Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'
Given the miserable spring we've been having, I probably don't need to explain the appeal of a play titled "Jeeves in Bloom," the second of Margaret Raether's three stage adaptations of the P.G. Wodehouse stories and novels featuring Bertie Wooster's ever-capable valet.
Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

Use this guide to minister to families in crisis.
She's always been such a bright, happy child," the teacher said
to me. "Always listening intently and taking part in everything we
do. But lately, she's been withdrawn and participates only rarely.
I thought maybe she was just going through a phase. Then today, in
the middle of the Bible story, she climbed into my lap, turned her
face up to mine and said, 'My daddy went away.' Her eyes were so
sad, I didn't know what to do! So I just held her. Can you tell me
what's going on in her family?"
I didn't know, but I told her I'd find out. Several days later,
I discovered that her parents had separated a few weeks earlier and
were now in the process of a divorce.
I have to admit I was a bit shaken by this experience. It was
the first time I'd encountered such a dramatic change of behavior
in a child due to what was happening in her family. That was many
years ago, and in those days, I didn't know what to do for children
in that situation. So I told the teacher to give her a little extra
It wasn't until years later that the issue surfaced again. In a
new children's ministry position, I encountered more out-of-control
behavior than I'd seen in all the years at my other church. As I
became better acquainted with the families in the church, I
discovered most of the problems could be directly traced to what
was happening within each child's family. We had children whose
parents were separated, divorced, or remarried. We had children
being raised by their grandparents, children in foster care, and
those living with an alcoholic or addicted parent.

HC - hunt
OF - open
SS - single
- double sunk
LS - lever set PS - pendant set KW - keywind KS - keyset
HL - hairline(s) on dial
Each item is preceded by its item number, item numbers beginning
with M are movements only. Please order by item number, or
include it when asking questions.
I first started writing watch parts lists in 1981. I try to be critical in my evaluations so as to avoid disappointments or the bother of returns. I try to follow this format:
Item number
Size - standard sizes use 'S' for size, millimeter(mm) measurements are the diameter of the widest part of the pillar plate
Jewels - if unmarked I will state the minimum with a + if I think there might be more
OF or HC - open face or hunting
LS or PS - lever set or pendant set
SS or DS - single sunk or double sunk
Dial condition - nothing said, dial is good porcelain. HL, has a hairline or two, not too bad. Several HL, its a bit worse. Bad dial, speaks for itself. A chip is just that, a flake is a little piece off the edge such that no copper shows.
Serial number
General description - will mostly be a listing of damage and missing pieces, I try my best not to miss anything, will be more complete and critical on an expensive piece than on a lower priced item. If the balance staff is broken or there is some other major problem I usually won't check the mainspring. If I say the balance staff is broken, it could be that a jewel is broken and the balance is OK– I don't take them apart to check. Running means running with pretty good motion to the balance, but please assume you will need to clean.
Hands – please check out the photo

The Alabama Football Team is at full strength. Former LeFlore standout Danny Woodson Jr. has joined the team, just days after Duron Carter was cleared to play for the Crimson Tide.
Both players battled transcript issues that forced them to miss most of training camp. Woodson was a standout wide receiver at LeFlore, while Carter is a former Ohio State and JUCO wide out.
Carter is expected to contribute, although probably not in the opener. It's unclear if Woodson will play or redshirt this season.

