So bare skin I have my moisturizer sitting on I'm not using SPF today because it's pouring with rain outside I'm not going out. So just moisturizer is enough The moisturizer will just help to make sure that our makeup has something to sit on top of and it will grip hold of the Makeup so much more for you You don't necessarily need to use a primer every single time you do your makeup But you do need to moisturize your skin not just for the sake of your skin But also for the sake of the makeup that you're going to be applying. I'm gonna start off with a little bit of concealer I want to cover up any of the discoloration that I have around here My skin is being very active lately the closer I get to you know that time of the month the more my skin really shows Discoloration and particularly the older and older you get this is for my mature friends out there You want to watch for around the eyes and around the nose? If you make sure that these areas have good coverage that works for your overall skin tone Those areas will seriously make you look so glowy and so healthy and so Vibrant it'll make a massive difference. So you really want to focus on those areas for my mature friends out there even for me I'm getting there. I'm getting older As we all are and we are all lucky to get older those are the areas that I want to focus on today I also have this blemish that showed up yesterday because it knew I was filming today and it was like not without me I'm not gonna go over the top because I don't want a full coverage. Look. This is a quick and easy simple Type of a look. This is just to look more put together again I will link what I've used below because I don't want to necessarily talk about Brands however, I am a brand ambassador for Blanca Cosmetics. So I do want to show you this This is the DO8 and it has that dome shape and it also has a concealer brush on the other side Which is a dome shape as well And you know what I'm gonna do is I'm actually going to apply everything with this brush today I'm going to take my concealer and just gonna focus this where I need coverage This blemish by the way is not an active blemish. It's dried out completely. It's just still red What you don't want to do is to go and use your brushes on active blemishes Because it will just transfer any of the activity onto your brush and then it can spread it everywhere else So this one is not active So it's not going to spread anything and I really did the eyes last with whatever is left over Because I don't want too much around the eyes.  So this is a brow tint This is great when you are in a hurry because it's gonna do two things It's going to shape your brows because it's a brow gel But it also has fibers in it and some tint in it So it's going to fill them in as well And the reason I do this before I touch my face with any powder It can catch the little baby hairs kind of overdid it on purpose so you can see see how it's catching and kind of creating This like blown-out look we want to clean that up So what you can do to clean up take a little q-tip and go around with some makeup remover So I'm just going to rub this around the edges So my brows are on I have a little bit of coverage and now I'm going to go in with a powder foundation So I'm going to be using two shades of powder foundation I'm going to be using a light one and a dark one a lighter shade pretty much matches my actual skin Which is ghostly pale and then my darker shade is about two shades darker Which pretty much matches my tan if not about a shade darker than my tan And then I just mix up the two of them This means that I can customize them to say match my fake tan that I have which I haven't applied onto my face Then I can also use one for brightening the center of my face use the other one for darkening Kind of slightly contouring the rest of my face So that's why I always use two different shades a light and a dark now The reason I use powder foundations is because they're so quick and easy I don't have to then go ahead and set them with anything except for maybe a setting spray So my two foundations in front of me and I'm going to mix and match these and I'm going to be using This brush to apply this now depending on the tool that you use to apply your powder foundation will depend on the coverage That you're going to get from it if you like full coverage You're gonna want to use a dry sponge or a velvet powder puff This will give you maximum coverage if you want kind of a medium to full coverage go for a slightly smaller brush Something that's going to give you a lot of control that's going to pick up the product really well And if you want a sheer just quick kind of a look use a larger powder brush This is a great in between because it's a little bit of both It's gonna give me decent coverage, but it does have a lot of movement in it So it's also going to use blend it and sheer it out if I want to so I'm going to go in with a mixture of both of my shades And I'm just going to test it on my jaw before I start applying it everywhere Just so I can make sure that it is matching My tan and I'm doing little circular motions working along the jaw And then what I can do is as there's less product on the brush I can bring this upwards And I can slowly start to blend over any areas that I might have oils So it's kind of the opposite to using a liquid foundation liquid foundations You tend to start in the middle and blend out with powder foundations I like to almost blend from the outer edge and blend in just so I can make sure that I'm not going to have One area that's going to hold too much foundation. So this just allows me to get it on the face And I'm gonna start really blending this across here And then because this has a very sheer very light leftover product onto the cheeks It means I can then go straight in with a little bit extra and build up the coverage I'm also going to bring this over my eyelids Just to give me a little bit of coverage and that's just layer number one So just all over it kind of even now what I can do is because it's super quick It's gonna take the lighter shade and I'm just going to tap this underneath my eyes This is going to brighten underneath my eyes I'm gonna brighten the edge of my nose a little bit on the chin and a little bit on the center And then I'm going to take the darker shade and only use the darker shade instead of mixing it and work around the hairline Into the hollow and then on to the jaw Then if you want a little bit extra coverage You can take your concealer brush or a slightly smaller brush or even a sponge a dry sponge and just take a little bit of Your product and tap it where you need extra coverage Essentially what we've done now is we've applied an even layer all over and we've kind of contoured and highlighted our face And even just applied a little bit of a base over our eyes I then like to take my brush. I'm very lightly just go over the face in a downward Motion this is just going to make sure we're removing any excess powder and kind of knocking it off the skin But also if we have any dry patches, this is going to make sure those dry patches are going to be sitting down Also, there's a little hairs on the face that we all have to now you might notice something Maybe some of you have maybe some of you haven't but do you see how this brow is slightly darker than this one? That's because I took a q-tip and I just went over the brows Just to remove any excess powder that might have attached to our brows So just take a q-tip you can even just apply a very small amount of makeup remover Don't make sure it's not dripping don't drip it You can even just put it onto a tissue and then just dampen this on the tissue and then just run over the brows To remove any excess powder But if you start to see that there's color transfer on to here You're pressing too hard because that means that you're removing the gel now If you find that your face looks a little powdery after you've applied powder foundation going with a setting spray This will literally bring it back to life. I always recommend using the long lasting spray So don't necessarily look for hydrating or mattifying go for the long lasting sprays They tend to have a better feel and look over the top of powder foundation at least in my experience And you also want to make sure you are staying quite far back So even if you usually set your makeup here like this when you have powder foundation on you need to go a bit further back Because otherwise the molecules will grab hold of the skin and create little kind of droplets And then it will take a little bit of that powder and create these little speckles We don't want speckles freckles maybe but not speckles I like to just go a little further back as far as I can go and then just go tap like this right in The opposite direction make sure it's not clogged and then you're ready to go I know you're gonna be like but that wastes a spray trust me What you don't want to do is spray this on your face if it's clogged because it'll literally go And then you'll just have water dripping down.  We don't want that So spray in the opposite direction make sure it's not clogged and then you're ready to go Where's my fan? Then get yourself a fan You will use it more often than you think particularly for my older friends out there You going through the menopause? Get yourself a fan. Look at that. Look at that lift. Oh my goodness Microwaving instead of baking you don't have much time. Of course you can microwave


Well, the conflict in Ukraine has produced a flood of commentary in the U.S. comparing Ukraine with Taiwan, thinking that if Russia can form a kind of partnership with China and invade Ukraine, why can't China then use the Russian partnership as a background to take Taiwan as it's long wanted to do. I think that overlooks the very big differences. The United States will tell you, well, Ukraine was an independent country, but Taiwan is part of China and so it's not the same in terms of international law. The U.S. would say, well, Ukraine is a landlocked country that had long relationships with the Russians, the Soviet Union and is, you know, being violated in all sorts of ways. China has no capacity to do the same thing to Taiwan presently. It's building a capacity that we need to resist it through construction of effective defenses for Taiwan internally and around the region. And there are other differences as well.


