I put my pole in the kitchen 🙂

A light ash brown should nutralize the red. I’d wait at least 72 hours before coloring your hair again so you don’t damage it.

Let it fade out as much as possible, I recently made the mistake of thinking I would go blonde from red.. 5 inches less of hair later I wish I didn’t get that not so great idea and I wonder what I was thinking.
I would let it fade, used a 30 level developer with a heavy ash based blonde. No ultra blue, nothing like that. I would of worn a baseball hat for 90 days then did the above.
Old school prel shampoo strips color out of hair I’ve done removers and lived to regret that idea too.
Good luck and may you have lush, lighter locks minus super damage 🙂

Being vegan it is extra important for you to consume the proper amounts of nutrients. If anything you should be a pro at this supplementing since you do not eat any meat or animal based product.
But your disappointment won’t be with these ladies it will be with yourself when you do not build the muscle needed for this sport.
There are vegan friendly suppliments
p.s when I typed gnu I meant gnc, gnu is open source software not a suppliment store.

I agree with the professional idea completely, except not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford a professional.
Once people start getting into DHEA, CLA and stuff like that its best they consulate with their personal physician.
I honestly don’t think omega 3’s, glucosamine and multi-vitamins will harm the average person, there are more side effects from most common anti-depressants than supplements.

I take supplements, but I’ve also researched, the supplements I take. Glucosamine is one of the best supplements I’ve taken period while poling. I take a daily multi-vitamin for women additional iron once a month helps me as well. Our food is so genetically modified that it doesn’t give the quality nutrition it did even 10 years ago. The cost of organic food is too expensive for most people and even then it’s been subject to Monsanto through pollination. Toning will happen naturally from poling even one day a week, just be patient and listen to your body, if you crave proteins go to gnu and get the shakes they are wonderful.

Day 12 here.. Wow, I didn't take Veena's advice and do Rejuvenation days at first now, sometimes I do two rejuvenation days. I found a good rest period allows me to have an awesome pole day, I got my very first cross knee release ever after a 48 hour break.
There are days I just freestyle and enjoy myself and then there are days I work out with Veena doing her strength training, other days I do Aletha Austin's stretching for pole, I mix it up, I'm not worried about the 30 days, I'm in no hurry, I do not want to get permanently injured.
My Internet research made me realize we aren't training much different than body builders, I added glucosamine, Omegas, Multi-vitamin and an extra iron supplement to my daily morning ritual on top on Advil and I drink a protein shake after poling.
don't forget to feed those muscles 🙂
No matter how many rest days, my body is still telling me and letting me know I'm working out, there are days I'm stiff and the michigan weather doesn't help much.

Recently I've been into the cure and type-o negative again, I use slacker radio instead of pandora for music inspiration. You can type in an artist and then they also play stuff like that from different artists, it's way better than pandora.

Also make sure you don't get a fake x-pole! Make sure, you are buying from a licensed x-pole retailer. I went with the expert, I love spinning mode, I make myself put it on static for training. Everything is harder to do on static in my opinion.

We could have said something about that lady, but nobody wants to go through a corporate investigation on top of possibly retaliation. I always feel karma will handle it.
As the webmaster said ” people do not change”. Instead of some jail time for theft, I won’t be surprised when this particular person ends up in prison for embezzlement.
I don’t think loser is the proper word for remembering specific personality traits and keeping a good distance away from said “thief”, “drama queen” or any other trait deemed harmful to ones employment.
In life outside of work.. people like that get the smile/head nod I’m not getting paid to put up with that crap.

My day was great, but I didn't have to deal with the rest of humanity ðŸ˜
I completely relate to what you are saying, it seems like there are two standards, for good people and for jerks.
Example: A lady I worked with from NOLA, huge thief, totally selfish and complete biznatch went from an entry level position to running her own station. She's some kind of success story, but for those of us who knew her and how unethical she was its like a slap in the face. If this lady wasn't a thief and a liar, I would of been super happy for her but, it disgusts me to hear her name in a positive light because she should of been straight up fired and put in jail. In a club this chick would of been beaten and fired, not promoted.
My flight or flee is pretty intense too, I hate confrontation and I do everything I can to avoid it by being diplomatic and professional, and it always takes me a day or so to come off that kind of adrenalin rush.

The only time mine gets grumpy is due to being sore, touching the insides of my legs is like setting me on fire at times.
For the first 20 or so days of the pole at home, he complains that he can’t touch me;
My man as I’ve come to understand he is a feeder, he brings home food as treats, if I wouldn’t of banned fast food entirely, I would still be gettting the surprise Big Mac meal @1:00am..
Sometimes it takes going extreme, to make a guy understand. The last Big Mac meal ended up in the toilet and me with almost every blood vessel blown in my face. That was the last time fat @ss nasty fast food has been bought for me and I am 15lbs lighter since January. On the other hand the scales haven’t tipped for him at all.. not my problem.
If he gave me crap about poling, I think I would lose my freaking mind.
I would probably use all of my self loathing and turn it completely on him, pole is the only thing that has given me any hope of being healthy again living with a feeder.
I can’t stand NASCAR, I truest don’t find amusement in during in a circle. I also like things with a bit more speed; like Jet engines.. ✈
What is this guilt trip stuff!! Seriously is working, cleaning, cooking and taking care of children not enough super woman for these guys?
I’d ignore the complaining, too bad you can’t touch me ” put the chocolate bar up your own large booty so it doesn’t go to mine” and we wouldn’t have me working out 4-5 days a week.
I mean really.. They say they ignore us when we are complaining, time to give them a taste of their own medicine.. I’m gonna go buy him a Big Mac meal 😈

What happened? Who decided to talk crap about someone trying to do well?

