Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
My cousin has curly hair 3a hair & I have 3b & her hair grows fast?
she leaves her hair with no products in it and she has natural oils and I have dry hair but I want it to grow fast how do I do that?
3 Answers
It could be a matter of nutrition. Your hair is programmed to grow about 1/2" per month, but only if you're properly nourished, so make sure you're eating well and getting lots of vitamins!
Also keep in mind that the looser the curl pattern is, the "faster" it seems to grow since it has less spirals to make
you should use leave in conditioner and natural oils and a moisturizer. I have 3a and my sis has 3b hair. We use the same hair products.
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!

Banish Brain Fog
Raise your hand if you're in a perpetual state of brain fog
*2,345,678,457 hands shoot straight up.
Jokes, Jokes. All 10 of you who visit my blog are probably raising your hands though and you my friends are who I'm writing this for.
If you constantly lose your keys, mind and what words to say next don't blame yourself mamma, blame it on your gut!
Not that I'm passing out free passes to get out of that responsibility but brain fog aka loss of mental clarity, difficulty concentrating and day to day forgetfulness are all tall tale signs that your gut isn't getting the love it needs.
Inflammation in your body is to blame, in particular, your digestive tract and it creates more issues than Vogue.
You read that right Vogue. Actually I meant to say to "That's right: brain fog isn't caused by your brain but by your gut!"
Slowed cognitive function is more closely related to conditions such as leaky gut, candida and bacterial dysbiosis. The short and thick is bacterial dysbiosis just means your bodies good to bad bacteria ratio is tilting heavy to the dark side.
What is the Gut-Brain Axis?
The gut-brain axis (GBA), or gut-brain connection, explains the link between the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain and intestinal function and gut microbiome.
Your gut and brain communicate through the VIVA LAS VAGUS nerve. More commonly known as just the Vagus Nerve by boring more professional people.
Viva Las Vagus
Your "second brain", the gut doesn't do a lot of complex thinking like arithmetic or a witty response to your latest crush but it does get on with the essential daily grind involved in digesting your food. Lots of mixing, contracting and absorbing, breaking down food and extracting all the vital nutrients and vitamin that do the body good.
Your brain has a trillion little neurons firing off while your gut has a million of the same neurons.
And all those neurons lining our digestive system allow it to keep in close contact with the brain in your skull, via the Viva Las Vagus nerves we talked about earlier, which often influence our emotional state.
For instance when we experience "butterflies in the stomach", this really is the brain in the stomach talking to the brain in your head. As we get nervous or scared, blood gets diverted from our gut to our muscles and this is the stomach's way of throwing up its protest signs.
How to Banish Brain Fog?
Now that we've covered the #Science let's get into how we open up the lines of communication for a clear, fog free brain.
The 5 steps to healing
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Remove foods that are causing inflammation, like breads, peanuts, vegetable oils such as soybean, safflower, sunflower and canola oil. Factory farmed meats, deep fried foods and chemically filled foods such as margarine.
Replace with foods that are anti-inflammatory like fruit, vegetables, sea vegetables and leafy greens. Stick to grass-fed meats which are also anti-inflammatory, as well as most nuts (peanuts are NOT nuts), seeds and wild caught, fatty fish such as salmon.
Repair leaky gut. Your body might have brain fog because of food allergies and sensitivities you acquired because your gut sprung a leak. While repairing your leaky gut remove these foods. If you want to banish them for good purchase The Delicious Detox Gut Refresh for a meal plan and strategy on how to remove, replace, repair, rebuild and rebalance your gut!
Rebuild your body that might be a little damaged. Eat high quality protein, collagen and drink that bone broth! Here's a delicious, gut healing DIY broth I love. It also is a two in one because you make shredded chicken that you can add later to say a Coconut Thai Soup. Intake lots of antioxidants because your antioxidant stores might be depleted from a long standing relationship with poor digestion. The oxidative stress from free radicals can also lead to brain fog. Antioxidants neutralize those free radicals from doing more damage helping to clear up some of that brain fog. Also taking a digestive enzyme to replenish the ones your body may have used up!
Rebalance your microbiome. Move your gut back from the dark side by incorporating a probiotic! In my humble yet professional opinion, I dare say this is the MOST IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENT! Our good guys have been blasted from antibiotics from our doctor, milk man and butcher because America is adding those into what feels like EVERYTHING! We're popping birth control, NSAIDs and maybe a xanax here and there and that is damaging our world inside our guts. Taking a probiotic daily helps recoup the damage done.
Essential Oils for Banishing Brain Fog
A few other things that help my mental clarity are essential oils, snake oil as my husband calls them. I've become a HUGE FAN of essential oils since my snake oil making husband brought them home. They have endless combinations, the ability to manipulate your mood into being one you want and they smell AMAZING!
Here are the top essential oil recruits for banishing brain fog
Tangerine: Promotes bliss, soothes the central and sympathetic nervous systems.
Sage: helps to improve memory and insight. Stimulates the brain helping you to focus.
Rosemary: Supports memory and mental exhaustion. Shown to improve speed on cognitive tasks. This may mean you'll be an expert mathematician and it also might not.
Peppermint: Helps to alleviate tension headaches and stimulate the mind to enhance focus. Peppermint is also fabulous for digestion. I use calm essential essentials, which has peppermint as one of the oils for a quick tummy ache fix. It's applied directly to the abs in a circular motion to increase digestion.
Supplements for Banishing Brain Fog
B Vitamins: B vitamins are da bomb for increasing energy, banishing brain fog and giving you that boost you need. I love this liquid B12!
Vitamin D: Making sure you get Vitamin D through diet and supplementation is a great way to preserve brain health. You can get it from the sun but best do it early in the morning before its at its peak to avoid sun damage. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin which means it's activated by fats like avocado or olive oil. I use this liquid Vitamin D.
Omega-3: Your brain is primarily made up of fat. This is why that fad of low-fat and fat free diets made everybody so hangry. Omega-3's decrease inflammation and improve the number of neural connections in your brain. Inflammation is pretty much the root of all evil. Supplementing an Omega-3 can be a game changer for your brain. I love this brand as well as this liquid brand.
Bacopa: The herbal "Adderall" of its generation. This ayurvedic herb has been used for centuries to enhance memory.
With soooo much distraction it's even more important to make your brain is in tip top shape. Implementing these life HACKS can make a HUGE difference on your mood, mental clarity and even your quality of sleep.
What do you do to Banish Brain Fog?
I've been running my brain ragged lately. Creating all the recipes for The Delicious Detox Gut Refresh, writing up all the science and making it have a little sass and making it not so sciency you fall asleep, while also planning photo shoots and collaboration has me in brain overdrive. Currently I'm typing this up at midnight while my husband is adorably snoring in the next room with Atreyu and 5 lb dog who snores even louder.
I realize that another great tip for mental focus is focusing on one thing at a time. I've had to turn off all notifications and then put on this silly app that grows a tree for the amount of time you set it. This means if you open your phone, you kill your tree. It sounds elementary but you guys it totally works for me. It helps me focus on one task at hand.
Thanks for hopping over to Chanelle Cozette and until next time,
I love your guts!

