What I know is that it is a very good line of .

My personal favorites are the (separate) and . These two come in different variants for specific and results. Since my hair is quite dry and wavy, I prefer to use the anti-frizz variant.

When you first use the shampoo, you will at once notice the clean smell. It is not too fruity and sweet and neither is it a soapy clean smell. In fact it just smells fresh. Unlike with other shampoos, Citre Shine's smell lasts throughout the day even if you get exposed to the sun and pollution. The conditioner enhances this smell even more.

Even as you use the conditioner, you can feel the smoothness of your hair. When you are done washing your hair, you can either air dry or it. Either way, you hair will be pleasantly surprised at how neat it looks like. The more amazing thing is the shine. The first time I used both products, I couldn't believe how my hair had become!

To get the best out of the shampoo and conditioner, I suggest that you take your time in the shower. Let the products soak in for a few minutes. Do this especially for the conditioner. Use a small amount and then leave it on for a while. Then make sure that you rinse them both off very well.

In order to experience what these great products can give you, you have to be willing to shell out a bit more than you usually would on your normal shampoo and conditioner. They usually offer discounts and additional free contents with the bigger bottles. You don't have to use a large amount of both the shampoo and conditioner to get your desired results. In fact, I do not use the shampoo everyday. There are days when I just use the conditioner as my hair is still shiny and not all tangled up.

Do not let the price turn you off. Think about it. With Citre Shine, you do not need to use as much of the shampoo and conditioner as you would with the more affordable brands.

As Citre Shine is not very popular (yet), there might be a problem finding the products. If I were you, I'd snatch a couple of bottles up if I chanced upon them.

Do it yourselfers have asked if there is a special product they can use on their car to make their baby . You can find some excellent products online and they will ship them direct to you. One line of products was the American Shine Product Line of . It is easy to order online and it comes within a week. The 'Gift Pack,' the Tire Dressing and Liquid Wax are all good.

After following the instructions, the results were great. The Rubber and Tire Dressing had good shine, but did not have the stickiness, which would attract dirt or blowing dust. The Carnauba Liquid wax was not difficult to use and gave a good shine, but you must make sure the surface has been properly cleaned first. To insure a proper wash, we used carnauba , which is recommended.

Up through the 60's most homes had a shoeshine kit available to them.., it was used on and . The shoeshine kit consisted of a brush and some soft cloths and some shoe wax which came in a couple of different colors and varieties. That is pretty much all it took to get it started. And the most important ingredient was the grease....the .

The purpose for a shoeshine kit was for taking care of the shoes. The more care you took with them, the longer they would last and the more family money would be saved. The shoeshine kit was used for maintenance, Sunday and holiday sprucing up and was always used after rain and snow storms. Almost all shoe wear during this time was made of some leather or suede and it was important that it was well cared for. Kiwi had been a shoeshine manufacturer for years.

The would be brought out, the footwear cleaned and then a conditioner was applied, it was similar to an oil and you would let it soak in and rub it in with the cloths. Then holing the shoe on one hand you would take the newly cleaned shoe and apply some wax in a circular motion and then you would rub it in with the cloth and then you would buff that shine on that shoe with that cloth and brush like there was no tomorrow,
It took forever to shine that shoe, and the wax in that shoeshine kit would last no matter how much you treed to use it up. Some of us would try to shine the heels but it didn't work out that well. The shoeshine men knew how to do it. We tried to do it. And a where you add a little moisture to the buffing polish. I don't believe more than 5 people in the world know how to do that.

I have seen some reproductions of the old professional shoeshine kits for sale. The one thing that differentiated the pro from the home kit was the fact that their supplies were always kept in a box with a slanted wooden top. An all purpose box, footrest, carry case and briefcase for the business man in which he carried the tools of his trade. These kits are very nostalgic today and I understand why.

In most cases, a made more money on his own than working in the fields or in a sweatshop. Nearly 100 years later in a park in a park in a popular city, a man walks around with an old paint buck that he uses for his seat; underneath his arm is his tool kit to repair any man's shoe and add a little sparkle in their step.

This man receives a lot of stares and sometimes dirty looks from people who wonder, 'How can he stoop so low to shine someone's shoe'. This is how he makes his living. Young men dressed in Suits with cufflinks or shades of black and grey slacks with (business casual). As they walk into the park to enjoy the little quite that's left in this big city, they whip out their to view their stock status before a man interrupts their piece to ask to do a shoe shine.

