Peace lies not in the world... but in the man who walks the path.
The fire crackles and sparks as kindling catches and flames dance inside the firebox. An early riser, Moonwatcher's keen for a quick getaway. and, a After raking the dying embers and cinders, he has relit the stove. The fire crackles and sparks as kindling catches and flames dance inside the firebox. Closing the stove door he heads over to the deep ceramic sink to wash up. The ache in his legs from yesterday's long haul competes with a dull throb in his head and he's glad he didn't stay later at the club last night.
Closing the stove door he heads over to the deep ceramic sink to wash up. Forgoing a shave in cold water, he dons his clothes, dry now and still warm from hanging over the range all night.
Ready for the road, he picks up his gear and, after a last backward glance at the kitchen, walks quietly past a door from behind which he can hear the sound of snoring. Pausing at the tiny office, he picks up from the table the membership card bearing his name from the table, and checks it's been stamped before sliding it into a side pocket of his saddlebag. The rubber stamp depicts a bicycle with the name Wanlockhead and the height in feet above sea level. He's particularly pleased with it. Of his own design, he had it made and donated it to Mrs Young a couple of years ago. It immediately became the official stamp of the hostel. He opens the door and narrows his eyes as he steps out into the bright morning sunlight.
In the cycle shed, he has to move some of the bikes belonging to last night's late arrivals before he can gain access to his own. He wheels it out into the garden and starts to check it over before securing his bag. He gives particular attention to the brakes. The first part of his journey involves the rapid descent of the Mennock Pass, the twisting, hell-for-leather drop out of the village down towards sea level.
He walks the bike down through the deserted village, enjoying the crisp clear air and early morning birdsong; the steady clicking of the bike's freewheel, the only man-made intrusion. Walking helps get the stiffness out of his legs, and by the time he reaches the Wanlockhead signpost at the south end of the village, he's ready to ride. The bike is heavy. He has ridden the Mennock before, but never with so much baggage: two heavy panniers over the back wheels, a bulky saddlebag on top, and various other bits of kit taped or strapped to the frame. He knows she'll be difficult to handle on the bends.
As he mounts and checks the brake levers, his stomach gives way to a churning sensation. begins to churn. Nerves, lack of breakfast, or perhaps both. Slipping his toe into the pedal clip he pushes off and cycles slowly along the road.
The bicycle picks up speed as gravity pulls it down the steepening incline. Pedalling stops, and the rider adopts a head down position over the dropped handlebars; all attention focussed on controlling the machine as the freewheel whirrs hysterically. The hills close in as rider and machine are drawn faster and faster into the chasm.
The Mennock consists of a series of very steep, sharp bends linked by equally steep straight stretches, on which a bicycle can build up tremendous speed. Hurtling down the straights is exhilarating, but, at the end of each, there are the bends to contend with and they test the 'bottle' of the most experienced cyclist.
The first bend comes up fast, and first pressure is applied to the brake levers. Nothing happens! The combined weight and speed of the bike prove to be too much. Full pressure, and the rubber brake blocks squeal like banshees as they are forced against the steel rims of the wheels, friction burning off the rubber and causing the whole bike to judder as the rider leans it into the sharp curve.
For the few seconds available to prepare for the next bend, the speed is excessive. No time to think now. Pure instinct, experience, skill and luck. The wind whips through his hair and rushes past his ears, his heart is pounding, his knuckles white on brake levers squeezed tight against the handlebars.The bike takes the bend but runs wide, crossing over on to the wrong side, spraying up loose gravel along the road's edge. Moonwatcher feels the tyres lose traction for a moment; feels a lead weight hit the base of his stomach. Adrenaline surges through his system as he gets the bike on an even keel, then hammers it into the next straight stretch.
As bike and rider streak down the pass at break-neck speed, stray thoughts enter his mind. Sinister little thoughts. Thoughts that must immediately be banished from whence they came, lest they take control and initiate a panic with possible tragic consequences. Thoughts like 'What if the front tyre punctures?' or 'What if a brake cable snaps, the freewheel seizes, a wheel buckles, or ...'
The sheep sitting in the middle of the road, as the bike sweeps out of a blind curve, shows not the least concern as it chomps grass and stares defiantly at the oncoming projectile. Moonwatcher narrowly avoids a head on collision, which would have made a deep impression on its mind, to say nothing of his own. The animal remains in exactly the same position, even after the left pannier bag brushes a horn. The bike remains intact, all it's its components working in harmony. As it shoots out of the final bend a loud 'Yeeehah!' echoes through the pass.
He halts a short distance after the final bend, pats the handlebars appreciatively, and blows out a long whistling breath as he sits astride the machine. A few minutes pass before he dismounts. Long enough for his pulse to settle down and his right knee to stop trembling.
Wheeling the bike onto the verge, he lays it down gently on its side, kneels down and examines the brake blocks. The wear caused by the descent is obvious. Standing up, he looks back up the pass, and begins to walk towards the bend from which he has just emerged.
The peace and beauty of the Mennock is awesome on this lovely summer morning. The recent thrill of danger serving serves to heighten his senses, and his appreciation of the scene. After the wind and rain of the previous day, this one promises to be warm and sunny. The sky is blue, and the air is warming as the sun climbs higher. High above him, a large bird of prey circles. Probably a buzzard. Sheep baa in the distance, and he smiles as he thinks of the one he met on the way down.
At the foot of the slope he starts to scan the far side verge. A small burn gurgles between the edge of the road and his point of interest. Near the bend, he spots what he's looking for, and steps off the road, over the burn, and on to the verge.
There on the grass lies the shape of a cross. Though marked by out in stones, it is overlooked by most travellers. The stones - none bigger than a large grapefruit - have been gathered from the surrounding area, and placed in two intersecting lines on the ground. The cross has been there for as long as folk can remember.
Stories as to its purpose vary, but the most enduring tells that it was placed as a memorial to a district nurse, who came down the Mennock on her bike many years previously. On a mission of mercy, one would like to think. The story goes that she failed to take the final bend, was thrown from her bike, and died at this spot. Whatever the truth, the simple stone symbol endures.
Moonwatcher retrieves his bike and returns to the spot, setting sets up his camp stove by the cross, and preparing prepares a 'drum-up'. A tin mug, filled with water from the burn, is soon steaming on the wee stove. With the addition of a spoonful of coffee and some powdered milk, it is transformed into a welcome brew. A chunk of cheese, crudely cut with a Swiss army knife and slotted between two slices of dry white bread, completes the open air breakfast.
As he sits, cross legged, chewing, and sipping from the hot mug, he admires the scene before him, the valley of the Mennock, and feels utter contentment.
On such a perfect day the miles quickly disappear beneath the wheels, as he heads west along the valley of the Nith, on the road to Ayr. Short sleeved in the warm sun, it's good to be free of the waterproofs. The oilskin cape is rolled up and relegated to the top of the saddlebag.
A brief stop at Sanquhar (pronounced Sanker) aquaints him with some of the history of the village. Boasting the oldest Post Office in Britain, dating back to 1712, Sanquhar was also the scene of the 'Declaration of Sanquhar'. As he stands at the Old Tolbooth, his bike propped against its weathered stone for a photograph, Moonwatcher contemplates reflects on the events that occurred here nearly 300 years earlier.
Here in 1680, schoolteacher Richard Cameron raised a rebellion against King Charles II. With a small band of armed men he 'declared war' on the king. Fuelled by the political and religious fervour of the time, Cameron's men had close ties with the Covenanters, Presbyterian radicals who had been fighting their own cause for years. Whatever the rights or wrongs of the situation, it led to what was to become became known as 'The Killing Years', with the rebels persecuted and their supporters hunted down, shot, hanged, drowned or imprisoned. Ultimately, though he himself was killed, Cameron's men would become the 'Cameronians', one of Scotland's greatest military regiments.
The mining Town of New Cumnock provides a lunch stop. Moonwatcher, bike chained to a drainpipe outside the door, sits on a barstool in the Castle Hotel tucking into steak pie and a pint of flat beer. But it's a short halt, rushed, and indigestion proves troublesome on the remaining miles to Ayr.
In the 'Auld Toon', Rabbie looks down on him, as he sweeps around and past the statue in 'Burn's Statue Square'. He resists the temptation of another pub stop at the Wallace Tower Bar, to which old friends, the a husband and wife team, have moved from the now closed Seven Stars across the road. Instead he follows the flow of traffic down the busy main street, past the Tam o'Shanter Museum. The shop he's looking for is on the corner just ahead. He glances at his watch. It's 4.55pm.
"Where has the time gone?" he mutters to himself, as he props his bike up against a lamppost.
The bell tinkles above the door of the tobacconist's, announcing his entry, and bringing a bald, bespectacled gent to the counter from the back room. The air is heavy with the pungent aroma of tobacco. Glass cases are festooned with pipes, lighters and smoking paraphernalia. Behind the counter, jars filled with various types of weed, line the shelves.
"Hello, can I help you?" the man behind the counter asks, snatching an agitated look at his watch, and obviously keen to close up for the day.
"Eh. I'd like to buy I a pipe." says Moonwatcher.
"A present for my uncle." he lies.
After all, what would a young guy in his early twenties be doing smoking a pipe? Decidedly uncool.
"Certainly. What have you in mind?"
Moonwatcher follows the man's gaze down to the glass counter and surveys the rows of pipes. There are a lot to choose from. Black ones and brown, straight and bent. Some are carved, others smooth and shiny. A small prices tag is attached to each one but too small to be read without close scrutiny. The tobacconist stoops down behind the counter for a moment and removes a tray from the display.
"If you're looking for a basic, plain pipe, I'd recommend this one."
He removes a brown, wooden straight specimen and offers it for examination.
"It's a plain briar."
As Moonwatcher turns it in his fingers, he resists the impulse to stick it in his mouth and do an Eric Morecambe impersonation.
"On the other hand, your uncle may prefer something a little more elaborate."
Straight faced, he hands over a curved meerschaum that would not have looked out of place between the teeth of Sherlock himself.
"I don't think so." smiles Moonwatcher, replacing the meerschaum on the counter. He sees that the tag on the briar is well within what he's prepared to pay.
"I think this one'll do okay." he adds.
The tobacconist returns the meerschaum to its place, never having expected a sale in that direction. He closes the cabinet and begins to wrap Moonwatcher's choice in tissue paper.
"Tobacco?"
"Sorry?" says Moonwatcher, distracted by a group of lads outside the window, who are eyeing up his bike.
"Do you wish to buy tobacco?" asks the man, impatiently.
"Oh yes, of course." The lads move on and Moonwatcher returns his attention to the counter.
"What type does your uncle smoke?"
"Uncle? Oh yeah, him. Eh... Condor." He is pleased to have remembered the name of a pipe tobacco.
"Flake, bar or ready rubbed?" asks the tobacconist.
A random choice is called for.
"Oh... Eh, ready rubbed'll do."
Out in the street Moonwatcher stows his purchases into his saddlebag and begins to wheel the bulky bike along the pavement, dodging Saturday shoppers eager to catch the shops before closing time.
As he passes the 'Tam o' Shanter Museum', the faces of Souter Johnnie and Tam laugh down at him. This old building, once an eighteenth century brewing house, is reputed to be the scene of the start of Tam's wild ride, described in Burn's poem. It's while looking up at the grinning figureheads, that he realises the sky has become overcast and heavy looking. He mounts up and heads south out of the town.
But not for him a ride to the Alloway Kirk, or over the Auld Brig. No, there'll be no Cutty Sark chasing him or his mount out of the town. His destination, the family caravan, lies some 12 miles down the coast road in the direction of Maybole. Although he has made no firm commitment, he had led them to expect himself, sometime over the weekend. Tired legs slow him down as he pedals past Belleisle Park, and a few spots of rain have turn his thoughts turning to the waterproof cape again.
The sudden deflation of his back tyre brings him to an abrupt halt. Perhaps Cutty Sark followed him after all!
With the bike leaning against the high stone wall of Belleisle's gardens, Moonwatcher assesses the damage. The back tyre is as flat as a pancake. No option but to turn the bike upside down. To do that all the gear has to be removed. Panniers and saddlebag are unstrapped, and stacked against the wall. With the bike upturned, he slowly rotates the airless wheel, easily finding the source of the problem - a nail embedded in the thick rubber.
With the droplets of rain becoming more persistent, the tool kit is hurriedly unrolled on the pavement and tyre levers quickly used to prise the nailed section of tyre clear of the rim, exposing the underlying punctured inner tube. The hole is quickly identified by pumping a little air into the tube and smearing spittle over the affected area of rubber, creating tell-tale air bubbles at the point of entry. Dry off, coat with rubber solution, wait until tacky, appy apply a patch, a dusting of chalk and bingo! Puncture repaired.
He's just pulling the bent nail from the tyre when the drizzle turn turns to proper rain. As he's snapping the tyre back on to the rim he hears a car horn behind him, but thinks nothing of it. He'd like to give the patch a little longer to set before pumping up the tyre but with the weather deteriorating he decides to take a chance.
Just as he's about to start pumping, he becomes aware of a vehicle drawing up alongside and a familiar voice.
"You looking for a lift young man?"
He looks round to see a black London cab, and, leaning from its wound-down window, the welcome face of 'John the Taxi'.
"I sure am." he beams.

