There are things that the Holy Spirit loves to hear, that few believers ever say to him. I wanna look at those now starting with number one, welcome Holy Spirit. Verse Thessalonians chapter five, verses 16 through 22, say this, always be joyful, never stop praying, be thankful in all circumstances, this is great advice. For this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. Verse 19, do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said, hold on to what is good, stay away from every kind of evil. I want you to write it in the comment section right now whether you're watching live or on the replay, right? Welcome Holy Spirit. We need to live our lives in such a way that we are mindful of His presence. I don't know about you, but I want the Holy Spirit to fill at home in me. I don't wanna grieve Him by the way I live. I want my life and my ministry to say to Him, welcome Holy Spirit. What is the scripture talking about? Stifling the Holy Spirit or quenching the Holy Spirit? As I believe the King James version puts it. Well, this is talking about our resistance to Him. You know, when it comes to the power of the Holy Spirit, you shouldn't fight Him or force Him. You can't fight Him or force Him really, but it says something about your heart when you try to. When it comes to the power of the Holy Spirit, don't fight Him, don't force Him, just flow. There's a yielding to what He wants to do, a surrender to His power. You can't fight Him in that eventually He's going to accomplish His will. And you can't force Him in that you can't make Him do something He doesn't want to do. He wants you to flow with Him. Now how many times do we live in such a way? Do we say such things that send the signal to others and to the Holy Spirit that He is not welcome where we are? Let me ask you, pastor, is the Holy Spirit welcome in your church service? Let me ask you, evangelist, is the Holy Spirit welcome in the ministry that God has given to you to steward? Christian brothers and sisters, is the Holy Spirit welcome in your home? Or are you ashamed of His work? Do you feel a little bit insecure when people ask you about what you believe? Do you sense a subtle shame about His power, the gift of praying in tongues, healing, deliverance, prophecy, people being touched by God's power, the baptism with the Holy Spirit? Do you welcome these things or do you push away that influence of the precious Holy Spirit? I remember years ago, when I just started preaching, I was in a season where I was not getting a lot of invitations to preach at churches. Today, we're honored to be invited to many places and it's a joy to go around the world and preach. But when I first started, I wasn't getting very many calls and if you're not familiar with the way the ministry works or any ministry for that matter, is you need resources coming in in order to be able to accomplish some of the goals that you have. So if I wanna go preach somewhere, you need to fund that plane ticket. You need to have somewhere to stay if you don't have a home to stay in, so you get a hotel room. There needs to be meals that are covered while you're traveling and rental cars and so forth. There are a lot of expenses that come with spreading the gospel around the world. The gospel is free, but the means to deliver it isn't always free. So I get this invitation to preach at this church and I'm thinking, thank God, I finally got an invitation. I was so happy because they were few and far between. And I was thanking God for the invitation. I really needed it. I really even needed the resources because that was my income. That's how I made a living. And so I remember I saw the email, it came in. I was excited, a friend that I had in common with the pastor who invited me and helped to set it up and they worked it out and then they approached me. And so I was so excited until I began to read a follow-up email that came to me from the pastor. The pastor told me, he said, you know, David, when you come to my church, you can come preach. You can come share what the Lord is doing. He said, and this is the way he worded it, not me. He said, I don't want any of that diga stuff. Talk about me, David diga. He said, I don't want any of that diga stuff. I said, diga stuff, what do you mean? He says, I don't want people being slain in the spirit. I don't want people getting drunk in the Holy Ghost.  He literally tells me this.  I don't know what the issue was there. That's just how I prayed. And so my heart just sank. And so now I'm coming to this place where I have to choose. Do I stifle what the Holy Spirit was doing through me so that I can take this opportunity so that I could bring in some resources for the ministry or do I instead choose to decline this invitation graciously, hopefully, to decline this invitation and say, I'm sorry, that just goes against my convictions. I can't do that. Well, that's where I found myself. I had to make that decision. I didn't want to offend the pastor, but even more importantly, I didn't want to offend the Holy Spirit. And so I'll be honest with you, if I'm just being transparent, I was debating within myself, how do I go about this? And I thought, maybe I'll compromise. This is where many preachers fall into a trap. Here's a tangent, but it's ministry advice I want to give to those of you who are in ministry. Sometimes we in ministry use the ends to justify the means. For example, if someone uses pressure tactics to raise finances. Now those pressure tactics aren't godly because the Bible says that they should not give out of guilt or compulsion, but some preachers do use pressure tactics on people to get them to give. It's one thing to challenge people to give to a cause. It's another thing to use guilt and pressure and fear to squeeze money out of people. And some will tell you, well, I use pressure tactics, but look at what we're doing with the money. We're feeding the hungry, we're building orphanages, we're doing ministry, but that's not the way it should be done. You mustn't do God's work the devil's way. And just because you're seeing some results in ministry doesn't mean that what you're doing to get those results is pleasing to the Holy Spirit. We justify so many things.  And we think that because we're getting results that the way that we got there is always pleasing to God and that is not always the case. So I told myself, well, if I take this opportunity to preach, the ministry will grow a little more, we'll have some resources, we can do something with them and hey, people are gonna receive the word, it's gonna be great and they're gonna be blessed, but know my friend, it's either please man or please the Holy Spirit. Grieve man or grieve the Holy Spirit. And so I write an email back and I said, listen, who you're asking for doesn't exist, that version of me doesn't exist. I have to stand by what the Holy Spirit is doing. I cannot, I said, I'm sorry and I wanted to come at it. I don't know how I came across. My goal was to come across gracious and humble. I don't know if I came across that way. And I said, I can't deny that power and I don't wanna be put into a position where the Holy Spirit is telling me something and you're telling me another. I don't wanna be put in that position. So I said, I think it's best and it hurt my heart to do it. I said, I think it's best if I just declined this invitation. Oh, he was not happy with me. He was quite angry with me and he accused me. You know, sometimes it happens when we don't bend the way people want us to bend. We don't agree with what they want us to agree with. We don't say what they want us to say. They say, you're prideful and the Holy Spirit quickened me. I said, respectfully, sir, this is not a matter of pride, but of principle. I cannot deny that power of the Holy Spirit. And I honestly believe that that was a test for me to see if I would allow the fear of man to nudge me in my stance on what I knew to be the flow of the Holy Spirit's power. And here's the sad thing. Is that many people do not pass this test. Many people feel a little shy about the power of the Holy Ghost. Pastors and ministers include in, but this, by the way, is not a knock on pastors and ministers in general. Look, all of us make mistakes. All of us have things that we need to correct. And what I want you to consider, what I want you to ask yourself as a believer, as a minister, is am I doing anything that stifles the work of the Holy Spirit because of a sense of shame or shyness or I don't want people to think I'm weird? Look, I don't care what people think of me. I am a little strange. I'll admit that. I'm different. I get that. I'm a little strange to me who are friends with the Holy Spirit are always a little different. And there's some joy actually in that too. I do enjoy being different. But sometimes we do, if we're not careful, allow these things in our hearts that get us to hesitate when it comes to welcoming the Holy Spirit. So that's number one. We say to him, welcome Holy Spirit. Welcome in my home.  