Addictive knitting: Min Ulla scarf
Because of the new patterns I've put up this month, I feel as if I haven't been blogging enough about my current knitting. The knitting interest I lost this summer is back, and my projects feel even more addicting than ever. I credit both the chill of autumn and not having any wool sweaters that fit over my gigantic belly with its return.
Like the hat I posted last week, this began as a Scandinavian-style sampler to test out some stitch patterns for a hat and scarf set I was planning. After a few inches, I thought it would make a nice edging for a simple, stockinette scarf. A foot into it, I decided to make the edging longer because it was so much fun to knit. Finally, I capitulated and eliminated all of the stockinette. You cannot imagine how addicting this knitting is! What is fascinating to me is that with the exception of four peeries, all of the patterns are so very simple: 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-stitch repeats. So easy are they, in fact, that I have barely consulted my chart. And yet, the scarf looks impossibly complicated. Isn't that wonderful? So little effort for so much effect!
Although I have not been able to work on it consistently this month, I try to log a few peeries every day. I have about 18 inches to go. And then the hat. And maybe some mittens. Please, someone stop me!
The scarf is knit in the round as a long tube for extra warmth.*
The only problem?
Hypothetically speaking, if one were to lose a stitch marker down that hole, there's little hope of getting it back. Not that I would be so careless. Nope, not me.
Stay tuned for Min Ulla progress!
* Actually, I knit it in the round because I was far too lazy to purl back.

And don't you think doing colorwork in the round is easier? It's the only way I can even do it. Reading charts back and forth just confuses me. I love tube scarves!
Ooh, I love this! Will you be publishing the pattern when it's finished (fingers-crossed)? I like the tube – purling in colorwork is tricky and although you could steek and then line the back, I think the tube is good because then the scarf can be wrapped any which way and still be right-side out!
Wow! Beautiful. I hope you'll publish the pattern, i'll want to make it!
You? Lazy? I think not.
That scarf reminds me a lot of the one on a Meg Swansen video, and of course I can't remember the name of it, but I think the original pattern she had is Swedish. Or possibly Norwegian. Anyway, she does 2-color work and knits in a tube with ends like kitchner toe, so all the carried yarn is hidden inside. She makes a hat like it, too. I need to watch that again because she has this ingenius way of hiding the jogs. What are you doing about that, by the way?
That's a lot of peeries! I only said that because I like saying "peeries"! I would also hope you write this one up to sell. I'd buy!
Woah. That is fantastic!
No way I would never stop you knitting, your too inspiring! What a great idea. I recently got Alice Starmore's book of fair isle knitting, what a fun way to go through some of the patterns in her book, and then I hae another book of patterns, and oh my goodness! I've got to buy more yarn!
What a great idea, I love it!
That is an AWESOME scarf!
I rarely see a pattern that I instantaneously want. In fact, I don't think I've ever wanted to make something so instant. I seriously hope you publish this scarf because I want to make it RIGHT NOW!!! It's so gorgeous I can't wait to try it (please, please, please!)
Great pattern. Like the others, I hope you'll publish the pattern. And congrats on the mitten pattern. I thought I recognized the name -
love the charcoal-cream combo. actually, i really like the photos on your site in general– maybe the light? The Tapestry mitts look sublime.
Love this scarf. Please publish this pattern!
That is the greatest idea for a scarf! It does look amazingly complicated!
That scarf is amazing! Your colorwork is lovely.
What kind of cast on did you use? did you use a provisional cast on or something else? Your instructions aren't clear and everytime I try it your way it turns into a knot in each side and you didn't specify the kind of cast on you used. I'm close to just doing a provisional cast on because it's the only way I know how.
Help me please.

Chrissy, I found some stretch jeans at H&M not too long ago that have a high waist. Pretty comfy. I hate having to hike up the low-rise pants too (or have them slide off my butt while I'm bending over at the playground or something). Do you have an H&M anywhere near? Unfortunately I don't see them on their website, but they don't carry everything online.
Myles, I bet getting bits of trout out of your dog's ear was not something you ever really envisioned yourself doing.
Bridget, my super-nurser never responded well to any of my efforts to space out or shorten her sessions. If anything, she freaked out and wanted it more. I do think that trying to keep her busy and her mind off the milk was about the only thing that helped, but I'm not sure that was any less exhausting for me than just to have her latched all day. Even when she was almost 3, she never slowed down like I heard about other toddlers doing, and when I finally decided I was just too worn out to do it anymore, around her her 3rd bday, we just had to quit cold turkey. It took her two months to stop asking. That is not a very positive story to tell you -- sorry! I completely understand how it can just be too much. But it only took me a little while to start missing it and feeling nostalgic...
Jennifer, I want to see pictures of your new art too!