Everyday I receive questions about olive foundation matches. I feel you girlfran, my google search history is populated with 'olive foundation matches swatches green foundation plz halp! much frustrate'.
Oh hey that's right, I'm a blogger! Let's start a olive-foundation-database of sorts.
The two controls on the right are (top to bottom): MAC Studio Fix in NC20 (actually a cooler yellow tone) and Armani Luminous Silk in 5.5 (a warmer, peachy hue). The most olive of the bunch: Koh Gen Do Aqua in 213 and Armani Luminous Silk in 6.
Koh Gen Do – Aqua Foundation in 213* // This one is discernibly green, even amongst olive foundations. A depth of about NC20ish. Finish is on the dewy side and formula is best suited for normal-dry skin types. Review here. US buy. AUS buy.
Bourjois – Healthy Mix in 52 // This may be the palest of the bunch but still around an NC20ish in depth. Not quite as olive as the KGD but definitely on the greener spectrum. More coverage than the Koh Gen Do, satin finish and best suited to a 'normal skintype' (not particularly oily or dry). Review here. US buy. AUS buy.
Urban Decay – Naked Skin Foundation in 4 // I actually haven't tried UD Naked Skin yet (might feature in the next foundation first impressions) but many of you guys mentioned shade 4 leaned olive so I picked it up. I eyeball it at around NC27ish (?) and it looks to be a warm olive. US buy. AUS buy.
Tom Ford – Traceless Perfecting Foundation in Fawn // About an NC25 in depth (though Fawn runs lighter in the other Tom Ford formulas, be wary). Another warm olive, this formula is crazy long wearing but not particularly smoothing on pores/texture/peach fuzz. I think it would be best suited to combo/oilier skins. US buy. AUS buy.
Charlotte Tilbury – Magic Foundation in 6* // About an NC25-30 in depth. This does have an olive lean but not for the super green-skinned. Demi matte in finish but not particularly long wearing  I have reviewed it in a first impressions video here. US buy. AUS buy.
Armani – Luminous Silk in 6 // About NC35 in depth (can anyone confirm?). This one is actually uber green (although it may not look it in this swatch), so much so that I actually use this as an 'olive mixer'. US buy. AUS buy.
Depending on the time of year, I swing between an NC20 and NC25. I'm close to an NC25 in depth at the moment so Koh Gen Do Aqua 213 and Bourjois Healthy Mix 52 are too pale for me right now. Tom Ford Traceless Perfecting in Fawn is a good match but I'm not the biggest fan of the formula (on my dry skin). Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation in 6 is a touch deep and Armani Luminous Silk in 6 is much too deep (hence the 'olive mixer').
Any other olive foundations that I should add to the database? Any depth is welcome  Beggars can't be choosers lol.
maybe a little bit off topic, but I am a little bit struggling. I used to have the misture cover concealer as my foundation in NW20 or 15, but I never really liked the is pinkish on me. I have lots of red on my face, but I ordered a sample for Armani Luminous Silk in shade 5.5 a little bit too dark when i am first putting on (but I love how neutralize everything on me ) later on it blends or fading away… nut sure 😀 would like to have the same tone just little bit lighter which I think 4.5 isn`t the one. Could you help me which would be it?
It's difficult for me to recommend foundation matches online. If you're between NC15-NW20, Armani Luminous Silk in 4.5 might match you (it's leans a little yellow so will neutralises redness).
I have the Healthy Mix in 51, and Healthy Mix Serum in 51 and 52. I consider them all to be on the olive spectrum, but HM Serum 51 is a bit greener than HM 51.
Aromaleigh gossamer variable coverage mineral in a few sample shades (1YL, 1Y, 2YL, 2Y). The owner was super nice helping me figure out what to try and is a light olive herself. She thinks one of the YLs (yellow-linen) may be the best match for me to balance the olive and yellow.
Illamasqua Skinbase in 8.5/11.5! They are olive skin heaven! I'm with you – I'm basically green, foundation hunting is hard!!
I have cool olive skin that sits at around NC10 in depth, and my closest match is MAC Face & Body in C1 + White! I do three drops of C1 and two drops of white.
ABH will soon release a ton of stick foundations with an olive range, ranging from the palest to the darkest!
Hmm, I wonder if they will truly be olive. I notice a lot of companies call tan skin olive.
I self-diagnosed as having olive undertones only yesterday and hopped here today to check if there are some foundation recommendations, though I am paler than you, and lo and behold ! I'm still struggling, lol, I never really detected green hues on myself (maybe I'm just colorblind?) and have identified as 'warm' and 'jaundice yellow' since I got into makeup. My first clues were that a lot of blush shades pull orangey, even though there are some pink blushes that stay properly pink and the fact that gold actually doesn't look as great on me as it should. Also, I never really burned in the sun despite being pale, though I am super diligent about SPF, but back in the day when the task of SPFing myself was still in charge of my parents, my skin would at worst turn reddish and then tan, although poorly.
Guru Makeup Emporium (UK based) carries MUFE, and I believe they ship worldwide. (gurumakeupemporium dot com).
Thanks a lot! I went back to MUFE site, apparently they have two of their own stores in Paris, so I'll try my luck there first.
You may want to try Urban Decay Naked Skin in shade 1. It's not quite as olive-y as shade 4, but it's got enough green in it that I can make it work for my pale olive skin since most olive foundations are too dark for me. Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation in shade 100 Ivory also has olive undertones, it looks like it's similar to the KGD Aqua in 213, though maybe a bit lighter. It's darker than UD Naked Skin shade 1, and also has stronger olive undertones. Those are the two that have worked best for me so far.
Thank you, Christine! I'll make sure to check those out. So far, I've been using Bourjois CC cream in Ivory, Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 51 and Foundation in 51. The CC cream has a slightly rosy/peachy tint in certain lights, and I prefer Healthy Mix Foundation to Serum because it's less orange on me and the finish looks better.
Nice Suggestion April. I agree with you!
Jaundice yellow sounds rather olive to me 🙂 MUFE HD 117 is rather olive, I concur.
❤ Thanks for the swatches! Yes, lets start that olive foundation data base!
There is a clear business opportunity if anyone spotted it… Green people are clearly underserved in the foundation market!
Specially fair olive people. Some brands equal olive with only deeper skin, and don't cover all depths….
Yeah I agree. Whilst olive girls are already under-represented in the foundation market, I find that both spectrums are difficult to find. Olive girls below NC20 and those above NC30 hardly have olive matches. My experience is of the latter and I find that people immediately assume that as long as you're above NC30, you're definitely a warm yellow shade or a beige shade and any claims otherwise shows some sort of misunderstanding of skin tone. Some Indian girls tend to lean olive actually; I do wonder if the Indian market caters to this.
As an Indian I can assure u that the Indian market does not cater to olive tones at all! my only success story with olive foundations was with the nars ADLW foundation in shade Stromboli..I'm around mac nc 35-40 and though the shade stromboli was an almost perfect match I was'nt satisfied with the formulation..its more of a full coverage matte foundation, not very suitable for those looking for a light daily wear foundation but could work well on oily combination skin..I've also tried the UD naked in shade 4 which is a lot lighter than Stromboli but quite olive and has worked on me in certain lighting. Next on my list is the Armani luminous silk in 6!
Thank you for this, very insightful! I also had the suspicion that on my light olive skin foundations that are too green make me look sick, but wasn't quite sure. Helpful to hear others have this impression too! Do you have problems matching your face with your neck when you are wearing a foundation that is rather beige toned?
Hi there! I like warming up my neck and chest area with some bronzer or warmed-toned powder; when I do that, plus contour and blush in the face, it all looks harmonious enough. But when I don't do that, I don't concern myself too much with any difference. We've been sold the idea it all should be the same color when, if you look your own – and other people's – face, neck and chest, they tend to be different colors! As long as you don't end up with a floating head, you'll be alright!
Personally, beige foundation read very pink or ashy on me so they don't mesh well with my neck.
Love mufe in y225 for the yellow undertone but don't get the longevity from it. Nars sheer glow in deauville too but still searching for a long wearing version with the same colour match.
Have you tried anything at all to help with longevity? Primers? Setting powder? What's your skintype?
For a point of reference, when I compare it in shade to Charlotte Tilbruy's Magic Foundation in 6, it looks more green and less yellow.
Hey Karima! What shade would you be on the Armani Luminous Silk taking into account you are just like me? (Nc25-30ish?) I own it in 4.5 but I believe it leans rather peachy so it isn't my best match at all. Thanks soooo much.
I don't have a perfect match in Luminous Silk, I mix shade 6 with 4.5 (less peachy than 5 or 5.5, actually).
OMG, I think you are my skintwin and it is amazing you pulled this list together. I have struggled with foundation for years (everything EVERYTHING turns ORANGE) and my epic journey has brought me to now; having almost every foundation listed here in my stash. I like TF Fawn. It isn't absolutely perfect tone wise for me, but spot on level wise, and never a bad choice. I absolutely wish The Tom would come up with a mature skin friendly foundation formula with medium buildable coverage. Is that too much to ask? UD Naked 4.0 is too warm, dark, and too golden yellow, not that little hit of green I need. KGD 213 is too green. CT Magic 6 is too dark, fairly good balance of green and yellow, but I despise the formula.. zero staying power. I could go on at length.. I won't. I just had to share that I am blown away and found it a positively eerie experience to read your post.
LOL how funny, we're having the same struggle!
I think L'Oreal True Match in W7 and Rouge Bunny Rouge in Cashew are downright green, although I just add a drop to white-base sunscreens to make them workable (I'm NW/NC 15-20). I may have to try the Bourjois. Thanks for this post!
I'll take a look at W7, would be nice to have a drugstore alternative!
Correct, HM 52 is much greener than HMS in 52 (the latter is also lighter, if I remember correctly).
Hi Karima! Thank you for this blog post! I have just started hunting for a HG foundation =p I just bought Bourjois Healthy Mix in 52 but sadly, it is too orange and a little dark for me. Does it mean that my skin is more towards warm olive or cool olive undertone?
Have you tried EX1? They market themselves as an olive foundation.
It's strange, based on online swatches they don't look green at all?!
Thanks for the swatches! Yes, the Armani Luminous Silk in 6 would be a good match for NC30-35. Other additions to your mixer type foundations is Becca Olive and Cover Fx G50. They are both very olive around the NC 30-35 colouring.
Yes! The Armani foundation is my HG! Even Makeup Forever Ultra HD, with its great shade range, doesn't have an olive shade to match me. I either look ashy or orange.
It's a bummer, especially since Ultra HD has a wide shade range but NOT QUITE RIGHT lol.
Try the Cover FX in 25N or 30N.
The bigger problem I have is that when I try to conceal my under eye circles with "one shade lighter" it inevitably looks ashy. Like you, I worship at the House of Eldridge, and while I can generally use her bases, her beloved Clinique air brush concealer in neutral fair is a disaster on me.
For a while the Naked concealer was my favorite, but at some point I started to develop spots from it. I guess some bacteria got in the tube or something (which I thought was an urban legend!) Right now I am LOVING Bare Minerals liquid concealer in Medium. It has the most concentrated color I've ever seen and rather good staying power as well. Of course, I can't wait to try Kat von D's new Lock It concealer, out any day now….
So, I am NC35, and Armani Luminous Silk 5.5 suits me perfectly.
Are you olive? That one runs very peachy on me.
Where does one get the White Lightening drops mentioned below?
Thank you Shelly. I'll get some MUFE today!
Face Atelier ultra foundation in zero minus is a white that can be added to lighten foundations.
Yes please on the Urban Decay as the next foundation first impression! I've been eyeballing it but am unsure if it would add anything to my already absurd stash of foundations – thanks so much, Karima.
I recently sampled some of the Koh Gen Do Aqua range — namely the light-to-medium shades. 213 is the only olive shade. All the others have a peachy undertone, at least on me.
I share your frustration as a fellow pale person. Virtually every foundation I've tried is either too pink (e.g., Revlon Colorstay Combo/Oily in 110 (which also oxidized), the late Becca Luminous Skin Colour in Porcelain), too yellow (NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia, the late Becca Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation in Shell), or too peach (the late Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation in 115, MUFE Mat Velvet+ in 115 Alabaster, MUFE Ultra HD in Y205 (also, surprisingly, a smidge too light! otherwise, love it), MUFE Ultra HD in Y225/117 + MAC F&B in White). I think my own undertones are straight up neutral beige.
Colour correcting drops may be our solution. In another comment I mentioned MUFE makes white drops for lightening purposes. They also make some colours — red, blue, and yellow — to use for colour correcting a shade. (They also come in brown and black.) It's called Chromatic Mix and comes in two formulas — water-based and oil-based.
Thank you! I guess I'll just have to keep searching, but I will definitely take a look into these color correcting drops (even though they are quite expensive and a bit hard to find where I live. It's still a good option, nonetheless).
The white corrector is ridiculously sheer. I've used it without much success. The other colors are a lot more pigmented, though. Good luck! I still haven't found the right mix, but I'm currently testing out MUFE's new waterblend foundation in 215 and 225. 225 is pretty olive, but a tad dark on me. 215 is a tad light and just a touch peachy on me. I've mixed the two, but it does take away the olive-ness, so my next test will be to mix yellow chromatic mix into the 215 and see how that goes.
It's so difficult to find foundation when you're this pale and olive; almost everything is too dark or leans too colorful, for lack of a better word. The most frustration part is that makeup artists think I'm darker than I really am because they're mistaking my olive tones as a deeper complexion.
Short answer: No lol. I find that some ranges will offer one or two olive shades and the rest run warm/peachy/pink. Irritating!
Thank you for this post. I've never really known that I have an olive colored skin until I discovered your blog/youtube channel. I just always had problems with picking the right color because it was either too pink on me or too orange. I'm an NC 20-ish (-ish because it's too pink but the next color is orange on me) but no one will describe as pale but I'm not dark either. People describe my color as light yellow (Weird. I know. And no I'm not jaundice). I could never achieve that no makeup makeup look because the color was never right. Until I saw this post and tried the koh gen do 213 (I live in the Philippines and this is the only product I could get my hands on). The girl at the counter told me that 213 was too dark for my skin tone and wanted me to try the 123 because it was lighter. But when I tested it side by side the 123 made half of my face look like I stayed too long under the sun. The side with 213 looked like I had nothing on but inner glow. Halleluja! (Or more appropriately: KARIMAAAAA!!!). What a revelation. Thank you!
hey karima! how would you compare the TF stick foundation in fawn vs the traceless foundation depth wise?
I've been mixing Algenist REVEAL Concentrated Color Correcting Drops in green with foundation. It is meant to be worn before foundation to color correct redness, but if you mix it with foundation it makes it more olive. I am darker than you. KGD 213 is too light for me. I may have to try the Armani Luminous Silk.
don't have a green foundation recommendation but makeup atelier makes this fluid concealer with a shade called "olive green". And it's like… straight up olive. Formulation is superb too.
INTERESTING! Sounds epic, will order one.
Karima, is the Armani Lasting Silk in 6 as olive as the Luminous Silk in 6?
Glad to see more green foundations popping up on the market, but being a green-ish NC10 is still a struggle. I've been mixing the Bourjois healthy mix in shade 51 with Makeup Atelier's white base for years now – the only combo that works. PS: Have you heard of the NIOD Photography fluid at 12% opacity? It's an illuminating base of sorts and it seems to have a slight olive pearlescence to it. I wonder if using it as a primer could correct yellowness/add greenness to a sheer neutral foundation for example.
Cristina, I have the same struggle! I have used Bourjois on it's own, but it wasn't quite right for me either, so I'll have to try your mix. Much thanks!
I've heard good things about the NIOD, will do more research!
I'm light and olive toned. MAC NC20 is a pretty good match but their foundations always made me break out and MUFE HD in Y235 is almost perfect but I hate the new formulation.
I've had nice success mixing in NYX HD concealers in 12 (green) and/or 10 (yellow) with Too Faced Born This Way in Pearl (which is slightly too dark/orange out of the bottle) and, for greasier days, MUFE Mat Velvet in 20 (too pink-toned).
I've also tried the MUFE chromatic mix in yellow, and it's ok, but it does darken the shade a bit.
I'd like to add to the list MUFE's new Waterblend foundation in 225 and maybe 215 (thought that's marketed as yellow). The shades in the waterblend don't correspond to the other foundations in their line (the MUFE standalone store artists told me that on three different occasions I visited), and they'reapparently a little lighter. 225 is noticeably olive, but it's a tad dark on my skin, but 215 isn't yellow/olive enough. It's probably going to take some tweaking and a combination of their chromatic mixers, but I wanted to at least mention the foundations!
What is your approximate depth, in MAC terms if you know it?
Karima, although I don't have the olive skin tone, I have enjoyed your discussion of undertone in general and how important it is. If others feel they don't look good in foundation, I think this is the reason why. I am 55 and pretty much hated foundation all my life. Now I know the reason is so little foundation matches my skin tone and undertone. I'm light with a pink undertone. Most line's lighter tones are yellow undertone, or their very fairest has a pink tone but is too light for me. Finally about 5 years ago I found Chanel Beige Rose – ahhhh. Unfortunately then they discontinued this color in the CC cream I loved, and I haven't loved the other formulas they have in Beige Rose yet, so I'm on the hunt for a new foundation.
Even though you do not have my exact coloring, you are my favorite beauty blogger so far. I've really benefited from your recommendations for matte shadows and dry sky-related products. If you've run across any good pink undertones in your travels, us pink girls would love to hear about it!
Good to know, thanks love!
I can absolutely concur with this comment! I use both and they are the best matches I have. I would add the Healthy Mix in 53 as well, it's perfect for when I'm pale.
Yup – Georgio Armani luminous silk 6 suits me fine and I'm an NC35 (well NC35 is yellower but we're definitely of similar depth). MUFE ultra HD/ HD foundation in 123 is also actually quite a decent olive match for those about NC30-35. It is less olive than GA luminous 6 but good for those who have a higher level of warm yellow in their skin tone OR frequently tan easily from being in the sun.
Finaly I found a girl that have pretty much the same skin tone like I do. I strugle a LoT to find my colour in Any foundation. There is One foundation that can suite me but I cannt try it since its available only on Line which is the EX1 invisiware foundation which is for olive skins. Did you try this One ?!
Based on swatches online, the EX1 line doesn't look particularly olive!
I use the Tom Ford in 03 Fawn as well. It's my day to day foundation. I totally agree that it isn't very forgiving with dry skin and pores (my dry skin is dreadful), but when I use it I just make sure I've used a good moisturizer and I use a primer over my nose, chin, and any area that may have pores on my skin or are prominent that day. The foundation being a bit on the lighter side, I use my Suqqu cheek to contour my cheekbones with a gray-er toned blush or bronzer so it looks more natural. It tends to work well for me! Otherwise I add half a pump of a different foundation (still olive but slightly darker) in the summer because my skin shade changes.
Thought I would share as TF is my HG foundation!!!
Glad you found one that worked for you! This one picked up on peach fuzz on my face, which is odd because I have very little!
first: I love your blog! 🙂 You are so thorough, it is really, really helpful (and also very enjoyable). As a recommendation I (slightly hesitantly) would add MAC's Face and Body in C2 and C3. I use them both, and most of the time like them – but (and this is why this is a hesitant recommendation) sometimes they seem to be a bit off on me and I don't know why. I am quite light in my face (around NC20), but much darker on my body, so that it is often good for me to use a darker foundation (this would be the C3). And I am visibly green!
Karima, Boots No7 Airbrush Away in the shade Honey is super grey/olive!! Not sure if the honey shade in their other foundation lines are olive too.
Ooh, I'll take a look, thank you!
Hi Karima, Just discovered your blog today- love your direct and detailed descriptions. You've created an amazing reference source. Thank You!
Notes: Lancome is a perfect match- they have a number of "neutral" (olive) shades, so you might want to check them out. The Makeup Forever Water Blend is known to oxidize a little bit (I was told this from one of the artists working in their stand-alone store), so go a little lighter than you think you need.
Hmm I've tried to buy the MUFE Water Blend on numerous occasions but I can't seem to find a decent match, will try again!
Hi Karima. Thank you so much for doing this post. I have such a hard time finding light olive foundation for my skin. How did you like the Urban Decay foundation. Do you think it's suitable for oily skin? Thanks again. You and Sharon rock…love your videos!
I haven't played with the Naked Skin foundation enough to form an opinion but I'll post about it when I do. Have you seen the All Nighter Foundation? I've heard that performs well on oily skins.
Hi Karima! I I am an NC25 and rely on your reviews for color matching! I am an NC30-35 in summer and LOVE Armani Luminous Silk in 6 but now that summer is over, I am struggling to find a good match for my skin. Do you have a Luminous Silk shade recommendation for the NC25 range? And if not, what would you recommend in terms of another brand/formula? I have combination skin and prefer a light/medium to medium coverage foundation.
I am also a true olive so I find all of your reviews incredibly helpful!
I was wondering though, if you had any recommendations for olive skin friendly powder foundations?
While I love my Bourjois mix for full face days, on days at university I consider myself very polished if I can manage under-eye concealer, mascara, and a light dusting of powder. So far though, I have yet to fin a good shade match in a powder, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not much of a powder foundation wearer but I do like the SUQQU Dual Effect Powder Foundation, the shade 002 is a cool yellow and a similar depth to the Bourjois No52.
I am also NC20-25 olive-toned. It's so difficult to find the right match. Most makeup artist tell me that I'm "too light" to be olive. They associate olive with tan skins only. Even if I find a lovely formula, I can't find a color match. The best match so far has been Tom Ford in fawn, but I disliked the formula for reasons you stated. My favorite was the Laura Mercier oil-free foundation in sunny beige until they change the formula. Why God?!! I'm still on the hunt for my HG but until then I'll just have to make due with Chanel vitalumiere aqua 30.
Have you tried the Koh Gen Do Aqua in 213? It's a similar depth to Tom Ford Fawn.
Hey Karima, have you tried the Bourjois CC Cream? Great undetectable formulation and the colour "beige claire" is very green. I really like it!
My HG was Lancome Teint Miracle (old version) in O-03. It was a perfect olive. Then they change it to more watery texture and lesser coverage, ugh!
I love the Koh Gen Do 213, but it is too late on me. I make it work by mixing it with other foundations or use it sparingly. I've not determined if I'm olive or just straight up yellow. Even when I think my face matches my body, when I look in a mirror outside my face still looks noticeably pink/grey compared to my chest. Currently, I am mixing the KGD 213 with Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer 08…it's just really frustrating!

