Almost everyone loves the fresh and invigorating smell of peppermint. It can be found in candies, personal care products, food, and perfumes and home fragrances. Peppermint oil can easily be purchased in most stores where you can find essential oils. Peppermint oil can benefit both hair and scalp, and can offer one of the fastest methods for fixing hair issues instead of purchasing a bottle of regular store-brand conditioner.
Peppermint oil is used all over the world for a variety of hair and skin conditions. With peppermint oil, you're buying a product that contains 100% peppermint essential oil that has been proven to work at healing the conditions that affect hair growth and scalp health.
What Exactly is Peppermint Oil?
You'll find peppermint essential oil within a small glass bottle with twist cap. Inside is a small funnel so you can pour out only a drop or two at a time without spillage. Peppermint oil is sourced from the peppermint plant's green pointed leaves, stems, and stalks. The peppermint plant is called Mentha piperita. The plant grows commonly in Europe, North America, and the Middle East, but can grow almost anywhere today.
The plant is similar to spearmint or water mint. Besides using it for skin and hair remedies, it's also helpful for easing flatulence and other gastric upsets.
Peppermint was first recorded in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. He called it a species, but today it's noted as being a hybrid plant. It's herbaceous and perennial, and can grow up to 90 cm high.
The peppermint leaves are highly fragrant, but when the essential oil has been distilled from the plant, it makes the smell intensely potent. In fact, it's often considered one of the most concentrated essential oils on the market today.
Peppermint oil is extracted from the entire peppermint plant, not just the leaves. It's done before the plant has a chance to flower. Its oil is distilled through a steam process, much like other types of essential oils are.
Peppermint oil contains an ingredient called menthol. Menthol gives it that cooling and refreshing sensation when you eat it, or apply it to your skin or scalp. Menthol is also used in cough drops and cold medications as it can break through the phlegm to soothe a bad cough. Menthol is the main ingredient from peppermint that gives it its healing qualities.
Peppermint oil also contains other compounds such as menthone, menthyl acetate, and limonene. The oil contains natural pesticides, which could make it helpful for treating certain parasites.
During studies, peppermint oil has been proven to have an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties. It also works as an antioxidant, anti-allergenic, and antiviral.
Peppermint oil needs to be mixed with a carrier oil, as it can leave a burning sensation on the skin. You only need to use one or two drops at a time to experience the maximum benefits. It's best to learn how to use peppermint oil correctly in your beauty care regimen, so you can experience the maximum benefits.
What Causes Hair Problems?
There is no single reason why you might start losing your hair. It could be due to age, a bacteria or fungus, or even a health condition such as diabetes or malnutrition. Fungus can also cause dandruff, that leads to itchy dry scalps. Other skin conditions can also affect the scalp, such as eczema or dermatitis. No matter what you may have wrong with your hair or scalp, peppermint essential oil can provide a soothing and healing way to get the natural skin balance back to hair follicles and skin.
How Peppermint Oil Can Benefit Scalp and Hair
Many people are born with luxurious hair, but health and disease can impact your hairs' growth over time. As we age, our hair can also naturally get thinner. Many people may also suffer from itchy or flaky scalps. This condition may be dandruff, or some other skin condition. Dandruff is usually caused by a fungal infection.
The good news is that peppermint oil can help to stimulate hair growth, as it increases the blood circulation around the region it has been applied—in this instance the scalp. The menthol it contains also eradicates the fungus or bacteria that can cause itchy flaking scalps, and restore the nature flora and fauna of your skin.
Peppermint oil is also quite affordable, and doesn't require any expensive trips to the clinic, or medication prescriptions. You can simply treat your condition in the privacy of your home with a special home treatment.
In the past, men have often treated their hair loss with Minoxidil, also known as Rogaine, and Finasteride, with varied effects. Women can also suffer from hair loss due to a change in hormones as they grow older, or from other conditions such as PCOS.
Peppermint oil works much the same as Rogaine does, as it increases blood flow to the hair follicles—formally called follicular dermal papilla cells. Sadly, the prescription medications can cause people to have increased heart rate, breathing difficulties, weight gain, and itchy dry scalp, leaving them to abandon treatments. Fortunately, peppermint oil is a safer and natural way to treat hair loss issues.
Peppermint essential oil is a great tool to have in your medicine cabinet.
How to Use Peppermint Oil to Increase Hair Growth or Treat a Flaky Scalp
The steps to treat your hair or scalp are extremely simple. Collect together the following ingredients.
- Measure out one tablespoon of a carrier oil, such a jojoba or almond oil.
- Pour two drops of peppermint oil into the palms of your hands.
- Mix between the palms of your hands, then apply to the roots of your hair, and the scalp.
- Avoid middle or lower portions of your hair. You must focus on the roots of your hair, or your scalp.
- You should feel a slight tingling. If it bothers you, wash your hair.
- Massage the oil over your scalp for five minutes.
- Leave the mixture on your head for 20 minutes.
- Wash your hair.
- Avoid using any conditioner.
- Repeat treatments every three days. You can use your regular conditioner in-between treatments.
Faster Way to Treat Your Hair and Scalp
Not everyone has extra time in the morning to measure out a carrier oil and peppermint oil, then wait 20 minutes. Here's a faster way to treat your hair with peppermint oil.
- Pour 4 to 6 drops of peppermint oil into one ounce of shampoo or conditioner.
- You may wish to mix up a larger amount so it's in convenient reach.
- Choose one or the other, but not both shampoo and conditioner.
- Wash your hair with the shampoo as normal, or pour conditioner onto your head as normal.
- Massage around scalp for two minutes.
- Rinse off hair thoroughly, being sure that you have removed all traces of the product.
- Repeat once a day.
What Else Can I Use Peppermint Oil for?
Now you know peppermint oil is excellent for speeding up hair growth and soothing any itchy or dry scalp conditions, you can learn that it can also be used for other things related to your face and scalp.
Peppermint oil can also counteract the effects of a tension or sinus headache and a migraine by releasing the muscles that can tighten them up. It's often used in aromatherapy. In order to maximize its use, you can mix a few drops with your favourite carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or jojoba, and rub the oil directly onto your scalp. You also want to massage all regions of your scalp or face that have tension and pain. Common areas are the forehead, and beside the eyes. But avoid getting it near your eye sockets, as it can burn.
Peppermint oil is also a solution for when you're feeling tired, but don't want to drink any more coffee, as it can affect your nightly sleep. Instead, rub your peppermint and carrier oil mixture into your scalp too. You can also sprinkle a few drops of peppermint oil into a small bowl and keep it beside the computer. The fresh scent of the oil will revive you for another hour or two, until you can finish up your work and leave for home.
If you have an itchy scalp but can't figure out the reason, you can apply peppermint oil to your scalp to help soothe and relieve the itch. The oil naturally contains antiseptic properties that will speed up healing of whatever is causing your itch.
If you get acne on your scalp, the peppermint oil will help the sores to heal up, and kill the bacteria that infect your skin's oil glands so you don't get another outburst of pimples.
Peppermint oil is also a natural bug repellent, so you can apply some to your hair, and have it repel ants, mosquitoes, and chiggers when you're outdoors. Inside, it can repel bed bugs and lice.
If you're feel dizzy or nauseous, you can also apply the oil to your scalp or forehead to help clear your mind and make you feel better.
What Types of Carrier Oils Can I Mix with Peppermint Oil?
A carrier oil is also called a base oil, and is used to dilute essential oils, to make them safer for usage. They can be used for massage, direct application, or for aromatherapy.
People who use peppermint oil for hair can have certain preferences for carrier oils. Some people don't like the smell of olive oil or coconut oil, and want some better choices. Some oils may also affect the scent of the peppermint oil. Some oils also absorb better than others.
Generally, you'll add up to four drops of peppermint oil to about one ounce of carrier oil. This makes it safer to use peppermint oil to treat scalp or skin.
Here are a few choices to help get you started.
- Almond oil or Sweet Almond oil
- Jojoba oil
- Virgin or Organic Coconut oil.
- Refined coconut oil — This version is fragrance-free, but if you like the coconut scent, opt for the virgin or organic coconut oil type.
- Apricot oil
- Grape seed oil
- Avocado oil
- Olive oil
- Sesame oil
- Evening primrose oil
- Canola oil
- Vitamin E oil
- Castor oil
- Other cooking oils, such as Walnut oil, Hazelnut oil, or Sunflower oil.
Precautions and Warnings for Using Peppermint Oil on Scalp and Hair
Follow these instructions when using peppermint essential oil to help heal an itchy flaky scalp, or to help improve hair growth.
- Don't use peppermint oil directly out of the bottle as it can cause a burning sensation.
- Even if you've used only a drop and find it extremely irritating, it may be time to discontinue using, as it can cause allergic skin reactions.
- Be sure to use a carrier oil before applying to your hair, or mix it with your shampoo first.
- Store your bottle of peppermint hair oil in a safe spot away from pets or children.
- If you have a serious health condition, such as liver disease, check with your doctor first before trying one of these treatments.
- While using peppermint oil externally is safer than taking it internally, if you take certain prescription medications, you may wish to seek the advice of your doctor first.
- Do not use peppermint oil directly on broken or scabbed skin. It can burn more than normal. If you use it to treat acne, do it as soon as your pimple pops up. You may wish to get a physical done at your doctor's clinic if you experience sudden, rapid, onset hair loss.

