If you have hair like mine, you are constantly dealing with dry brittle hair, split ends, and terrible manageability. I have tried different products in desperate hopes that a miracle will occur. I have used products that have made my hair even drier than when I first started and products that made my hair feel like I just put a ton of gel in it. Apparently, good manageable hair is too much to ask!<br />
<br />
On my journey, a nice fairy at <a href="http://www.parnevu.com/" target="_blank"><b>Parnevu</b></a> granted me a chance meeting with a few new products in the <a href="http://www.parnevu.com/shop/t-tree" target="_blank"><b>Parnevu T-Tree Hair Care Line</b></a>. <br />
<br />
The first product she granted me was the <b><a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/t-tree?product_id=73" target="_blank">Parnevu T-Tree Relaxer</a>. </b>This kit contains your basic relaxer system (relaxer w/ activator, neutralizing shampoo, conditioner, gloves, spatula, and instructions), but what made me smile was the protective gel, something you don't get with all kits. The protective gel makes sure that the relaxer won't cause any harm to the sensitive areas of your scalp. Another thing included is the scalp oil which provides moisture and is basically medicine for your hair.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_ttree_kit-228x228.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_ttree_kit-228x228.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, she gave me the <b><a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/t-tree?product_id=53" target="_blank">Parnevu T-Tree Break Control</a>. </b>I have to say, I love the scent. I know it's odd but I do. Most importantly, I love the way it makes my hair feel. You apply this product to your hair daily, in my case, I used it every other night before bed, because honestly it made me feel like it didn't need anymore. This product was designed to control breakage (obviously) and split ends. Within a few days, I saw results, alot less hair on my clothing when I combed my hair! Sheer Joy! It's not too thick and it does not weigh your hair down like some products do. Let me say this, I cannot stand the feeling of a product making my hair feel like there's a goblin sitting in the middle of my scalp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_ttree_break-control-228x228.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_ttree_break-control-228x228.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, her last gift to me, was the <a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/extra-dry?product_id=66" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Parnevu Extra Dry VitaGrow</a>. Like the Break control, it is made to be used daily, but I alternated days with the two products. The smell reminded me of the grease my momma and grandma would use when doing my hair as a child. Massage the product into the scalp and send your roots into Parnevu bliss. You can feel it stimulating your roots and within a few days, the new growth is ready to be managed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_edry_VitaGrot-228x228.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://parnevu.com/shop/image/cache/data/p_edry_VitaGrot-228x228.png" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, these products made me happy and I continue to use them to this day. My hair is healthier and alot more manageable. The best part is, the products have not only pleasing results, but pleasing prices. While most hair care lines can start from $10-$30, these products retail from $5-7! Special thank you to my Parnevu fairy, you have made my hair smile!</div>

Finding a scent for your home can be frustrating. You have to choose the right scent, the right device, and you have to be able to choose how strong the scent will be. Some home fragrance items can be overpowering and make you want to toss the items out the window. Other items can be an eyesore, big bulky automatic sprayers that clash with the decor. Well folks, times have changed! Glade has come up with TWO new ideas that are exciting and invigorating. The first being the Oil Diffuser. A small device that you can discreetly sit on a table and the scent fills the air. However, if you are the type that would like to control the stregnth of the scent, then try the Fragrance Mist. A small, sleek designed can that you spray into the air and the smell surrounds you taking you to paradise. My favorite is the Pineapple & Mangosteen. The smell is so inviting and I love when I open the front door and the fragrance welcomes me. It's not too strong and it doesn't make you gasp for air. These products release just the right amount of scent needed to make your home feel like an oasis.Passionately Poetiqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12807233855890732757noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800965818788441937.post-16696544233226904982012-08-29T17:58:00.002-07:002012-08-29T17:58:09.546-07:00Quick Cash Every Month?

