For Dull Hair Styling products (as well as air pollution) can leave a film that both saps moisture and dulls shine—but dairy products like sour cream and plain yogurt can help reverse this damage. For Itchy Scalp For Limp or Fine Hair

Five Reasons Why Living Abroad is Good for Your Muse © pedrosimoes7 If you’ve ever slung a pack on your back and headed off to see the world, likelihood is you’ve kept a travel diary.

Going abroad, it seems, not only opens your mind; it unleashes your muse. The Mundane Becomes Magical One of the great joys of traveling overseas is the opportunity to experience new and wondrous things: grand canyons, leaning towers, great pyramids. During my first spring in Finland, I was walking down the street when I came across an old couple staring upwards with big smiles on their faces. It was only when I got home and spoke to my Finnish girlfriend that I discovered exactly why they were so happy. © Alexander Savin Passion Power © terrydu Opportunity Knocks Living abroad, especially to begin with, is not easy. © Unlisted Sightings

Sharrkan was leaning around to make sure the corridor was empty. “Of course I’m sure. “I really don’t think this is what King Sinbad had in mind when he assigned me to you…” “Shh, if anyone asks it’s stealth training. “Why are we whispering?” “They’ll be coming into the hall soon, so that door’s our best bet.” “You need to stop this at once,” admonished Yamuraiha in a harsh whisper, snatching at Sharrkan’s shoulder impatiently. “Oh, c’mon. Yamu's eyes went wide, and her voice scaled up an octave. “I will absolutely not misuse the great magical arts to—” “Shhhh! “I am trying to keep you from making an ass of yourself as usual.” “Great, then don’t get seen.” “Hey, that was just a joke, right…?” “Eh, who the hell knows?” “And he will tell us the ‘important stuff’ too, in due time,” Yamuraiha said, apparently in a last attempt to inject sense into the proceedings. “Hello, Sin.” “Oh really?