11 Reasons + Ways to Make Tea Your Summer Fix
Collaboration Between Tearrific + Antheia Floral + FloralandBows
I live for those tiny moments when you take the first sip of freshly steeped tea and you get that warm tingly feeling inside. Tea is one of those delicious beverages that can quench your thirst at any given time of the day, while being adapted in fun different ways to match the weather or circumstance. There is also always a flavour that conveniently goes perfectly with each season. Ahem, pumpkin chai!
Truth be told, it's a rare thing to see me without a cup of tea in my hand, especially when I am writing. A bold Earl Grey or English Breakfast has the magical power to relax me after a long day and get the creative juices flowing. Needless to say, I have a charcoal teeth-whitener that I use on a regular basis!
However, with it being summer and the hottest Calgary has been in years, drinking a cup of steaming hot tea may not be everyone's idea of refreshing, but an iced tea on the other hand is a whole different story.
Since it's officially patio season, having a pitcher of iced tea on hand at all times is essentially a must, for more reasons than one. Aside from the fact that it is truly scrumptious, tea actually has a variety of health benefits that you can reap the results from in just one cup. Talk about a win win!
I partnered with Tearrific, a loose-leaf tea blender and café, along with Antheia Floral, a local florist, to come up with 11 reasons why you need to hop on the tea bandwagon and to get you inspired when making this refreshing hot weather elixir this summer!
- It's a delicious alternative to water!
Canada's food guide recommends that we drink approximately 1.5 liters of water in a regular day and even more when it's hot out. Now I don't know about you, but with my busy lifestyle and love of coffee, and other beverages, that is a lot of water to consume in one 24-hour period. However, since tea is essentially free of sugar, fat and calories, having a cup or two a day can help you hit that target, while quenching your thirst and keeping you hydrated in the heat of summer!
- Can be a natural and herbal remedy
Aside from providing a ton antioxidants, which is no secret, the individual ingredients that tea is made up of contains various vitamins that are crucial in our daily consumption. Certain teas can also act as a natural, drug free remedy to specific conditions or can at least help reduce symptoms. However, it does not replace the need for prescribed medication.
- Hibiscus: contains a high level of Vitamin C, which works to boost your immune system and lower blood pressure in those people with an elevated one.
- Licorice: has been known to help reduce the symptoms of Vertigo
- Ginger: provides relief to a nauseous stomach – hello hangover cure!
- Chamomile: has been known to also help with an upset stomach, while also successfully treating different sleep disorders.
- Green + White Tea: both tea's contain a ton of antioxidants, which help fight free radicals in your body.
- I HEART Tea
It's a common belief that drinking specifically, black teas can help keep your ticker in a well-maintained condition. Some studies even go as far to say that it helps reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. Now I am no scientist, so don't quote me on this, but hey if drinking a cup or two of tea will allow me to continue to go on awesome adventures then I will gladly cooperate!
- 0 Calorie Cocktail Mix
What I would like to know is where was this info back when I was in University? Imagine all of the pizza's I could have consumed instead! Samantha from Tearrific recommends mixing Gin and Earl Grey together, for a delicious energy booster to get the night started. You can also try mixing a fruity tea with prosecco or sparkling wine for a fun and refreshing summertime cocktail.
If you enjoy a good ol' Pimms Cup, then I recommend trying the 'Summer Daze' tea from Tearrific, as it has been compared to this classic English beverage on more than one occasion. Make this tea iced and add some Pimms for an instant replicate of the original beverage, without the hassle of preparing a ton of ingredients. OR have it sans alcohol for a mocktail that still has the flavour of the real deal!
- Homemade Iced Tea
As I have mentioned, having a batch of cold-brewed tea is an excellent idea to have on hand for when we are in the midst of heat-wave and in need of a thirst quencher. But how does one go about making it? Trust me it's easy, if I can do it so can you!
- Add 4 heaping teaspoons of tea in 1L of water
- You can use an empty mason jar or empty container you have lying around the house
- Refrigerate over night and strain the tea leaves in the morning – if you are not in a rush to drink it.
- If you plan on consuming the day you make the tea steep it in hot water and then pour it over ice when you go to serve the tea – this can also make a stronger tea if that is how you like it.
- Sweet as can BEE
If you do require a bit of sweetener in your tea, honey would probably be your healthiest option, as it is both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, making it good for your stomach and tasty to consume. My honey of choice is a local honey brand called "Drizzle" that you can get at the cutest shop in Bridgeland, Greater Goods, or various other locations throughout the city!
- Picky Tea Drinker?
Are you looking looking for a tea that is high in health benefits, but also has a bit of a caffeine kick for those early mornings? An Oolong tea is the perfect solution! It's a great choice for people who don't particularly enjoy the taste of black or green tea, as it's in the middle on the flavour and oxidization scale.
- Kick that coffee addiction!
We all love coffee, but it's also not always the healthiest option, especially if we are drinking 3 or 4 cups a day – guilty as charged! If you're trying to reduce your caffeine intake, there are a variety of herbal decaffeinated teas out there that are bound to quench your thirst. From spicy to nutty flavours, herbal teas are deemed one of the most flavourful so you will be replacing your cup of joe for something equally if not more tasty.
- Tea Baking
At Tearrific, they sell Brown Butter Oatmeal cookie sandwiches with Chai tea infused Buttecream – YUM! Tea is a great no calorie additive that is super simple to bake with and will give your baked goods the most scrumptious aroma. Head over to the Tearrific blog for some tips on baking with tea!
- Tea-o-licious Popcicles
On a hot summer day, there is nothing better than treating yourself to an iced cold popsicle! I am licking my lips for one of these as I write this article to be honest! To make them, brew a cold batch of your favourite tea and pour it into popsicle molds and freeze – EASY! If you want to add more flavour or mix it up you can always add slices of fruit, mint or other fun ingredients to your pops.
- The more tea you drink the healthier you will be – Truth!
There have been various studies that show drinking tea can help reduce the risk of getting dementia, Alzheimer's, cancer, and other terrible diseases. It also helps to increase your overall health, as it is contributes to your body's daily nutrient and vitamin consumption, while also keeping you hydrated! Now that is definitely a good reason to start drinking tea if you don't already!