You can provide complete birth details including the meaning of the name, doctor, and full hospital address. Another of my favorite features was the health section. It enables you to add your family's insurance information, extended details about the doctor, medication information, immunizations and much more. AboutOne also provides a selection of printable items such as family newsletters, caregiver/health records, education history, volunteer activity sheets, and capital gains sheets. You can also keep track of homes you have owned/rented currently and previously. I adore the family friendly appeal of the website and how everything is neatly organized under different sections. Each family has their own "page" with their most important details and fun stuff like the birthstone, Chinese horoscope sign, birth flower, Zodiac sign, and fun facts about when they were born. It also shows name, nickname, birthdate, anniversaries, marital status, and your own personal memories and milestones, along with scanned documents. For the frugal parents, there are tips on ways to save you time and money! All in all, AboutOne is by far a winner in my eyes. It is a very appealing website that helps to manage and organize your family history and includes many fun and helpful extras. You do have to pay with affordable pricing such as five dollars per month or 30 dollars per year, it is absolutely worth it.</p></span>Passionately Poetiqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12807233855890732757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800965818788441937.post-43377544583629537572010-11-25T12:13:00.000-08:002010-11-25T12:13:02.823-08:00FREEBIE ALERT FROM PATRÓN!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Good Afternoon and Happy Thanksgiving!!</span><br />

<br />
As I discussed in a previous article, the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccines are two of the vaccines that worry parents the most.<br />
<br />
Now researchers have confirmed previous suspicions that the combination vaccine for these four childhood diseases, the MMRV, is even worse -- doubling your child's risk for febrile convulsions, compared to giving the two vaccines separately.<br />
<br />
Among the toddlers who received their first dose of the MMRV vaccine, most of the fevers and seizures occurred 7 to 10 days after vaccination.<br />
<br />
The researchers concluded that:<br />
<br />
"Providers who recommend MMRV should communicate to parents that it increases the risk of fever and seizure over that already associated with measles-containing vaccines."<br />
<br />
The New York Times claims that this common side effect "can be frightening" but is non-lethal. However, this statement does not necessarily tell the whole truth…<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">MMR Vaccine Linked to Inflammatory Bowel Disease</span></u></b><br />
<br />
As discussed at length in my interview with Dr. Andrew Wakefield earlier this year, his investigation led him to conclude that he could no longer support the use of the three-in-one MMR vaccine because it was not safe.<br />
<br />
In fact, he had reservations about the safety of each of the individual vaccines as well, but the triple MMR stood out as particularly problematic.<br />
<br />
"I read all the papers," he said, "and I was absolutely appalled with the quality of the safety studies of the single [measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines], and the combined MMR vaccine in particular."<br />
<br />
In addition, Dr. Wakefield's own study linked the MMR vaccine to both Crohn's disease and autism. It remains one of the most controversial studies on the topic of vaccine safety today, despite the fact that 28 additional studies from around the world support his conclusions.<br />
<br />
The interview is filled with back-story and behind the scenes information about how this vaccine research has been, and continues to be, suppressed. So if you missed it the first time, I highly recommend listening to it now.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">MMR Vaccine Linked to Brain Inflammation</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Whereas Dr. Wakefield's research shows the MMR vaccine can cause chronic inflammation in your bowels, other researchers have found links between the MMR and inflammation in other areas, such as your brain.<br />
<br />
Dr. Harold Buttram has also written about the MMR vaccine as a potential link to autism, due to its potential to cause brain inflammation. He explains:<br />
<br />
"First and perhaps foremost, MMR is incubated in chick embryo culture medium, which necessarily includes precursors of all the organ systems of the chick, including myelin basic protein.<br />
<br />
Merck Pharmaceuticals, which produces MMR vaccine, claims that all traces of the chick embryo are removed before the vaccine is released for use. This may be true, but it is probably irrelevant as it does not take into account the process of mobile genetic elements, more commonly referred to as "jumping genes." Viruses being made up entirely of genetic material, they are highly susceptible to this process.<br />
