Yes, homeschoolers can go to Prom!<img alt="" class="yiv1203111202spotlight" height="640" id="yui_3_2_0_1_133641822596075104" src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/561275_3517337886352_1059126722_32709968_399436238_n.jpg" style="height: 306px; width: 471px;" width="960" /><br /><br />One of the bizarre questions I was
repeatedly asked about homeschooling, even back when we announced our plan to
homeschool 18 years ago, was, "What about prom?" (Really - as if the mom of a
little child thinks that is a pressing problem :)<br /><br />But I always tried to
answer, politely, something on the order of, 'Prom is not the purpose of high
school, a good education is our goal', and that we wanted to focus on that
aspect.<br /><br />So, fast forward a few years (well, 18 of them) and our
always-been- traditionally- homeschooled son DID end up going to prom. (Twice,
actually.) <br /><br />So, I pondered, do I mention this to my fellow HSA parents,
or be reticent about it. I decided to post it, because homeschoolers need to
know they can do it all, if they want to....(and if the timing is right). Just
like 'school' kids, they need to meet the right girl (boy), at the right time,
(spring of senior year is a good time!), and from the right school (some schools
don't allow outsiders at prom - most do). There is no promise these stars will
all align at the right moment, whether public-, private-, or home- schooling,
but life works that way sometimes. <br /><br />Homeschooling takes all of us in
different paths. For our son, swimming lead to friendships scattered around the
country, leading to a friendship with a very special young woman - and to prom -
in Cincinnati. So for those of you with little ones - when you are asked that
prom question, just say, "Sure they can go to prom!" and relax - follow your
homeschool path where it takes you, and enjoy the trip! <br /><br />Connie Sholdra<br />

My life list has items checked off but now I'm inspired to pursue them more vigorously.<br />
<br />
One that is checked off is ride a camel. Riding a camel was on my granny's list of things she wanted to do. I don't think she ever did it. In 2006 while I was in Israel, I had the opportunity to pay $6, I think it was, to ride a camel. The ride was just around the parking lot on the Mount of Olives but hey I "rode" a camel. I have a picture of my riding a camel on my bathroom shelf. A similiar list item is to ride an elephant, perhaps in India. I recently was contacted by a CouchSurfer from India. He is an elephant owner, who takes tourists on elephant rides and he also allows CouchSurfers to stay with him. How cool is that! <br />
<br />
Watch the video below and leave me things on your list that might inspire me to do what's on your life wish list too! <br />

One of the kids' friends left their cat sack in our house. Grant took some of my red duct tape and made some alterations. <br />
<br />
The friend who left this had a good laugh, BUT he first guessed it was me! No way! I wouldn't have done it. I'm not that anti-Coug. Grant is a big University of Washington, Husky fan. You should see how he reacts to the Oregon State Ducks!!</div>

A recent testimony of faith comes through guiding our 19 year old daughter, Noel. She had been searching for a more permanent employment than the babysitting and housecleaning she was currently doing. She was offered a job at a local bakery but once she started training they wanted her to work on Sundays, our Sabbath. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f">

My husband and I asked her to pray about it. She balked a little and said she needed the money. We knew she did but we operate on a faith budget and God's peace above all. She came to me the next morning and told me she wasn't at peace about it. <br />
<br />
We encouraged her that when you honor God, he will honor you. She was eventually told they were going to give the hours to someone who could work Sundays. Last week she received a phone call from a dental hygienist, who has agreed to let her job shadow on a consistent basis. She had been diligently seeking employment and a job shadow opportunity simultaneously. She is studying to become a hygienist currently and this experience may help her get selected for the dental school of her choice. <br />
<br />
Although, it isn't a paid position we see God's hand in this. Her babysitting opportunities have increased and she is available to job shadow because she isn't working at the bakery. She concluded, "Maybe this is what God had in mind!" I agree. She will make an excellent hygienist and maybe the bakery hours will work out later. <br />
<br />
Grant Taylor: I want God to bless this team so much people will talk about what He did. But it means we gotta give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him. And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way we honor Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm askin' you... What are you living for? I resolve to give God everything I've got, then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me. Facing the Giants, 2006<br />

I think this works best with "dirty hair" or hair with holding product in it. In this picture my hair is fairly clean and it's slick. This is a trick that takes some practice to get the right tension to hold well and not hurt your head from pulling the "netting" over. I'm still working on perfecting it. My hair may be too long and heavy for this to hold for very long. I can easily stabilize it with a pencil or chopstick.

