ROARING 20'S

TODAY I'D FIGURE I WOULD START A LITTLE SERIES OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE DIFFRENT ERA'S. AS YOU CAN SEE I WILL START WITH THE "ROARING 20's". THE PHRASE "ROARING 20's" EMPHASIZED THE PERIODS SOCIAL, ARTISTIC, AND CULTRUIAL DYNAMISM. "NORMALICY" RETURNED TO POLITICS IN THE WAKE OF WORLD WAR 1, JAZZ MUSIC BLOSSOMED, AND THE FLAPPER REDFINED WOMANHOOD. THE 20'S WERE THE DECADE OF THE BATHTUB, MODEL T AND THE $5 WORK DAY, THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE FIRST MOVIE AND PHOTOGRAPHY WAS KNOWN AS A ART FORM. THE RAPIDLY GROWING AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY WAS LED BY HENRY FORD AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. INCREASED WAGES AND LOWER PRICES OF VEHICLES THROUGH MASS PRODUCTION MADE PURCHASING A CAR MORE AFFORDABLE. THE FIRST WORLD WAR (1914-18) HASTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF AEROPLANES WHICH WERE INFANCY. BY THE 20'S THEY WERE MORE RELIABLE BY CARRING LARGER LOADS AND TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES. IN THE BEGENNING AEROPLANES WERE MADE WITH WOOD, THEN LATER INTO METAL. RAGTIME WHICH HAD BEEN POPULAR DURING AND AFTER THE WAR SUITED TO THE NEW MUSIC TEMPOS AND SO IT FLOURISHED. OLD FAVORITES LIKE THE WALTZ DID REMAIN POPULAR. DANCES LIKE THE TANGO AND THE CHARELSON BECAME POPULAR WHEN THEY WERE RELEASED IN A MOVIE STARING RUDOLPH VALENTINO AND JOAN CRAWFORD. FASHION HAS ALWAYS BEEN INFLUENCED BY THE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. CLOTHING DEVELOPED CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE ARTS, AND INCREASED A SENCE OF FREEDOM WAS EXPRESSED IN THE SIMPLE YET ELEGANT DESIGHNS WITH CAREFULLY SELECTED FABRICS AND COLORS. HATS, SHOES, STOCKINGS, HANDBAGS, DRESSES AND JEWLERY CAME TOGETHER TO CREATE A ELEGANT STYLE. THE VIBRANCY WAS LOST IN BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS. THAT IS ALSO WHEN FINGREWAVES AND THE BOB BECAME IN STYLE.

SOUTHERN BELLE

A SOUTHERN BELLE (DERIVED FROM THE FRENCH BELLE, "BEAUTIFUL") IS ANOTHER NAME FOR A YOUNG WOMAN OF AMERICA'S OLD SOUTH'S UPPER CLASS. DURING THE PERIOD KENTUCKIAN SALLIE WARD OF LOUSVILLE WAS THE MOST NOTED BELLE IN THE SOUTH, HER PORTRAIT, WHICH HANGS IN THE SPEED MUSEUM OF LOUSIVILLE WHICH IS ALSO CALLED "A SOUTHERN BELLE". SOUTHERN BELLES EPITOMIZE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY CULTIVATION OF BEAUTY AND FLIRTATIOUS YET CHASTE DEMENAOR. (THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS A PICTURE OF SALLIE WARD)WWW.WIKIPEDIA.COM

I ALSO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE CUTE FOR THE BLOG. HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO BE A SOUTHERN BELLE.

