<span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lauren's backstory for this shot: This shot almost didn't happen. We had lost all our natural light for the day, but still had this final look to shoot. So, determined to make it work, we had to do some wizardry. In this photo Xamie is actually lit by two cars. There were literally owls hooting in the trees around us as we shot this final look. Easily the most expensive lighting set up I have ever used. </span></div>

It started with composing music (mainly on piano) and separately I would write poetry or simple songs. Later it developed into combining chords with lyrics. Being a big fan of Jewel, Alanis Morissette, Tori Amos and later Fiona Apple, and seeing them process their life through music, I felt a strong need to learn to express my feelings through song. That being said, it was mostly piano compositions until around age 16.</span></p><h4 style="color: #1d2228; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana; font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">miri: how did you learn to play guitar?</span></span></h4><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">holly: I learned guitar around age 14, mostly by getting a guitar and strumming chords. I would “follow my inspiration” and play / find sounds that matched what I was feeling and i would also figure out songs of other artists that I loved by ear. Later I had some private lessons however, struggled with some learning difficulties.</span></p></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCS7tfVmBwv_uiAKsBKUmtoC6fNAGKpJL7AKuIbCauouiLRteBv_mh1oZeyjbMCYOPqboSayYhR1mwAs3PdWL1SSFM1a5a0THZ4c0s9D7TfM4VkNsSoQDbn4AZ1uxRPjZewxnEriGXDf49W8KVO_aPUW16Iffg9C1COPaPXswMcKdcaKAxr-uwnA4/s2500/4.png" style="font-family: verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blonde bohemian singer songwriter with flower" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2500" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOCS7tfVmBwv_uiAKsBKUmtoC6fNAGKpJL7AKuIbCauouiLRteBv_mh1oZeyjbMCYOPqboSayYhR1mwAs3PdWL1SSFM1a5a0THZ4c0s9D7TfM4VkNsSoQDbn4AZ1uxRPjZewxnEriGXDf49W8KVO_aPUW16Iffg9C1COPaPXswMcKdcaKAxr-uwnA4/w640-h384/4.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Nothing You Could Do; font-size: x-large;">the album</span></span></h3><div style="text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">While studying in San Francisco, Holly discovered a love of the healing & spiritual arts. This love is reflected in her music. The upcoming album “Love Remains” is a collection of songs composed by Holly in the last decade that highlight her own healing journey of love, loss, grief, self discovery, and transformation. Her soulful voice & lyrics convey a wide range of emotional depth, inviting her listeners to join her on that journey. </span></p></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Nothing You Could Do;">the community</span></span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Holly has put together an amazing group of musicians to bring "Love Remains" to life. Studio recording for the album began in summer 2019 and has developed into an epic project that features award winning performers and artists including: Lex Price (bassist for k.d. Lang, Miranda Lambert, Indigo Girls); Brian Allen (bassist for Brandi Carlile, Beth Hart, Secret Sisters, Sarah Bareilles, Jason Isbell); Lauren Conklin (Violin for Miley Cyrus, Florida Georgia Line); Cremaine Booker (Cellist for Hans Zimmer, Carrie Underwood, India Arie, Martina McBride, Jewel, LeAnn Rhimes, Lauren Diagle); Tim Galloway; Kevin Daily (electric guitar); Shawn Burns (Artist, Electric Guitar); Jason Erie (Artist, Guitar); and John Dennis (Artist, Guitar) among others. Producer, Chris Brush (Nashville-based Session Drummer & Producer) wears many hats on the project. Holly sings, arranges and records background vocals for the album from her home studio in Hendersonville. </span></span></p><h4 style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">miri: how did you get all those heavy-hitting musicians to play on your album?</span></span></h4><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: verdana;">holly: Nashville is an incredible community. I have met some really awesome people and artists playing music over the years at writers nights, etc. One thing lead to the next and I met my current producer, Chris Brush, who is touring drummer apart of the community. I’ll just add that this project has turned out to be way bigger than anticipated. That includes budget. I felt it was important though each step of the way to have quality players and sound. That being said, have poured my sweat and my savings into making it the best possible and am planning to do a fundraiser campaign to to help support the marketing part moving forward and hopefully generate some movement, joy & excitement with it.</span></p><h4 style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">miri: beyond the obvious technical skill of these musicians, the single is artfully produced. how involved are you in the mixing process?</span></span></h4><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">holly: My producer does the most of the actual mixing however I am hands on in the entire process. I laid down vocal arrangements and ideas, and edits. Chris Brush, my producer / mix engineer certainly contributes ideas and his input. So collaborative. I am very intentional in the mix process around sound levels, etc, as serious (if not more). I also have a community of friend / music producers that I leaned upon to get their ears and feedback on the mix as well. Teamwork makes the dream work. :)</span></span></p><p style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeeHT_Ko4eOf0zmJeuan2DifiSOnEjDJ9OGMzb0a8poeUZjNCkiYFru1c55-DtLN30YOUF0cSHzOLOVC_UbyFG_-lWrPifgakw7q83wHAuoyNIFXUVsgc93VNbGbcLHYYxbPd42MoFfDXaDToqvEiWqRRI7eBIm4H4VEk-admlcDGNbsVjKtVuvOHV/s960/LTAX3576.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blonde woman boho hippe holding flowers" border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="639" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeeHT_Ko4eOf0zmJeuan2DifiSOnEjDJ9OGMzb0a8poeUZjNCkiYFru1c55-DtLN30YOUF0cSHzOLOVC_UbyFG_-lWrPifgakw7q83wHAuoyNIFXUVsgc93VNbGbcLHYYxbPd42MoFfDXaDToqvEiWqRRI7eBIm4H4VEk-admlcDGNbsVjKtVuvOHV/w266-h400/LTAX3576.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><h3 style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px;"><span style="font-family: Nothing You Could Do; font-size: x-large;">the single</span></span></h3><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">High Road is performed and produced by a group of virtuousic musicians. The song feels familiar, solidly rooted in the traditional, but without a hint of cliche. The real treat here is Holly's lush, soulful vocals. Holly has a superb range. Powerful and subtle passages are handled with equal ease. The interweaving harmonies are supremely satisfying. It's such a joy to hear many Hollies singing at the same time! it feels like she's singing about my life, with her beautiful, heartfelt lyrics. Holly's gifts as a musician are only matched by her ability to deeply connect with her audience.</span></span></div><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Holly Bruce is a rising star.</span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: verdana; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Nothing You Could Do;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Nothing You Could Do"; letter-spacing: 0.16px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;">listen to </span><a href="http://www.hollybrucemusic.com/listen" style="font-family: "Nothing You Could Do"; letter-spacing: 0.16px; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">HIGH ROAD!</a></h2><p style="color: #1d2228;"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: "Nothing You Could Do"; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">future plans</span></h3><h4 style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">miri: do you have a big event planned for the record release?</span></span></h4><p style="color: #1d2228; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">holly: I plan to have a release early October!