Welcome to my world. Here I go...breaking the mold again, living outside the "norm".<br />
<br />Last spring, my two eldest blessings had graduated from homeschool high school. I wanted to take a memorable family trip before their life paths took them this way or that, farther from the family, be it schedule or geography. I had been saving money from my ESL Homestay tutoring but we still had a very tight budget. I was exploring alternatives for lodging other than in hotels. Here comes CouchSurfing.....<br />
<br />I can now look back in time and remember coming across a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "CouchSurfing" on it. But at the time I thought, ha ha, it was some kind of statement about being lazy, like a couch potato, or another term for bed-hopping. I took note of it enough to remember it now but at the time I didn't "get it". I do now. <br />
<br />In July, one of my ESL students and I were at the top of the Seattle Space Needle waiting for the sun to set so we could see both the city in the daylight and the night lights of Seattle from above. Sitting next to us were two young men. One was speaking with an accent and I was trying to not-so-obviously detect from where. Alas, it was French. My student happen to be a darling young beauty from France. She struck up a conversation with the strapping young man and found out he was couch surfing. As we descended the Space Needle expedition we started talking about couch surfing. I thought I'd be fun and adventurous to meet strangers and be so bold to ask if me and my friend could crash on their couch but I would be afraid to do it by myself as a woman. And I don't think I would sleep very well with my antennae up throughout the night. Okay, so I tuck that into my brain somewhere to be retrieved later this summer.<br />
<br />Seaching for lodging alternatives in August, I considered hostels. My husband and I stayed in one that was completely empty except for us in Maui. It was cheap and we had the place to ourselves. That was before children and the flight tickets were a $99 special that I spent the night in the airport to get. That is another story. I stayed in a hostel in Israel with a rather large group from my church. Again, great price and we were the only group in the place. But taking my five children was way to expensive to stay in a hostel, I might as well get two hotel rooms. That goes without saying, I don't want them in some hostel environments anyway.<br />
<br /><a href="http://airbnb.com/">AirBnB.com</a> is another alternative. Again, it could cost the same as a hotel so that didn't fly either. What about this couch surfing thing? Hmmm... Let me see what some people say about it on the web.<br />
<br />The search begins. I find that there is an organization that is called <a href="http://couchsurfing.org/">CouchSurfing.org</a>. I did a lot of reading on their website. I learn they have a system of checks and balances to help everyone determine if the host and guest are a good fit. You can accept or decline. You can just meet up at a coffeeshop or meet up at an organized local event. This is intriguing. I set up my profile and to see what happens. (I did talk to my darling husband, and then to the kids, before opening our home to strangers. They are already use to it anyway, with my ESL homestay students arriving every so often.) Within three days I had three requests to stay at our house. This was exciting. What have I gotten us into now?!<br />
<br />The first CouchSurfer was a sweet woman in her 30s from Taiwan, then an 18 year old young man from Ukraine, who fit right in with the family, and then a disgruntled guest. I didn't want to be discouraged from the hard-to-please. So I took the kids to a coffee meet up meeting in Seattle to hear from others about their experiences. It wasn't easy breaking into the conversation, but once I did I was happy to have gone. Soon after, I was a day tour guide for a couple from France who just wanted a local to show them around. They didn't speak much English and I don't speak much French. We took a picture together, waved and said our au revoirs.<br />
<br />The big jump was finding a big enough couch for my five kids and myself. My husband would be joining us later on the trip, flying down to meet us in San Diego. <br />
<br />I found a math teacher CouchSurfer host in northern California, who was a member of a church I was very familiar. His profile only offered a couch for four. I sent him a message anyway, asking if he would stretch his couch for us. He did! <br />
<br />We arrived late in the night. I tentatively went into the apartment, taking in the surroundings and evaluating if I felt safe. It wasn't but a few moments and we were all smiles. Introductions were made, me, my kids, "Frederic" and his roommates. We stayed up even later into the night talking, sharing and praying together. <br />