Then young man accepts even though he just purchased his yesterday. 15 minutes pass and this young man whips out his palm pilot once again to his secretary to cancel his last appointment, he's getting his shoes shined.

It's 12:30 in the afternoon and believe it or not, this shoe shiner has already earned $100 for the day and he has only been shining shoes for 2 hours. That young man made $30 in the past two hours...go figure. Actually, the shoe shiner made more in 2 hours than some of the people who gave him dirty looks as they passed by.

This man may be a shoe shiner but he is in control of his own destiny...his 'career destiny'. He sets his own hours where as the man that's getting his shoe shined and has to answer to someone. Not the shoe shiner. Let's say that the shoe shiner consistently shines 3 to 4 people per hour for the amount of $20. Let's say he works 8 hours straight, the same amount of time the young man works in his posh office building. 8 hours at 3 people per hour is a total of $480 dollars. The shoe shiner is only $120 away from earning the young man's weekly salary gross amount.

=95 The can be used to curl your hair as well as straighten as well as giving flicks to the ends of your hair either inwards or to flick out its any easy thing to do and it adds some fun to your hair. The way to curl you hair using the straightners is to clamp your hair straightners over a section you have divided and try to keep the heated plates as close to the roots as possible. As you pull your hair straightners through your hair, turn them 180 degrees by rotating your wrist, making sure you maintain an even, gentle tension on your hair. To produce tighter curls clamp the straightners harder, and rotate the straightners more and also increase the tension on your hair.

=95 Drying your hair whilst straighting this is now possible with a few brands of hair straighting including Hair Tools , Wet to Dry Hair Straightners and straightners. They say, towel dry your hair, then use the straightners like you would usually but do small slim sections at a time not missing out any. They will lock in any moisture which you usually lose when you blow dry your hair and control any frizz you may usually get.

=95 Adding shine to your hair they say this is now possible by straightening your hair using special straightners. Years ago there were the Straight and Shine Steam Straightners which for 7years ago worked very well at straightening your hair and seemingly adding shine to your hair. There is now a newer version of these called Thermaglass Salon Slim Hair Straightners, these are supposed to give your hair a smoother and straighter look whilst giving your hair extra shine.

There are also different widths of hair straightners the wide ones and the slim ones. The wide ones are better for people with thicker and longer hair whilst the slim ones would take a lot of effort to straighten thick hair but work well on long hair just takes a little longer.

Another option to consider is the temperature that the straightners reach. There are a lot on the market now that reach up to 230 degrees, which is very hot. There are upsides and downsides to this, an upside is that your hair may be straightened quicker with less hassle but the downside is that your hair may become more brittle and damaged from the heat. On some models of hair straightners you can decide on what temperature you want to use from 100 degrees to 230 degrees, which I think is a good idea. Maybe when you first straighten your hair after washing it you have it hotter but when you just want to iron out a few curly bits you use a lower heat.

Not only are black ones available but fuchsia and baby pink ones are available, but you will pay a premium for pink ones =96 the question is, is it worth it?

Waxes have long been the dominant form of protection but they are being replaced by new synthetic sealants. Sealants and waxes are both great products and knowing the differences between them can help you select what product or combination of products works best for you.

Waxes are primarily made from properties found in nature like . Waxes have fine water molecules in them, which make them more sensitive to heat than sealants. Once the clear coat temperature reaches 125 -- 200 degrees the moisture inside the wax starts evaporate and the wax will melt, leaving the paint without protection. If a wax is melting it becomes soft and contaminates in the air can settle in the wax. As the wax cools the contaminates can become trapped in the wax. will generally protect your vehicle from 2 -- 14 weeks. If you apply a wax to a dark colored vehicle and let it sit in direct sunlight continuously it will melt quickly, but if you have a lighter colored vehicle and store it in a garage you can get up to 3 months of protection.

Sealants are made in labs from artificial properties like polymers, resins, acrylics, etc. Creating a sealant takes ordinary polymers and removes properties that do not add more shine or protection to the formula by reducing the presence of water and other . Sealants will only begin to melt at several hundred degrees and will last 3 -- 12 months. Sealants are generally much more resistant to nature's and abrasions. Applying a sealant to your vehicle would be ideal to give it maximum protection for the winter months.