"The SEAT Mii offers all the good bits of the Volkswagen up! for a slightly lower price."
If you're after one of the best city cars available right now, then you simply must give the SEAT Mii serious consideration. Essentially, it's the same car as the Volkswagen up! and Skoda Citigo, but cheaper than the VW and slightly more interesting to look at than the Skoda.
Outside of its immediate family, the Mii counts the Hyundai i10, Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1 among its rivals. Out of the Skoda/SEAT/VW triumvirate, you may find the SEAT the best looking; it's certainly the most distinctive, with its angular headlights and trapezoidal grille.
Under the bonnet, there's a choice of two 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engines, producing 59 and 74bhp respectively. There's very little difference in performance between the two and as the more powerful engine is only available at the pricier end of the range, you may find it's not really worth it.
Both work really well in town and don't feel out of place on the motorway, either, while the standard slick-shifting five-speed manual gearbox is impressive, too. Unless you really need it, however, you should avoid the automatic gearbox, as it's slow, jerky and hesitant.
No Mii costs more than £20 a year in road tax, but only the Ecomotive version of the 59bhp version (available only with the SE Technology trim level) is exempt, thanks to its 95g/km CO2 emissions. All others emit between 105 and 106g/km, with the standard 59bhp engine managing 62.8mpg and the Ecomotive version just under 69mpg fuel economy.
There's no Ecomotive version of the more powerful 74bhp engine, but it still manages a shade over 60mpg fuel economy The automatic gearbox (which is only available with this more powerful engine) increases that figure to 63mpg.
One of the things that really marks the Mii out in the city-car class – along with its VW group siblings – is the fact that it secured a full five-star crash safety rating from Euro NCAP. It scored a very impressive 89% for adult occupant protection and 80% for child occupant protection. As well as the mandatory anti-lock brakes, stability control and traction control, all Miis come with a multitude of airbags as well as a system called Safety Assist, which will automatically apply the brakes at speeds between 3mph and 19mph if it detects an imminent crash. ISOFIX child-seat mounts and tyre-pressure monitoring are also standard.
You can have your Mii in one of six different trim levels – S, S A/C, Design Mii, SE Technology, FR-Line and Mii by Mango. All models come with a CD stereo, body-coloured bumpers and a height-adjustable steering wheel. Our favourite trim level, however, is the mid-range SE technology, which adds alloy wheels, Bluetooth phone connectivity, sat nav and air-conditioning.
MPG, running costs & CO2
The SEAT Mii is very cheap to run, with good fuel economy and the Ecomotive model qualifying for free road tax
Engines, drive & performance
Spritely performance and good handling make the SEAT Mii fun to drive
Interior & comfort
SEAT Mii offers comfort and space to rival many larger and more expensive cars
Practicality & boot space
The SEAT Mii is cleverly designed, making it exceptionally spacious and versatile for a city car
Reliability & safety
The SEAT Mii is a robust and dependable little car, with very good safety ratings.

Natural Hair Gel Recipe (with How-to Video)Personal Care
A few months ago, my friend Leslie told me that she was looking into making a natural hair gel herself at home. She suggested I look into it also as we both have long curly hair.
I started researching the idea of making a natural hair gel myself right away as I found the concept intriguing. I scoured the internet for various recipes and started experimenting to see which would work best for my type of hair.
In this video, I demonstrate the best natural hair gel recipe I tried for curly or wavy hair, and it only takes about 10 minutes to make!
If you use store hair gel, I would recommend that you give this homemade gel a whirl and see what you think. If you've ever checked the label on commercial hair gels, you know that they are loaded with chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
Even though these toxins aren't going to absorb into your bloodstream like they would if you slathered it on your skin, these chemicals still get on your pillowcase at night potentially contacting your skin while you sleep. In addition, anything on your hair is close to your nose so you would breath in the hormone disrupting fragrances.
I would particularly recommend this natural hair gel if you are pregnant or nursing as you don't want to come into daily contact with the toxins that could potentially harm your baby.
Do you make your own homemade, natural hair gel? If so, please share your recipe in the comments section!
The natural hair gel I demonstrate in the video below is made with flax seeds, but there are many other ways to make it. Don't worry that you can't use this recipe if you have thyroid issues because flax seeds are goitrogenic. This would be a problem if you ate them. Putting them on your hair is fine!
Natural Hair Gel How-to Video
Natural Hair Gel Recipe
Makes about 4 oz
1 cup filtered water
2 Tbl organic whole flax seeds (where to source)
Few drops of essential oils for natural fragrance (optional)
Few drops of aloe vera gel for a moisturizing effect (optional)
Bring the cup of filtered water to a boil. Stir in the flax seeds, turn down the heat to medium and let simmer for between 7-10 minutes.
*Do not simmer longer than 10 minutes else you won't be able to strain out the flax seeds from the gel.
Strain out the flax seeds using a strainer or cheesecloth and let the gel cool. Mix a few drops of essential oils and/or aloe vera if desired.
Pour natural hair gel into a small bottle and use immediately or refrigerate.
Pour a dollop into the palm of your hand and mix through wet hair as frequently as desired.
This gel will last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

It is Feb. 2016 – I have been looking for this recipe for over 30 years (way before I owned a home computer)! (I first heard about using flax seed for hair conditioner from a senor who said flax was what they always used back in her day.) Glad to hear it is so easy to make!
So, I was wondering if you could just use purchased flax seed oil/juice intead of boiling the seeds to make a gel? I like a more liquidy spray gel. I find a regular 'gel' seems to weigh my baby fine curly hair down and make it look oily.
Hi! You can still make and use this recipe, just use ore water or less flax seed, or let it cook for less time. I also have hair like yours and I use this a the time with NO greasiness at all. Just try it…….

