I'm a pretty lucky girl in that my husband does most of the cooking in our house. Occasionally, if he's stressed with work or I'm craving something really specific, I'll dust off my rusty culinary skills and whip up a little something, but in general, the kitchen is his domain.
Sometimes, though, neither of us is in the mood to do anything after work except to flop on the couch and have someone hand us a meal. That usually results in a sizable Seamless order, but recently we learned about a new option.
I'd like to introduce you to Kitchensurfing, an on-demand personal chef service where you can have a professional chef come to your home, prepare a meal, and clean up before you even sit down to eat. The result? A healthy, often locally sourced dinner in about 30 minutes time, cooked entirely to order.
Our chef, Claire, was delightful. She arrived promptly (even getting there a few minutes before we did), and quickly set up and started cooking. Joey and I sat at the table nearby and caught up on our days while the aroma of steak started to fill the kitchen.
Before we knew it, Claire was done, the kitchen was cleaned up, and dinner was served. And, you guys? It was gorgeous.
We had the Rosemary Beef Tagliata with Seared Polenta Cakes and an arugula salad with baby artichokes and a balsamic dressing. It was totally delicious.
The most amazing part of this service to us was that, besides being super quick and delicious, it's not even insanely outside our price-range — at least as an occasional luxury. Weekly pricing (one meal per week) for couples is $59, for a young family is $79, and for a family of four is $95. If you consider what you would spend on an evening out with friends, it's not that different (and you can do this in your pajamas!). Joey and I could also see using the service again for an anniversary or other special occasion.

