead when McKenzie slotted home after 25 minutes.
It's an opening night win, however, for one of the would be challengers to Drogheda United this season and things should only get better as the new recruits get to know each other.
The new look central defensive partnership of Harris and Joe O'Cearuill were caught cold by a perfectly weighted through-ball and their opposite number for Sligo had the wherewithal to round Barry Ryan and tap the ball into the empty net to leave the visitors ahead at the break.
But Pat's began that quest with the purpose they should have shown in the opening exchanges as Sligo were besieged from the minute Anthony Buttimer blew his whistle for a resumption of hostilities.
The more the visitors repelled the threat the more the Saints came back for more and cometh the hour, cometh the man as Harris headed home a Bobby Ryan cross with 60 minutes on the clock.
But it wasn't Harris who would steal the show as he marked his second coming to the Saints with a goal. Within 7 minutes of the Welshman's equaliser another foreign import, Guy,had terminally ended Sligo's hopes in the match with a quick-fire brace.
His first came from a header and the second was the most memorable moment of the game as he smashed a shot high into the roof of the net after Gary O'Neill had cleverly shielded the ball on the penalty spot.

This sprawling metropolis with a huge cultural and architectural heritage is a melting pot of Eastern and Western history. The only city in the world which is transcontinental i.e located on two continents, Europe and Asia and has 3113 mosques! Isn't that unbelievable? We had a a beautiful vacation in Turkey a few years back. We loved this beautiful city of Istanbul with its ample blue waters of the Bosphorus strait and the 7 hills with a mosque each.
While walking through its streets, it felt so much like being in India. The blaring car horns, the shrill sound of calling prayers from the majestic mosques, its busy streets where people seem all over and beautiful colourful spice filled markets. We experienced the lovely tram ride from the Gelata bridge to the Grand Bazaar.
Grand Bazaar
Constructed in 1461 Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is quite popular today. It has 3000 shops which store dainty Turkish artifacts in small tunnels which is a complete jumble once you enter. It was such a pleasure to see this labyrinth complex with pushy merchants and colours which your eye would never know.
Blue Mosque
The most illustrious architecture I have ever seen till today is the Blue Mosque . The interiors are adorned with 20,000 blue tiles that fashion in fifty variations of tulip designs. It also has some extravagant resemblances of flowers, luscious fruits and perfectly grown cypresses.
While walking through the Taksim square one chilly day of our stay in October we saw a man selling steaming muscles. This friendly vendor offered one to us and promised it would taste out of the world! It is called the Midye dolma, sort of a munchy that comprises of muscles stuffed with rice. He told us to eat it with using the shell as a spoon… and indeed, it was the most flavoursome eats I ever had!
Awesome Tradition to Relax and Cleanse
The age old and popular Turkish baths play an important role in Turkish culture. These often beautiful buildings provide a place to relax, refresh and revitalize, but they are also a place for local people to socialize. These baths have long been considered a place to purify the body and give your overall health and well being a boost. I am not a big fan of massages yet I didn't miss a chance to walk through these Hamams and feel its luxury.
The Bosphorus
Oh what a wonder this Boshphorus is! It is a straits that connects Asia and Europe, also connects the Maramara Sea to the Black Sea. We took a lovely traditional steamboat ride to enjoy the array of colours and scented breezes, its balmy waters and admire the palaces and old mansions commonly called as 'yalis' that adorn the Bosphorus waters.
While steering through this city…Dusk fell and the setting sun illuminated the everything, gently bathing it in shimmering golds and crimsons. Lights were switched on and the silhouettes of the mosques rose, ready to greet the moon. It was time to go back to our hotel and look forward to the next wonderful day we decided to spend in Trabzon on the Black Sea.

Moorgate is the city centre and central business district of the City of London, and is in central London, it is named after a postern in the London Wall originally built by the Romans. It was turned into a gate in the 15th century. Though the gate was demolished in 1762, the name survives as a major street in the City of London. The street with the same name connects the City to the London Boroughs of Islington and Hackney, and was constructed around 1846 as one of the new approaches to London Bridge.
The name "Moorgate" derives from the surrounding area of Moorfields, which was one of the last pieces of open land in the City. Today the area is a financial centre, and is home to several investment banks. The street also showcases historic and contemporary office buildings.
