Hi, I'm Jackie Weirach and welcome back to another episode of You and Your Health. And our focus is to bring information to the public about other alternatives for an individual to really be into complete wellness. And there are so many modalities that an individual can choose to experience. And one of those today that we'll be talking about is Bok Flower Remedies. And I have to say I'm a novice, so join me in welcoming Tara Traffany. Thank you for joining us. I'm so excited to learn about this subject which I know tiny, tiny, tiny bit about. So I know you do this and you also do Reiki Master. I'm in the process of getting my Reiki certification and spiritual healer certification. So I'm looking forward to bringing all of them together. So how did you start this journey? What brought you into exploring and studying this? About 20 years ago. Wow. I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I was walking through a bookstore in Philadelphia. I was at a really emotionally challenging point in my life. And wishing, you know, asking the universe for some help. And literally this exact book dropped off the shelf in front of me on the floor. No way. You got really good, divine answer. So I picked it up and I said, the only thing I was familiar with at that point was rescue remedy, which is what a lot of people are familiar with. And so I took the book and I went to the cafe and I sat and I read the whole thing. And from that point on I was hooked. I was convinced that this was the answer I'd been looking for. Pretty powerful. Yeah. And so did you start practicing on yourself? Myself, my family. Then I went and did my Bach certification, Bach practitioner certification, the first two levels. And then throughout the years I would help different friends or colleagues, but mostly just kind of keeping it in my own circle. And then I went back and I finished my practitioner certification a few years ago and now I'm doing it with clients. And where does one go to get certified or where did you go to get certified? So it's all by the Bach Center in England, but they have people who come here to major cities in the U.S. and do the trainings. So like Philadelphia, New York, Seattle, Portland, and Denver, I think. So can you give examples of success stories and somebody having some kind of an illness or an irritation or unease and you just determine that this will work for them? How does the whole thinking process go? So Bach remedies work on the emotional body. So Dr. Edward Bach, who was the inventor of Bach flower remedies, he was a regular MD. He was also a bacteriologist and immunologist and a pioneer in the field of homeopathy. But he felt like all of that was not getting to the root of the problem. So he discovered when he was working with his patients that he started seeing kind of long before, now it's kind of an accepted thing, the mind-body connection, but he was seeing it back in 1900, 1910, 1920 that he could make clear correlations between the emotional state of his patient and then when an illness developed later on. So he sought to kind of take his training back a step and not be treating the illness but be treating the emotions and the fear state or the grief state that he felt was leading to that illness later on. So that's why he developed the Bach system. And we were talking before we started about some of the cards that you have. You pulled out different, it looked like flowers. Yeah, so it's mostly flowers. There are also some trees and there is only one that's neither, which is in its water. It's rock water from a specific spring in England. Yeah, so like this is chestnut bud. So yeah, it'll tell you the botanical name and then what it's indicated for. And you'll often see questionnaires or there's some wonderful posters the Bach Center puts out and they'll tell you, for instance, like chestnut bud is for breaking old patterns, breaking bad, repetitive, harmful patterns. So one of the reasons people come to a Bach practitioner is that it can often kind of be challenging to shed a light on our own stuff and it's helpful to talk it out with someone, especially someone who has a really in-depth knowledge of them. So chestnut bud is actually a great example because sometimes people look at these charts and things and say chestnut bud will often say addiction, so breaking these bad patterns. And that is true, but it's really more important what is causing the addictive behavior. So if the addictive behavior is, say, a reaction to grief or a reaction to overwhelm, then chestnut bud actually wouldn't be the appropriate. It would be more appropriate to treat the cause behind it. So how do you get to that? It's a dialogue process. It's a dialogue process, definitely. With the Bach system, he believed very strongly in one-on-one, really, they called it the onion effect, peeling the layers away. And that will often happen. You'll give somebody a remedy and whatever was presenting the emotion or the challenging situation will peel away and kind of reveal another layer beneath and then you can treat that. So how long does it generally take to get to finding out what is underneath? It all depends. I mean, it depends on the person. It depends on how deep-seated it is, too. If this is something they've been struggling with for 20 years, it will definitely take longer to peel it away. But if it's really an acute situation, like, say, a close family member passed away a couple months ago and they're still struggling with the grief, that will actually be a lot easier to bring back into balance because it's much more recent. It also depends. People have different desired outcomes. Some people are like, I'm having this one problem. I just want to take care of that problem and I don't want to dive into my psyche at all. And if that's what they want, then that's all we look at. It's really led by the client. And often people will say that and then they go through that initial peeling away with the first remedy, the first personal remedy I make for them. And then they'll be like, oh, all this other stuff came up now. So maybe we should deal with that. Or some people are just like, nope, I wanted help with my insomnia. My insomnia is gone and I'm good. So it all depends on it's really client-led how deeply we go. So do you see patterns or is it very individual? It's very individual. I mean, there certainly are patterns. There certainly are. That's why, unlike some systems. And I do like other systems of flower essences. There are certain ones that I appreciate, certain individual essences. But unlike something like flower essence services where they have hundreds of them, Dr. Bach had, there were initially only 12. Now there's 38 plus rescue remedy. There were initially only 12 because those were the 12 main emotional challenges and patterns he saw coming up over and over and over again. What were those 12? I'm not going to be able to do the round off the top of my head, but it's like grief was a huge one and trauma, grief and trauma and depression and sadness and being stuck in life. And that is actually, if you read the writings of Dr. Bach, his original writings, a lot of what he says is that our illnesses, our dis-ease comes out of not fulfilling our soul's purpose. And that if we are in alignment with our soul's purpose, we can bring ourselves back into balance much more easily and that we can avoid illness. So how does one find what their soul's purpose is? I mean you have this really great book falls in. It took a long while to realize that was my purpose though, that healing was my purpose. It was more something that I used for me and my family. It took a long time to get there because, and I should have been taking wild out because that is the remedy that will help you if you're feeling like you can't find your path, if you're feeling like what you're doing isn't nourishing you, wild out will help you find the path that is your purpose, your nourishment. Okay, so how long does this take to work? Well some people, like I said, if the issue is a more surface issue and it's more recent, they'll come to me, I'll make a, you know, we'll talk for an hour, an hour and a half sometimes depending on how much they've got to get out and I'll make their personal remedy for them, which can be up to seven essences in one remedy but the fewer the better, the more you can kind of pinpoint the issue and they'll go and then in two to three weeks we'll often have another checkup and for something that's very, very recent, that may be enough, but if people really kind of want to peel back those layers and get down to the root of things, some people just do it continuously as kind of a tuning up so they may come to see a practitioner a few times a year and tweak their remedy a little every time and say, you know what, I've made great progress on my, you know, finding my life's purpose but I still have a lot of sadness about even though my mother's been dead for 10 years, I have a lot of sadness about the fact that she and I never had a good relationship and I'd like to address that now. Wow. So it can go as deep as they want, it can last as long as someone wants to keep doing that kind of self-discovery and growth process. So how do you get the word out? Well I'm just kind of starting to do that more and more. I mean get the word out in terms of I'm only, I'm one of only two registered Bach practitioners in the state of Vermont. Really? Yeah. So it's definitely, I definitely have to get the word out more that's for sure. Well this video will help. Yeah, that's wonderful. You're going to put it on your website. Yeah I have a website and a Facebook page and I'm gonna get back, I was doing a little blogging, I was doing like highlighting a different remedy every few weeks and kind of talking about my experience with it and some of my favorite ones, some of the ones, I mean they're all wonderful and all address specific needs but the ones that I find that I turn to more often. Which one are they? Well Star of Bethlehem is a really beautiful one and it's for trauma and grief primarily and I find that I would say 75% if not more of the people that I work with need Star of Bethlehem at least to start with because there is some kind of trauma in there that is causing an energetic block and it may be you know from something that happened last week and maybe from something that happened when they were five years old. And when you're talking trauma you're talking emotional trauma because of physical trauma. Right, although they can often go hand in hand, yeah. Do you find in general that individuals know what those emotional traumas are or is it through sitting down with you and talking that it comes out? I'd say 50-50. I'd say some people come in and they know you know my father was abusive to me and I'm still carrying this and some people come in and they're like you know every November I get so sad and feel like I can't you know get up in the morning and it only happens at this time of year what what is going on and it may take that may something like that that's deep-seated may take you know a number of sessions to kind of peel away those layers and get to the root of it but Star of Bethlehem is a big help with that. That's one of my favorites. Wow, now he was he started studying this in the 60s did you say? No he was actually um early 1900s. Wow. Yeah I think he was born in the late 1800s he was really active in the early 1900s and he died in the 1930s. So why isn't it