<br />
It has been shown that viruses are genetically changed by accepting genetic material from cell cultures.' The genetic imprint of the chick myelin basic protein, which is foreign to the human system because of its chick origin, may be programmed to induce antibodies against human myelin basic protein, once injected into the human system.<br />
<br />
This in turn, potentially resulting in encephalitis."<br />
<br />
So, febrile seizures may not be lethal, and may "clear up" on their own, but that's no guarantee that no harm has been done!<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">How Effective is the MMR Vaccine in Preventing Disease?</span></u></b><br />
<br />
When trying to determine the risks versus benefits of any vaccine, it's helpful to determine whether or not a vaccine works in the first place.<br />
<br />
In the United States, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises children to receive their first dose of the MMR vaccine between 12 and 18 months, and their second between the ages of 4 and 6.<br />
<br />
The MMR vaccine is supposed to provide immunity against three childhood diseases: measles, mumps and rubella. Yet in a recent mumps outbreak in New York, a whopping 77 percent of the more than 1,000 people who became ill had been vaccinated.<br />
<br />
The question that begs to be asked then is: Does the MMR vaccine -- which is one of the most controversial shots on the CDC's schedule -- even work?<br />
<br />
According to the CDC, the vaccine is somewhere between 76 to 95 percent effective. This is why a second dose is necessary, as up to 20 percent of individuals do not develop measles immunity after the first dose.<br />
<br />
Still, in the case of New York, it would appear the vaccine was more like 77 percent INEFFECTIVE against mumps.<br />
<br />
Likewise, when mumps infected more than 6,500 people in the United States in 2006, most of the cases occurred among college students who had received both doses of the MMR vaccine.<br />
<br />
At that time, just about the only people who were truly immune to mumps were older Americans who had recovered from mumps as children, and therefore had received natural, lifelong immunity.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Make Educated Decisions</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Mumps used to be a routine childhood disease. Many of you reading this likely had your turn, the virus ran its course while you stayed at home in bed, and you've been rewarded with lifelong immunity.<br />
<br />
In most cases, mumps, like many of the childhood diseases we're now vaccinating our children against, is not a serious disease.<br />
<br />
In rare cases, serious complications can develop from mumps, but you must weigh this risk against that of the vaccine. In addition, even if you get vaccinated, you may still get the mumps, which means you've accepted all the risks of the vaccine itself without receiving any health benefit whatsoever.<br />
<br />
<b>As always -- Make your decision an educated decision.</b><br />
<br />
Remember that healthy dietary habits and a robust immune system are two important factors that influence your ability to successfully combat viral assaults like mumps.

The top 8 toxic friend profiles can be found below, along with ways to handle each one.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>1. The Bubble-Burster</b> This friend is always there with bad news to counter any good news you might have. Getting married? She happens to have the average national divorce rates memorized. Also known as Debbie Downer or The Wet Blanket. This friend is unnecessary in all situations, but if immediate disposal is not an option, try limiting conversations with her, especially where news-sharing is concerned. Keep your happy news to yourself when she's around and it will magically stay happy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>2. The One-Upper</b><br /><br />This friend likes to fancy herself well-rounded or an overachiever, but she mostly lives to make others feel inferior. Mention an upcoming trip to Aspen, and you'll soon learn about her family cabin there, not to mention her countless medals and trophies for skiing. The best thing to do with people like this is ignore them. They crave approval, expecting people to envy them, and nothing will slow their nauseating self-congratulations like ambivalence. No matter how impressive their stories are, keep reactions minimal and they'll stop finding the thrill in overshadowing you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>3. The Employer</b><br /><br />You might as well be on this friend's payroll for all the wingwoman duties you perform. You break up with guys for her, never outdress her, and even carry on obligatory conversations with a guy so she can chat up his hot friend. Playing second fiddle is never fun and can cause serious damage to your self-esteem. Relationships like these are draining and she'll just have to survive without you for a weekend. You have other friends, don't you? Call them. She'll likely be threatened, but this is because she is insecure. You don't need her permission.