"Frederic" opens his home to many people who come to northern California to attend church conferences, and he rents bedrooms to male students attending the church ministry school. There are three futons in the living room and two outside in the gazebo on the small patio. After much talk, brownies and ice cream we eventually fell into bed exhausted from the long hours on the road, and the thrill of our first CouchSurfing gig. We are now officially CouchSurfers! Three of us slept inside and three slept outside in the still warm summer air. <br />
<br />
The next day when we were back on the road my youngest son, 12 years old, confessed he was somewhat unsure of CouchSurfing at a stranger's home. Now, that he's been through it, he reveals "CouchSurfing is great!"<br />
<br />
Last Wednesday, our latest CouchSurfers left to go back to Canada. We have hosted CouchSurfers now just six months later from: Taiwan, China, Ukraine, Korea, and Canada. In the next few weeks, we will host CouchSurfers from Germany and Sweden. <br />

Two deaths in the family. That's why I haven't blogged in over a year! My father-in-law lost his battle with cancer and I had a miscarriage. Tough stuff. I still find myself getting weepy when I think of the loss of either one or both. Seeing my mother-in-law find her way without her life partner since she was 18 years old has been inspiring. She has made bold steps to create a new normal for herself. I can't imagine what life would be like to lose a soul-mate after living together for over 50 years. Ugh! I know my dear father-in-law is in a much better place, my hope is in Heaven, and with Jesus the Christ.<br />
<br />
The miscarriage, that is too tough to write about yet. I am teary-eyed just thinking about it. My sister, my cousin and my niece all had healthy babies last year. They all recently turned one year old. Again tough stuff for me, but I am thankful to be surrounded by them all. I love them. The babies, they bring me such longing in my own heart but yet overwhelming love swells up to watch each new development in their lives. They are all now walking, a bit like Frankenstein.<br />
<br />
Both my husband and I have gained emotional weight. Crud! I have never weighed so much outside of being pregnant (with my only birthed son.) I once thought, after hearing that Rene Zellweger gained 30 pounds to play Bridget Jones in <em>Bridget Jones' Diary</em>, that I wanted to do that, gain weight...and then lose it quickly, like she did. Just to prove I could do it. Up to that point I hadn't battle with weight issues. That was several years ago, and who thinks that kind of thing. Wanting to gain weight to lose it! What was I thinking!? Now, I've gone and done it, gained not quite 30 pounds but close enough to warrant a GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND MOVE IT alarm. Yesterday, Stud Muffin and I went for an hour walk. You can't walk for an hour let alone 30 seconds from our house without encountering HILLS. Therefore, my butt is sore, and my quads are sore going up and down our stairs. <br />
<br />
My peanut M-n-M savant husband won the M-n-M prize two years in a row for guessing the number closest to how many M-n-Ms were the a jar at the Christmas party. Side note: He also received five pounds of his favorite candy/peanut M-n-Ms as Christmas gifts. I just measured out 1/4 cup of M-n-Ms. It is 17 candies and 220 calories. Do you know how many times our hands have been in that jar since he won it? Too many "just a handful" of 220 calories EACH! It takes running two ten-minute miles to burn off that "handful" of M-n-Ms. <br />

Despite her great loss, my mother-in-law has taken on a host of new challenges at 76 years old! She is doing yoga on Mondays with my sister-in-law. She walks everyday. She has lost considerable weight and she is eating well. She is volunteering at a non-profit shop for breast cancer. And she is a breast cancer surviver. I know her heart still aches for her husband yet she has found a way to work through it and to shine in a new way. <br />

