Decorating with "Dressing Your Truth"

In Carol Tuttle's Energy Profiling system I am a Type 2, and I have a natural preference for decorating with curves and flowing lines. 

Here is a quick overview of each Type:

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat. 

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.

My bed's headboard and footboard show my preference for Type 2 curves.

Do you decorate like a Type 2?

Earring and Necklace Organizer

I made this earring and necklace holder using a poster frame that I already had.  Normally I hang it vertically, but I turned it on it's side so I would have more room to add all the jewelry organizers.  I bought some "As Seen On TV" plastic necklace and earring holders for $5 at CVS pharmacy.  I attached them to the frame with sticky tape.  I had to securely attach it to the wall because all the necklaces are HEAVY. :)

I like the ability to see all my jewelry at once and I can always switch out the pictures later.

"The Child Whisperer" Parenting Book

You love your children, but do they ever make you frustrated?     

I recently read a frustration-ending book called, The Child Whisperer by Carol Tuttle.  I've been so inspired by this new parenting book that I want to let everyone with kids know all about it.

Our children give us clues and messages all the time that tell us exactly how to avoid the struggle with them. Most parents don't know how to decode these messages, and end up even more frustrated!     

The Child Whisperer teaches how to read the hidden messages your children send you every day.     

This book's eye-opening tips and techniques will help make the parent-child struggle disappear forever. I strongly recommend you check it out and learn what your child has been trying to tell you all along.

Carol Tuttle releases her new book on Tuesday the 23rd. Carol is offering $317 in bonuses when you order your copy before Friday, Oct 26th.

Me at 2 1/2 years

I was a Sensitive Child and I am still that way.  I was shy and very attached to my mother.  I am the oldest of six kids and I was traumatized every time my mom had another baby because she would be go to the hospital for 3 days.  They wouldn't let siblings in the hospital back then, but I remember my grandparents taking me to the window of my mom's hospital room so I could see her.  She would put her hand up to the window and I would put mine up to match hers. I would cry because I missed her so much.

Curly Girl Program Review and Results

Here's a photo of my hair.

I bought the book "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey and I've been using her sulfate-free DevaCurl products (DevaCurl No-Poo Shampoo and Low-Poo Shampoo,  DevaCurl One Condition, DevaCare Arc AnGEL (gel), or DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam and DevaCurl Set it Free).  You can buy a combo trial pack with all of the products HERE.

Moisture is the KEY! My curls are so much better defined since I've started using her methods and products because they keep moisture in and frizzy hair stays away.  

"Curly Girl" helps you discover your type of curl, from wavy to zigzag, and comes with a DVD that shows you what to do for each type of curl.  The book will tell you how to use small metal hair clips to hold your curls in place and give volume too (here's a video tutorial). 

I knew it was working after I tried the method and products because I received more compliments about my curls in one week than I had in a year.

A GREAT haircut will set your curls FREE!  My hair is layered and cut in a special way that works especially for curls. I went to a hairstylist who is DevaCurl trained to give haircuts like they recommend in Curly Girl. 

My hairstylist has some great photos of curly hair on her website here. You can find a DevaCurl trained stylist here.

It takes me about 10 minutes to wash, condition and put gel in my hair like they recommend in Curly Girl.  I leave in most of the conditioner and I use a lot of gel.  Then I put in small metal hair clips around the front to set the curls in place and give lift while it dries.

Sometimes I gently twist up larger parts on the sides and back and hold them with large plastic clips. After that, I spray it with "Set it Free."  Depending on how much time I have, I either let it air-dry, or I blow-dry with a diffuser on a lower setting so it doesn't disturb the curls.  

Use the Pixie-Curl method to blow dry your hair without frizz.  Here's a video.

I also do what the book says in not washing my hair every day.  It's too drying.  I wash it about every 3 days.  At night I twist and hold my curls with clips in front , then I tip my head over and put it up in a loose pony tail on top of my head with a soft scrunchie.  

To really keep frizz away I wear a silk nightcap.  On the days I don't wash my hair I wear a shower-cap so the moisture from the shower doesn't cause frizz.

Read this blog for a wonderful overview of the Curly Girl program and why you want to use no sulfate or silicones on your hair here.

Here is another blog post from a woman who wrote about her experience trying the "Curly Girl" method and the products she uses here.

Ryan was accepted for Stem Cell Therapy in China! Can you Help?

I previously posted that my twelve year old son, Ryan, is legally blind from a condition he was born with called Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) (read about it here).  We have prayed for years for a miracle to help restore Ryan's vision or improve it.  Recently while doing a web search on ONH, I found out they have been successfully treating it in China with non-embryonic stem cell therapy.  We were so excited that this wonderful opportunity was brought to our attention.  

I contacted Beike (BAY-kuh) Biotechnology for more information about treating Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) with umbilical cord stem cells.  They very quickly replied and sent me all sorts of video testimonials, treatment protocol information and a medical form to return if we wanted to pursue this option and see if Ryan could be treated. I filled out the medical form and sent some medical records to them.  I was so excited to see this email the very next day!
------------------------------------
Dear Audrey, 
I am pleased to inform you that Ryan has been accepted for treatment by our medical department. The doctors have reviewed all of the medical information you have provided and have confirmed that we can accept Ryan for stem cell injections for his Bilateral Optic Nerve Hypoplasia based on this information. I have attached a letter about this acceptance from our International Medical Director, Dr. Kara Zhang.


Primary Recommendation  (please note that all prices are in US dollars)  :
Number and Type of Injections: 6 umbilical cord blood stem cell (UCBSC) injections by IV and Lumbar Puncture. Retrobulbar injection is initially recommended.
Number of Days: 15 days (including admission and discharge dates)
Treatment Center(s): Guangzhou, China
Treatment Price: $18,500 USD

Secondary Recommendation: 7 or 8 injections
7 injections - $21,000 (18 days)
8 injections - $24,000 (21 days)
Again, we are very pleased to inform you about this acceptance and hope it will bring either some sense of excitement and/or relief. Please let us know questions you have and when you are ready to register for treatment, please submit the online Treatment Registration form.