Playing For Keeps
This romantic comedy takes a plot that would have fit right in with the great comedies of decades past, and stocks it with A-List actors before promptly fizzling out.
"Playing for Keeps" is written by Robbie Fox and directed by Gabriele Muccino. Gerard Butler shucks his battle armor from "300" and "Coriolanus," but holds on to his charming smile from "PS I Love You." He also dons some soccer gear for the role of George Dryer, an overgrown man-child whose career-ending injury has knocked him out of the professional soccer firmament. Bad behavior has also bumped him out of his marriage to Stacie (Jessica Biel), who's now engaged to Matt (James Tupper).
It's as much for Stacie as for his son with her, Lewis (Noah Lomax), that George moves to the same town where they live. But with little in the way of job prospects, George is left with dwindling finances and too much time; in other words, he's the perfect choice to coach his son's soccer team.
George is determined to start being a good father. He also entertains a dim hope of somehow reconciling with Stacie. Naturally, the movie is going to throw beautiful women his way, because who can resist a devoted, hunky single dad with a Scottish accent?
Cue the desperate soccer moms (Judy Greer, Uma Thurman, and Catherine Zeta-Jones). One is going through a divorce; another is still married (to a psycho played by Dennis Quaid); the third is a former sports announcer who still has some connections that might just hook George up to a cushy gig with ESPN.
"Playing for Keeps" generates a little smoke and a few laughs, but there's no real fire or wit. Gags involving Param (Iqbal Theba), the sexually frustrated, somewhat voyeuristic landlord (he's from India, which seems both obvious and gratuitous), abound, along with fairly standard, Lego-like story elements that snap together as expected but then lie flat and lifeless on the screen.
Indeed, lifeless is a good single-word summary for this movie. The dad flails, the kid sulks, the ex-wife casts glances that mix judgment with pity and regret, her new beau watches with an uneasy air and the horny soccer moms act as pheremonally giddy as high school girls.
Don't worry, there's a happy ending, as is de rigeur< for rom-coms...but then again, any ending would count as happy as long as it brings this ineffectual fluff to a finish.

The first Bourriquot I ever had was shared by some rock star at the wedding of a mutual friend. It was young and earthy and wonderful and maybe a little extra dazzling because of the guy sharing it.
This was my own bottle and the first Bourriquot I've ever had with any time on it. At eight years old, we were hoping to find it pleasantly middle-aged, with both grapes evident as well as some secondary nuances. It was decanted only about fifteen minutes before service. And it first it seemed kind of simple, mostly merlot on the nose with a bit of vanilla and red rose notes on the palate. When it changed it shifted entirely in the direction of the cab franc becoming kind of prickly--almost more weed than herb--with a bitter finish following raspberry and chokecherry fruit. Drinkable throughout but disappointing and not an experience I'd look forward to repeating. Glad I don't have another bottle.

ZURICH—Swiss voters on Sunday overwhelmingly backed a plan giving shareholders sweeping authority over executive pay, the latest in a series of moves aimed at curbing what is seen as excessive remuneration levels at top companies.
Roughly 68% of those who voted supported the Minder Initiative, named after the businessman and politician who created it, according to the government. The 24-item measure enables shareholders of Swiss companies to approve or block proposed compensation for corporate executives and board members.
The plan, dubbed the "rip off" initiative by the country's media, bans so-called golden-handshake and golden-parachute severance agreements. It also requires greater transparency on loans and retirement packages for senior executives and directors.
Adoption of the Minder rules will affect all companies listed in Switzerland.

Switzerland's proposals, developed by lawmaker Thomas Minder, have drawn fierce criticism from the country's business community, including the influential Economiesuisse and Swissmem lobbies. Business leaders urged voters to choose a weaker plan put forward by the government that would have given shareholders a nonbinding say on corporate pay, and warned that passage of the Minder Initiative would cost the country jobs.
Christa Markwalder, a lawmaker from the pro-business Free Democratic Party, said she didn't think passage of the initiative would lead to an exodus of companies from Switzerland but would attract attention from other countries studying corporate-governance policies. "Certainly, the results of [Sunday's] referendum will send a signal to the rest of the world," she said.
Valentin Vogt, president of the Swiss Employers Association, said his organization regretted passage of the plan but added that its members would work to formulate methods for implementing its provisions. "It is up to us now to help regulate the strengthening of shareholder rights," Mr. Vogt said. Still, he said members of the Swiss Employers Association would resist any further attempts to set corporate-pay policies.
How quickly the elements of the Minder plan will be implemented remains an open question. The proposals will now go to the government, which will draw up appropriate legislation.
Proponents say the plan could be implemented as early as 2014, but opponents of the measure say parliamentary procedures and legal issues could delay its implementation until 2015 or even later.
Peter Nobel, an economics professor at the University of Zurich, said passage of the Minder Initiative "will create years of uncertainty for Swiss companies regarding which legal corporate-governance rules will apply to them."
Approval of the plan comes amid other efforts to rein in executive pay. The European Union last week moved to impose a strict limit on bank executives' bonuses that forbids bonuses from exceeding a banker's fixed salary without shareholder approval. Even with such approval, flexible pay can only rise to twice the level of fixed salary. Claudio Kuster, secretary of the Minder Initiative, said the EU's decision helped persuade Swiss voters to support the referendum.
In the U.S., the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law gave shareholders a nonbinding say-on-pay vote starting in 2011. Other countries, including the Netherlands, the U.K. and Norway, also have forms of say-on-pay votes with varying degrees of strictness.
The Minder Initiative is much tougher than those in most other countries. Violators can be penalized with fines of as much as six times annual salary or imprisonment of as much as three years.
Mr. Minder's message, which he has delivered for more than four years, has fallen on fertile ground, particularly since the government was forced to bail out UBS, the country's largest bank, in 2008.