Does it work on African American hair?
Darice Davis
I originally saw this DIY hair tip on a Black girl's hair site on youtube.com 3-4 years ago (it's now 12/29/14) when I was searching for braiding and corn row tips and directions.
I love it and enjoy multi-purposing an ingredient I also use in my morning smoothies, flaxseed, for topical uses as well. I keep a supply on hand in the freezer as God assigned my short, Halle Berry pixie cut hair as the wash and wear variety that easily frizzes and has a mind of its own daily.
Another note: Save the boiled flaxseed in a separate freezer bag and reuse them. This recipe has helped cut down time to get ready to go in my busy scheduled. So it's a keeper for me!
Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you so much for this great recipe. I have waist length long layered straight hair that is very fine. I needed something to help control frizz without being heavy because my hair gets weighed down quite easily. I changed up the recipe a bit by adding some EVOO and doubling the water so it's not quite so viscous. I also added some jasmine EO and I love it!!!!!!!! It feels so good and did exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be using this from now on.
I am currently looking for a good thermal guard/anti friz treatment for hair that does not affect ones lungs or skin poorly? This is for long, Straight hair with a little body, but not curly. Most everything on the shelves hurt my lungs, especially after blown dry. I am getting tired of looking.
This woman has amazing tips for natural hair care
After watching that video, I am really exited to use this gel on my hairs…
I am wondering what you do to clean your hair. I have very similar hair and have been using the conditioner-only cleansing method for years now, but would love something a little cheaper and more natural. The baking soda/vinegar idea that is popular was terrible for my hair – very drying. I am interested in trying this gel. I have lots of curls, but my hair is fine and gets very limp very quickly.

I made a batch using rosewater. It smelled funny while it was still hot, but once cooled, it smells wonderful! I'm going to use some orange blossom water next.
I have been making this hair gel (without EO's) for years. I love it!
I have waist length curly hair and it works wonderfully. Initally I made it during
a time where we were very tight on money, but now, I would never go back to
store bought stuff!
A hint I didn't see mentioned: it helps to add honey to prevent frizz. I just eye the honey into the gel when it hot and stir with a fork. I also store it in a peri bottle in the fridge, it is easier to apply that way. I wrap my hair in an old cotton t-shirt after applying it helps the drying process and gives me less frizz.

Rachel thanks for the "slime" idea. My grand daughter has been wanting to buy that stuff and I refuse. I'll be making some for her tommorrow colored with beet juice.
V ivian –
Great idea! I'd be curious to hear how the slime-making goes. ☺ One suggestion: try using either more water or less seeds and/or cooking it longer to make the mixture thicker and easier to hold. Won't your granddaughter be surprised when you tell her it's edible (though definitely not advisable if the slime goes everywhere the store-bought slime typically goes). ☺
Okay, so I'd made three different batches of this gel the other day. (See my post above regarding reusing the flax seeds in subsequent batches.) This evening, I was reheating some bean mixture on the stove and it was a bit dry. I'd already throw out the "bean juice" from cooking, and I didn't have any broth to use to add moisture to the mix. I saw the gel in the fridge and thought, hmm. No weird odor. Doesn't seem like it would affect the taste of beans. It might even add nutrients….
So, after my kids finished their beans, I disclosed the fact that they'd just eaten some of Mom's hair gel (clean batch, of course). The look on their faces was priceless. ☺ (After they smelled it and watched me pour it back and forth between two jars, they were fascinated by the gooey substance. My sons decided it was as good as the colored "slime" in the stores.)
Then I got curious, and Googled it. Turns out that consuming "boiled flaxseed oil" has other health benefts, including clearing mucus from the lungs and helping rid the body of disease.

Awesome! I'm drinking a version of the orange drink as I type. I got right up when I read the link you posted and made some. I've had horrible congestion and a cough that doubles me over (and makes me cross my legs – oy!) for a week. I'm now hoping that's gone by morning. I didn't have orange juice concentrate, so I used a fresh clementine and raw honey instead of sugar. It's very palatable.
By the way, I was also happy to find a use for the flaxseed oil, as it didn't do well on my hair yesterday… guess I won't be retiring that flat iron just yet (re: my comment above).
Thanks, Rachel!

do you think chia would work? It's all I have at the moment. I use gelatin too but I don't like how it sets and doesn't stay soft.
Megan thanks for the soap pump idea. Perfect! I would like to hear about hairspray also.
I too absolutely love this gel. I've never used gel before but tried it this morning and I'm totally enamoured with it. It's given my fine hair such a full bodied look and feel.
I love that day by day, my trips down the aisles of the stores are becoming more focussed on just a few.