Welcome in the ministry that you entrusted to me. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Do as you wanna do. Number two is I trust you Holy Spirit. Write that in the comments too. Live or replay, I trust you Holy Spirit. Acts chapter eight, I'm gonna read verses 29 through 35. Here we see Philip obeying the leading of the Holy Spirit based on just a simple instruction. Watch this. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, go over and walk along beside the carriage. Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, do you understand what you are reading? The man replied, how can I? Unless someone instructs me. And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. The passage of scripture he had been reading was this. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as the lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth. The eunuch asked Philip, tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else? So beginning with the same scripture, Philip told him the good news about Jesus. So here we see an example of the Holy Spirit giving an instruction to Philip. Go over and walk beside that carriage. Just go start walking beside that carriage. Now Philip didn't know that in the carriage there was a eunuch who was trying to understand the scripture, who was searching after God but was frustrated with his inability to make the connections, to understand what the scripture was revealing. So he had a heart, he was seeking, he wanted to know who God was. And he didn't know, Philip didn't know that that person was in that carriage. He didn't know who was there. All he knew was that the Holy Spirit had given to him an instruction. And so what did he do? He obeyed. Now, some of us in that situation might have said, well, I don't know. They might think I'm a little bit weird walking alongside the carriage. What if they get offended? What if they get weirded out? What if they get scared of me and they end up taking off really fast and I'm covered in dust now? Well, any of those excuses could have been presented to the voice of the Holy Spirit. But Philip, without having all the instructions, just took that next step. Now here I do have to make sure that I'm cautioning you to not confuse your own mind and emotions for the voice of the Holy Spirit. Remember, the Holy Spirit primarily speaks to us through the word. And then he speaks to us through wisdom. And then he speaks to us through the whisper, which is the direct information spoken to our hearts. And then the Holy Spirit speaks through wonders like prophecy, healing, miracles and so forth. Now, many believers have this backwards. They try to first hear the Holy Spirit through wonders, prophecy and such. They seek them in the miraculous without searching for what he's saying in the word. But we have to reverse that. We have to primarily hear the Holy Spirit from the word and then use the wisdom that God gave us from the word to receive the next instruction.  So just be careful because you can get trapped in what I call religious OCD. Like the Holy Spirit told me to stop here and I'm just gonna stand here for 20 minutes. I don't know why, but this is what he wants me to do. Or the Holy Spirit told me to wear that red shirt.  Now that could be the Holy Spirit. I'm not saying he doesn't say these things. So don't hear what I'm not saying. Of course the Holy Spirit can instruct us with these spiritual instructions that are ultra specific. He's done that to me. He still does that to me. But what I am saying is you have to be careful of religious OCD to where now every thought that pops into your mind. You're saying this is God, this is God, this is God. And you know you're living under that spiritual OCD because you're tormented and you're doing it out of fear. What if God punishes me because I didn't do it as opposed to just a love for the Holy Spirit and trusting him. So when you say I trust you Holy Spirit, that means you are willing to do what he asks. Please hear me now, friend of the Holy Spirit. When you say I trust you Holy Spirit, that means you are willing to do what he asks you to do even when it doesn't make sense. You are willing to do what he asks you to do even when it doesn't make sense. Think about this. Has the Holy Spirit ever failed you? Has he ever made a mistake? No, so he's trustworthy. If Jesus relied upon the Holy Spirit how much more should we? If Jesus trusted the Holy Spirit how much more can we? So the Holy Spirit guided the ministry of Jesus. We saw that in scripture. And so today the Holy Spirit guides you and I. Now when I began in ministry, I did not feel qualified. And to this day sometimes I still say to the Lord, Lord are you sure? You don't have some other assignment forming. And you know from the outside looking in you may say well of course God called you but doesn't always feel that way. Sometimes you know the flesh when the flesh begins to stir or even especially when I began there was this there was some insecurity there like Moses Lord I don't know maybe you should send someone else. Now today I'm very secure in the calling that the Lord has given to me despite the fact that insecurity does rise I still am able to stand firm in what I know he called me to do. It's different today than it was when I first started but when I first started my goodness I mean I was like Lord what exactly do I have that you wanna use? I couldn't think of any particular skill where I said that's why God uses me. I don't know to this day why he chose me.  And that overflow is what became ministry but I didn't feel qualified. I remember as a 13 year old boy lying in my bed tossing and turning not being able to sleep because I felt this deep conviction in my heart saying preach preach and I didn't wanna preach. Part of me did but most of me didn't. I remember fighting this and saying I don't know that doesn't seem like God and I was terrified at the idea. I was terrified and then one day I went to my youth pastor this was in the church parking lot I think it was a Wednesday night after church I go to him I said pastor Eddie. I said I feel like God is calling me to preach. Now I thought he was gonna give me a whole speech on okay well let's wait on this and so forth but he saw something. You gotta realize at this point I had already been serving in the church I had already been fellowshiping with the Lord there was already a foundation of a relationship with God and here is a youth pastor now saying why don't you preach for the youth? And he just kinda threw that on me I'm there on the parking lot on Wednesday night talking to him I said pastor Eddie I don't know why I'm saying this I'm struggling with this but I really feel like I need to preach the gospel. And he pointed at me he said okay you're on next Thursday. So that means not the next day which was a Thursday but a week from the next day now I'm preaching and I remember going okay and he just walked away like nothing like nothing had happened. He just drops this burden I thought it was he drops his responsibility on me he just walks away and I'm going okay and I remember going home and going back to my prayer room that night and just thinking Lord I don't even know I don't even know what to say. And I began to read the scripture and then the Holy Spirit gave me a message. Now the message I preached was titled Our Relationship with God Almighty. It's a big fancy title and there's a three point sermon on the life of King David and I remember the sermon was okay it wasn't like anything