Sealants add a great shine and make the surface feel very slick. Sometimes right after applying a sealant the surface is so slick that moisture doesn't really bead up it sheets off. Sealants tend to be very reflective. So why would anyone use a wax then if sealants provides such superior protection and a great shine? Waxes typically provide a deeper and glossier appearance that makes the paint look endlessly deep. This look is sometimes referred to as "wet" or "hard candy" and looks stunning when done right. Typically a pure carnauba wax is used to give off this effect and produce the deepest shine possible. When automobile manufacturers display new models they will often apply multiple coats of a carnauba wax so their vehicle is sure to be eye catching.

So now we must evaluate what form of protection works best for vehicle owners. If you have a daily driver we recommend applying a sealant to ensure that you have a strong layer of protection for months to come. If you detail your vehicle regularly (at least once a month) or you have a vehicle that's not regularly driven you may want to just use a carnauba wax. With regular applications and/or light driving, the carnauba wax will give you the protection you need and the shine you want. To have the best of both worlds top off a coat of sealant with a layer of carnauba wax. This will give you the enduring protection of the sealant along with the rich and glossy appearance of a wax for a show car shine.

Tarnish occurs when metals in sterling silver oxidize; copper is the biggest culprit. Over time, your sterling silver will change color. Fortunately, this is easy to reverse. By using a simple cleaning method, you can restore that beautiful luster. It can literally look like new again. One of these easy methods can make your again.

Ultrasonic cleaners are popular with jewelers. Small units are sold for home use. Fill the reservoir with solution and your jewelry, and then turn it on. In a little while, your silver will look shiny and new. Simply rinse with cool water, then buff for a beautiful shine.

Liquid s are commercially available. Dip your jewelry into the tarnish remover according to the manufacturer's directions. While this method is great for sterling silver, some dips can cause damage to porous stones like amber and pearl. Read the label when choosing a dip to ensure it will be safe for your gemstones. Always read the directions carefully so you don't ruin precious stones.

A popular home recipe for requires nothing more than some , baking soda, and hot water. Line the bottom of a glass bowl with tin foil. Place your silver jewelry onto the foil, and then sprinkle it all with a generous spoonful of baking soda. (Some recipes suggest you add salt and dish soap as well, though this is optional.) Cover the foil and jewelry with boiling water and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse your jewelry well with clear water. The tarnish transfers to the foil, leaving you with gleaming sterling silver. Use caution -- boiling water may crack or otherwise damage stones.

Use a clean, soft cloth to gently polish your silver. Some jewelry stores sell special polishing cloths that are impregnated with jewelers' rouge, a super-fine abrasive designed to buff out any microscopic scratches that dull the shine of your sterling silver jewelry. These cloths are not good choices for plated items, as the rouge will remove the finish over time.

Let's start by assuming that your horse has been thoroughly bathed before the show. Braiding has been arranged, and your tack is clean are ready for use.

To get the best shine on your horse, you will want to give him a thorough grooming. While bathing is great for getting out the dirt, the coat can often use some extra help to keep its shine. While your horse is still damp, take a large and place it over its back. Then spray a light coating of show sheen over the coat where you will not be placing tack. Never spray under the , or where you need tack to stay snug.

While show sheen may seem a quick fix, it has many properties that make it very useful. It will increase the shine in your horse's coat, but more importantly, it will help repel dust.

Be sure not to show sheen the mane if you plan on having it braided, and not to show sheen above the end of the dock on the tail. Show sheen is very slippery and will make braiding next to impossible.

If your horse has white , or if the hooves are rough or uneven, try taking some mid- and lightly sanding the hooves. You can find sandpaper on blocks that are easier to handle than plain paper. While sanding the hooves may sound a bit odd, as long as you don't do it too often and only use it to smooth the surface layer and remove stains, it will not hurt your horse.

When finished, apply a layer of clear hoof polish to the hooves to keep them shiny. Black hoof polish can look nice on a horse with no white and , but looks silly on horses with brown legs or socks. Stick to clear polish on those horses. Some people prefer to use oil when the horse goes in the ring, but this tends to be sticky and the dirt quickly dulls the hoof.