Emotioncatcher is seriously inspirational and the sweetest person I’ve talked to in a long time.

I use this app called nexercise, it gives you points for working out , 2000 points equal 1 amazon dollar. I found alethas stretch for pole used, I got it with my workout points used for $21.00 shipping included. I just save up my points, another good app is called viggle, check into a t.v show or news, whatever is on t.v it picks up from the audio 10,000 points equals a $5.00 CVS gift card, I saved up and had $25 in CVS gift cards that's how I bought my new nail polish. In this economy, money is tight no matter what and for the luxury items I've had to get creative. Ill post a review of it and thanks for the heads up on the other videos.

I've been the only girl 28 guys to 1 chick for two years now. I have found some things that helped me survive the jealous guys, guys who are nice until they realize I'm not single. What you are saying "I literally feel your pain".
Don't try to be one of the guys, if something bad happens (sexual harassment) if you even swear like a guy, the old boys club uses it like "she had a skirt on she was asking for it" kind of mentality.
Being the "Token" girl, once you prove you can do e job and so it well that crap goes out the window and you will get treated pretty much equally.
It takes about 3 months to gel with a group of guys, expect the same weirdness from new guys.
minimal makeup and do your hair, it's odd have fun with this one, I found I was taken the most seriously with minimal make up and my hair done, not just wearing a baseball cap.
if things get crappy, the corporate route is to document all instances of harassment and bullying. Keep a journal write your day in it and exactly what happened. This will help if you must take your concerns to Management.
Use your foot to kick the seat down. Let them touch the nasty seat 🙂
I have read a lot of your posts, you seem, like an amazingly strong, resilient woman and it would take a lot to rattle your cage, I honestly believe you'll be fine once the initial little boy hazing period is over where they are weird to you. Give it time like any new job it takes awhile to become like a piece of furniture 🙂

These things seem to help with my soreness, which is 24/7 since 4/6/13
Omega 3's for inflammation
Glucosamine for joint lubrication
Epsom salt baths
Icy-Hot & Ice Packs
Suemaz Polesilks said stretch.
Drink lots of water too, dehydration causes muscle soreness and do the rejuvination days like Veena says, I was stupid and didn't lost 5 days to recover from over use of my deltoids.

Webcams have wide angle lenses to capture the whole room, which makes anyone look thicker than they are, its like a fun house mirror effect.
Its even worse when my BFF is a 90lb Korean girl who can do pole tricks like a pro, just standing next to her makes me feel like http://youtu.be/BYAKoo8d9K8 and that girl is better on the pole than I am.
I Have been through this, since I got my pole; beating myself up and hating on myself. It's totally not worth it, but for some reason hating on myself is better than rationalizing how i ever let myself go this badly.
We all have our own personal standards for ourselves, but it does get better, I promise that and my videos from day 1 to day 22 are encouragement enough to keep going and now, I am no longer aiming for what I used to look like, I am aiming for better than I used to look like.
I also stopped comparing myself to my BFF or anyone else it's disheartening and demotivational. though I still feel like lulu at times, not as often and eventually never again.

I don't know about the Mr.Clean bald look, but I would go to cancer survivor websites and see how ladies who really have lost their locks pull off "bald". I guess it will all be in the way you do your make-up and how confident you are with the new look.

If all else fails buy a lace front wig while you grow it out, that is what Beyonce and tons of other ladies wear all the time.

Good Luck and Congratulations on going all out for an important cause.

In response to that video:
wow, that girl hates herself, 1:08 seconds into the video my boyfriend who is black, is saying "wait till she's pulled over by the police, then she can go on about how she isn't black". We live in Detroit and I never thought getting stopped because one is black was real until I witnessed it for myself.
This chick reminds me of a girl I worked with who was a black girl from LA, just as stuck up and self loathing, she actually let a white guy put plastic wrap over her vag when he went down on her and she thought that was ok ..and what white guys did. 1:38 (completely disgusted with this chick by this point in the video don't know if I can take much more of her).
There have been many scientific studies on light/dark skin thing and thanks to marketing and mainstream media these ideas that light skin is better than dark skin will continue to exist. It's hard to see a guy whom most would consider a darker guy say dark skinned girls are busted. 2:35
8:56, Still more lemmings believing what they are being fed by the media, defined by what they look like or what they think they should look like, or act like and are trying to say a caste system is still practiced and they still practice racism based on caste.
I hope their parents watched this video.