1. OFFER MINT JULEP OR ICED TEA TO EVERYONE WHO VISTIS YOUR HOUSE.
2. EAT GRITS EVERYDAY FOR BREAKFAST.
3. REFER TO YOUR HOUSE AS "THE PLANTATION" NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS.
4. REFER TO EVERY MAN AS A "GENTELMAN CALLER" OR "BEAUX".
5. NEVER LET A MAN KNOW THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED OR CHASE HIM BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE ARE TOO MANY MEN WHO WANT YOU FOR YOU TO EXPAND THE EXTRA EFFORT.
6. WHEN YOU HAVE A DATING DELEMA AND HAVE ANOTHER GENTELMAN CALLER OVER WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING ANOTHER CLAIM TO BE "EXPIRED" AND EXCUSE YOURSELF FOR A NAP UNTIL HE LEAVES.
7. WHENEVER YOU ARE ASKED TO DO WORK, FAN YOURSELF AND CLAIM YOU HAVE THE "VAPORS".
8. REFER TO ANY PARTY YOU GO TO, EVEN THE KEGER AT THE UNIVIRSITY AS A "CIOTILLION", ALL OTHER PARTIES ARE YANKEE GARBAGE.
9. TRY TO USE WORDS LIKE "DARLIN", "SWEET" OR "PRECIOUS" IN EVERY SCENTENCE.
10. BELONG TO A COUNTRY CLUB. EVEN IF YOU DON'T, REFER TO ANY CLUB YOU BELONG TO AS A "COUNTRY CLUB". NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW THE DIFFRENCE.
11. SET UNDER A MAGNILIA TREE WITH A PARASOL FANNING YOURSELF OFTEN. PASSER-BY WILL TAKE NOTICE OF YOUR BELL-NESS.
12. NEVER MARRY A YANKEE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A YANKEE BY ASSOCIATION.

13. NEVER BE SEEN WITHOUT MAKE UP AND A GIRDLE.

TIPS:

1. A PARSAL AND A UMBRELLA ARE NOT THE SAME THING. IF YOU REFER TO YOUR PARSAL AS A "UMBRELLY" YOU WILL NEVER BE A BELLE.
2. BEING A BELLE IS A LIFETIME OF WORK. SO PRACTICE EVERY DAY.

HAIR CARE

MY BLOG TODAY WILL BE ALL ABOUT HAIR CARE.....OBVIOUSLY. I AM GOING TO POST ABOUT MYTHS AND TIPS TO HELP KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY.

5 HAIR CARE MYTHS

• CONDITIONER CAN FIX SPLIT ENDS-- THE ONLY THING THAT CAN HELP SPLIT ENDS IS A GOOD HAIR TRIM. IF YOU DO HAVE SPLIT ENDS IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO INVEST IN A CONDITIONER TO HELP MANAGE YOUR SPLIT ENDS. I KNOW THERE IS A PRODUCT BED HEAD MAKES CALLED SPLIT END MENDER, THAT HELPS WITH SPLIT ENDS.
• EVERYONE SHOULD BRUSH THEIR HAIR 100 TIMES DAILY-- THIS CAN LEAD TO BREAKAGE AND SPLIT ENDS, ONLY BRUSH ONLY WHEN NEEDED. REDKIN MAKES A WHOLE LINE FOR BREAKAGE....IT'S CALLED EXTREME. THEY HAVE SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS AND OTHER STUFF TO HELP PROTECT YOUR HAIR.
• YOU NEED TO USE A LOT OF SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER FOR GOOD RESULTS-- USING TO MUCH SHAMPOO CAN CAUSE A DRY SCALP AND USING TO MUCH CONIDTIONER CAN CAUSE OILY HAIR.
• BRUSHING YOUR HAIR WHEN WET HELPS GET THE TANGLES OUT-- WHEN YOUR HAIR IS WET IT IS BEST NOT TO BRUSH IT AT ALL. GET A WIDE TOOTH COMB AND COMB THRUGH IT.....BRUSHING IT CAN CAUSE BREAKAGE. AGIN, I WOULD RECOMEND REDKIN EXTREME FOR BREAKAGE.
• HAIR SHOULD ONLY BE WASHED EVER TWO TO THREE DAYS-- THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO CERTIN PEOPLE. IF YOUR HAIR GETS DRY EAISLY, THEN WASH IT EVERY COUPLE O DAYS, AND GET A HYDRATING/COLOR CARE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER. IF YOU HAVE A OILY SCALP AND DRY ENDS DUE TO STRAIGHTNING OR COLORING YOUR HAIR....YOU CAN EITHER WASH IT EVERY OTHER DAY AND USE BABY POWDER ON YOUR ROOTS, (USING BABY POWDER OBSORBES OILS IN YOUR HAIR), OR YOU CAN GET A REDKIN CHEMESTRY SHOT, WHICH IS LIKE A CONDITIONING TREATMENT.