Here we will present you 11 reasons why you ought to add beetroot into your daily routine.
Lowers your blood pressure levels
Beetroot is an excellent source of nitrates, which helps to broaden the arteries and lower pulse. According to the specialists, the intake of around 500 grams of beetroot constantly can regulate circulation in only six hours.
Reduces "bad" cholesterol and prevents plaque formation
Thanks to the containment of the soluble fibers, flavanoids and betacyanin it gives additional effects in cell reinforcement. It reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and prevent it from storing on the walls of the artery. This is a way of securing the heart from potential heart attacks and stroke.

Its potent to supply the body with folic acid, which is crucial for pregnant women and unborn children on the grounds, makes it to be very popular for this group of population. It is the best for the unborn kid's spinal cord, and can secure the child from spine bifida. In addition, beetroot offers mums to boost their energy.

People can satisfy their sweet desire by adding a little beetroot in their eating routine, which can be of great importance for individuals experiencing diabetes. The beetroot has the ability to discharge sugars gradually into the blood, which makes it medium glycaemic record vegetable. Having that ability it helps in keeping up your glucose levels low. Furthermore, as this vegetable is low in calories and fat-free it can be a perfect vegetable for diabetics.

However, that is not only the myth, because its containment of a considerable measure of iron aides in the arrangement of haemagglutinin, which supports the transport of the oxygen and supplements to different parts of the body. So, this ability of beetroot is due to the iron substance and not the color that helps treat weakness.
Helps relieving fatigue
According to the study of the American Diabetics association, the beetroot helps support a man's vitality. This happens due to the nitrate content, which helps the arteries in the best possible transportation of oxygen to different parts of the body, increasing a man's vitality. Another hypothesis was that the high amount of iron helps in enhancing a man's stamina.

Among the people beetroot is known as a 'natural Viagra'. This comes from many prehistoric traditions, where it has been usually utilized as a part of various to support for the sexual well-being. Its effects are seen in enlarging the veins, and expanding blood stream to the genitals, due to the rich wellspring of nitrates in beetroot.
Additional variable in this context is that beetroot contains a great amount of boron, which is crucial for the generation of the human sex hormone.
Protects you from cancer
Thanks to the betacyanin contained in beetroot, it has another vital capacity to help decelerating the development of tumors by 12.5 percent in patients with breast and prostate cancer. This capacity should be used not only for treating tumors, but also as a preventive measure.

by Loni Wise Certified Reiki Master
As the world of Holistic and Natural healing become more mainstream, crystals are one of the more talked about tools for this type of healing and energetic work. There are many different kinds of crystals and stones being used such as Lapis, Jasper, Amethyst, and Obsidian to name a few. Quartz is another crystal that is one of the most popular and easily introduced in the world of crystals and stones. Quartz comes in many different forms and colors, each having their own significance and vibrational healing use.
- Clear quartz is known as the "master healer" and resonates with an amplification of thought and intention. Quartz helps the energy of the crown Chakra and holds the energy of the four elements of earth, fire, air, water.
Clear in its color, quartz holds a multi-dimensional appearance that remains very attractive to the eye. Quartz show windows and doors that open to the discovery of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual possibilities. Often these crystals are seen with grooves or lines on the outside that speak to the ability of revealing hidden stories or thought processes to be released.
This crystal can ward of negative energies of all kinds, including electromagnetic smog. It brings balance and helps to revitalize your being on all levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and ethereal). It has been referred to as the deep soul cleanser as it can absorb, store, release and regulate energies.
Quartz can be used to clear or charge other crystals you might have. This is a great stone that is versatile enough to be placed with other stones for the purpose of raising the healing vibrations of the intention you are working to clear.
- Rose quartz is a soft pink color with vibrations of inner peace, offering a gentle vibration of love to open the heart and dissipate negative energies.
Although pink in color, rose quartz is associated to the heart Chakra and the elements earth and water. This stone resonates to purifying the hearts energy on all levels while promoting self-love, love for others, reassurance, unconditional love to name a few.
Its physical influences show as balancing the physical heart and circulatory system. Rose Quarts can support healing of lung and chest ailments and is a good mental and emotional support for those going through intense medical treatments. There is a resonance of protection for miscarriage for mother and baby as well as assistance with bonding.
- Smokey quartz holds many shades in the realms of brown, grey, and black, with resonance to the elements of earth and air. This crystal provides a flow of centering and grounding that can be used as protection from physical and psychic attacks, transforming the energy into positive light.
This stone is wonderful for any detoxification process you are working with as it prompts the release of what is not serving your highest being on all levels. It can be used for headaches, backaches and muscle spasms.
Smokey quartz dissolves fears and aids in the release of anxiety and stress while promoting the flow of positivity. It is a stone you can place under your pillow to banish nightmares.
When choosing a stone or crystal for yourself you can purchase online, however I highly recommend you find a local shop where you can go in and handle or feel the crystals before you buy them. When you go to choose your crystals, first rub your hands together a few times with the intention of cleansing your energy and bringing awareness and presence front and center. Then pick up the crystal or stone and hold it in one hand while cupping the other hand over it. This encloses the energetic vibration of the crystal to your hands without outer influence. Notice how you feel in your body and see what thoughts come up for you. If this feels like the right one, go with your gut. Be sure to cleanse the stones and crystals with running water or by using a cleansing herb such as sage or sweet grass.
There is no right or wrong with what you feel and connect to when using these crystals. Remember to honor yourself and your intuition when it comes to what you choose as your spiritual and healing tools. Also remember to HAVE FUN on your journey!