you're one of two in Vermont why isn't it all over? It's much more common in Europe because he was British. It's very I mean you walk into any you know like what would be the equivalent of our Rite Aid or Kinney and Bogflower remedies are in there. So it's much more like just a natural like you know we may take aspirin in England it's just as common to take rescue remedy for an issue as it is to take you know ibuprofen. Wow. Yeah it's much more I mean it's in Ireland I remember I was in my 20s and I was so impressed I walked into a drug store a tiny drug store in Ireland and they had a whole array of bok remedies right there at the front of the counter like this is your first line you know we carry some other stuff but this is what we think you should start with and I was very impressed with that. I wish we you know here it's great that you know we've got co-ops and health food stores and everything that that make the bok remedies available to people but but I would love to see it be more the the first line that people go to instead of you know reaching for for medications prescription or otherwise. Heavy prescription oriented society yeah I don't remember how long ago it was when that started to be the norm to see commercials being advertising prescriptions but no I know it's crazy it's so widespread it's crazy yeah so um you talked about one that you use a lot what other ones white chestnut and what is that wonderful it is for and this is something almost everyone I talk to can relate to is kind of those racing mental thoughts those circular thoughts that kind of torture us and often people who come to me for insomnia issues white chestnut not always because it depends on the individual and what's causing it but I'd say a lion's share of the time white chestnut is a great help to people with insomnia because it's those racing thoughts that are keeping them from being able to settle into a restful state. Interesting now you're you're on a journey now of um pulling this together with the Reiki and spiritual healing yeah how how do you envision growing this uh to help the central Vermont community yeah we're in the process of building a healing yurt on our property and that's gonna be uh in middle sex okay yeah yeah we're um we're really close to like Romney school on the bandstand wonderful it's only about 10 15 minutes outside of Montpelier wonderful yeah and so that's gonna be um my new treatment space where I'll be able to do both because I find that they work really well together so if I'm either doing a Reiki session or a spiritual healing session or a combination of the two on someone that's right then and there we're dealing with someone but then I can make them a remedy to help them keep working on whatever we worked on in that healing session and then they take that every day for the next few weeks and then we check in so it's sort of um you're getting your treatment rate then and there and then you're supporting it with the remedies so that just reminded me I used to do um American Indian sweat lodges and at one point it was suggested that I take this tea and I think it was echinacea that sounds right and I over I over boiled it and I did too much and it was just the taste just it was just horrific for me and so now I think about anything that I'm tasting like this remedy is it sweet is it how does it taste and how do you take it so when you take these here this is my kit and this is what the remedies look like and they're little bottles and so when you take one this is the stock bottle and I will make people's personal remedies and like a um like a two ounce glass dropper bottle but it's mostly water and then you've got a number of drops of each of the remedies I choose for someone up to seven okay so it's very dilute it has a very lightly sweet taste and it's but it's very dilute so most people can't even detect a flavor so are they doing a dropper full or putting it into another drink or either there are no contraindications it's not like homeopathy you can take it with food you can take it with drink you can take it on its own there's no warnings the only thing is that there is brandy in the stock bottles for preservation so if someone has can't even tolerate a tiny bit of alcohol that's the only issue you said contraindications what does that mean um say with homeopathy like you cannot if you take homeopathic remedies you shouldn't have coffee or mint or anything strongly flavored like that okay close to it because it will negate the positive effects of the homeopathic remedy but you don't have to worry about that with box flower remedies okay you can take it anytime anywhere wow yeah I found really helpful for some people um I do usually use dropper bottles but some people like the spray bottles okay and find that you know because it's kind of unobtrusive people think it's breath spray so they can be there in their work meeting and just go you know if they're feeling tense you know and go spritz spritz spritz and people think it's breath spray and they don't have to know that they're really you know trying to bring themselves back into balance nice so um because you're not working out of a space right now but you do have this traveling show are you seeing many people in the area or are you yeah I'm still seeing a few um I will yeah I will like come into Montpelier and go to people's homes now once we have the year it up that will be it'll be great because I'll be able to have like my rakey table and everything and all of I have a huge healing library so I'm hoping to kind of make that available to people what a great idea yeah I have a lot of books I used to run bookstores so like real honesty goodness books honest to goodness yeah so what are some of your favorite books that you've um gotten a lot out of that you don't hear about from in general or specifically Bach in general well I am a lately I've been drawn a lot to to the spiritual healing work so I've been Anita Morjani um I did a workshop with her at Omega a couple months ago where's that Omega Institute it's on the Hudson okay right back yeah uh with her and John Holland and both of their books have been very very instrumental in kind of the way my path has gone what's the names of the titles of the books so she has two books the first one is about her near-death experience at like the actual um all the events that led up to it the experience itself and the impact it had on her life and then her second book that just came out is more about the teachings the learnings the wisdom she received when she went to the other side we spell her last name yeah M-O-O-R-J-A-N-I Anita Morjani and his name John Holland and he is a world famous medium uh but he does a lot more um he does a lot of healing work too it's not just uh spirit communication though he does a lot of spirit communication fascinating yeah well I can't wait for you to get this you're up and running yes we're working on it we're putting the platform up now what's the estimated we're hoping to have it up by winter but we'll see if this rain will hold off a little and let us do it it's been a weird summer for weather yeah well thank you so much I really really appreciate your coming in and and talking to our audience about this it feels like there's so much more that could be discussed and maybe we'll have you back for another session later on I'd love that awesome afraid that that's all the time we have today dear ones thank you thank you thank you for joining us for another episode of you and your health I hope that you found something here that will be helpful to you and until next time namaste


Let's talk about options. I'm going to make a few videos on Fundamentals fundamental concepts of options. This will be part one. I'm gonna I'm gonna cover strikes Months and then a few strategies. Let's go into strikes Strike selection is very important because your option will behave differently and give you different characteristics depending on where it is relative to the current stock price I'm gonna use snapchat and snapchat right now is around 11 dollars now I'm comfortable with the fundamentals of snapchat. I know it's been in the 40 50 60 dollar range and Almost five six dollars. So that gives me an idea of the value. I know it's gonna grow over time So it has a bright future. It's growing between 10 and 20 and sometimes even more than that every year It's finally profitable. So given that fundamental valuation, I'm gonna be bullish and I'm gonna focus on the calls and Depending on the call, I will get a bigger exposure or smaller exposure Or I will get some time decay time decay is when I pay for an option That's far away or above 11 dollars and this is upside down. So 11 12 13 14, etc If I buy a further higher up option or on the table, it's lower I am paying for the option to buy at a specific strike higher up So my break even is higher up and and I'm paying for that. So let's here's an example If I'm buying the 13 call call means up call up I'm paying in this case 12 cents times 100 One option controls a hundred shares. So I'm paying 12 13 cents 13 dollars because times a hundred and I get to buy it. I get the privilege of buying it at 13, which is higher than the current price of 11 so in order for that option to make money it has to go past 13 and More than what I paid. So maybe 13 50 or 14 or 15 or a hundred, but it has to be higher than my strike now If I buy a deeper in the money, which means below the current stock price Let's say I buy the five call That that option will have an easier time making money, but it costs more it has less leverage But there's less or almost no time decay Theoretically, I might be paying five Maybe six let's say six dollars because it's 550 on 650 if I pay six dollars six plus 11 Six plus five, which is a strike is 11. I'm buying the five strike Which means I'm paying six dollars and my cost basis will be six dollars plus the five strike, which is 11 So there's no excess premium in this example Except a few cents. I start making money right away if it goes to 13 I should already be up two dollars. However, I am paying six dollars in this example Which means six hundred dollars to control a hundred. It's a it's a bigger option But it makes money right away. I have to have six hundred dollars in this trade Or I have or I can have $13 in the other trade. So you see how if I think it's gonna go up a lot Maybe it'd be worth it to buy the gambling Option but my break even my cost basis is higher up if I'm gonna use that high leverage option If I if I knew the future which I don't and nobody else does You would you would know exactly which one to buy But if you're more conservative and you want the best cost basis and only a little bit of leverage You're gonna look at those in the money options To to be more conservative have a lower cost basis still that five strike is still two to one leverage So it still doubles your upside and also doubles your downside if you buy the 11 11 strike your overpaying 62 cents for the premium and you start making profits from from 11 plus the 62 From there on you make money. So that might not be a bad choice For some some people and you can't lose more than the premium and that's just for calls This is just strike selection the next video. I'm gonna cover how each different month behaves So that's another variable the strikes behave differently and then the months over time they behave differently Why don't you follow and you can see the next one?