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">My whole life, I've been struggling with body image, particularly my weight. I was convinced to my core that I was fat and ugly. I was actually convinced that the reason my band never made it to the big time was because of how I looked. (Looking back now, I see that was not true.) I would regularly make drastic changes to my (bad) diet, starve myself, exercise too much, binge eat, all of it. I was terrible to myself. I hated my body. I felt bad about it a lot. And nothing ever changed. My body remained relatively the same throughout my young adult life despite everything I tried.</span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">As I've gotten older, I cared less about losing weight and more about how I felt. Working two jobs meant no time for exercise and too much time for coffee. I felt AWFUL - sluggish, lethargic, tired.</span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">1. Digestive enzymes. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">My doctor suggested that these might help with my exhaustion, and gave me a questionnaire to figure out which ones I needed. It was a LONG questionnaire with more than 200 odd-seeming questions about hair growth, sleep patterns, family structure, etc. She analyzed the answers and came up with a regime of supplements that was perfect for me. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">They are not cheap, but I don't take as many as they suggest on the bottles; rather than taking two or three of each per day, I take one of each per day. This stretches the bottles and seems to work fine. I felt an immediate and dramatic difference in how I felt and how my body seemed to be working. It was really amazing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">I started with a plank challenge. It was hard to do 5 seconds even though I'd been doing yoga for years. I worked my way up to 2 minutes! Now I do a couple of 1-minute planks each day. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The planks and incline pushups have really strengthened my core and toned my arms. I think this has "stoked the fire" or something like that - my metabolism has gone up and my body is very very strong - the strongest it's ever been.</span><br />

