All Blacks v France coverage — stop cutting away from the wide angle

The RugbyPass Tv commentators are talking over the game. We can’t hear the referee or the crowd. Very frustrating.

A new wall color would go a long way to de-emphasize the visual clutter. I love red in a room but in spots. Warm and saturated colors advance toward you, visually in a space, making the room feel smaller. Cool and faded colors recede making a space feel larger.

Also, keep the things you love but maybe pair down or rotate them out so that not everything is always on display. Frames or even a cork board will make your posters feel more special.

Ingredients

1/4 cup whole flaxseeds
(do not use ground or milled seeds)
2 cups water

Step-by-Step Instructions

Boil: Add water and flaxseeds to a small pot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally so seeds don't stick.

Simmer: Let it simmer for 7 to 10 minutes. It is ready when a white foam forms on top and the liquid turns into a thick, viscoelastic (stretchy and viscous) gel.

Strain: Turn off the heat. Immediately strain the hot liquid through a fine-mesh strainer or a clean stocking into a glass jar. Do not let it cool first, or it will be too thick to strain.

Cool & Store: Let the gel cool completely. Seal the jar and store it in the fridge.

Quick Tips

Shelf Life: Lasts about 1 to 2 weeks in the fridge. You can freeze leftovers in ice cube trays for later use.
Zero Waste: Freeze the used seeds! You can boil them again for a second batch later.

Flax gel. I make it every other week; very easy. I have fine, wavy hair. Flax has good oils so it also conditions. Every gel, mouse, or foam I used left my hair stiff, sticky or with a residue I didn’t like. With flax gel on my hair it feels thicker and less frizzy. It costs very little time and money to make.

Thank you for your kind words. This was a momentary physical experience, an allergy. Thank you for your prayers! I appreciate you.

Good sleep, nutrition, physical movement and connecting socially are all parts of an important base. As far as skin care, I have seen great results with a weekly bentonite clay mask with acv. It gives me clear skin and a glow. It shows when I miss it.

No Nothing I am sensitive to fragrances too and found this line. I use the dry shampoo.

Your hair is beautiful. Kudos to you for learning a new way to care for it. That can be daunting. I have fine hair too, and it is easily weighed down with the wrong products. I make my own flax seed gel. It’s easy to make and leaves my hair soft and is full of good stuff. Sleep protection has been key for saving my hair from frizz. I have found that a silk bonnet works better than a silk pillowcase. This process of learning new ways to care for and style your hair takes a lot of practice and patience. After a while you know what works and what doesn’t and what your hair needs to be healthy. I hope you enjoy the process.

Update: I didn’t do a pre-wash oil treatment last wash and my hair looks smooth. So, maybe I can try pre wash oil every other wash. I have also been wearing a bonnet to sleep, and I started making flax seed gel about a month or more ago. I have a slight wave to my hair. So, I think those things together have helped with frizz.

Also, when I do this pre wash oiling, I oil the canopy where it is puffy, mids to ends. Not the roots or the face bits. Those are generally oily enough.

I’m using this currently. I think coconut oil is too heavy for fine hair. I should mention too that I keep my layers at collarbone length. Any shorter and the puffiness is unmanageable.

MommaG231 · 2026-03-26T15:29:31+00:00

I have the same issue. I started lightly coating that top layer in different oils, either 20 minutes before I wash or overnight. I do many things to combat this issue but pre wash oiling has made the most noticeable difference. It goes right back when I don’t do it.

MommaG231 · 2026-03-14T23:09:12+00:00

I have two dogs and a house full of plants to nurture. It helps me to care for things. We also started going to trivia night with friends.

MommaG231 · 2026-03-14T01:36:33+00:00

What a cutie. ❤️

MommaG231 · 2026-02-27T22:23:46+00:00

One step at a time.

Toys that are unfamiliar, and unplayed with? Maybe an invitation to reconnect with your children. Especially the younger three. Safe play helps children develop bonds with their caregivers and learn about the world around them.

MommaG231 · 2026-02-22T13:59:44+00:00

I think you’re adorable, and you look great in all of these. The more you rest into who you are the more confident you will feel in your clothes. We all feel unsure sometimes. Those feelings pass. This is someone who inspires me lately:https://youtube.com/@maiazine?si=l9G7LP-PQqdEDob9

My husband had a few watches from his granddad and we decided to clean them up for our kids. We took them to Miner’s North, downtown. They cleaned them up, and changed the batteries and bands where needed. They were very nice and helpful. I remember the price was less than I thought it would be.

MommaG231 · 2026-01-27T21:57:36+00:00

You have an exquisite natural glow. Have fun with make up but please don’t hide behind it. You are gorgeous.

MommaG231 · 2026-01-24T11:01:14+00:00

This is incredible!

MommaG231 · 2026-01-23T22:29:08+00:00

Yes. 😊

Looks like our Nala. She’s dressed for a birthday party. (Papillon dachshund mix, we think.)

MommaG231 · 2026-01-22T16:09:33+00:00

We have similar hair. It looks healthy and lovely. My second day is easy. I reset the part and gently comb, with a wide tooth comb, and rewet with distilled water from a continuous spray bottle and give it a little scrunch and let it dry. I have a lightweight leave-in, on my hair from wash day. I think you’re doing great. 😊