More quote details and news » head Joe Hogan and UBS's German chairman, Axel Weber, also provoked public criticism of corporate compensation.
The Minder Initiative's success was also helped last month when Daniel Vasella, the departing chairman of Novartis, said he would receive 72 million Swiss francs ($76 million) over six years as part of an exit package. The pharmaceutical company scrapped the pay plan after it stirred controversy and provoked resentment across the country.
Preliminary results from Sunday's vote indicate that the initiative received unanimous support from all of Switzerland's 26 cantons, the government said. The vote in favor of the plan is one of the highest ever achieved in a Swiss referendum, according to Swiss television. A 1993 vote on a national holiday policy set a record, with 84% of voters supporting it.
"We are delighted at the result, and especially the level of support, which we didn't expect," said Mr. Kuster, the Minder Initiative secretary.

A member of the famous Winans family has been charged with cheating people out of more than $8 million dollars. He's a familiar face, not only because of his family name, but because Problem Solver Rob Wolchek put him in the Hall of Shame.Michael Winans, Junior is in big trouble. The singer may have hung out with famous people like P. Diddy and Nicole Scherzinger a few years ago, but soon he may be hanging with famous people like O.J. Simpson and Bernie Madoff in prison.I confronted Michael Winans, Junior back in 2008 when I first exposed what sure seemed like a ponzi scheme. At that time he had no comment.Now the federal government agrees, charging Winans with taking more than $8 million from over a thousand victims.I first started investigating Michael Winans, Junior after I heard he was using his successful family name to convince people he invested like a rich person.He spoke at local churches where people were impressed to be addressed by one of the famous Winans family."When you think of the Winans, you think of prominent people," one woman told us.Michael Winans, Junior said he was such a big shot, he'd let others in on his Saudi Arabian oil bond that was paying huge dividends."He did get up and speak and basically he said that the crude oil bond is real," one man said.But the feds say his Saudi oil bond and his investments were all fake.He may be a member of the famous gospel singing Winans family, but the feds say this Winans is just a crook.Michael Winans, Junior is officially being charged by the United States government with wire fraud, but this is all about the same scheme Winans was running when I busted him. I spoke with Winans' attorney and he said his client is working to pay the victims back. $8 million is a lot of money, even for a member of the Winans family.

Angel Governing Aug 13th to 17th
Angel number 29 - ANGEL REIYEL - Energy: LIBERATION
(I pronounce the Angel's Name: RAY-YELL)
Qualities: Liberates from evil, curses and bewitchment - Free citizen of the universe - Pursuit of truth - Truth - Good for meditation - Establishes a connection with a guide - Spread the truth - Preaches by example - Unattached to dogma (not part of any sect).
Distortions: distrust - fanaticism, hypocrisy - spread of false and dangerous ideas - bewitchment - sectarianism, nationalism - religious struggle - indoctrination - bad company - limiting situation - prisoner - impasse.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name REIYEL by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke REIYEL keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
REIYEL is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is Aug 13th to Aug 17th.
REIYEL is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is April 19th, July 2nd, Sept 15th, Nov 27th, Feb 5th.
REIYEL is your Angel number 3 (Intellectual) if you are born: 9h20 to 9:39 a.m.

1. Break henna up into large pieces and put in a heatproof bowl. 2. Add hot water and let steep. Mix to a batter-like consistency. 3. Put on gloves and apply from back to front, coating hair thoroughly. 4. Cover in cling wrap for a more vibrant red. Leave on for two to four hours. 5. Rinse, shampoo, and condition hair. Tips: Always do a strand test first. Use face cream (or Ultra Bland) around your hairline and ears to protect skin. Wrap hair in cling film for a redder color.

- Red is for passion: To bring out the flame-haired temptress lurking beneath dull locks.
- Red, Redder, Reddest: Lighter hair will be left fiery and darker hair will be left with an auburn glow.