What Are Voluntary Actions?
Most people are familliar with voluntary actions--or things that we do on purpose--as well as the rational decision-making that drives those behaviors.
But, the human animal is able to respond using conscious thought (thoughts that we are aware of) as well as subconscious processes (those that we are unaware of).
What can you do without thinking? Turns out a heck of a lot.
Subconscious Actions
Subconscious drives usually come with automatic physical responses, from panic to reflexively closing your eyes when a child's finger is on its way to your cornea.
And sometimes bigger things. Way bigger.
When my friend's son was just over eighteen months old, he began climbing: high and fast. One day, she turned her back for a moment to toss some laundry in a drawer while he sat on the floor behind her, looking at some books. Shirts and pants done, she turned back to the bookcase.
She has no recollection of the next moments, but she was suddenly sitting on the floor, holding him in her arms. She doesn't remember seeing him fall, nor does she recall thinking about catching him, but she did. It was a situation where there was no time for deductive reasoning.
Ever heard a mother say, "I barely have time to think?" Yeah, we're fucking serious.
The Real Meaning of "Intuitive"
Intuition, or the "gut reaction", is one of the mechanisms through which our body tells us how to respond without cognitive thought or logical reasoning. Dr. David Eagleman is a neuroscientist focused on explaining these processes. In his book Incognito, Eagleman notes that subconscious mind is able to process information at faster rates than the conscious mind. In study after study, individuals show elevated sympathetic nervous system arousal well before they should have been able to identify patterns or risks, say during card games1.
In other words, people can feel that something is amiss well before they can think it logically. If you're playing poker with a racing heart, or a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, you might want to tap out until the next ante.
But it's more than risks during cards. Unexplained revulsion during a first date, or the very common experience of discomfort in the presence of sociopaths, is a part of this same process. We have an innate sensitivity to things that we can't consciously recognize. Tiny twinges in facial expressions, a subtle color change in the face of the person across from us, or a sound we aren't even aware that we heard, all have the ability to trigger our anxiety systems. Intuition tells us to respond well before we even understand--if we ever do--what it is we're responding to.
It's like those little hairs on your neck that stand up in alert when someone you haven't yet seen is looking at you. For our ancestors, listening to their gut was more a way of life. If the dude looking at you was a tiger, you couldn't wait until you saw him to bolt. Once you locked eyes, it was already too late.
Mothers especially have much to gain through intuitive processes, particularly because of the higher costs associated with pregnancy and childrearing, This may be one reason that our sensitivity to minute details is more developed than men. Instinctively knowing which care providers were safe for our children, or which mate was better for us, would have been a great advantage at any point in history. If nothing else, it's a huge time saver, just like that little tingle in the back of your brain that tells you when your eight-year-old--or your husband--is lying.
This intuitive process, and its ability to detect threats, may trigger physical responses besides a racing heart or an internal "knowing". Those automatic, subconscious stress responses may also lead to automatic, reflexive action, say when you have to catch a child who has decided to scale a bookshelf like a cracked-out spider monkey.
Today, we are often led to believe that intuition doesn't exist at all. But your body isn't broken. It is uniquely and innately capable of threat detection on levels we are taught to ignore.
Listen to yourself, even if the tiny voice you hear just tells you to embrace dark chocolate. Maybe especially then.