great. I probably would not have put it on YouTube just to be honest with you. Nor would I listen to it today without cringing it just was it was okay it was sincere we'll just say that. And so I preached the sermon and it wasn't like this eloquent message but I'll tell you this the power of the Holy Ghost that showed up in that service. Teenagers were getting delivered filled with the Holy Spirit being slain in the spirit it was a powerful move of the Holy Spirit and I remember thinking okay all I had to do was obey and you showed up. Well that's what a friend of the spirit does they trust the leading of the Holy Spirit. So you are willing to do what he asked you to do even when it doesn't make sense to you saying I trust you Holy Spirit. Number three this one's a little different because not a lot of people know you can even say this to him. Number three is I love you Holy Spirit. Comment that as well I love you Holy Spirit. Romans 5 5 says and this hope will not lead the disappointment for we know how dearly God loves us because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. The Holy Spirit is the one who sheds the love of God abroad in our hearts. The Holy Spirit gives us the love for God and for each other. The Holy Spirit in me loves the Holy Spirit in you and that's why we're brothers and sisters in Christ that's why I refer to you as my spirit family this is more than content this is more than a live stream we're gathering in spirit this is why you feel that connection that you may not feel other places where you say something about this is connecting us that's the love of the spirit we're gathering in spirit right here right now and so as we gather in spirit we recognize that love that love that comes from the Holy Spirit but think about this you've heard it said God loves you you've heard it said Jesus loves you both of those statements are true they both love you with an everlasting love but have you ever considered the fact that the Holy Spirit loves you too? Have you ever considered the fact that he's elated by you? See we when we come from a mindset of religion and legalism we think that he's barely putting up with us right almost as if he's saying I like you but I don't love you I'll tolerate you but that's just about it no no no my friend I know you desire the presence of the Holy Spirit but consider this more than you desire to be in his presence he desires to be in yours well greater love has no man than this than that he laid down his life for his friends why did Jesus lay down his life to reconcile us with God to connect us again why? Because he loves you because he loves you that much because he is that loving we don't deserve that but he gives us that he wants to be in your presence more than you want to be in his when you go to pray you may picture God as kind of like you know maybe on the phone with someone else like okay I'll get to you right now give me just a second and like maybe he's a little irritated with you maybe he's just slightly annoyed by you approaching him in prayer maybe that's how you visualize God no my friend when you go to pray the Holy Spirit says I've been waiting for you all day I've been waiting for this moment all day when you go to that prayer room you'll sense that love of the Spirit rush you that mighty rushing wind when you go to pray the Holy Spirit if you could see this in the Spirit throws his arms around you and says I've been waiting for this moment all day he loves you that much despite your flaws look he knows what goes on in your mind he knows the thoughts you think he sees the things you do in secret he knows your motives he knows your intentions he knows you inside and out and he still wants to be around you you know it does something those of you who have children will understand when your child just on their own accord not being forced when they just say I love you the other day my aria did that for me I was tired it was a long day I'm sitting on the couch she comes up she climbs up onto the couch climbs onto my lap she grabs me by the face just like this she looks me in the eyes her sparkly little eyes had a big smile on her face and she said data I love you so she gave me a big kiss on the head now what that did for me I can't even I was recharged I said you want to go play let's play you know I was tired I got home she wanted to play and that's how she knew to get me off the couch but it like it recharged me it did something in my heart why because because we love our children well think about the fact that the love you have for your own children and if you have no children the love you have for your friends your family use whatever you can to compare it that's nothing in comparison to the love that God has for us and that love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost so that when you say things like I love you Holy Spirit you will sometimes sense that power manifest in your room I remember I was just singing this song to the Lord and this happens sometimes I'm just lying in bed just praying sometimes I'll whisper I said not disturb anyone this song I like to sing to him it's I love you Lord and I lift my voice to worship you oh my soul rejoice take joy my king and what you hear let it be a sweet sound in your ear I love you Lord and I lift my voice and it's a simple song but you know sometimes that's all he wants from us sometimes that's all we can give all we have to give is our love to him and when you say you can try it even out just lift your hands say close your eyes say if you can if you're not driving say Holy Spirit I love you I love you and just sense that joy you know this is why in services people often wonder they go David how come you don't lay hands on the sick or the demon possessed in your services so if you haven't been to one of our services in the ministry on the ministry schedule where we go we rent conference centers now we travel from state to state we hold these encounter services people ask me brother David why don't you lay hands on the sick why don't you lay hands on the demon possessed well sometimes I do but you're right for the most part I just let the Holy Spirit do what he does so people don't understand what I'm doing when I'm standing on that platform when I stand on that platform and I'm worshiping the Lord I'm just ministering to him I'm just worshiping him I'm loving him loving him lavishing my love on him I'm forgetting about the crowd I'm forgetting about the cameras I do everything I can people wonder why we're so organized in our services why don't you allow the flags to weigh why don't you allow people to walk around well that's because I need to focus on the Lord and there's a reason for that I focus on him and as I focus on him I just begin to minister to Jesus love him lavish my praise upon him lavish my worship and as he receives that love there's a response from heaven and so we're worshiping and the people in the meetings fill it in fact the people who come to these services we have reports of people who come to our services lining up hours before the service even starts many of our services before the service begins there's a line going down the block hours before it starts they're not there for me I promise you they're not there for me if they wanted to hear me preach they can listen on youtube they wanted to hear steve amok the zoom a sing they can listen on his youtube channel but the reason they come is for the presence now how do how do how do we cultivate that atmosphere of his presence I'm giving you now secrets of ministry here when you stand there you worship him you love him you adore him and you just become aware of that presence and you just begin to minister to him and you say holy spirit I love you I tell him things like I can't do this without you I need you here with me or I'll say holy spirit be with me now like you've been with me then let your presence be felt by the people here and now like I sense your presence when it's just you and me and I'm praying sometimes I don't have the microphone to my mic my mouth because I'm sometimes I don't have my microphone to my mouth because I'm just talking to him ministering worshiping and then I sense this beautiful presence this glory begin to descend on the meeting and you'll hear it