Moorgate station on the London Underground is remembered for the Moorgate tube crash of 1975. In the incident, a train terminating at the station failed to stop and crashed into a brick wall, and 43 people were killed. This resulted in systems being installed on the Underground which automatically stop trains at dead-ends, which have become known as Moorgate control.
The earliest descriptions of Moorgate date from the early 15th century, where it was described as only a postern in the London city wall. Located between Bishopsgate and Cripplegate and leading to a moor known as Moorfields, it was not one of the larger or more important of the city gates.
In 1415 an ordinance enacted that the old postern be demolished. It was replaced with a newer and larger structure located farther to the west, which included a wooden gate to be shut at night. This gate was enlarged again in 1472 and 1511, and then damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Although the City gates had ceased to have any modern function apart from decoration, it was replaced along with Ludgate, Newgate, and Temple Bar with a stone gate in 1672.
Moorgate was demolished with most of the other London city wall gates in 1761/2, and the resulting stone was sold for £166 to the City of London Corporation to support the starlings of the newly widened centre arch of the London Bridge.
Little Moorgate was a gate opposite Little Winchester Street leading into Moorfields. It had been demolished by 1755, but gave its name to a street [1] that was later removed for the building of a railway.
The Moorfields were one of the last pieces of open land in the City of London. The fields were divided into three areas: the Moorfields proper, just inside the City boundaries, north of Bethlem Royal Hospital (also known as Bedlam, Europe's oldest psychiatric hospital), and Middle and Upper Moorfields (both also open fields) to the north. Much of Moorfields was developed in 1777 and turned into present day Finsbury Circus.
Today, the name survives in the name of the Catholic parish of St. Mary Moorfields; Moorfields the short street parallel with Moorgate; and Moorfields Highwalk, one of the pedestrian "streets" at high level in the Barbican Estate.
In addition, the London Dispensary for curing diseases of the Eye and Ear was founded on the Moorfields in 1805, and evolved to become the present Moorfields Eye Hospital, which is now located on City Road (known popularly from the second verse of the nursery rhyme Pop Goes the Weasel), and is close to Old Street station.
Moorgate Street and suburb
The contemporary street of Moorgate runs north from Princes Street and Lothbury at the back of the Bank of England, across the road named London Wall and the location of the old gate, and then continues north. It is located inside the EC2 postal district. After leaving the City of London in the direction of the London Borough of Hackney, the street is known as Finsbury Pavement (which at one time was known as Moor Fields Pavement) and then City Road. The street was constructed around 1846 as one of the new approaches to London Bridge. While the street was formally known as "Moorgate Street", the street part of the name eventually fell out of use.
A new commercial development on Moorgate, known as Moor House, opened in 2005. The building is located at the corner of Moorgate and London Wall, and was designed by Foster and Partners. The building has 28,000 m² of office space in 19 storeys, and is built in the location of a smaller office building built in the 1960s known as Moor House. A 36 m shaft under the building incorporates part of Crossrail's new station and ticket hall serving Liverpool Street.
During the 1940s-60s, HM Customs and Excise investigation staff were based at Moorgate Hall, 153 Moorgate.
There is a campus of the London Metropolitan University, formerly a Polytechnic, and part of the London Guildhall University, on Moorgate. The campus houses its business school, a library, and other administrative facilities.
There is a small side street to the east off of Moorgate, known as Moorgate Place. It now connects to another side street known as Swan Alley, in turn connecting to Moorgate. The side street is the location of the Chartered Accountants' Hall, home of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
The Guildhall is connected to Moorgate station via Bassishaw Highwalk. The Guildhall is the home of the City of London Corporation and the centre of City government since the Middle Ages. Adjacent and internally connected to the Guildhall is the Guildhall Art Gallery, which houses the art collection of the City of London. It occupies a stone building in a semi-Gothic style which was completed in 1999 to replace an earlier building destroyed in 1941.
Finsbury Circus, an oval-shaped circus, branches east out of Moorgate, sitting on the site of the old Bethlem Hospital and part of Moorfields. The gardens in the centre of the circus occupy a 5,000 square metre (1.2 acres) plot enclosed by railings, and include the immaculate lawn of the City of London Bowls Club. Built in 1814, it is unusual amongst London's squares in being elliptical, with the major axis oriented west-east. According to the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, the garden is Grade II listed.