I love when I promise you guys a post about a certain topic and am actually able to deliver in a reasonable amount of time. You know, instead of cowering around here in shame, avoiding eye contact because I know, I KNOW, you guys.
On a not totally unrelated note, I'm ready to share pictures of Vivian's nursery! (Can you believe it? Remember 2011 Justine and her empty promises of apartment posts? She was a real flake.)
A while back, I shared the plan for what I wanted to do in our tiny back bedroom, and in general, I didn't stray too far from that original vision. First, the photos:
Let's talk details. The first big decision I made about the room was the crib I wanted. I knew I wanted something white and modern that could easily be reused in the future if we had another baby, regardless if it was a boy or a girl. My parents generously offered to purchase this adorable model. If, for whatever reason we don't have a second tot or we wait a while longer, this crib also converts into a toddler bed so Vivi can get plenty of use out of it. Plus, I LOVE that extra storage drawer for her sheets and the FIVE handmade blankets she has been lovingly given so far.
The first actual purchase I made for her room, though, was this super soft shag rug. Our entire apartment is floored with tile, which while cool in the summer, I imagine will be a little chilly in the colder months. The rug is fluffy and cozy as can be, and I can totally imagine Vivi crawling around on it when she's a bit older.
Next, I was pretty thrilled to find this mid-century modern dresser on Craigslist after MONTHS of searching. As I said, the room itself is pretty small, so it took a while to find something within my budget that was also the perfect size for the space. This one has been impeccably maintained, and it provides tons of needed storage for the room.
The leaning bookshelf and rolling cart from IKEA were both items we had previously, meaning they didn't cost a penny to add to the room. Dontcha love that? And considering one of Vivi's showers was book-themed, it was nice to have a place to display her new library.
The picture frames were all mostly repurposed from other rooms in the apartment or given to me by friends who were doing their own clean-outs. I filled those with some of our maternity pictures and this and this from Etsy. Obviously I have a couple baby stock photos to replace once our actual baby arrives, but you get the idea of how it will look. I was also excited to be able to display the flower crowns my sister-in-law made for our gender reveal party — they match everything perfectly. I also added this light-blocking curtain from Target — in hopes of creating an environment where Vivi will just love to sleep.
Finally, those peonies on the wall. I was inspired to do some kind of flower mural by pictures I spotted on Pinterest, but I have to admit I was pretty nervous when it came time to put paint to wall. I am not really much of an artist (pretty much all of my flowers look like the ones you're looking at), and I'd never done anything on this scale before. When I painted the first layer, they mostly just looked like coral-y blobs, and I was convinced I had ruined everything. Then I started to even everything out, sort of the way I would pastels or even watercolor paints, and slowly the actual flowers took shape. Adding the stems also really helped to ground the whole thing and keep it from looking too floaty and girlie. Now that everything is in place, I'm glad I went for it and think they give the whole room a lot of character.
All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how the whole thing turned out. The room has a really cozy vibe when you first walk in, which, again, will hopefully be helpful in convincing our little lady to learn to sleep through the night quickly. (Are you sensing a pattern here?)
A couple of caveats before I can officially call the room DONE: I'm still waiting on the arrival of our mint glider. That should arrive by September 9th, though, so never fear. I'm planning to put it where you currently see Vivi's swing chair. (Her chair, by the way? SO COOL. I can control it from my phone. It's amazing.) I'm also waiting on this bear print that will most likely end up over the dresser somewhere, and this pillow to prop up in the glider.
It's kind of incredible what a sense of relief I have now that the nursery is baby-ready. (I also spent the weekend packing our hospital bags, so that's probably giving me a sense of ease as well.) Considering the little lady could make her appearance any time in the next 2-4 weeks (eek!), it's nice knowing I can check off these huge to-dos. I can't wait to bring her home!
I'm officially into the third trimester.
Even just writing that sentence fills me with, well, all the feelings.
I'm excited. I'm so, so, so excited that it's almost time to finally have our little girl in our arms. Joey and I talk every day about how much we can't wait to meet her and how much we're looking forward to even the most mundane moments. (Baby's first yawn? It's gonna kill me dead.)
I'm nervous. You guys, I'm going to be a mom. That's…big. One of the biggest things I've ever done. I want so much to be good at it without driving anyone (myself included) crazy. That's a lot of pressure.
I'm (a little) stressed. There is so much I want to do before Vivian makes her grand entrance. Blame it on the nesting, but whatever it is, here's everything that has been crowding my to-do list:
1. Finish the nursery.
Obviously this is a big one. We're planning to paint her room this weekend (and I'll hopefully get a start on the mural wall on Sunday). I also have some frames that I need to paint and fill for her walls. As soon as that's done, we'll order the crib. I've been looking around on Craigslist for the perfect dresser/changing table, but I haven't found the right one yet. I also need to start finding alternate places for everything we've been storing in the room until now.
2. Organize the hall and front closet.
I've mentioned before the weird abundance of closet space our apartment has. The front coat closet and hall closet are two that I feel are a bit underutilized at the moment. Now that we're much more settled, I want to basically take everything out of each of them and put it back in a way that makes the most sense. Being me, I'm of course weirdly excited to do this. In a similar vein, I also want to reorganize our cellar space. This is largely a room for Joey's sports equipment and bigger items we don't have room for, but I think it could be a little neater.
3. Do my bi-annual clothing cull.
I'm very serious about my twice-yearly clothing sorts where I get rid of anything that is cluttering up our closets. Since the little miss will be arriving around the time I usually do my fall closet purge, I'd like to get that taken care of over the summer. (Since, you know, I've heard people with newborns are fairly busy people.)
4. Just…generally clean everything?
I think I can definitely blame this one on the nesting, but I want to get at least one deep cleaning in sometime late summer. My mom is planning to spend a week or two with us after Vivi is born, so I know she will be extremely helpful with the general upkeep of the apartment, but I'll feel better if I know everything has had a fairly recent scrub-down. I also want to finish up any last-minute decor plans I've had rolling around my head so I'm not, I don't know, staring at those spots on the walls that need paint touch-ups in Vivian's third month. Hypothetically.
5. Get my own maintenance in.
As I said, people with babies seem pretty busy. So I want to get myself in order (as much as possible) before the baby gets here. That means dentist appointments, hair appointments, and any other last-minute things-that-make-me-feel-healthy-and-like-myself appointments needs to be scheduled sometime in August. Think of it as a pre-baby tune-up.
Okay, all written down, this list feels much more manageable. I really need about four solid weekends to get everything done. (Not the easy request since July is already pretty much taken up, but I still think I can get it done.)
Am I forgetting anything?
I'm going to tell you a sad story. It's called, "The Time I Tried to Make a Cheesecake for a Party."
And, yes, there is a bit of foreshadowing in that title, isn't there?
Last week, we found out two of our dear, dear friends were moving to Texas. To send them off in style, a group of us decided to put together a little Western-themed going-away party. Everyone chipped in or offered to bring a certain dish or drink for the party.
I offered to bring a cheesecake because it is one of our friend's favorite dessert.
Nice enough, right? Sound simple, doesn't it?
But, as you already know, this is a sad story. And sad stories are rarely nice and simple.
Anyone who has ever made a cheesecake before knows that it's at least a 2-day process if you're making the real deal. (Your no-bake Jell-o versions need not apply here.) So, the day before the party, I rounded up the ingredients for a Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake with white chocolate chips (roughly $40 of ingredients because baking is expensive, yo) and got to work after dinner.
It's also relevant for you to know that my husband's pal Gregg was over for dinner, and he and Joey watched this whole thing go down.
After dinner, the boys sat around drinking scotch and bonding (I assume) while I went to work in the kitchen. I made my own crust from gluten-free ginger cookies to appease the guests with diet restrictions. I whipped the cream cheese and sour cream and sugar and white chocolate into a fluffy, pillow-y mass. I gently swirled the raspberry jam, thinking fondly of the fresh raspberries I had also purchased to adorn the cake the next day.