I ran out of the dead sea mud i normally use, so I was hunting through my cabinet looking for an alternative. I found some powdered clove and a couple packets of bladderwrack (I've got lots of crazy stuff in my cupboards). Clove is one of the additives suggested on the henna instructions for a warm or reddish brown tone, so that seemed like a go. Seaweed is supposed to moisturize the hair, so that seemed like a good idea, too. </span><br style="font-family: verdana;" /><span style="font-family: verdana;">
<br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Bladderwrack is a sea-algae. Lots of places sell it. Here's a reputable place: <a href="http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/seaweed/seaweed.html" target="_blank">Mountain Rose Herbs.</a> Make sure you get the powder. </span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span><h2><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Recipe</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">1/3 cup henna</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">1/3 cup powdered cloves</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">1/3 cup powdered bladderwrack</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">2 tablespoons organic black strap mollases</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">boiling water</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the molasses. Slowly add water until you get a consistency you like. I like mine to be a thinnish paste so I can spread it easily on dry hair. If you want to wet your hair prior to applying the masque, you can make the paste a little thicker. It's up to you.</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Apply generously to hair and cover with a plastic cap or bag. Wrap a towel or turban around your head to keep the heat in. </span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Leave it on for at least an hour, and then rinse out very very very well in the shower. I usually wash and do a vinegar rinse after, but you don't have to. Washing helps get out every little grain of the masque.</span></span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">I was actually shocked by the color, consistency, and shine of my hair when it started to dry. Check this out:</span></span><br />

<h3><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Henna</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">The henna imparts lawsone molecules into the hair shaft, coloring it.
These bind with the keratin already in your hair. The longer it sits on
your hair, the more molecules get into the shaft. "Henna" can be one of
three plants, powdered: Cassia obovata (Senna) is neutral and colorless;
Lawsonia inermis (Red Henna) is the auburn reddish henna; and
Indigofera tinctoria (Indigo or black henna) is dark. Most hair hennas
are mixtures of different hennas and other plants such as walnut or and
rhubarb. Here's a great website with lots of information about henna:<a href="http://www.hennaforhair.com/" target="_blank"> hennaforhair.com</a></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Studies have shown that the primary constituent of clove (eugenol) is effective for the treatment of gray hair and for hair growth.</span></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</span><h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Bladderwrack (<i>Fucus vesiculosus</i>)</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Bladderwrack has three primary constituents: iodine, alginic
acid, and fucoidan.The alginic acid (a polysaccharide) swells into a gelatinous substance upon contact with water. It protects the hair shaft and holds in moisture. I've seen references to its use for hair loss, but can't find any studies on that.</span></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
</span><h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small;">Molasses</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">Contains LOTS of minerals. It smoothes and darkens the hair. It prevents
the hair from drying out. It's amazing. Including it into your diet is
supposed to keep your hair from going gray (the copper content
facilitates the production of melanin). I don't know about that, but I
know it helps cover the gray when I use it topically. </span></span><br />