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>4. The Predator</b><br /><br />Never leave a boyfriend, boss, or even new friend alone with this social life stealer. The Predator just cannot help wanting what others have and cannot be trusted with the special people in your life. Introduce her to your new man and before you know it, she's sitting a little too close. Made a new friend? Keep them apart or she'll be punching their numbers into her phone. Don't even think about letting her meet your boss: she'll be strolling the halls of your office in no time...and hogging the boss's attention! If you have one of these bandits in your life, treat your social life like an expensive car in a bad neighborhood...locked up tight!<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>5. The Bodyguard</b><br /><br />Whether its a guy hitting on you, a new friendship, or even an established relationship, this friend just doesn't think you're qualified to properly judge human character. She constantly feels the need to "protect" you from bad relationships, but ironically, she's the one you need protection from. Let her know that you can pick your own friendships and relationships. While you might appreciate that she has your back, remember that she's not just blocking bad relationships...you could be missing out on a lot!<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>6. The Charity Case</b><br /><br />This friend is always down on her luck and can't seem to catch a break. Whenever you think you can't take another second of her and you're ready to hit the road, she needs another favor or shoulder to whine on and you're trapped until the incident blows over. Performing your own damage control will require fighting a little fire with fire. When she calls with a favor to ask, say you're down on your luck, too. It's highly unlikely that she'll try to repay the kindness you've shown her. The Charity Case is a taker, not a giver, and she'll likely fade away in search of a new knight in shining armor...and you'll be off the hook.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>7. The Train Wreck</b><br /><br />You know you should look away, but there is something about this dramatic friend that has you hooked. She's either in legal, financial, or social trouble (drinking/drug problems, spending addictions, and abusive relationships are the most common scenarios) and it's completely, 100% her fault. People offer their help and advice everyday but she doesn't want to hear it. With such a resistant attitude, her life is be mostly private and she kindly keeps you out of her problems, right? Wrong. In fact, you always seem to be bailing her out. Even though your opinions and perspectives are not welcome, she has no problem keeping you on the phone until 3a.m. while she complains about her problems. It might be hard, especially since you obviously care about this friend, but the intervention must stop. Once she falls on her ass, there will be nothing left for her to do but get up. That's when you can start helping again.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>8. The Houdini</b><br /><br />You haven't seen this friend in a little while...and the worst part is that you don't know why. You thought things were great, the bond was strong, and you were inseperable for a little while. Suddenly, she's not calling anymore and you're seeing her around with a different crowd. The problem is that you invested time and emotion in the relationship and her fairweather friendliness has left you feeling hurt and rejected. You're jealous of her new best friend and inevitably wonder what you didn't have to offer the relationship. Take comfort in this: that new best friend is going to be in your position in a few weeks and the Houdini will be sampling a new flavor. Commitment-phobes treat people like light bulbs because they are scared of getting rejected themselves. Meanwhile, you know how to treat a friend and will have plenty of them in your lifetime...now there's something to be jealous about!<br /><br /><br /><br />Use this list wisely and refer to it everytime you begin to question a friendship. Remember, if none of your friends fit this criteria, but the relationship is still suffering, look over the list again. Could the toxic friend be you?</p></span></div>Passionately Poetiqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12807233855890732757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2800965818788441937.post-33594189719193536962010-10-15T10:52:00.001-07:002010-10-15T10:56:22.553-07:00Nivea® Body Happy Sensation®<span xmlns=""></span><br />

Well, Nivea® has a new hit product! <a href="http://nivea.com/">Nivea®</a> Body Happy Sensation is a lotion that leaves your skin feeling fresh and beautiful. The scent is very light and it actually does smell like Orange Blossoms! So it's not one of those scents that leave that weird after-smells like some lotions do. After putting it on, my skin felt instantly rejuvenated and didn't leave a feeling like I forgot to wash some soap off my skin or make me itchy. It is definitely a winner in my book and it made my skin very happy! <br />
