The average human adult body has an astounding 5 million hairs of which 100,000 to 150,000 are on scalp. True blondes have more hair on scalp - 140,000 hairs than brunettes (105,000 hairs) or redheads (90,000 hairs). Hair is made up of a protein called Keratin. Keratin is also a constituent of our nails.

Some year’s back my husband and I got our selves into a bit of a pickle where money is concerned (probably something quite a few people can relate to). Of course I wanted to fix this problem (money woes can really put a strain on you and your relationship).

So what did I do?

I went out and bought books on making money. One of them you would probably be familiar with “Rich Dad and Poor Dad”. It sure got a lot of hype; I went out and bought it right after watching a promotion about it on Oprah.

With each of my books I read maybe a chapter from each and then placed them on my book shelf (where they collected dust). Wow! That was a bad investment on my part. But it didn’t have to be! After all I did buy these books to fix a “problem”.