Q:What shampoo and conditioner is best to use on henna treated hair?Asked on 9/20/2014 by jen the vet tech from MD
5 answers
A:The best bet would be to stay away from any with high citrus juices or sea salt. Blousey and Fairly Traded Honey work great for colored hair, as well as Happy Happy Joy Joy and Retread!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I have found that sulfate-free works best or any that are geared toward
colored hair. You should avoid any type of dandruff shampoo because it
causes the color to fade quickly.Answered on 9/21/2014 by Anonymous
A:Anything that's low in citrus - anything super fruity/purifying will strip
the color fast from your hair. I love Happy Happy Joy Joy, and it's easy
on my hair. As far as shampoo, I use a few different kinds from Lush, but
it all really depends on your hair and what you want out of it. I use
shampoos that strip the color, because my main goal it to keep my hair
supper happy, shiny and healthy - which henna does. Read the ingredients
closely and you should be fine.Answered on 9/21/2014 by Anonymous
A:I used the same shampoo and conditioner that I did before I treated my hair with henna.
Hope this helps!
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 9/21/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hello!! I would definitely say Blousey shampoo. It's great for maintaining color and moisture. The most gentle conditioner, for me, is Jungle. I hope this helps!! gillyAnswered on 9/21/2014 by gilly from louisville
Q:I have extremely long (longer than classic) and thick hair, so how many blocks would I need to purchase in order to fully cover the length of my hair? And, if I'm looking for the brightest red possible (I have golden/red-brown hair that has been chemically coloured in the past), how long should I leave it in?Asked on 9/2/2014 by Endlessly from Minnesota
2 answers
A:We recommend leaving it in for about 4-6 hours, also the more you use it the brighter the red tone will be!Answered on 9/8/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:Hello! I have long hair, and so did my daughter when we did hers. YOu will use the whole thing on your hair. I think the trick is to keep it warm and wet ( in the bain marie or I used a double burner and kept it in there- or else it will dry and get really chunky and look like dirt! :) I only bought one (whole brick) for me and one ( whole brick) for her, and I kept breaking off pieces and adding it because I kept needing more. The longer, the better to keep it in, I say.. I hope this helps!Answered on 9/3/2014 by LuAnn from Savannah
Q:I've never dyed my hair before. I'm naturally honey blonde. If I use the caca rouge and then go swimming the next day, will the pool chemicals mess up or strip the henna color?Asked on 8/31/2014 by Meghan from United States
2 answers
A:I don't believe they will discolor your henna but you could lose the color
intensity. Henna is a bit fragile for the first 24 hours.Answered on 9/1/2014 by Anonymous
A:I'd recommend waiting about 48 hours before swimming in a chlorinated pool or check with a hair care professional!Answered on 9/1/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
Q:I used Caca Rouge last night and it turned out a little brighter than the strand test I had done. Can I use Caca Brun to darken the color or will it not hold? Thank you in advance!Asked on 8/19/2014 by Jessie from Seabeck, WA
3 answers
A:Caca Brun should help tone down the red! You may need a few treatments though. Luckily, henna is great for the hair and a few treatments won't damage the hair at all.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Kayla from LUSH DIRECT
A:I too thought the color was a little brighter than I intended, but it
seemed to warm and lessen over the next day or two. I have not personally
used the other color to darken though. I was very happy with my day 2-3
red color though.Answered on 8/19/2014 by Anonymous
A:I've never personally tried using Caca Brun to darken the Caca Rouge, but I
would assume it would work. The Caca Brun supplies dark rich brown tones so
most likely it will darken up the Rouge and make it a nice auburn color.
Hope this helps :)Answered on 8/19/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Hi! I have been thinking about using this product for a while but I wanted to know how long the color would last? Also, when it does fade, will all of the color go away or what?Asked on 8/12/2014 by Ella the wannabe red head
3 answers
A:Henna is considered a permanent color, so it will definitely last until the hair starts to grow out. If it fades at all, it is very gradual, and you will not lose all of the color completely.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:ooh. that's hard to answer. I think it's different for everyone , depending on their hair. But the color didn't totally go away until I decided to change it... if that helps...Answered on 8/13/2014 by LuAnn from Savannah
A:On my hair, the color stays for about 3 or 4 months. It slowly fades over
time, rather than all going away at once.Answered on 8/12/2014 by Anonymous
Q:My hair is naturally strawberry blonde with A LOT of highlights and low lights, all natural. However, because of straightening and curling and just general fading as I've gotten older, it is not as red as I want it to be. I don't want it to be so different that people are like "Woah, you dyed it" I just want it tinted red enough to where people will say, "Wow, your hair looks amazing and healthy" My hair is mid-back length and VERY thin. How much would I want to use. Also, does it expire?Asked on 8/7/2014 by Inquirer
1 answer
A:The amount of henna you use won't make as much of a difference to the color as the length of time you leave it on for. You should probably only need about four squares to cover your hair, and we would probably suggest only leaving it on for a couple of hours. Definitely make sure you do a strand test ahead of time to ensure you are happy with the results. The henna bars have a fourteen month shelf life from the day they were made.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:When first mixing the henna how long does it have to steep in order to release all of the dyes?Asked on 7/28/2014 by Madeline
2 answers
A:You don't have to worry about the amount of time "steeping" the henna, as it will have the same effects on the hair whether or not it has sat for a certain amount of time. This being said, you want to melt the bar down to a yogurt-like consistency, which usually takes about fifteen minutes or so.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:About a half hour. We slowly break it up into the hot water, stirring all
the time.Answered on 7/28/2014 by Anonymous
Q:How many times can I use the product?Asked on 7/24/2014 by Gandalf15 from Corpus Christi, Texas
3 answers
A:You should use this every 3-4 weeks so you can build the color and keep it looking and feeling healthy!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hello! I think that the more you use it; the better! It's so full of great oils, etc. that it really makes your hair shiny and healthy! gillyAnswered on 7/24/2014 by gilly from louisville