What will be the spark to light my fire? I don't know yet. I keep facilitating between being cynical about life and being hopeful of the future. I do believe that the cynical voice is diminishing and the hopeful is re-emerging. More time will tell. I have ideas of what I want to try in the new year. Whatever it is children will most likely be involved, somehow. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650538069256324675.post-76642313294686568702010-12-07T15:25:00.000-08:002011-12-27T20:28:10.487-08:00Shoes Off or Shoes On?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We generally take our shoes off in our house. I like the idea of keeping the stuff from the outside ground from coming into our inside world. There are numerous things that may have attached themselves to anyone's shoes, such as: manure, spit, pesticides, gum, bug guts, seeds, chemicals, etc.<br />
<br />
We allow guests to leave their shoes on if they are more comfortable that way. I also make available socks or slippers for guests. We don't have new carpet but we do sit and play on the carpet quite frequently. I hope to keep it fairly clean and non-toxic. I'm not an obsessive neat freak but I will do what I can to prevent uncleanliness.<br />
<br />
I like the Japanese tradition (other countries do it too) of not wearing shoes in the house. We haven't always practiced this and sometimes it's just unpractical to be taking shoes on and off when working on projects or bringing in several bags of groceries. <br />
<br />
I like to take my shoes off but not everybody does. On this one I choose to conform. I will take my shoes off at your house if you prefer it that way. Sometimes I even plan ahead and pack thick socks or slippers for visiting where I know I will be shoeless. <br />
<br />
I'm thinking of posting a sign that says, "Care to bare your 'souls'?" I think it is a kind way to let visitors be informed of our general policy without demanding it.<br />
<br />
Do you have any other kind way to request "No shoes"?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650538069256324675.post-41767616439589026402010-11-05T15:53:00.000-07:002010-11-05T15:53:11.811-07:00Emergency Disaster Check-up TimeTime to set your clocks back on November 7th, 2010. The fire department encourgages everyone to check your smoke/carbon monoxide detector batteries. You should have one near the bedrooms and at least one on every floor of your home. This is also a very good time to go through your emergency disaster stash. Here in the Northwest US we are suppose to be in for a more extreme winter than we are accustomed. <br />
<br />
I recently graduated from the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program in our area. It is a nation wide program to help prepare citizens to help their communities in case of a man-made or natural disaster where the police and/or fire departments are overwhelmed with the vastness of the disaster and cannot help the masses. <br />
<br />
During my CERT class we were told it is better to have an out of state family contact east to west rather than north to south. If cell phone circuits are locally overwhelmed during a disaster for whatever reason it is more difficult to contact others locally than long-distance, and more easy to contact east-west. If everyone in your family contacts the same person out-of-state you may be able to check everyone's status better through your contact than to call them direct locally.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of essentials to have in your personal/family disaster emergency kit from <a href="http://www.ready.gov/america/getakit/">http://www.ready.gov/america/getakit/</a><br />
<br />
You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days. In addition, basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may be cut off for days, or even a week or longer. <br />
<br />
<br />
Recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit: <br />
<br />
Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation <br />
<br />
Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food <br />
<br />
Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both <br />
<br />
Flashlight and extra batteries <br />
<br />
First aid kit <br />
<br />
Whistle to signal for help <br />
<br />
Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place <br />
<br />
Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation <br />
<br />
Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities <br />
<br />
Can opener for food (if kit contains canned food) <br />
<br />
Local maps <br />
<br />
Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger <br />
<br />
Additional Items to Consider Adding to an Emergency Supply Kit: <br />
<br />
Prescription medications and glasses <br />
<br />
Infant formula and diapers <br />
<br />
Pet food and extra water for your pet <br />
<br />
Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container <br />
<br />
Cash or traveler's checks and change <br />
<br />
Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container. You can use the Emergency Financial First Aid Kit (EFFAK) - PDF, 277Kb) developed by Operation Hope, FEMA and Citizen Corps to help you organize your information. <br />
<br />
Emergency reference material such as a first aid book or information from www.ready.gov. <br />
<br />
Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person. Consider additional bedding if you live in a cold-weather climate. <br />
<br />
Complete change of clothing including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes. Consider additional clothing if you live in a cold-weather climate. <br />
<br />
Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper – When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners. <br />
<br />
Fire Extinguisher <br />
<br />
Matches in a waterproof container <br />
<br />
Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items <br />
<br />
Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils, paper towels <br />
<br />
Paper and pencil <br />
<br />