there's a whole bunch of different capabilities that we provide. You know, it's a placement and access that we are able to get planes, people, equipment into areas that are otherwise kind of cut off. And then the other aspect of CCT is the joint terminals, hat control or the JTAC, where we are able to nominate targets, talk to planes and call in airstrikes on targets.


Hi, I'm George Cao. Something Einstein said I thought was interesting. He said, it's not that I'm so smart. It's that I stay with problems longer than most people. And I thought, gosh, well, Einstein is known to be really smart, but isn't it true that whenever you have been willing to stay with some problem you're trying to solve, for long enough, you eventually have some kind of breakthrough. And so in this today's short video, I just want to remind you and encourage you to name your work, not just as, oh, I'm creating a plan and implementing a plan. I'm working on some document or something like that. But what if you today, you name your work for what is really the higher work, which is to stay with a challenging project for just a bit longer. And that's what I'm encouraging you to do today, is when you feel like running away from a challenging project, when you're working on it and you're fidgety, and you just feel like doing something else, going to some distraction, I invite you to stay just a little bit longer by staying just a little bit longer with your challenging project. What you're doing is you are growing your muscles of willpower. You're increasing your ability to be disciplined or to do that which you set an intention to do. You're also giving you yourself a higher chance of when you'll have that breakthrough that will change everything in that project.  Until the next video, I wish you well.


the border is secure, as the administration has said, then why would we need to send 1500 active duty U.S. troops down there? It's a good question. Because we need more work. We need more work needs to be done, Peter.  We put forth a comprehensive immigration legislation and Congress of Republicans in Congress can refuse to act. Wow, I mean the Republicans. I didn't see that one coming. It's just so maddening because you know that you'll get away with this because this is exactly what the rest of the media does. Blame the Republicans. However, the truth of the matter is Republicans don't go along with Democrats on these things because Democrats always insert a bunch of things that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration reform, just like the Inflation Reduction Act has absolutely nothing to do with reducing inflation. The fact of the matter is that Democrats had control of this country for two years and could have done something about immigration if they wanted to, but they didn't because they don't want to do anything about it. They want as many people flooding across the border as possible because they believe that this is going to be a powerful new voting block for the Democrat Party that will keep them in perpetual power. And so the president has used the tools that he has in front of him to prepare ahead of Title 42 lifting as you know that is happening in the next couple of days. Right, which is going to cause even more illegal immigration across the border. Title 42 under Trump was keeping illegal immigrants in Mexico while they waited on their asylum cases, but now lifting it will bring all those people into this country. Making a bad situation even worse. But yeah, it's all the Republicans fault. I'm sorry. He's being dramatic.  No, we're going to go. We're going to move.  We're moving here. Let's go. No, we're going to go. We're going to move.  We're moving here. Let's go. I'm freaking real. She wanted to get out of there as quick as possible, obviously, because she has no good responses to Ducey's fact check. KJP did a lot of running today. Another reporter. I'm not sure who asked her about Hunter Biden, his child support, and the fact that Joe Biden doesn't acknowledge one of his granddaughters. And it went about as well. I wanted to ask about the trial going on in Arkansas with Hunter Biden and the child support of the president and first lady monitoring that. And how come they haven't acknowledged the son of grandchild? I'm not going to speak to that from here. Go ahead. Why are you running? Why are you running? That's all I have for that one. Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed it, please hit that like button, share it, and make sure to leave a comment to vent some of those frustrations. Thanks a lot. I'll see you all in the next one.


and everybody's going to school. And you know that their schools happen in different places. The B cells are going to school in the bone marrow, the T cells are going to school in the thymus, but they both start out as naïves. Oh, well, let's say the first thing that they do is they're going to pick a receptor. So I mean receptor for T cells, I mean antibody for B cells. They're going to pick their specific little guy now. It's insane when you think about how many different possible antibodies slash receptors can be produced. Think about all the stuff out there that is not you, you would want to have your lymphocytes able to detect or able to respond to. Think about all the different cold viruses that you want your lymphocytes to be able to specifically respond to. It's absolutely mind-boggling. And the way that this incredible diversity is generated is through gene shuffling. So they pick a naïve T cell and a naïve B cell, they actually, they're considered naïve, and that just means that they're not ready to rock yet. They're still babies, but they shuffle their genes and they pick their specific receptor. And once they've committed to their specific antibody or their specific T cell receptor, they go to school. So both of them pick a receptor, they're both considered naïve cells, and then they go to school. Both of them participate in negative selection school. Maybe I should say negative selection class. One of their classes they have to take is negative selection. And this one involves just making sure that you do not bind to self. And if you pass this class, then you are going to be self-tolerant. So if you pass, you're self-tolerant. If you don't pass, that means that you actually stick to self-molecules. Your receptor binds to you, and that's bad, right? So guess what happens? 95% of the naïve lymphocytes fail. And guess what they have to do? They don't go through necrosis. They go through apoptosis.  Like, if you don't pass this class, you're done.  You picked a bad receptor. So 5% pass rate where, yeah, they are self-tolerant. This happens with both of them. I should have put it in the B cell category so that we had a little bit more room, but I guess it makes sense to keep it in the T cell or in the middle because it is related to both of them. T cells. T cells don't get to call it the end of the story there. They actually carry on, and they have to go to positive selection class. And in positive selection class, you check to make sure you can bind to MHC platforms. What? So does that give you a hint about what T cells are actually going to do? I hope so. Positive selection class means you can bind to MHC. Now, the fact is that some of them need to bind to MHC2 to get activated. Some of them need to bind to MHC1 to carry out their actual function, like why we even have them in the first place. So if they pass positive selection school, then they are considered immunocompetent. And we're going to come back to this, and we're going to remind ourselves of this because right now you might be like, dude, why is it different? And why do I care if they're immunocompetent? They have different ways of becoming mature. Right now they are at school, and if a big if, if they passed negative selection school, then they are self-tolerant, and if they passed positive selection school, then they're immunocompetent. They're still naive cells. They're still naive lymphocytes. However, they have functional receptors. So now they can go out and at least patrol, 5% of everybody that we sent to school is going to go out because they have graduated, and they can go out and patrol the area. What do you think they're patrolling for? They're patrolling for their specific antigen. And how they do that is dependent on whether they're B cells or they're T cells. So in the next section, we're going to look at MHC2 because we talked about MHC1, everybody has it. Everybody posts their news on MHC1, but MHC2 is required for activation of a naive lymphocyte. So if you're naive, you can't just find your antigen and then be like, awesome, nuclear warfare, let's do this. There's like a whole bunch of checks and balances, thank goodness, because they're babies. They don't know anything yet. And so there have to be other people to activate those naive lymphocytes before they're mature and they can carry out the actual effects. So let's look at the MHC2 platform and see what role it plays in the activation process.