Josh Brolin's pie-baking scene with Kate Winslet in "Labor Day" is apt to stand alongside the pottery-wheel sequence in "Ghost" as the gooiest, sloppiest and sexiest cinematic example of a sex scene pretending to be something else entirely.
At least, that's the early reaction from festival viewers who've seen the sequence in Jason Reitman's film, in which Brolin – who plays an escaped murderer who takes Kate Winslet and her son hostage, but then proves to be a pretty handy man around the house and in the kitchen – teaches his captives how to roll out pastry dough with the utmost sensitivity, and how to mix wet 'n' chunky peach filling with sensual delight.
Audiences will get to see the scene when "Labor Day" opens on Christmas Day – and when they do, director Reitman told TheWrap, they'll be watching a sequence whose sensibility was honed not by watching Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore at the pottery wheel in "Ghost," but by helping Burger King sell hamburgers.

"Shooting that scene reminded me of shooting commercials," he said. "The first commercial I ever did was for Burger King, and the guy from Burger King came to me on the first day and said, 'Look, Jason, you may have the take of your life – the lighting may be pristine, the actors may be pitch-perfect, the camera may move exactly as you like. But if the Whopper don't look good, we're going again.'
"That was the only thing he said to me all day, and that was the best commercial advice I ever could have gotten: 'If the Whopper don't look good, we're going again.' And this scene was back to that. It was all about the pie."
Apparently, it was all about the pie for Brolin as well. "He would make pies for everybody," said Reitman. "At first it was really charming – you'd think, 'Oh my gosh, Josh made me a pie.' And by the end of the shoot it was, 'Oh f—, here comes Josh with another pie. Everybody run.'"

Added Kate Winslet, the recipient of many Brolin pies, "I still have his pie dish in my kitchen in England. He would say, 'I'm going to bake you a pie,' and I would say, 'Oh Josh, thank you, that would be lovely.' Two weeks later: 'Hey, I need that dish back, I'm going to bake you a pie.' 'Oh, OK.' And this f—ing dish would go back and forth, until in the end I was like, 'You know what? You've got to stop with the pies now.'
"But I am going to give Josh some big-time credit here. We had a pie-baking workshop with ["Labor Day" novelist] Joyce Maynard, who was very specific about the pies. And Josh was very nervous, you know? He's a guy, he's got big meat hook hands. He doesn't belong in a kitchen at all. He belongs with a steak in front of him, not with pastry in his hands. But he was absolutely determined that he was going to drive that scene when we shot it, that he was not going to require a hand double of any kind, that he was going to bake those goddamn things.
"And he really got brilliant at baking pies. We tasted Joyce Maynard's pie after our pie-baking workshop, and I have got to tell you that Josh's pies were better."
She laughed. "It is quite an interesting thing to talk about, isn't it? It's like, Brand from 'The Goonies' baked me a pie. I do quite like that."
There's a quick shot of the pie scene at about the 1:30 mark in this trailer:

Here's what I received in my JOIK Advent Calendar* days 8-14:
Day 8:
A scented sachet in Vanilla Noisette which has a rich vanilla scent with carmel notes (almost smells good enough to eat). Put it in your car, cupboards or drawer. I like the idea of getting slightly different things in a calendar (I'm looking forward to the upcoming candle!)
Day 9:
I absolutely adore Silky Facial Serum with Cranberry Seed Oil (we've got a 10ml rollerball in the calendar). My skin's really enjoying it - expect a full review soon.
Day 10:
This Luxurious Citrus Bath Milk 30gr unfortunately opened in transit and cast a fine powder over most items in the calendar (which is a shame). It would have been better if the little pot had a seal on it. Apart from that, it smells glorious and I'm looking forward to testing it out.
Day 11:
We got a 50ml Micellar Water on day 11 which I'm slightly on the fence about - I've tried it once so far and found it stung around my eye area. Will give it another try before passing it on.
Day 12:
This Citrus & Bergamot Body Butter 50ml isn't available at Love Lula. It smells gorgeous and I'm looking forward to using it.
Day 13:
Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub 15ml is also a new try for me. Some of the other girls who also got the calendar have been raving about it - so I'm looking forward to trying. Again, a review will follow.
Day 14:
Today's pick was Juicy Apple Shower Foam 50ml which again I'm looking forward to using.
Full reviews will be forthcoming once I have the chance to test everything out. Did you pick up a JOIK Advent Calendar? (I noticed last night they've been reduced to £85.60 so if you fancy one I'd say...be quick!)
*Love Lula Accredited Blogger points paid for part of the calendar. I added £57