Conclusion and Contact Information
If you enjoyed this weeks episode, and would like to get in contact with Donna, then you can do so with any of the following contact methods.
So you've pulled your sweaters out of mothballs and found your mittens at the bottom of the coat closet. But what about your house -- is it prepared for the cold months ahead? You'll be a lot less comfortable in the coming months if you haven't girded Home Sweet Home for Old Man Winter.
With the help of several experts, we've boiled down your autumn to-do list to 10 easy tips:1. Clean Those Gutters
Once the leaves fall, remove them and other debris from your home's gutters -- by hand, by scraper or spatula, and finally by a good hose rinse -- so that winter's rain and melting snow can drain. Clogged drains can form ice dams, in which water backs up, freezes and causes water to seep into the house, the Insurance Information Institute says. As you're hosing out your gutters, look for leaks and misaligned pipes. Also, make sure the downspouts are carrying water away from the house's foundation, where it could cause flooding or other water damage.
"The rule of thumb is that water should be at least 10 feet away from the house," says Michael Broili, the director of the Well Home Program for the
2. Block Those Leaks
One of the best ways to winterize your home is to simply block obvious leaks around your house, both inside and out, experts say. The average American home has leaks that amount to a nine-square-foot hole in the wall, according to EarthWorks Group.
First, find the leaks: On a breezy day, walk around inside holding a lit incense stick to the most common drafty areas: recessed lighting, window and door frames, electrical outlets.
Then, buy door sweeps to close spaces under exterior doors, and caulk or apply tacky rope caulk to those drafty spots, says
Outside, seal leaks with weather-resistant caulk. For brick areas, use masonry sealer, which will better stand up to freezing and thawing. "Even if it's a small crack, it's worth sealing up," Lipford says. "It also discourages any insects from entering your home."
3. Insulate Yourself
"Another thing that does cost a little money -- but boy, you do get the money back quick -- is adding insulation to the existing insulation in the attic," says Lipford. "Regardless of the climate conditions you live in, in the (U.S.) you need a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in your attic."
Don't clutter your brain with R-values or measuring tape, though. Here's Lipford's rule of thumb on whether you need to add insulation: "If you go into the attic and you can see the ceiling joists you know you don't have enough, because a ceiling joist is at most 10 or 11 inches."
A related tip: If you're layering insulation atop other insulation, don't use the kind that has "kraft face" finish (i.e., a paper backing). It acts as a vapor barrier, Lipford explains, and therefore can cause moisture problems in the insulation.
4. Check The Furnace
First, turn your furnace on now, to make sure it's even working, before the coldest weather descends. A strong, odd, short-lasting smell is natural when firing up the furnace in the autumn; simply open windows to dissipate it. But if the smell lasts a long time, shut down the furnace and call a professional.
It's a good idea to have furnaces cleaned and tuned annually. Costs will often run about $100-$125. An inspector should do the following, among other things:
Throughout the winter you should change the furnace filters regularly (check them monthly). A dirty filter impedes air flow, reduces efficiency and could even cause a fire in an extreme case. Toss out the dirty fiberglass filters; reusable electrostatic or electronic filters can be washed.
5. Get Your Ducts in a Row
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a home with central heating can lose up to 60% of its heated air before that air reaches the vents if ductwork is not well-connected and insulated, or if it must travel through unheated spaces. That's a huge amount of wasted money, not to mention a chilly house.
Ducts aren't always easy to see, but you can often find them exposed in the attic, the basement and crawlspaces. Repair places where pipes are pinched, which impedes flow of heated air to the house, and fix gaps with a metal-backed tape (duct tape actually doesn't stand up to the job over time).
Ducts also should be vacuumed once every few years, to clean out the abundant dust, animal hair and other gunk that can gather in them and cause respiratory problems.
6. Face Your Windows
Now, of course, is the time to take down the window screens and put up storm windows, which provide an extra layer of protection and warmth for the home. Storm windows are particularly helpful if you have old, single-pane glass windows. But if you don't have storm windows, and your windows are leaky or drafty, "They need to be updated to a more efficient window," says Lipford.
Of course, windows are pricey. Budget to replace them a few at a time, and in the meantime, buy a window insulator kit, Lipford and Broili recommend. Basically, the kit is plastic sheeting that's affixed to a windows interior with double-stick tape. A hair dryer is then used to shrink-wrap the sheeting onto the window. (It can be removed in the spring.) "It's temporary and it's not pretty, but it's inexpensive (about $4 a window) and it's extremely effective," says Lipford.
7. Don't Forget The Chimney
Ideally, spring is the time to think about your chimney, because "chimney sweeps are going crazy right now, as you might have guessed," says Ashley Eldridge, director of education for the Chimney Safety Institute of America.
That said, don't put off your chimney needs before using your fireplace, Eldridge advises. "A common myth is that a chimney needs to be swept every year," says Eldridge. Not true. But a chimney should at least be inspected before use each year, he adds. "I've seen tennis balls and ducks in chimneys," he says.
Ask for a Level 1 inspection, in which the professional examines the readily accessible portions of the chimney, Eldridge says. "Most certified chimney sweeps include a Level 1 service with a sweep," he adds.
Woodstoves are a different beast, however, cautions Eldridge. They should be swept more than once a year. A general rule of thumb is that a cleaning should be performed for every ¼ inch of creosote, "anywhere that it's found." Why? "If it's ash, then it's primarily lye -- the same stuff that was once used to make soap, and it's very acidic." It can cause mortar and the metal damper to rot, Eldridge says.
Another tip: Buy a protective cap for your chimney, with a screen, advises Eldridge. "It's probably the single easiest protection" because it keeps out foreign objects (birds, tennis balls) as well as rain that can mix with the ash and eat away at the fireplace's walls. He advises buying based on durability, not appearance.
One other reminder: To keep out cold air, fireplace owners should keep their chimney's damper closed when the fireplace isn't in use. And for the same reason, woodstove owners should have glass doors on their stoves, and keep them closed when the stove isn't in use.