Moorgate is also the birthplace of John Keats, one of the principal poets in the English Romantic movement. Keats was born in 1795 in the Swan and Hoop Inn at 199 Moorgate, where his father was an ostler. The pub is now called "The John Keats at The Globe", having previously been known as "The Moorgate Coffee House", "The Moorgate" and "The John Keats at Moorgate", only a few yards from Moorgate station.
The nearest London Underground and National Rail station is Moorgate.
Redevelopment of the area
A number of large buildings are being planned or already built in the neighbouring streets. These include a 43-storey, 140 m residential skyscraper at Milton Court (The Heron), that is taller than CityPoint, and a 90 m office tower at Ropemaker Place is also being developed by British Land, with construction already underway.

In November last year, I decided to colour my hair at home and then I only did I realise the toll that dye can take on your hair. After I washed and dried my hair, after colouring it, the ends of my hair were even drier and more brittle than before and the overall texture of my hair had changed too. Considering these changes, I decided to add a few more steps into my hair care routine to ensure that my hair eventually gets back to its healthy, strong and almost-shiny self.
I kept to my normal shampoos, which is Organic's Straight and Sleek, Milkshake's Deep Cleansing Shampoo or Head & Shoulders Dry and Itchy Scalp Care, but elected to change up the post-shampooing treatments.
The In-Shower Treatment
I don't normally use an in-shower conditioner, but since I've coloured my hair I've been using Dove's Colour Radiance Deep Repair Treatment Mask Colour Revitaliser (phew, that's a mouthful!) as my conditioner/in-shower treatment. Previously, I did use a variant of Dove's Deep Repair Treatment Mask so I was expecting a great fragrance, noticeable improvement in the hair after drying it and of course the added colour revitaliser – and the Colour Revitaliser provided me with just that.
After towel drying my hair, the ends of my hair were less rough and 'crunchy' and looked much better than it did before washing. The mask also left a subtle scent on my hair which was pleasant and not too overpowering.
The Post Towel-Dry and Pre-Blowdry Treatment
After towel drying my hair, I follow up with 6-8 drops of TRESseme's Oil Elixir for Colour Treated hair, before blow-drying it. I know that 6 drops of hair oil might seem like an exorbitant amount but my hair is really, really long and rather thick too, so 6 drops really is needed.
I find that the Oil Elixir really helps in keeping my hair nourished and shiny as well as sealing in all of the good work that the Repair Mask achieved on my ends. I love that even though it is an oil, it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy and oily like coconut or olive oil would.
The oil is also wonderful as a scalp treatment. Whenever my scalp feels dry or itchy, I massage a few drops of the elixir onto my scalp using my fingertips and within a few hours the dryness and itchiness usually subsides.
The oil elixir does tend to leave a scent in your hair and even though it isn't super amazing, the scent is much, much better than that of the not-so-pure Argan Oil treatments that are currently available. On the plus side, the scent usually fades away after a day or so.
The In-Between Washes Treatment
Even though I don't show my hair and no one would even know if it looked like crap in-between washes, I'd still know and therefore my hair care routine doesn't stop after drying my hair.
I love using Dove's Colour Radiance Leave-in Conditioning & Care Spray on my hair, in between washes. It does a great job at revitalising my hair and basically acts like a dry shampoo as it boosts volume and shine and leaves my hair with a soft-to-touch feel.
Another aspect that's great about this spray is that its so easy to use – all you've got to do is shake the bottle and spritz the product onto your hair. There is no need to brush it through the hair or even finger comb as it easily absorbs into the hair in like 2 minutes.
The fragrance of the spray is, by far, the best from all 3 products mentioned in the post. It has a sweet but clean scent – if that makes any sense – and would basically make anyone believe that your second day hair isn't really second day hair, but freshly washed hair due to the scent.
In my opinion, all 3 products work together harmoniously to provide my hair with best care and nourishment that colour-treated hair requires and clearly my routine has been working for me as it has been over 6 months since I've coloured my hair and the colour hasn't faded yet. The texture of my hair hasn't returned to normal yet, however it's quite close – perhaps another few months of this hair care routine will do the trick.
Please note that all products mentioned in this post were received for review purposes at some point.