</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;">clogged pores happen because the sebum gets stuck in the hair follicle (pore) instead of flowing up and out across the skin like it's supposed to. one of the reasons this can happen is that your sebum is too high in oleic acid and not high enough in linoleic acid. linoleic acid is thinner and more fluid, while oleic acid is thick and viscous, making it more likely to get stuck in that pore.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">HEMP OIL is great for clogged pores, because it is very high in linoleic acid. when applied topically, the linoleic acid gets into your pores and raises the level of linoleic acid in your sebum. this thins your sebum, allowing it to behave normally (flow!).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><i><b>read about the science of <a href="https://miriwords.blogspot.com/2015/05/clearing-clogged-pores-hemp-oil-and-oil.html" target="_blank">clogged pores / closed comedones</a>.</b></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The oil cleansing method seems almost counter-intuitive, espe</span>cially if you have any kind of acne. I mean, putting oil on your face on purpose? Weird. BUT applying oil to the face actually helps dissolve the sebum plugs that form in your pores. It will also make your wrinkles less noticeable, and the massaging makes your botox last longer!!!!!<br />

<i><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Oil dissolves oil.</b> One of the most basic principals of
chemistry is that “like dissolves like.” The best way to desolve a
non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent
similar in composition: other oils. By using the right oils, you can
cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and
effectively, while replacing the dirty oil with beneficial ones
extracted from natural botanicals, vegetables and fruit that <b>heal, protect and nourish your skin</b>.
When done properly and consistently, the OCM can clear the skin from
issues like oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, blackheads, whiteheads
and other problems caused by mild to moderate acne–while leaving your
skin healthy, balanced and properly moisturized.</span></i></div>

<div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
The trick is to find the right kind of oil for your skin. You'll see a lot of advice about using castor oil and other types of oils, and that's okay, but for those of us with very clog-prone pores, it's best to stick to hemp or sunflower. I'll tell you why.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>
Two considerations: comedogenicity and fatty acid content (these two things are related)</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What are whiteheads and blackheads, exactly?</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Whiteheads and blackheads (Comedones) are thickened sebum that has become trapped in your pores. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sebum and fatty acid content</span></h4><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sebum is a fatty substance that is manufacured in the sebaceous gland within the pore (hair follicle). The sebum flows up along the hair shaft and spreads across the surface of the skin. This keeps the skin moist and provides a slightly acidic environment known as the acid mantle. The acid mantle helps to kill bacteria and maintain your skin's proper pH. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeilORDN2ZFIWzV3dyAuVn_oFJj9hSKsVCCVcTIUhTGBSBK1HNuLM3_eViOrzOwIt5b1BHtFvM9nL3aPANzt2MxSjf4jYGDbL2l_EVA4TlmqQlbGilXnkCPiii7BEkGMcKwb2W1vjMjee-P33HIRMOwcBh8QvPpmeZbtcjcLALTKOr6NxW3jSDEIhe/s1080/sebum%20graphic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="sebum production healthy skin" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeilORDN2ZFIWzV3dyAuVn_oFJj9hSKsVCCVcTIUhTGBSBK1HNuLM3_eViOrzOwIt5b1BHtFvM9nL3aPANzt2MxSjf4jYGDbL2l_EVA4TlmqQlbGilXnkCPiii7BEkGMcKwb2W1vjMjee-P33HIRMOwcBh8QvPpmeZbtcjcLALTKOr6NxW3jSDEIhe/w400-h400/sebum%20graphic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Among other things, sebum contains some proportion of linoleic and oleic acids, which are natural fatty acids.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Normal sebum has a higher proportion of <i><b>linoleic acid</b></i>, which is a thin, free-flowing fatty acid. Some of us have sebum with a higher proportion of <i><b>oleic acid</b></i>, however, which is a thicker and dryer fatty acid. Sebum with a higher proportion of <i><b>oleic acid</b></i> is </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">MUCH more likely to clog the pores, because it is not free-flowing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">When sebum gets caught in the pore, the result is a blackhead (open comedone) or, if the pore closes around the clog, a whitehead (closed comedone). A closed comedone can then turn into a cyst.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIdNexE9XF5RAe-ndZ5JFjIYbKaJpvc8VB1nU-VazhfbMBtURbaTayxgaUkhOu3SW7HYXDkAJYt7vogDITs5wbD7bp8QrHXpgZ5781Qy56W7gng7Rf2IgRwa7HKTtF_y_8nahc-roxU1Vh2BYluawUne6gIR6IncTqG_8T8NMU-1jZyGQ9W7PDIb-/s1024/comedones.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJIdNexE9XF5RAe-ndZ5JFjIYbKaJpvc8VB1nU-VazhfbMBtURbaTayxgaUkhOu3SW7HYXDkAJYt7vogDITs5wbD7bp8QrHXpgZ5781Qy56W7gng7Rf2IgRwa7HKTtF_y_8nahc-roxU1Vh2BYluawUne6gIR6IncTqG_8T8NMU-1jZyGQ9W7PDIb-/w640-h320/comedones.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you have clogged pores and a DRY complexion, a low proportion of linoleic acid in your sebum is almost certainly the problem. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">In order to FIX THIS PROBLEM, you must <i><b>increase the proportion of linoleic acid to oleic acid</b></i> in your skin, both topically and internally. </span></div><div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Comedogenicity</span></h3><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Comedogenicity refers to the likelihood of a substance to cause clogged pores. This relates in part to the proportion of linoleic to oleic acid in the substance. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Different substances have different comedogenicity ratings. If something is rated a 5, it means that it is very likely to clog pores. These substances are high in <b><i>oleic acid</i></b>. If something is rated a 0, then it will not clog pores. These substances are high in <b><i>linoleic acid</i></b>. Here's an excellent list:<a href="http://www.beneficialbotanicals.com/facts-figures/comedogenic-rating.html"> comedogenic ratings</a>. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
Most people can get away with using oils that are higher on the comedogenic scale, but if you are prone to clogged pores, it's important to stick with oils that <b><i>are rated 0. </i></b></span></div>