This is very clever!
Leah Segura via Facebook
I use aloe and it works great.
Made this recipe yesterday, have used the gel twice and absolutely love it!
I've been using this recipe for about six months now and love it. It's not too stiff though so I if i am too active before it dries, my frizzies start to return. I'm too lazy to use aloe since I have to get it from my aloe plants.
At first i thought refrigeration was a pain too, but now I'm in the habit of swinging by the fridge on my way to the bathroom.
It washes right out with water, and I store it in a repurposed soap pump for easier application since it's a bit liquidy.
NOW I need a natural hair spray!!
hey amazing tips and very Easy and Natural Tips for Best Hair Color
its really helpful in Hair Tps- Growth, gloriously healthy hair, face shape
i like your blog thanks !
To someone who about the consistency of this gel recipe, it's almost identical to egg whites. Highly viscose. If you're not careful, the whole "puddle" will fall off your hand! I've only tried it in my hair a couple times so far, and haven't washed it yet, but I'll post my results when I do.
If you have curly hair, I agree with Mary Ann who said that the book Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey was a huge help to her. I have not been able to do "no-poo" (no shampoo), but I do use a very mild shampoo and lots of conditioner. Curly girls need lots of moisture and not as much washing as straight-haired girls because their hair is more dry, by nature.
To those of you who use baking soda, vinegar, or lemon juice in your hair, I would encourage you to do your research on that. Look on YouTube for videos put together by Kimmaytube. She did a series called the Structure of Hair which is excellent in explaining the scientific reason that these substances actually put your hair through a pH roller coaster and can be VERY damaging. I'm all for natural personal care products, but not if they cause damage. Her videos were enlightening.
And last, but not least, I discovered that the flax seeds can be reused after you make this hair gel recipe! Just boil some more water, put the drained seeds back in the pan and simmer them again! I did it two more times with the same seeds after the first batch. Probably could have kept going too, but I figured that would be plenty of gel for now. ☺ Each batch turned out darker than the last. Second batch didn't take as long to thicken; third batch took longer.
April Reeves
Thank you for this recipe! And since you use makeup as well, why not let us in on what brand you use! Likely it's not a mass manufacturer either!
Kim from Dallas
Mineral Hygienics is great. Only four ingredients, all minerals and they stay on your face for 12 hours or more!
I have straight hair and use this. if you want a lil curl put in tea of epusm salts and scurch
We have been making this for about 6 months and it's wonderful.
Instead of cheesecloth I found a small screen strainer is alot easier.
We shampoo with bubbleandbee shampoo rinse with vinegar
Audrey Smith
Well, I feel like an idiot for ever paying for store hair gel! I'm doing this one right away!
Thanks for this recipe. I made this years ago and had forgotten all about it. Would you tell us what else you use in your hair? It's so shiny, and that's not always easy for curly girls to achieve. Thanks.
Hahaha Susan!!!
Thanks all for the putty recipes! Having short straight thin hair necessitates putty. Since this is the only Junk I put on/in my body I'm going to try this for sure! So excited
Carla Storer
I have waist length curly hair. Made this gel today….followed directions exactly. Applied to my hair about 5 hr ago and so far I LOVE it. My hair is MUCH softer than when I use store bought gel too! Soo excited to find this recipe!
I prefer hair putty over gel so I make my own hair putty. The putty from the store is horrible and can even sometimes have hydrogenated oils in it! I don't want that anywhere near my skin, head or brain. So I make a hair putty out of beeswax, coconut oil & essential oils. I usually use rosemary, lavender, & tea tree.
You need a double boiler to melt chunks of beeswax with the coconut oil. The ratio of oil to wax depends on how solid or liquidy you want it. The more oil you use, the more liquid it will be. I generally usually use twice as much wax as oil to make for a hard putty that holds the shape of your hair for a long time. Avoid adding more wax than a 2:1 ratio, b/c it will not rub easily into your hair. After it is melted & off the heat is when you add the essential oils. You must stir the mixture until it is cooled significantly enough for the essential oils not to separate. You want a homogenous mixture. This is evidenced by solidification/thickening. To apply: dampen hair, rub putty into hands until smooth (you don't want yellow chunks showing in your hair), and then rub into hair + style it.
Thanks for this recipe, I can't wait to try it. I would love it if you did a post on the cosmetics that you use, and shampoo and conditioner. Thanks for all you do!!
What does it take to remove this from your hair? Would water alone do it? If not, would conditioner? I don't use shampoo anymore, and only use products that rinse out with water. Thanks!
Pam O'Brien
I wonder if this gel would tame the frizzies. I have natuaral wavy/frizzy hair and I would love to be able retire the flat iron (or at least have hairstyle alternatives!). I'll give it a try.
I have curly hair too. 2 drops of almond oil works great. I've also used coconut oil. Have to be careful or it could look too oily with either. But very cheap and no trouble at all.
I have recently been using drrons.com MSM shampoo and MSM condition. It makes hair very soft. But it doesn't help my curls so I still need to add a moisturizer afterward for that. No bad stuff in the shampoo/conditioner.
I have straight hair and need a gel to try and hold curl. Do you have a gel that would work with a curling iron?
i use this and an iron
Mary Ann
My hairdresser from Honduras gave me that tip years ago but I never used it! I'll try it now =)
I have tried plain coconut oil but it just leaves my hair a little greasy, even when I am careful to barely use any.
I have hair like yours, Sarah, and I live in a humid area. So I dealt with both frizzy "big" hair but also hair that would really dry out horribly (I have Hashimoto's which I assumed contributed to that). Several years ago I read a book I got at my library called Curly Girl. She suggests that "curly girls" not use shampoo! I know that sounds jarring, but I was desperate and I stopped using shampoo. I am amazed at the difference. I "wash" my scalp with conditioner, then condition my hair. After a couple of weeks my hair already looked better. It is incredible. I will never go back to shampoo! That was probably 4 or 5 years ago.
I second your rave reviews for the Curly Girl book. ☺
Great recipe. Any suggestions on what to use for a shampoo/hair cleanser?
baking soda in a lil water. say 1Tlb to 1 cup water put in hair rub then raise then cider vingar for conditioning. again about same as above. if really greesy use lemon juice to help get out greese, smae as above. been doing this for over 5m works great.hair will go thro detox so it will look bad for a week or 2. just push thru and ened up with great hair. I could see my scalp before now I can't!!! looks thicker now. i igure there was something in shampoo even the natural on es that was killing my hair.
I don't recommend baking soda, vinegar, or lemon juice on hair. Please research it on online. On YouTube, there's a very informative series done by Kimmaytube called The Structure of Hair. She explains the scientific reasons these substances are really harsh on your hair (has to do with pH levels being drastically different than our hair/skin). It's a great idea to use natural substances as much as possible, but it's also good to remember that even natural substances can cause harm, just like their chemical counterpoints. I'm not trying to be rude or controversial. Just thought you might like to have a heads-up on that (no pun intended).☺