Today's video I'm just going to talk about my hair. I haven't done a hair update in quite a long time so I figured it was time to update you guys on how my hair has been doing this the current state of my hair and the health of my hair. So basically it's been two years since my big chop and um let's just say I'm not quite where I want to be yet um I thought my hair would be longer but it is pretty long so it is like it's right above my boob so it's about to hit boob length soon probably within the next few months I'll actually like hit it right it will be hitting right at my boobs I said boobs too many times um anyways so yes it's shoulder length right now and I um have it flat ironed and I didn't um flat iron it bone straight because I'm not even really trying to flat iron my hair in the first place I pretty much flat ironed my hair just to see how long it was and if I needed another trim now the last time I got a trim was back in April I think and I actually talked about my trim because I got it done at Supercuts which I have a video on and I'll link that in the cards up there um so that you can see um my trim experience at Supercuts but um yeah I think I might go back for another trim probably before the new year um I don't have uh many split ends or anything I do have some single strand knots which are like the most annoying thing that a natural can go through like I hate single strand knots because they have to be cut off whenever there's a single strand knot it's pretty much going to break off so to prevent breakage from happening I do have to get rid of these single strand knots and prevent any breakage and more split ends than I actually need to be having so um yeah I plan on getting another trim before the new year so that would make um two trims in one year which is pretty normal um I'm really trying to like stay diligent about keeping my hair as healthy as possible because after my big chop um I didn't even get a trim for a whole year so that probably hindered my um length retention a lot I probably could have been like at shoulder blade or I mean um I can't talk I could have been below shoulder blade by now if I got a proper trim as soon as I big chopped um and um it's not even all about trimming your hair it's also after you trim and of course keeping up with the health of your hair especially when it comes to um keeping it moisturized and things like that which brings me to my laziness factor my laziness factor is was through the roof probably through the whole summer and going into fall like I barely touched my hair much um I kept it either in a poof or in a bun a lot of the time which is good because I was protecting my ends but also bad because I would be lazy and not take it out to moisturize and seal the hair which is like crucial when it comes to length retention so slacking on moisturizing my hair um definitely definitely held me back as as far as length retention goes also when you moisturize your hair it prevents single strand single strand ups from happening and that's probably why I have quite a few single strand knots on my ends because I haven't been moisturizing enough and keeping them in keeping your hair in a puff or in a bun all of the time it will actually uh cause your hair to wrap around itself and create single strand knots and breakage and things like that when you take it down when you try to come through it you will also get breakage then so I I just haven't been doing a good job when it comes to moisturizing and sealing my hair I try to do it at least every other day because it's not totally necessary for me to do it every day my hair does do a good job in holding in moisture but when I don't take it down at least every other day to moisturize it it gets really dry and I end up with a rat's nest so there's good things though my heat damage has been growing out because I've definitely been laying off the heat um well I won't say I haven't been laying off the heat but I do like to blow dry my hair I like to blow dry my hair because it stretches out the hair obviously and it is actually easier to manage um and I like to do my band two knots you know like the spiral curls on blow dried hair because it just comes out much nicer I haven't been flat earning after blow drying so I've only been blow drying and of course I've been blow drying on low heat so it hasn't created any additional heat damage on top of what I already had so it um I don't know I feel like when I do blow dry my hair it's not such a bad thing because I've been blow drying on low I've been using heat protectant and I've noticed my um you know my roots coming back so my heat damaged hair is growing out slowly but surely and it's going to be around for a while because I don't plan on chopping off the damage ends so I'm just going to hold on to them even though they're quite annoying and I'm not able to do like proper wash and go goals um I'm not able to do proper wash and goes um like I used to like I want them to look because of the heat damage ends not curling like they should be but it's not a big deal because I don't do many wash and goes to begin with so it's not one of my favorite hair styles to do I like other styles like twist outs and band two knots and things like that so I'm not too worried about that um so I did buy a few more products to help me retain moisture like I bought a new leaf in yesterday um or not yesterday the other day and I used it yesterday and um it actually really really helped keep my hair soft through the blow drying and flat earning process but anyways um things I plan on doing to you know continue with my hair journey I I am not concerned too much with the length of my hair even though I do want it to be longer I mean who doesn't want long hair and I do feel like I look better with long hair than short hair to be honest like it's just a preference I feel like my face fits and a lot of people uh say the same thing like when I wear my wig and it's long like it just compliments my face better I don't know if it's because I don't know I have like a long face or something I don't know but um yes I do want to grow my hair um out longer it's getting long so I'm pretty happy about that um my hair isn't extremely thick so when I do flat iron it I don't really like the look of it which is why I want to invest in some nice clip ins when I do want to iron my hair and uh I can just clip them in and I'll have fuller longer hair and it will look awesome but I do also want to invest in more wigs more wigs that I can you know keep my hair under and not worry about it and wear it as a protective style so that I'm not messing around with my hair too much um I might actually do some Senegalese twists but I want to do it myself because it's so expensive to get them done and I'm not willing to pay $200 just to get some Senegalese twist installed when I can do it myself I sort of kind of know how to do it but I'm not that good at it so I just got to get better and I need to buy hair for it and just do it one day um but um I might do that sometimes this winter maybe I'll think about it but yeah I just want to like start doing better protective styles besides just buns because when I throw it in a bun I end up not touching my hair for like a week that's just not good for your hair so I need to incorporate new protective styles invest in wigs so that I can be cute while I'm protecting my hair and um things like that so I mean other than that I just need to keep up with moisturizing my hair and I'll be fine so I just wanted to update you guys in case you were wondering uh what's been going on with my hair because I haven't done many hair videos in a while if you have any questions make sure you comment down below and I'll answer them for you and make

Last hundred meters Hard as you can big hard as you can Welcome to fill my room. This is not our best idea ever. We did an interval session last night and Due to time constraints and work and various things We're doing another interval session today in the rain on the track. We're doing Yasu 800s With Victoria, so this is this is Victoria's session not mine. We're going to go at Victoria's pace So we're going to do four laps of the track first just to warm up Right, we've just done 1600 meters four laps of the track with four strides Thrown in just to loosen up the legs a bit So the idea is if you want to do a four-hour marathon You come to the track and You run ten times 800 meters and each of those 800 meter reps you do in four minutes So if you can do ten times 800 meters at four minutes per 800 Then that suggests that you are on track to do a four-hour marathon. So that's what we're doing today We're doing ten times 800 meters around the track with a 200 meter recovery walk or just slow jog recovery Before we do the next rep. So let's get going and and start doing that So that's our first one done and we did it way too fast We're going for three minutes 50 per 800 and we did that first one in three minutes 43 So we were seven seconds too quick and that was with a massive slowdown in the last 40 meters We're just walking out 200 meters and Then we'll do our second set and all I'm trying to do is hang on to you. I've got no idea No, no, that's fine. You just hang on to me. I'm supposed to be doing the timing I just didn't do a very good job on the first one, but we'll do a good job on the second one That pace was more comfortable than I was expecting Yeah But I couldn't maintain that for 10 Well, we're gonna do it for 10 reps It's not that much slower Right here we come up to the line. So we're gonna go for our second rep. So we've done three laps, how are you feeling after after three? It's hard work Okay, I'm doing it. Well, and we're also going faster than planned so We were planning for 350 We're doing about three fourths five per loop In all honesty before we started When you were saying the figures, I didn't even think I could do one eight hundred Right, well, you've done three. We've got seven to go It's not quite vomit inducing, but we're not far off We'll see what you like at the end Six done four to go just started lap number seven or rep number seven Right seven done Three to go But what Victoria doesn't know is for these last three, we're just gonna go a tiny bit quicker Each one just a little bit quicker. I'm not telling her in case it frightens her So please don't don't tell her in the comments either and if you're enjoying this video, please do hit subscribe We're trying to get as close to 10 We're trying to get as close to 10,000 subscribers as we can in the next few months few weeks years, whatever Victoria suffer. Yeah hashtag watch Victoria vomit. Okay ready to go Victoria 333 for that lap. I didn't mean to go quite that quick. I was hoping for 335 so We're gonna have to do the next one quicker and the last one the fastest yet Two to go if she if she dies, I don't get the insurance apparently All right, there's the start line for our penultimate rep Penultimate 800 we need to do this in 332 333 or faster So here we go big three two one 330 330 for that penultimate 800 Okay So we've got one more to go Yeah, we'll do controlled first lap, but then we'll push as hard as we can right here.  