Hey guys welcome to SS Winitech so see this side and today we are going to see about the templates in Azure Data Factory. So what are the templates? So an Azure Data Factory Pipelines template is free that provide you the ability to create a specific workflow quickly without a need to spend time on designing and developing the pipeline using an existing template gallery that contains data copy template external activities template data transformation templates SSIS template or your custom pipeline template using templates will save your time and effort that you need to perform repeated provisioning for and any resource the small applied to create the data factory pipeline repeatedly and quickly without the need to think about the pipeline design each time you provision the same logic. So basically the templates we have some predefined idea pipelines we could say and we can utilize those pipeline as per our requirement. So we are not think how we can design the pipeline or how we can develop the pipeline what logic we are required to write inside those. So those are predefined already written inside those templates we can use those template. So in this video I am going to use one of the template. So first let me try to understand the requirement. So the requirement is we just want to move all these files from here like in this input folder of this blob stories to the output folder of this. So as of now in the output folder we don't have any file but in the input folder total we are having six file like the customer json customer details and all these six files we want to move from here to there. So how we can do that. So similarly we can go here either we can write a pipeline and after that we need to write the logic to move the file then we can delete the file from here. So such type of logic we have to write but if you can go inside the home tab of this then we can scroll a little bit downside here we can see the option for the pipeline templates. So as we can see the category so we have all these categories like the copy or the data flow or the transform so all these categories are available we can filter out the pipelines by using the category next are the tag. So here we can see the tags so we can also filter out by using the tags similarly for the services we can also filter out for the services level. So the requirement we want to move the file from one location to another location. So let me try to here filter out for move the file. So this is the predefined template of the pipeline available. So we can select that one which is the move file let me try to click on continue. So it is going to continue. Here we can see it is asking for the link service so link service is asking because on which location the file is available and where we want to move the file. So as we have already created the SSU testing so we can select that one another link service we can see the SSU testing so we can select that one. So we have already selected the link service here. Now let me use this template and then we will see so here everything is ready. We are not required to do anything everything is ready and we are just execute this pipeline and we will see whether move the files from one location to another or not. So if we can see here then first we can see the get file list. So this is the get metadata activity we have already seen in detail on this. So it will be going to get all the file names from which location like here is the data set. So this data set is asking two parameters so we can use these two parameters. So it will get all the file names from there. Let me close and let me cancel and go back to here. Now next it is going to filter the file. So here we can see we have the filter condition on the child items. In the foils loop here first we are just copy a file and then deleting the file. So this is already written we are not required to do anything. Let me just try to debug it and we will see. So it is asking source store location source store directory then destination store location and destination store directory. So like here we can see we are only having this input folder nothing else we don't have any directory all the files is available under this. So simply here we can specify location as input here we can specify the location as output. So we want to move the files from input location to output for location. If we are having subfolders here then on this directory we can specify those folders but in my case I don't let me try to click on OK so it will start execution. So once it will be completed all the files should be moved from one location to another that is from input to output. So this is in progress as we could see here the get file list which is the get metadata activities in progress that is done filter is also done here we can see the copy a file is in progress. So it is executing so copy is completed not delete is in progress. So let me quickly go here if you can refresh this then we should not see any data because all the files should be moved into the output location because this is completed. We can see and verify like all delete is completed and everything is completed. Let me go quickly into the output folder previously remember we did not have any file. So we can see all the files is available into the output folder. So this is one of the template which is available inside the Azure data factory. So we are having multiple other templates as well so you can choose as per your requirement. So this is all about the templates. So thank you so much for watching this video if you like this video please subscribe our channel to get many more videos see you in the next video.