8. Reverse That Fan
"Reversing your ceiling fan is a small tip that people don't often think of," says Lipford. By reversing its direction from the summer operation, the fan will push warm air downward and force it to recirculate, keeping you more comfortable. (Here's how you know the fan is ready for winter: As you look up, the blades should be turning clockwise, says Lipford.)
9. Wrap Those Pipes
A burst pipe caused by a winter freeze is a nightmare. Prevent it before Jack Frost sets his grip: Before freezing nights hit, make certain that the water to your hose bibs is shut off inside your house (via a turnoff valve), and that the lines are drained, says Broili. In climes such as Portland, Ore., or Seattle, where freezing nights aren't commonplace, you can install Styrofoam cups with a screw attachment to help insulate spigots, says Broili.
Next, go looking for other pipes that aren't insulated, or that pass through unheated spaces -- pipes that run through crawlspaces, basements or garages. Wrap them with pre-molded foam rubber sleeves or fiberglass insulation, available at hardware stores. If you're really worried about a pipe freezing, you can first wrap it with heating tape, which is basically an electrical cord that emits heat.
10. Finally, Check Those Alarms
This is a great time to check the operation -- and change the batteries -- on your home's smoke detectors. Detectors should be replaced every 10 years, fire officials say. Test them -- older ones in particular -- with a small bit of actual smoke, and not just by pressing the "test" button. Check to see that your fire extinguisher is still where it should be, and still works.
Also, invest in a carbon-monoxide detector; every home should have at least one.

Planet Sun is proud to be New Jersey's finest tanning salon chain where you can always expect a friendly welcome, a customized experience not to mention realize the most gorgeous suntan ever! In regards to sports in the seaside resort, your very best bet is to watch your home team play on the displays at various Ocean City hotels or restaurants. The boardwalk shops answer all your shopping quests and desires, which are within walking distance of many Ocean City resorts.
Tans get you in fast and you don't feel pressured out the door as I have had in other salons. It is quite clean, and to be honest that gets more points in my own book afterward a nicely adorned salon. It was so bad, that I'm requesting that you remove your positive posting on yelp regarding the salon. I never anticipate these salons to be quite professional to begin with considering how inexpensive they are, but I do expect them to be comparatively safe.
I have to admit, this place does offer really low-cost services, but you definitely pay for this. I came here for a tanning session (quite inexpensive) about a week ago. That is a pervading belief in our culture that the tan connotes health, affluence and maybe even beauty. A regular message from the sector is that the tan offers protection against sunburn. If you're contemplating attempting sunless tanning pills, don't, according to medical experts at the Mayo Clinic.
The best part about sunless tanning is that it really is a safe choice to sunbathing so long as you keep the products from your eyes, nose and mouth. In case you 're seeking a way to acquire a sun kissed glow without subjecting your skin to harmful UV rays, sunless tanning products are the strategy to use. The first thing you should do when considering these products will be to realize how they work and how you should employ them. Any physician will tell you that getting sunshine is great for your health.
You should put on sunscreen if you plan to be in sunlight for 20 minutes or more. A tan, whether you get it on the beach, in a bed, or through related exposure, is bad news, any manner you acquire it. Suntans are due to dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning lamps, and if you have one, you've endured skin cell damage. For the real facts about the dangers of tanning and how you can get a bronzed glow without risking your health, read the tanning advice underneath.
When you stop by, we'll explain how our tanning systems function and how you can get the finest results based on your specific complexion and tanning demand. Suntan is actually an outstanding bull, regrettably he died and we've very small semen. We get you theresources you must make great choices about your sunshine exposure methods. If you have any kind of issues relating to where in addition to how to utilize Spray Tan Tips, you can email us with our own page. For years, Glenna Kohl pursued a suntan, both in the sun and in tanning beds — which new research shows are much deadlier than once thought.
To keep that copper luminescence, Glenna reserved time at tanning salons. Sun Tan offers great customer service and good beds at a low price without a contract!

