A. You're kidding Noah Vonleh Jersey , right?

Let me ask that in a slightly different way:

You are kidding, right?

Unfortunately, I know you're not because you are not the first parent to ask me this.

I must ask you:

Are you ready to be grandparents? Are you ready to help raise, in your home, your new grandchild? Are you prepared to be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor andor sued?

The answer is an emphatic NO! I don't care what promises are made to you Mitchell Robinson Jersey , it's a horrible idea and invites disaster.

Teens Not Emotionally Ready for Sex

In addition to all the moral issues, teenagers are simply not emotionally prepared for sex. While their bodies and hormones are many times well prepared, their emotions are not.

And that goes for boys as well as girls.

Beauty Salon- It is so important for us to find the right beauty salon so that we can have the right look at the right time. However, there are certain things that beauty salon owners don't want you to know.

According to the September 13, 2005 issue of the LA Times, soon after Hurricane Katrina passed through the states of Louisiana Kevin Knox Jersey , Mississippi and Alabama, beauty salons with power and water reopened. Women who had lost EVERYTHING flocked to those open beauty salons. They wanted to look good even though they did not have a place to live. They wanted and needed professional hair care.


This fact alone confirms your intuition about the absolute necessity of finding the right beauty salon. This holds true for a beauty salon Los Angeles or a beauty salon Long Beach, Mississippi.


Let me give you some general guidelines and tips to use when you are looking for a new beauty salon. I will also include some helpful suggestions about how to deal with your hair stylist.


1. How far is the beauty salon from your home or work? Is it convenient to either or both?


2. Telephone the salon. Ask if their hair care stylists have experience with your type of hair. For example, is your hair long, curly Allonzo Trier Jersey , textured or exposed to frequent changes to hair color, heat and the elements?


3. Search the Internet for reviews of beauty salons in your work or home zip codes.


4. It seems obvious, but it's crucial: Who do you know whose hair looks fabulous? Ask them where (and to whom) they go.


5. When you get to the beauty salon what does the atmosphere FEEL like to you? Is it peaceful or stressful? Which do you prefer?


6. Are you greeted right away or are you forced to wander around or 鈥渢widdle your thumbs鈥?until someone attends to you?


7. If you've made an appointment is it kept and on time?


8. Is the beauty salon clean and well organized? Does everything seem to be in its place?


9. How is the staff dressed? Are they dressed appropriately to your taste?


10. What does the hair of the staff look like to you? Is the hair of the staff professionally done or is it sloppy?


Ok, you've decided that the beauty salon environment is satisfactory, now how do you deal with the hair stylist?


11. Collect and bring pictures that are appropriate for your type of hair. The biggest beauty salon hair disasters occur when your hair stylist doesn't understand what you want. Pictures help convey your message.


12. Don't immediately go for a cut Frank Ntilikina Jersey , take it slower. Book a blow-dry with your selected stylist. Ask, if you were to cut my hair, how would you do it? Once you've set aside the time for a real consultation, here are some key questions to ask yourself as you talk to your stylist:


鈥?DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE with the hair care stylist? You should like his or her sense of style. This means clothing, grooming Mario Hezonja Jersey , personality, everything.


鈥?IS THE STYLIST ASKING YOU questions, giving ideas and suggestions that relate to your personality, rather than pointing to a style on the wall or in a book?


鈥?IS THE HAIR CARE STYLIST ADDRESSING the health of your hair, not just proposing to cut off split ends? The two of you should be talking about conditioners and rinses that enhance shine and bounce Emmanuel Mudiay Jersey , and special treatments that can prevent or repair damage done by the environment, such as pollution, sun, chlorine, humidity DeAndre Jordan Jersey , or dry air.


鈥?ONCE YOU'VE AGREED ON A LOOK, does the stylist preview how you'll need to blow it dry, wash it, and maintain it? These are all things to think about before actually getting the cut.


If you can answer most of the questions to your satisfaction, then you've probably found a beauty salon and a hair stylist that will make you look fabulous. If you cannot Dennis Smith Jr. Jersey , then move on to the next beauty salon on your list.