Let's go So we've got 400 meters come on big 200 and everything you've got now everything come on that's 100 meters Hard as you can be hard as you can Come on 325 for that last rep Saturday I did 16 kilometers on the treadmill on Sunday I did 42 kilometers on the hills 1200 meters of elevation on Monday I did Is it 10 K 10 K commuter on on the treadmill? Last night I did 7 K hard effort intervals and today I've just taken the afternoon off work 10 800 according to the Yasu 800 rule if you can do 10 800s in 3 minutes 50 seconds for those 800s then you on you're on track to successfully complete a marathon in three hours 50 minutes When we started the first one I went off too quick But then the second one I thought let's just let's just keep it the same and Victoria held on So it was 343 and then another 343 ish something like that and and actually We never went below that and for the last three or four we got quicker and quicker So Victoria has managed 10 800s in well under 350 per 800 And probably could have gone could have done a consistent 340 per 800 so Along with the long runs and the all the other training that you have to do It's not just that you know, you don't just rock up and do a Yasu 800 And then think you can run a marathon in that time, but along with all the other training the long runs It's a gauge yet it is a gauge of where you are and I think Victoria is passed with flying colors today So that is it. Thank you very much for watching. That's another film my run epic production Over and done with from from the award-winning film my run Please hit that subscribe button and we'll see you for the next one. Take care Apologies if you were waiting to see me vomit. Oh, yeah, I didn't happen. Did it? Yeah, take care. See you for the next one. Bye. Bye We want to do more running now. What's the matter with you? Okay Victoria's doing a cool then. I'll just say Well you go and I'll join you in a sec What's the matter? Well good for her. Right, I suppose better go and join me then


Well, hello everybody and welcome to a plan with me today. We are gonna be working on Monday December 26th through Sunday January 1 we are gonna be officially into the new year this week.   I took a sick day I was planning on filming this video today anyways, and I'm also packing for Florida But the reason I'm filming this so far in advance is because I don't have a tripod setup like this in Florida So I wouldn't be able to do that I will be in Christmas or in Christmas in Florida this week for the Christmas holiday And then as you see this on Monday December 26th, I will still be in Florida for two days So anyway, um, I am going to, you know, just start planning So I don't have anything like interesting to share from the last couple of weeks because it hasn't happened yet in my world Even though it's already happened in yours So the joys of pre-filming be really helpful if I could like line this up properly. Here we go I'm feeling better already today. It's about one o'clock. I finally got like two hours of sleep I think I ate something bad yesterday to be like completely honest. I think that is The problem. So anyway, but um, okay, so today is um, not today But this week is New Year's week, so I want to do like a silver and gold theme This is from my Chrissy and Designs the celebrations collection I'm gonna be using some stuff from this kit as well as I might be using some of these these are from the little sticker packs that are new from Erin Condren I'll be leaving a link below. The reason I pulled these out is because they have this silver and gold Which is kind of like the theme I'm trying to go with for this week And then I've got some other things. I want to put in there as well. So since I did gold here I'm gonna do like a silver for my work schedule Which will only be Wednesday Thursday Friday because I come back into town on When or sorry, I come back into town on Tuesday I'll put my flight information stuff in in a second. I've never used this washi And why is this so incredibly difficult to find the edge? Ha ha. Oh, it's one of these.  Well, I guess I'm gonna use it but oh I hate these ones that are like the papers behind it Ah Whatever All right Because they're just like so hard to use.  So since I can kind of see through this, I'm going to Just put this in over the times Helpful if I could line it up properly like I feel so much better you guys But oh, I'm still so much on that struggle bus today Oh by the time this video goes up the illness will be out of my body, which is good But I just just hit me like a ton of bricks last night. I'm like, okay Maybe I'll feel better in the morning and then Kind of fell a little bit better, but then also I hadn't slept all night. So that was a problem You know what I'm saying if I need to like get up and function and stuff I've got to be able to Comprehend some things and I had no comprehension level this morning. I'll tell you what 7 a.m. To 3 p.m. Right here. I think I just need to like give away all of these Things that I have like this like all these washes because they bother me so much So much. I don't know. Let me know if you guys think I should do like a giveaway on Instagram or something for all these Washies that have this or if anyone of you even be interested. I don't know. I mean they frustrate the heck out of me So like I don't even want them.  All right, so I'm gonna put in Work on here since I'm only officially working three days at the office I am actually still gonna be working While I'm on vacation because I am working on my on a manual for work So that is something that's kind of easy enough to do remotely and it's actually better if I'm like Not disturbed while I'm doing it because if I'm in the office It's just kind of a little hectic with you know being pulled in a few different directions You know what I'm saying then I have Garbage and recycling that needs to go out on a Wednesday. So that'll be up here little tabby guy out All right, I'll still be in Florida That's to signify Florida And I'm still vlogging all the way up to the 31st. I don't know if I'm gonna vlog on the first probably not So I need to put in More washy which I didn't grab so let me grab some more washy this little washy sample It's kind of like this brocade looking one. I don't know. Come on. Oh my gosh. Can't do anything right today, you guys Can't do anything right today. Just make sure I'm still filming. Okay. Goodness. Well, at least I'm filming Half the pedal right there And yes, I have done that before where I have not actually been filming when I thought I was and then I have to redo it Thankfully knock on What I'm not gonna knock loud cuz the dogs don't start barking thinking someone's at the door, but no one is I Have thankfully never had that happen during a plan with me. So that is good I have had it happen with other videos But it's not like it's easy enough to start the filling process over but at least I'm not actually showing work That's being done. I'm just like talking or I can just redo it But yeah, thankfully it's never happened during a plan with me yet. I'm sure I'm sure it will at some point because Such is the life of a YouTube person things like that just happen sometimes. So, oh, whoops, I need to take this out Should I vlog on Sunday? Maybe I will I don't know. I'm gonna leave that just open for right now and Then I'm gonna use one of these little bad boys vlog I'm gonna use one of these little guys Indicate obviously vlog as well, but using a lot of yellow stickers this week because it's kind of like gold But it's not gold, especially if I can't find the you know proper sticker or whatever All right, so Friday is my payday. So I'm just gonna put in this little dollar sign It's like extra cute the helpful if my dollar sign didn't look drunk Still a little drunk that's okay Whatever we're just gonna go with it little weekend guy up because I think it's cute I've been wanting to use this one of the weekends. Obviously, there's two of them. So Been wanting to use this Maybe Maybe I don't know. I feel like my stickers look a little drunk sometimes, but You know, maybe maybe that's okay. All right So I'm gonna write in Florida and put that over here. Obviously. I know I'm in Florida But you know gotta gotta figure it out sometimes and I need to check on my flight back I'm really not sure what time I fly back to Minnesota. So let me check on that. So I fly at 8 a.m Put all that information in Flying out of Orlando. All right. Okay, so I arrive at 10 30. Let's see here Hmm I think I'm actually gonna use one of these little guys. I think this might be kind of cute I don't know. Maybe this is silly. So if I arrive at 10 30 Put this in we'll cover up the times like that I'll put my little gold airline ticket thing in there these airline tickets Actually, I'll put this up a little bit These are actually from I think it was Lily Henry. I got them I think I got them about a year and a half ago. She might still have these up in her shop I'll link I link all the Etsy shops and all the like sources that I use down below if you guys are ever Interested in checking them out. There's always never any guarantee that the shops still have this stuff or are even open anymore I mean, I've run into that a couple of times too, but whatever we're getting through it So I'm getting back pretty early on Tuesday So I'm pretty sure that I am gonna go food shopping that day Let's see here. I'm just gonna put this in. I have no idea where I'm gonna go yet But I love these little like Baskets from coffee break planner. They're super freaking cute. And then I just usually just write in where I'm going I might actually go to Aldi. I still haven't ventured out to Aldi I know I've been talking about going out to Aldi, but I still have never done that I need to like I need to just get on it.  