text: Today we're talking about when we are so contracted by very real things like chronic illness, chronic pain, or PTSD and we can't reach a state of gratitude, or relief, and certainly not joy. Instead, we are coping with responses of our nervous systems and our physiology that feel much more akin to being trapped in a hell realm. These are the dimensions of reality where we can't get any perspective, we don't remember how to meet basic needs, and we spin and deal with quite a lot of suffering on top of the suffering of the illness or of the situation itself. We get into how to survive and work with these states. They are very painful and disorienting, and there are ways to open up some workability even when you are in the midst of one.

Here's your stay-fit agenda
It's time to add 'good health' to your New Year resolutions and say goodbye to the flab. We get some expert help and advice on how t lose weight the fastest and the healthiest way.health-and-fitness Updated: Jan 04, 2011 15:18 IST
It's time to add 'good health' to your New Year resolutions and say goodbye to the flab. We get some expert help and advice on how t lose weight the fastest and the healthiest way.
Dr Shobha Sehgal, VLCC Healthcare says, "Don't be in a hurry to lose weight. What went fast will come back faster. You put on weight slowly so reduce it slowly as well, by reducing 20 per cent of the total calories recommended."
Here are some pointers that will help you lose weight in the most effective way:
The diet diaries
* Don't keep weighting yourself frequently and feel joyous or sad. Measure your body fat once a month to see the real results.
* Eat a low-fat diet, but
don't omit fat from your diet completely. Your diet should provide 15 per cent of the calories from the fat. Avoid cookies, baked foods and chips as they are higher in fats.
* Avoid all fad diets. Instead, eat a variety of foods that provides you with all the essential nutrients.
* Don't skip meals. Instead, eat four to five small meals in a day.
* Take high-fibre food (30 to 50 gm a day). High fibre foods add bulk to your diet and are disease preventors. They also slow down the process, helps keep your insulin level steady and also promote the use of food for energy rather than for deposition as body fat.
* Try taking toned milk products. You can eat egg white (boiled or poached) and avoid egg yolk.
* Include plenty of green leafy vegetables, salads, low calorie snacks and drinks liquid food such as, clear vegetable soup, lemon water, tomato juice, tender coconut water, thin buttermilk, etc.
* Avoid high calorie fruits like mango, banana, chiku, grapes, pineapple, custard apple. You can eat apple, watermelon, musk melon, pear, papaya, guava, orange, and mausambi.
* All vegetables except potato, arbi, yam, lotus stem are low in calorie and can be consumed in plenty.
* Eat moderate amounts of whole grain cereals such as chapati, rice and pulses.
* Do not use more than 2-3 tsp of oil in your cooking. It's enough for tasty food.
* You need to avoid all high calorie foods like sweets, desserts, chocolates, dry fruits, namkeens, red meat, fruit juices, carbonated drinks and fried foods like samosa, vada pav and pakodi.
You can eat out occasionally but take care not to consume rich food. Go for salads, tandoori roti, raitas, fresh fruits
and fresh limejuice.

Grandma Gifts
Boyfriend and me (I'm hiding a Mint Julep behind his back)
My grandma was pretty chairbound tor the last 15 or so years of her life, but she always wanted to buy us presents regardless, so every time I went down to see her she would hand me a stack of catalogues she'd gotten in the mail and tell me to pick something out. I hated this task because it always made me feel greedy or something, so I never wanted to pick anything too expensive but at the same time, hey, it was a chance for some new digs. She ordered me this white shirt from Eddie Bauer before she moved to the nursing home, so maybe 2006 or 2007. I don't wear it often, because I'm terrified of keeping white things white, but when I do I think about her and her generosity and how much she loved her family.

Wildflowers Drive Me Wild
Went back to see more of the wildflowers this morning and the big patches of everlastings are just so wonderfully entrancing i had to blip them again.
I've put a few other lovely things in the extra's. A banksia flower which hasn't opened yet showing its amazing fractal pattern, a strange and fascinating prickly thing, a cheeky rainbow lorikeet, more everlastings and a beautiful and luscious red Sturt pea.
It was a beautiful day, really sunny and in the end i was overdressed and got quite hot! I'd forgotten how nice it felt to warm up a bit and had to strip off a couple of layers, ah spring is on its way at last ;o)
J was invited to the new Perth Stadium to see a football match and as he has been dying to get in there he was happy to miss a day with me again ;o). We'll catch up next week and do our normal things.

This week's favourite quote rocked me pretty hard as I was driving to Toronto for work. I like to listen to a lot of audio books while I commute. It's a great way to use that time in a productive and growth-inducing way. One of the books I'm listening to right now is called "The Way We're Working Isn't Working" by Tony Schwartz (President & CEO of The Energy Project). Here it is...ready?
"We cannot expect growth or improvement - in an dimension of our lives - without intentionally and regularly challenging our current capacity."
Amazing, right!?
For me, this came at a great time. It's a clear reminder that I need to be continuously challenging myself to grow in positive ways and to be better than I was the day before.