I was so, so honored to have a shower thrown in my honor by my amazing friend Amanda this past weekend. As with most things related to a second (or third) baby, I didn't want anything too crazy, including a big baby shower. We really don't need much this time around in terms of baby stuff (although I say that and my to-buy list is surprisingly long!) and I just wanted a party where I could catch up and chat with my closest girlfriends. It was perfect.
I don't have a ton of photos since I am so terrible about picking up my camera during a party, but Amanda took some of most of me and my guests so I wanted to share.
{A cold January morning was perfect for a fire.}
{Brunch an a hot chocolate bar! Plus, aren't the trees absolutely amazing outside the dining room windows?}
{Little tags for guests to write wishes for Baby Lower. This is so special and I can't wait to compile them.}
And onto some pictures with guests (and I am so sorry if you left before we could get a photo!). It means so much to me that each of these women came out to celebrate Baby Lower.
{Me and Sara.}
{Me and some of my PEPS mama friends – Leslie, Shannon, and Heather.}
{Me and Kyrsten. Not pictured is her adorably squishy newborn daughter!}
{Me, Jess, and our bumps. Jess is about 10 weeks behind me and we are so excited to be having these babies so close together!}
{Me and my mama. The best Grammie ever!}
{Me and Amanda, the best hostess.}
{Chatting, or something.}
{We were all a little obsessed with the littlest shower guest!}
Thank you Amanda for such a perfectly wonderful morning. I know Baby Lower is going to be so loved and supported by some of the best women around!
Amanda also threw me a shower the first time around which you can see here!
And for those that have inquired, my jumper is Hatch Collection (though no longer available but there are others here) and is so, so comfy; I am obsessed! And my pin is Chanel (see more here) that I picked up when Aaron and I were in Paris almost six (SIX!) years ago.
Happy Shower Baby Foot!

(OAKBROOK TERRACE, Illinois, October 19, 2017) – After hospitalization for acute medical illness, one in four Medicare patients is discharged to a skilled nursing facility (SNF). These care transitions are often marked by disruptions in care and poor communication. A new study in the November issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety examines hospital and SNF perspectives on these patient care transitions.
In the study "Care Transitions Between Hospitals and Skilled Nursing Facilities: Perspectives of Sending and Receiving Providers"—reported by Meredith Campbell Britton, LMSW, research associate, and Sarwat Chaudhry, MD, principal investigator, Yale Center for Healthcare Innovation, Redesign and Learning (CHIRAL), New Haven, Connecticut—qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 hospital providers and 16 SNF providers at three facilities regarding patient transfers and experiences with unplanned hospital readmissions.
The participants cited challenges with managing increased patient care complexity, identifying an optimal care setting, managing rising financial pressures and overcoming barriers to effective communication. They also identified issues that separate hospital and SNF providers, including SNFs' reduced physician presence, lower nurse-to-patient ratios, and limited access to pharmacy and equipment services.
Future interventions, the authors note, "should focus on enhancing communication between clinicians, promoting provider understanding of post-acute care and developing strategic opportunities to align facilities."
Open access is available to the care transitions article. Also featured in the November 2017 issue:

FLY FISHING FOR SHARKS by Andrew Alexander
This book is an honest account of a young man's battle with obsessive-compulsive disorder and with depression.
Andrew Alexander grew up in Zimbabwe, and was educated at various times in South Africa, so the story is largely set in these two countries. His symptoms first appear in high school when he develops an obssessive need to check some aspects of his homework. Various other obsessions emerge, most especially around HIV, which makes him fear infection from even the most unlikely objects, and around driving, when he begins to fear that he has unknowingly hurt someone with his car.
The stress of moving to Cape Town for university triggers a major episode, and he is finally able to tell his family and get some psychiatric help. OCD is not an easy disease to treat, and he does not seem to get the very best of medical assistance. He eventually feels well enough to move to the UK, but the stress of London is too much for him and triggers another episode. He eventually develops depression, along with his OCD, and attempts suicide twice.
The author's breakdown occurs within the context of the breakdown of Zimbabwe, and thus the book is also an interesting window into a certain historical and political moment. As with most middle class Zimbabweans of his generation he has lived in at least three countries, and thus the book has an easy cosmopolitanism. It is also, despite its serious subject matter, often very funny. One feels very intimate with the author, who clearly has thought deeply about himself and his world, and is at pains to share his knowledge with you as honestly as he can. The path to self-knowledge is a long and painful one, whatever your mental health status, and Alexander has clearly gone a good deal further down it than most.

Mmmmmm! I love it when the suffering tell their story. As Bob Marley said 'who feels it knows it more'. Thanks for this.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a really important book as mental illness is so often overlooked. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Yes, one of the difficulties the author faces is the limited understanding people have about mental health issues.ReplyDelete
Love the Marley, Nana!
This looks like an interesting book, Sarah! I love the title - I was discussing about fly-fishing with one of my friends recently and I am thinking of how sharks can do fly-fishing - makes me think! I loved your last line - "The path to self-knowledge is a long and painful one, whatever your mental health status, and Alexander has clearly gone a good deal further down it than most."ReplyDelete

