Although we use henna as a hair color, it has wonderful side benefits. It thickens hair, and leaves it silky and strong. But you have to buy pure henna (or henna mixed with plant extracts that are clearly labeled). And you must do a strand test first.

A strand test will tell you two critical things:

1) whether you will like the final color, and

2) how long to leave the henna on to get that color.

Because henna is often left on the hair for an hour or more, it would be wise to set aside a large chunk of time. Between the preparation of the henna, the strand test, the application, and the leave-in time, you might want to x out an afternoon for the project

Who Can Use Henna

The best heads for henna are brunettes and dark blonds. Hair that is naturally very dark will look smashing with red henna highlights.

Got gray? Contrary to popular opinion, you can get good results with henna. To go brunette, choose a henna that’s been mixed with brown taken from safe plant powders like walnut, clove, and even a little Indigo. (But use common sense – if you’re allergic to walnuts or sensitive to clove, don’t use these products.) If you’d rather turn your gray hair blond, find henna that’s been mixed with rhubarb root or other natural ingredients.

Henna Color Choices

The reds are the most used, have the least amount of additives, and – if they are pure (read the label, research the Internet, join a henna forum) are completely safe. The browns and blonds are fun, too.

Henna does not lighten hair. It won’t lift the color, like commercial dyes can do. So you must get a shade that somewhat matches your own, or is darker. Brunettes can easily go red, blonds can go brunette or red. But there’s no way a brunette can go blond.

A Few Words of Caution

Do not use henna over commercially colored hair. It’s safest to wait at least 2 months after a commercial dye job, before using henna. Some women have had no problems waiting only 1 month, but again, that’s what the strand test is for.

About a week or so before you’re planning to henna, use a clarifying shampoo. That will help strip out the old color.

Be sure you’re buying a brand of henna that does not contain metallic salts. These are extremely unhealthy. They may be labeled on the box as compound henna dye, or they may not be listed at all.

How can you tell if your henna contains metallic salts if they’re not listed in the ingredients? If your strand test leaves your hair swatch brittle or dried-out, or if the color “takes” very quickly, that probably means it contains metallic salts. Don’t use it.

Black henna is alright to use as long as it’s made with Indigo. Avoid PPD Black Henna, as it contains Para-Phenylenediamine – a dye – which is extremely harmful.

What to Buy

The safest henna is body-art quality henna. But there are also many well-known, well-used, safe and ethically labeled packaged hair hennas. Just use common sense: If there are ingredients listed that you are unfamiliar with, write them down, go home, and run them through your search engine.

Henna does not have a long shelf life. Don’t buy it and then keep it around forever – it will lose its potency. You can seal it and freeze it, though, and it will last at least a year.

Now for the Fun

Many women consider the preparation of henna to be a ritual. The plant-based dye looks like a green powder, and has a peculiar fragrance, kind of like hay. The odor goes away in a day or so.

Assuming you have a box of pure red henna, empty it into a glass or plastic bowl. If you’ve bought it in bulk, use about 1 cup. Never use metal utensils, bowls, or even hairclips when mixing and applying.

Now, boil up some water. Pour the boiling water into the henna, a little at a time. Stir. Keep doing this until you get a paste consistency. Add a couple of pre-beaten eggs if you want, to keep the consistency sticky. Many women add a half cup of strong coffee to tone down the red a little. If you add coffee, use less boiling water. You don’t want the mixture to end up drippy.

Put a cream or oil around your hairline to keep the henna from coloring your ears and forehead. And don’t forget the gloves (or you’ll also get red hands!).

Apply the paste to clean, dry hair. If it’s your first henna treatment, saturate the hair completely. Then wrap it all up with either a plastic bag or some plastic wrap. On top of all that, you might want to wrap a towel, just so you don’t frighten the children. Some women use a heated towel. Here’s why you absolutely must have done the strand test: It’s the only way to know how long to leave the henna on your head. It could be anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours or more.

When the timer rings, hit the shower. The whole process is messy, so don’t make neatness an issue or you’ll go nuts. Rinse the henna out – no need to shampoo. Finish with an organic, non-animal tested conditioner. Your color should last for 2 or 3 months, except for root growth.

And you’re done. There will be a lot of clean-up involved, but you’ll have awesome, silky, strong, healthy red hair. (Or whatever color you choose.) Once you start using henna, you might find you love it so much you’ll never go back to anything else.

This is a short clip of my Grandiose Candle Factory in Bristol Wisconsin in the summer of 2005. I had an Inventory of over 8000 pounds of wax , more than 150 pounds of fragrance oils. Three big wax melter’s and many other arts and crafts . Oh yea a pallet of Incense sticks , and a disco ball. Many of the candles shown where experiments. I kept this Factory cook-in for 3 years until The Building was sold to the new evil landlords….That was the day Vahan’s Candle Factory Died…Currently Vahan is making Soy candles and Incense in an other location in Wisconsin

There are two major types of washing machines, the top loader and the front loader. The top loading washing machine is the traditional type of washing machine that are found in most homes. They are called such because the bin where you place your laundry opens at the top of the machine.