Dear students, in this module, we are going to talk about the remedial approaches to drug abuse. How we can curb this manace? The drug addiction is a very chronic disease. Not only it's a medical disease, but it's a social disease. It is characterized by the compulsive or uncontrollable urge to seek drug because the person who is taking drugs becomes dependent on the drugs and it is a choice when you are doing it at your first time. However, later it becomes a compulsion and addiction which cannot be easily cured by yourself. So a person who is a drug addict need to be supported and need to be guided by the other people. So a holistic vision is need to be adopted in order to curb this manace. So objectives of drug addiction treatment must include that the person should be enabled to stop using drug and for that they need to be enrolled, they need to be registered, they need to be admitted in the rehabilitation centers. It should enable the person to stay out of the drug and it should help the person to be productive. That person should equally be engaged in the more productive activities, in the more engaging activities because once he becomes a drug addict, he gets isolated with the other family members because it is assumed that if the other family members are going closer to him, they may also become the victim of drug abuse or drug addiction. However, that person need to be supported after when he or she goes under treatment, he should not be stigmatized, he rather should be considered the part of the family, should be considered the part of the society because he is in a situation of fighting a war against impulsion and against the compulsion of getting into the situation in which he usually or initially has no control over it. And what should be the principles of effective treatment is that addiction is a complex but treatable disease. Not single treatment is the right way for everyone. It is contextually determined that to what extent a person has damaged himself and after careful examination of the person, a specialist can recommend that how he should be treated. So people need to have quick access to the treatment, they need to be getting that help, they need to be admitted to such rehabilitation centers as soon as possible. So staying in the treatment long enough is more critical. The longer you stay in those rehabilitation center the better are the probabilities to get out of this addiction. So the treatment plan must be reviewed often and modified to fit the patient's changing needs. The treatment should address other possible mental disorders as well which are quite associated with the drug addiction or with the drug consumption behavior. Sometimes the cause of drug addiction for one person can sustain and even if he is treated in the rehabilitation center it is more likely that he would be engaged again in that behavior because of the cause that has not yet been addressed. So the other possible disorder problems should also be addressed by having consultations with the professional psychiatrist. The treatment does not need to be voluntary but it should be much more effective and drug abuse during the treatment must be monitored continuously. So if the person is still taking drugs while he or she is in treatment it is not going to help. The treatment program should test the patients for the HIV AIDS as well because it is more likely that if a person is a drug addict he or she is more likely to be carrying the virus of HIV AIDS. And then behavioral counseling is also effective after medication. The medical devices and application used to treat the withdrawal symptoms or to deliver the skillful training and evaluation and treatment for occurring the mental health issues such as depression and anxiety also need to be addressed while the patient is under treatment. And along with that long term follow up to re-indulge the drug taking needs to be monitored because once you are a drug addict and even you have gotten the treatment from a rehabilitation center it is still likely that in your lifetime you can indulge into the drug addiction again in any time in your life. The holistic approach needs to be adopted for a continuous monitoring for a drug addict.

Thank you very much. First of all, I very much agree with Richard Sennett just now, who says that interconnectedness is an important condition to happiness, and if we are isolated from one another, we cannot be happy. But we are all interconnected as human beings, and if we care and feel interconnected, we should be happy. I'm going to show you some of my findings. First of all, measuring happiness, what are we looking at actually? We are not looking at the moods of people. We should be looking at the longer term, more permanent factors in order to gauge the impact of the physical environment, institution and political environment, cultural and social environment, economic factors. These are intrinsic factors, and then there are some intrinsic factors which have to do with the physical, mental and spiritual health of the individual. We have been conducting this happiness survey from Lingnan University since 2005, and the key survey question among other questions is this one, taking everything together on a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being the most happy, how happy are you? And this is the result, and you can see that interestingly, after reaching a 12th in 2007, it started turning up. And to our surprise, in 2008, the survey was done after the breakout of the financial tsunami. The reported happiness index was actually pretty much higher than the year before, and what is the reason behind that? And interestingly, we found that it has to do with the mental qualities of Hong Kong people, and I had tested this happiness formula, which is based on life, love, insight, fortitude and engagement. And love is actually that interconnectedness that I have been referring to. If we are all connected through life, the competency to deal with the complexities of life would be that much higher. So, of course, it should be backed up by sufficient infrastructure, institutions, and interest in life itself. Now, I have some questions to ask for each of these, under each of these areas, and then I summarise or average the scores, and then I got these so-called life scores, our fortitude and engagement. And as it happens, if we do the regression, we found that these life scores are extremely important, carrying very significant statistics, so statistically extremely significant in explaining happiness. Okay, and if we include some of the situational factors like financial stress, gender, marriage status, income, then the explanatory power is slightly enhanced, and it is clear that financial stress is an important undermining factor for happiness. Now, this is based on the survey conducted last year, but we have an online survey that has a much bigger sample, over 8,500 respondents, and you can see that the life scores are extremely, they carry extremely high statistics, but I highlighted those negative factors, and you can see that age, aging, if you have controlled all those life scores, and interestingly you see that happiness declines with age. Okay, typically if we just look at the happiness profile, happiness appears to rise with age, but that is essentially due to, we have found that essentially it's due to higher life scores associated with elderly older people. Okay, so after you have controlled for the life scores, the age itself, because it reduces one's health, and it has a negative effect on happiness. And even more striking is the fact that education has been consistent found to be significantly negative on happiness. It's something that we need to think about how we conduct our education, and then unemployment undermines happiness, and financial pressure is extremely negative on happiness. If we request financial pressure against different factors, then interestingly we find that private housing tenants who have to pay high rent, okay, and rent keeps rising, and they experience the highest financial pressures. And if we look at how the life scores differ from group to group, interestingly we find that the HOS, which is the home ownership scheme, is a kind of low-cost ownership scheme. Okay, but it doesn't allow much room for capital gains. It allows some capital gains, but it doesn't allow that much capital gains. These people self-select themselves and buy these HOS homes, and they are different bunch, different group, okay, because they are relatively contented and they don't want to look for capital gains and so on. And you can see that these people consistently have a higher love score, insight score, 42 engagement, and happiness scores as well. And our conclusion is that personal attitudes toward life summarized in the life formula is most fundamental in determining happiness. Financial pressures undermine happiness significantly, high income beyond a certain point on average does not bring more happiness, so with distribution policies pays in enhancing happiness. Private housing tenants are subject to the greatest financial pressures, public housing tenants appear to be happy, and actual HOS owners are different kind of people with the highest life scores and the highest happiness. Thank you.


Hey guys, welcome to splitting hairs episode wait, we're not even on splitting hairs Welcome to fse live zero zero four We got Trey a bowling behind Brian here in front of in front of fad bowland Out of the picture and in the wings in the wings fad run in the show We got Christina and Justin off not feeling so well this week So we're so we're shorthanded gonna have some fun.