people begin to weep demons begin to manifest I wish we had sometimes better microphones I'd like you to hear all that on the on the crowd mics but nevertheless people begin to get set free and healed and I have nothing to do with it I have nothing to do with it other than I love the holy spirit and his presence does the rest and then people come up and start testifying I was healed of this I was delivered from that not my doing in no way all I'm doing loving him worshiping welcoming him holy spirit please come touch the people they're in need of you and he does what he does and so there are times where I'll just be lying in bed singing that song I love you lord and I lift my voice to worship you and I can sense the beauty of his presence just begin to descend manifest I should say and there's nothing like it there's nothing like it so would you right now just say I love you holy spirit and be aware of his presence when you do finally number four help me holy spirit I can see in the comments people saying they're sensing him even now I can I'm telling I'm aware of him he's with you too he's with you too the fourth one is help me holy spirit you know you can't do everything in your own strength Zachariah 4-6 a message to Zerubbabel but the principle behind this message is the fact that there are things we cannot do in our own strength then he answered and spake unto me saying this is the word of the lord unto Zerubbabel saying not by might nor by power but by my spirit sayeth the lord of hosts at Zachariah 4-6 I don't know how to pray the holy spirit is who leads me I don't know how to get revelation from the word can study I can be filled with knowledge but not revelation but the holy spirit knows everything we do for him requires the holy spirit's power you cannot accomplish that which is spiritual by carnal means you can exhaust yourself emotionally mentally physically working and toiling for what you think you need or you can rely on his strength it's time we the church learn what it is to stop striving and start surrendering there is so much confusion these days angst and working ourselves up and anger and tension and fear and it's all it's all so noisy so loud that's not the holy spirit the presence of the holy spirit brings perfect clarity peace strength not noise strength now sometimes when his power moves things get a little noisy I'm not talking about natural noise I'm talking about internal and you know the difference you know the difference the flesh is very boisterous the flesh is very how shall I put this anxious and there's this tension to the flesh not so with the spirit help me holy spirit means I can't do this without you you don't realize think about this these services we do around the world as a ministry I mean we say come and believe for a miracle come and believe for deliverance come and believe for breakthrough come and believe to be empowered well if the holy spirit doesn't do it nothing's gonna happen so I'll be behind the platform just about to go on and I'll say holy spirit if you don't go with me these people came for nothing why because I realize it's not in my own strength help me holy spirit holy spirit I can't be the father I'm called to be I can't be the husband I'm called to be I can't be the evangelist I'm called to be without your strength without that empowering presence guiding me every step of the way I need you desperately so I need that presence if I don't have it I'm desperate for it but once I know I'm walking in it now it's simple desire I need you I'm telling you this right now and this isn't just me trying to sound you know humble I'm telling you this right now anybody who knows me will tell you that if it weren't for the presence of the holy spirit I would be a thousand pieces on the floor not literally but spiritually that weren't for the presence of the holy spirit holding me together giving me strength I would be a thousand pieces on the floor there's nothing I can do in my own strength you again you look at it from the outside you say oh what a blessed ministry oh look at all that's happening I am nothing without him nothing there's nothing I can accomplish David how did you do it how do you build it I don't know I don't know how he did it I don't know how he does it I don't know how he heals the sick I don't know how he delivers the bound I don't know how he blesses the ministry I don't know how he favors it I don't know how he uses the preaching of the gospel to bring hearts to repentance I don't know any of it all I know is I need him all I know is that I'm relying on his power all I know is that I need to get out of his way help me holy spirit for years when I battled with anxiety and I tried every man-made method you can think of every man-made method you can think of I prayed the curse-breaking prayers I went to the revival meetings not that there's anything wrong with these things it's just I'm being honest with you they didn't work for me and finally I said after trying prayer and fasting and this and that I said help me holy spirit I don't know what to do you know when you come to the end of yourself that's when he shows up I know nothing except that I need him David David what's the key to growing in media okay I give you practical things but if God doesn't breathe on it it's not going anywhere David how do we prepare lessons I can show you how to study but I can't show you how to have the anointing that only the holy spirit only the holy spirit David how did you grow the ministries I didn't grow it what are you talking about it was him all I know is that I need him all I know is that I have to obey him he did it all he did it all my friend if you're willing to acknowledge your need for him just say help me holy spirit so here are the things that the holy spirit loves to hear from us that few believers ever say number one welcome holy spirit number two I trust you holy spirit number three I love you holy spirit and number four help me holy spirit Father I pray that by your holy spirit you would cause our hearts to be postured toward these biblical attitudes incline our hearts to you mold us I pray make us aware more than

Hi everyone, my name is Geron Tal and I'm a developer advocate at SNCC. I'm also heavily involved with the security working group for the Node Foundation. So trying to do some processes and triaging to help security and PM ecosystem and Node.js as well. So this conference has been really great in terms of, you know, just meeting people, getting together, getting stuff done as well in the collaborators' time that we're looking forward to in the next couple of days. And a couple of things, or maybe like three things that I wanted to like update you on what's been going on with the Node security working group. So first off, one thing that we have been kind of like communicating a lot is we actually received funding for the Node working group in terms of our ability to like work with Hacker One and then reward security researchers on any bug bounties, you know, that they've been submitting. So this is something that has been rolling out actually pretty recently. We've been able to like get a criteria for which models would be eligible to get the bounties for and this way trying to like get more awareness and more security researchers happening, getting involved within the security space for Node and PM itself. So this is really something that's really recently going on and really good for us as an ecosystem. Interesting point of that, we're trying to see if we can maybe divert some of those funds to maintenance as well that will participate. So like we kind of trying to like pay both parties in terms of driving some motivation around not just reporting issues but also like supporting it like the maintainers who spend time fixing it. So it's a really important part that we're going to see with Hacker One how are we going to be able to roll this out as well. Another update on the working group itself is since this whole OpenJS Foundation thing have been going on pretty strong together, a great, you know, message I think for the whole JavaScript ecosystem, we're trying to see how we're able to get some responsible disclosure guidelines set up, not just for the Node Foundation but also for the entire like cross-project council in terms of like the whole OpenJS Foundation, the whole training projects that we have in. So how do we like make those standards work for everyone as well and not just be a particular part of the Node as part of it. So this is something that tomorrow's in from the working group is been going to like send off a draft and make this work. If you want to get involved, have any opinions when I help out, just jump on to github.com-node.js-security-wg and just find us on the issue. You'll be happy to get some external eyes on this as well. And generally if you want to just get involved and see what's going on, everything is very transparent. Just hop on the repository. Readme is, you know, pretty, I think, clear and helpful.  