On the other hand, front load washing machines were used before mostly for commercial purposes and these were commonly seen in laundromats. Unlike the top loader, the front load machine has a tub which opens at the front, thus the name. However, in the recent years, the front loader has gained much popularity and is now widely used in households.

No matter what type of washing machine you are using, you should give it ample care and maintenance. A previous article talked about cleaning a top loader. This time, this article is going to talk about the proper ways of cleaning a front loading washing machine. Here are some basic tips that will give you a better front loader.

Try draining it completely

Unlike top loaders which can be drained thoroughly, front load washing machines do not drain completely as the drain pipe in the latter is located at its side. With that design, some water is bound to be left inside the washer or tub. Sometimes, these remaining water may be the cause of that funky odor you have been smelling lately. To avoid this, try draining it out completely. If it does not drain out the hose, well, you can try draining it manually.

Let the moisture escape

Make it a habit to always leave the door to the washer open. Unless, of course, you are washing your laundry. Sometimes moisture is trapped inside and it causes the musty smell. Trapped moisture inside the washer is also a very attractive breeding place for molds and mildew not to mention germs and other harmful microorganism.

Use high-efficiency detergent

The kind of detergent you use is also very helpful in cleaning the front loader’s tub. No, I’m not saying that you should scrub the tub with detergent, that may cause in more lime deposits. Anyway, you should try buying high efficiency detergent, which produce less suds and less fragrance because of their high concentration.

Suds are a big factor to why you may have difficulty draining water out of the tub of your front loading washing machine. The detergent suds mix with water and make it thicker. Also, suds that are left inside the tub will harden and will cause lime deposits in the tub. Sudsy water may look cute and all but they cause problems. To avoid these problems, well, avoid the suds.

Wipe the inside of the tub

If you have the luxury of time, you can do this every after you finish doing the laundry. This way, you can be sure that the inside of the tub is really dry and that no detergent suds nor fabric conditioner remnants are there. There may also be some dirt inside the tub which came from your laundry. Clean these dirt and the like unless you want them mixing with your clothes the next time you do your laundry.

You also have to be careful in cleaning each and every nook and cranny inside the tub that may collect water and moisture. Even a little amount of moisture can lead to disaster. Remember, the enemy here are microorganisms. They are the ones to blame for dirty clothes and that musty smell. Clean even the hard to reach areas. However, if you cannot do this every after doing the laundry, you can try doing this twice a month. Then again, the more times you do it, the better.

Clean the drain pump filter

The drain pump filter is one of the parts of the front loading washing machine that receives the dirty work. Over time, you can only imagine how much dirty water and the like accumulated in the filter. Water that is never drained is still there, because where else would they go, right? Suds and all the other dirt filtered from the clothes are also there.

The drain pump filter, which is usually located at the bottom of the machine, can be taken by pulling out the drain plug. Remember to put a bucket or anything else that can catch water underneath the drain hose before pulling it out. Take out the filter and clean it. Doing this, you did not only clean the drain pump, you will also make the draining process faster without all those obstructions.

If you want to keep down costs at your baby shower, you might want to consider making your own simple, but appealing baby shower favors. With a little bit of imagination and creativity, you could make pretty baby shower favors that your guests will love, and that don’t cost the earth. Call some of your friends to help you make handmade personalized favors and you’re all set.

The tips below are so easy to make you can have a hundred favors ready in just a few hours.

Take small sized plastic bottles, and use these to fill with luxurious treats for guests. Colored and scented bath salts are a great idea. Choose from fragrances that include Jojoba, almond oil and aloe Vera. Or buy a large container of sweet scented hand lotion, and fill each bottle. Tie the top with a pink or blue ribbon, or use a lace ribbon to tie a bow. A satin ribbon wrapped elegantly around works just as well.

Give your guests diaper baby gift basket favors to take home. Take a new born sized diaper, and line the inside with tissue. Now fill with treats and candies and mints. Use a drawstring to draw close tight, and attach a little tag thanking your guest for attending the shower. Your guests will find the idea behind the diaper baby gift basket ingenious.

For a variation of the diaper theme, take small new born baby booties (you’ll find these at online stores that sell baby gifts) and fill each with treats. Use the string to draw shut, and place in a large basket at the entrance, so people can pick a booty as they come in.

Buy empty glass jars in bulk, and fill with bubble bath, bath salts, body or hand lotion, or shower gel. The bottles are very inexpensive, and the goodies inside will please the most jaded guest. Remember to add a festive touch to the jar by wrapping a red satin bow around the top.

Buy little mugs at discount stores or order them online. Place a single flower in each, and place all of them at a table near the entrance. As guests leave, they can pick up a single cup with a bloom.

Seed packets make great baby shower favors. Look for seed packet favors at online stores and present guests for a baby shower favor that will grow to spread its fragrance around year after year!
