How to go from curly to straight, silky hair with a Flat Iron


Would you like to straighten your hair? If you have thick, naturally curly and frizzy hair, a store-bought flat iron will not work. In order to have smooth, silky, touchable hair, it is worthwhile to invest in a flat iron ordered from your favorite salon.

How to prepare for Subcutaneous Port implanted for chemo treatments

Sub Q Port aka Subcutaneous Port
Sub Q Port aka Subcutaneous Port

Should you have breast cancer or some other condition requiring chemo treatments, a Subcutaneous Port can be your friend. Another name for a Subcutaneous Port is Sub Q Port. One woman who is in her third round of chemo treatments refused to have a Sub Q Port implanted the first time around. Some of her veins collapsed and she suffered needless pain. She went through the Sub Q Port operation for rounds two and three of chemo.

What is a Subcutaneous Port?

The Sub Q port is implanted underneath the collar bone above the healthy breast. It is about the size of a quarter. The narrow tubing, called a catheter, is implanted into the Subcutaneous vein near the lung. Using a Huber Needle, chemo will be inserted directly into the Sub Q Port. The chemo will run through the Sub Q Port, through the catheter tube, and into the veins. This saves your arm from being stuck over and over again with a needle.

Your hair has grown long enough and you are thinking about getting it cut. If you have at least ten inches of hair to spare, why not donate it to either Wigs for Kids or Locks of Love so that kids who have lost their hair due to cancer, burns, or alopecia areata can wear a wig made of real hair? So now the big decision is, how do you choose between those two groups? Which organization would you rather donate your hair to?

Years ago, I donated 26 inches of hair to Wigs for Kids. My hair is long enough that I can now donate 24 inches of hair this time around. Do I send my hair to Wigs for Kids again, or do I send it to Locks of Love instead? Here is what I learned about both groups.

How to donate hair to Oil Spills program

Getting hair ready for donation
Getting hair ready for donation

If you own or work at a hair salon, you can donate cut hair and the hair you sweep up from the floor to the Hair for Oil Spills Program that is part of the organization called Matter of Trust.org. Or perhaps you are a busy mother who cuts the hair of your entire family. Rather than throwing that hair away, wouldn’t you like to do something to help our environment?

The group called “Matter of Trust” will weave together all excess hair into a hair mat that helps soak up oil when there is an oil spill. Since there are hundreds of oil spills every year, just think what a difference your donated hair clippings will make.

They will also take pet hair, old nylon stockings with or without runs, waste wool, feathers, and natural fiber donors. See how this program works.

How to Recognize Spirit or Angelic Intervention When It Happens

Is there ever a time when we are seeing an angel or a spirit rather than a flesh-and-blood human? In a time of need, have you ever had someone render assistance? Later on, did you justify that timely intervention with words or phrases that ranged from lucky break or timely coincidence to mystifying to miracle?