Um from some of our Awesome followers if you guys want to submit a question to the show All you have to do is watch us on instagram We'll make a post pretty much every week unless we get a a lot of questions like last week Yeah, so on freesline any of his questions, but you're the one that puts up the thing We'll post it on freesline educations instagram and you can Go on there and type your questions and we'll answer them. So what do we have? Who do we have questions from? Okay Uh, let's see First off, we got rachel of gossip saying how can you help your employees get out of the mindset that selling retail isn't important I've had them do product knowledge workbook so that they know their products Contests to keep them excited, but they're afraid to sell That's tough because I can't imagine why anybody doesn't see the importance of it And that that is a really tough thing And I think there are a lot of slons that struggle with getting employees to sell retail But I think if you're doing that if that is the problem you're probably not giving them any incentive To sell so you know what I'm because I'm harking back to One of my previous jobs and we did have incentive And there was a serious problem with people just not doing it. Yeah, and I think it was Like it wasn't the entire staff. It was just a a select few of people Like that just wouldn't do it no matter what the boss even brought in products that they like to use I think it really just spoke of that type of hairdresser like they were just They did what they had to do behind the chair to get paid and they weren't really like all in it Which I think is a a bigger problem. Yeah, it's a huge not selling retail. It's more Just taking a look at those types of hairdressers the ones that Are leading the pack of just being lazy and not doing their full job Exactly and it's it's a it's a fact of being lazy and not only are you being lazy and you're not either making money or You're not benefiting your clients from offering, you know different product suggestions But like that is your job your job is to be it's like if you were to go to the doctor and He just didn't feel like recommending Medicine that day. He was just like, you know, I know you don't feel good Well, I bet if you go and look at those people that are not selling anything They probably also are lower in the other numbers as well that we track Yeah, is there a rebooking piss poor or the services per guest? Yeah, I mean retail is obviously something you see It's just not leaving the shelves But if you actually go in and look and see are these people problematic all around right or is it just maybe You're using a product that they don't believe in right so so that's so let's say the answer would be Check your product make sure maybe do a poll with your staff and see what products they love And then start there and then check your incentives Do you do you actually give pretty good incentives to sell and then are you educating your staff on The products that you have because I think if you're uneducated about a product then it's probably going to be Well, she said she's doing classes and stuff. She did say that on there She said she does classes and contests and either is helping Right, so I think it's going to be probably more a bigger spotlight on the stylists that aren't doing it Yeah, and honestly the the salon industry it's all about inspiration You know like any any industry like If you guys weren't like didn't feel like coming to work and didn't get inspired by your clients and just being around each other like I know we all have our kind of like annoyances About things but for the most part you come into a business and you are excited to offer things But if you're in a rut and you're not happy where you're at then why would you you're not going to be recommending So I think it's a core it's a core issue of I don't think you need to run contests to get people to do things I think a contest is a fun thing But if you can't get them to do it before the contest the contest isn't going to make them do it Right, you know what I mean, you might get a little while. Right. Yeah. No, I get it Contests don't solve problems. That was why I put up that blog post a while back about When did reaching goals not become not enough? You know because it's if if reaching the goal isn't good enough Then the contests and all this other stuff and the the gifts and everything that you do Isn't going to help either. Right. So, all right. All right. Cool. I hope that helps a little bit, Rachel How you doing dryah Excellent BB bobby pins said fsd gurus and honor the first dream of the new year, which is another second. Sorry Uh, do you see any emerging trends for early 2016? I think one of the most fun things that I'm seeing is now it's not just like cool younger kids with no job Everybody's getting into this fantasy color World a little bit.  Yeah, even if it's not doing a full head It's it's definitely and it's super fun for us because I remember, you know years ago You knew who was a hairdresser because they were the only ones with that in their hair Right now, you can't tell right and now we're actually getting to have that kind of fun with everybody. Exactly. So Yeah, that's really fun. I totally agree with that As well all the plex and I think I did see an article about like this is the year of shape as well like Last year was the the year of like long hair and funky colors like I think this year We need to focus back to Classic shapes but add in that kind of right more, you know fun.  I said, I love the amount of texture that's being shown out there Like it's not just super smooth and straight like there's texture and beach waving and you know loose curls and A lot of different people are doing different styles Even at home. Yeah and mixing and matching textures too. Like I've seen a lot of like really smooth with like a lot of Cramped or crazier textures. So I think it's gonna be an exciting year of hair And you know a lot of new content for us to create with just I think one of the The videos that went semi viral to go off of what you were saying With like shaping put in and finding a way to put fun color Was that one girl it was like the black bob and when she ran her hands through it and lifted up the Outermost layer you got all the fantasy colors that were within and I had so many people like brand Do you know how to do this? I'm like Yeah, yeah, it's cool. I'm a master hair cutter. Of course I can You may want to clarify Who says I'm not Yes, that's true. Uh, all right Okay This kind of goes back to the other one in a in a different light. Spencer nick says I'm in a small shop on commission and the owner does not sell products I'd like to start selling products is that a smart idea in a market where clients can go to walmart and a drug store And it's $10 for professional products I can't believe that there's a boss that doesn't sell products Yeah, I agree I also can't believe that in I I hope it's not gonna happen But my I pray that by the end of this year we quit worrying about whether walmart target CVS Walgreens has the same products that we sell on the salon because I'm gonna watch turn red ready I know I am freaking out because honestly like like I have I've never worried about those companies selling the same product as me because I will sell it to you It before you leave and if I don't then it is my fault Right, you know, and I get that they they will later on go into CVS Maybe in between appointments and pick up a shampoo But then start a program if you feel like that is the issue in your salon then start a program and And take care of that issue. Maybe start a rewards program for product or An automatic, you know a membership for product or there's so many different ideas But don't get upset about big companies having the same product first off They sell it for more money than than you probably so you're already Up on them on that get them into the salon more often if they come in every four weeks They are not going to run out of shampoo You cannot run out of shampoo in four weeks and then make sure when they come back in in four weeks You ask them how their shampoo supply is And make sure that you get them more if they're going to run out by the next appointment It's our job. Don't be we goes back to the first question. Don't be lazy About it of a promo that could increase your product sales. What's that? Okay?  