When everything had been lovingly combined and assembled, I arranged the springform-bound confection in a water bath and put it in the oven.
It takes almost two hours to bake a cheesecake, so the boys had a great deal of fun asking me at 20-minute intervals if they could eat it yet. Ah…what fun we had…before the incident.
I always get nervous at this stage of cheesecake making because it's so difficult to tell if it's truly done. The center should still be a bit wiggly when you take the cake out of the oven because it sets up in the fridge overnight. If you over-bake a cheesecake, it gets a dry, almost powdery consistency that still usually tastes okay but is not as pleasing.
I was even more nervous because my little, old oven is not exactly the most reliable appliance.
But despite my trepidation, I finally got the cake to the correct consistency and set it on the stove to cool for an hour before it was to be refrigerated.
By this time, it was after eleven, and this old lady was quite tired to be up past her bedtime. But after washing all the dishes (because what's the point of a perfectly prepared dessert if your kitchen is a disaster?) I watched TV with the guys and we chatted amicably about how to make cheesecake (and, no, they still couldn't eat it).
Around 11:45, I had to call it a night, so I went to put the cheesecake in the fridge.
When I tell this story in person, this is around the time when people start biting their lip or preemptively putting their hands over their mouths in anxiety.
I don't really have an excuse for what happened next. I mean, I was tired. The cake was kind of heavy. I had it on top of another pan so the butter wouldn't drip onto the floor. I was holding it with one hand and opening the fridge door with the other.
But really, the excuses don't matter. What matters is that one second I was opening the fridge door to put the cake in, and the next I was watching it, in slow motion, slide off the tray, nail a 180-degree flip, and then splatter all over the kitchen floor. The springform pan, free of it's creamy contents, did one of those slow, spin-rattles to a stop.
No one in the apartment breathed for a second. (Well, Bogey did. He was already lunging for the mess.)
A number of thoughts courses through my brain in those seconds.
"That did not just happen."
"I didn't even have a chance to clean the floor yet this week."
"$40 of ingredients."
"This is why I don't bake."
And an assortment of words not becoming of a lady.
I let out a long, slow breath, and started to clean up the mess. Joey tentatively approached me from behind. You know, the way you do a wild animal that might kill you.
"Oh babe…what happened?" he asked.
"I do not want to talk about what just happened," I seethed through clenched teeth.
"Ok," he replied quickly. "Do you want me to get the Wet Jet or-"
"I want you to stand there and not say anything."
"I can do that."
(Even in the moment, I have to give it up to Joey for just NOT trying to fix it in that moment. I was mad at everything, and he knew getting involved was a surefire way to make me mad at him, too.)
For the record, I didn't cry then. I didn't cry while I scooped the (still searing hot) cheesecake back into the pan with my fingers and a large spoon. I didn't cry while I sponged up the creamy bits the spoon couldn't get. I didn't cry while I mopped up the sticky remnants. I took a few shuddery breaths while I washed my hands and face, but I did not cry.
I told the guys I was going to bed. They quickly said, "Ok!" and gave me their best sympathetic glances.
I went to my bedroom and shut the door. And then? Then homegirl sobbed.
To be fair, I probably would have cried even if I wasn't dealing with Hulk-level hormones lately, but I'm sure it didn't help.
I heard the guys whispering furtively in the living room for a few minutes. Then a little while later, Gregg went home. Joey came into the bedroom and wrapped me in a bear hug.
"I just want you to know, Gregg and I both think you handled that better than we would have. We agreed that we definitely would have been throwing things."
"I…don't…want…to…talk about it," I heaved through my sobs.
We both went to bed. And the next day, Joey bought a cheesecake for the party. (I wanted nothing to do about it.)
I can laugh about it now, obviously. (Though the next morning, I still wasn't able to tell the story without getting glossy eyes.) But I just felt like sharing the story on here was the best way to purge it from my system.
So now, I want to hear your sad stories. Share your experiences of baking loves lost in the comments below. And we'll all bond over wasted ingredients and sticky floors together.
You know what is fun about knowing whether you're having a girl or a boy? EVERYTHING.
Not surprisingly, one of the things I was most looking forward to about being pregnant was planning our baby's nursery. I've been pinning nursery ideas for months, and now I can finally start making some decisions.
It took me all of 48 hours to make said decisions. I SAID I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT, OKAY?
Here is what I have culled together from a few of my favorite pins:
I want the room to feel girly without being too princess-y, so I'm working with a color palette of pink, mint, and loads of neutrals. I'd like to paint the room a very, very pale shade of pink (currently thinking Benjamin Moore's Hint of Pink):
Then I would really like to add a statement wall behind the crib of peachy pink peonies. I'm a little nervous about my ability to actually pull off said wall, but Joey and my mom are both pretty artistic, so maybe I can sweet talk them into helping me.
I've had a white crib picked out for a while now, but I want to balance out the femininity with a mid-century modern-style wood dresser and this ADORABLE (but yeesh-is-it-expensive) mint glider. A fluffy neutral rug will also ground the girly and create a soft landing spot for baby cuddles. For bedding, I love this DIY black, pink, and white quilt (and am hoping my crafty mom can maybe whip one up), and then I've been looking at mint, gray, and black-and-white polka dot bedding.
The rest of the details I'm trying to keep eclectic in keeping with my decor style in the rest of the apartment. A few mint, pink, gold, black, and white prints, as well as a display bookshelf in one corner. I'm also fairly smitten with that Gummi Bear nightlight and, come on, that piggy rocker? I die.
So that's what I'm thinking so far! When I first showed Joey a few pictures of what I was thinking, the conversation went like this:
Him: Cute! I like the bear print. But you know not everything has to be pink, right? 😉
Me: …
I promise I'm trying to temper my excitement about it being a girl, babe. I'm trying.
So there you have it! You know, I think I'm really going to like this whole nesting thing.
Really, I should have known that the new apartment was coming together too quickly.
We've only been in the new place for a couple months, and already I had the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom done. The hallway was going to be finished this weekend, and then all we would have left was the baby room.
It was just. Too. Simple.
Our upstairs neighbor must have known things were going a bit too swimmingly as well. So she decided to intervene.
Before I tell you this story, you need to know that our apartment is in the basement of a house. We have two floors, each of which are their own apartment, above us. We now return you to the story.
Last Friday, the woman on the third floor started filling up a pot of water in the sink. Then she left. For, apparently, hours. The pot quickly filled with water, and then the sink filled with water, and then the water overflowed and flooded her apartment. It then flooded the first floor apartment. It then started to leak into our apartment.
This is, apparently, the second time this woman has done this. *finger gun to the face motion*
Fortunately, Joey got home in time to realize what was happening (due to the three large, quickly expanding bubbles on our ceiling) and move our furniture out of the way and put put buckets under the bubbles. When everything was in place, he poked small holes in the bubbles to allow the water to drain into the buckets. The bubbles remained, but at least the water within them had been dealt with.
Or so we thought.
When our landlord sent over a contractor to assess the damage a week later (grumble), they found that water was not only in our hallway ceiling, it had also been leaking into one of our bedroom walls all week. The entire wall had rotted and needed to be ripped out. The ceiling needed to be opened, dried with heavy-duty fans for three days, and then either ripped out (if the wood had warped) or just have the sheetrock replaced (if it had not).
This all happened three days before we were supposed to have family over on Sunday for our gender reveal.
I was not, shall we say, pleased. There may have been tears. But I like to think I would have been able to handle it sans the weepies if I wasn't pregnant.
The negatives of this situation are fairly obvious, so let's look at the silver linings, okay?
1. This didn't happen when the baby was here. I would much rather deal with construction without having to worry about it upsetting anyone's nap time.
2. It could be worse? At least it's only one wall and one section of ceiling as opposed to the more heavy-duty damage our upstairs neighbors are dealing with.
3. A friend offered her house for the party. Which is super nice, I just hate having to impose. Blerg.
Those are pretty much all of the positives. Really, there is very little good about water damage.
Sooooo that's what's going on. But on the actual bright side, today is my anatomy scan ultrasound, so hopefully we will know more about our little bean this weekend. Stay tuned!

