📚 Forum Rules
For a list of Forum Moderators, click HERE
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result, what may be OK to say in your part of the world, may not be OK elsewhere. Please don't direct profanity, sexually explicit language or other offensive content toward Members or their work. Conversely, while reading posts from other members, remember that the word you find offensive may not be offensive to the writer. Tolerance is a two-way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It is unacceptable to post nude or pornographic imagery, which includes the exposure of male or female genitalia and / or female breasts.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and / or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive and therefore, none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post using a clear and descriptive subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question, if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail, what your problem is and what you've done to try solving it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities, not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English, use an online translator. You're free to include your original message in your own language, below the English translation. (This rule covers your posts, profile entries and signature).
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
- If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
- The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com
- You can add updates to your thread (ie new features for an app., etc), BUT only update if you are posting relevant to the topic and NOT with the sole purpose of getting the thread to the top of the page (known as "bumping") otherwise it will be considered as spam.
8. Donations.
As a user, you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work, however donations up front are not allowed. This forum is about sharing and not about getting paid to do something... that is what your job is for.
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don't post with the intention of selling something.
- Don't use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
- Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you're posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
- Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
- Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
- Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.
B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
Developers with questions, comments, complaints, or concerns about our rules (or anything!) should send a PM to either efrant or sykopompos. We are here to help!
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). If the developer decides to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes available for all to use, albeit with the relevant credit displayed.
When permission has already been given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
Reposted content, derivative or maintained works based on that of former or banned members may be removed at our discretion.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay-per-click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use XDA-Developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only ONE User Account
You are allowed ONE User Account at XDA-Developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep threads / posts on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is that your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
- General Forums - For news and announcements relating to your device.
- Q&A Help & Troubleshooting Forums - For all question / request threads and posts. If there is no Q&A Help & Troubleshooting forum, use the General Forum of the relevant device
- Accessories Forum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the device
- Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title) - For Developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs and Kernels including modifications to kernels, bootloaders, ROMs, etc., as well as R&D development discussion threads designed with an end goal
- Themes and Apps Forums - For the posting of Themes and / or Apps as well as announcements & discussions including modifications made to Themes and Apps.
We don't routinely remove Apps that collect identifying numbers or other personal and device identifiers.
However, should an App, developed by you, be identified as one that maliciously performs this activity (e.g. by not disclosing it to the user), it will be removed from the site and possible sanctions applied;
- If the destination of this information is known, it must be made known in the disclosure (examples of this would be you having coded your App to collect IMEI for authentication of the device using it)
- If the destination of this information is unknown (as is the case for ad. engines, which collect it for marketing purposes), then please state which ad. provider you are using, in the disclaimer

Screening is a method of finding out if you have hepatitis before you begin to have any symptoms. Screening involves:
- Assessing your medical history and lifestyle habits that may increase your risk of hepatitis
- Undergoing tests to identify early signs of hepatitis, including blood tests for hepatitis antigens and antibodies. Antigens are foreign proteins. Antibodies are proteins that your body has made to fight infectious agents.
Screening Guidelines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends screening for hepatitis in pregnant women at their first prenatal visit and in people at high risk for the disease.

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Sale's dead arm
Reminder: The FOXSports.com fantasy team will review the fantasy impact of every important MLB trade until Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. You can find everything at this page.
The amazing Mike Fiers got it done again on Friday, new Marlin Nathan Eovaldi was solid on Saturday, and Travis Blackley stumbled on Sunday. With the streaming starter record at 63-42 on the season, today's pick is Oakland's red-hot A.J. Griffin (owned in 12.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues), while Tuesday's selection is Homer Bailey (30 percent owned) versus the Padres.
On to the news:
- The acquisition of Francisco Liriano will allow the White Sox to delay Chris Sale's next start. Sale says he's going through a "dead-arm" phase, and South Side Sox gets into detail this morning on Sale's recent velocity drop. We've discussed Sale's apparent fragility in this space before - remember when the Sox moved him to the bullpen temporarily in May because they thought his arm wouldn't hold up? - and the thought here is has been that while he's got elite skills, an increased workload would eventually catch up to him this season. Try one last time to sell high on Sale if you still can. If you can't, hold him and hope for the best.
- Exhale, Mike Trout owners. Your man expects to play tonight after being scratched Sunday due to a bruised left knee.
- Marlins OF Logan Morrison is on the DL due to a knee injury, and might miss the rest of the season. Teammate Giancarlo Stanton is targeting an August 10 return from his DL stint.
- Despite a rehab setback over the weekend, the Mets still hope to get closer Frank Francisco back this week.
- Poor John Axford. Even as part of a committee, he's still blowing saves.
- If you've been following MLB trade activity, you know that the Astros have gutted their roster in an attempt toward building for a better future. We'll be picking starters against them as often as possible, and you should, too.
- The Red Sox hope to get DH David Ortiz off the DL when eligible on Wednesday. Don't write that return date in ink, though.
- Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval is on the DL with a hamstring injury. The Giants hope Sandoval can return on August 9, and will use new acquisition Marco Scutaro in his place.
- With Neftali Feliz being scratched from his Sunday rehab start because of elbow discomfort, the Rangers are apparently planning to put Alexi Ogando in their rotation. I'd suggest grabbing Ogando in deep mixed leagues, but you might want to wait one more day to see if the Rangers deal for someone like Josh Johnson or James Shields (or even Josh Beckett).
- Orioles 2B Brian Roberts will have season-ending hip surgery. Please don't ask me about him in 2013, OK?
- The Cubs hope to get Matt Garza (triceps) back on the mound - for them or another team - later this week.
- The Astros have called up Brett Wallace, who will get at bats at the infield corners and apparently be an option at ... shortstop? Come on.
- The Royals hope that 3B Mike Moustakas (knee) will be back in the lineup on Tuesday.
- Nick Swisher DH'd for the Yankees on Sunday after missing more than a week with a hip injury, and could play the field again tonight.
- The Pirates say that they're not ready to skip James McDonald's turn in the rotation, despite his recent struggles.
- Cardinals SS Rafael Furcal hopes to return to the lineup on Tuesday after missing two games over the weekend due to back stiffness.
- The Tigers have activated SP Drew Smyly from the DL and sent him to Triple A. After getting Anibal Sanchez last week, there's no room for Smyly in the rotation.
- Nationals 1B Adam LaRoche left Sunday's game due to back tightness, and has "no clue" if he'll be ready to play on Tuesday. Speaking of the Nats, here's a look at how scorching hot 3B Ryan Zimmerman has been over the past month. Everybody should get such great cortisone shots in their shoulders. I might even get one today, just for the heck of it.
- Here's a link to this week's edition of Free Agent Frenzy. Two words: 1) Mike, and 2) Carp.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