Maybe the last update would be around kind of like a challenging thing that we have been kind of been raised recently is we have some issues in terms of how do we handle large scale disclosures. So what we've been seeing not a whole lot, but it has been happening a couple of times at least is security researchers, mostly from academia have been doing a whole lot of security research around like regular denial of service and other kind of like petroversals kind of the vulnerability is like different kind of classes, but have been able to like find those and disclose those issues across like hundreds of projects or like NPM modules. So how do we as a security working group are able to handle those disclosures at large scale because each of those kind of map into one or two, you know, reports that we have to do. So like having hundreds of them, it means also hundreds of like an H1 report that we have to roll out. It has been an interesting discussion. So it's really if you want to jump in and see if you want to just help out or you know, flesh out some of the interesting areas to kind of take action on. That's also something that we've been doubling with recently. So that's it for me. Hoping to catch up with you on social media or on the Node.js repo. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome back to The Craft Box. My name is Brent. Today we're back on episode 55 of the Wizard101 Road to 100 series. Today we're joined with Finn. Hey. I did. How's it going? Pretty good. I'm a Viking. I'm going to go and invade England in Slaughter and Pellage. Amazing. First we need to talk to Meryl. Go seek Professor Drake. He had an odd relationship with Malice here. He may be willing to try to stop him. Okay, we're not actually talking to Drake. That's awkward. What are we supposed to be doing? Just a sec. I'm just going to get there and then you can port to me and we'll just pretend that that never happened. Okay, Bjorn Ironforrest. What is Elham? Speaketh to thou. Greetings my friend and ally. The greatest honor Grizzleheim can bestow upon you is yours. Bjorn Ironforrest. With our king, valgaard Goldenblade. He is the mightiest of Grizzleheim's warriors and tales of his victories have no doubt spread across the spiral. Your fame has marked you as a great hero so he is showing you respect by meeting with you. He may ask you for another great deed so he can be sure that your reputation is deserved. King Valgaard is in the great hall. He will speak with you now. We get to go into the great hall just logging into the other account just so we have like a storm wizard because we've got like a dungeon-y type thing to do. So yeah, just thought I'd log in. Okay, Valgaard Goldenblade. Hello. VALGAARD GOLDENBLAID! It's the young hero of what people are telling stories about. I am honored to meet you. Your fame has spread throughout all of Grizzleheim. Fate has surely led you to this moment. I am now speaking with envoys from the Ravens and the Wolves so that we might forge a newfound peace in Grizzleheim. But that peace is already in danger. A terrible old foe threatens our land once more. To counter it, Fate has brought forth a new hero. Jotun, a fierce and massive brendle, is one of the oldest and most deadly of his kind. He has issued a challenge to face you in combat. Jotun has heard tell of the battles you have fought against his kind in kin and he wants revenge. He has two brothers, lesser in strength, but still muggy. Jotun and his brothers all dwell in the ruined undercity of Nidavaliir outside this very settlement. You have stirred Jotun's anger. Will you now deal with him? Yes, we will deal with him and his two brothers. Yeah, let's get rid of all of the wand heads. Amen. Let's go. Okay, amazing. All of us made it, yay.  Cheeky wee blade, cheeky wee blade. I'm just pretty much going to protect her, James. Yeah, that's a good idea. Put bangs up on James. Oh my god. What was that? That was kind of cool. That is a nice wee blade, another nice wee blade, but it's just sirens I think, sirens is lit, right?  Wiggle wiggle wiggle. We have our cheeky wee prison yank, but we need to put that prison on Jotun. Don't know why I said that with a slightly fringe accent, but you know, it's fine. How much health do we have? Jotun has 8000 and you ever take 7 I think it was? Something along those lines, not too much. Look at that, look at that. Amazing. This is a cheeky wee tempest or a wall is gonna be, except it fizzles. Nice wee towel shield there. Much helpful very well. Yeah, much helpful, such well. The blades for days. Yeah. So how much health do they have? Yeah, Jotun has 9000 and the others have 8000, sorry. There's a cheeky wee prison. Amazing. Cheeky wee deathblade to the storm guy, that makes complete sense, right? Oh banshee.  He's dead, he's dead though. I'm really overthinking this fight though. Yeah.  Cheeky wee storm shark. A storm shark. A storm shoot. Oh, cheers man. I'm making sure everyone's okay. Yes. That cheeky wee waker. He dies. Yes. Convert storm to myth. Amazing. Okay, let's put one of you up and we don't need you anymore. Don't need you or you and we're gonna pass and wait for a cheeky wee sirens. Don't you just love sirens? Have you ever seen the sirens? I have seen the sirens used. Not good. We used it in crocotopia. Yeah, we did, I remember that. In croco, the clock. They think they're good putting up a cheeky wee minus 25, but they're actually bad. Dicks out for Harambe. Yeah, Harambe. Amazing. Okay. Do I have a blade for James again? Oh, we all got power pups. Amazing. They all have a power pip. Okay. Get rid of you. You're actually gonna faint them. Okay. In that case, I'll play. I'll get rid of that and I'll get rid of that. Maybe I should have fainted a lot of other people, but I will. It's fine. I will protect myself. Yes, that's probably good. Boop, boop. No, not very. Haven't seen that in a while. 50 damage. Cheeky. I think they're using it just to take away from your shields. Probably. They're not that smart though. Ain't that smart. Ain't that smart. They're only Grendels. Exactly. Cheeky wee healing blade. Amazing. Just in case. Just in case, yeah. Good guiding light. I don't know why I'm spending so much time trapping Jotun because to be honest, he's not that good. Are you gonna hit winning with James? No. Are you not? No. Okay. Tell me when. Yeah. It'll be a couple of rounds.  Just so he killed in one shot, you know. I might need a heal sooner. You might need a heal. Yeah. Oh my God. That's a... Oh no. Does this one hit? It's for heals. Does it hit though? It can, yeah. No, why wouldn't you do that? What's the problem, boss? If it hits, it's one of them on our feints.  How do I get rid of it? Kill it with fire.  Get injured, mate. Can we just get rid of you? We're gonna draw and hope for another... Okay, that's enough. Sweet. Okay, I'll hit next. She's passing the strand anyway, so it's fine. Oh, vampire. Cheeky. Hit. Hit. Hit this.  Yeah. I'm gonna try and one-shot them all. Cheeky. I'm actually just doing nothing. 560. You need heals. Yeah. It's gonna hurt him for a bit, really. Bye, minion. Yes! That was so helpful, fun. Don't look for me. You might want a heal.  