  • How to get free money from the government with loans and grants

    How To Get Free Money From The Government

    3 Min Read

    If you’re looking to get funded for an idea, project or company, one of the easiest ways to do that is to get money from the government.

    The U.S. government awards tens of millions of dollars a year to Americans who apply and get accepted for loan and grant programs. Could you be the next awardee? Read on to find out how it works.

    How To Get Government Money

    In this article, we’re going to tell you how to get money from the government via loans and grants.

    Here Are the Best Grant Sites For Free Money

    How Do You Borrow Money From The Government?

    The way to get money from the government is to apply at the official federal website GovLoans.gov. This is a great resource that not only allows you to apply for loans but provides free information on how to fill out application forms and see monetary opportunities.

    GovLoans.gov has several categories that you can find loans in, including:

    • Agriculture
    • Anti-Violence Efforts
    • Anti-Hunger Efforts
    • Business
    • Disaster Relief
    • Education Efforts
    • Housing
    • Military Assistance and more.

    Instead of a loan, it’s best to see if you can get a grant, although you may only qualify for a free loan.

    What Is A Free Loan?

    A free loan is an arrangement that gives you money that you don’t have to pay back. The government may call it different things, primarily a grant.

    With a free loan, once you’re approved you won’t have to worry about paying interest or even an origination fee like most loans. That’s why it’s called a free loan.

    What Is The Easiest Government Loan To Get?

    The easiest loan to get is a student loan. Of the two most common students loans, the most popular is the Direct Loan, which is easy to qualify.

    The loans typically give you a 10-year grace period before you begin to pay for the loan, if you can’t get it forgiven by the government.

    Final Word

    Although the information is free to research, getting approved for.a government grant or loan is difficult in most cases. It takes a lot of time to complete the applications and you have to fit stringent requirements, but you can do it.

    If you have a good proposal you can get free money from the government.

    Best Hair Dye Colors To Use In 2022

    4 Min Read

    It’s time to add some color in your life. One way to do that is to change the color of your hair. With the right dye, it’s as easy as ever.

    This article is going to show you some great hair dyes to try.

    The way to choose is to know what kind of hair you have and what works with hit. In this article, we’re going to show you some of the best hair dyes to use so that you have the hues you want.

    What’s The Best Hair Dye To Use?

    When it comes to color, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But really, colors do different things to different people. So what you choose should be something that you feel looks good on you.

    Here are some of the best hair dyes on the market. We’ve added some reviews so that you can see what real people say about these hair products:

    1. Revlon ColorSilk Beautiful Color, Soft Black [11] 1 ea (Pack of 3)

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Revlon ColorSilk: “I love the soft black haircolor from Revlon! It covers well, looks natural not too black, stays in for along time. After coloring it makes ur hair feel nice and healthy without damage. It work for a cheap box of haircolor. I always used Revlon hair color for along time and it works just as good as the expensive brands. I highly recommend this.”
     

    2. L’oreal Paris Hair Color Feria Multi-faceted Shimmering Permanent Coloring

    Here’s what one reviewer says about L’oreal Paris Hair Color Feria: “So I’m a natural blonde who has been coloring their hair 1-2 shades lighter for about three years now. I’ve been unable to shake that brassy color even with using purple shampoo from Sephora. Cue this brand. I love it! I’m including before and after pictures!”
     

    3. Garnier Olia Bold Ammonia Free Permanent Hair Color

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Garner Olia permanent hair color:”I never review products, but reading all the negative reviews here made me feel that I had to write a review. First of all, this is the best hair dye I have ever used…it is comparable to the dye they were using at Ulta when I was getting my hair professionally done, except that I’m not paying $100 an application. The dye doesn’t smell great, but it is definitely preferable to the smell of other hair dyes. I have long, light brown hair that is thin and tends to be on the drier side. I dye it black every 4-6 weeks and I love the look!”
     

    4. Arctic Fox Vegan and Cruelty-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Color Dye (8 Fl Oz, PURPLE RAIN)

    Buy

    Here is what one reviewer says about Artic Fox Vegan hair color dye: “I had gray/white hair I was trying to grow out, but got sick of it. So I tried this color. Smells great. Left it on 1 hour. Did a great job coloring my hair, though a little uneven in spots. We’ll see how long it lasts. I typically only wash my hair 1 x a week because I have very curly dry hair. I love it and definitely recommend.”
     

    5. Keracolor Clenditioner Color Depositing Conditioner Colorwash – Instantly Infuse Color into Hair, 15 Colors | Cruelty Free

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Keracolor Clenditioner: “I know the warmth is different in each picture but I saw a huge difference. I am so happy how platinum this got my hair. I hate purple shampoos because they always leave that purple hue for a few days before you get the color you like. This works the same without the purple!!! Definitely will recommend it and will be buying more!!!”

    Final Word

    Coloring your hair shouldn’t be a long, drawn out thing. At least, if you have some good options. Make sure you use the best hair dye for your texture.

    The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month. 

    But you can do it yourself. All you need are some quality shears and some high-performance clippers to get the job done.  Check out our Beauty Page for other ways to get shaped up.

  • Angela Bassett in Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever filmed in Atlanta, Georgia

    Black Panther Sequel Back Filming Again After Stoppages

    4 Min Read

    Filming for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever has resumed once again after being shut down for a while in Atlanta. The last shutdown was reportedly due, to a COVID-19 outbreak among the cast members.

    According to IGN, several actors, including Lupita Nyong’o, tested positive, leading to a pause in production.

    The break, which lasted several days in accordance with COVID health protocols, came only days after the set resumed due to the holidays and serious injury to Letitia Wright, who suffered an on-set accident last fall.

    With all the stoppages, Black Panther 2 is still trying to regain its momentum to finish production in Atlanta.

    Nevertheless, the film continues to build excitement and looks to be yet another blockbuster movie for Marvel Studios.

    Meanwhile, the film’s storyline, as you know, has decided to steer clear of depicting Chadwick Boseman after his untimely passing in August 2020.

    One cast member, Angela Bassett has told media that there has been at least five different scripts for Black Panther 2.

    “I don’t know what it’s going to look like at all. There have been about five incarnations of the script and I hear another one’s coming. Of course, with our dear king going on to glory, a lot of things had to be shifted and changed, so thankfully, Ryan [Coogler] and Joe Robert Cole, they’re just such masterful storytellers that they’ve found a way into this world and hopefully it will be satisfying, I think, for the fans and it will be honorable of our Chad. We love our king.”

    Marvel Studios has revealed that Black Panther 2 will be released on July 8, 2022. The film also now has an official name: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

    What Is The Plot of Black Panther Sequel?

    One of the biggest surprises we’ve learned so far is that Narcos star Tenoch Huerta has been cast as Namor and that the plot involves the Sub-Mariner’s home of Atlantis. But whether he’s a villain or not remains to be seen.

    As for what the plot will be, a logline has already leaked online, courtesy of The DisInsider. Here’s what it says:

    Both Wakanda and Atlantis are hidden civilizations with advanced technology and increased militaristic abilities that decided to separate themselves from the rest of the world for their own safety, and in a way, out of fear.