These are sunflower, grapeseed, safflower, and hemp. I use hemp. I take a spoonful daily to get my dietary linoleic acid, and I use it as a moisturizer and cleanser for my face and body. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Topically, I use hemp oil in two ways. I use a drop or two as a moisturizer on my face after my cleansing and toner step, and i use it once or twice a week as a deep cleanser. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Please note that oils high in linoleic acid tend to be very volatile; they go rancid quickly. I keep mine in the freezer. This keeps it from going bad. I've had mine in there for 5 or 6 months and it's still fine. It will start to smell funny when it goes rancid, and you'll have to throw it out.</span></div>

Benefits of hemp oil: </span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">high in linoleic acid;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">contains more essential fatty acids than ANY OTHER PLANT IN THE WORLD, meaning that it is super beneficial for your entire body, resulting in shiny, strong, healthy hair and skin; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">anti-inflammatory;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">non-greasy moisturizer;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">healing properties for eczema, psoriasis, and any skin lesions; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">makes a GREAT base for makeup.</span></li>
</ul>
<div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Hemp Oil Cleansing Routine</span></h3>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
You don't have to remove your makeup to start, as this IS the cleanser! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Take a tablespoon or so of oil in your palm. Rub it in circles on your face. </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">It seems like a lot of oil, but that's okay. </span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Massage it into your face for at least 10 minutes. </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">You will start to feel the little sebum plugs coming out. They feel like little grains on your fingers. </span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Place a washcloth that you have soaked in water (as hot as you can stand it) over your face and let it steam until it grows cool. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wipe your face with the washcloth. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wet the washcloth again in hot water and steam one more time. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Wipe your face again. </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's really important to get all the oil off your face, so you may have to repeat the steam and wipe a few times. </span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
I find that the best time to do this is in the shower. Your skin is warm and steamy and all your pores are open.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Watch the video!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hf3xAeSegjE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hf3xAeSegjE?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div></div><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br style="font-family: "Times New Roman";" /></div></span></div>

If I've worn makeup during the day, I will use oil to clean my face that night. I only massage it for a minute or so then, and it works fine. It really does clean your face. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana;">
And that's it! I don't follow that with toner or anything. </span></div>
<div>

