What are the Best Hair Serums for Dry, Damaged Hair? 1. Suave Keratin Infusion Smoothing Hair Serum One symptom of having dry and damaged hair is frizz. Frizz is often caused as the natural keratin in your hair is depleted overtime. This Suave formula is light-weight, and infused with keratin.

Much like the Slow Food Movement, which emphasizes growing your own food, sustainably and organically, cooking it without microwaves—or not cooking it at all, as “raw” foodists do—and taking the time to create beautiful, healthy and delicious meals, The Slow Flower Movement calls us to plant and tend to flowers in an organic, sustainable, and life-affirming manner. In “Beyond Slow” we not only grow our own—or buy local—we create a flower “meal” using the art of ikebana (Japanese Flower Arranging) to honor the ingredients of flowers, leaves, and branches....
So… for my husband’s birthday this year, I decided to re-create the birthday bag! I started with a plain paper bag, and tucked all this loot inside! It was just a few, inexpensive things that I know he loves, like MINT M&M’s (mmmmm! You want some now, don’t you?!?). And remember that plain paper bag? I spruced it right up with a darling printable that says, “Birthday Bag – Favorite Things for My Favorite Guy....
My granddaughters, though, took to it with vigor and rigor. Starting first thing in the morning, patiently and gleefully piecing it together. With the whole family joining in, after several weeks, the picture began to reveal itself. So proud were they of what they were accomplishing, they wanted it framed. Me? Still not so much into it. As we neared completion, it became clear that 10 pieces were missing! The maker informed me that there is a form online to fill out....
Though environmentalists have yet to register the fact, human longevity has now become a central factor in the demography of industrial society, one of the most rapid and massive changes on the part of any species, let alone the species that purports to be the most dominant on the planet. Acknowledging this transition is as simple as recognizing that elders see life from a very different angle than their children, and so choose different priorities....

Kabat-Zinn recounts this incident to illustrate that a crucial reason for the acceptance and spread of MBSR is that, in essence, it’s simply about helping people. However, another key component is the way that he and Saki Santorelli, director of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society, have protected the integrity of the eight-week program—now completed by more than eighteen thousand people and offered in over 250 hospitals—without trying to exert strong control over it....

No one would successfully summit Mt. Everest for another 30 years, and many lives would be lost in the pursuit of this elusive goal—including Mallory’s own during the 1924 expedition. But his words have lived on. Perhaps one reason for the almost iconic nature of Mallory’s line is that his words are both so satisfying and unsatisfying at the same time. In some ways, they provide a complete answer, yet they also leave us begging for more....
Thin Hair Problems and Styles That Work 1. Focus on texture for thin hair problems. One way to manage thin hair is by bringing the focus somewhere else entirely. Instead of worrying about the thickness of your strands, try focusing on the texture of your hair. A few pumps of mousse, like Dove Style+Care Volume Amplifier Mousse combed through your damp hair will give hair of any length and thickness a little extra volume and wave....
Here are three ways to feel refreshed and renewed, without the resolutions: 1) First, befriend your life as it is It’s common to daydream about an idyllic and successful future (who amongst us hasn’t practiced their Oscar acceptance speech?) but spending too much time thinking about how things could be “one day” prevents us from appreciating how things are right now. Learning to befriend all moments places us firmly in the life we are living, rather than the ideal life we are prone to imagine or strive towards....