If you use hoof polish, be sure to apply a moisturizer to the hoof after the show. The polish can dry the hoof out. If you show a lot, you might want to avoid using polish at every show, reserving it for the bigger events.

For horses with white socks and stockings, it can be next to impossible to get them clean. A quick trick is to buy corn starch and rub it into the whites before the show. The corn starch will make the whites glow, and any excess will quickly be shaken off as the horse takes a few steps. Be sure that any polish is fully dry before adding corn starch, or it will stick.

Clipping off the whiskers on the muzzle really tidies the face. Nothing makes a horse look like a nag more quickly than a shaggy muzzle. You can use scissors to trim the hair around the ears too, but avoid clipping them out if you can, as the hair inside the ears is important for protection against flies.

If you like the sleek, shiny look on the face, try using Brilcream instead of baby oil. This wonderful men's hair product creates a natural shine that sets off your horse without making him look oily. It only takes a little bit to add polish to your horse's face.

Finally, if your horse has scars that shine, or otherwise look unpleasant, try using a bit of shoe polish to cover them up. This will blend them in, while still looking natural.Lydia K Kelly is a writer for HorseClicks, classifieds of horses for sale Maine, horses for sale Maryland, horses for sale Massachusetts and other states.

Before you begin shopping for that perfect ring, you should know exactly what to expect, what to look for, and the various types of rings that are available. The first part of any engagement ring is the band; there are many different kinds of bands of different sizes, colors, and . The gems are just as ranged as the bands, they come in a variety of sizes, weights, cuts, and colors.

The first thought that comes to mind in an engagement ring, is a diamond. Of course, this is the traditional engagement ring; however, it could be any gem the couple chooses, it is all the matter of preference.

Selecting a Band

When selecting a band there are a few different types of metals you have to choose from, these include:

• Gold • Silver • Platinum

Each person has their own preference, some people prefer the traditional gold ring, others prefer the shine that silver or platinum can provide. Gold is perhaps the most of all metals when it comes to . The gold within a ring is measured in karats. The most popular karat weight of gold is , though you can find that are 18 Karats and 24 Karats as well. Gold also comes in two colors, yellow or white gold. The drawbacks of gold are that it can bend very easily when worn and tends to lose its shine after a period of time.

Silver or platinum are extremely hard and does not bend as easily. Neither of these are as popular as gold is and typically costs more than gold as well. Platinum is popular because it generally never loses any of its shine nor does it tarnish in any way and is perfect for those that are allergic or sensitive to other metals.

Selecting the Perfect Ring

Here are a few tips you should consider when you are ready to purchase a ring for that special loved one.

1. If you have already proposed and are ready to purchase the ring, take your loved one with you when selecting a ring. This will allow her to have a choice in the matter and this way you will always have the perfect size and fit.

2. If you are purchasing a ring prior to the proposal, consider retrieving (also known as sneaking) one of the rings she already owns and taking it with you. This will help in making sure the ring will fit on that big day.

3. Furthermore, for surprise rings make sure that you take notice of everything about the love of your life. Take note of the type of rings she wears, small stones, large stones, or none at all. This will help your jeweler make suggestions on the ring you should consider.

Overall, it can seem like a daunting task in picking out that perfect engagement ring. Have fun with it and know that the end results could very well be spending the rest of your life with the one you love.

To continue gains nothing. Are you done then?

You've got a burr on your blade edge and it should be removed. Once you've done that, the edge will usually have of metal still clinging to it. These bits feel like sand on the edge. But you'd like to get it as fine as it can be, even slippery sharp at that.

Maybe you've got knives that are going on display. Maybe they're going to be included in a ceremony of some sort. Or maybe you'd just like to show off your fine knives to your friends and family. I'm sure you'd want your edges to shine, to make them silky smooth. Well, then. It's time to strop it.

Stropping is a technique used to clean off a blade's edge after sharpening. It is meant to bend and twist those clinging until they fall off. It's also done to realign the microscopic teeth created on the edge while sharpening. Stropping is done by swiping both sides of your blade's edge over a leather strap. When you can no longer feel clinging bits, you have successfully stropped your blade edge. It should be shining nice and bright at this point. This is how stropping was always done in the past, but times are changing.