Good luck with this, people! Please share your experiences with me and ask me any questions you may have. </span></div>

We will always be forever grateful to my aunt and uncle for opening their Southern California hilltop home to us and our guests. Their home ended up being the perfect location for our intimate, rustic wedding. all the while providing the most romantic sunset view during our first dance. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The Theme</span></span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">Despite getting married amidst a global pandemic, which is not for the faint at heart, we were determined to bring our vision to life, accompanied by our own styles and with the most romantic, charming details. Being country people, we always thought a country-themed wedding was a no brainer, especially since that's where both of our styles met in the middle. Not to mention, you can't have a country wedding without some finger-lickin' BBQ, Kyle's favorite.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/miribridal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="sage gold rust color palette wedding" border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="2000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZZCvyT_0hXI88_4VjdaiB1CYQhcBOPhlM7dlVvT02VReZvi718FpmH0gatev-SEpQ2lyoFbE_cgaTygFTU_B3L6FidE8zwlcu_0b50Cd3CE9J3r0K0vpaHvE6ADR8uZzOJ53cMlbLJk/w640-h480/blog4.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm a down home country girl at heart, but I love to get all dolled up with hair and makeup and show my taste for the fancy things in life.

Since Kyle is both Cowboy and Indian, we had the perfect excuse for some tribal accents. This combination created the perfect inspiration for our wedding style while allowing us to stay true to the classy, rustic vision we started with. It being the fall season, the best one in my opinion, the autumn color scheme intuitively added to the boho infusion. I took advantage of the beautiful fall colors and asked my makeup artist to use my personal favorite, warm, earth tones and requested my hair stylist part my my boho waves split down the middle. (weird for a forever-side-part girl, like me). As soon as I saw Miri bridal's listing for the turquoise bridal earrings I knew I found the piece that tied my look together. The turquoise stones accented by the rhinestone studs speak "classy, boho western," making them my perfect "something blue." </span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/miribridal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img alt="wedding invitations color scheme country wedding" border="0" data-original-height="1229" data-original-width="2048" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE71OZF-P3vg99TmHX_N8GJevyflOHJHUwGt9Hvn51q-bSSv8yL7k5A5ieQ9gCkuITGro9mUDswdraEndzB1R3LsNw1REnkFoc9QvrIoUG2INLbMimGlJkLvVuIxQwXt6NxqkSKZWEnQU/w640-h384/blog9.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's All In the Details</span></span></h3><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Not only did our florist add deer antlers to our rustic wooden arbor, he also added pampas grass and pheasant feathers to my country floral bouquet. I found the prettiest white western booties to go with my romantic, long sleeve Lillian West wedding gown, which was the first dress I tried on! I felt the dress would also be complimented by a pure white cowgirl hat and a white fringe denim bridal jacket I found on Amazon, that I just HAD to get personalized with my new title, of course. </span></span></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/miribridal" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img alt="country wedding blonde bride outdoors" border="0" data-original-height="1229" data-original-width="2048" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrS7RzuC3KbtbwnHeIb2qNIJc55kVmtJ_FD5shgBc8owJnT9Sp3qYXLyQ0cioxvlJgOb942ONJZYOLHCiRyd3iOLj4lADHQ3n3cEr9plAljMpjLcAptXj02Whjo9N0OUvZyUWpOzMdh00/w640-h384/blog7.png" width="640" /></a><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">From the guest "log" conveniently found lying in Kyle's dad's woodshop to the bolo ties made with stones we handpicked for each of the men in our family, our details were carefully planned and executed to portray both our heritage and style as a couple.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">welcome to the haddaway house, a gorgeous 1880s adobe on two acres of land with a huge metal-working studio, pool, hot tub, an old train car, a couple of vintage airstreams, retro campers, tents, LOTS of sculptures, four cats, and a big dog. barb offers a stay in the main house, the campers, or the tents through airbnb, which is how my son and i came to be here for two months while we buy a house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">we were feeling weary and lonesome when we first arrived, having just left a very difficult situation with an ex partner. it was purely by chance that we chose this particular air bnb. i was looking for a quiet place to rest and lick my wounds while preparing for the next phase of our lives. i thought we were booking a little, isolated nook. i could not have been more wrong! life here is very communal and lively. after a few days, we could not resist joining in the fun and wow, did it help us heal. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">we were even adopted by one of the cats, who now sleeps and purrs in our room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">this is a true oasis in the middle of the desert. the place attracts a flowing community of residents including artists, musicians, film-makers, travelers, and seekers of all types.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">barb and ed are so wonderful that residents become friends and friends become family, returning time and time again to this magical place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the kitchen is, of course, the heart of the house. the antique gas stove, irridescent teapot, and enormous spice collection are bathed in light from the many windows... my favorite tchotchke in here is the little teapot with rising steam on the window frame.</span><br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Carli and Dakota were young, wild, and crazy in love when they eloped in Las Vegas more than 10 years ago. When we offered them the chance to showcase that wild crazy spirit and live out their ultimate wedding fantasy this past July, they were over the moon. The La Cueva Stone Cabin at the base of the Sandia Mountains in Albuquerque, NM served as the perfect setting for what turned out to be a pretty magical celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Moore. Every little detail, from the crystals and candles, adorning the tables all the way down to the bride and grooms' tattooed wedding bands, made for a beautiful showcase of Carli and Dakota's love story. As the sun started to set and the Stevie Nicks' tunes played out over the speakers, everyone was captivated by how the enchanting scene really captured the true essence of this couple, a blend of romance and bohemian gypsy soul with just a touch of rock 'n roll!</span></span></blockquote>