Being largely untouched by tourism is perhaps what makes Algeria so special. An unspoilt smorgasbord of raw natural beauty awaits exploration beyond this African gateway – from the vast and spectacular Sahara to the breathtaking coastline and rural greenery of the north. Then there is the charismatic capital city of Algiers, where beautiful colonial and modernist architecture clamours among an intriguing honeycomb of streets. Combined with the warm welcome of Algerian's people and you have a country of underrated but great appeal.
Famous for its oil and diamonds, Angola sits on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. Most visitors come for business but while here find time to explore the capital Luanda, with its colourful street vendors and ubiquitous minivan taxis blasting out kuduru music. See giraffe, elephant and zebra on a day safari to the Kissama National Park or spend sunny days swimming at the sandy beach in the bay of the southern town of Lobito.
The ancient Egyptians' historical legacy will fill you with awe. Visit the great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun and cruise down the Nile to the Valley of the Kings.
Visit Ghana to relax on sandy beaches along the Gold Coast or to spot elephants and lions at national parks. Immerse yourself in West African Ashanti culture in Kumasi, or feel the upbeat vibe of the cosmopolitan capital city, Accra. Away from Accra, you'll find that Ghana's star attraction is its miles of palm-fringed Atlantic Ocean beaches.
Join a safari to Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve for close encounters with leopards, lions and birds of prey. Get a big-city fix in Nairobi – a mix of modern skyscrapers, bustling markets and traditional cultural centres. Wind down on Mombasa's palm tree-fringed beaches and shop for local art in its Old Town. Take a ferry to car-free Lamu Island, home to Kenya's oldest Swahili settlement.
Moroccan holidays offer a feast for the senses, with delicious spicy dishes, beautiful views and bustling cities vying for your attention. Whether you're planning a luxurious city break in Marrakech or a rugged adventure holiday in Agadir, Morocco's fascinating cities and inspiring mountain ranges will inspire you.
Visit Nigeria's network of national parks teeming with wildlife from primates and elephants to cheetahs and leopards. Experience the coastal highlights of former West African kingdom Benin City, and Lagos with its big-city buzz. Explore the Nigerian capital, Abuja, with a host of glittering new buildings and museums.
South Africa
South Africa
As you explore South Africa's regions, you'll come across a diverse range of holiday experiences, all exuding a laid-back South African vibe. Whether you're taking a safari in the Kruger National Park from Johannesburg, following the wine routes in the Cape Province or relaxing in Cape Town, South Africa has an all-round natural beauty all of its own.
Explore the revamped centre of Uganda's hilly capital Kampala or go gorilla tracking in Bwindi. Then get your binoculars at the ready to spot dazzling birds or a tree-climbing lion. If you're into adventure sports, go white-water rafting down the River Nile.
Come to experience the adventure of Zambia's capital, Lusaka. Gaze in awe as the Zambezi River plunges at the mighty Victoria Falls. Fly over the spray in a microlight, or head out to South Luangwa or Kafue National Parks, where you can mount a horse or climb onto the back of an elephant in search of lion, leopard and rhino.

How to Get Wavy Curls
91 comments:
Ooooh, I think momma's getting a new hairdo today! :) I never wrap mine around the barrel either. I'll probably have burn marks on my arm but maybe I'll have nice waves to show for it!ReplyDeleteReplies
I lost the little glove that came with one of my curling irons- I wish I had it now- too easy to burn your fingers if you're not careful!Delete
I need to try this! My hair always looks the same and I'm bored with it. Looks beautiful on you! I'm the same way, wash and dry every day..especially after a workout! How can you not?! Love your blog..Pinterest I'm Angela Elsey :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Angela- I'm following you now!Delete
I have long hair, and I have to admit being a busy mom, running to the gym I wear it in a pony a lot during the week. You've inspired me to try this today :) Thanks for sharing! xo KristinReplyDelete
Yep, I wear a pony tail or messy bun too a lot. I just figured out the messy bun too!Delete
Her hair struck me as awesome too watch this video a few months back. It gives great results but is a little tedious for me timewise. The Minnesota winter is rough on hair and thinking a little vacation back to Houston is in order!ReplyDelete
The wavy curls look great! I shampoo every 2-3 days. My hair stylist told me to stop shampooing my hair so often; she said your hair is not "dirty" just because you sweat. It took some getting used to, but my hair looks much healthier now. I usually do the wavy curls on day 2 or 3.ReplyDelete
I enjoy your blog! :)
Every two days I can do, 3?? I'm following you on Pinterest now!Delete
Your hair looks gorgeous! I like to curl my hair if we're going out, but curling takes to long for it to be an everyday thing. I'm also a wash every day person - the longest I can go is about 36 hours before I NEED to wash my hair.ReplyDelete
Oh and I'm on Pinterest too - http://pinterest.com/thissarahloves/
I bought a curling wand (for cheap) and love it, though it's for special occasions only because it takes forever. The black glove is a life-saver to save your fingers from burns! I wash my hair every day too...always have. If I went 5 days without washing, you would be able to cook breakfast on my head. Ick. My Pinterest username is babymamajuice, and my real name is Amy Florez.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha!! Me too!! I lost my little glove (probably threw it away!). I wish I hadn't because I have touched my fingers on that hot barrel- ouch! I'm off to follow you on Pinterest!Delete
I curl my hair everyday, but it only takes 5 minutes. I just like to give it a little body. I want to try this when I feel like spending a little more time.ReplyDelete
I'm following you on Pinterest Sarah! You're like me with a ton of pins!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah yes, the Pinterest addiction is pretty strong over here. So much inspiration out there & it's so easy to just sit around and pin pretty things while relaxing in front of the TV after dinner! I just started following you on Pinterest too - I don't know how I wasn't before?!?Delete
I love the wavy curls you did!ReplyDelete
I have been working hard to damage my hair as little as possible while growing it out, so I try to go 3 days between washes. The third day may require some dry shampoo ( or cornstarch) on the roots to deal with oil, but I too have been told it doesn't mean your hair is really dirty. And if I dry it/straighten it the first day, it lasts for 3. I just want to protect it from heat styling as much as I can as it is trying to get nice and long.
I am a wash every other day girl. But, I have naturally curly hair, so I don't have to blow dry or curl. Don't worry, it's not as great as it sounds :). I enjoy following you on Pinterest.ReplyDelete
Here is my Pinterest link if you're interested http://pinterest.com/skolbert/Replies
I just found you on Pinterest and am following you now. I'm so happy to hear you let your natural curly hair air dry- it does sound like a dream to me. Sometimes I go to bed with wet hair, but it looks crazy in the morning, so I have to wear it in a pony tail the next day.Delete
Very pretty Megan! I shampoo everyday too - I just can't sleep at night after I workout and sweat if I don't wash it.ReplyDelete
Yeah I am a wash and dry everyday too. I can't wait til my hair is long enough to get the waves. I don't have a Pintrest account although I've noticed my mud room project has been pinned tons! Do I need an invitation from someone in order to have account?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for posting! I have always wondered how people got those beautiful waves. I'm going to give this a try!ReplyDelete
It looks great on you! I tried curling my hair like this and it took me FOREVER but I loved the results. My husband even noticed! It looks great on you! I wash every 2-3 days, and dry shampoo in between, even though I workout everyday. I also notice that when I curl my hair it doesn't look so bad on the days that I don't wash/dry. My pinterest name is Laurin Search.ReplyDelete
Oooh I like it! I found when I started to curl my hair this way it took forever at the beginning. But...as you practice, you'll become super fast at it!ReplyDelete