WHAT TO DO FOR HEALTHY HAIR:

• BRUSH YOUR HAIR BEFORE WASHING IT, THIS WAY YOU'LL REMOVE ANY DIRT FROM YOUR HAIR.
• BY MASSAGING YOUR HAIR CAN HELP BOOST CIRCULATION.
• NO ONE CAN TELL YOU HOW OFTEN TO SHAMPOO YOUR HAIR, WHENEVER IT FEELS DIRTY, WASH IT WITH A SHAMPOO AND CONDITION THAT GOES WELL WITH YOUR HAIR.
• ALWAYS MOISTURIZE YOUR HAIR.
• WHENEVER YOU RINSE THE CONDITIONER USE THE WATER A LITTLE ON THE COLD SIDE. IT HELPS CLOSE THE CUTICULE.
• LET YOUR HAIR DRY NATRUALLY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. USING AND BLOW DRYER AND STRAIGHTNER OR CURLING EVERY DAY OR EVERY OTHER DAY CAN DRY OUT YOUR HAIR.

PROFESSIONALISM

SO, I DECIDED TO POST SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH, PROFESSIONALISM............AT TIMES, I HAVE NOTICED I HAVEN'T BEEN 100% PROFESSIONAL.  BUT I FIGURED I WOULD POST SOME TIPS.....AND STUFF.  I AM DOING  MY RESEARCH SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!

PROFESSIONALISM-  1.  PROFESSIONAL CHARACTER, SPIRITS OR METHODS.

       2.  THE STANDING PRACTICE, OR METHODS OF A PROFESSIONAL, AS DISTINGUISHED FORM AN AMATUER.

(REFRENCE WWW.DICTIONARY.COM)

• USE COMMON COURTSEY-- IF YOU USE COMMON COURTSEY WHEN DEALING WITH A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS, YOU'LL MORE LIKELY GIVE YOURSELF AND EDGE OVER MANY OTHER CANIDATES WHO FAIL TO DO SO.  IT ALWAYS MAKES SOMEONE FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU ARE COURTIOUS AND USE YOUR MANNERS.  DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOU ARE WORKING AND YOUR CUSTOMERS TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT?  
  
• PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE-- SOMETIMES, JOB SEEKERS ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE IS.  A TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL USE TO ALWAYS TELL US TO DRESS "A STEP HIGHER" THAN THE ASSOCIATES IN THE DEPARTMENT YOU ARE APPLYING FOR ARE WEARING.  THIS USUALLY MEANS A PAIR OF SLACKS AND A DRESS SHIRT FOR MEN AND DRESS PANTS AND BLOUSE FOR WOMEN, (DEPENDING ON YOUR JOB.  SOME JOBS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRESS THAT WAY, LIKE IF YOU ARE A SERVER.  THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD DRESS AT A INTERVIEW, AND IN CERTIN WORK PLACES).  YOU CAN STILL LOOK "HIP" WITHOUT LOOKING SO PLAIN.
• NEAT AND CLEAN!!! -- WEAR UNWRINKLED CLOTHESIN GOOD CONDITION.  PURSES AND SHOES SHOULD BE IN GOOD CONDITION TOO!!  BATHE GOOD AND MAKE SURE YOUR NAILS ARE CLEAN.  MEN PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR FACIAL HAIR AND WOMEN PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR HAIR AND MAKE UP (IF YOU WEAR ANY) IS DEACENT.  
• HERE IS A BIG LIST OF PROFESSIONAL DONT'S--  PLEASE DO NOT WEAR, TENNIS SHOES, VISIBAL TATTOOS, VISIBAL BRA'S AND UNDERWEAR, WRINKLED CLOTHES, SHOWING MIDRIFF, BACK PACKS, UNTUCKED SHIRTS, CHEWING GUM, HAVING CELL PHONE/BEEPER SHOWING...TURN IT OFF, T-SHIRTS, LONG NAILS, UNKEPT HAIR, UNSHAVED FACIAL HAIR (OR LEGS IF YOU ARE WEARING SKIRT OR DRESS, BAGGY CLOTHES, HATS, MIS-MATCHED CLOTHES, SANDALS/PLATFORMS, JEANS, ANYTHING TIGHT OR REVEALING, HEAVY OR FLASHY MAKE UP (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), HEAVY PERFUME, SMELL OF CIGGARETTS, SUNGLASSES, OUTDATED CLOTHING, POOR POSTURE/SLOUCHING, OVER ACCSORIZING, FACIAL PEIRCINGS,  GLITTER ANYTHING (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), ANYTHING TOO TRENDY (DEPENDING ON THE JOB), SWEATPANTS OR SWEAT SHIRTS, WORN PURSES, MINI SKIRTS OR SHORTS, SUNDRESSES OR LOGOS.
• SEVEN ESLOPPY SPEACH HABBITS--  YOU MAY LOOK GOOD ON PAPER OR ALL DRESSED UP BUT HOW YOU SPEAK IS SOMETIMES THE MOST IMPORTANT, (A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH THIS!!!  1. NON WORDS--  FILLER WORDS SUCH AS "UM", "YOU KNOW", AND "LIKE" SOMETIMES TELL THE INTERVEWIER  KNOW YOU AREN'T PREPARRED AND  MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE A VALLEY GIRL (OR BOY).  THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.  EVERYONE SLIPS UP AND SAYS "UM" EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT DON'T LET IT START EVERY SENTENCE.  2. TALK UP--  A RISING INFLECTION AT THE END OF EVERY SENTENCE CREATES A IMPRESION THAT YOU ARE ASKING A QUESTION INSTEAD OF M AKING A STATEMENT.  NO FOUL LANGUAGE.  3.  SLOPPY SPEACH--  SLURING WORDS TOGETHER AND DROPING ENDINGS OF WORDS IMPAIRS THE CLARITY OF YOUR MESSAGE.  TALK SLOW SO PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU.    4. GRAMICAL ERRORS--  YOUR INTERVIEWER/EMPLOYER MIGHT QUESTION YOUR EDUCATION IF YOU USE TERMS LIKE "AIN'T",  "SHE DON'T" AND "ME AND MY FRIEND".  5. SPEED TALKING--  EVERYONE GETS NERVOUS DURING A INTERVIEW OR DEALING WITH SOME CUSTOMERS BUT DO NOT LET YOUR WORDS FLY OUT LIKE A SPEEDING BULLET.  JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND SIMMA DOWN. 6. WEAK SPEAK-- WHEN YOU PEPPER A CONVERSATION WITH WORDS LIKE, "HOPEFULLY", "SORT OF" AND "KIND OF" THE MESSAGE YOU CONVEY MAY SOUND LIKE YOU ARE LAKING IN CONFIDENCE.  USE WORDS LIKE, " I AM CONFIDENT THAT", "MY TRACK RECORD SHOWS", AND "MY GOAL IS".  7. THE BOTTOM LINE--  SIMPLY SLOW DOWN AND TAKE YOUR TIME.  TAKE THE TIME TO PRONOUNCE YOUR WORDS.
• HERE ARE SOME CHARACTERISTICS THAT DETRACT FROMPROFESSIONALISM IN THE WORKPLACE.  FOR STARTERS HAVING A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE IS BAD!!!  DRESSING OR BEHAVING BADLY, AND THINKING NO ONE WILL NOTICE, IS A SIGN THAT PEOPLE WILL NOTICE AND THINK BADLY OF YOU.  YOUR ATTITUDE COLORS EVERYTHING YOU DO.  CERTIN BODY LANGUAGE CAN BE CONSIDERED UNPROFESSIONAL, SUCH AS YAWNING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN...COVER YOUR MOUTH, PLEASE!!  ALSO, CHEWING YOUR GUM CAN BE CONSIDERED UNPROFESSIONAL, IF YOU JUST ATE THEN CHEW A PEICE BEFORE YOU GO INTO WORK OR MEETING, BUT BE SURE TO SPIT IT OUT BEFORE YOU GO IN.  

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS BLOG!!!  IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON WHAT I SHOULD BLOG ABOUT LET ME KNOW........I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW IDEAS.

I KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH!!!!

At school Little Johnny was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."

Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I know the whole truth."

His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."

Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth."

The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."

Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door. The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth."

The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your real father a big hug."