When I saw the caption that said "Natural Hair Gel" I couldn't stop thinking about the movie "Something About Mary." Enough said!
Too funny!
Jenn Jennings
I've found just aloe gel and jojoba oil to be very effective for frizz, and the jojoba adds condition and shine (and it's the closest thing to natural skin sebum there is, so you can also use it for skin too). Just mix the proportions to your taste (very dry hair = more jojoba) and no refrigeration required!
I've been looking for a product for my toddler sons hair for those days when I want to smooth it away from his eyes … So far we use a paste that my husband uses but it's not natural at all. It bothers me. So I wish there was a way to make a hair paste!
Thank you for your recipe for the hair jel- I have short hair and I like it spikey but I've found a recipe for palmade and it works great! +homemade pomade from Organic Authority uses beeswax and jojoba oil as its base. You'll need a mason jar, which you'll place in a double boiler by adding water around the jar until it reaches the middle of the jar. Gently drop in a 1/2 lb of chopped beeswax. Turn up the heat until the water boils, then remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 tbsp jojoba oil. Add in 1 tbsp arrowroot powder, and then stir in a few drops of peppermint oil. Let the mixture cool and then pour it into whatever container you will use to store your pomade.
I am wondering how thick this is when fully cooled? And what is the consitency? Thank you.
Consistency is really viscose, like egg whites. It's runny (thin), but sticks together when you try to pour it. Hope that helps.
Mindy, The Homespun ARTisan
This is AWESOME! My husband has thick, wavy, course hair and we've struggled for years now trying to find something chemical free and DIY that is able to "manage" his hair.
I'm wondering, though. Do you think replacing the flax seeds for chia seeds would do the same thing?
I thought hair was made up of dead skin cells. How much stuff can be absorbed back into the body thru our hair?
it doesnt absorb THROUGH the hair—but in the video Sarah mentions that you sleep with your hair on your pillow, and your face will be in the chemicals that were on your hair. also, when you shower, the water carries those chemicals over your skin. and when the water is hot, your skin absorbs more of the toxins. hope that helps. im sure someone can give more details.
Celestia Shumway
I found this same recipe a few months ago. I find that it is too runny. I am wondering what to add to make it more of a gel. Aloe vera gel? Grass-fed beef gelatin? When I put in my hand, almost half of it runs out through my fingers!
I wonder if you tried with 3/4 c water or 1/2 c water if it would help with making it thicker? Just a curious thought…
boil down after straining. have done this many times
Jamie Wright Bagley
I used to have curly hair but after having three children it is really just wavy now. I used to use hair gel all the time to keep the curls looking nice and frizz-free but I gave up looking for a chemical-free brand.
Needless to say, I am excited about trying this. I don't have any flaxseed but I was wondering if flaxseed meal would work just as well since that's what I have on hand? If so, would I still use 2 Tbsp.?
Jenn Truman
Jamie, you wouldn't be able to strain the meal out. I don't think you want flecks of flax meal in your hair.
I honestly use ground flax seed and you don't even notice, it all comes out when you blow dry it. Saves a lot of time and frustration. I also add one egg white for extra hold – keep in the fridge.
Ellen McLaughlin – van Dijk
Can you also suggest something for thin straight hair ? I need a mousse or something to give my hair body and in order to keep an elastic in (otherwise it slides out).
many thanks,
Yes this is what I also need. I wear my hair short and kind of spiked …and I need a pretty super holding gel….
yup i use too look for my other post below for adding in stuff
ellen – Scunci makes elastics that are flat- and have a stripe of rubber-ish material on the inside. they Don't slide!! I have curly/wavy hair- so I just enjot the flat ones enough- but I have tried the ones with the grip strip- they don't mess around!
Just to be sure, so the flaxseeds are ot ground right?
no, whole seedis used
Sarah, I use to use this recipe, but I got tired of two things: burning my fingers trying to strain the seeds out when it was easiest to do so; and having to keep it across the house in the fridge. Now I dissolve gelatin in 1/2 cup boiling water, add 1/2 cup cold water, add any EOs I want and put half of this in my sprayer. The other half gets refrigerated. With my LONG curly hair, the amount kept in my sprayer is used up before it turns bad (and I get to keep it in the bathroom where I do my hair). Just an alternate recipe for you.
I am interested in how much gelatin is used in your recipe. Although I do not have curly hair it would help me greatly to have some gel to run through my straight hair before styling.
Thanks Sarah for a great recipe. Any idea if chia would work as well as flax?
I wonder if it has to be refrigerated if you added a bit of Vitamin E oil as a preservative?
Will this gel make me as beautiful as the picture?? JK
I can't wait to try this! I have super curly hair, too, and I use a mousse daily to make it look decent. I hope this works – it would not only save me chemicals but also a lot of $. I burn through mousse like crazy!
Thanks for sharing Sarah! I also have curly/wavy hair so I will have to give this a try.
Flax seed gel is so good for curly hair! I've got really dry hair with lots of tiny curls and I love it even without aloe vera added. But I'm definitely going to try this next time
"Introduced" not intruduced. ☺
Thank you so much for sharing this super simple recipe. I stumbled across this while looking for one of your food recipes, and I had to laugh. I was intruduced to your blog by a relative who said I look a lot like you – curly hair and all (except mine is longer). ☺ So, this will be a fun recipe to try. Alyssa, you're not alone in the "my hair without some sort of product is pretty much a disaster." Friends with sleek, straight, tangle-free hair have no concept of what is involved in caring for curly hair. My husband, two of my kids, and I all use hair gel every morning. So if this works well for us, I will be sure and post our results.
I am thrilled! I have curly hair as well and I can't wait to give this a try! I recently did a total overhaul of my bathroom products, but have not had any luck replacing my hair gel yet. My hair without some sort of product is pretty much a disaster! lol But, I don't want to sacrifice my health either!!!
Thanks Sarah for sharing!
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I only started using this a few months ago so I will be interested to see how this natural hair gel holds up with the summer humidity.
I find that a mixture of coconut oil, castor oil and avg work way better to moisturise, define and reduce frizz.
Scant 1/8 teaspoon coconut oil
Couple drops castor oil
3/4 teaspoon aloe vera gel
Mix well and distribute into hair. If this is too much use the rest on your legs, knees, elbows, wherever
This looks easy enough to make. I already make a ton of homemade beauty products for myself. I will try this homemade hair gel soon. Thanks for the recipe.
Stanley Fishman
So many people do not realize how many chemicals and toxins can enter the body from hair and body products.
Thank you Sarah, for providing a safe alternative.
By the way, readers, I have had the pleasure of meeting Sarah in person, at the WAPF conference, and her hair looked great!