Hi Karima! I look at this post all the time. I have an odd question. The back of my neck is uber tan relative to the rest of my body (apparently I forget to put sunscreen there?) and no foundation matches my lighter olive skinned face. I'm wondering if I should just match foundation to the back of my neck in the winter since I have matches for that, like the GA luminous silk 6. But then my hands will look more pale in my chunky sweaters….I guess which is better? Matching my darker neck and retaining my olive undertone or trying to keep my face light even when it then looks awkwardly peachy?
Hi Karima! So which shades in the luminous silk line run more olive? and out of the following shades which are more yellow or olive and less peachy?
following shades: 4, 4.5 , 5, 5.5, 5,75 and 6?
Hey Karima, great post but I find the line 'beggars can't be choosers' to be racially inconsiderate considering that you're part of the most targeted market segment of the beauty industry: caucasians. What do you think the struggle is like for someone who has the deepest brown complexion?
I just wanted to give a little tip for fellow olive-tones… If you have a foundation that is too orange or yellow, or even peachy, mix BLUE in with it…I used to be quite into painting, thus very in-tune with color theory…opposite colors will basically cancel each other out when mixed. For example, if you mix red and green paint, it will become gray. A perfect lack of color. So: blue is the opposite of orange. When you mix a little bit of blue in a foundation, it helps tone down the orange coloring. It won't make it gray of course, but if you add just a little bit, it really cuts back on the orange. ANOTHER thing is, as we all know, blue mixed with yellow makes green…and most foundations have at least some yellow in them! So adding the blue will not only cancel out the orange, but also add a hint of green color! 🙂 I have seen this tip mentioned here and there on the internet but wanted to share here in case anyone would want to know. I do not know if this would help with pink-toned foundations. For those maybe mixing in a bit of green concealer would be better but I don't own any pink-based foundations so I can't say. Blue mixing with pink would make a more purply color, but it depends on the amount of pink compared to the amount of orange and yellow in the product.
I'll have you know that I just spend half an hour calling EVERY Nordstrom, Sephora, and even freakin' Barney's in the area where I live (major metropolitan area, too, so you would think someone would have it!) trying to find the Koh Gen Do foundation in person. I hate phones and I hate calling people, but "this product is literally green" has me sold and I called like six places. I have been trying so hard to find a foundation that actually matches my fairly pale olive skin. Everything so far has looked like a pink, orange, or yellow mask on me. The prospect of something that is actually a good undertone match overcame my hatred of phones.
So thank you for this post so much, you may have actually made makeup wearable for me?? I had kinda given up hope of anything ever looking good. Fingers crossed that the 213 is a good match!

