One of the best parts of this oil is that you can apply it in a few different ways. To use it as a scalp treatment, divide your hair into four parts, exposing the scalp. Then, massage a small amount of oil and comb through your ends. Be sure to leave the oil in (a.k.a. don’t rinse it out). For daily use, apply a small amount to your scalp and comb through your ends. Lastly, to smooth split ends, rub the oil into your ends, put on a processing cap for 10 minutes and then rinse and shampoo.

If you need even more persuading, we’ll leave it to this product’s passionate stans.

“Slowly but surely helps with hair growth!” wrote one five-star shopper. “Been noticing so many more baby hairs and my wide hair part is looking so much better. I put it on either on my scalp right before I hit the gym so it’s in my hair longer before a shower or I put it on for 15 minutes all over my scalp down to my ends before a shower.”

Did we mention this game-changing formula is suitable for all hair types, especially types 3A to 4C, chemically-treated hair, braids and waves? This is your green light to purchase it ASAP.

“This product works. I had thinning areas where I could see my scalp. I am now on my third bottle. I could see a difference within a couple of weeks,” another reviewer wrote.

Give your scalp and hair a complete makeover with the Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil. It should be a total no-brainer for you, since it’ll only ring you up for $8.60 at Amazon. Add it to your cart and prepare yourself for healthy, smooth, shiny strands.

I find pure joy when I’m about to embark on an exciting bucket list adventure that scares the daylights out of me – travelling to a foreign country for one month. Alone. Not knowing the language.

It is shameful that I have reached the mature age of 72 without being able to speak a second language! Yes, I enrolled in classes in high school and fulfilled the language requirements in college, but could never converse beyond, Hello, my name is Tamera. How are you today?

So, I bit the bullet and enrolled in a four-week language program in Valencia, Spain. 

A Bucket List Travel Adventure

Spain has been on my bucket list. Valencia should be heavenly in January (compared to New England). It is a walkable city. I can travel weekends to Barcelona – high on my bucket list – and Seville or wherever it is warm.

Room and board in the language schools is very affordable. During the winter, I have a good chance of meeting others my age since summers are for the young on school vacations. Low season means no lines for the museums and historical sites.

Theoretically, it is a perfect trip!

A Few Butterflies

As my departure date gets closer, reality is nerve wracking.

Although I have travelled a great deal, it has usually been in an organized group. Fellow travellers. Comfort in numbers. Or within an English-speaking country where I can easily read signs and ask questions.

But never longer than two weeks.

I know all the rational arguments: many people will be able to speak English; locals will appreciate my efforts to speak their language. Map and travel guide in hand, I will be able to find my way. Millions of people have been travelling like this forever! I will learn.

It doesn’t make me any less anxious.

What Can I Possibly Be Afraid of?

I am going to school in a beautiful, historic city – almost like going away to college. And my fears, 50+ years later, are almost the same as that summer before my freshman year.

Will I make new friends? Will I eat dinner alone every night? Will this trip be as magical as I want it to be?

I lasted only one semester when I went away to college. I was too lonely and too homesick. I did not make new friends. I went home and finished my studies while living with my folks. The next time I moved away was after I married and moved halfway across the country.

About 40 years later when I was divorced, I stayed in the same New England town with my friends and job. This trip to Spain is my second truly solo venture – the first in 50 years!

I need to make this trip. I need to prove some things to myself:

I can depend on myself. I am not too old to learn a language. Solo travel is exciting and comfortable. Dreams can come true at any age.

If I cancel the trip, I will be terribly disappointed in myself. I don’t want to live with that feeling. So, I will push forward. Camera and journal in hand to document my experience. Fully loaded Kindle for those times I need to be by myself. Hola, Spain!

Don’t think about it, just give me your first reaction when you read, “How do you feel about money?” Feel is the important word!

Do you feel scared, remorseful, angry, sad, or hurt? Or perhaps you feel elated, joyful, proud, appreciative, or giving? At a given point in time, you may have felt each one of those. What is behind our feelings about money and, as a result, how do those feelings affect us and the choices we make? Our feelings about money were developed very early in our lives.

Start at the Beginning

You may have been brought up in a family where there was never enough money. It was a struggle to put food on the table, buy clothes and shoes, pay for rent or the mortgage, and keep the electricity on. Even if this was not your situation, maybe your family lived paycheck to paycheck or they were reliant on income from a fluctuating source – the price for crops or the demand for construction, for example.

Imagine how it felt or how it would make you feel about money. Your feelings in this case might be derived from scarcity or insecurity. You might feel scared or sad. If the scarcity was derived from choices made by someone in your family, you might feel angry or hurt.

On the other hand, you may have been brought up in a family who could not only pay for necessities, but you had plenty of spending money for things you wanted. How fun was that! Your family could afford many extras like trips, nice cars, a big house, the latest fashion in clothes, and lots of toys, toys, toys.

How did you feel? Maybe you appreciated your lifestyle or maybe you did not think about it at all. It was normal for you and your friends. Your feelings about money were grounded in security and abundance. You may have been content, appreciative, or wishful for even more.

My family was in neither of the above categories. We had enough to cover our needs and some of our wants. My parents’ priorities were tithing – to give to others in dire need – and saving – to pay off the mortgage and for education for their children.

After our needs were covered and money was put aside for saving, there was usually some left to buy a new dress now and then or to go out to eat occasionally or on a family vacation every few years.

We all started our adult lives with perceptions and feelings about money from our childhood, but what happened then?

What Were Your Choices?

As adults, we make decisions for ourselves. Sometimes we carry the same childhood feelings about money with us and sometimes we make a conscious or unconscious decision to change.

For example, if you grew up in a family with security and abundance, it is more likely that you pursued a college degree and continued the cycle of security and abundance with your own family. If you grew up in a family that placed a high value on philanthropy, it is likely that you continued to place a high value on giving to others.

How about those who grew up in scarcity and insecurity? Or perhaps your choices as an adult placed you in that position? If you chose to become a nurse, a teacher, or a musician, for example, it is likely that you and your family faced difficult money decisions. Overcoming the insecurity and scarcity might have meant the need for two incomes or two jobs or cutting out all but the necessities of living.

There are also situations beyond our control that change our feelings about money. Perhaps you or someone in your household was laid off from their job or you or your business went through a bankruptcy.

Divorce can dramatically change money situations and feelings about money. I was “downsized” out of a job in the banking industry during a merger and know that my family went from a feeling of money comfort to money carefulness. Likewise, when I divorced.

I grew up with a desire to have a lifestyle that only covered my needs, but also allowed me more wants than in my childhood.

My former husband and I raised our two boys in comfort. We had two incomes from well-paying jobs (other than the brief time I mentioned above), we built a nice home, owned two cars, took great vacations, and had plenty of money to cover not only our needs but also many, many wants.

We were blessed! We gave to others but because we came from families that were good savers, we also saved. I am thankful and believe that my sons are appreciative and proud of the life that we were able to provide them.

Will You Make Changes?

As we start a new year, it is a good time to think about your feelings about money. Do you need to change your perceptions and make some changes? Especially if you and your spouse or partner came from different childhood experiences, it is important to talk about them.

Not only will it raise your consciousness, but it may also give you the opportunity to make better decisions about money going forward.

Thanks, and happy new year!