I can't remember Anyway, if you guys have any tips or any like good Aldi brand things to buy Like let me know in the comments because I would be really interested to know Obviously, I'll be you'll be watching this on a Monday And then I'm traveling that morning So I'll be checking the comments on Monday evening and then Tuesday early morning or after you know I get home and stuff too. So alright, so I'm just gonna put in some things for backing up my files because with the vlogging It's been a little ridiculous with the backing up the files So I need to keep reminding myself to do that My computer does not like to work really well for me when I have a ton of content on my computer So I need to always make sure to you know back up the files a couple of times a week So just like a little nice little indicator in my in my plan. Okay, so We got to put in the videos. So let's do that What I want to do for videos actually I think I'm gonna use these these are also from coffee big planner I love these half boxes. I actually busted out my other sheets, too This is like a gray and a black and then this is like the you know kind of golden yellow I think I've got a little bit too much gold going on So I want to like mix it up with some of the black too. So I think for this one. I'm gonna use a marker and We'll use this I tried finding actually last week These YouTube stickers and I know what shop they're from but the shop unfortunately no longer exists. So sorry about that But that happens, but I'm gonna keep using what I have because you know, I just I just want to be able to use what I've got I don't want to just you know waste stuff and I'm saying like I don't know I obviously bought it because I liked it. So I've got you plan with me Which is Down here December favorites will go up on Wednesday. I have not filmed that. I'm actually planning on filming that in Florida I do have a tripod there, but just doesn't have like this down feature like this one has So and then I will be filming maybe even tonight. I don't know when but I will be filming the Friday video I'm gonna do a 2016 goals recap if you guys remember last year if you've been watching me for a year Maybe some of you have some of you have it I did a 2016 goals video and I said I was going to recap that at the end of this year So I wanted to put that up obviously like the next year I will be having a 2017 goals video that will be happening sometime in January for you guys too So but I wanted to recap that to kind of talk about you know what I've done what I haven't done What was a challenge for me? What wasn't a child? You know all that kind of stuff So yeah, but let's do some other things in here gotta put in like laundry and such Hmm, I thought I had some laundry stickers around here Maybe I am mistaken. Hmm Found my laundry stickers. They were hiding on me. All right, so they are all heel Alright, so I think I'm just gonna use the Whoops the darker of the laundry these are my favorite laundry stickers from Christian designs They're like my faves. I keep going through them, but I don't care So let's see. Um, so I am gonna do this right here actually Hold on a second. I'm gonna put this down. This is from this little sheet from Aaron Kondren So the last weekend of the month typically it's the last weekend Sometimes it's the first weekend just kind of depends on the months or like how they figure themselves out I am going to I always wash like all my bedding So like comforters duets like all that kind of stuff that needs to be done as well as I will wash all of my makeup brushes too It's just like a nice kind of reminder at the very end of the month early beginning of the month You know just kind of depending on where you're at I'll put the little laundry thing on the top and then I use these like little indicators I know this really doesn't go like it's not really on trend with the colors that I'm using But this is all I have and you know, like I said before I'm just gonna keep it going So we're gonna put like a little my little makeup brush right here My little makeup brushes and then we're gonna put the little bedding right there too So it's kind of like an all-day laundry extravaganza honestly, but I can have that going well You know doing videos and like all that other kind of stuff. So also I need to Do Doyle's meds So that is going to happen as well Let's see. We'll do some paw prints. So that needs to happen This day, you normally gets his monthly meds in the morning. He gets meds every day, but Since these are clear, which is kind of nice. I'm just gonna like lay this over and see You know, which one I want to do I'm gonna use this little guy right here and I can't remember where I got these These are from some like I think they were like a Japanese seller By the way, Doyle is a Shiba Inu, which is from Japan if you're interested to know and I think this was a Japanese seller on Etsy I don't think they're in business anymore or if they are they've changed their name because I can't find them I've tried to find them for a while and then these little stickers. I just got at I think like Michaels or Joanns or something. They're just like little black paw prints and then I'm just gonna write Meds right here. Just so I know what's going on with the popper. Oh, and now that I look at it I totally should use this weekend banner and not this one, but that's okay. I still like it Well, do I want to lift it up? Hold on. Hold on I might want to just swap this out if I can do a little planner surgery kids See Let's see if I can save save the sticker. Oh, I think I can save the sticker since it was like mostly Washi oh, no the tail broke. Oh, I broke the tail. That's all right. I'll make it work Put her back down actually doesn't look bad without the little tail, but that's all right surgery. Yay. All right, so let's do this one Just because it says weekend 2017 like when am I ever gonna use this sticker again like never That's pretty much how I feel about that So let's just cover up the dates. We'll push this down just a little bit, too and As of right now as you guys know if you've been watching my vlogs, I am super boring So I don't have any plans for New Year's Eve slash New Year's Day. All right So I think I'm gonna put this in at the little bottom over here Because someone actually asked me a really good question on one of my vlogs already I'm gonna put this little Steve over here, too This little one says I hope to dot dot dot and then you just kind of write in whatever and it has a little 2017 Steve which is really cute. So anyway, um one of you guys I had to like stop the video and restart it so I don't know where I left off But one of you guys that actually asked me a really good question I asked for some questions on one of my vlogmas videos because I didn't really have anything to talk about one day But anyway, so I actually asked you guys for questions And one of you had sent me a message saying what is gonna be your word or phrase for 2017? And my answer was progress. So I'm gonna write that into here saying I hope to make progress the reason why Progress is the word for me is I feel like it's a hopeful word I feel like it's a positive word as well and we can all make progress whether it's personal professional Family life, you know in any kind of relationship. We can always just make crop progress I mean that's that's all we can do is make progress because we're always evolving and we're always moving forward So in my little Steve guy, I'm going to say I hope to make progress I'll put the little champagne bottle there, too Because I've got all this negative space, you know, I left myself a little too much space But as for video filming and stuff this week I don't know what my schedule is gonna be because I don't know what's gonna be done since this is like So far out and my like next planner hasn't started yet So I'm gonna be in a new planner right after this I have gotten a lot of questions recently, especially on my Instagram of which planner I'm going to be using next year and it will be an Aaron Condren hourly in the neutral pattern I did show it in a haul a long while back like back this summer But it doesn't start until January 1 so that's good with me But that is gonna be it for this plan with me I hope you guys enjoyed if you have any questions feel free to post them below and I will get back to you I will be linking all of the things I talked about down below for you guys as well If you are interested in checking out any of these shops if you are watching this on Monday December 26th I am still in Florida enjoying the nice warm weather But we'll be sadly going back to Minnesota very soon to enjoy the cold Chandra that is the North.