</div><br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">A simple question, yet it can spark what becomes a familiar argument throughout a child's school years.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Haggling over homework is nothing new (most parents can remember protesting their own responsibilities on school nights), but homework battles in the 21st century are aggravated by a culture flooded with technical distractions.</div><br />
According to recent research, 97 percent of youth play video games; nearly three quarters of them have an online social networking profile (Facebook, MySpace, etc.); 91 percent have a cell phone; and the typical teen sends an average of 10 text messages an hour. Is it any wonder parents will repeatedly hear their children complain that homework is boring and pointless?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Even with the advent of computers in the classroom, formal education doesn't even come close to holding a student's attention like the competition. Fortunately, you don't have to be as tech-savvy as your kids to keep them engaged in their schoolwork. Even if the assignments are boring and pointless, you can use these opportunities to help your children develop the skills and attitudes they'll need to be successful. You can get them thinking about the way they learn best, how they can motivate themselves and what it will take to succeed. You can teach them to be confident learners. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I wrote my first book, The Way They Learn, my twins were toddlers. They are now in their sophomore year in college. During all those years, the learning-styles strategies I first advocated have remained effective. Let's take a quick look at these timeless techniques.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ask more questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Encourage your children to take responsibility for their success. Keep your questions brief and positive — and always assume the best. For example:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•Would you like my help?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•What grade do you want to earn?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•What do you think it would take to accomplish that grade?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•How will I know your homework is being done?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
•How do you want to be reminded? Help them design their individual study space.<br />
<br />
Don't underestimate the importance of finding the right environment — even if it includes some elements that would make you uncomfortable if you were studying. Every child is going to be different. In our household, my son Mike usually did his homework at his desk in solitude, with no noise and no distractions. His brother, Rob, on the other hand, needed to be listening to music with headphones, lying on the floor with something to eat or drink and taking plenty of short breaks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The most important question to ask yourself: What's the point? If the point is to get the homework done, let your child propose how he or she wants to do it, and simply require proof that it works. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Help them focus on their strengths.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For auditory learners, sounds are important — and the lack of sound can sometimes be just as critical. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They may say: Could I ask you a question? Could I talk to you? I need to say something! Give them a chance to talk about what they need to do. Ask brief questions, and be patient with long answers. The more they talk it through, the greater the chance they will get their homework done. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then help them figure out the best environment for doing homework — challenge them to find the least distracting place. When they are working, do your best not to interrupt them, and keep outside noise levels to a minimum.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For visual learners, it's incredibly helpful for them to picture what they're doing or see an example of what's expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They may say: Could you show me how to do this? I don't see what you mean! Could you look at this? Help them create pictures in their minds of what their tasks should look like. Ask to see their homework assignment — sometimes just looking through it again will help them remember what they're supposed to do. Offer to provide a visual homework reminder — maybe a calendar, a whiteboard or a pop-up reminder on their computer or cell phone. Remember, just giving them verbal reminders probably won't have much effect.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For kinesthetic learners, the greatest challenge can be sitting still long enough to do their homework. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
They may say: What's the point? It's boring! For these active and restless learners, spending any more than five or 10 minutes on something that seems like just another pesky chore can be perceived as torture. Their best chance for achievement often involves taking frequent short breaks and keeping some part of their body moving. Keep in mind that the point is not to have them sitting still to do their homework; the point is to get the homework done. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For learners who are wired to be analytic (step-by-step, detail-oriented, predictable), it's important to find the best place for concentrating. They tend to thrive in a quiet, uncluttered space where they can be alone and uninterrupted. They often like to do their homework on a predictable schedule and rarely request help. Make sure they are clear about the assignment deadline. Don't hover or nag — but get their cooperation in coming up with a method of accountability.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For learners who are wired to be global (big picture, intuitive, contextual), it may be easier to study when they're not alone. Globals are naturally drawn to working cooperatively with others, and if they sit alone, they may struggle to concentrate on the task. One tried-and-true solution is to make sure everyone works while the global works. If your whole family can do something quiet and productive (reading, working on the computer, etc.) while your global child is studying, it's easier for him or her to stay focused.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Homework will continue to be a challenge for parents and kids. But developing and nurturing a relationship with each of our children can build a solid foundation for educational success. The first step in this journey comes from understanding our children's design and strengths and appreciating the unique way they learn. <br />