($95) Good full medium ruby. Highly nuanced and wonderfully expressive nose combines blue and black fruits and smoky oak. Fat, dense and smooth in the mouth, with superripe but fresh flavors of cassis, dark chocolate, smoke and cigar box. Finishes with big, rich, mellow tannins and lingering notes of coffee and chocolate. A very satisfying 2003 with considerable early appeal but also very good aging potential.Author: Stephen Tanzer
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
The 2003 Jericho Canyon, from a 40-acre parcel of vines at the base of Mount St. Helena, is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. This is David Ramey's homage to Pauillac. With a big sweet nose of white chocolate, creme de cassis, cedar, spice box, and high-quality smoky oak, it is full-bodied, rich, and tannic with notes of chocolate and espresso in the mouth. This wine also needs several years of cellaring and should last 15-20 years.Drink Dates: 2008-2025
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
Firm, dark and intense, with a rich, concentrated band of anise, currant, blackberry, mocha and light toasty, cedary oak. Very complex and balanced, with a finish that veers to the understated elements of the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. 1,700 cases made.Drink Dates: 2006-2011

Memory Scanner1.0
editor's review
Memory Scanner is a basic Windows freebie that puts you in control of the running processes, letting you terminate any of the displayed items.
More like a replacement for the standard Windows Task Manager, Memory Scanner relies on a basic GUI that only shows the running processes along with some very simple information for each of the entries.
The application shows the process name, process path and ID, with a dedicated option at the bottom of the one-window interface to show system processes.
While it also shows the number of running processes, Memory Scanner allows users to manually refresh the list of items, but you can't configure an automatic refresh mode.
What's more, every single process can be killed instantly using the "Terminate Process" button, but there's a bonus tool as well. Memory Scanner lets you terminate a process and delete the executable file, but extra care is recommended when using this particular utility.
Of course, administrator privileges are needed when using Memory Scanner on Windows 7 workstations, while the application runs on low resources and doesn't hamper system performance at all.
All in all, Memory Scanner is nothing more than a basic Windows Task Manager alternative, so it's hard to find a reason to abandon the built-in Windows utility and choose this one. It could however come in very handy if your computer is infected by a virus that also disables Task Manager.

My hair - fine (but lots of it!), coloured (natural dark blonde, dyed nearly black), and wavy, with a tendancy to go flat on top with a frizz halo (my nickname in highschool was "christmas tree hair"). I have a few long layers but anything other than that and my hair looks stringy. Anyways, I've tried so many different shampoos/conditioners and never really found anything I was happy with. I have access to a Cosmoprof so I mix between drugstore and salon brands. My most recent failure was Redken Frizz Dismiss line paired with Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil.
A few weeks ago, I had an Olaplex treatment done, and the stylist used Pureology Volume shampoo and conditioner, followed by L'Oreal Mythic Oil. I let my hair air dry while driving home and OMG the waves...the softness...amazing. I bought all 3 products last week and I'm really happy with them - a coworker commented that my hair looks fuller, so something must be working! I paid $22 CAD for a bottle at Cosmoprof (stylist price), but I would definitely pay retail.