The scene has been processed. We've currently been assisted by officers from the Ethical Standards Command, a pathologist from the Nambu Hospital and we're just processing the scene. Have you been able to interview the family involved? There are a large number of witnesses that need to be interviewed. Obviously family is important, but there were neighbours that have some pretty important information to give us and they're being interviewed at the moment. Obviously you said a lot of witnesses were any of them children? There are children and adults that need to be spoken to, yes. How's everyone holding up, including officers? It's obviously been a traumatic experience. No one comes to work wanting this. You know, you do train for it, but it's obviously something we don't want. So it's been difficult obviously for the police involved and obviously the family or the person. Do you have any further details about what weapon the police officers were being threatened with? That's still a matter under investigation by the Ethical Standards Command, but I can confirm that he did have a weapon. The incident was quite confronting from my understanding and it's a matter that we'll put before the coroner. And what now? What's next? There's still a lot of work to be done. It's obviously the processing of the house. There is evidence that needs to be identified within the dwelling. So police will be on scene for at least tonight and late tomorrow. Was the man who was shot by police, was he known to police previously? He's not known to Queensland. I don't know a lot about the gentleman. Well, did the family have a history of domestic violence, including violence? Yeah.


So, what do you guys wanna do today? I don't know, I'm kinda bored. It's gonna be a museum. Ooh, no. Exactly. I know what we should do. What? Do you guys feel? Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, I don't know, I don't know. Should we all say it on three? Wait, hold on. Say it on three. What? Let's do this. Let's make a game plan, all right. Eric, you're gonna be doing the hair mask hacks. Oh, got it. Can you handle that one? Great. Melissa. I'm gonna put you on styling hacks. I'm gonna wear you into styling hacks. You're gonna do that. And I'm gonna take one for the team and I'm gonna do the dry shampoo hacks. All right, you guys ready for this? Let's do this. Yeah. Let's do this. Posey wants to try a new technique involving drawing on hair directly through a stencil. Pick out a star-shaped stencil. Place it directly against the hair and apply the color spray. The design turns out colorful and cosmic. It looks great on Linda. Let's do it. Do it. All right, I'm taking my stencil. Eric, we're gonna spell your name on your head. No, yes. I've always wanted to do this.  Eric, don't move. Oh, f**k. Ah! Oh. Wait, what? You're telling me this is tiresome.  Uh-oh. I f**ked up. This is a hack if I have ever seen one. Can you see it? Can we do a dollar sign? Do Eric, Eric, Eric money? Oh, is it a work? Start in. So, I don't know if I'd exactly call that one a hack, but pretty fun, pretty good. I think I'd probably call it. I'd highly recommend spray-painting your hair with a stencil or something and making it look exactly. That's a hair hack. This idea, we took regular bobby pins and pipe cleaners, green and yellow. Hot glue the bobby pins to both ends of the wire. Do the same with the other pieces of wire. Make a bun. Wrap it with yellow wire. Fasten the wire to the hair with hair pins. Insert the green wire bent in half in the middle of the bun. Bend the upper part slightly to make it look like leaves. With this summer fruit hairstyle, you will become the star of any beach party. Okay, Melissa. Yes, Dad.  I think that everybody needs to know how to execute a pineapple bun. Exactly. And this is gonna be the hack of the century. I love it. We're gonna put SpongeBob to shame. To shame. To shame. Bikini bottom could never. We got green and yellow pipe cleaners. Is that what they're called? Yeah, pipe cleaners, pineapple cleaners. And we don't have a glue gun. So, we're gonna make two, why do we have? Because I failed at preparing. What a surprise. All right, so we're gonna just twist it on. They use glue for literally no reason. Yeah, no. It's so extra. They just wanted to be extra. Wait, look at this one. It's like weird. Let's try and do just the normal ones. Not that there's anything wrong with being different. There's really not, but today there is. Yeah. We got it. Step one complete. All right, Melissa. We're going on step two. We're making a bun. Okay.   Wait, are your bun is done? Okay. So, we're gonna move on to the next step. Buns are done. We're gonna build out the pineapple. Great. Okay, so they didn't really give me a lot of direction, but that's okay. This is totally a hack.   Oh, that's the worst. I know. You have to carve out the whole thing. Make sure it doesn't drip on you. Oh my God. So, we're working around the bun. Eric, are we getting some pineapple action? Yeah, yeah, I see it. I see it. Wow, just what I've always wanted. It totally looks like a real pineapple. Perfect. Now, let's add some leaves. Melissa, head up, please. She stabbed her head on the way in. Love a good stab. Melissa, really compliment your head shape. Oh my God, thank you. This is where you're wearing out tonight, right? Oh yeah. Here you go. Wow. If this ain't it. Oh, oh damn. Oh shoot, you look good. Oh shoot, y'all do pineapple buns. Oh shoot. If this ain't it, I don't know what it is. Yeah, ladies, hide your man at home. Hide your man's, hide your wife's. So this bun is coming out tonight. Melissa, that's how you do a pineapple bun, guys. Yeah, in case you were wondering about this hack. Yeah, Melissa, do you feel like you can easily accomplish this at home now in the morning by yourself? Yeah, totally. I don't have to use a real pineapple anymore. Melissa, take it away. That's a tear-hack, yeah, tear-hack, tear-hack. So Jirashinfu is a must for everybody. Might as well DIY it. So the mixture is pretty basic. We're mixing baking soda and cornstarch. And the levels are two thirds cornstarch to one third baking soda. Get ready for it. Really good. All right, I'm gonna bring Eric in for some help on this part. Eric has my whisk. I've got the whisk. I've got the whisk. We just went on a city-long mission to find baking soda and cornstarch. Cornstarch. This one's a little tricky one. This is a little tricky one right here. We have a hard time finding that one. We have two places for that one. So we can't find it anywhere in New York City. No grocery store has it, but we're still looking. I'll come back at you once we have an update. Are you ready to get more cornstarch? I'm already here, I'm at his home. All right, we got everything we need. We're gonna put a scoop of this in. Cornstarch. That's a heaping scoop. A heaping scoop? All right. Oh, God, it's freaking me. They have big help. We're doing two thirds cornstarch to one third baking soda. Okay, so we're gonna do one more of these. One more of these. One more heaping scoop. Heaping scoop.  So that is what we're doing today. And my hair is actually kind of clean because I just colored it, but I just put a ton of oil in it. So in real life, it's like a really greasy feeling. So we're gonna try and get that grease out. Eric, can you along with us to that? It's very greasy. Yeah, it is very greasy. Very greasy, okay. First step, we do need to whisk it together. That is very crucial, important step to this hack, kids. Seems like it's pretty whisked to me. Voila! Blow out the microphone. Oh, done. Okay, can we make this top a little bit? Be careful when you take it off. Wow! All right, so now Eric's gonna put this in my hair. Can we just do this side? Oh, okay, so you just put it on the root. I'll put this side. Put it on the root. Kind of section out the hair and put it in there, all right? Is it working? Is it dry shampooing? Yeah, kind of rub it in. I think it is. Actually it's working. Don't put too much, I'm directly at my scalp. I do believe this is working. It's definitely a new feeling having baking soda in your hair, but all right, this actually worked very nicely. Yeah, it looks, and honestly it feels less greasy. A lot less greasy. It doesn't like feel too like textured from it. Like it feels very like fluffy still and nice. I kind of enjoy this. This is actually not bad. It doesn't really have a scent to it either. Yeah, no scent. Yeah. Kind of nice. Yeah, kind of do it, kind of nice. That hack I think was, it's pretty hack. Hack!  Okay, turn to the side. It's fine.  