Did you ever think that you might one day be able to electrically strop an edge? I sure didn't. The world of electric has come a very long way. Some s are quite amazing. Many of the high priced sharpeners are equipped with their own stropping abrasives. How about that? It's true. Spend anywhere form over $50 to a few hundred on an exceptional electric knife sharpener and it'll both sharpen and strop your blades for you. Just like that. Yes, I know. It seems like an awful lot of money for just an electric knife sharpener. But if you've got the means and don't care to diddle with it, electric knife stropping is surely possible now. It is entirely up to you.

Let's make one point very clear. Stropping is not sharpening. It isn't, really. But stropping with a polishing compound or an abrasive compound sure is. When you do this, when you add such a compound to the strap, the stropping has now become its own form of sharpening. Because it can now remove metal from the edge, it is a sharpener. All by itself, however, the strap can do no more than strop an edge. Therein lies the difference.

For fine knife sharpening, stropping is always the last step. It is done after absolute sharpness has been achieved. It makes each knife edge as fine as it can be. They will shine and shine.

Looking back at where I was I can see that when I was stuck and frustrated I was playing a game. I've given that game a name. It's called 'Playing Small.'

When I played 'Playing Small' I believed there were in front of me, stopping me. The usual barriers (some of which you might recognize) are the barriers such as time, money, resources and qualifications.

Many of these barriers have been deconstructed by my es and . Once when I needed to make more money, my broke down what I needed to do into simple mathematics. That was all I needed to know. From their I could work out the rest and stopped playing small.

Another time, I was in a quandary over a family matter. I was sitting with my . He just threw his head back and laughed at me. 'Why are you making your own life so tough,' he asked?

That was all it took for me to realized I was holding from back something bigger and better, by a petty process I'd put in place.

My coach helped me straighten out a head full of confusion. I had so many ideas and was using them as an excuse to procrastinate. 'I don't know how to construct this idea,' I told him. 'Easy,' he said, ' the game of indecision. Make what you're doing simple and get on with it.'

That was all it took for me to stop playing small again.

Letting You Out

What my coaches and mentors have all done well is common amongst them all. They saw what I didn't see and helped the real me to be let out.

I see this time and again in my coaching. It doesn't matter if a client wants to run a successful holistic practice, gain promotion or control of their kids. As a coach, I see things they don't see.

Simply put, a coach sees the bigger picture, doesn't get caught up in all the 'stuff' of playing small and guides you towards your goal.

When you Shine, the World Shines with You

In the last month, (half of which I was on holiday) I've heard at least four 'Oh my God' gasps from my clients as they've just seen things they didn't see before on the other side of playing small.

Instantly goals became achievable.

One of the things I've noticed is that when an issue is put before a wise person, the light they shine on the dilemma transforms it. That's why I invest time and money with people who I deem to be wiser than me.

By investing in this way my life transforms faster with less time and energy wasted, worrying or wondering.

The very first decision when will be what metal you will be wanting your ring to be crafted from. Your basic choices are platinum or gold. Gold is available in a variety of colors including white, yellow or rose.

While platinum is certainly a more costly metal it does have a few long term advantages over gold. Firstly, platinum is a harder metal and will not wear down. Secondly, it will not lose its shine or tarnish, whereas white gold that has been rhodium plated needs to be re-plated periodically to maintain its shine. Thirdly, platinum is hypoallergenic.

Platinum can also be used to advantage in settings to help showcase your diamond. The ring setting will be less obtrusive, and the white metal setting can actually make your diamond look a little larger. The high shine of the platinum will enhance the fire and sparkle of your .

Gold may be less expensive initially, but in terms of wear and tear, and repairs over a lifetime, it may well be a case of . However, many girls do like the color that gold is available in. Ultimately it comes down to personal choice. If you prefer yellow or rose gold, then go for it. Perhaps you could have the claws or the setting made from platinum or white gold to highlight the diamond and have the actual band made from the metal of your choice. Or alternatively, have a platinum band that will not wear, and then have colored gold of your choice engraved or filigreed to give you a highly decorative and unique ring.

Yet another alternative is to incorporate both yellow and white metals for more complex designs.