Hey Megan! I think that looks awesome. I still clamp the hair in the curling iron but my hair's not really long enough to wrap around the iron. I'm a wash every other day schedule for my hair but am totally wondering about how to manage that with workouts too. Anyway, I'd love for you to check out my pinterest boards "christinevbrown" or my blog berryfreckles.com. Thanks!ReplyDelete
From last January til about October I used to only wash my hair 2-3x/week. But now for some reason I'm back to every other day. I need to train my hair again, it's soo difficult. I really don't like my hair when it's not washed (flat, thin hair..)ReplyDelete
Love those curls! Cassie from Hi Sugarplum inspired me to finally stop washing my hair everyday. I bought some dry shampoo and that combined with hair-ties that don't leave big dents in my hair have been the keys for me. My hair is long and thick and is a hot mess when I wake up in the morning but if I brush it out it calms down before I have to leave the house. When I work out, I wear a thick headband at my hairline and tell myself that it absorbs the sweat before my roots do--don't know if that's actually happening, but the placebo effect is good enough for me : ) My pinterest name is Leah Buckley! : )ReplyDelete
Your hair looks great! I like to do the same thing with my hair before I go out on the weekends sometimes. I do it with my straightner though. You basically do the same thing you would with a curling iron. Clamp the straightner on your hair and twirl it as you move down (does that make sense? haha) and voila! Also, I LOVE your iPhone case.ReplyDelete
Looks great! Mine isn't quite long enough yet, and it is super straight!! I have to wash and dry mine every day or it would look like a limp dishrag! Katie has the most beautiful natural curls. She is always being asked what curling iron she uses!! LOLReplyDelete
So cute! I wash every 4 days, I have thick, kind of wavy hair. I straighten usually, but love to curl on day 3 and then my favorite is the leftover curls on day 4. I always get compliments on it and when people ask what I did, I bite my tongue from saying "oh, I just haven't washed for 4 days", haha. It's true, but doesn't sound very nice :) That said, I also dry shampoo in between washes, dry shampoo is probably my favorite discovery ever.ReplyDelete
I haven't tried wrapping yet, but yours looks great! My hair is wavy and holds a curl well... but it's pretty short now. It will need a bit more length to get that kind of result. :)ReplyDelete

I love watching hair tutorials!!! Great post! I'm a wash everyday girl too... Gotta in this Texas heat! When I want to curl my hair I sleep with it wet and its so much easier to curl in the morning, or if I have to wash in the morning I skip conditioner the day I curl. And I can't go clamp less :-) I have the t3 wand but just am too clumsy and burn myself a lot! The glove is a little bulky for my taste... So I curl old school but leave the ends hang out. I also love the sock bun curl method! Worked great for me and got lots of compliments! Happy curling :-) http://pinterest.com/RebeccaCisneros/ReplyDelete
AHH!! You look great! I just chopped 4 inches off of mine. LOL! I have to wash/dry/flatiron every day too. I just get super oily after day one. :( I have natural curls that aren't all the way curly so I have to tame them. I am on Pinterest as well, Shannon Shurtleff. :) I will pass the video to my teenager, she will adore these curls!ReplyDelete
Hey Megan! As I said on Instagram, I love your hair like this!! :)ReplyDelete
I have naturally curly hair that I straighten. The first 2 days after a shampoo, I can wear my hair down, but by day three it's either in a ponytail or a topknot. I found the most AMAZING hair"spray" that keeps your hair feeling (and smelling) fresh for day 2 & beyond...it's the Aveda Air Control. It smells SO good & it just gives your hair the slightest "hold" once it begins to get limp. I think you'd love it!
Mendi @ Her Late Night Cravings
I love hair tutorials!!! I'm also hooked on Huda makeup tutorials since you posted those awhile back too btw!!! But back to hair... I'm a wash everyday girl too! Gotta in this Texas heat! But I have found that the days I want to curl it there are a couple of things that help me... I'll sleep with it wet the night before or if I have to wash in the morning I'll skip conditioner that day... Sounds bad but helps the curl stay if its humid. I can't go clamp less :-) too clumsy and my glove is a little bulky... So I use the clamp curling iron old school and just leave the ends out... Also speeds it up for me and cuts it from like 20 min to less than 10! I love the sock bun curling method too! I pinned it :-) http://pinterest.com/RebeccaCisneros/ReplyDelete
I think it looks really nice; very feminine and pretty. I don't have long hair but wash my hair normally every other day. I did wash it every day when I worked out and was sweating. I don't think I go without washing it after sweating.ReplyDelete
Are there still people out there who AREN'T on Pinterest?! :)ReplyDelete
I saw that hair tutorial, too. Super cute.
Here's the link to my boards:
I'm headin' over to stalk yours....
Really pretty...time for a new look...my hair is so straight, hope it lasts.ReplyDelete
It looks darling on you! I have two grown daughters who are MASTERS at those curls, and I just can't (for the life of me) get it to work quite as well on my hair ... ah well. Love Pinterest - my name over there is pollydove. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah, you need your daughters to do yours for you! :)Delete
It looks great! I can go 2-3 days between washes but only if I don't workout. Working out I'm an everyday washer. I spend about an hour between blowdrying, fixing & makeup. Too long!ReplyDelete
I found her on pinterest too! I plan on sharing a tutorial video of my own soon as well! My pinterest is pinterest.com/hannahhagler I'm a freak -- there's way too many pins on there! Makes me question my social life.ReplyDelete