Wasn't really needed, but that's fine. That's fine, man. I like your effort that you tried to put on. I'll do you. And we're gonna Siren's. I'm gonna Sator. Yes. We've got the Cheekywee Stormlord or Storm El to back up, if all comes to the worst. Does that make sense? Probably not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 307. Amazing. Okay. Nice to be healed there. Healed by Sun. Crit. No. Oh, that's upsetting. Obviously, not a true life, wasn't it? Look at that. Look at that heal. I'm almost 100%. Yeah. Heal me next, Senpai. Heal me next. Please, yes. Yeah, let's see how much this is gonna do. One in a million, please. Crit, crit, crit, no, okay. That's fine. Dikes. Burp, burp, burp, burp. Those blades, though. Minions dead, for sure. Oh, 9000 base. They're all dead. That was good. A million. I'm actually interested to see how much it's gonna do on Jotun or Jotun or however you say it. RIP. Okay, let's see how much this is gonna do, please. My God. How much does this do? One in a million? No. 50,000. Whew. That's pretty good. Quite the fuse. Amazing. That was easy. Yeah. Like, hey, I'm dying slowly on the inside from lack of sleep. Just kill me already. Nice addition. Nice addition. Oh, no. Did I rethink how to do that? Oh, yeah. Okay. Ravans, cheeky things. I'm repacking my deck both. Okay. Because of the fucking, the battle it got me. The battle, the battle got you. It's not to you. Yes, it did. Quite. Okay, let's go speak to Krassen at level 50. You're a long way from home, young wizard. I won't leave. I may dress up like a person from Ravenscar but I actually don't like Ravenscar. I am a loyal friend of Valgaard Goldenblade and I do not want to see the bears at war with the Raven. This is the work of a group of evil Ravens called the Coven. We must learn what they plan and put an end to their, one of our own, a scout named Skullin Icebrand claimed to have learned terrible news. The Coven captured him and put him in our prison. Go and find out what he learned. Okay. You don't belong here. Let's see how you'll fit in a cage. I don't think I fit in a cage. There's only one guy, dude. Yeah. Let's take him. That is on the head, right? 200 health, so it's fine. That's a cool way to die. You went for an adventure. An adventure. Okay. Have you come to free me from this place? I do. I won't risk my life talking to you while I'm a prisoner. You want to talk to me, you need to free me. That Taylor Ingram glyph cutter has the keys to my cell.  Okay, talk to the guy. I'm just getting two C's again. Yeah. Okay. Where are you going? Yeah. This way. Port me when you're finished. This is actually like a crazy place. It's huge. We don't have the keys. We've got to go get us loose. Yes, we're going to Ingram's abode. It's humble abode. Welcome to my humble abode. Okay. These guys are still really cheap on the XP. We're only getting like 550 and 440 each time, which is a bit unfair. Hey, that adds up over time. It does. It does. It does. What are you doing? Get out of here. Okay.  You've got to get me spectral blasts and don't worry. Yeah. Let's blade and blade and spectral blasts, I think. Let's discard the sense norm. Oh my God, he's got like 2,000. I can do it. Go for the minion. Go for the minion. I'm going to go for the bow. Go for the minion. I wonder if he's balanced. And I hit off-school damage. It's the beauty of balance. Okay. I see where you're coming from. You can hit him if I don't kill him first time. Okay? Is that a deal? Yes. Okay, good. A lightning bird. But I should hopefully. See, this is why I didn't tell you to hit the boss. I knew it would happen. These cheeky balances, you know. I think they're so cool with their shields. Balance these days, you know? You get me? No. You feel me, fam? No. Okay, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's kill.  You'll be hurting my feelings. Oh, smash. Scorpion. Cheeky. 206. Cheeky. T-Wife for the shield, eh? You're welcome, man. And my common handy next time he tries to scorpion me. It's Cheeky because he's going to scorpion. Sorry, you can't kill the boss. It's okay. I'll blade you, though. I wasn't planning to. I got you, fam. Oh, you're already hitting me. Maybe you fizzle. Maybe I will fizzle. You probably won't, though. JK, you did. You did. No, you get a blade now. You can go for one on a mel. It's kind of like triggering all my... Just in case you fizzle again, I'm going to blade you. Or if you can't find a hurt, you know? Either works. She can't find a hurt, dude. Well, do you need a reshuffle? No, we're good. Okay, cool. We got it. We're good. We got the hurt. Okay, good. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Dup, dup, dup, dup, dup, dup. See, that wouldn't have even killed the boss. Okay. Okay, that was good. Great. Blades. Blade. On a cord around the jailer's neck. Let's go. Okay, let's go. Once we finish this, have we finished? Have we finished grizzling him? Yeah, after this episode we'll record another and then we'll finish grizzling him. And we go into a dragon spur. Yes. Oh, it's an or. I'm going to get those wards. Dragon spur. He's looking for a dragon spur. What is that a dragon spur? What theme is it? What theme is it? Yeah. It's chaos. What? You'll find out. You're in for a shock. Is it just chaos themed?  But then you get to places like Dragon Spire, Polaris, Dragon Spire, Polaris and they're all like the same kind of thing. It's kind of Russian with a bit of like French with a bit of like, it's it's confusing. More Russian than an Egyptian. Napoleonic Wars. Yeah, let's see if we can sneak past. Be sneaky. I think we can. Yeah, we can. I got pulled. Shot first. From miles out.  He's come both of them. I've got heads. I've got heads. They called them heads. You need help? No, I'm good. I'm good. You sure? Yeah. Okay, you're gonna kill? Cool. Because I'm gonna go over to Raffanlor Speaker and I'll wait for you after that. Yeah, well, because we've got a defeating collect after that, so we'll cut anyway. Cheeky. Defeating collect takes a while. So my favourite. Defeating collect three winter wind battlers for three feathers.  Is it really dark? Yeah, you only need to click three, but it's gonna take a while, I'm betting. But you never know, they might have changed it. You spoke with Skull and Icebrand, yes? Skull and Icebrand told you that the Coven are keeping that ancient scroll in the Tower of Lore. Come on, birdie. Fight me. It will be difficult to get you in there. It is a place for shamans and magicians only.  They will let you into the Tower if you carry with you a spirit totem. We will make one for you. First, I will need some raven feathers. No, not mine.  Okay, we'll be right back once we've defeated these winter wind battlers. Okie dokie, we're back. We just finished that. It took a while, didn't it, Finn? Yes, Finn's like dying now. I'm a little more tired. I don't know why. I had a great sleep last night. I had an amazing sleep last night, did I tell you? No, you didn't. Oh, it's just so good to do. Like. So good. I got a small fossil. I picked up some Mastani fossils. Just calls for her.  Oh my god. What by these guys? Cheeky. Yeah. Do you need help? No, I just killed myself. Just flee. Yeah. Did you get the bone? I didn't. I got pulled. Use the teleporter next time. You didn't think about it. Use the red teleporter. It literally takes you right there. You find an old island. I didn't think, dude. I know you didn't. I'm just telling you, man. I can feel it coming. Are you there? Where is there? At the bottom place. No, just use the red teleporter. Oh, please. So I'm in North Guard. They just walked there. It's not that far. Amazing. But I need to get this done so we can finish recording quicker. Okay. The more time I spend waiting for you to do things, it's like, no, can't finish the episode. Can't finish the episode. Can't finish the episode. It's not the point. The point is it's the point to walk. Exactly. Exactly there. Exactly. What I just said.  