Lifeguarding the Pool
Please note: Pool lifeguard qualifications are awarded by national organisations in your country, not by the Free Lifesaving Society.
Pool lifeguards work in enclosed water like swimming pools and waterparks. They are trained to use specific equipment according to their situation.
When they act, they do so as members of a team and they do so over very short distances. Most pool rescues involve a swim of less than 15 metres, but can involve any part of the pool, subject to size.
They will generally have to rescue people who got into difficulties because of their limited skills or confidence, or help those who have suffered from a medical problem.
Other tasks include looking after bather's comfort and entertainment, or tidying the floats and other toys. They may need to hop into the pool a few times each day to sort things out.
In Britain the Swimming Teachers Association (STA) trains to the National Aquatic Rescue Standard (NARS). The course takes a minimum of 38 hours and the qualification is valid for two years from the date of assessment. A minimum of 20 hours training must be logged in those two years for the individual to be eligible to submit for a renewal examination.
The training should include a module about the use of a long spine board, a specialist piece of rescue equipment designed for immobilizing a casualty suspected of suffering a Spinal Cord injury.
The employer of the lifeguard must also provide a minimum of 1 hour of training per month to comply with HSE guidelines.
The 10:20 System
Some people think lifeguarding is just a laid back job.
The 10:20 system is an effective technique used by lifeguards all over the world. It requires scanning from one side of the pool to the other, or the designated area, in 10 seconds.
The second requirement is that the lifeguard be no further than 20 seconds away from any swimmer who may get into difficulty in the lifeguard's area.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut cabbage up coarsely and place in an oiled 13 x 9 baking dish. in a medium bowl, combine meat, onion, seasonings and rice. Spread evenly over cabbage. In same bowl, combine tomato soup, brown sugar and water. Pour over meat mixture. Cover pan with foil and bake for 1-1/2 hours.
**note-here is a substitution for condensed tomato soup. I have used it in this recipe with success (I no longer use any Campbell's brands due to allergy un-awareness on their part). Since there is brown sugar in the cabbage recipe, I only use 1 tbs of sugar per tomato soup recipe.