Yeah, but then we could recycle it I mean that could be a cool little program. We could do that.  I did it twice today fad my mic Mac me. Nope. You do not get your mic cover my mic now. Thanks.  So so that's just been shopping it. I know right? Is the official thing on that. Okay. All right, so all right, so let's get to uh, we got your way up there, right? All right All right, so a quick download.  This is the brocado. Oh, that's not the one I wanted Whoops That's an excellent hold. All right, so this is the moveable hold So you want a nice setting spray that you're going to be able to easily brush through At the end of this Um, yeah, so some of these curls are going to be a little stronger than other ones. Um Now All that everything has cooled down a little bit.  It's about two inches So that way we can really help set that s shape and body throughout this style What I love about this style is that i'm not ironing the entire thing So it is something that you can do in a little bit of a quicker fashion And this is something that I want to say because like a lot of people are Always talking about how do I get a good instagram picture and I think Um, they don't take the second To do things like this with actually putting in a set and then after she does a set Then she's going to do the iron work and if you do those steps and you don't slack on anything You will get a way better image Then then you would otherwise, you know what I mean So I think I think a lot of times we get so busy in this line. We're back to back to back Um, we don't have the time to do that full set or we didn't block out the time to do it But when you do have a sec like It's only going to make things better if you can do that. I know that you talked about Um, this year, what'd you say your goal was this year? You wanted to kind of I I want to Take a little bit of a a step back and not overload myself so much so that I can spend More time making sure that every service is a higher quality, especially now that I've moved up to the higher price range in first of the year everyone's going up Yeah, I was actually talking to my guest about it today and She's been with me for many years And back at my old salon where you crank people out every 15 minutes It's a new person and it was a breath of fresh air to come here And have the free time to spend all this time with her Yeah, but it's getting back to the point where I was Overbooking myself to the point where it's impossible to offer an extra service or it's impossible to even take an after picture Right because my next two people are waiting While i'm finishing this one up and so this year i've decided to Make it more more value the service that I provide. Yeah And that's what it's all about like you you have to a lot of people want to know how to raise their prices You've gotten to a point where now They're up there two months out Like it's really hard to get an appointment within two months, right even in january february right now It's hard to get an appointment because you've already booked people throughout the year and and you work five days a week And you work sometimes 10 hours a day So it's a crazy like this is a You and draya both are hitting average tickets with your color and cuts of like 350 dollars sometimes So What does it the reason you can charge that much is if you bring the the right amount of value to that the guest And if you're double doubling yourself up, then they're not getting that same value So now that we've raised you to a certain point we need to calm it back down But then you you can charge what you've been charging and people are not upset to pay it Right because they also know how busy you are right, you know with Pinterest out there and More people trending with the whole textured style I probably see more people come in with pictures of Something that has iron work or something that has a little bit more in depth of a style at the end of it And if you can't show them how to do it They're not going to be coming back to you right like I offered something today that It just came out of my mouth I have I can't even tell you the last time that I said it and it used to be such A staple with all my guests. I was talking about You know my guest said she needed a new blow dryer. So I was talking to her about the new one that we got in and I I told her the price and it's an expensive blow dryer and without even thinking I went back to saying if you get it I will schedule a time where you and I will sit down and I will teach you how to use it So they're not just handing you this expensive tool. I used to say that I used to sell more tools than I did right back in the day Yeah, and it's because that was always how I looked at it And I think I just let myself get so busy trying to shove as many people into a day as possible That that just became unthinkable right and so now that's what I'm trying to do this year and I also want to We started selling all the ergo brushes and all the the ergo dryers, but I think in this day and age with people wanting healthy hair. I think the tool is More important than even the product at this point. I the products are really important We need them here and you need like what I'm saying is we don't need 9,000 products over there Right I think opening up a shelf for tools is really important because The the tools that your guests are using at home are probably ruining their hair more than Well, that's what I like now that I'm As established with most of my guests as I am Now is when that conversation is starting to come up a lot more brian. I'm doing everything I bought all the products.  Yeah, that Opens the door right there right okay, then it's gotta be 200 blow dryer Yeah, you got to use what I use to get the result that I do. Yeah, and now that you're using the products They're good products. I stand behind them. I believe in them Now here's the tools that I use that I believe in as well Yeah, and calm down on your technique and you'll show them the technique And that my big thing too is I think people are over brushing Like they're just constantly tugging and tugging and tugging like let it dry keep keep the blow dryer held Let it your hands run through it and then once it gets to a certain Point where it's going to start getting frizzy and everything then add your brush in But people just start digging at it right right away and I Lang class that they told us That hair doesn't start to take shape and form until it is 90 dry So by going in there and fighting with a brush beforehand. Yeah, you're just stressing out your hair. Yep Yeah, there's no point I mean we tell people all day long don't put your wet hair in a ponytail because it pulls the hair And it could break but then we go in and we start adding brushes to it and tugging at it when it's wet So it's going to do the same thing Um Someone asked is matt still doing the matt back show and when will it air again?  