[from The Original Covenanter, Vol. ii, No. 5, March 1878, pp. 231-242.]
North Union, house of H. M. Hartzell, Butler Co., Pa., August 26th, 1878, 9 o'clock, A. M. According to adjournment the Reformed Presbytery met and was constituted with prayer by the Moderator. The members present were Messrs. John McAuley, James Fisher Fulton and David Steele, ministers; with Messrs. Robert Clyde, James Campbell and David A. Renfrew, ruling elders.
D. Steele was continued Moderator and J. F. Fulton appointed Clerk. The days of Thanksgiving and Fasting had been observed by all the congregations. Mr. Fulton reported that he had fulfilled his appointment in North Union congregation, and that the call was made upon Rev. John McAuley.
The committee on covenanting reported in past. The report was approved and the committee continued.
A petition from some persons in the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny was presented, asking an organization under the care of the Reformed Presbytery. This paper was accompanied by other documents presented to the court by three commissioners, who appeared on behalf of the petitioners.[1] The prayer of the petitioners was granted. A verbal petition for supplies from Rochester, New York, was granted, and any minister of the Presbytery was authorized to supply there when requested by our people.
A rumor having been circulated in North Union congregation and elsewhere, prejudicial to the public cause, and specially injurious to one of the ruling elders; the Session referred the whole matter to Presbytery for advice, investigation, or final action. The court appointed D. Steele, R. Clyde and J. Campbell, a committee of investigation, to receive documentary and oral testimony and report the result.
Court had a recess till 2 o'clock, P. M.
The time of recess having expired the Presbytery was called to order, when the committee on the aforesaid rumor reported as follows:—Your committee find the rumor affecting the character of a member of North Union Session to be, that when he married his present wife,[2] "she had then two living husbands: that during her residence in the state of Kansas, and in the absence of her former husband, she had deserted her own children, cohabited with two or three men, giving birth to a child and left said state in company with a strange man." Your committee while aware that to prove a negative is often difficult; yet having before them official documents from the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, Ohio, are satisfied that the lady's former husband had been dead more than eight months previous to her second marriage: and by both documentary and verbal testimony are convinced, that all the other statements are wholly groundless—especially confuted by a letter from her former pastor.—Com. This report was adopted with perfect unanimity.
Messrs. Steel and Campbell were appointed a committee to republish "A Short Vindication," &c., with such revision and additions as they shall judge necessary, provided the funds for that object can be obtained.
It was resolved that the next meeting of Presbytery, as to time and place, be at the call of Moderator.
The commission appointed last year reported:—That not finding the petitioners in Des Moines Co., Iowa, in a condition to be organized as a congregation, they admitted eight persons on examination into fellowship, and in one instance administered baptism. These things were done on the 31st of August, 1877, and the first Sabbath of September. On the 17th of September, the Commission installed Rev. John McAuley in the congregation of North Union, Butler Co., Pa. The report was accepted and adopted. D. Steele reported that he had supplied the people in Rochester, New York, during the whole of last June, dispensing the Lord's supper. Approved, and the commission discharged.
Steele, Fulton, and Renfrew were appointed a Commission to attend to any business which may come regularly before them until next meeting of Presbytery. McAuley and Clyde were appointed to prepare a paper on the Signs of the Times. They reported as follows:—
When we, as a Presbytery, would call the congregations and people under our care to unite with us in solemn fasting and humiliation, we should come into the presence of the Almighty with the deepest self-abasement, crying "unclean! Unclean!"—confessing and forsaking our sins, as did Joshua, David, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and others. Joshua said: "Israel—all Israel—have sinned;" not excepting himself: though he did not cooperate with Achan or approve of his deeds; and he said, "They have also transgressed my covenant." Chap. 1:11. And David says, "We have sinned with our fathers!"—all of us. Ps. 106:6. And he not only condemns himself, but justifies God. Ps. 51:4. Daniel says, "Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him." 9:11. Ezra says, "O, my God! I am ashamed, and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens." 9:6. Again, he complains that "the holy seed have mingled with the people of the lands; yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass." v. 2. Nehemiah says, "Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened to thy commandments, and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them, … for they have not served thee in their kingdom." Neh. 9:31-35.
From these and similar passages we learn who the sinners are, whose sins we ought to confess. (1) All Israel taken as a unit—the whole church "have transgressed thy law." Dan. 9:34. (2) All the representatives of the nations, their kings, princes, priests and fathers: the king, or supreme ruler, representing all the constituent parts of the nations; the princes, representing civil society; the priests, ecclesiastical society; and the fathers, the families. And, inasmuch as the king represents the family, the state and the church, when he sins as their representative, they all sin in him and become guilty, and must be punished for his sin, as the people were for the sin of David in numbering the people. "And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote his people, and said: Lo! I have sinned and have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done?" 2 Sam. 24:17. But if the king sin, and violate his coronation oath, then, so long as the people refuse to take proper means to reform their king, his sin and perfidy continue to be theirs, and they must suffer for the sin of their king. And if the king cannot be reformed, then it is the duty of the people to protest against the sin and covenant-breaking of the king, and decline his authority; because, in violating his coronation oath or covenant, he forfeited his right to reign over them; for the stipulations of this covenant contain the conditions on which they consented that he should be their king. And when the supreme church court cannot be reformed, it is the duty of the people, and subordinate church courts, to protest against their defection and decline their authority. And in both cases this must be done regardless of all consequences; because it is better to incur the displeasure of both Church and State, than to incur that of the Head of the Church.
But, on the other hand, if a citizen presumptuously sin against God and the law of the land, and the authorities neglect to punish him for his sin and rebellion, then his sin becomes their's, and his rebellion their rebellion; and God will punish them for their sin and rebellion, because they did not punish the sinner and rebel. So God punished Eli's house for the sins of his sons; "because they made themselves vile, and he restrained them not." 1 Sam. 3:13.
And so it is one of the crying sins of the day, that the great masses of pretended professors unite with so-called churches, not only that will not be reformed, but that are making rapid progress in apostacy from God; and they greatly aggravate their sin by remaining and cooperating with them. "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." And when "the blind lead the blind, both fall into the ditch." Such have not only mingled themselves with the people of those lands, but have refused to "separate themselves from all strangers." When the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of these abominations, the faithful cannot receive such to their fellowship and communion; because they would thus be "mingling with the heathen and learning their works." An irreconcilable backslider is to be treated as a heathen and a publican, whether his sins may be called great or small; though there would be no sin laid to his charge but that of separating from his faithful church, and mingling with a so-called orderly and orthodox church. Such are often a greater snare to the faithful than the heathen man and publican. People are often carried away with the name of order and orthodoxy.