A:I have medium to long hair and I use 4 squares once every 2 months.Answered on 7/24/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I have been dying my hair chemically a bright red color for years and decided it's time for me to switch to all natural henna because almost everything else in my life is chemical free! I'm 28 and have had gray hair since 15 for some reason. How will this work with my existing chemically dyed red color with gray roots? I've let my roots grow out a bit and I'm concerned it might be two toned roots vs. rest of my hair.Asked on 7/7/2014 by Elena
2 answers
A:There may be a little bit of time where you will notice a difference in tones between the chemical color and the henna, but this will start to be less noticeable over time as the two blend together. Make sure to do a strand test ahead of time to see how you like the henna, and when you apply it, pull it down a little bit past your roots to blend it with the other hair to help the transition.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:It might be a bit two toned. If it's been long enough since your last dye, I would do it and see how comfortable you feel. I didn't mind it, and felt good to use henna instead of chemical. You may like the results! Either way, natural is the way to go, I totally agree!
LuAnnAnswered on 7/7/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I have used this product previously as all-over color and was very happy with it - however this time I would like to try using it as just red highlights for a more subtle look (also so my roots don't grow out as starkly). How would you recommend doing red strands - using foil? I don't think plastic wrap will stay on individual strands very well...Asked on 6/26/2014 by Sarah K. from Dallas, TX
1 answer
A:Foil should be a little bit easier for you to work with, as it should help the product stay put a little bit better than cling-wrap would!Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Two questions;
1: Does the Henna package come with the wrap to put on your hair while it sits? And if not, what is a safe alternative?
2: I have very thick, long hair that goes just a bit longer than the middle of my back and it's a light to medium brown color. How much Henna do you think I will need in order to get a natural orangey red color?Asked on 6/25/2014 by Pinterest from Stockton, CA
7 answers
A:Our hennas do not come with a wrap, but you are welcome to use any type of cling wrap to keep it out of your way. As for the amount, you will likely use at least 4 or 5 of the squares, perhaps even the full bar for complete coverage. It is always best to mix up less, and add more if need be.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:No wrap included, you only get the henna...Id ask a salesperson on how much
henna to use. My hair come to right above my bra line but I have very fine
straight hair. I used 4-5 cubes when I did my hair.
Hope this helps!!Answered on 6/25/2014 by Anonymous
A:Question 1...No there is no wrap that comes with it. I bought the cheapest plastic cling wrap and it works great!Answered on 6/27/2014 by Anonymous
A:There are no shower caps or other protective gear included. Just the henna,
I vaguely remember gloves being provided. I use a grocery bag and, twist
the handle parts to tighten it around my head and secure with bobby pins
before I take a nap on a towel. Almost none gets on the towel. As for how
much you'll need, one bar should be enough. I used half a bar for my mid
back, fine hair. I would get an extra bar if you can afford it just in
case, however just thicker than pancake batter consistency is all you need.
You want really drippy mud. Most people worry about adding too much water,
and you should be careful but they end up with it still chunky and it
doesn't go as far as it should so they have to use more. You'll know when
it's right, it will be thick enough to stick on your hair, not so thin that
it drips down and easily stirred with a firm hand.Answered on 6/27/2014 by Anonymous
A:Seran wrap works really well or a shower cap. The block doesn't come withe block doesn't come with any sort if wrap but it does come with gloves!
I have very similar hair to what you described and I used a full block of the caca rouge and let it on for 2 hours to achieve a lovely orangey red!
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 6/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:I just use a cheap plastic shower cap while it sets.
The amount is hard to say. I grate the henna and then add water till I have
enough. You can always put grated henna in a plastic Ziploc bag for another
use..without the water of course.
Hope this helps.
MaureenAnswered on 6/26/2014 by Anonymous
A:1. No it does not. Plastic shower cap and an old towel work fine.
2. At least one brick, maybe 1.5Answered on 6/25/2014 by Anonymous
Q:My hair is naturally medium to dark brown. I got an ombre in my hair last august at a salon. I wanted my hair to be a dark orangey copper color fading into a lighter orange almost blonde at the bottom. so the salon put a glaze in my hair which was red, not copper/orange at all, and which washed out within 2 weeks. So now it's just brown to blonde ombre. I have not done anything to my hair since then. Do you think the henna will just wash out of my hair like the glaze? and do you think rouge is the color I want for more of an orange rather than the marron which I feel like is more red? Will it work on my darker brown hair? Thank youAsked on 6/4/2014 by Caraline from United States
4 answers
A:Henna is considered a permanent dye rather than a temporary glaze, so you can expect it to stay in the hair for the same length of time as a permanent synthetic dye. The Caca Rouge tends to lean a little more towards a firey red color, as opposed to the Caca Marron, which is a deeper chestnut color. Occasionally, henna can have some difficulties jiving with hair that has been previously bleached, or colored with synthetic dye, so we definitely recommend doing a strand test ahead of time to ensure that you are happy with the color. The difference on your darker brown hair will be subtle, with more intense color on the lighter areas of your hair.Answered on 9/23/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Caca Rouge is exactly what you want for a red ombre. Marron will not show
well at all in your hair, it is more brown than RED. Henna tints your hair
so it won't be a vibrant orange on top but it will be a deeper orange red
and the tips will be bright. I think Caca Rouge is what you're looking
for. It won't wash out really but will change and settle over several
weeks. Go for it.Answered on 6/5/2014 by Anonymous
A:I have used the henna multiple times and it has never washed out, though
after a couple of months it has faded a bit. I did not want orange,so I
cannot answer that part of the question. My hair is medium to dark brown
and it works fine on it.Answered on 6/4/2014 by Anonymous
A:Henna is orange so that should be great for you. It's usually pretty
permanent, but results vary. You might not want to dye your ends with
henna if you want "almost blonde" though, because if it goes too dark,
you may not be able to lighten it again. You can't bleach or strip out
the color the same way you can with salon dye.
On your darkest hair it will probably only show up in sunlight.
Good luck!Answered on 6/4/2014 by Anonymous