July 23, 1994 – Frank Zappa fan John Scialli is rewarded after embarking on a quest to get Zappa recognized in space when a Czech astronomer at The International Astronomical Union names an asteroid in Mars' orbit after Zappa, who had passed away from cancer the year before. The asteroid (actually a minor planet) is named Zappafrank. The official release says:
Discovered 1980 May 11 by L. Brozek at Klet. Named in memory of Frank Zappa (1940-1993), rock musician and composer of innovative contemporary symphonic, chamber and electronic music. Zappa was an ecletic, self-trained artist and composer with incredible energy and a biting wit and his music transcends the usual music barriers. Before 1989 he was regarded as a symbol of democracy and freedom by many people in Czechoslovakia.
July 23, 2014 – Ex-Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin gets a speeding ticket for going 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. She blames her lead foot on Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55," which is playing on the radio. Hagar immediately agrees to cover the price of the ticket.
July 23, 2001 – Megadeth is refused work permits to play a scheduled concert in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, because of "unsuitable imagery" on their albums. In particular, the government objects to the band's famous skeleton mascot "Vic Rattlehead." In addition, all of their albums are pulled from stores.
July 23, 1977 – John Bonham and Led Zeppelin band manager Peter Grant are charged with assault after a concert at the Oakland Coliseum in California for roughing up a security staff member. Promoter Bill Graham files a lawsuit that is settled out of court for an alleged two million dollars. Unfortunately, the tour is cancelled a few days later after the tragic death of Robert Plant's son.