Yeah, we're still doing the show I actually set I was going to record one while I was in minnesota By myself in my hotel room. That was my plan that was out of town. That's why yeah So I I Got to my hotel room. I was like, all right. I got a couple minutes I'm gonna film it and then realize that I didn't bring a camera card. I brought lights I brought a camera here when you fact I brought everything and it was Unnecessary because carrying that through the airport is not fun, right fad right Fad they couldn't see you do that Yeah, but they saw your faces. Yeah, watch me do it I have one last really good question that I'd love to get us to okay Amanda rork 624 says I'm thinking of changing from a cutter and colorist to just a colorist and teaming up with my husband Who's a cutter? How do I make this transition for my clients any tips for trying to schedule clients? My number one piece of advice that I would give is exactly what you're doing if you're gonna Break up Like the service between two people if you're gonna go the route of just being a cutter or a colorist I think you're gonna be most successful Finding somebody who is the other that you really trust that you know you trust their work You trust them to make your work look good. They trust you to make their work look good Excuse me all of my friends that are Either a cutter or a colorist predominantly work with just one of the other type like Yeah, so if you trust your husband's work, I don't mean to start any trouble But I'm assuming you trust your husband's work because you're bringing up him being the cutter Then I think that's gonna be a really a great way to go. I can't wait till Christina's the colorist. I told you I would do it I trust Christina I'm just kidding. I um I had somebody ask me on snapchat actually about um making the move from doing both to just being a colorist and um They're currently working at great clips, but they want to make the move to a different place and uh My thought process was you know, like if if you want to be a colorist, it's totally cool It's just going to take you longer To build when you move to a new place because you do one specific thing Once it's built though, it's it's going to be great. I mean When you do have color clients back to back and you're not spending a lot of time blow drying because the cutter has to do that pretty much Then you have a lot more time to make a lot more money and if you enjoy color more than anything else I think it's a good move it just in my opinion I've never done it, but I think it would take you longer because you're in in a niche kind of niche thing Oh fad Yeah, because everybody gets haircuts not everyone gets color right all right But I forgot there was somebody that you told we would answer their question So let me hit that real fast and then drab. We need to know which direction you curl those. Yeah Um, most clients are pretty good about keeping off their phone during a service How would you politely ask a client to refrain from using their phone during a service like talking on the phone? Do you think I imagine I would because I don't really care if they're texting. Yeah, I hope they're texting I look over their shoulder. That's my favorite. What's going on? um I I don't know that there's a Specific polite way that I do it like my guests are pretty good when I start to get Because somebody else asked another question very similar about like glasses. Yeah cell phones. Mm-hmm like today I just asked my clients to take her glasses off because I needed her to right and I get it some people say they're busy, but Just like they think their work is more important. They need to realize that your work is important and your time is important and this is You're you just trying to do your job. Yeah, and uh They need to take off their glasses or get off the phone so that you can do your job. Yeah what I just told Matt that he needs to Tell my clients to get off the phone and that he can't be screaming in the wash house anymore Oh, yeah, that did happen. I um sent flowers. He did send flowers So we had a guy who was screaming on his phone. He was very upset something about his house. Um I mean he had every reason to be upset. Yeah, he just went a little great. Yeah He just went a little yeah, he had a uh security alarm going off in his house in florida And couldn't doesn't know anyone to go look at it. So he was calling the security company He was freaking out in here like yelling and everyone was uncomfortable So finally I said you have to stop and he did stop Yeah And uh, it's getting easier as I get older and I drink more pre-workout. Just keep like Yeah, as he gets older. Yes f's are given. Yeah, so but I you know, I told him that he couldn't do that He had to go outside He quickly got off the phone finished the service with drea and then the next day sent her flowers. So I mean it was you know Don't be afraid to tell people when anything in in your life at all is making you uncomfortable or Is ruining a situation. I think too many times we don't say something. Don't be mean about it. Just say How you feel and I think people respect it more But don't worry. Brian's probably the best at the fact that he just says whatever is bothering him to people and and sometimes it's Like sometimes you're like, I wish he wouldn't always tell me Exactly how he feels but then other times you're like, well, at least I know exactly how he feels so That's sure. Yeah. All right. Let's figure out what try is don't I So I have uh Unclips all of my uh pen curl clips. Let's do it really nice and she's done right now. So this is the finished product You're welcome. I dropped the mic But no, so uh, she has a part on the left side of her head So I curled all the curls going back on the right side. So away from the face So that when it comes around to this side, everything's curling around forward Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. All right. So I then lightly missed uh glow Which is a nice shine spray. I liked using a shine spray before Don't laugh at me, Brian. Well, did you already do it or were you just like phantom misting it right now? Like I use it but you didn't I did because I was bored while you guys were talking A little more we'll have proof that because we can see her behind us Jay was just glowing behind us. It's true. I use it. I promise Okay, but I like using a shine spray before I brush any set out because it just gives a little bit of extra slip And it works the shine into the hair really giving it a nice glisten And uh glow so that's where that goes very cool. Um, I'm gonna start working from the bottom Up so my underneath sections going in and just nicely Working that brush so that we don't see any Places where we had this set Now I think this is what we're gonna say, Brian. I was gonna say would you What if you want to leave a little bit more of the structure of the curl in there? Um, I'd probably use my fingers. Okay But I wanted a very soft s shape not A strong. I mean that's soft. I know just give me a second It's because there's so much glow in there It's glowing so hard. It's a lowercase j So at this point, I'm gonna kind of separate where her part is. That's one beautiful ball right now, right?  Draya. Yeah, run out of stewart says Won't all those products weigh the hair down? No No, the actual key thing about broccato products that I did learn this weekend because I hung out with them for four days Is that they are the lightest? hair products In the industry though when they were created they were created to be layered Over and over because they were created to do really nice styles So it's a little fun fact that they go really well together It's great with the broccato products because it really does give nice session work because you can layer it in there Exactly and keep using To get the job done to really nice way to say the exact same thing that just Hey, brian, what's again a brian saying things Saying how he feels ronetta also asked if we're taking on any apprentices. Where's ronetta live? We're looking for apprentices in uh, australia You know, we have australian people watching right now. I know I actually as I was saying that I was like We um, so take that back. Sorry about it melbourne. Here's the deal. We Eventually this is growing. This is growing very quickly. So eventually You know, I hope we have a A team that is all over the world But but it won't be a salon. It's gonna be you know more of an education thing not so much What does that mean? You're gonna like ship us out Like send each of us to a different corner of the world to grow fsc Well, no, we won't we have the internet. We