Facts about the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Process for the Hudson River
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a natural resource damage assessment?
Several federal statutes authorize federal and state officials to act on behalf of the public to restore natural resources affected by releases of oil and other hazardous materials. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), parties responsible for contaminating the environment and causing injury to natural resources are also liable for natural resource damages (or compensation), which are to be used to restore the injured resources. The natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) process involves determining the nature and extent of injury to the public's natural resources in order to restore them to the state they would have been in but for the release of hazardous materials. Through the NRDA process, the public is compensated for the losses they suffer as a result of the contamination. Monies recovered as a result of an NRDA must be used to restore either the injured natural resources themselves or the services provided by the natural resources. For example, if recreational fishing is injured, recovered damages must be used both to restore the fishery itself and to restore the recreational use of the fish. Only designated state and federal trustees are authorized to pursue damages for injury to natural resources from hazardous material releases.
2. Who are the Natural Resource Trustees for the Hudson River?
The Hudson River Trustees are the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the United States Department of the Interior (DOI). In September 1997, a Trustee Council was formed to develop and coordinate state and federal damage assessment activities and to plan for the restoration of the River's resources.
3. What have the Trustees done so far?
In October of 1997 , the Trustees released the Preassessment Screen Determination for the Hudson River, New York. This document, known more simply as the PAS, is an overview of readily available information that describes major contaminants in and potential injuries to the River and its environment. The review ensures that there is a reasonable probability of making a successful claim for damages before money is expended to plan or conduct a more elaborate NRDA. The release of the PAS indicates that the Trustees have determined that it is appropriate to undertake an NRDA of the Hudson River.
4. What will the Trustees be doing next?
The next step will be the development of a Natural Resource Damages Assessment Plan for the Hudson River (consistent with the USDOI Natural Resource Damage Assessment regulations at 43 CFR Part 11). The Assessment Plan will describe studies the Trustees will undertake to assess natural resource injuries and to evaluate and support appropriate restoration options for the Hudson River environment. To develop the NRDA Plan the Trustees must first establish its scope, i.e., determine which injuries, resources and public uses should be examined in the damage assessment. The Trustees will be seeking input from the public at this stage.
The Trustees anticipate that 12 months will be needed for completion of the NRDA Plan. A Draft NRDA Plan will be offered for formal public review and comments will be used to develop the Final NRDA Plan. The assessment will be pursued when the Final NRDA Plan is complete.
5. How can I get involved?
The Trustees will actively solicit public input throughout the damage assessment and restoration process. Notices on the availability of information and the opportunity for public input will be posted on NYSDEC's Web page and through other media (e.g., New York and NOAA postings). Those who would like to be added to the Hudson River Damage Assessment mailing list should notify the NYSDEC contact listed below.
6. Why is the public being given an opportunity to comment on the NRDA Plan before it is written?
The Trustees would like to give all concerned parties ample opportunity for participation in the NRDA. Federal NRDA regulations describe a need for public participation and mandate a minimum level (see 43 CFR Part 11, 11.32 and 11.90). The Trustees want to capitalize on the considerable knowledge of the responsible parties and the interested public and also want to consider public perspectives on the relative importance of injuries and services.

9. How do the Trustees' restoration planning efforts relate to EPA's remedial activities?
Remediation describes cleanup activities at hazardous waste sites designed to reduce or eliminate significant risks to human health, welfare or the environment posed by contamination of the environment. Restoration in the context of NRDA is actions to restore, replace or acquire the equivalent of natural resources that are lost or harmed by such contamination. Remediation reduces environmental risks but does not restore any of the natural resource losses.
NRD restorations can be of two types, either primary or compensatory. Primary restoration is intended to replace resources that have been lost. Compensatory restoration is designed to compensate for the losses of these resources and the services they provide from the time they are injured until they are restored.
The EPA is performing a study of the Hudson River PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) Superfund site to reassess their 1984 decision to not remediate contaminated sediments at the site. The Hudson River PCB Superfund site includes approximately 200 miles of the Hudson River between Hudson Falls and the Battery in New York City. This Reassessment will determine how and to what extent PCB-contaminated sediments in the Upper Hudson River will be remediated.
The Trustees are coordinating their restoration efforts closely with EPA's ongoing Reassessment. The Hudson River NRDA Plan cannot be fully implemented until remediation is complete; some of the studies can be performed in the near future, others will have to wait until the success of remedial efforts can be measured.
Note: For additional information about EPA's Reassessment, see EPA's Hudson River PCB Reassessment RI/FS web site (www.epa.gov./r02earth/superfun/hudson.htm)
10. Why is the process of cleaning up the Hudson taking so long?
The Hudson River is a large and very complex system, and a detailed assessment of the contamination in the River requires extensive scientific study. EPA's Reassessment, which began in 1990, is being performed in three phases. Phase 1 included the collection of existing data on the Hudson River from a wide variety of sources and placing that data into single database. Analysis of that data uncovered significant data gaps to be filled by additional data collected in Phase 2 of the Reassessment. Phase 2 (which is currently being performed by EPA) consists of field sampling and analysis, computer modeling and human and ecological risk assessment. Data generated during Phase 2 will fill previously existing data gaps in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the contaminated sediments in the Upper Hudson and the impact of those sediments on the site. Phase 3, in which EPA will evaluate possible remedial alternatives for the site, will be conducted after Phase 2 is complete. EPA presently expects to make a remedial decision for the site in late 2001.
11. Will the Trustees dredge the River if EPA doesn't?
The Final NRDA Plan will include an evaluation of possible restoration options for the River. At present, the Trustees expect to evaluate dredging as one option among many when they reach that phase of the assessment. This evaluation will take into account the results of EPA's Reassessment and their remedial decision, which is expected in 2001. The scope of EPA's remedy will affect the Trustees' restoration decisions because a more extensive remedy will be likely to restore natural resources more quickly than a less comprehensive cleanup. As with all other aspects of the NRD process, the Trustees will seek public input prior to implementing any restoration plans.

Hi everyone!! I have a layout to share with you. I rarely scrap myself. Shoot, I'm hardly ever in any of the photos since I'm always behind the camera. But as time goes on, I'm starting to see the importance of being present in those everyday moments. I know that my kids and family will appreciate all of their layouts when they are older, but I'm sure they want to know about me as well. It's time for us mom's, caregivers, nurturers to be given the spotlight as well.
I made this layout of me, on my birthday just a few days ago. I used the beautiful new Bella! range called Rustic Charm. I love black, pink and mint- such a beautiful color combo.
I used the Bella! Florals to embellish as well as the Dimensional Stickers pack.
Here is another close-up.
Supplies used:
Thanks for stopping by!! Happy scrapping and Be inspired!