When I first used Mythic Oil, I loved how soft and detangled it made my wet hair. It smells good like gardenias too!
Alas! :( When my hair is dried and flat ironed, it leaves my hair in no better manageable condition than before. If anything, my ends feel crunchier and my hair dryer and much coarser than before. I mean, I have some serious breakage after switching to this oil for just two weeks.
I previously used Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil mixed with a dab of Garnier Fructis' Moroccan Oil. The Invisible Oil alone isn't siliconey enough to tame my crazy hair. The two products seem to be a magic combination for my super thick and frizzy hair. I was hoping to find one product that achieves the same results.
The search continues! :/

I ended up buying this from SleekHair since I couldn't find it at my local beauty supply. It smells very good to my nose and softens without making my hair lose any volume. It tames flyaways and adds great shine. I only need two pumps for my medium textured hair which is bra strap length now. My hair doesn't feel greasy at all. It is pricey but worth it. I hope to try the matching shampoo and conditioner soon to see how well they work on my hair; just a bit hard for me to find locally.

Amazing product! I have medium length, wavy hair that is hard to control. My ends tend to split and die soon after trimming. that's why I always use product for damaged/dry hair and this oil really improved my hair condition! 2 pumps are enough for me, so I'll probably use one bottle forever (which makes up for the price). Overall it just gives a very natural healthy look (and shine) to my hair. The key is to find a correct amount of product you need to use. If you add too much it makes hair oily and flat (because of course it's an oil). Also this product smells amazing, which is always a big plus for me. Recommend it!

HG leave in oil. It's a perfect product. I'm serious. This oil leaves my hair insanely soft and sleek. I cannot stop touching it! Plus I put quite a bit in and it never makes my hair greasy, which is a problem I have quite a bit with hair oils. The smell makes me die of happiness...reminds me a bit of biolage. I cannot stop raving about this. I will absolutely buy it again, probably will have to stock up even before it's gone so I don't run out!

This product is amazing. My hair has never been so soft, I can't believe the difference in the feel before and after application of it. I would recommend this to anyone.

I agree with the other posters - this oil is wonderful. I have very thick wavy to curly hair. I've tried a lot of oils and I can tell the difference when I use Mythic Oil. It truly helps tame my unruly waves - they look smoother and my hair finally looks shiny instead of dry.

I'll just add myself to the list of people who love this product! I love the smell (for some reason it kind of reminds me of Bain de Soleil sun products...in a good way), but it's not too strong or overpowering. I apply a small amount to my hair when it's damp and wow - it really does make my hair soft, and my ends look amazing. I actually like combining it with the conditioner (not the mask) as a leave-in oil/conditioner combo. I have thick curly/coils, so wouldn't recommend trying that for all hair types! But in winter, when I'm paranoid about breakage and dryness, it works really well. It's just a lovely, luxurious product. I agree the price could be better, but I find a little goes a long way and the results are excellent.

This product is absolutely amazing. Ive been using it for couple of weeks and I cant be more satisfied. It makes your hair look healthy and shiny. I think that this is really worth the money and the bottle (125ml) can last for couple of months.

Just so that you understand my point of view on this product I have:
Color: Dark brown (naturally darker on top and gets lighter)
Length: almost at my waist
Texture: very thin, but I have A LOT of hair
Type: normal on top, but gets dry at the bottom
Others: I don't use heat on it very much since my hair is very straight and easy to style.
This hair oil from L'Or�al, is amazing! I got a sample after buying a shampoo and it was great. The sample has 1.5 fl.oz (45ml), which I consider a generous amount to get for free. It has the same pump most oils have, like the Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oils. A tiny bit goes a long way for me.
I pump one pump on my palms, rub my palms together and apply it at my very end, really just the tip. Since I have really long hair, it wasn't very healthy at the end and I didn't use very much product on it. After using it only a few times it made a big difference. My ends weren't as split as before and were beginning to be almost as healthy as the top of my head. I use it before blow drying my hair and on my dry hair in the mornings.
I used it everyday for three weeks and it barely made a difference in the bottle. I still have a lot of product left. Make sure not to use it on the top of your head since it isn't necessary and because it isn't a light weight oil. If you do, you're hair will most likely look greasy and it will weight down.
As I mentioned in another review this is why I don't use oil on the top of my head and why the ends are so dry, even without the use of heat: Many people wonder why their ends are dry and less healthy than the top of their head. The answer to that is that the hair gets it's nutriment and all the good stuff from the blood. When you have longer hair, all those oils and nutriment don't get to the end of your hair. That is why we do not need to put oils on the top of our head and why are ends are usually less healthy than the top.
As always, message me if you have any beauty related questions, especially makeup and hair questions.