Another great sin and snare in our days, is joining in affinity with the heathen—with those who have no faith, a spurious faith, or a disorderly practice. This is a relationship by affinity in contra-distinction from that of blood. In the days of Noah, this relationship of affinity between the sons of God and the daughters of men was prohibited. The Spirit of the Lord, by the preaching of Noah, strove against this monstrous relationship before the flood, and is still striving against it in the faithful preaching of the Word. This is a monstrous affinity, because it is an alliance formed between the sons of God and the daughters of men—between the children of the kingdom and the children of the wicked one; between the saints of the Most High and the children of this world. When the Jews took for themselves and their sons the daughters of the Canaanites, the Hittites and others, concerning this Ezra says (9:14): "Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples of these abominations, wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? And Moses says: "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them; neither shalt thou make marriages with them; for they will turn away thy son from following me… So will the anger of the Lord be kindled against thee, and destroy thee suddenly." Deut. 7:2, 3.
Paul says, "Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" 2 Cor. 6:14. To have fellowship with such is to have fellowship with disorder and rebellion—is to have fellowship with unrighteousness, not with righteousness—is to have communion with darkness—not with light—is to have concord with Belial, not with Christ—is to have part with infidels not with believers: and to have agreement with such is to have agreement with idols, not with the temple of God. and then it follows—"therefore come out from among them and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you;" but I will not receive you, unless you do come out from among them and be separate; and so long as you touch the unclean, I will not touch you: I will not be your Father, and ye shall not be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor. 6:14-18.
But what are some of the sins of kings, princes, priests and people, in this and other lands? First, "Mingling themselves with the people of the lands"—with those that are unsound in faith or in practice, or with the disorderly and rebellious. Ezra 9:2. "For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the princes and rulers have been chief in this trespass."
Second, refusing to separate themselves from "all strangers." Those that will not separate themselves from all strangers, as they did in the days of Nehemiah, "cannot stand and confess their sins and the iniquities of their fathers," Neh. 9:2. Those who will not separate themselves from all strangers and foreigners, cannot be visibly fellow-citizens with the saints and of the household of God, and are not visibly built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets. Such are not visibly God's building in Christ, fitly framed together, and visibly growing into a holy temple in the Lord; such are not visibly in Christ, builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit. No, they are visibly inhabitants of the outer court, and Gentiles in the flesh, not in the spirit; and are not prepared for the exercise of faith, or for confessing their own sins or the iniquities of their fathers:" Neh. 9:2. All strangers and foreigners, and those who will not separate from such are presently prepared to cover—not to confess and forsake their own sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
Third, a third sin of the kings, princes, priests, fathers and people of our day is, that "they do not serve God in their kingdoms." All the above named parties are bound to serve God in their kingdom." The kingdom belongs to the people—the saints of the Most High, before it does to the king; and the saints of the Most High serve God in their own kingdom before the King does. The saints of the Most High first serve God in their kingdom, in framing a righteous constitution and laws.
Fourth, in electing and crowning him king, whom the Lord has chosen: "Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee whom the Lord thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee, and not a stranger which is not thy brother." Deut. 17:15. Under God, "the people of the saints of the Most High" have a covenant right to set up, and for just causes, to put down or depose kings. This right belongs not to any but to the saints of the Most High. Daniel saw the little horn making war with the saints, and prevailing against them, until the ancient of days came and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. The people of the saints of the Most High have a right to set up as king none but one of themselves—"one from among thy brethren, and not a stranger which is not thy brother." "And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me; for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me?" Jer. 30:21. Finally, it is one of the leading causes of fasting and humiliation, that the great masses of the professed followers of Christ in our land and in others, cannot understand the doctrine that the saints of the Most high are qualified to be ministers of God, and that they alone have a right to sustain this relation to God, and to the nations of the world. "O! send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead us;" and thus open our eyes and the eyes of the people; and turn us from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God, that we may receive forgiveness of sin and inheritance among them that are sanctified through faith which is in Christ."
When we would humble ourselves before God on account of the multitude, the magnitude and the aggravations of our sins, and of the sins (we do not say of our nation,) but for the sins of the nation in which we live; on account of the sins of its rulers, and on account of the sins of all other nations; yet, we must not forget to give thanks to Almighty God on account of His grace, mercy, and truth, manifested in choosing us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before Him, in love; that he hath made Him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him; that he hath given us an unction from the Holy One that we might know all things; that He hath given us His good Spirit to instruct us, and to purify our hearts by faith; that He hath given unto us a dispensation of word and ordinances, and has made the same effectual, in gathering in and saving a remnant which shall obtain mercy of the Lord to be faithful. That in His good providence He is giving us food and raiment, and bestowing upon us abundance. Again, in his kind providence, he is giving peace to the land in which we live, and he is thus "granting unto us that we, being delivered out of the hands of our enemies, may serve him without fear, in holiness and in righteousness before him, all the days of our life." But while we cannot acknowledge the nation as our nation, because they will not have God as the only true God, and their God; yet we acknowledge that it is our duty to "seek the peace as the land in which we live… and to pray unto the Lord for it, for in the peace thereof we shall have peace." We will endeavor to seek the peace of the land by way of preaching the Word faithfully to it, as God gives us opportunity. We will endeavour to show the people what the Word teaches; that it says, "The wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up men and dirt. There is no peace saith my God to the wicked." Is. 57:21.
1. In seeking the peace of the nation we will teach them to "depart from evil, do good, seek peace, and pursue it." Ps. 34:14. 2. In seeking the peace of the nation, we will faithfully preach the Word, which is in its very nature, "peace on earth and goodwill to men;" and which says, "Great peace have they who love thy law." And we will teach them that they can never have any true and lasting peace until they obtain peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the only ground on which we can have peace in our own conscience, or peace with our fellow man.
Finally, while we would lament that there are so few to lift up a standard in behalf of truth and against the abounding of iniquity, yet we would rejoice that the Head of the Church has put it into the hearts of some to ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward; saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. Jer. 50:5. Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord: and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil hearts. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north, to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. And now, our Father who art in heaven, we beseech thee to hasten the day when thou wilt set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth—"the day when there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; when to it the Gentiles shall seek, and his rest shall be glorious." Is. 11:12; 11:10.
And now, our Father who art in heaven; we beseech Thee to hasten the day, when to the ensign the nations which Thou has set up, Thou wilt assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth: when, to the Root of Jesse which stands for an ensign of the people the Gentile shall seek, and his rest shall be glorious. Is. 11:12; 11:10.

