Do you ever feel like your hair is dry or lacks shine? Maybe it’s not as long as you’d like it to be? The cause of your hair woes just might be your shampoo.

Most commercial shampoos contain harsh detergents and sulfates. These chemicals act as surfactants. Surfactants are meant to bind to dirt and oil on your hair and then rinse away in your shower. However, harsh detergents and sulfates will strip too much of your hair’s natural oils away as well leaving you with hair that feels like straw.

Many people search on Wikipedia on how to combat the harsh drying effects of shampoos while still keeping your hair squeaky clean? Enter cleansing conditioners: a new way to clean your hair while adding moisture to it at the same time.

Wen hair by Chaz is one such cleansing conditioner that will change the way you look at shampoo. Wen will completely transform your hair with just one use. And the more you use it, the better your hair will look. Just massage the cleansing conditioner in your hair and scalp and work it through to the ends. Rinse away the conditioner and marvel at the difference in your hair. You will be left with hair that is clean, soft, and shiny. You can’t get those results with regular shampoo! See, http://www.sephora.com/healthy-hair-care-kit-P374589.

Now, more than ever, people are connected, whether by social media, email, telephone or app there is no shortage of ways to communicate with one another. That being said, there is, as they say, no substitute for experience, no placeholder for real-world interaction and this simple conceit is what has lead tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland to create the business network, Magnises.

Magnises is a social networking club, aimed specifically at young millennials in the business world. The organization was created by technology Maverick and creator of Spling, Billy McFarland and aims to connect smart and cutting edge start ups with other similar ventures as well as big business for a more cohesive career experience. One of several features which makes the Magnises club unique is the fact that it is just as geared towards play as it is towards work. For instance, any time card carrying members of Magnises (black metal cards are given to ever new signer) enter a affiliated business, all they have to do is flash their card and they will be given, not only instant VIP access, but also a huge user discount.

Some of the different kinds of businesses that have partnered with McFarland’s Magnises network include various New York City restaurants, clubs, music venues and even some vacation suites. Additionally, Magnises members will also have the chance to rub shoulders with various New York celebrities like Ja Rule and Rick Ross via VIP access to particular events whether they be concerts, studio events and galas as well as helicopter rides.

Billy McFarland explains that the genesis for the idea for Magnises came from the simple observation that there was nothing more omniscient in regards to easy access payments than credit cards – almost everyone in the world of business carried one (or more) everywhere they went. Therefore, McFarland theorized that the best way to get the word out about his business would be to utilize a similar model and thus Magnises was born. And thus far the enterprise has been extraordinarily successful. See: https://www.magnises.com/faq

Founded just over a year ago, Magnises now has well over 6000 members and generates $ 250 dollars per card, though this does not seem like a great deal of money that amounts to well over $ 1,500,000 dollars. McFarland has publicly stated on numerous occasions that he has had far, far more offers for partnership deals than he has accepted due to the fact that he highly desires to only partner with businesses which he can trust % 100 so that he can provide the very best products and getaways for all of his loyal Magnises users.

Have you tried the new fad? Do you know what they new fad is? If you don’t, you will now. The new thing to hit the market is the use of cleansing conditioners. Do you know what cleansing conditioners are? If you don’t, you’re missing out.

Cleansing conditioners are the newest thing for beauty lovers. If you spend lots of time on your hair and feel like you would spend any amount of money to look good, then you most likely shop in your local beauty salon. What if I told you that you didn’t have to do that any longer? Would you be interested? Would you be even more interested in knowing that those same items are available to you and will make your hair feel like a million bucks but without ever stepping foot in a salon? If you are interested, Wen Cleansing Conditioners are what you need.

If you have never heard of them before, they are the ads on television with a number of beautiful actresses talking about how much they love their hair. They go into detail about the man who created Wen. Chaz Dean is the creator of Wen cleansing conditioner as well as a number of other products. He had the idea to create something that would not cause any damage to the person’s hair. He knew that in order for people to have beautiful hair they must first make sure that it is healthy hair. What good is your hair if its not healthy?

Wen cleansing conditioners are available in a number of scents. Some of their scents are more popular than others and the ones that are, well they will sell out quickly so you will want to order them before they do sell out. If you want to know how the cleansing conditioners work, there will be directions on the side of the bottle which will tell you in detail how to use the conditioner. This way if you forget before you actually try it, you’ll be able to read it in the shower.

You will start off getting your head wet as soon as you get in the shower. Why you ask? Well because before you do anything else, you will want to apply half of a dose of Wen hair care cleansing conditioner to your hair. Once it is applied, you will then wash the rest of your body. After you are done washing, you will rinse your hair out. After you have fully rinsed your hair, then you will want to apply another dose of cleansing conditioner. This time however you will rinse it right out. When you are done, your hair will be clean and will still be holding its natural oils needed to have healthy hair. It is that simple to use and that is why people are switching from shampoo’s to cleansing conditioners everyday.

The Kabbalah is based on a set of ancient Jewish teachings that are thought to be the oldest group of religious texts in the world; Kabbalah itself has an oral tradition taking the search for an understanding of the universe and its inner workings back to major biblical figures, such as Adam, Abraham, and Moses. In 1922 the forerunner to The Kabbalah Centre was established by Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag who had spent a number of years attempting to interpret the teachings of Kabbalah for a modern audience.

Among the followers of Rabbi Ashlag was Rabbi Philip Berg who attempted to continue the work of his teacher by bringing an understanding of the Kabbalah to as many people around the world as possible; eventually Rabbi Berg established the not for profit modern incarnation of The Kabbalah Centre in his own Queens, New York home. Philip Berg began teaching a theoretical version of Kabbalah that is based on the writings known as the Zohar that were first published in the Middle Ages. Theoretical versions of Kabbalah are the most easily understood and can be mastered by those without an understanding of Hebrew, according to The Kabbalah Centre, which is why these are favored over other options such as meditative and magical Kabbalah.

The Kabbalah Centre works as a not for profit organization who were first given tax exempt religious status by the Canadian government after teachers from the group began traveling to various Canadian cities to help students learn about their own spiritual nature. One of the reasons The Kabbalah Centre has been accepted by so many governments around the world is the fact the group does not try to convert followers to Judaism, but instead believe Kabbalah predates all religions and provides a glimpse into the universal wisdom or light that gave birth to all major religious groups. Teachers from The Kabbalah Centre believe all people have the ability to receive wisdom from the Zohar and live a more fulfilled life.

We are living in a tech savvy world where anyone who has access to a cell phone, particularly a smart phone, can order services for basically anything they can dream of without having to even speak to someone on the phone. We no longer have to flip through a phone book or get out our Rolodex in order to find the service provider we long for. There are many successful start up companies that are available to help get the job done, such as Uber driving services and Grubhub food delivery services, but even more helpful is the home service guru called Handy.

Handy has changed the way consumers find home service providers. They have tapped the market in order to bring cleaning and repair professionals in touch with consumers without having any of the ups and downs associated with typical home service providers. Consumers do not have to screen people themselves. In fact, one of the founders made it their mission to test out the screen process and online application process that Handy uses in two major markets before bringing it to all of the 28 markets that Handy provides services to.

Handy.com was started in 2012 by two Harvard Business School students. In the recent years, Handy has surpassed their competition, now being regarded as the best online home cleaning service provider available.