Meehan said the show has been on hold while he's been busy with Bombay Dreams, the Broadway show for which he contributed libretto work. Following its opening on April 29, the two will meet and begin work anew. The writers have been laboring on the script since early 2003. Susan Stroman, who piloted The Producers, will also direct the new collaboration, according to past reports.
The film starred Gene Wilder as a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein who goes to Eastern Europe and takes up his ancestor's hobbies, and Peter Boyle as the monster he creates. It was one of Brooks' most successful comedies, and, to many film critics, his most consistent and polished work. The movie, a parody of the classic horror films of the 1930s, was made in black and white and featured a famously hilarious scene in which the Frankenstein monster is presented to the public in top hat and tails, performing Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz." Just as the stage version of The Producers kept the song "Springtime for Hitler" from the original film, one imagines this number would be retained in any legitimate adaptation (if the Berlin estate OKs it).
Among the story's other characters are the doctor's fiancee (played in the movie by Madeline Kahn), who goes from a prissy virgin to a rapacious vixen with a Bride of Frankenstein hairdo—a role for which Kristin Chenoweth is reportedly being sought; a comical hunchback (Marty Feldman), who insists on being called "Eye-gor"; a comely fräulein the doctor takes as his mistress (Teri Garr); Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman), a woman so frightening the mention of her name causes horses to rear up; and the rabble-rousing, speech-mangling Police Inspector Hans Wilhelm Friederich Kemp (Kenneth Mars).

What is Really Wrong with Government
page: 3 of 4
How Private Power Becomes Public Power
There are a number of troubling ways that private power is being turned into public power. Typically it involves large amounts of money. Money is the handiest and most versatile form of power because it can buy so many different forms of political influence. It can buy advantages for political candidates, fund massive lobbying efforts, and produce volumes of politically useful information and analysis. Let's consider each of these things in turn.
Financing Campaigns. Winning office today requires a lot of money, so campaign contributions now play a very crucial role in the election process. For instance, contributions help determine who can run for office in the first place. As the APSA report explains: "To win a seat in national office, the incumbent and challenger usually have to win the support of funders before they go before voters. The effect can be to discourage certain kinds of challengers who, for instance, promote egalitarian policies that would redistribute resources from affluent campaign contributors."9 In other words, candidates who don't support the priorities of wealthy contributors often can't amass the resources necessary to make a viable run for office.
More importantly, donations can buy candidates many advantages – like larger campaign staffs, more high-priced consultants, more media time, and better ads – in their pursuit of voter support. Candidates with more money simply have a much better chance of attracting voters and beating their opponents. Contributions to campaigns, then, are an extremely important form of political influence – they play a significant role in determining who wins office. But this influence is wielded disproportionately by affluent individuals and organizations.
For instance, the campaign donations of political action committees come primarily from organizations that are financially well-off. Corporate and industry trade PACS now far outnumber and out-donate all other interest groups. In the 2008 elections, for instance, these business-oriented PACs outnumbered Labor PACs by almost ten to one and outspent them by four to one – $321 million to $73 million.10 Or consider the uphill battle faced by grassroots interest groups like environmentalists. In 2008, environmental PACs contributed $811,000 to various races. But the PACs for several industries that often fight against increased environmental regulations (energy and natural resources, construction, chemical, and automotive) contributed 50 times that amount -- $40 million.11 It's not hard to guess which groups are more able to help elect their preferred candidates.
This corporate dominance of campaign funding was made even worse by a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that overturned the longstanding ban on corporations spending directly on political campaigns. They are now able to spend as much money as they want to defeat candidates they oppose and to threaten elected officials who don't share their political priorities.
Supporters of our current financing system like to point out that many contributions come from individuals – not PACs or corporations. This seems to suggest that it is the average American voter who is financing most campaigns. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There is a huge class bias to these donations. In 2002, 83% of all the itemized donations to campaigns were given by less than one-half of one percent of the U.S. population. And almost three-fourths of these total donations ($1.9 billion) came from a relatively small group of well-off Americans who could afford to donate $2,300 or more.12 This is not public participation – this is rich people's participation.
Recently, some have argued that the emergence of groups like MoveOn.org has signaled a switch to a more grassroots and democratic approach to funding campaigns. And in 2008, that organization did manage to raise $38 million through the use of the internet and local meetings. But in reality, this figure is a drop in the bucket compared to the $2.2 billion spent by campaigns that year.
So campaign finance is a perfect example of how the concentration of money in the private sector leads to imbalances of power in the public sector. This situation directly undermines the democratic nature of elections. Who gets elected should be determined by the voters, not by well-heeled donors whose contributions give their preferred candidates large and unfair advantages over others. Wealthy individuals and organizations should not have more say over who get elected than the rest of us.
These skewed donations not only affect whose candidates win office, but the behavior of political parties as well. The Democratic and Republican parties are supposed to be rivals that represent very different constituencies. But both have become increasing dependent on wealthy donors and business PACs. This has pushed the Democratic Party farther to the right and has made it less responsive to many of its less affluent constituents, such as workers, minorities, and the poor. Not only elections, but parties are becoming less democratic as well.
Lobbying. Another major source of political influence is lobbying – organized efforts to sway the decisions of policymakers. Lobbying largely determines whose problems and concerns get the attention of policymakers, and whose arguments get a better hearing. In the last thirty years, more and more groups have established lobbying offices in Washington – groups representing environmentalists, gays, the elderly, farmers, consumers, and so on. This gives the appearance of a fair and healthy competition between all interests. But this is only an illusion.
First, not all lobbying organizations are born equal, and the competition between them does not take place on a level playing field. Again, money is what makes the difference. Some lobbies have much larger and more reliable sources of funds, and this tilts this political process in favor of these more wealthy interests. Interests with more money can, for instance, create more lobbying groups to promote their cause. It is hardly a coincidence that the majority of organizations lobbying in Washington, D.C. are corporations. Many these firms also enjoy multiple avenues of representation. Most businesses, for instance, belong to trade groups who also lobby in Washington. General Electric belongs to over 80 trade organizations – most of which also have lobbying arms. If you add together all the corporations, trade groups, and well-off professional organizations (doctors, lawyers, etc.), they make up over a staggering 75% of all lobbying efforts. In contrast, public interest organizations like environmentalists, consumer groups, and civic organizations make up only 4% of lobbying groups. Even more stunning, if you add together unions, civil rights groups, the elderly, women, educational groups, farmers, and veterans, they make up less than 10% of lobbying efforts.13
Not only does more money fund more lobbying efforts, it also pays for larger offices with more staff and better support. More money also buys more effective and more expensive lobbyists – particularly retired members of Congress who are still friendly with their former colleagues on the hill. Money also makes is easier from some lobbyists to get direct access to policymakers. Members of Congress are very busy and can't see everyone who knocks on their door. But lobbyists with direct access to policymakers have a much better ability to make their case. Studies show that who gets in and how much time they get is often directly related to the size of their campaign contributions.14
Given all this, it is little wonder that two of our leading scholars on interest groups activity, Kay Schlozman and John Tierney, have concluded that the lobbying process "is skewed in favor of groups representing the well-off, especially business, and against groups favoring broad public interests and the disadvantaged."15

