happy Hanukkah
Judea was part of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt until 200 BCE when King Antiochus III the Great of Syria defeated King Ptolemy V Epiphanes of Egypt at the Battle of Panium. Judea became at that moment part of the Seleucid Empire of Syria. King Antiochus III the Great wanting to conciliate his new Jewish subjects guaranteed their right to “live according to their ancestral customs” and to continue to practice their religion in the Temple of Jerusalem. However in 175 BCE, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the son of Antiochus III invaded Judea, ostensibly at the request of the sons of Tobias.[12] The Tobiads, who led the Hellenizing Jewish faction in Jerusalem, were expelled to Syria around 170 BCE when the high priest Onias and his pro-Egyptian faction wrested control from them. The exiled Tobiads lobbied Antiochus IV Epiphanes to recapture Jerusalem. As the ancient Jewish historian Flavius Josephus tells us “The king being thereto disposed beforehand, complied with them, and came upon the Jews with a great army, and took their city by force, and slew a great multitude of those that favored Ptolemy, and sent out his soldiers to plunder them without mercy. He also spoiled the temple, and put a stop to the constant practice of offering a daily sacrifice of expiation for three years and six months.”

Charlize Theron’s Buttery Blond
KEY COLOR NOTES “This is just such a bright sexy blond,” says colorist Denis De Souza, who works with celebrities like Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde and Rachel Bilson. “To make it work for fall, just be sure to amp up your makeup a bit. That way you won’t look washed out.” De Souza also points out that because the tone is slightly ashy, it’s best reserved for women with fair skin. “Otherwise you get too contrast-y,” he adds.

styling tips for long hair
Get long, cascading curls with high shine. First, wash and deep condition so you get a healthy, glossy shine. Dry hair with a round brush. Then use a large curling iron and, alternating two-inch sections, roll hair around the barrel in one direction and then again in the other direction to create a ripple effect. Once you’re done, spritz everything with an aerosol shine spray.
First, consider a few layers. “The longest styles look even longer right after a good cut that adds movement even if it takes off half an inch,” says NYC stylist. If you haven’t gotten to the stylist yet, use a curling iron and roll two- to three-inch sections halfway up the barrel. Spritz with hairspray and then pull the curls out so they turn into long, loose waves at the bottom.
To get perfect, tight curls sans frizz, you need a cut that supports your curl pattern. Make sure to tell your stylist that you wear your hair naturally so she can give you the cut you need. Make sure to deep-condition overnight so you get that extra dose of moisture coarse curls need. Run a thick leave-in conditioner and serum through your hair.

are you frustrated with damaged hair that nearly impossible to style?
Are you embarrassed to go out in public without wearing a hat? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then our tips for damaged hair will help you. Don’t worry, there’s no fluff here. These are proven effective tips for damaged hair that will help you regain your mane’s alluring body and radiant natural shine.
1) One of the main sources of hair damage is dryness. Without sufficient moisture, the hair shaft becomes brittle and easily broken or damaged. Talk to your stylist and make sure you’re using a top-quality shampoo and conditioner (you may want to ask if your stylist has any other tips for damaged hair).
In addition, leaving your conditioner in your hair for an additional 2-5 minutes will help provide the moisture your hair needs to help heal damaged hair. When moisturizing, pay special attention to the tips and ends of your hair.
2) Trade in your hairbrush for a wide-toothed comb to limit hair breakage.
Damaged hair is all too easily damaged further by rough styling. You should avoid rubber bands, headbands and hats as well — all are associated with increased hair damage.