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Nice feel to it, worth tryingThis show is a little bit different than recent slice of life animes we have received recently from crunchyroll and I must say its a breath of fresh air. Just from the first episode the characters feel established quite well, and the comedy while lighthearted plays on not only the office working experience but the customer service aspect very well. Any one who has worked in customer service or an ...Read more
Slice-of-life at its bestPlenty of laughs throughout the series and the ending was surprisingly satisfying for a short anime. This anime was produced by A-1 Pictures, the same studio that produced Wagnaria!!, so the style is similar. If you liked one of them, chances are you will like the other too!
Crazy and Clever ComedyNot to mention great character development! I tip my hat to the writers. I expected comedy and gags, some chuckles, but I never expected to fall in love with this series. There were some lulls for me, but overall this series is great! I'm actually glad it's short because I think it's complete and spreading it out any more would possibly ruin it.
Unexpected enjoyable!Coming into watching this show I thought it would be a nice way to kill some time, but luckily for me it was so much more than that. I really enjoyed all of the daily work interactions between all of the characters, especially those between Lucy and Hasabe. They were unbelievably cute together, and I liked the slow and well thought out development the series gave them. Everyone is wonderful in ...Read more
Lots of fun and laughter in this anime. Worth your time!I've just recently started getting into slice of life anime, originally avoiding them because I thought they seemed slow and dull. This is definitely not the case with Servant x Service. I found this gem after watching Working!!, another amazing slice of life created by the same people. This anime has a wonderful cast of characters and constantly made me laugh with each episode. The comedy was the ...Read more
Must...Type...Review...But...Short...On...Breath...From...Nonstop...Laughter...OH MAN THIS ANIME. It's just perfect. Great laughs, great characters, interesting setting (it's set in the workplace in case you guys didn't know from the anime's blurb). It's so funny and I HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who just needs a good laugh. It has no real plot for the most part, but that's the beautiful part. It doesn't try to force one. It looks at itself and says, "Let's just have fun ...Read more
Hilarious, bright, and easy to pick upThe OP and ED are both light and colorful! I could listen to them on loop! They give you a sense of just what this anime is about: the craziness of work, yet still maintaining a light tone and a dash of humor. Every character is likable and unique, and they all get screen time to interact with each other. Plus there's a good amount of plot for it being slice of life!
Anything can happen in civil serviceThis show was really odd. Someone recommended it to me cause they liked Wagnaria! I watched one episode of that show and was bored.Read more
The theme song is very catchy, the characters were different and funny in their own ways. The ending was a bit rushed as all animes usually are. I don't think they could really warrant another season after watching this. I think they did a nice job of tying the ...
More Plot Driven than ExpectedFound this under the Slice of Life tag and went in without any prior knowledge. Here you'll find the usual tropes with some satisfying twists. The main characters all have some sort of plot-driving flaw (insecurity and fear of standing out being the most common one) which hurtles the story through romantic (heavy with the portent of failure) entanglements, which makes this more structured than ...Read more
servant x service.....this is a slice of life anime with romance overtones about a bunch of welfare agency workers in japan i know sounds like watching paint dry dont it? well dont be fooled this anime is really enjoyable to watch the comedy is fun the animation is fluid and good to look at the characters are developed enough to carry the story and its a good snapshot of office life and relationships in japan its not ...Read more

There is a power shift going on between between old and new media
Nobody since Gorbachev has done as much to heat up relations between East and West as Anna Chapman, the saucy spy who last week stripped to her undies for the cover of Maxim's Russian edition. And Gorbachev's family, it turns out, is aware of Ms Chapman's work. "My husband reads Maxim," Gorbachev's fashion journalist granddaughter Anastasia told me yesterday, "so I'm used to seeing the magazine around the house."
ITV's relaunched Daybreak show has slipped a million viewers behind its BBC rival for the first time, figures showed today.
The Independent's Amol Rajan, a former 'mic boy' on the show, celebrates its birthday
Chiles and Bleakley's 'Daybreak' looked different – but felt like 'GMTV'
BBC bosses were today hoping to repeat the success of former One Show presenter Christine Bleakley by unveiling a replacement who even looks like her.

Jonathan Ross has signed a deal to present a chat show for ITV, it was announced today.

ITV's World Cup took another turn for the worse yesterday when one of its pundits, Robbie Earle, was fired for selling a batch of match tickets which were allegedly used by a beer company in a marketing exercise.
They score, the fans erupt, then the Three Lions tick another box in their tournament list with a huge blunder.
TV presenter Christine Bleakley admitted tonight she is "torn" by offers to make her future with ITV or the BBC - but has not yet plumped for either.
Long-running morning slot GMTV is to drop its name in a £1.5 million shake-up.
It might, as they say, be best to sit down. Michael Flatley – Irish jigster, sometime holder of the world record for taps per second, all too easily confused with Mick Hucknall – is making a comeback. More than that: he plans to rejoin Lord Of The Dance, the multimillion-pound tap-dancing monolith he founded in 1996.
Adrian Chiles is quitting BBC1's The One Show for a new four-year deal with ITV, it was announced today.
Chris Evans is to make his return to television as host of The One Show on Friday nights.
Exhausted TV host Christine Bleakley completed her water-ski challenge across the English Channel today - and said it was "utter torture".

All I can say is, DON'T get off-brand lenses. It'd be like putting bald tires on a Porsche...what's the point, really.
Quality Nikkor optics are available so inexpensively these days - no reason you can't fit your budget AND get top results together. Good luck!
I agree that in general, Nikkors are better but there are some specific third-party lenses that are not crazy to use at all.
Maybe by "bald" you meant "racing slicks"... and in that case, most of the time that would be bad but on a bare, dry road that would be amazing! :)
try some bald zeiss glass on your nikon f5, but first get some money...