Q:I have long thickish, curly, light blonde/dirty blonde hair. I have never dyed my hair, however I really wan to use this product.

A:With our hennas, we strongly recommend doing a strand test before going through with the full application to make sure the results are what you're looking for.Answered on 5/3/2014 by Jeanine from LUSH Direct
Q:I've used this product (and I like the end result), but I'm wanting to make my hair lighter for the summer season. I've been told that I cannot use chemical dye over the henna. Is this true? Do I just have to wait for my hair to grow out to ever dye it again?Asked on 4/16/2014 by Nikki from Chico, CA
2 answers
A:If you choose to use a synthetic dye over henna, we suggest waiting at least 8 weeks or so, and as always, performing a strand test ahead of time to ensure you are happy with the results!Answered on 5/3/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes, that is correct. You will need to wait until the henna colored hair
has grown out. You may want to consult a hair dresser to make sure.
Thank you!

A:You can definitely reapply the Caca Marron as often as you like! We wouldn't recommend trying to lift the colour from the hair, particularly now that you've used the Caca Marron. Les Cacas work by sealing down the hair's cuticle, and glossing colour over the top of your existing shade. Our products would not be able to lift the existing colour from the hair, as this would require a chemical procedure that will pry open the hair strand (causing damage). My only suggestion would be to try out some brightening products such as the Marilyn hair treatment, and over time you may see the lemon and chamomile will give a slight lightening effect. If you have any further questions, please give our experts a call at 1-888-733-5874.Answered on 4/2/2014 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:I have slightly longer than shoulder length curly sort of brown sort of red hair (I've tried to dye it brown but no brown dye will stick over the red I had). How red will it probably make my hair and how much of the henna do I need? Is one order enough?Asked on 2/16/2014 by Rachel from United States
2 answers
A:The Caca Rouge will change light brown-reddish hair to an intense, bright, shiny red. One standard block (all 6 pieces) will be more than enough, you might actually get away with 4 or 5 pieces depending on the thickness of your hair. The redder you want it, the longer you want to keep the henna on your hair (up to 8 hrs) and it's also really effective to wrap it in some kind of plastic material so that it's not exposed to oxygen. Both of these things will make it more red, if this is the effect you would like from it.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:I had dark brown hair before I used the caca rouge, and honestly it did very little. I just had a very slight red tint after about three days. it's still there about month later, but it's not noticeable unless you're in direct sunlight. I used 3/4 of block, I have short but thick hair and left it on for three hours.Answered on 2/16/2014 by Anonymous
Q:I want to love this product, but it will just not take to my hair. I have dirty blonde/very light brown hair. I have been doing caca rouge since September. I leave it in my clean/dry hair for about six hours, don't shampoo my hair right away, and even when using chemical free shampoo, or no shampoo/conditioner the color washes out of my hair in about a week. (the last time I even went 3 days between hair washings to try to make it last). For the couple of days that the color is visible it's gorgeous and it breaks my heart knowing it's only temporary. What can I do to make this stick?Asked on 1/30/2014 by A from North Dakota
2 answers
A:Sadly, there isn't anything that we can recommend that will cause the visible effects of the henna to last longer for you; this does vary from person to person. It may help to do a few consecutive applications, as the effects will build up, but I'd recommend trying this with a strand test to save yourself some time and henna in case it doesn't yield the results you're looking for!Answered on 3/25/2014 by Brandy from LUSH
A:This is a very strange problem. I have been using Lush's henna products for
about 4 years now and have never had that happen. I have reddish brown hair
and use a mix of rouge and marron to get a nice auburn. You might try
applying the henna without washing your hair the day before or the day of
application. Also stay away from conditioners the week before applying and
condition very well the first wash after application. I leave the henna on
over night and I have found it 'sticks' better if it's applied warm/hot and
wrapped immediately in cellophane (or a plastic bag). Hope this helps!