<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">To say I am humbled is an understatement. Through her work, Anne has positively impacted hundreds, if not thousands of kids who went through the Brockton School System in a very real way. As one of the city's first female elected officials, she was (and remains) a role model for every woman in the city of Brockton. As interim director of the cit</span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">y's Council on Aging, she enriched the lives of countless seniors.</span></span></span></span><br />

A five-member screening committee (selected by COA Chairman Ralph Tamalonis) was to select one candidate to recommend to the COA board of directors at a Monday morning meeting. The board would then vote to accept or reject the recommendation. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">While attending a COA volunteer luncheon the week prior, Anne received (unsolicited) advance word that she was NOT to be recommended for the post. Instead, the committee was recommending the husband of a city councilwoman. As news spread through the room, the seniors became enraged and more than half walked out in protest. Because they all loved my mother!</span></blockquote>

Since Anne has been here, we feel we have a senior center that is ours, to come and socialize, to be informed on different issues that affect our lives, to be heard and included in some decisions. Since Anne can give all of this to us in such a very short time, we want her for our director. Don't give us a taste of something real good and then take it away from us to go back to the old ways."</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">An emergency COA meeting was called for the next evening. At least 60 seniors showed up to speak to the board, charging that a politically-connected person was being maneuvered into the position, possibly by COA Chairman Ralph Tamolonis! Some said the candidate was promised the job even before former director retired. The board suggested that they would not accept this candidate, and the whole group decided to attend the Monday morning meeting, <i>en masse</i>, to keep an eye on things.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Ralph Tamolonis was <i>extremely surprised</i> to see 100 elders show up to the Monday morning board meeting.