I've curled my hair like this or similiar almost everyday for 3 years. I recently cut my bangs and now wear it really straight. A big difference and I'm still getting used to it. I am addicted to my curling iron.ReplyDelete
Pinterest is under KMKing81
Your hair looks gorg!!! I still use the clamp when I curl my hair, I just prefer how it looks. I can go 4-5 days without washing my hair now, but I used to be and every other day washer and the third day hair was always nasty hair. It takes a bit of time to 'train' your hair to go 4-5 days, but with all the dry shampoo options out there now it's not that bad. And now third day hair is sometimes my best hair hahaReplyDelete
ps, I'm brittdouglas8 on Pinterest :)
I'm wavy most of the time -- and just starting using a clampless iron...feel like such a dork with the glove, but it's essential!! You look gorgeous!ReplyDeleteReplies
Pretty sure I threw my glove away- dang it! Maybe I can just buy a new one?? It does look silly though . . .Delete
Okay so I bought a wand curling iron, but still haven't played with it enough to get those great waves. I need to get on that! and I still need to learn how to do the cute messy bun! I'm so behind and my hair looks the same EVERY DAY. You hair looks beautiful like that!ReplyDeleteReplies
That dang messy bun took me way too long to master- and it's actually really simple once I got the hang of it. It's my favorite way to wear "dirty" hair or to the gym. I'm sure it will be like that at the pool this summer too!Delete
Looks perfect have to try!ReplyDelete
it turned out gorgeous!! Thank you so much for the feature!!!ReplyDelete
XOXO Cara
Hi Megan! Great tutorial link. Your hair looks beautiful! I do my hair almost the same way! Only like you, I still use the clamp. Old school I guess! :) I did a post on it if you want to see. I go about 4-5 days between washing my hair and I work out all the time too!ReplyDelete
Also I'm on pinterest here:

Erin, I'm already a follower of yours! :) Thanks for reading here too!ReplyDelete
Thanks for this! I was working from home today since I had an eye dr appt and had a chance to try it. My eye dr got some fancy hair today! ;) I was a no clamp virgin before this and my eyes have seen the light! Not claming makes such pretty curls!!!ReplyDelete
Oh, BTW, I am Jaime Roszak in Pinterest and I am OBSESSED with it! :)Replies
Ha- looking hot for the eye doc- nice!! I'm going to find you on Pinterest . . .Delete
I love it...it looks great!ReplyDelete
I wash my hair every-single-day! I have to...I get super sweaty at the gym! I feel dirty if I don't! I take a shower after I put my little to bed, I use "It's a 10" leave in conditioner after I towel dry my hair, then I blow dry my hair mostly dry, usually my ends are still a little damp. Then it's bed time and I style my hair in about 30 minutes in the morning. :)
Following you all the way from New York, NY!
This is great! Will be getting some much needed mommy time at the salon tomorrow so I can't wait to try this out after!ReplyDelete
Your hair looks fantastic! I usually go 2-3 days between washing and just tried a dry shampoo spray that worked great on that 3rd day!ReplyDelete

Love it girl! You are absolutely gorgeous! That's how I do my hair almost everyday! I just started wearing it that way about 6 months ago and I get so many compliments! I have to do it about every other day. I'm with ya on the gym thing! Btw, I recently sat down last week and read Honey We're Healthy for about an hour! Not only have we fallen in love with the mexican casserole at our house, but I'm doing the Jamie Eaton Program. Currently on week 2 and seeing some great results already! You're a huge inspiration for me blog & style-wise, so now health-wise, too! Thanks for the inspiration!! xo ~ Virginia @ LiveLoveDIYReplyDelete
So pretty!! Wish I could try it... my hair won't hold curl : ( I was hoping I'd be one of those girls whose hormones went crazy post-pregnancy and ended up with curly hair... still stick straight!ReplyDelete
I have naturally curly hair, so if/when I straighten it I usually blow it out and then do the big wavy curls because my hair never actually gets "straight." Your hair looks great in the photo...how long did the curls stay in? My pinterest name is http://pinterest.com/norajakes .ReplyDelete

Megan, there is a great idea I got from Pinterest months ago that works great for me. It is called "The No Heat Curls". Basically I blow dry my hair at night, wrap it up, sleep on it, pull out the hair band in the morning and its pretty much done. I just finish it off with a curling iron on the ends.

Hi Megan, I have long, thick, curly hair. I wash it once to twice a week. My hair looks better a few days after I shampoo. I stumbled upon Cara's tutorial a few months back and tried her technique. My curls look awesome when I follow her instructions. It is more time consuming than the way I normally curl it though. Your hair turned out really nice! BTW, I love your blog!!! It's one of my favs!