Q:Okay so I'm looking for a good way to keep my hair red without having to repeating dye it with harsh box stuff. Several people have told me to try henna but this price is kinda of spendy... So I'm wondering how much you get from one order? How many applications? Basically, am I paying 25 bucks for a one time thing?Asked on 1/25/2014 by Jordan from CO
2 answers
A:The number of uses you get out of one Henna bar completely depends on the length and thickness of your hair, however most people can get at least two treatments out of it.Answered on 3/21/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:It really depends on your hair because no two people are going to be the same--how long/thick/dry it is.
Obviously the longer, thicker, drier it is, the more product it is going to take. I've seen reviews where people with short pixie cuts just needed 1-2 of the squares. My hair is breast length and a little dry and pretty thick, and I used all but 1 square to do one treatment.
The guy at my LUSH store who did the application initially tried to get away with using 1/2 the block (He said for most people he can get away with this that way they get 2 whole treatments out of one block), then 2/3 of the way through he needed to mix up another square, then ended up needed to do one MORE square, to cover all of my hair. So I have one square left. Basically if I chose to do this again (which I probably will since I love the results), I'll end up with two squares left, then three, and so on...so eventually I'll get a whole treatment out of the leftovers--but, again, I have a lot of hair.Answered on 1/28/2014 by Amanda from Ann Arbor, MI
Q:Hi! I have blonde/light brown hair and a lot of highlights. I have always wanted red hair but am to scared to permanently dye it so i think this is possibly the best for me…..I want to know if I want like light red hair would I use this product and just leave it in for an hour or so? Im not sure sorry I have never done this before….Asked on 1/24/2014 by confusedwithhair from wake forest
2 answers
A:Henna is a permanent dye, so if you are looking for something that is not permanent it is likely not the best choice for you. Because henna treats the hair so much differently than a synthetic dye does, you do need to keep it on for a longer amount of time to get results. Depending on your hair, we recommend anywhere from 3 hours and up. We absolutely recommend doing a strand test ahead of time to make sure you are happy with the results!Answered on 3/21/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:If you just leave it on for an hour your hair will feel conditioned but you might not get much color change. Beware that blonde and highlighted hair can turn orange-y with this product and then your best option is to cover it with Caca Brun (henna is like lacquer and chemical dyes probably won't penetrate it). When I had ash blonde and highlighted hair Caca Rouge turned my hair bright red in the standard 3 hours this product usually takes. I still use Caca Brun because I love how it thickens my hair and makes it "behave". BTW henna has to get hot enough to activate. In your case I'd definitely do a "strand test" so you know what you're getting :-)Answered on 2/12/2014 by Dana who used to work in a salon from Canada

Have you heard of celebrity chef David Burke? Well- he has apparently found a way to cook a Thanksgiving turkey in the DISHWASHER!!!!! And I guess it's totally legit.
Here's the key- it's not a turkey with the carcass and all.... it's boneless turkey breasts, seasoned and wrapped and placed on the top rack of your dishwasher.
You are then supposed to run the dishwasher for 3 full cycles. Takes about 3 hours or so and Voila! Turkey is done!!
What I'm thinking is this.... WHY?????? Just because you can?? Gotta be honest, my father would do that just so he could say "guess what- cooked it in the dishwasher... isn't it great??!!"

Black tea is the most intensively processed type of tea. The leaves are allowed to fully oxidize, creating their black color before they are dried, giving black tea more complexity, more astringency and fewer vegetal overtones than are typically found in other teas. Astringency is the "dry mouth" sensation left by tannins in tea, familiar to drinkers of a cabernet sauvignon, or other wine. It is this astringency that pairs so nicely with dairy and sweetener. Achieving the right balance of astringency is one of the leading indicators of quality in a black tea.
Green Tea, best known for its grassy vegetal notes and greenish liquor and leaves, is quickly steamed or pan-fired to denature the oxidizing enzymes and preserve the tea's characteristic freshness. While all tea is antioxidant-rich, some speculate that the minimal processing undergone by green tea allows more antioxidants to reach your final cup. Without oxidation, green teas must be steeped more carefully, as they can become bitter if steeped too long or at too hot of a temperature. Never steep green tea with boiling water; near boiling or even cooler will produce much better results.
Our herbals are blended with lavishly delicious flavors, from famously soothing mints to exotic ingredients like cacao, fennel, anise, cardamom and lemongrass to succulent, juicy fruits like raspberry, orange, apple and even tart but deliciously sweet pomegranate.
The oolongs are a first cousin once removed from the black teas. Oolong tea is partially oxidized to lie somewhere between black and green. While the look is more along the lines of black teas, the taste is closer to the green teas but with a touch more oomph and a rounded mouthfeel. Oolongs are commonly produced in the Fujian province of China and on the island of Taiwan, formerly called Formosa, from which one of the more famous oolong teas is named.
While white teas are "less processed" than greens, they are usually somewhat more oxidized. Mild oxidation occurs during the "wilting" stage, when white tea is air-dried after it is first picked. White tea is then baked and dried further, and it may be very lightly rolled, but little is done to change what was picked from the plant. One way to tell that white tea is slightly oxidized is that white teas don't usually need to be steeped as carefully as greens. Steeping white tea with boiling water or for longer time periods can still produce good results.