communicate I like my idea better. I know you want to go places. I will send you places Shotgun on europe. Yeah Hey, did we tell everybody we're going to chicago? No, we didn't so I'll tell you Uh, we had our christmas party this past week And we got together for dinner and found out that we have the best bosses ever Wait, wait, wait. I didn't hit your record yet. Now. Oh, you want me to say best boss ever again? So we found out at our dinner that our wonderful Leaders are taking us on a trip to chicago to attend the abs Uh hair show which is going to be fantastic And we're going to attend the behind the chair stylus choice awards, which is going to be kick ass And we are also going to get to spend like an extra day and a half just getting to see the city Which is a super awesome city that I have always wanted to see And it's really funny because that day I was talking to one of my clients about how I've always wanted to visit But I couldn't move there because at this point in my life I can't move any place colder than where I already live So we're going to go during like the height of the tundra season. So I'm super stoked But it's going to be really fun. So if you guys are going to be at abs, we'll be there too I'm going to write I want best boss ever That's learning how to snapchat. So if you guys don't learn, snapchat learning If you don't follow him on snapchat yet, you need to because it's pretty funny All right, all right, it's like a day in the life of map that constantly And it always starts with hey guys guys Oh, even dry is making fun of Matt on that one Matt during your interview uh today, I was so hoping that you're going to mess up and say hi, this is Matt You were hoping you hear that he was hoping I was on the mess Yeah, but it's so funny.  Hey guys, this is max spec What it's I don't know This is what we were. All right, that's looking beautiful Um, surprise. See now, australia is pissed. I want you to know that why why because you tease them. Oh, sorry They're coming after you with dingoes and boomerangs Now you can be pissed at me and set them up. I can't spell I'm just kidding. We love you. All right. All right, so Yeah, there it is. This is my look That's okay Did you hit it with an iron? Yeah, I already did that. Oh, that's what you said it with Set it and forget it After like I round so I round brush the top and then I went in and took Then you did the iron did the iron in the same sectioning But I broke it down instead of when I did the round brush set. I had four sections For the setup here and when I went in with the big iron. I broke them down into three sections each Okay, so Somebody was saying I expected the curl to be standing out a little bit more is that the look you were going for And I'm only bringing that up because I know the answer is yes Yes, this is the look that we're going for we wanted just something soft Something that's very wearable Right out Um, it gives a little bit extra flair around the face because we did go in with the iron through the top Um, did you just iron the top and the rest is just round brush? Rest is just round brushed. Can we say the back someone says? Yeah, it's been it a little bit so we can see the other side too So again, I think this is great because this is something that's super realistic as far as what your guests will do themselves Like that really gorgeous victorious secret Jessica simpson kind of Farrah faucet rollout is pretty but no one's ever going to do that on themselves This is actually something that your guests will do but you could also with this same set form like formation Yeah, you could have that right you could do that But if someone like jerry, I really took her sweet time on this But this is something that you like could teach your guests to crank out those curls around the face even just that Yeah, like do a nice blow dry get the section like Like she was saying like get it all in the same direction Let me see the front around like the the other and then just do that bit around the face That's something that people will do turn it just a little bit jerry. I like this so we can see that Yeah, so And you're seeing this a lot too the softer curls versus Having those super tight ones. I don't know if anybody's was watching Being a lot through the award season this past year. They were much softer. They're not as done styles So that's what makes this look so easily accomplished Yeah, because you I mean I used a large round brush If I wanted that victoria secret tighter curl, I would have gone in with a much smaller round brush which We all know the smaller the round brush the tighter the curl But like brian was saying You can't always teach your guests to really manipulate it and work it as much as you would actually do it So and also I think with the end result Um, when you went through with the brush you somebody else could also like you said just use your fingers And you wouldn't get as much separation of that curl as well or Your fingers or honestly, I would just have my guests bend over and shake out their head Yeah, do it on the mannequin Well, now she's shook out No, she's pretty All right, so I don't know if you said it because I was answering a question. I apologize somebody asked what size brush and iron So I used the ergo large brush. Um Second to largest one, right? Yes. That other one's the extra large. This is just large and then I used It's from Paul Mitchell. It's their big barrel iron Simple just going what is that one and a half? I think it's one and a half. Yeah. Yep. Is there XL? Yeah, it's the XL So And that's what I did. All right, cool. Does anybody else have any other questions? Uh, I think we're pretty good We got a hi from brazil. Hello Sorry, christina's not here. I know But um, all right, cool. So we have uh What do we have coming up? Um Next week I'm going to do some filming. I think monday. We'll get some more videos out next week If you haven't checked out some of the last episodes if this is your first fse live check them out We we have three others that you may enjoy and um, we have a review coming up on the supraclipper from Andis which we could probably fire up now. It's probably charged Probably um And but we have a review coming up with that and with the interchangeable blades and everything Which would be pretty fun.  Oh, okay. All right. Well, I do know you need a haircut. Oh, I was just saying put it out there Um, but thank you guys so much for watching. Uh, make sure you subscribe. We're not done We're not done. We haven't done the free wheel. Oh, we have to spin the wheel Hold on real quick before jay steps away from her girl Someone just asked before we're done with the mannequin. Can you show me on one section how to manipulate? Uh Oh on with the grip to roll it out of the brush Oh, okay Like without making it fuzzy and gross She's done her duty anyways.  So When you have her nice and round up What you I like to do is I just kind of release it till the very end And then I twist the handle As I go down Oh, you go that way Yeah, how do you do it? I go the other way. All right, brian get up and show. Yeah That's the direction I wanted my curl to go. So I want to know. I'm just saying like I've not tried it that way, but now I will there you go Very cool. And and then with the iron draa just so that we're clear on how Um, you wrapped it in the iron. Can you just show us one of those as well? Sure like how you were Rolling it up, you know, but can we spray that down and just totally start over again? Do you want me to redo everything? Okay, just wet it.  So I did do some over direction with the iron just so that we could get some lift but Classic like you learn in beauty school just keep rolling halfway until all your ends Are underneath It's rolling all the way and then you just slid out of that and clipped it. All right, cool And you just clip it sweet All right, we should get some video of that too Very cool draa. It's been a while since we did some style. Heck. Yeah.