Why then, did I diminish it? Why did I feel the need to about how much effort I had put into that gift? I must admit, I had to give that question some long, hard thought. What I realized is that I am still following the pattern that has dominated much of my life. I'm hiding my Light. You know that song, andquot;This Little Light of Mine, I'm Gonna Let It Shine?andquot; How many of us are afraid to let our andquot;lightsandquot; shine? How many of us hold back a large part of ourselves?

Maybe we are afraid of being braggarts. Nobody likes a boastful, prideful person. From a young age, our parents teach us and , which is not a bad thing in itself. But where do we ? Are we not allowed to take pride in our own accomplishments at all?

There is a very big difference between sharing our with the world, and showing off. When I look back across my life, I see a classic underachiever. Not because I wasn't capable of achieving anything, but because I was ashamed and embarrassed by my own abilities and strengths. I denied them and hid them at every available opportunity. If I shared those gifts with the world, it would call attention to me, attention I didn't feel worthy of accepting. Perhaps I was also afraid of . If I shared my heart and soul with the world, would I be laughed at or made fun of? Nothing could shoot my confidence down more quickly than rejection. Maybe you've had the same experiences? Have you had feelings of hesitancy about sharing your gifts? Have you been hiding your light, holding back an essential part of yourself?

How dare we hide our Lights? They are not ours to hide. They were given to us by a loving God of Light - the same light that shines within us. Each of us has a little spark of the Divine within. By denying that part of ourselves, we also deny God within us! We have a responsibility to share ourselves with the world; not in a way that proclaims us to be better than anyone else, but in a way that uplifts and enriches others. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to the world, and we owe it to God, the one who gave us these gifts and abilities to begin with. What good is a gift that doesn't get used? Imagine a flower being afraid to bloom, rain being afraid to fall, the sun being afraid to shine. We need to shift our perspective and realize that by hiding our lights, we are not serving anyone. Love, unexpressed, is not love at all.

So many of us think that we have nothing to share. We spend most of our days feeling like an empty shell. However, nothing is truly ever empty. Nature abhors a vacuum. Ah, remember that, from Science class? ;-) Though you may feel empty, there is something inside of you. It may be chaos or joy, optimism or pessimism, hope or doubt - but something is there. If you don't like what it is, you have the ability to change it by the power of your thoughts.

Know that you do have something to share with the world. If you will dare to reach down inside your soul and feel around a bit, you will find a long forgotten dream. A sense of excitement that you once had, a knowingness that you could change the world and make it just a little bit brighter. Reclaim that dream. It never really left you, it just got covered with a little dust. Clean it off and set it upon your mantle of hope. Infuse it with new life, and allow it to come into Being.

These two silver scrolls were found in 1979 deep inside a burial cave at a site known as Ketef Hinnom, west of the . They were hidden at the back of the tomb embedded in pottery fashioned as early as the seventh century BC.

Seven years later the fragile scrolls were opened and their texts deciphered. The scrolls contain an excerpt from Numbers 6:24-26, also known as the Priestly . In English the verses read: "The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." On the scrolls we find the texts:

Amulet 1: concluding benediction (lines 14=9619):

"[=85] May bless you [and] keep you. May Yahweh cause his face to shine [on you] =85]."

Amulet 2: benediction (lines 5=9612):

"[=85] May Yahweh bless you and keep you. May Yahweh cause his face to shine [on] you and give you peace [=85]."

The location of the find and analysis of the Hebrew on the scroll confirm a date close to 600 BC, perhaps earlier =96 long before the capture of Jerusalem and the .

The importance of this find can hardly be overstated. It proves this section of Numbers was written at least 2,600 years ago. This Old Testament passage is 400 years older than the oldest Dead Sea Scroll manuscripts, and perhaps even older yet. The age of the text may prove a nail in the coffin of the Documentary Hypothesis theories that the Pentateuch was not written by Moses, or that it was not even known in Moses' time.

Those theories speculate that large segments of the of the Bible originated in the period of Ezra: 400=96500 BC. In this debate, some of the arguments revolve around the use of YHWH, the divine name of God (often rendered "Jehovah" or "Yahweh"), which is said not to have been in use before this time. The silver scrolls, dated before 586 BC, contain that name. In fact, this is the earliest the name had been found in any dig in Jerusalem.

Therefore the silver scrolls are not only the oldest extant (still in existence) text of the Bible, they also provide compelling support to the authorship of the first five books of the Bible by Moses.
