Q: I want to tile the ceiling of my client’s bathroom, including the shower. How should I detail the setting bed, and how do I keep it from all falling down? A: Michael Byrne, veteran tile installer and consultant, and moderator of JLC’s ceramic tile online forum , responds: A tiled ceiling can literally be the crowning glory of a shower stall, but there are a few things you should do to ensure a durable, attractive, practical, and safe installation. One of the most overlooked aspects of tiling a ceiling in a wet environment such as a bathroom or shower is that the ceiling should be sloped or crowned. The unsightly brown spots that you often see on flat tiled ceilings are actually the beginning of stalactites forming as water vapor condenses on the ceiling tiles and leaches minerals out of them. This problem can be eliminated by drying off the tiles each time the shower is used, which is inconvenient at best. But if the ceiling tiles are sloped, most of the surface moisture simp...

When water alone isn't enough for cleansing, most of us reach for soap, or what we think is soap. You may be surprised to find that many of the cleansers you use are actually detergents or synthetic soap substitutes . Like soaps, detergents attract dirt and oil, lifting it up so that it can be rinsed away. There are many alternatives for soap whether you need to clean your face, body or hair. Synthetic detergents differ from soap in several ways. Soap is made from fat, salt and oils, while detergent cleansers do not contain fatty acids as soaps do. Soap is more alkaline, while detergents can match the pH of healthy ...

What Is Ichthyosis? For those who don't know what Ichthyosis is, I will begin this article with a definition from FIRST (Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types ): "Ichthyosis is a family of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaling skin that may be thickened or very thin. The prefix "ichthy" is taken from the Greek root for the word fish. Each year, more than 16,000 babies are born with some form of ichthyosis. Ichthyosis affects people of all ages, races and gender. The disease usually presents at birth, or within the first year, and continues to affect the patient throughout their lifetime." I myself was diagnosed when I was 6 years old, and as annoying as it is being compared to a snake, fish, or any other creepy amphibious being, that is the right term to describe it. That aside, Ichthyosis—even mild types like Ichthyosis Vulgaris—are hard to manage and control. I am going to tell you how I manage my Ichthyosis and hope that it helps o...

Coconut oil has a bit of a craze surrounding it lately. People have put together hundreds of different uses for this beneficial oil and it’s found its way into pantries, medicine cupboards, and even first aid kits. Some of the uses may seem bizarre at first, but coconut oil has garnered this newfound fame for good reason. It works. For years, coconut oil has had a bad name, lumped in with unhealthy saturated fats . People steered away from it and other high fat foods . The problem with throwing coconut oil in the same category as butter, margarine, and shortening is this oil is far healthier than it appears. The saturated fats in coconut oil come from medium chain triglycerides . These shorter fat chains are easily put to use by the body and are not simply stored away as fat. This means coconut oil boosts energy levels , raises good cholesterol , and balances out blood sugar without the weight gain, cholesterol, and other health risks that come from other saturated or trans fats.