Okay, let's go. Going on the platform in my favorite rocket ship. Zooming through the sky. Little mean dimes. Excellent. All of these will serve us well. Now you must place the old bone into this cauldron to add their mystic essences to your spirit totem. Okay, I got to keep the eye of Newt. Yeah, the eye of Newt's. That's Pingu's eye. That's Pingu's eye? Yeah. The eye of Newt's. Is it really though? It is really though. Like 11 hours at the end. Go around the long way. You can port to me if you want. Oh, look at that. Good to have friends in high places. Yep. It literally is Newt's. Yeah. It literally is Pingu's eye. Yeah. I told you. It's just outward differently. Yeah. You thought I was lying but I'm not. It's the eye of Newt. Yeah. Exactly. Let's quickly head back to Raffin. This is a lot of going there, getting back, going there, getting back. It's a bit annoying. Now I must say a quick spell over the spirit totem to complete its enchantment. Raffin utters a powerful room spell of a type. I'm in the glacial waters. I've got to get inside. There you go. Done. Did you use the teleport? Yeah. Oh, that was for me to drink. Making a spirit totem is hot and thirsty work. Why is that? And you can get easily poured in the glacial wastes if you use the teleport, I believe. Now, with the spirit totem, you must pass through them and reward the guard the tower of law. Even though there are mortal guards, since I am no warrior, so you will have to safeguard the way for me. Once the path is clear, I will meet you inside. Okay, we're going into the Tower of Knowledge. Here with my new Wampaginis. My dedicated Wampaginis. But do you know what I like more than my dedicated Wampagini? Knowledge. Knowledge. Ah, young wizard wishes to challenge me. Let's duel. Okay, let's go. Let's battle.  Who's this? Oh my God, it's Bay.  Who's this? It's an icy person. No, it's my Bay, you know. And her name is Angel Deathblood, but she's actually stormed. She looks like ice, though. She needs to get her, like, everything right. Why? You don't have to. She does. Are you just assuming her school? Yes. Okay, then. I am, actually. She's passing. That's pretty legit. Too legit to quit. Am I right? I'm right. Okay, let's pass.   Da-na-na-na-na-na-na. Boom. Hi! I had to delay the reaction. You're very delayed.  JK, she ported them ages ago. Okay. Oh, glowbug. Pass. Heal me plus. Heal plus? Yeah. What would I say? What would you say if I said I didn't have a heal or of any kind? I'd be like, what sort of life was it of you? Look at this. She's probably just like, oh my God, look at my new spell. Cheeky. Crit, yes. Critter! Better than James, confirmed. T.Y. Rip Hager. Ah, there's more of them. Your skill in battle is extraordinary. I couldn't read this scroll. Raffin reads the ancient scroll. As he reads, he grows alarmed. This is ill news indeed. This scroll tells of the great and terrible ever winter. The cold season that will mark the end of the world. This scroll explains the link between the runestones that grant all magic power in this world. The clans of Wolf, Bear, and Raven each control a runestone. The stones are connected, and if one is able to capture their magic, they can control all of the magic in Grizzleheim. Raven seek to do just that thing. To bring about the ever winter that makes the world unites us. We must go. We are in great danger. Meet me back at the cliff entrance. Cheeky. I am afraid for what we have learned. Though it is madness, the Coven wishes to bring about the end of times. We must stop the Coven before they go further. But first, you must be protected against their evil magic. Every Raven in our tribe carries a mystic talent, a small charm that protects us from magic. They are not very powerful, but if you gather enough such charms, they may protect you against the rune magic the Coven will throw. It pains me to send you against my fellow Ravens. The times are dire, and our need is great. Go and collect mystic talents from Winterwing Wardens. Return to me when you have enough. Thank you for watching. See you next time.


To be toxic to others is far easier than it has ever been. According to the University of Copenhagen, Arm University and the University of Cumberland's Landau, toxic people have nine common negative traits. Egoism, Machiavellianism, Moral Disengagement, Nazism, Psychological Entitlement, Psychopathy, Sodism, Self-Interest, and Spitefulness. Does this sound like you? Probably not. People need to think about your actions though. It helps to checkmate our tendencies so that we don't hurt others without knowing. It can easily be damaging to the mind if you feel bad about your actions and feel like there is no remedy. Thankfully, there are things you can do to help you avoid this type of situation. In today's video, I am going to share with you seven signs you are becoming toxic. If you are new here, consider subscribing to our channel for more awesome videos like this one. If you are one of our great fans who have been wanting to know who is behind this channel, now you can know. Kindly check the description box to join Steve Courage's personal channel, learn directly from him or ask him any questions. Thank you. 1. You need help all the time According to Hacks Spirit, a toxic person is someone who makes others feel bad with actions or words. Note that what makes others feel bad may appear perfectly normal to you.   How would you feel? Some people are so used to help from others, they take it for granted that others are not helping because they are obligated, but because they care. Some people just want attention and care from others. They always seem to have one challenge or the other and their friends and families are supposed to rally around them. They also never really try figuring out a way out of their problems because they have mental security that other people will clean up their mess. Is this you? You can find out if you are becoming toxic by asking yourself some simple questions. Do you feel entitled to time? Do you thank your friends when they do things for you? Do you think you have a lot of problems and others should help you solve it? Do you need constant support but don't learn and grow from your experience? Do you want your friends or loved ones to spend time with only you? Do you make some people feel guilty for not helping you? Does any of that sound like you? Well, if it does, it's not late. There's really nothing wrong with asking for help or needing help. You just have to know where to draw the line. Don't make others feel guilty for not wanting to help or choosing themselves. No one owes you anything. If you insist they do, you are actually toxic to them. 2. You mostly care about yourself. We all care about ourselves, right? If you don't, you should. You can't do much if you're not fine. According to the Talented Ladies Club, toxic people are so busy thinking of themselves that they rarely show any concern for others. Caring about others is different from neglecting others. People who are toxic to others usually ask a lot from others. Imagine asking a friend to stay up and wake you up later in the night when you both have the same exams to prepare for. Does he or she not also need as much rest as you do? These things also may not seem to mean much but they actually hurt others over a period of time. Don't make your friends make sacrifices if you don't feel like it. Don't ask of them anything that makes them uncomfortable simply because you feel that if placed in their position, you will do the same. This is very unfair. Everyone is different and your duty as a friend is not to change them into you but to respect their values and beliefs. All it would accomplish is to make them feel inadequate. 3. Are you overly dramatic? Do your friends always come to ask you for forgiveness over things they seem not to understand?  That's why you have friends. People who are not friendly typically have no friends. When you have friends, you care for them and work with them to best their dreams and aspirations. This is very important in friendship and even relationships. If the person only brings drama, you are very likely to be unhappy in the relationship. Do you complain about everything? If you don't know, act your friends honestly. You need to stop. If you don't do this, you may end up without friends at all. No one likes feeling confused about a relationship. It brings uncertainty and people, for the most part, prefer to be certain about things. Drama is not good for anyone. You may go on telling others that you are not happy with you while he or she is completely unaware of what the challenge is. More often than not, when they find out, they may then start trying to make amends. But guess what? Such behavior is one that is likely to make your friends tired. It will seem like an unending cycle of drama. It will make them unhappy. 