Stupid Facebook….
April 14, 2011 by 7 Comments
PLEASE READ:
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS AND WISHES TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEIR CONTACTS!!
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and you are not hearing from anyone else?
…The problem is that a large chunk of your contact list can’t see anything you post and here’s why:
The “New Facebook” has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people you’ve recently interacted with or have interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the “new profile”). So, in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless you or your friends/fans commented on one anothers posts within those couple of weeks – you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!
HERE’S THE FIX:
On your homepage click the “Most Recent” title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select “Edit Options”. Click on “Show Posts From” and change the setting to “All Of Your Friends and Pages” (you can also access the “Edit Options” link at the very bottom of the Facebook homepage on the right)
Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed. Owners of business pages should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.
The good news is:
You can now view all of your friends and fans again.
The bad news is:
YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. If you want to re-establish contact, you will need to get the word out to ALL of your contacts.
FUN!
Hair Color Ideas
April 14, 2011 by 1 Comment
I have never colored my hair before- I know- GASP! But I know that many women like to, and thought some of you may like to hear about this new hair product 🙂
My good friend is a hair coloring addict, LOL, she will like this as well!
Spring has finally arrived, conjuring up feelings to start fresh and new…the clocks spring forward, you start your spring cleaning, you get a new spring wardrobe…but what about your hair? I bet that could use some freshening up as well!
Clairol Nice ‘n Easy is shaking up the hair color experience with new Color Blend Foam, making it easier for women who color at-home. Nice ‘n Easy Color Blend Foam offers a breakthrough experience, alleviating many of the application burdens associated with at-home hair color, while still maintaining the same dimensional color results Nice ‘n Easy is known for.
If you want to check out how it works: CLICK HERE to see a step-by-step video.
And don’t forget to become a fan on Facebook to hear what other “foam fans” are raving about!
Marie’s Top Tips for At-Home Hair Coloring:
Prep your bathroom prior to coloring your hair by setting out old towels to protect surfaces.
When deciding on a hair color formula, it’s important to understand the different between a
permanent and demi-permanent hair color.
o Opt for a permanent hair color if you’re looking for a more dramatic change as that will
provide you with dimensional color and 100% gray coverage
o For a temporary change, go with a demi-permanent color that will enhance and boost
color and shine in addition to providing up to 50% gray coverage. Demi-permanent hair
colors typically rinse out in 28 washes
Pick a form of hair color – liquid, cream or foam – that you feel most comfortable with. Foam is
the newest form of hair color. I love Nice ‘n Easy’s Color Blend Foam which is super easy to apply
with your hands as its drip-free, mess-free and simply collapses into your hair. Cream and liquid
hair colors require the applicator bottle to help direct the application of the hair color.
When selecting a flattering shade, stay within two shades of your current hair color for best
results.
For optimal results, do not wash your hair prior to coloring as its best to work with hair that was
washed the previous day so your scalp has some natural oils protecting it.
Keep your skin hair color-free by putting Vaseline around your hair line to keep it from running
into your skin.
To ensure hair color is evenly distributed – follow these simple steps:
o Part your hair into three, even sections
o Start by focusing on the roots and then work colorant through the rest of your hair
After your hair color has fully processed for the allotted amount of time, thoroughly rinse the
hair color out with warm water, use your fingertips to massage the roots and continue to rinse
hair until water runs clear.
Maintain healthy-looking, colored hair with a few easy steps:
o Use a shampoo and conditioner specially-formulated for color-treated hair that will
continually nourish and protect your hair
o Treat your hair to a weekly deep conditioner
o Use heat protection spray when heat styling
o Reduce exposure to the sun and chlorinated water

“This one is really for my daughter. For those of you that don’t know my (Lucy’s) story…the long and the short of it is I have a special needs child in a wheelchair.
I have always wanted to put in hardwood floors for her and make her bathroom more assessable but can’t afford all the work that would go into it.