You hair looks great the more you practice the easier it becomes! XOXO I wish I could go 5 days with out washing but in Miami it gets hot and with exercising I feel I need to wash my hair almost everyday. I do love to curl my hair though its faster than using the flat iron.ReplyDelete
Looks cute! I saw you post it on instagram and thought it turned out really great.ReplyDelete
I'm in the wash/blowdry every day category also. I just can't stand the way it feels after I exercise so I have to- I don't know how some women cannot, but maybe I sweat too much?! haha

I bought one of those curling wands (without a glove) and burnt a few fingers the first time I used it! Love the waves, just have to get used to doing it.ReplyDelete
I love your blog and follow you on Pinterest. I'm at pinterest.com/jenniferm27
I actually skip any sort of curling iron/hair dryer. Instead, I use a dab of Kevin Murphy's Easy Rider and the twirl grouped strands with my fingers while my hair is damp and air dry.ReplyDelete
i just got a new haircut so i will see how long it takes me to style. my hairdresser did wavy curls with a flat iron in about 3 minutes on my super thick hair, i wish i was that quick!ReplyDelete
i love your blog, i'm a new follower
my pinterest name is abbey bernardi
i'm also on instagram, are you?
hope you are having a great weekend!
I love the waves! It looks so good. You are not the only person who still uses the curling iron clamp. I definitely need to try this look. I wash my hair every day. I have an oily scalp and it's so gross if I don't wash it. My hair stylist agreed its a must for me. I'm on pinterest. I'm Leigh Furline.ReplyDelete
I usually curl mine using the wand and it stays like that for several days. I can't wash mine everyday bc it's pretty dry. It takes a while initially but is nice to not ave to fix after that! My Pinterest name is Leah Opitz. (I'm in Katy too)ReplyDelete
LOVE the big wavy curls! My Pinterest is caitlin_hamlin!ReplyDelete
You're not the last person, trust me! I hate curling my hair that way because it takes so long (I have a lot of hair!). You also might try Suave Dry Shampoo to get an extra day out of your hair. Working out definitely cuts into how long I can go without washing but this definitely helps!! :)ReplyDelete
I'm crystalinthebay on Pinterest!ReplyDelete
I am actually catching up on your posts and surfing Pinterest at the same time! I'm crystalinthebay :)ReplyDelete
Hi! I am a new reader, I just discovered your blog, and love it :)ReplyDelete
I DO curl my hair this way, and it works better for me, especially, because my hair is so fine that the clamp used to leave a noticeable
dent if I wasn't careful. Your hair look great!!
I agree! If I workout that day, I definitely wash my hair.
Otherwise, dry shampoo works great, but I only can go every other, or MAYBE every 3rd day.
Nice to meet you!
Check out my blog, too, if you'd like.