4. You make other people feel bad Have you ever had an argument where you poked on your friends' confidence to even the score? If you have, you really shouldn't be doing that. According to psychology today, toxic people often make you want to fix them and their problems. They want you to feel sorry for them and responsible for what happens to them. People who are this way poke at your confidence so that you are dependent on them and their friendship. It also helps them deal with their self-esteem problems. They feel that if you are also a mess mentally, you will somehow be more at your level than you currently are. This type of friendship has no bright future. The trouble is that your friend who is toxic does not even know they are. This can make it difficult to work with them. You are better off on your own. If you stay, you might get hot. 5. You make others responsible for your feelings There's always a friend who doesn't take some kind of jokes and who flares up at things you would assume should hot no one. Are you this friend? Everyone has a right to act in any way they choose. This of course has consequences but they are still free all the same. You should not hold people responsible for how you feel.  The difference between toxic people and emotionally healthy people is that toxic people has no emotional defenses. Their feelings are so raw and unprotected that the slightest thing can hurt them. Something as petty as an unreturned text, call or email, although wrong expression on someone's face, the tiniest unintentional thing can set them off. This is not the ideal type of relationship anyone should keep. They can get annoyed at essentially anything. You're supposed to feel at peace with a friend and not be worried that you may say the wrong thing all the time. Normal people think things better. They can approach you subsequently to say that when you said something earlier that they felt unhappy but with the right motive to inform you. Toxic people will simply blame you for being so insensitive when you didn't even know what they may have been going through. Does this sound familiar? If it is, you need to be careful. Your friend won't stay patient forever. 6. You think the world revolves around you The funny thing about this is that you will feel that what you are doing is perfectly normal. But do your friends see it this way? You probably shouldn't ask them. Has anyone of your friends even told you that they feel trapped in the relationship that they feel they give more than they take? If they haven't, you're in luck. If they have, you should probably consider doing some self-awareness exercises. There may be deep psychological challenges that you have left unresolved. This can only get worse if you do nothing about it. With people who are toxic, people can't really share their experiences. The toxic person always has a far worse experience to compare it with. This can make your own experience pale and insignificant. This will not do much to you, will it? So if your friendship isn't well balanced, if you find yourself frequently being a shoulder to cry on for someone or talking a friend down from some emotional cliff and not being afforded the same time and care in return, maybe it's time to reconsider whether this is someone you really want to confine in going forward. 7. Do you celebrate other people's happiness? This may sound absurd to ask because most people celebrate the good fortune of their friends. And anyone who doesn't is regarded as a monster. It may, however, be more complicated than you think. People who are toxic don't always rejoice at the good fortune of their friends. They, on the contrary, feel threatened. The friendship is usually based on the idea that they are better than you in some way and that you make them feel good about themselves. When a new circumstance threatens this reality, they don't take it well. If the thing you got later doesn't work out, they don't sympathize for long because they naturally were never happy you were going for something higher. You need to wake up from your mirage and see these friends for who they really are. They may not really know what they are doing, but you don't deserve to be treated that way.

Hey there chameleons! It's your girl Camille and as you can tell, there's something different about me today. That's right, I finally got my eyebrows done. Okay, it's my hair, but eyebrows are still really important. Anyways, you already know what this is. I'm gonna show you how I achieved this purple and pink look or as I like to call it, a purr pink on my hair. It's perfect for festival season or just whenever you feel like you need a change in life. So let's go! So I'm using two dies today. Both are from the new Garnier Color Sensations Permanent Color Cream Line that just launched at Walmart and there are links in description box down below. I am alternating between the Garnier Color Sensations 8.21 Sweet Lavender Dreams, which as you can tell by the name is a lavender. And the Garnier Color Sensations 9.20 Smell the Roses, which is a nice pastel pink. Each box comes with a 20 volume developer, a tube of the Colorant Cream, a packet of rose-infused after color conditioner, a set of instructions that I recommend reading before using, as well as checking the side of the box to see how the color will show up on your hair. And there's a little precision brush all wrapped up in there. I love when dies come with gloves that are attached to the instructions and you just get to peel them off. It's honestly so satisfying and everyone deserves to feel that feeling. Plus when you're working with chemicals you absolutely need to wear gloves anyways. So I started with nearly white hair because I'm using pastel colors and that's the only way to get them to really show up well. If you want to see a video on how I did this it's linked in the description box down below. So the first thing I'm gonna do is take out my bun, hun. Then parting my hair down the middle to section off one side at a time. Now I'm making really thin slices of hair from the front to the back so when it comes to using the two colors I can easily alternate sections so it all curls together. I'm doing the sections now just because it takes a while to do on curly hair so I'm getting it over with first. But if your hair is straight you can probably do this on the fly or even do smaller sections. I'm making these sections go all the way to the back of my head then separating them with bobby pins so they're easier to grab later. Once you have your hair sectioned out you will look crazy. Now you can put on those gloves to save your sweet little fingers and open the developer. Pop open the tube with the cap, squeeze out all the colorant cream in there, cover the tip and shake it like a Polaroid picture. I'm doing the same thing with the purple so I can have both ready to go. Depending on your situation you can use the brush or your hands to apply the dye. Brushes tend to get tangled in my hair and I'm not having anyone help me do the back so I opted to use my hands to spread the dye so I could really feel what I'm doing. The most important things to keep in mind are that it's really important to get all the way to the base of your roots with the dye and even more important to make sure your hair is very saturated in dye before moving on to the next section or it'll come out lighter and patchier than expected. These dyes are designed to nourish your hair while they color it, can cover gray hairs and are made to be a creamier texture so it's much easier to work with. I alternated between the pink and the purple dyes for each section until that side of my head was done. Since I ended with purple on this side of the middle part I'm using pink on the other side. The last thing I did was use some of the pink dye to cover my baby hairs to make sure that they got some love as well. I alternated sections for the rest of the other side as well and then left the dye in for about 30 minutes. After that I rinsed the dye out in the shower until it ran clear and then used the after color conditioner which was so incredibly conditioning that I decided to leave it in overnight and rinse it out the next morning. Then I just styled my hair like usual and that's it. Leave a comment down below and tell me what you think about this new color. Thanks so much for stopping by my channel.