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre turning 40 with special season
Given Milwaukee's thriving theater scene, it's hard to imagine the landscape in 1975, when Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson launched the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre as what was then only the second year-round Milwaukee theater company — along with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — hiring Equity actors.
Under artistic director C. Michael Wright — to whom Davis handed the baton in 2005 — the Chamber is celebrating its 40th birthday with a five-play season titled "Something Old, Borrowed and New," in which past Chamber hits will share the stage with new plays. It all gets underway with "Master Class," a collaboration with Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Carroll University beginning Aug. 7. »Read Full Article

I can't find that model listed on this page as being one of those that support AirPrint, so you will need an app. You could see if HP's own ePrint app works with it, or there are a number of third-party printer apps which might work with it e.g. Print n Share, PrintCentral Pro etc

Memories To Last A Lifetime At The 97th Annual Ephrata Fair
(Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese)
This year's Ephrata Fair was the 97th annual, and it did not disappoint the thousands who attended. Awesome weather, combined with great food and family fun, made for lasting memories thanks to all the hard work and organization by countless volunteers. Shown clockwise from top left are: Faith Geib's parade favorite Make-A-Wish float; a six-second exposure handheld and panned to blur the Ferris wheel; a young cow poke covers her nose at Tent City; a blindfolded driver competes in the tractor driving contest; a parade string band; children enjoying corn crib play time; two ladies and their show sheep silhouetted against a tent wall as they wash and prep their animals for competition; and several young girls run like the wind to catch a nimble pig.

I've got so much to do that my stomach is burning and buzzing and my mouth is dry and my jaw is clenched and my shoulders are scrunched up around my neck. I'm dumping out here because if I don't, I may continue to panic like I am and this is not comfortable, so I need to do something about it.
Mainly, I'm trying to remind myself to breathe. Just breathe. Its hard to do though when you have a million things running around in your head, like the need to make a doctors appointment, the need to stop drinking caffeine, the need to get to your homework finally, the need to clean the house and pick up the daughter from daycare, the need to eat something more substantial than a sugary oatmeal cup and iced latte from the corner coffee shop.
Y'all, I feel like I'm failing. I feel like I just want to give up because that's what I'd do anyway, right? I'd quit. I'd "just do whatever I want to anyway." Why not just give in?
Breathing in………….breathing out…………breathing in………..breathing out…………
Okay, that's a little bit better.
I'm breathing now.
Sometimes that's all I can do in any given moment. I wish I could multi-task, even though I know this concept is a fiction- a story we tell ourselves in our hectic digitalized age. None of us really can multi-task. Only one thing at a time if you are going to do any one thing remotely well. Still, I fall for it. I see my list – broken up into sections, naturally- but each list is a mile long and I think about how much time I have to do these things and I think about the conditions that are ideal for me to get through the list and I cannot reconcile these two things.
My inner wisdom says to just sit with the discomfort, but y'all, I don't have time to just sit with the discomfort.
What happens if I don't do it all? What happens if I fail this class? What happens if I get my homework done on time, but the house doesn't get cleaned? What happens if I lose my mind while sitting in a crazy messy, smelly house (because I will) and I permanently emotionally damage Olivia?
Okay, now that I type this out I realize how ridiculous this sounds.
Before I started typing this post, I typed out my list with the intention of sharing it here, so that's what I'll go back to now. My list. Slowly and steadily I'll cross each item off, prioritizing as I go, always putting Olivia first. What is best for her? See…that's where I get so stuck! If I'm concerned about her welfare then why do I spend so much time away from her doing my homework? If I love her, why am I so stressed out about the house being messy? If I care, why do I……………
This is about control, isn't it?

YMMV: Dead Snow
- Black Comedy: The absurd extreme of death, mutilation and horror oddly has the opposite effect from Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy. It is a very violent movie, and about 90 percent of that violence is played for laughs.
- Complete Monster: In these two horror-comedies, Standartenführer (Oberst) Herzog is a literal Nazi Zombie who occupied and brutalized a town in Norway. Once the people had enough, they drove Herzog into the snows where he and his soldiers froze to death. After death, Herzog becomes a powerful undead being who kills any who come for the gold he commands. When he manages to leave the mountain, Herzog uses his men to slaughter all in their path and raises them as new zombies to fill his undead army. Herzog sets his sights upon the nearby town, intending to destroy it, aiming at completing all the aims of the Third Reich in undeath. Herzog shows through a massive bodycount of men, women and children that death does nothing to diminish the monstrosity of a devoted Nazi.
- Even Better Sequel: The second movie is widely regarded as better than the first simply because it's faster and more of an action comedy with a LOT of violence, even better humour and more likeable characters.
- Spiritual Licensee: This might as well be Nazi Zombies: The Movie...in Norwegian.
- Too Cool to Live: Vegard.
- What an Idiot: The man who delivers the exposition just flat out tells them about the Nazis and that they should be very careful - which the students scoff at. Perhaps a better plan would have been to say that an unusual number of people had gone missing. The fact that he then camps out in the selfsame area...
- Presumably the above-mentioned emergency call would have gone better if they'd just said they were being attacked by a gang of crazies.