Sometime in the not-too-distant future, you could be walking down a city street when you suddenly realize there's something different about the delivery truck that just whizzed past. A block or two later it will hit you: The otherwise ordinary-looking vehicle was virtually silent, and it emitted no foul-smelling exhaust.
Smith Electric Vehicles (SEV) U.S. Corp. is hoping that scenario will soon become a common one. The joint venture of U.S. investors and a European maker of electric-battery vehicles will soon begin production of a quiet electric-battery commercial truck on this side of the Atlantic. The vehicles will be the first zero-emissions commercial trucks in North America, SEV says.
The company's first U.S. model will be the Smith Newton, which has been in use in Europe for more than three years. Described as the world's largest electric-battery-powered truck, the Newton boasts an on-board battery charger, a range of 100-plus miles per charge, and a payload of more than 16,000 pounds. Its top speed is 50 miles per hour. Meanwhile, SEV's U.K. partner, The Tanfield Group Plc, is working with Ford Motor Co. to begin production of an electric-battery version of the Ford Transit Connect light-duty van in 2010.
SEV will target companies that want an environmentally friendly way to deliver parcels and larger shipments in urban areas. Several fleet operators reportedly have expressed strong interest in acquiring the trucks for their fleets.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has questioned the psychological state of the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, following his allegation that vote-buying was started by the former president.
The party boss made the assertion during a television interview.
But in his response, Jonathan in a statement made available to the media in Abuja on Wednesday said that even though he was not aware of why the former Edo State Governor made the misleading remark, it may not be unconnected with the pressure he is going through in his new office.
Citing what he called Oshiomhole's recent flip-flops such as praising members of his party one day and criticizing them the next, Jonathan observed that the party boss was tackles and desperate.
Signed by Ikechukwu Eze, his Media Adviser, the statement said: "We really do not know the real reason for this misleading falsehood, at this point in time. However, we can only guess that Mr Oshiomhole who is currently operating under tremendous stress in the bid to steady the already floundering ship of his administration as the new leader of his party, may have got himself entangled in a voyage of tactless desperation.
"The fact is that inducement as a tool in the hands of politicians is an old malaise that no Nigerian can be proud of. It is bad enough that this has been allowed to fester and morph into the ugly trend that is today called vote buying. "Given this circumstance, you would expect a statesman of Oshiomhole's standing to offer perspectives on how to solve this problem that is already making our country an object of scorn in the eyes of the international community.