J. F. FULTON, Clerk.
It appears these petitioners from Pittsburgh and Allegheny had all along opposed the New Covenant adopted by the majority of their former brethren in 1871. So soon as this Bond was incorporated with the Terms of Communion, the petitioners, part of them from each of two congregations, met for consultation. On the 24th of June, 1878, they resolved unanimously in this first meeting,—"We will meet no more with our former brethren, as they have laid down the covenanted attainments of the R.P. Church; but will assemble in our fellowship meeting until God in his Providence bless us with a faithful ministry." On the 5th of August following they appointed their commissioners to the Reformed Presbytery, having previously tabled before their respective Sessions a Protest and Declinature, sustained by the reasons following,which may be helpful to others yet walking in darkness.
"The undersigned offer the following reasons for separation—not from the R.P. Church, but from the Synod that swore and subscribed the New Covenant in Pittsburgh, May 27th, A.D., 1871:
I.—Because by swearing that Bond our brethren violated the Terms of Communion by which we were united in a religious profession. 2.—By said deed they attempted to impose upon us a sinful term of communion—the Bond is this sinful term: and at the same time they set aside lawful terms—our Covenants, National and Solemn League. 3.—Because, when they substituted the Bond for our solemn covenants, they imposed on us a new and unscriptural constitution, to which we owe no subjection; but against which we are solemnly bound to testify. 4.—Because, when they imposed an unscriptural constitution, they also imposed an unlawful administration. 5.—Because the Bond obliges all who swore it to strive to "maintain Christian friendship with pious men of every name, and to feel and act as one with all those pious men (or sects,) in every land, in cultivating a holy brotherhood," &c. Here we cannot but observe that they do not ask pious men to feel and act as one with them, contrary to the 6th article of our Solemn League; thus, tempting us to perjury, in breach of our manifold obligations and reiterated solemn vows. 6.—Because, in substituting the Bond for our Covenants, N. and S. League, they ask us—contrary even to Reformation Principles Exhibited, to recede from a more clear and pointed testimony to one more general, indefinite and evasive; and further, because they have dropped from their testimony great and important truths, to the knowledge and profession of which they had attained. 7th and lastly, we protest against the Erastianism of the Synod in seeking and obtaining an Act of Incorporation from the Legislature of Pennsylvania; and, also, against the same thing on the part of the congregation of Allegheny city, Pa., in asking an Act of Incorporation from the civil courts; notwithstanding all the remonstrances against this Erastian act—contrary to the law and order of the house of God. For these and other reasons we claim it to be lawful for us to separate from the so-called Synod, and from all her subordinate courts, as having any authority over us. And she being unsteadfast and perfidious in God's covenant, has forfeited all right to be called by the name, or to enjoy the rights, privileges, or immunities, of the true R.P. Church: and we claim that the right to be called by this name, and to enjoy these rights, privileges, and immunities, belong only to those who steadfastly adhere to the Second Reformation, as attained to from the year 1638 to 1649 inclusive. And this name and all these rights, privileges, and immunities, we claim, in our own name, and in the name of all those who may adhere to this our protest and declinature." Subscribers' names—George Alexander, Robert Martin, Mrs. Margaret Martin, Miss Margaret J. Martin, Samuel Davidson, Joseph Logan, Mrs. Nancy Logan, William McCune, James McCune, Mrs. Mary E. McCune, James Ellis, Sarah Ellis, James Millar, John Miller, Isabella Millar, Francis Allen.
[1] These interesting and instructive documents are subjoined to the Minutes of Presbytery's proceedings in an Appendix.
[2] These slanders are said to have originated with an elder of the New Covenanters: and if it be so that the same individual expressed an audible wish, "That he might live to dance on the grave of the last member of the Reformed Presbytery;" he was surely in a very bad frame, needing the prayers of his brethren, and forgiveness by the members of the Reformed Presbytery.