TNB: The Passion of Grubb
Some stories are so amazing they must be told. This modern Greek tragedy, which takes place on the ancient island of Kalymnos, is NOT one of those stories. But like something that's so bad it's good, or when your hands are so cold they feel wet, this story is so "unamazing" that I'd be remiss not to include it in The Amazing Issue™.
We landed in Kalymnos after spending 40 hours in transit. The group included myself, Jen, Sam, Emily and Jason Grubb: our fall boy, the sidekick, the fifth wheel.
Grubb and I have a love-hate relationship. I hate him and he loves it. Grubb is a squat man-child with white teeth, vanity muscles and an indiscriminate libido that runs like the Colorado River in the spring. He's the consummate libertine, a reveler with a certain childish exuberance that often attracts the fleeting adoration of the Self-conscious & Insecure. Yet somehow his antics are endearing, which can only be attributed to his unbounded positive attitude. Positron, we call him. Nothing brings Grubb down, and no matter how hard you try to resist, he will inevitably bring you up. This is a fantastic attribute in a climbing partner and friend.
I guess I should mention that a photographer was there, too. Photographers hide behind lenses and exclude themselves from the action. As a writer, I find their existences grotesque since they never play a very meaningful role in The Story, whatever it may be. In this case, the only relevant detail about this person is his name, Boone Speed, a disclosure that we writers call foreshadowing.
You now know everything you need to know. Prepare to be unamazed.
Kalymnos is a true paradise for climbers—a new concept. It wasn't so long ago that climbing trips were called "expeditions," and were big, royal missions to the Himalaya or anywhere else bleak enough to bring on the experience of suffering in tents and being whipped by the cold like shit-eating donkeys. Could anyone back then have predicted that hedonism and hard climbing would one day pair so well as they do in Kalymnos? Of course not! Because back then they didn't have time machines … or hot tubs. Or hot-tub time machines.
Still, climbers inherently need a certain degree of physical suffering in order to have fun. No one had more "fun" than Jason Grubb.
Within hours of arriving, we found a merchant with an aversion to paperwork and he rented us mopeds to tour the island like a band of marauding outlaws. You don't necessarily need mopeds to climb in Kalymnos; we just desperately wanted them. As soon as we accepted the keys to our bikes, the linear statistic of our projected life spans shrunk to a pinpoint not extending past our tickets home.
While we coupled down, the Fifth Wheel got his own moped—our choice, not his, and a situation that we all felt good about. Anyway, the thing that Grubb never seemed to comprehend is that when you rev the throttle to start the bike, you also need to hold the brake handle. I don't know why, but this concept was above him. Every time he turned his moped on, it was like watching a pocket Hercules wrangle a bucking centaur.
Across the street from our apartment was a cave-like grocery store inhabited by a giant known as The O'Beese. This creature weighed close to 400 pounds and was in a perpetual opiate haze. On the first day, we went in the store while Grubb wandered off somewhere alone. The O'Beese was sunk into his fortified steel chair, both eyes closed and with his hands folded woodenly over his mountainous abdomen. We placed yogurt and Kalymnian honey on the counter. When he sensed our presence, he lifted his right eyelid, a blanket of flesh as heavy as the jowls of a basset hound, and estimated the food's cost, which he indicated with the five bratwursts that were his fingers. We escaped from the market and went to our apartment, wondering where Grubb had gone.
All single males have this fantasy of arriving at a destination and meeting a beautiful single girl who climbs really well. But that never happens, does it? (Take a moment and try to count the number of single female climbers you know. Now count the number of single male climbers. See?)
Unless you're Grubb, in which case it happens all the time. Upon returning to the apartment, we found the unthreatening man-boy sitting in the pool with a dark-haired bombshell. Her name was "Penelope" and she was a Perfect 10, traveling solo, in need of a partner, a good climber and really smart—an astrophysicist on tour through Europe giving lectures on her research. She and Grubb made plans to climb together the next day while we rolled our eyes.
Late that night, we took a moped ride through the romantic, saline air, and this imbued me with a sense of sovereignty and inner peace. Then Jen and I watched Grubb lose control and slam into the driver's side door of an oncoming car. He crumpled onto the pavement while a small assembly of locals emerged, gasping and trying to help him up. But Grubb was as skittish as a cornered mouse, and he quickly juiced the throttle to flee the scene. Once again he failed to hold the brake; the tires spun at full tilt, firing the moped back across the street, yanking with it Grubb, whose feet pattered behind him on the pavement. Like a diesel-powered battering ram, the bike struck the side of a dumpster that belonged to The O'Beese, with an impact that knocked the wind out of Grubb. The booming reverberation petrified the crowd, which stood clenched in silence. A breathless Grubb hastily remounted the bike, and wove away into the night.
Jen and I parked and acted as if we didn't know this person who had just achieved the all-time record of two separate moped accidents in less than eight seconds.
The chaos woke The O'Beese and he emerged, revealing to us for the first time his full and terrible gait. He lifted his pouched eyes, opened his arms and, to our great surprise, sang. The crowd joined in chorus:
"That was weird," Jen said. I agreed, and we went straight to bed.
In the early-morning dawn, cold blue light varnished the northern promontories and white Mediterranean architecture of Kalymnos. We mounted our mopeds and headed out toward Arhi, an overhanging tufa wall with a fine collection of limestone phalluses.
Penelope was excited to climb, but I noticed a subtle expression of alarm on her pretty face as she saddled up on the back of Grubb's moped and wrapped her arms around the little man's waist. Grubb turned to us and made a face that suggested he was enjoying himself way too much … as if her embrace was not the cringing death-grip that it so obviously was.
The day was uneventful, filled with the usual 5.13 onsights by Sam, who screamed so loudly atop one route that he scared cheese out of the goats milling beneath. All day Grubb inconspicuously searched for reasons to leave early, really so he could get back on the moped with Penelope. As per usual, we ignored him until 3 p.m., when we were bone-tired and the sun had begun its hot crawl across the wall. We checked our day's itinerary and realized we had six hours of drinking ouzo and eating delicious seafood to do.
On the ride back, I snickered to myself about Penelope's suggestion that, from now on, Grubb wear his climbing backpack when they rode together on the moped. This extraordinary literal and figurative barrier between them, however, could do nothing to dampen Positron's lovesick hopes.
That night at dinner Grubb really turned on his charm. He flashed his pearly whites, and acted massively interested in Penelope's field of physics—which I am pretty sure he previously thought was a fancy word for gym class.
Our group had returned to our favorite restaurant, which was run by a happy, bald Greek fellow named Sakis. Our zeal had made an impression on Sakis earlier that week when we ordered everything on his menu. From that point on, he loved us and the entire kitchen staff would ring bells and holler whenever they saw us walking by on the street. And when we ate there, which was often, it was nearly impossible to keep a carafe of wine empty for very long.
This hospitality, however, indirectly became the catalyst for one of Jason Grubb's most trying experiences, a pivotal and transformative life moment that, in its throes, was equally traumatic for those around him. As Grubb tried to get his game on with Penelope, he thoughtlessly adopted a wishful pace of imbibing. He'd muscle a carafe off the table and fill his glass above its brink to a point where only the wine's surface tension kept it from spilling. But instead of returning the carafe to the table—and this is the truly "unamazing" thing—he'd drink more straight from the pitcher, shaking it like a stubborn ketchup bottle above his gaping thirst-hole until the very last droplet trickled down his gullet.
"Get down off the chair," Sakis pleaded. "You really don't understand time travel!"
After roughly nine liters of wine and a couple of hours spent feigning interest in physics, Grubb had lost his mind … and his shirt. Half-naked and standing on a stool, Grubb was mindlessly dissecting Einstein's theory of relativity, a situation made all the more painful in that his entire understanding of physics came from once watching Back to the Future.
For a while, Sakis had been entertained by Grubb's outrageously wrong concepts of our four dimensions, and since the restaurant owner was OK with it, we forced ourselves to be OK, too. But the breaking point was Grubb's claim that Back to the Future was the "greatest movie trilogy of all time"—the single stupidest thing any of us had ever heard.
We paid the bill, left a copious tip and exited onto the street. Grubb charged to the front, repeatedly yelling, "Boooooooooone Speeeeed ahead!"
We shushed him, but he was too wound up and loopy to affect. Sam suggested that we find a beach and chill out there.
Atop an uneven cement staircase leading down to the beach, Grubb wobbled and assumed a crouched pose like a ski racer in preparation for his descent. "Booooooooone Speed ahead!" He tucked and barrel-rolled halfway down, and then lurched upright, launching into a short-lived sprint that landed him right in a bush at the entrance of a peaceful seafood restaurant, which, as a side note, offered a beautiful stuffed calamari on its menu. The diners and staff rushed over to Grubb, but he erected himself and carried on toward the yawning, tenebrous ocean.
I said, "Grubb, if you yell Mr. Speed's name again, I'm going to slap you with your passport." He yelled. I slapped. It was On.
I've dealt with drunken people before (and, it should be said, people have dealt with me), and you never know if they're going to react to confrontation passively or hyper aggressively. When I realized I was the dominant one, my ire over Grubb's behavior transformed into a warm inner happiness that only grew with each tender backhand I leveled across his chin.
Sam, however, was pissed. After returning to the apartment, we placed a sandy Grubb on a stool, and Sam shouted at him like a Guantanamo prisoner.
"You're such a child, Grubb!"
Grubb began to protest this assertion, so I slapped him, this time pretty hard.
"Uhh," Grubb moaned. "Thank you for your patience, Mr. Bisharat. See, Sam? See how patient Mr. Bisharat is?"
Somehow Sam and I both kept straight faces by furrowing our unibrows. Still, Grubb needed someone to find him funny in this harrowing moment of humiliation and despair. He picked up a gallon jug of water and dumped it all over his face. Only the joke was on him because he instantly choked and violently coughed. He found his way over to a hanging vineyard adjacent to the pool and, in a full and ironic circle, vomited a liter of wine on the nascent grapes.
I found a hose and cleaned up the mess, then turned the hose on Grubb to wash him off, which made him gurgle and writhe on the ground like a fitful infant. Once in his room, he immediately stripped naked, which caused the girls to shriek and flee to a corner, where they hugged and consoled each other. Grubb fell over, with his face landing on his pillow and the rest of his nude body hanging off the side of the bed like some sopping, lifeless figment produced by the mind of Edvard Munch.
Sam and I sighed. We each grabbed a leg and wheel-barrowed Grubb's reeking carcass onto the cot, our eyes squinting before the ripe full moon.
Of course, the next day Grubb felt totally fine. We all felt that he should be hungover at least, remorseful at best. Positron shrugged off our admonitions, and suggested we'd feel better after some food.
We walked down the street past the restaurant, and when Sakis saw us, he ran out, ringing his bell.
"How are you, my friend?" he said to Grubb, patting him on the shoulder. "You know you are a hero? Jason is the hero of all the Greeks!"
"You hear that?" Grubb said. "I'm a hero!"
"No, you misunderstood him," I said. "He said you're a gyro. It's different."
"No, no," Sakis corrected me. "'Jason' means hero. You are welcome to come to my restaurant any time. Any one who enjoys life is welcome at Sakis'."
I had a hard time envisioning Grubb as the leader of the Argonauts. But perhaps I shouldn't. To travel for climbing is to lead a life fully lived. If you're lucky, it's with as much passion as a guy like Grubb. No matter where you go, the rocks remain inanimate, but the climbing partners around you make a trip worth taking, and life worth living.
That was a heroic thing to have shown us.
Mr. Bisharat is very patient, indeed.