Q: Trying To Save My Item To CoreData FrameWork I'm trying to use CoreData to save my favourites locally and I have a set that acts as storage so that they will be accessed when the program terminates but I am not sure how to make my object persistent to do that. This is what I tried to do.
import Foundation
import CoreData

class PersistenceService {

    private init() {}

        static var context: NSManagedObjectContext {
            return persistentContainer.viewContext
        }

// MARK: CoreData
static var persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer = {
    /*
     The persistent container for the application. This implementation
     creates and returns a container, having loaded the store for the
     application to it. This property is optional since there are legitimate
     error conditions that could cause the creation of the store to fail.
    */
    let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "playerModel")
    container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (storeDescription, error) in
        if let error = error as NSError? {
            // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
            // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.

            /*
             Typical reasons for an error here include:
             * The parent directory does not exist, cannot be created, or disallows writing.
             * The persistent store is not accessible, due to permissions or data protection when the device is locked.
             * The device is out of space.
             * The store could not be migrated to the current model version.
             Check the error message to determine what the actual problem was.
             */
            fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)")
        }
    })
    return container
}()

static func saveContext () {
    let context = persistentContainer.viewContext
    if context.hasChanges {
        do {
            try context.save()
        } catch {
            // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.
            // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.
            let nserror = error as NSError
            fatalError("Unresolved error \(nserror), \(nserror.userInfo)")
        }
    }
}
}

This is the object I want to save
var item = CurrentPlayers(context: PersistenceService.context) //make it reference NSManagededContext so it can be saved

//this method adds to Favourites
@IBAction func addToFav(_ sender: Any) {
               let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Favourite Added ", message: "\(name.text ?? "") is added to favourites", preferredStyle: .alert)
               alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(
                    title: "OK",
                    style: UIAlertAction.Style.default)
               { [self] _ in
                        FavouriteManager.shared.add(item)
                    })
               self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
               print("Favourite button Pressed")
           }

This is where I want to store my objects
import Foundation

class FavouriteManager {

    static let shared = FavouriteManager()

    var favSet: Set<CurrentPlayers> = Set()

    func add(_ player: CurrentPlayers) {
        favSet.insert(player)
        NotificationCenter.default.post(
            name: .passFavNotification,
            object: player
        )
    }
}

Marie Kruses Skole er et privat gymnasium og grundskole. Grundskolen blev oprettet af Marie Kruse i 1869 og var i begyndelsen en pigeskole med adresse i København. Marie Kruses Skole har flere gange flyttet adresse til nye lokaler i København og på Frederiksberg, da skolen hurtigt blev populær og fik brug for flere kvadratmeter - blandt andet Absalonsgade 3 og Frederiksberg Allé 16. I 1908 blev studentereksamen indført på Marie Kruses Skole, og i 1965 åbnede skolen dørene for drenge, og skolens tid som pigeskole var slut.  I 1971 flyttede Marie Kruses Skole til Farum, hvor skolen ligger i dag.

I bogen Ej at synes ... af Bent Essinger beskrives Marie Kruse som en flittig og samfundsengageret sjæl, som ud over at opstarte og bestyre Marie Kruses Skole også involverede sig aktivt i flere foreninger bl.a. Foreningen til Lærerinders Understøttelse, Forenede Pigeskoler i København og Frederiksberg og Sønderjysk Samfund.

I 1869 blev Marie Kruses Skole grundlagt.