It seems like this person might not be able to buy a curling iron or something and they only have a flat iron and for some reason. A lot of foil. They have foil laying around, well I mean foil is pretty normal but like for some reason they don't wanna curl it just using the flat iron. They wanna put it in a foil. So this is a good hair hack, huh? Ooh, cute though. It's kind of cute. It's so cute. Are we doing a smaller piece this time? Okay. Oh, we're just hacking away, huh? Yeah, just hacking away. These are the hair hacks of the Sench.  Sench. I can't tell if I love that or if I really love that. I think you really love it. Ladies, follow along. Honestly though. Oh, that's actually so cute. Kind of nice. Yeah. Okay, five minute crafts. I see you. I don't know if it deserves a name hack. Yeah. It's kind of like a. It's actually just a longer way of doing something. It's actually like way more inconvenient. Let's like leave that in and do another piece. Okay. So cute. They're V-Kish. Ooh. Let's do this entire side. Yeah, I just wanna do one side. Everybody see my crush? It'll be fine. She's a crush. Yeah, a little bit. We're at that point where I'm like imagining our lives together and I'm pretty sure he's gonna propose, but he also still doesn't know my, yeah. There's that part. So Taryn Egerton, if you're watching this. Oh! Melissa. Oh my God, I know I moved on from Coles for us to him. Oh my God, this is so cute. They're actually like decent. They're actually like a nice. They're very bouncy and volumous and I don't hate it. So. Brad doesn't hate it. Maybe a hair hack. Maybe just a different way of curling. All right, let's brush it out and see what happens. Fine. Wait, so cute. It's so volumous. Oh my God. Oh my God. Before, after. So Mel, that one is actually kind of fun. Yeah, it was really fun. Like my hair is so pretty. It's very bouncy, voluminous. Yeah, it kinda looks like I got it done professionally by a professional. Would you go do it at home? Ask me later. That's another hack down. Yeah, that's A. What is it? Hair hack. Yes. Look how pretty it is, guys. I'm going to be doing a hair mask for you guys today. So this hair mask involves a couple eggs, a tablespoon, a bowl, and some olive oil. The reason why I am doing the egg and olive oil mask is because it helps hair growth and strengthening your hair. So this is what it looks like. There's one, and it goes right into the bowl of eggs. Here it is, two. You mix it together. I leave it in for around 30 minutes, and then you can wash it out with shampoo and conditioner, just normally wash your hair out. So this is what it looks like. Wow! Perfect, so now we got our bowl. We got our oil that I'm not touching because I'm vegan. Two honors. Lucky one is this one.  Oh, I had to crack it? Do it, yeah, you got it. How else are you going to put it on your head? Crushed it. Crushed it. That's two for two. All right, and now we're going to put a couple teaspoons of oil in here. Two, and we'll mix it all up. You can mix it, Eric. Why don't you go for that? I'm going to whisk the egg and the oil together. And then Eric, when do we follow you to the shower? And then into a consistency like so. Eric's going to shampoo his hair. Let's do it. All right, Eric's hair is now washed. And we're going to blow dry, and then apply the eggs. All right, Eric, it's all you know, apply that egg. I had to put this in my head. Yeah. I really want this in my hair. Note on the hack, it's really disgusting. Really gross, this. Oh, come on! I actually think this is a hack.  Yo, this don't work. Wait, let me dip. Let me dip.  You want to touch it? Let's comb it through. Do you have to? I don't know. It's not really combable. This is so gross.  Like, who does this? All right, so Chloe said to wait 30 minutes. So we're going to wait 30 minutes. I'm going to rinse this up and see if it makes any difference to Eric's hair. I hope so. My hair literally feels like someone put an egg in it. Yeah, it doesn't feel any better. It feels way worse. It feels a little dry. Like, what is this? What is, wasn't this supposed to be a mask? Like, Brett, look at this. I don't think it's supposed to detangle. That's the thing. What is it? At protein and shine. It's a little hard to rake through. All right, let's dry it real quick. It's egg. I'm running down her excuse. There are scrambled eggs on my temple right now. Can you get it off before I throw it off? Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it gone? It smells like an omelette. Oh my God, it's so... Pretty shiny, but it feels like... What I recommend it? It feels like... No! Very dry and crispy.  That's crazy too. I'm going to say, that's a, that's going to be a no. That's going to be a cut. That's going to be a do not try at home, kids. There's a lot easier way of getting shiny hair even. Honestly, just the olive oil. It literally, you can even go to like the dollar store and buy a hair mask. I'm sure it'll be literally decent. Any kind of oil. Better than that. But you know what we call that? Yes! You can curl your hair with a plastic bottle.  Soak a strand of hair with water or some hair styling products and place the strand into the bottle. Now turn on a hairdryer and point the stream of air through the opening so that the strand of hair starts moving around the inside of the bottle in a spiral. Voila! Betty ends up with a cute little curl. All right, Mel, so that's the next one. Okay. How do we feel about that? It's actually really interesting. Interesting. Like I've never seen anything like it before but also like who came up with this? So we're going to cut the bottom. Oh my God. Focus on the knife. Stop! There you go. Stop. Okay. And now we're going to cut another hole on this side like they did. Be careful. You're going to hurt both of us right now. Careful! Shh! Be fine. Done. I did it. That's step one, complete. Done. Blow dryer, curling spray. Let's do this. I'm excited to see if this really works. I know, this one's quite interesting. Done. Done. Pop that baby right in there. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. This is actually kind of cool. This is actually very cool. It's melting the bottle. Okay, we don't want that. It's melting the bottle. Cause burnt plastic is... Oh my God, but it really did curl your hair. We did it. Oh, cool! Wait, but it's melting the bottle. Yeah, I feel like that's probably not the best thing. Okay, it's pretty though. It's pretty. Is it melted bottle or is it pretty? Literally, I'm like, what do you do with the melted bottle? Okay, so don't put on high heat. This time I'm going to like, comb it out. Okay. Make sure it's all nice and wet. I'm used to people pulling my hair anyway. I don't know how people make the bottle not melt. Yeah. Oh my God though, that one works really well. Oh, did it? Fine. I think out of all the hair hacks, I really think that the pineapple one was the best. Wait, is this the side I already curled? Yeah. I just need to do that. It's okay. I'm just going to look like this. Why did this one not work as well? I don't know. I just took a skinnier piece that time. Maybe I should take a thicker one again. Yeah, maybe. It's doing a cute little dance though. It looks like there's like wacky and relatable flailing too much a little bit. Okay, okay. Oh, cute. Okay. Water bottle hair hack comes through. I want to be done with this. I want to be done with this too. I don't think that one really was the best. If you got the hang of it, it'd be kind of cool. Like just because it gives you kind of natural waves. Yeah. That's one way of putting it. I didn't hate it. I mean, I think the foil one works a lot better though. Yeah, yeah. But I think the real winner of the styling hacks was the pineapple one. I agree. Like Spongebob, B-Pog. Mm-hmm, yeah.  Go on. And what do you call that? Hair hack! Yes! Oh, you guys. That was a day of hacks. Yeah, I don't know if hacks is like the exact word for some of them. Ah, yeah. I feel like we hacked it. I feel like we definitely had a lot of fun. Was it any of those hacks for anything in your opinion? Maybe the pineapple one? I don't know. The hair hack. The pineapple one was the most, I think the most useful for Mel in Mel's case. I don't know if I could pull off the pineapple. Were you the one in the hack though? Hack wasn't built for me. And make sure you guys follow both Mel and Eric on Instagram. Their handles will be linked below. And make sure you follow me, RedmondoNYC on Twitter and Instagram. And follow X-Mando, my bae, my haircut line. For updates on new product launches. And that is all for today's hacking video. Woo! Hope you guys enjoyed it. Give it a like if you did. And thank you so much for watching.  And I will see you all.