Looking at the Codex for wp_insert_post() it states that this function "...sanitizes variables, does some checks, fills in missing variables like date/time, etc. "
Just wondering whether I need to do any further sanitization to prevent XSS hacks and the like or whether enough is being done through the function.
To be honest, I've checked through the function in core and haven't found any wp_kses() or other sanitization on post_content for example, so I'm a little concerned. All I can see that it does is stripslashes_deep() on the data.
So should I be running wp_kses() or anything else when I build my arguments to wp_insert_post()?
What's the best practice here? The Codex is pretty cavalier about security in its example.

* Loans, regulations grant bank status - MoneyGram
* Company's claim to be a bank is "imagination" - IRS
By Patrick Temple-West
WASHINGTON, May 27 MoneyGram International Inc is fighting in U.S. Tax Court to prove it is a bank, a designation the Internal Revenue Service disputed when it blocked $900 million in tax deductions by the world's second-largest money transfer company.
In a case with implications for many financial institutions, especially those hurt by the 2008-2009 credit crisis, the MoneyGram fight centers on tax deductions only banks can claim for worthless assets, such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
Tax lawyers said the case is being watched closely as the definition of what constitutes a bank becomes increasingly murky.
"There is clearly precedential value to other financial institutions that may not be viewed as conventional banks," said Mark Allison, a lawyer with Caplin & Drysdale.
"Given the volume of securities and debt instruments that lost substantial value in the aftermath of the financial crisis, this will continue to be a thorny and difficult issue for taxpayers," Allison said.
A hearing seeking a decision on MoneyGram's bank-or-not-bank question is scheduled for June 6 in Washington.
MoneyGram's problems started in 2007 when U.S. home prices plummeted and the value of the company's MBS started to tank.
The company sold most of its MBS at steep losses in 2008. When reporting its taxes, MoneyGram deducted the MBS as ordinary losses, not capital losses.
Because banks must hold assets against potential loan losses, the tax code allows them to deduct certain worthless securities as ordinary losses. Ordinary investors holding such securities must book worthless securities as capital losses.
In 2012, the IRS disallowed $900 million of MoneyGram's ordinary loss deductions, the company said in regulatory filings. It filed its Tax Court challenge later that year.
The IRS and a spokeswoman for MoneyGram declined to comment.
Dallas-based MoneyGram operates in more than 200 countries as the world's second-largest money-transfer business after Western Union Co.
While admitting that "bank" is not part of its name, MoneyGram is arguing its money orders establish the same "debt-creditor relationship" that banks have with account holders.
In more than 40 states, MoneyGram is regulated by the same authorities that oversee banks, the company said in court filings. These regulators require MoneyGram to hold capital reserves against potential losses.
But the IRS said MoneyGram's claim to be a bank "is entirely tax-driven (and) is nothing more than a tax planner's imagination gone awry," according to court filings.
Citing congressional testimony from company executives in 2006, the IRS argued MoneyGram has never defined itself as a bank.
Additionally, a money order is not a loan, but a sale of goods and services that is the same as "a loaf of whole-grain bread and a gallon of organic milk," the IRS said.
The case is MoneyGram International Inc v Commissioner of Internal Revenue; Docket No. 12231-12, 30309-12. (Editing by Kevin Drawbaugh and Jonathan Oatis)