I 1902 trak Marie Kruse sig tilbage ved sommerferiens start den 10. juli.

I 1911 dimitterede skolen første gang elever til studentereksamen.

I 1923 døde Marie Kruse og blev begravet på Assistens Kirkegård i København.

I 1965 blev de første drenge optaget på skolen - og tiden som pigeskole var slut.

I 1971 blev Marie Kruses Skole sammenlagt med Farum private Realskole og flyttede til Stavnsholtvej 29-31, Farum.

I 1987 blev MKS'eniors grundlagt som skolens forening for tidligere elever.

I 2007 blev skolen udvidet med en ny science-bygning til naturvidenskabelige fag.

How toxic is your car?
Hi everyone! I'm excited to start blogging again. During my online silence, I've been hard at work offline on my first book, which is about environmental health at home. Soon after my first child was born, I stumbled across upsetting information regarding environmental toxins — endocrine disruptors, neurotoxins, reproductive toxins, and others — that contribute to developmental and behavioral impairment in children. What kept me up at night was learning that my daughter's exposure to these toxins would come mostly from our home, as a result of my purchasing decisions! So I've been organizing my research from over the past five years to package them into a book that I would have loved as a gift for my wedding, baby shower or when I was in the maternity ward. In addition to providing an overview to the topic, one that every parent should hear, the book will contain the practical tips that I've been collecting and prioritizing, tips that reduce my family's exposure to environmental toxins. Stay tuned to learn more about the book! I'm working hard to wrap it up.
In the meantime, I've been happy to see more news coverage on the topic. For example, in May 2012, The Chicago Tribune published "Playing with Fire," an explosive, provocative and important investigative series on chemical flame retardants, which are found in a wide range of household products such as upholstered furniture, toys, nursing pillows, mattresses, high chairs and more. The New York Times followed up on the topic soon after.
These toxic chemicals are associated with a long list of health concerns, including lower IQ, antisocial behavior, impaired fertility, decreased birth weight, diabetes, memory loss, undescended testicles, lowered levels of male hormones and hyperthyroidism.
The U.S. EPA has described popular flame retardants as "persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic to both humans and the environment." Through biomonitoring studies, they are estimated to be present in almost everyone, including infants. Blood levels of certain widely used flame retardants doubled in adults every two to five years between 1970 and 2004.
Flame retardants can pass from mother to child through the placenta and through breast milk.
The average American infant has the highest recorded levels of chemical flame retardants in the world.
Breastmilk from the average American mom has been found to be 75 times the average found in European women.
Studies have found that young children can have three times the levels of flame retardants in their blood as their parents.
What worsens this story is that these chemical flame retardants don't offer meaningful value. The Consumer Product Safety Commission oversaw tests conducted in 2009 tests that did not find flame retardants in foam to provide any significant protection.
Cars are another source of exposure. The articles in The Chicago Tribune and The New York Times point out that these chemical flame retardants pervade items throughout our households. However, another significant source of exposure is from our cars.
In February 2012, HealthyStuff.org published its fourth consumer guide to toxic chemicals in cars: The 2011/2012 Guide to New Vehicles. These chemicals not only contribute to "new car smell," but they can be inhaled as gas or inhaled or ingested as dust. The concern is that they are linked to severe health impacts such as birth defects, learning disabilities and cancer. Common VOCs found in vehicles include known or suspected carcinogens such as benzene, ehtybenzene and styrene. The average American spends more than 1.5 hours, or 5.5% of their time, in a car every day. Therefore, toxic chemical exposure inside vehicles can be a major source of indoor air pollution. The World Health Organization recognizes interior air pollution of vehicles as a major threat to human health.
If you're in the process of buying a new car, then consider information in The 2011/2012 Guide to New Vehicles by The Ecology Center. This guide provides important perspective (including ratings) on the toxicity levels of various car models.
Regularly clean your car: vacuum and wipe surfaces with a wet microfiber cloth to fight the dust.
Keep your car in shaded areas since heat can cause more toxic fumes to be released from the car's interior materials.
Minimize clutter in your car. Since many things release chemicals as gas or dust, the more stuff in your car the more potential sources of toxic fumes and dust.
Ventilate your car regularly to allow toxic vapors from the interior car materials to escape.
Washing hands frequently is a high impact tip for a variety of reasons, including minimizing absorption and ingestion of toxic chemicals.
Consider your children's car seats. Most contain chemical flame retardants. What are healthier options?
A friend of mine with a newborn researched healthy options thoroughly and recommended the Orbit car seat. Orbit has created a car seat that avoids brominated flame retardants. Read more here: http://www.orbitbaby.com/en/articles/flame-retardants/.
At $380, however, the Orbit car seat is pricey. Another alternative is to keep your current car seat but replace its cushioning / seat cover with an organic one. After an online search, Nollie Covers provides low toxic options. Using organic cotton and wool, Nollie Covers sells covers for popular brands such as for Britax, Peg Perego and Graco car seats. At $248 per cover, this is a less expensive purchase than the Orbit car seat.

Given that, as regular readers will know, I tend to think of Julie Atherton as something close to the Second Coming, I was a little trepidatious at the prospect of her new CD No Space for Air when it was first announced as an album embracing her rockier side and moving away from the musical theatre repertoire she is best known for. I almost cracked when I heard there was a Linkin Park song on there as I have never knowingly listened to one of their songs in my life! But I stuck with it, trusted in Julie, and was rewarded with a great listen.
For if there is a rock chick inside Atherton, it is a fairly mellow one. The aforementioned Linkin Park song 'Crawling' is a gorgeous string-laden number with gently strummed guitars a little at odds with the angst-ridden lyrics: a very pleasant surprise but I'm happy without ever having to listen to the original. Likewise, Skunk Anansie's 'Weak' is stripped back to an almost acoustic rendition, piano-led this time but equally raw lyrically, showing a different side but still feeling authentic. Including Tori Amos' quirky 'Leather' is a nice touch, allowing a little vocal playfulness, but a rendition of Shawn Colvin's 'Never Saw Blue Like That' is probably the best thing on the album. Performed with such subtle restraint with a simple guitar accompaniment, it is just captivating.
But she is musical theatre through and through and new writing is particularly strongly represented here. New composers like Michael Bruce and Lance Horne have their songs 'Blind' and 'Anywhere But Here' respectively sung the hell out of, and arranger and pianist for the album Craig Adams' song 'Lost In Translation' is brilliantly delivered, putting a little unexpected twist on matters. Sondheim is on here too, but the version of Follies' 'Losing My Mind' is completely unlike any version you'll have heard before, best experienced blind if you haven't heard it yet, and a canny way to subvert expectations.
It is perhaps predictable that I loved this album, but it really does reward purchase as a superbly sequenced mix of pop, rock and musical theatre, sung by a woman with a simply fearsome talent that, if there is any justice in this world, is destined to become recognised as one of the finest working in the country.