Concealed Knife – A knife was found zip-tied to the inner workings of a bag handle at Cedar Rapids (CID). Clever, but no match for our officers and technology. (See photo)
Chicken Soup for Your Pants? – Officers found a can of soup in a Las Vegas passenger's carry-on bag. When told that it couldn't go through because of the liquids rule (it was more than 3.4 ounces), the passenger said they would put the soup in their checked baggage. But when the passenger returned to the checkpoint, officers saw that the passenger had tried to hide the soup in their pants. No soup for them.
Derringer in a Dopp Kit – A Derringer was found amongst everyday toiletry items in a dopp kit at San Diego (SAN). I don't think you could trim your nails, but I bet you could knick yourself if you shaved with it. (See photo)
Stun Pen – I've often heard that the pen can be mightier than the sword. Well, in this case that statement is pretty close to being true. A stun-pen was found on a passenger at Chicago Midway (MDW).
Bad Kitty – Known as a black cat, or cat eyes, this seemingly harmless kitty cat (see photo) becomes a punching weapon when your fingers are inserted in its eyes. It's cute little pointy cat ears are designed to puncture and rip flesh.
Belt Buckle Knife – A belt buckle knife was found was found on a passenger during screening at Akron (CAK). Holy utility belt, Batman, good thing you didn't bring your batarang and grappling gun.
More Grenades – An inert grenade was found this week in a checked bag at Salt Lake City (SLC). Another was found in a carry-on bag at San Diego (SAN) and it had a 1" knife concealed inside it.
People Say the Darndest Things: Here is an example of what not to say at the airport. Statements like this not only delayed the people who said them, they can also inconvenience lots of other passengers if the checkpoint has to be evacuated:
· An officer at Minneapolis (MSP) was searching a bag for liquids when the passenger stated: "Those are my explosives."

Anybody who keeps up with TSA knows that static security is not our cup of 3.4 oz. tea. We're constantly evolving in an effort to make things more difficult and unpredictable for those wishing to do us harm. And that's the case here. Over 2 years ago, we started an employee screening program that included unpredictable gate screening. Just recently, we strengthened our layers of security by increasing the frequency of gate screening. Travelers haven't seen this much gate activity since TSA rolled out in 2002, so people are taking notice.
In some cases, travelers have become concerned about the safety of their flight after being selected for gate screening. There's no reason to worry. It's not being screened due to any specific threats.
Gate screening allows us to screen anybody who has access to the aircraft. Oh yeah, and there are signs at the checkpoint or at the gates informing passengers they may be subjected to gate screening.

This looks amazing. I got it for my fiancee who didn't even know what a Claddagh ring was before she met me. Now she wears it on her right hand and her traditional wedding band/engagement ring on her left. She loves it and I'd buy from this company again without hesitation.

This opal ring is incredible. I am really impressed! While the stone is small, it has me floored by its ever-changing sparkles - it shows pink/red, blue, green, and violet when it catches the light! I'll take genuine opal any day over fake. The ring is the right size, too - and I love the claddagh!! One more thing: a cute little Valentine teddy bear was included - that was a surprise! Thx.!

Ring received was unfortunately too light for my goal (green amethyst is her birthstone, and her eyes are a beautiful shade of green). Everyone there was very helpful, and worked with me to overnight the ring back, (then minus two days of jewish holiday apparently) overnight the new ring to me. It is a beautiful ring, and she likes it very much. She cried when I gave it to her :) Thanks!

Helps With The Kids
This isn't a real alien space craft. So if you end up getting probed, don't look at us.
Your kids want stuff. No, really, they do. Ask 'em "Do you guys want stuff?" and they'll yell back YEAAAAH! and then maybe throw in a "But it's good stuff, right?" And that's where you, the parent, come into play.
It's your job to find some good stuff and pass it along to the teeny types who don't know any better. Then they can smash it and tear and it feed it to a goat (how did that even get in your yard, anyway?) and demand more stuff. It's an endless cycle and the only thing that saves you from a pauper's grave is the though that one day you'll be mooching off them. And also, these Woot-offs.
Take this opportunity to stock up on the things your kids need and hide them in the drawer where you keep the broccoli. They'll never go in THERE, right?
Of course, the goat might. Maybe you should pick up a lock while you're thinking about it. Or call a goat exterminator. Whatever works for you.

