Between 100 and 150, see list }} A 'rose' is a perennial flower shrub or vine of
the genus 'Rosa', within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species.
The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with
stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Most are native to Asia, with
smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest
Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and
fragrance. [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/509710/rose]
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-
shaped leaflets. The plants fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose
plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20
metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize,
which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed from Oscan from colonial Greek in
southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdā, from
Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda,
Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).[http://www.rose-

Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has
been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is
widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made
into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high
Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup.
Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin
products and some makeup products.

Treating Dry Hair With Natural OilsKeeping your hair moisturized is critical! When it comes to women of color, especially Black or Biracial women, hair tends to be naturally dry and sometimes brittle. Dry hair leads to breakage from the hair shaft. Split ends are a result of dry and damaged hair cells.

Before you begin to moisturize and restore vital oils for your hair, you need to avoid or take a break from chemical relaxers. I know that this seems somewhat impossible for some women, but know that there are some styles that you can consider while you are transitioning. Many women that set out to just take a breather from relaxers end up going natural.

Consider wearing the wavy look that you can achieve by just washing and thoroughly condition and allowing your hair to air dry. While your hair is still wet, you can take your fingers and swish your hair all over, adding essential oils. Trim your ends to rid split ends that only lead to more brittle hair.

If your diet is poor, invest in a good multivitamin to restore vital minerals and nutrients. To retain moisture in your hair, add moisture to your diet by drinking lots of water. Keep these tips in mind, use natural oils, and watch your hair begin to shine because of it.
Positive Thinking Eliminates FailureThat's a pretty bold statement, you may be thinking. After all, isn't failure just a normal part of life? How could "feel good" positive thinking get rid of failure?
First of all, positive thinking is much more than a set of CD's or books from a popular "think nice thoughts" guru. It's a consciously-chosen way of life.
Is your glass half full or half empty? How you view every situation will determine your course of action throughout your life. While it's not healthy to continually look at the world through rose-colored glasses, it's not a good idea to walk around with storm clouds hanging over your head, either.
I'm not advocating the ostrich's stick-your-head-in-the-sand approach. Our problems usually don't go away if we just ignore them. We have to take the initiative to find a solution, a way through the difficulties we face.
Secondly, there are no failures in life, only opportunities to grow. Facing and overcoming a difficulty will make you a better person. It's not an easy formula, but it's simple. It's not complicated. Look at your situation with the goal of finding a solution. Wallowing in the "Why me?" swamp of self-pity will get you nowhere.
I've often been accused of being a Pollyanna, and I take that as a compliment. If you haven't seen the Walt Disney movie, "Pollyanna," you need to look for it on your next trip to the video store or add it to your Netflix list. This cheerful, courageous girl was taught by her very wise father to look for the good in life. He called it "the Glad Game." For instance, if you dread Monday mornings, you can be glad that it's a whole seven days in between them!
One hot summer night, I had to spend the night in a van at a truck stop with my husband and two young children, as the tow truck couldn't arrive until morning to take our broken-down vehicle to the nearest service station. Though it was hot and humid, we managed to fall asleep sometime in the night. In the morning, as my companions began to grumpily complain about their uncomfortable evening, I exclaimed brightly, "You know what? There are NO mosquitoes here!"
The groans I received in response to my observation were typical. Pollyannas tend to unintentionally irritate negative people. But I love a quote I came across recently: "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." (Herm Albright 1876-1944)
Think about it: Would it really make you feel better to complain about your circumstances, or would you rather take a positive attitude of "It's worth a try!" and plow forward with some course of action that just might improve your situation?
While you're mulling over your bleak circumstances, what you must focus on is the fact that what's out there (the situation) is not nearly as important as what's inside you. If you entertain negative thoughts, the outlook can become completely hopeless. Your inner voice uses phrases like, "I'll never..." and "I knew it wouldn't work" and "I've failed again."
Quick, switch channels! Pretend your mind is a radio and spin that tuner knob like crazy! Tune out the negative voice and tune in some positive thoughts.
I love the story of a psychiatrist who set out to determine the mindset of two average little boys. They were both put into a room full of horse manure. The first little boy simply sat down and began to wail hopelessly and helplessly. The second little boy, as soon as he was placed in the room, began digging through the manure with both hands as fast as he could go. This went on for quite awhile, to the amazement of the secretly watching psychiatrist. No longer able to contain his curiosity, the psychiatrist interrupted the little boy to ask him what he was doing. The boy responded cheerfully, "With all this manure, I know there's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"
When your life looks more like a room full of manure than the mansion you'd been hoping for, don't just sit down and drown in a sea of self-pity. Get up and start digging. There's got to be a pony in there somewhere!
Keep a positive outlook, no matter what life hands you, and you will succeed in reaching your goals and fulfilling your dreams.