Hey Co-Friends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I'll be doing a wash day using all black-owned brands. I'm starting off with the Melanin Hair Care African Black Soap Reviving Shampoo. I have been wanting to get my hands on these products to support Whitney aka Natural 85 on YouTube. A fellow natural hair YouTuber she made these products and I've heard great things. So this is her very clarifying shampoo. I'm always a fan of scout products that have little nozzles. You could apply it directly to your scalp.  It's made with nutrient-rich cocoa and shea butters along with nourishing and healing oils like argan oil, tea tree oil, black cumin, rosemary, peppermint, and turmeric root just to name a few. So this is going to really target your scalp without stripping away any natural oils in your hair. To really clean my scalp I'm going to be using a scout massager by PG, another black-owned brand, and also fellow creator and also remember to get the very back of your head when we think about wanting to get hair growth and length. Remember that the bottom of your hair is going to show you the most length because that's the lowest part of your head. Then let's rinse it out and see how it feels. So my hair feels like squeaky clean. Like if I rub the top of my head it's like... So it doesn't really feel like drying at this point but it is like a very clarifying shampoo. Just keep that in mind. But now let's put some moisture back in with the melanin hair care multi-use softening leave-in conditioner. So usually when things are called a leave-in conditioner I usually don't like them as conditioners. I feel like they're trying to do too much. But the smell is like spearmint gum, like straight up five gum. So it says it can be used as a rinse-out conditioner or a leave-in conditioner or as a detangler. So I'm going to try just to finger detangle with just the leave-in and I was kind of having a hard time. So I had to just keep applying more, really get it in there. I eventually was able to detangle but I wouldn't say that it has like super crazy amazing slip. So I am going to bring out a brush to help me detangle. This one is also by PG once again, it's like a flexi brush to help me detangle because finger detangling was kind of taken too long. So I'm going to start from the bottom and work my way up. This did help a little bit but it still wasn't very easy. So I can already tell from the consistency of this that this would probably make a better leave-in conditioner than it is a regular conditioner. It's just not very thick or creamy enough for me to detangle with in the shower but I'm sure it'd be great to use as a pre-styler step out of the shower on wet hair. But now that I am done detangling, my curls look really good. I don't usually notice this much definition in the shower right after shampooing and conditioning. So I do love my results and how everything turned out. So now I'm going to rinse out the conditioner and go on to deep conditioning using another black-owned brand Briogeo. This is Briogeo's Be Gentle Be Kind Avocado and Kiwi Mega Moisture Super Food Mask. And this smell is amazing. Talk about food. It smells like a dessert.   It's green like avocado but I love the fruity scent and this is my favorite type of consistency for conditioners. It has that like, not like a thick creamy but like a smooth slippery cream that has great slip. So now I'm going to put it away using my pattern beauty clip and now I'm going to wash my body with some black-owned skincare. This is the LEL Glowing Body Wash with Turmeric and Carrot for acne and dark spots. My favorite thing about this brand is that the first ingredients are love and prayers. Okay, if I can have some Jesus in my products, I know it's going to be good. It also has lemon in it so I like to use this on my back where I still have some acne scars from past acne. I did suffer from back knee, it's one of like my insecurities but here it is on YouTube so if you have it, you are not alone and I'm hoping that like the lemon and the turmeric will help make my skin more glowy and also clear up those dark spots. Now I'm grabbing the LEL Glowing Emulsified Face and Body Scrub. It's a very fine scrub so it's not too abrasive for your face. I will admit that because of Black History Month, I was trying a bunch of different black-owned skincare products and black-owned makeup products so I had like a slight little breakout after like a week of going crazy. What you're not supposed to do is try a bunch of products at one time but I did. So I don't know like what caused the breakout but because I got nervous, I ended up just switching to using the scrub on my back only instead of my face. If you want to see how I apply my makeup in this video, make sure you come back for part two where I do a full face using all black-owned brands. Now let's go back to the hair using another PG Accessory, their Water Bottle. This is a really great misting spray bottle to help rewet your hair and now for my Styler of Choice, I'm going to be using the TGIN, Thank God It's Natural Curl Bomb Moisturizing Styling Gel. This stuff is thick like I had to pump it out and also has a really fun smell. So I'm going to apply this to one side at a time raking it in, smoothing it down, scrunching you know the deal and because it's thick I assumed it was going to be like really strong hold but as I read it again, it's actually a light hold gel. This gel is supposed to reduce frizz, enhance shine great for all hair types and it has a unique formula that aids in moisture retention while providing a long lasting curl definition. Once I finish all my smoothing, scrunching and flipping I'm going to let it air dry, create a cast and then diffuse and come back. And here are my final results. Not bad. I don't really have much of a hold anymore. I did diffuse my hair so it is a little fluffy but I am just starting to accept the fluff. I mean part of me wants to go back in and add a little bit more gel to these little fluffier pieces here but it is giving me more volume and I kind of like the big hair looks. Let's see if we can make it even bigger. I'm going to use my pick from Pattern Beauty. There we go. So now that I read the bottle it does say it's a soft hold styling gel that gives curl definition without the crunch and I would agree. There's no crunch. It is a very soft hold. That is why I'm getting like a little bit of frizz here on the sides and on the top. I'm just going to add a little bit of water. Add a little bit more gel to my palms and kind of smooth down these flyways. Problem solved. But I do think that this would even give me even better results on day two. So I'm probably going to refresh with this on day two and like it even more. It is a very, very thick gel so I think I assumed it would be strong hold because of that. It's kind of similar to the in-shower style fixer consistency but thicker. But even still, air dried it did create a little bit of a cast but then once I diffused all the cast was gone.  Let me know what product really caught your eye. What are your favorites? What do you want me to try next? How should I wear it to the side, middle part? Looks really good.  So I got excited. I started playing with all my makeup products that I also bought from Ulta and Target. And spoiler alert, these are the results. If you want to see me do my makeup, come back next week for my next video to watch me use all black-owned makeup products. If you enjoy my videos, make sure to give me a thumbs up and subscribe.