Rosacea is a skin disorder. It causes chronic redness of the face. Rosacea usually affects the cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. The ears, chest, and back may also be affected. More than half of people with rosacea also have mild eye symptoms. This may include redness, burning, and watering. This is known as ocular rosacea.
The cause of rosacea is unknown. Several theories exist.
Factors that can cause flushing or blushing may trigger flare-ups in people with rosacea.
These factors include:
- Very hot or spicy foods
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Sun exposure
- Extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold)
- Exercise
- Emotional stress or social embarrassment
- Rubbing, scrubbing, or massaging the face
- Irritating cosmetics and other toiletries
Risk Factors
Rosacea is more common in women, between 30 and 60 years old, and in people with fair skin.
Your risk of rosacea is increased if you have family members who also have rosacea.
Long-term use of steroids applied to the skin may also increase your risk.
The symptoms of rosacea vary from person to person. They include:
- Frequent flushing on the face and neck
- Redness and swelling on the face
- Small pink bumps and/or pimples
- Thin red lines showing the small blood vessels of the face
- Redness, burning, dryness, and tearing of the eyes
- An enlarged, bulbous red nose—less common, affecting men more than women
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your skin will also be examined. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders. This type of doctor is called a dermatologist. Do not try to diagnose or treat yourself. Certain over-the-counter medications could make your condition worse.
Rosacea generally can't be cured. It can be controlled. There are several ways to manage rosacea. Your doctor may recommend more than 1 method, depending on the type and severity of the rash.
Prescription medications for rosacea include:
- Antibiotics taken by mouth or applied to the skin
- Other topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, sulfa, or tretinoin
In more severe cases, medications may sometimes include:
- Oral isotretinoin
- Oral methotrexate, dapsone, primaquine, chloroquine, or prednisone
Topical cortisone is generally avoided on the face. It can make rosacea worse when used long term. However, it can be effective as a short-term treatment.
Treatment for redness or flushing may include:
- Clonidine in low doses
- Beta blockers (certain types)
The following procedures minimize redness, enlarged blood vessels, and an enlarged nose:
- Electrosurgery
- Laser surgery
- Dermabrasion
Preventing rosacea can be difficult. If you have rosacea, there are several steps you can take to control the condition:
- Avoid things that may trigger flushing or blushing. This includes certain foods, alcohol, and exposure to the sun.
- Protect your skin from the sun. Use clothing, hats, or sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
- Exercise in a cool environment to avoid overheating.
Avoid anything that irritates your skin:
- Apply topical medications, moisturizers, and cosmetics gently
- Use cleansers, moisturizers, cosmetics, and other toiletries that are gentle and alcohol-free

We all have them – those friends in life that for one reason or another seem destined just to sabotage all your hard work.
Maybe it's the well-meaning bestie, or the unintentional husband, but the people closest to you have some weird sort of knack for knowing when you're on a role and then knocking you down a peg or two – and maybe it's not always on purpose, but it's there.
Sure, "frenemies" are a fact of life and I'm sure you might have one or two toxic folks in the mix that might simply just be jealous of your success. But no matter what the reason, you can't let the input of others derail you – keep on keepin' on.
Of course it's easier said than done.
Especially when the situation is by no means a malicious one, it's hard to know how to tune out but not become a Debbie Downer – or horror of horrors, the Die-Hard Dieter that everyone feels uncomfortable eating with. Accept that eating and food are just a fixed part of social life – ya can't get around it. From BBQ's to cocktails at girl's night, you've just got to make it work with your diet plan.
You just need a plan of attack for no matter what shape your sabotage takes.
The "Live Your Life" Friend
Ah, the well –meaning, would-be support system. We all know this friend – the "just a taste" kind. But somehow "just a taste" turns in to an entire pizza. And sure, you'll go for cocktails with them… but it will always turn in to an entire pitcher of sangria. And maybe, just maybe, you guys could share a dessert…
Really, the only intentions of this friend are that you enjoy your life. They only see the joy they have when they're with you and genuinely probably just forget. But of course, the road to disaster is paved with good intentions. For starters, definitely don't take this personally or as an attack on all your hard work. This is definitely not a reason to cut back on the friendship – just on the calories consumed as a result of the friendship. Don't skip out on a weekly dinner-date; just pick a place where you know you'll be able to control the insanity. If Mexican cantinas lead to all-you-can-eat fiestas, then try your favorite sushi spot where you have a few options that don't even need modifications. Don't forfeit your happy-hour tradition, just maybe move the party to your place where you can limit your selections to low-cal cocktails and not be tempted by the fruity, juicy, tempting, schmorgasbord that is the beverage menu,
The Trigger Friend
Sure, meals with this pal usually go fairly well. In fact, maybe she's on a similar eating plan as you. But after a well-balanced meal, you find yourself heading home, meandering around your kitchen slowly eating yourself out of house and home. Halfway through your third sleeve of chocolate chip cookies, you begin reflecting on the evening.
The entire night 's conversation was dedicated to how her world is crumbling down.
Thus, the trigger friend. This means the friend who simply causes you to stress eat. The same can be said for trigger scenarios. A big one is at the end of a day where maybe you didn't do so hot with your choices, so you end up canceling on dinner with your folks at that great new place you knew they'd love. By the end of the night, you not only didn't spare yourself the extra calories, you've also finished off the last sleeve of cookies.
Never avoid plans! You could probably have found something perfectly suitable at the restaurant and would've felt great being out and about. Know your triggers – and if you find yourself in that situation, treat yourself in a different way. Slink in to that outfit that always makes you feel good, hit up the discount shoe store, give yourself an hour of cheesy television, pretty much anything to shake the funk for a bit.
The Long, Lean Loved One
Just because you're cutting out the calories doesn't mean your genetically skinny-minny hubby needs to too. You're measuring portions, he's measuring how big of a bite of his parmigiana hero he can get in his mouth at once.
First off, remember that just because his (or her!) waistline is staying trim, doesn't meant that all those calories aren't taking a toll. People can appear svelte as a swimmer, but might have cholesterol through the roof. So for starters, a house stocked with healthy goodies is a good jumping off point (and then he can eat whatever he wants for lunch during work.) Also, when it comes to dining out and he goes ahead and orders something that ends in the word "platter", don't even torture yourself with a taste. Just let it go… let it go.
One of the most dreaded situations with this kind of eater is those nights where you want HIM to plan dinner. You've just had a day that kicked your ass and would love if he'd handle the night's dining, but it's hard to get what you need out of a meal when someone who doesn't have to take certain things in to consideration is planning it. Instead of saying the cursed "I dunno, you pick" give him a few choices and let him pick from there. That way you narrow it down but still leave it up to him.
The only thing that complicates this kind of household is when you have a wee one who DOES need the calories and extra fat -- or when one child needs to watch their intake closely and the other child needs a little padding in their diet. For this, just make sure the calories are coming from healthy fats. Avocados instead of chicken wings, good healthy portions of olive oil, go for stuff like this.
