| Correct Usage of Air Bags
Air bags can be lifesaving, but if not used correctly, can cause serious harm. Safercar.gov has some air bag safety suggestions.
1. Leave 10 inches between you and the steering wheel to help prevent serious injury.
2. Tilt the steering wheel down so the air bag can deploy toward your chest, not your head.
3. Check the air bags’ on and off switch each time you enter the vehicle to make sure it is in the proper position. It should be turned on when adults ride in the front seat and turned off when a child is riding in the front seat.
4. Infants should never ride in the front seat with a passenger’s side air bag.
5. Children under the age of 12 should always sit in the back seat with a safety seat most appropriate for the child’s size and age.

The Kitchen
A Novel by Kathleen Grissom
Kathleen Grissom brings to life a thriving plantation in Virginia in the decades before the Civil War, where a dark secret threatens to expose the best and worst in everyone tied to the estate.
Orphaned during her passage from Ireland, young, white Lavinia arrives on the steps of the kitchen house and is placed, as an indentured servant, under the care of Belle, the master’s illegitimate slave daughter. Lavinia learns to cook, clean, and serve food, while guided by the quiet strength and love of her new family.
Over time, Lavinia is accepted into the world of the big house, caring for the master’s opium-addicted wife and befriending his dangerous yet protective son. She attempts to straddle the worlds of the kitchen and big house, but her skin color will forever set her apart from Belle and the other slaves.
Grissom’s novel unfolds in a heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful story of class, race, dignity, deep-buried secrets, and familial bonds.

Bone Health
Do’s and Don’t
There are many things you should do and shouldn’t do to protect your bones. Getting a daily dose of calcium is just a start. To staying strong, look a few things you can do daily.
1. Cut back on table salt but you can use sea salt instead
2. Eat organic fruits and vegetables. Potassium enriched fruits and vegetables are important healing foods. Look to eat oranges, bananas, avocados, spinach, and sweet potatoes.
3. Beans are high in calcium blocking phytates.

Experts suggest 5000 IU per day because that amount, according to the Vitamin D american association, lead by Dr John Carnell president of the association, that amount it's responsible to open 10% of our genes every single day.

| Surprising Reason for Sleep Disorders
We live in a high paced society. We are constantly on our phones, watching TV, checking email, playing games, surfing the Internet, or reading a book when we are supposed to be sleeping. This is the new sleep disorder. We have too many things going on. We tend to lose track of time and don’t pay attention to what time it is.
The key to good rest is to be sure to leave all your electronics outside of the bedroom. Make your bedroom an electronic free zone.
You should set an alarm 15 to 30 minutes before bedtime so you can unwind and get to bed on your normal schedule.

Dispelling Hair Care Myths
All too often we hear advice about our hair that may not be quite accurate. Today we’re going to dispel some hair care myths that you might not be too sure about, by providing scientific proof.
Myth #1: Plucking a single gray hair will allow two more to grow in its place. Hair grows in a single strand. Just because it has turned gray doesn’t mean it will suddenly start producing two hair follicles. If that were the case, all people with gray hair would have a wild and bushy head of hair. When you begin to see gray hairs showing up and you don’t want them, talk to your stylist about getting some highlights to blend those strands of gray into the rest of your hair color.
Myth #2: Grandma may have told you that brushing your hair 100 strokes a day will make it healthier, shinier, and grow faster because it stimulates the scalp. Sounds like good advice. And a good brushing can redistribute the natural oils in your hair adding to shine. However, brushing only temporarily works to improve the look of your hair. The biggest problem with vigorous brushing is that it stresses the hair, leading to breakage. This is even more true when it comes to brushing wet hair after you’ve applied a post-shampoo conditioner. Hair stretches when it is wet, sometimes to as much as an extra 10% of its length. When stretched, hair is weak and can break. A better approach is to detangle your hair before shampooing, then very gently detangle it out with a large tooth comb after it has been conditioned. If you want to stimulate your scalp, massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers. Using your nails can leave micro-scratches on your scalp.
Myth #3: Getting a regular trim makes your hair grow faster. This is absolutely a myth, because hair grows at the scalp. However, there is some truth in this myth. Hair grows on average one-half inch per month. Getting regular trims will not change how fast your hair actually grows. However, as your hair gets longer, the ends are older, have been exposed to the elements longer and been touched by coloring and hair styling tools more frequently. All these lead to potential split ends. Hair, when split at the end begins to split up the length of the shaft of hair leading to even more breakage. The best way to deal with that problem is to mend the ends with a very good treatment. Cutting it will not resolve the problem because the split ends can uppen threw out the length.