The senior Erb, at the last Congress of Internal Medicine held at Leipsic, gave an epitome of his observations on this disease since the publication of his long article on the subject in 1898. In his earlier paper he showed the close relation of "intermittent lameness" (intermittierendes Hinken) to arteriosclerotic changes in the vessels of the leg and foot. His more recent studies are of great interest in connection with the etiology of the affection.
Since the disease is a form of arteriosclerosis, the same causes that are held responsible for arteriosclerosis in general may be assumed to play a part in its etiology, but certain peculiar facts seem worthy of emphasis. In the first place the disease is one of the upper classes rather than of the lower; of 45 cases studied by Erb only two were not within his clinic; the rest were private cases. Secondly, it is

Seattle City Light crews and emergency personnel responded to the scene, at 3rd Avenue South and S. Forest Street, at about 5:30 a.m. after receiving a report of an electrical problem.
Arriving at the scene, they found a Rabanco recycling truck had crashed into a power pole there. Among the customers that lost power was the nearby Rabanco Recycling Co. facility.
A Seattle Department of Transportation office also lost power, temporarily affecting its ability to produce travel time estimates for the morning commute.
Also affected was a Seattle Public Schools office building - but there was little impact there because school is not yet in session.
Some traffic lights in the area also were temporarily inoperative.
By 8 a.m. power was being restored to all but about 40 customers as crews re-routed lines around the outage, but power is not expected to be completely restored until about 11:30 a.m.
There was no immediate word on why the truck hit the utility pole.