Arielle's Q & A
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
With Jose Cuervo himself!
Favorite Sport/Team
New York Yankees
Go-to karaoke song
Spice Girls songs!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Basic ear piercing, two on my left cartilage, and a belly button piercing. One small tattoo on my lower abdominal area.
Mac or PC?
Nintendo, Xbox 360, PS3, or don't game?
Any! I love games! Especially competing with someone else. I love the challenge.
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
I am Super Woman. I swear, I am.
What's the most unusual place you've ever hooked up? How'd it go?
Define unusual.
What's in your purse or pocket right now?
What ISN'T in my purse right now. My whole life is in there. I can survive in an island with just my purse alone.
What do you feel most comfortable wearing?
Anything, as long as I'm wearing heels with it.
Would you rather have boring sex all the time or an amazing romp once a year?
Boring and sex cannot be put in the same sentence so this question is irrelevant.
What is your Axe personality?
A girl like me cannot possibly choose just one of all five outrageously spectacular characteristics that completely sums me up. The perfectly applied MAC makeup, the sexy eye catching stiletto heels, and of course a sexy little black dress that can instantly turn a mans blood boiling hot to the sight of every delicate curve of my body. With such qualities, how could a sexy little thing like me not flirt? A little flirting never hurt anyone. What man in the right Armani suit could resist? Flirting cannot be done unless you have brains. To be a flirt you have to have an intelligent and very slick way of thinking. I have my brainy side. Being a successful graduate student, studiousness and determination has bought me to where I am now. Success begins with books and ends with books. Learning is an everyday course that we attend to; we are each other's classmates. To enjoy learning, now that, that's intelligence. From purses to shoes to shiny little things, a girl can never have enough. Well, at least I know I cannot. I am sure I speak for all women out there when I say we all love to be placed on a high pedestal and be catered to. We are all high maintenance in some way or another. But as for me, I prefer to spoil myself rather than having someone else do all the spoiling. Sure it's great when someone else does, but its even better having it done myself. I must be kept maintained, tamed, but never ever vain. Though I was never a part of any sports team, I have the qualities of a sporty girl. Loving the challenge, the competition, and the adrenaline. I enjoy watching the Giants make a touch down and the Yankees hit a home run. I can hang with the guys and not get bored. Dance, dance, dance! One who doesn't love to dance, doesn't love anything at all. Not a reckless party girl but the stamina that I withhold can never be over ruled on the dance floor. After all, the way you dance shows the sexy side of you. On a simpler note, having to choose only one, I'd say my personality could be best described as high maintenance. Of course when people think high maintenance they assume the worst possible. But I am the good kind of high maintenance. The one that never settles for second best or anything less. The one who enjoys the more fabulous things in life but enjoys the smaller things even more because they have a greater meaning than materialistic things do. I know what I want and I will do all that I can to make sure that I get it. I am simply just, ME. And forever will be.

It's common sense! Everyone knows health begins with a varied diet of fresh foods - this applies to pets as well. People have been so brainwashed to think pets can only survive on preformulated dried up cereal or glop in a can infused with vitamins. Thank you for a great reminder that FOOD is FOOD and fresh is best!

What a very sweet idea, having people and dogs share foods appropriate to both. It's the perfect way to help children see animals as fellow creatures. It's been true through human history that breaking bread together binds people in special ways and now we can add our pets, and not just by giving left overs but by inviting them to share with us.

Submitted by Sandi | November 14 2009 | Permalink
My friend just emailed this article and said I had to read it...
Finally, someone that makes sense. Thanks 'fur' writing it...
I've always been an advocate for feeding my dogs 'regular' food. We really eat almost the same things.
I don't often tell people that my dog eats 'human' food because I always hear the same comment. 'Your dog is spoiled'... arg.
My dog had an eating problem as a puppy. I tried everything, I mean everything... he wasn't interested in food. I resolved the problem by giving him organic goats milk, and now at over 3 years, he's normal. I also just discovered he loves raw spinach. I often chop it up and mix it with his 'human' food... you would also think that since he eats regular food, poop time would be abnormal, it's not.
I think if our dogs won't eat what's in front of them, there's a good reason. I still might put a handful of organic kibble in his food for the vitamins, but guess what? He eats everything and most of the time leaves the kibble. Try experimenting with different foods, you'll have a happier, healthier dog. There for sure are no no's on what not to feed.. got that covered. Read the dog food and treat labels, mostly junk..yuk.
Keep up the encouraging work!
Aside from the Goats Milk and raw spinach, here's a list of other foods my dog likes:
Meat (occasional)
and the list goes on....
For chewing, he likes Bully Sticks.

I have noticed when I'm cooking that the dogs do like it when I toss them the bits of fresh vegetables (broccoli stems, carrots, even garlic!) I have always saved our left-over meat - I notice that the Salmon and eggs really makes my Collie's coats shine! But, I AM going to get some Turkey neck-bones for a treat - it's that time of year to be Thankful for our devoted dogs!

This is a fun and interesting article!!I am a dog lover myself, and only want the best foods for my Bernie. I would enjoy to read more articles just like this one!
Love the article! It was fun and extremely interesting! thank you for the great advice.
This was a fun and very educational article! thank you so much for educating me on the necessity of feeding our pets organic foods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Submitted by Suzanne | November 18 2009 | Permalink
I have always given my dogs and cats proper "human" food. This article reaffirms what I have known for a very long time. I refused to feed my animals store bought products after becoming educated about pet food ingredients. I do a homemade diet based upon the correct percentage of protein, vegetable, and carbohydrate for dogs & cats recommended to me by my holistic veterinarian. I also mix my own supplements to put on top of their food. When I initially switched to a homemade diet, you should have seen their coats--they were plush, needed very little brushing, and smelled of their own perfume. I also noticed a change in their behavior. Now there are some great human grade pet foods manufactured in the USA, which I have incorporated, in addition, to the homemade diet.

The situation resulted in a cult-like fascination with Harding, greater even than Kerrigan (who actually won an Olympic medal). Infamy is still "famy," so to speak. Quick, when is Tara Lipinski's birthday? Sara Hughes? Yeah, I don't know either, and those two were Olympic gold medalists! But today is Tonya Harding's 43rd birthday. The never-time Olympic medalist is all over the celebrity birthday lists. I love it.
So, in tribute to the American trash culture icon, I offer up a pair of other great Tonya Harding moments:
I love America!