MANILA, PHILIPPINES--(Marketwired - May 31, 2017) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO) (FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) ("Mindoro" or the "Company") today announced the filing of the Company's First Quarter 2017 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Details of the Company's financial results are contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis, which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
Overview for The Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
Agata Mining Ventures Inc. ("AMVI")
Agata Mining Ventures Inc. ("AMVI"), a company held by Mindoro's Philippine subsidiary, MRL Nickel Philippines, Inc. and TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. ("TVIRD") as operator under a joint venture agreement, recorded sales of $5,356,000 and a net loss of $639,000 for the period ending March 31, 2017. Mindoro recorded $255,000 loss with respect to the 40% interest MRL Nickel Philippines, Inc. holds in the Agata nickel laterite project. The joint venture agreements require that at least 50% of AMVI's unrestricted retained earnings be distributed to shareholders as dividends on a quarterly basis. As at March 31, 2017, AMVI had accumulated losses of $2,737,000. Therefore, no dividends have been declared.
AMVI commenced operations in October 2014 and has completed 102 shipments of nickel laterite DSO as at the end of March 2017. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, additional 6 shipments with a total of 321,280 wet metric tonnes were shipped in April.
On September 27, 2016, AMVI has been listed among 20 mining firms "recommended for suspension" in an announcement made by Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"). The announcement was the result of a nationwide audit of 41 metallic mines which called for the assessment of all mining companies on the basis of laws related to mine environmental management, safety and health, social development, mining tenement and compliance with the Clean Air, Clean Water, Hazardous Waste and Solid Waste Acts. AMVI submitted proof of compliance on the alleged infractions and on February 2, 2017, AMVI received its confirmation that it has passed the DENR audit. AMVI, together with eleven other mining companies, were allowed to continue, several firms were ordered to close, while some were still under suspension.

Hi, I used your park and highly appreciate the work you put in. I just wanted to ask would if it would be ever possible for the design and implementation of a completely flat undercover multipurpose area. My whole group would use something like that if we had access and so many other groups. I made a whole petition without much hope. https://www.change.org/p/br...

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
A portion of Palin's image, which puts gunsights on 20 Congressional districts, and names the Democrats who represent them. [Source: Sarah Palin / Huffington Post]Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK), a Fox News contributor and generally accepted leader of the far-right Tea Party movement, posts an image on her Facebook page that depicts gunsights (crosshairs) on 20 Congressional districts and lists the Democrats who currently represent them. The image reads: "20 House Democrats from districts we [Republicans] carried in 2008 voted for the health care bill.… IT'S TIME WE TAKE A STAND. Let's take back the 20 together!" The liberal Huffington Post calls Palin's image and rhetoric "decidely militant." Conservative commentator Elizabeth Hasselback calls the use of gunsight imagery "despicable," saying: "I think the way some Republicans are handling this is nothing more than purely despicable. The names that are next to and being highlighted by those crosshairs—I think it's an abuse of the Second Amendment. I also feel as though every single person on here is a mother, a father, a friend, a brother, a sister, and to take it to this level is—it's disappointing to see this come from the party, and I would hope that leaders like Sarah Palin would end this." The image lists the 20 Democrats by name (noting that three are not running for re-election, and marking their districts in red): Vic Snyder (D-AR, retiring) Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ) Harry Mitchell (D-AZ) Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) John Salazar (D-CO) Betsy Markey (D-CO) Allen Boyd (D-FL) Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL) Brad Ellsworth (D-IN, retiring) Baron Hill (D-IN) Earl Pomeroy (D-AL) Charlie Wilson (D-OH) John Boccieri (D-OH) Kathy Dahlkemper (D-PA) Christopher Carney (D-PA) John Spratt (D-SC) Bart Gordon (D-TN, retiring) Thomas Perriello (D-VA) Alan Mollohan (D-WV) Nick Rahall (D-WV) [Huffington Post, 3/24/2010; Huffington Post, 3/26/2010] After one of the listed Democrats, Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), is shot in the head by an apparent assassin in January 2011, Palin's staff will remove the image from Palin's Facebook page and issue the claim that the gunsights were actually intended to represent surveyor's marks. However, Palin herself will call the gunsights "bullseyes" that "target[ed]" her opponents. After the November 2010 election, when all but two on the list have either retired or been defeated, Palin will post on Twitter: "Remember months ago 'bullseye' icon used 2 target the 20 Obamacare-lovin' incumbent seats? We won 18 out of 20 (90% success rate;T'aint bad)." Washington Post reporter Glenn Kessler will write: "[I]t's silly for her aides to claim she did not intend these to be gunsights. They can defend it, or apologize, but they shouldn't pretend otherwise." [Tammy Bruce, 1/8/2011; Washington Post, 1/11/2011]