I remember when I was a little girl about four or five having constant attacks of anxiety thinking that my parents would either abandon me or die leaving me alone and unloved. That fear of abandonment still haunts me and this is a "part of myself I hate". I blogged yesterday about entering this "The 30 Posts of Truth" that I found on Faerie Sage's blog and this is my first post. I was thinking last night about all these things I hate about myself and they all rung true intellectually, but emotionally I didn't connect to any of the ideas. If I'm going to blog about something so intimate, I want to really be able to feel it and connect to all of you authentically. Cathartic? We'll see. Honest? Yes.
It's not like my parents or anyone else in my family intentionally threatened to leave me, I've just always had this fear. I hate to sound like I'm constantly blaming my parents, but I know that the root of this issue started as a baby connecting to my mother. At least that's what my intuition is saying. My mother as I've blogged before was in a really unhappy marriage with my father, exhausted by my two brothers (ages six and eight years older than me) and had resentment because she felt stifled. I had colic as a baby and I know that my mother was too emotionally bankrupt to ease and soothe me the way a baby needs. My father was left to walk me late at night as my mother closed the bedroom door to shut out the noise of my crying.
My oldest brother, Eric told me that sometimes he would just like to look at me in my crib when I was a sleeping. If I started to cry and wake up, my mother would get so angry and yell at Eric for waking me up and make him stay outside of my room listening to me wailing, while at the same time, walking away and leaving me alone to cry in my crib. As I said, she was very unhappy and while parents do the best with what they know of at the time, that doesn't mean that children aren't wounded in the process.
My abandonment issue intensified when I was eleven and while I was away at Summer camp, my parents had separated without telling me. I've blogged about my experience on eWitch. Basically, I came home, found my father had moved out of the house, was told we had to sell the house my mother and I lived in and I had to find another home for my dog "Frodo" who I loved with all of my heart. Frodo, was a Cairn Terrier, the same breed that "Toto" was from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" . I still can't watch that movie without crying. Yep, a tornado struck my house and I was plunged into a world that frightened me and left me feeling adrift.
I'm not going to go into the details of the why's and wherefore's of my parents divorce now, I'll just say how it was handled could have been a little less jarring and emotionally healthier, as much as any divorce can try to be for a child.
So, how does my abandonment issue play out today? Every time I enter a potential romantic relationship I start panicking and get extremely needy which I think is so "ugly". I get this pending doom inside telling me that I'll be left and that my heart will be broken, even without any trigger on my partners part. I also have picked men who "love" me more than I love them resulting in detachment and superficiality on my part. My unconscious belief is that since I'm not as attached to them, I won't feel as hurt when the relationship ends. Insane and destructive, right?
Another arsenal I use is to just not get into a relationship so that no chance of intimacy or hurt can occur. I have a blog friend who is so mistrustful of everyone he meets both on the internet and in his "real world" that he stops any chance of us getting to know each other on a deeper level. It's painful to experience because I used to be as frightened as he is and also I really like him but he just keeps pushing me away. As sad as I am about the situation, I've matured enough not to think something is wrong with me or believe that he'll eventually change.
In the past, I've attached myself to men who couldn't love or appreciate me from the beginning which brings me back to the familiar place of feeling abandoned and alone. Nobody said that our defenses make sense or are healthy, but they originate from a place of
Wounds that we collect as children can eventually heal into being a scar which can bles us with courage and a greater capacity to love if we let it. At least that's been my personal experience. I've been working on this knotted piece of abandonment issue for so many years through therapy, following my spiritual path, and other various salves to ease my pain and make me stronger.
Can I safely say that when I do find a man I'm romantically interested in I won't fall apart from neediness and fear? No. But someone I really admire once told me that really, our fear of abandonment has nothing to do with the other person leaving us, it's more the fear that we'll abandon ourselves. I made a vow to myself a long time ago, that I'll be my own
So, I'm going to change this post from writing about "something I hate about myself" to "writing about a part that needs my attention and compassion." Hate is such an ugly word and action based from fear. I'm tired of being afraid and sabotaging myself when it comes to love.
There you have it folks, I've shared a part of myself that I keep locked deeply in the shadows. It feels kind of good to let you into my world. It's all part of reclaiming and cleansing a wound from long ago.
I'd like to ask you, how are your abandonment issues triggered (because we all have them to some extent) and what do you do about it?