<h2>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">A Woman's Ticket to Freedom</span></h2>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anne's main focus was equal rights for women. </span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Her strategy for rising above the limitations of gender was to use ALL resources at her disposal, mainly education, fashion, and the arts. And her mission was to make sure ALL children had access to these resources.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Education</span></h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anne sees education as the great equalizer, enabling anyone to rise above the limitations of gender or economic status. Education remains a fundamental right.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">She signed us up for music and ballet lessons, always classical. She taught us that you must have an understanding of fundamental rules and techniques before you could cleverly break them. We learned how to sew and cook at a very young age and did these things all throughout our childhoods.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Where she saw inequality in the curriculum, she took action to correct it. She served in the PTA and was elected twice to the school committee, speaking frequently about gender issues. She was not fooling around. She was not asking permission.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Fashion</span></h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Fashion was a very important tool for my mother. She would save for months and then take us with her to the Rendezvous Boutique to pick out a beautiful wool suit or a silk blouse (ALWAYS natural fibers). She taught me that a well-tailored suit elicited respect and trust. </span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Her suits all had skirts and she would wear a beautiful, feminine blouse with them. She wrote these items off as business expenses on her taxes, which was common for men at that time (not sure if you can still do this). I remember feeling that this was a rare validation by the powers-that-be of women in the workplace. </span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">She made a lot of her own clothes, including her wedding dress, and she made most of our clothes, especially when we were very little. They were beautiful. She was very proud of this and taught us to say, "thank you, my mother made it" to every compliment on our outfits.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">All of this taught me that woman don't have to try to look like men or be like men to be successful. Woman are capable of anything AS WOMEN. And womanly things are valuable and worthy of being elevated.</span></span><br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">The Arts</span></h3>
<div>Because the arts were considered to be a feminine realm at that time, there was great opportunity for leadership, upward mobility, and facilitating positive change. </div>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><br /></span></span>
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Anne recognized this and jumped right in, first as a member of the cultural affairs committee for the city, and later as director. Hundreds of artists, performers, musicians, chefs, and service people, the majority of whom were women, also reaped the benefits of Anne's leadership, finding a venue for their arts and services within their own communities. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the plants have done well and now we've got to figure out what we're going to do with all that amazing lavender and when we're supposed to pick it. </span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">closed buds retain color and fragrance longer than open flowers;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">essential oil accumulation is at its maximum and quality at its peak when all the buds have opened and a small number of them have begun to wither;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">opened flowers are more likely than buds to fall off during the drying process;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">bees and butterflies need open flowers;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">cutting after flowering encourages a second bloom (not 100% sure about this one). </span></li>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">if you're going to dry the stalks and leave them as is, harvest early in the season, when one quarter to one half of the buds have opened. this way, most of the buds will stay on the stalk and the color and fragrance will be preserved.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">if you wish to extract the oil, the lavender should be harvested late in the season when all of the flowers have opened and a small percentage of them have started to wither. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">i'm going to wait until the end of the season for three reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">i will be using my lavender to make infused oil, so the flowers should be at maximum essential oil content and quality; </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the bees should have access to the flowers for as long as possible;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">i hope for another harvest this season. apparently, cutting them after the first flowering has finished encourages a second bloom. we shall see!</span></li>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">how to pick</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">if the plant has not been in the ground for a year, leave it alone so it can become established. From <a href="https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/lavender/pruning-lavender.htm" target="_blank">gardeningknowhow's awesomely informative website:</a></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You’ll start trimming lavender in the second year that it is in the ground. Newly planted or very young plants need a chance to establish themselves, and in order to do this, they need to be able to focus on growing roots. If you cut back lavender in its first year, it will put energy towards growing leaves rather than roots and this will make it a weaker plant in the long term.</span></span></blockquote>

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">pick during dry weather, early in the day (after the dew has dried);</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">take a single stem or grab a small bundle of stems and cut a few inches above the woody growth;</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">wrap a rubber band around the bottom of the bunch;</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">hang the bunch upside down on a hook in a dark, dry place.<span style="background-color: white;"> i usually put a tray or a large platter underneath to catch any dropped blossoms. let the lavender dry for at least a week until all of the stems and flowers are completely dry. check the center of the bunch to make sure.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">you can then use the stalks as is for your project, or shake/brush the blossoms and leaves into an airtight jar. cover tightly. store in a cool, dry place. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">i keep mine in a chest freezer with just about everything else (essential oils, carrier oils, aloe chunks, pine sap, whatever other crazy thing i've got in there...). i have it set on the warmest setting (just cold enough to freeze water, i believe, rather than a "deep freeze"), and it keeps everything really fresh. i love it and highly recommend it.</span></span></span><br />