A protective delivery vehicle that shuttles friendly bacteria safely through the stomach to the intestines could provide a major boost for the probiotics industry. The new technology could also be used for the delivery of certain drugs and even increase calcium absorption, according to research presented at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn Conference at the University of York this week.
The probiotic industry is worth 200 million a year in the UK. Probiotic foods contain live beneficial bacteria and may help maintain and improve gut health, strengthen immunity, fight gastro-intestinal and respiratory disorders and even show anti-tumour effects. One of the challenges for manufacturers of probiotic foods is getting high enough numbers of these bacteria into the intestines; most perish under the heavy acidic conditions of the stomach. Scientists from the University of Wolverhampton led by Dr Iza Radecka, have now found a solution to this problem by developing a special type of biopolymer that protects probiotic bacteria in the stomach and delivers them safely to the intestines where they can get to work.
The novel biopolymer is completely biodegradable and is able to remain intact in the stomach and continue to the intestine, where it disintegrates, releasing the bacteria. The researchers showed that beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria strains were able to survive in a simulated gastric juice solution for up to four hours when they were coated with the polymer. Bacteria that did not have this coating only survived for two hours. "Our research uses a novel biodegradable, edible and non-toxic biopolymer to protect bacteria during storage and after ingestion so that consistent numbers of live and viable friendly bacteria can be administered via food products," explained Dr Radecka.
The researchers believe their findings could have a major impact on the probiotics industry. "There is an ongoing debat

Calvin Baker violin, Boston 1881
Calvin Baker apprenticed with Asa White and worked for Thompson & Odell at 177 Washington Street in Boston. He also worked for Orin Weeman and had his own shops in Braintree and Weymouth, Massachusetts. He later partnered with H. E. Abbott of Baker & Abbott in Boston.
This violin is made from wood salvaged from the old Marlboro Hotel built in 1837 and formerly located at 229 Washington Street in Boston. It is after a Stradivari model, with a beautiful two-piece maple back of medium flame and varnish of golden orange. Typical of Baker's instruments, the stamp C. BAKER appears on the back under the button, interrupting the line of purfling. The violin possesses excellent volume and clarity, and is bold and bright.

Johaana Del...NicaraguaRetailFunding via MiCredito
María CristinaNicaraguaRetailFunding via MiCredito
Rosalina Alejandra
Update on Rosalina AlejandraRosalina, 55, is a single mother of five children, who are independent, in the city of León. León is in the west of the country. Rosalind sells flip-flops for women, children and men, and shoes made of fabric. She's been running this business for 19 years. The idea for this business came about as a result of needing a source of income to help out with expenses at home. Rosalind has shown herself to be responsible in repaying previous loans. The objective of this loan is to invest in business capital and stock her business with flip-flops for women, children and men, and shoes made of fabric. Rosalind is grateful for the help Kiva investors offer those of few resources -- and poor countries like Nicaragua -- so that they can have a dignified work environment.
Previous Loan DetailsRosalina Alejandra is an entrepreneur who has been successful. Her business is selling general merchandise. This is not the first time that Rosalina has received a loan from Fundación León 2000. She tells us that, thanks to the support she has received, she has increased her stock and is able ... More from Rosalina Alejandra's previous loan »
Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Needed a place for my hardworking Hubby to relax, and get some much needed rest. We didn't need anywhere that had a lot of kids running around, or a lot of noisy people, or loud entertainment. So based on the reviews, I decided to book at Coyaba. I could count on 1 hand how many kids we saw for the week we were there. The property is small, but it has a nice, quiet, and calm atmosphere.
Our room was very spacious.......we especially liked the ocean view from the balcony. The view was a bit blocked by the overgrown trees that desperately need pruning. But other than that, it's worth it. The front desk staff were very courteous. The restaurant staff were a bit slow. One day, it took us 45 minutes to get 2 sandwiches. We had dinner only 1 night and that was the last time we ate a meal there. Unfortunately, the food was never worth the wait. Thankfully it's not an all-inclusive, or I would've been pissed! Nice touch having the manager's social on Monday night, happy hour on Friday night (2 for 1 drinks) and daily afternoon tea. All included hor d'oeuvres & fruit. There's a supermarket (with a pink awning) 5 mins drive away (Blue Diamond). It has a great fruit stand in front that has some GREAT seasonal local fruit. We stocked up for the room.
Whenever we were on the resort, we spent most of our time laying on the beach. Other than that, we were all over the island!

Dear Members,
It has been a very busy start of the year for all of us. The general feedback from our members is that they find their workload to be unrealistic with all the new initiatives, Lucy Calkins, Eureka math, and PBIS to name a few of the changes. Various forms and procedures have been changed too. We have met with the Superintendent and Dr. Kwong to discuss the absolute frustration and stress the staff has been under this year. As a result, we got the October staff meeting time to work on our goals (it's a start) then the grammar school have been given two common planning days per month to use for our needs which includes meeting with our colleagues and do the paperwork that has robbed us of most of our regular planning time.
Please be aware that any time forms, procedures, added classes, and schedules are added or modified, these are changes in working conditions. Please alert us as they are either going to be inplemented or implenented. Under Chapter 150E, our working conditions are subject to bargaining. We need to negotiate these things and if an MOA is in order, then that is what must happen otherwise, the change cannot continue.
We are meeting again with the Superintendent and Dr. Kwong on Oct. 15 to continue discussing these issues. We will inform you of the results of that meeting. It is our hope that administration will continue to listen to our concerns and needs. Our working conditions are our student learning conditions.
In solidarity,
Donna Gogas & Carl Fowler