Free bread and more is what this ministry is all about. The church volunteeers pick up day old bread from local bakeries and distribute it to the low-income neighborhood all year round. With much prayer and the grace of God the neighborhood has been transformed by the love of Jesus expressed through the people here one to another. The neighbors and the police say how much better the area is since this ministry has been a present. It is just over a year old and amazing stories of friendship and heart changed are the results. Practical and effective, this ministry is serving hearts with love.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1650538069256324675.post-42970958133949566392010-06-29T15:20:00.000-07:002010-07-06T13:04:03.422-07:00Healthy Choices with Pure Botanical Hair Color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UKpZOPUnXUItWeI7jpOhjM23QsVZK6jIghnCUjdi8p2f8oYVwpJ-jtcmnjqmXb2LfNone0Z9wXjdf2I4S0dNYGZyChS0f0JbSaqwOIC5OgotyW7vodJYscP23SiHDqu-xGoeybIgRllg/s1600/DSCF0072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ru="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UKpZOPUnXUItWeI7jpOhjM23QsVZK6jIghnCUjdi8p2f8oYVwpJ-jtcmnjqmXb2LfNone0Z9wXjdf2I4S0dNYGZyChS0f0JbSaqwOIC5OgotyW7vodJYscP23SiHDqu-xGoeybIgRllg/s320/DSCF0072.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My gray hair had been peeking out for several weeks now. Three weeks ago I miscarried and went searching for answers to why this might have happened. One of the things I discovered was that the habit of coloring our hair every 4-6 weeks can be extremely damaging to our reproductive systems and causing cancer. Three women in my immediate circle who regularly color their hair and work with hair dyes had breast cancer or a genetic birth defect baby. I had switched from a permanent hair color (Revlon ColorSilk Medium Golden Brown to the non-permanent color Clairol , Natural Instincts, Navajo Bronze because it says right on the box "healthier way to color" (versus the leading level 3). Both of which have a rating of 9 and 10 respectively by <a href="http://www.ewg.org/">http://www.ewg.org/</a> for toxicity for cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, allergies/immune toxicity, and more.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have bought botanical (plant based) hair color before thinking I was going to use it. I read the instructions and was discouraged at the laborious process. I gave the box away to a friend who was going to use it for a craft project. This time I was determined to give it a try. I bought Light Mountain Natural, Color the Gray, Light Brown. This has a EWG (Environmental Working Group rating of 1 for toxicity. Yay!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I read the instructions and watched several YouTube videos on how to do it. Next I needed a block of time to 'getter done'. We had been swamped with baseball practice and tournaments. I was determined to make Monday 'the day'. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The first step seems to me to be a primer step for coloring the gray hair. Then you put on the real color. After the first step I didn't think I was going to have enough color for step 2. I went to the small local health food store and they didn't have what I needed. I had to run to the larger farther away health store to get another box of color, Light Mountain Natural, Light Brown. I mixed both batches and let that cure for 3 hours. In the past my hair has been stubborn taking chemical color so I knew it could take longer than usual. I tried the best I could for quite some time getting the mixture on my hair in a systematic way. I felt like I was dealing with dreadlocks. It was heavy and smelly. I called my oldest son into the bathroom to take some pictures, thinking I want this documented. I may never do this again. He was also helpful in pointing out some missed spots. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once I got all the color on from two packages I wrapped plastic wrap over it, then a Turbie Twist. I went to my room to hide out for three hours. By the time the three hours were up it was 9:40pm. I took a very long shower rinsing out all that product. It was gritty near the end. The water was nearly clear but there was gritty pieces left. I ended my shower thinking that was good enough. As I towel dried my hair the grit kept falling out. I don't consistently blow dry my hair, I mostly let it air dry. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After combing my hair out with a wide toothed pick I went to bed. The smell was overwhelming, something like a campfire when someone puts green leaves in the fire. When I gave my son a hug good-night he commented on the powerful smell. I thought it would dissipate. I tried to sleep with it anyway. It was too much. I had to get up and blow it dry. It also helped get rid of more of the left over grits, instead of leaving them on my pillow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The smell isn't too bad now, much more subtle. It hasn't been 24 hours yet. That's when I can wash it using shampoo and conditioner. After a few days, the oxidizing of the color should be done. I will update this post with pictures then.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

(July 2, 2010) The color is a little lighter where I had previously had bleached highlights. The gray is lighter and redder than the overall color. I don't mind this effect as it blends in well. I'm writing this a week after coloring and the color has gotten even better. My hair feels healthier and I will do it again regardless of the laborious process. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfCtBI2hjcN4mKNqHbp26h8b-sxNJWOvv9Lqa2Y0BKFg9D57hecF2aIF4vrethqbFD5_YnTWD2Uj8r5Y_VlhYb5eU3fdNSfdibNTyubM4mzx2OLQTpulCJg14I5wWPlA7jgp0YCnGGioU/s1600/DSCF0005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" rw="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixfCtBI2hjcN4mKNqHbp26h8b-sxNJWOvv9Lqa2Y0BKFg9D57hecF2aIF4vrethqbFD5_YnTWD2Uj8r5Y_VlhYb5eU3fdNSfdibNTyubM4mzx2OLQTpulCJg14I5wWPlA7jgp0YCnGGioU/s320/DSCF0005.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
