Let’s play a game: what natural product is not only hailed as a superfood for health benefits but also the answer to nearly all beauty topics? You guessed it–coconut oil! Coconut oil is the queen of all oils, and can seemingly do no wrong. Not only is the oil great for cooking, but it is the answer to many problems such as dry and irritated skin, stubborn eye makeup, damaged cuticles, and our very favorite: hair care!

I have personally had issues with a dry scalp which has seemingly been a recurring problem even with using traditional treatment. However, coconut oil has made a drastic difference for me since I started using it. Because of my success with using it, I wanted to share my enthusiasm with you, and hopefully, you’ll have a great story to tell as well. In this article, we’ll be discussing the variety of benefits of coconut oil on hair, giving thoughts on if coconut oil is bad for your hair and more!

What kind of coconut oil is best for your hair?

First off, let’s address whether coconut oil is bad for your hair. The answer is simple: no, it most certainly isn’t. Coconut oil can actually help boost the health of your hair, provide it with nourishment to heal damage, and moisturize your scalp as well. Coconut oil is completely natural and rich in fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Applying coconut oil to your hair is comparable to giving your face a nourishing spa treatment. It’s safe, and it’s effective!

When you are browsing store aisles for coconut oil, don’t let marketing catch you off-guard. There is no particular “kind” of coconut oil that is better for your skin, hair, and nails as opposed to what you’ll see advertised in the beauty or health aisles. As long as it is pure, 100% coconut oil, you’ll be good to go. Take a look around the food aisles instead, where you’ll likely find a large jar of coconut oil for far cheaper than in the beauty or health aisles. This will work just as well, considering the only difference is marketing and price.

Our suggestion would be to veer toward organic coconut oil so your skin and hair aren’t exposed to any of those damaging chemicals. My personal favorite coconut oil is the Spectrum organic and refined oil, simply because not only does it come in quite a large quantity, but as it is refined, it doesn’t smell or taste like coconut, which is great if you’ll be using it in various recipes as well–after all, a little goes a long way, so a container is bound to last a while.

How often should you put coconut oil in your hair?

You may be wondering if you can put coconut oil in your hair every day, and we’re happy to say that it can be applied as often as daily without any harm. Of course, it is an oil, so there is always the chance of it blocking your pores, which may cause the formation of acne. Because of this, daily use should be light while heavier uses should be followed with a shampoo treatment. It is quite a popular preference to use coconut oil as a hair mask at least once a month if not once a week.

To use coconut oil as a weekly or monthly hair mask, simply take about penny-sized amounts of oil, carefully rub it between your fingers to liquefy, and work it into your hair. Begin at your roots, being sure to massage your scalp as you go. Once your roots and scalp are covered, work the coconut oil down your hair strands, paying close attention to your dry ends. For daily use, you’ll want to use a much smaller amount to prevent your hair from feeling too oily.

The Benefits

Due to its popularity in beauty, you must be guessing by now that there are numerous benefits of coconut oil for hair treatment. The pros of applying coconut oil to your strands go much further than adding shine (though, who couldn’t use a little extra glow?), and extends to the health of your hair follicles themselves. The seemingly simple task of working coconut oil through your hair, tying it up in a bun, and covering it overnight with a disposable cap boosts your hair’s strength and resilience far more than you probably realize. Let’s take a look at these benefits.

1. Damaged Hair Nourishment

Split ends have to be the bane of all us attempting to grow our hair long. It seems like every time we turn around, we have to trim our hair again. Though we know this will eventually help nourish our hair more and produce greater length, the waiting game is a difficult one. Thankfully, that’s where coconut oil comes in. Coconut oil is enriched with vitamins, fatty acids, and protein–all of which are necessary for helping your hair’s growth. When you apply coconut oil to your hair, the oil penetrates your hair shaft down to the follicle, coating it with the fatty acids and protein it needs to repair any previous damage.

As the coconut oil helps with split ends, in time, hair growth is typically a visible result. Your trips to the hair stylist can be a little farther apart now that your split ends won’t be as much of an issue. Without the split ends, your hair strands will actually retain their length so you can see the hair growth! The hair growth factor is twofold, because coconut oil nourishes your roots as well, which will now have the nutrients they need to heal any damage, target weak areas, and put more focus into growing rather than reviving dead ends. Though coconut oil for hair loss has been speculated as effective, there aren’t any studies proving it. Of course, since it can help with hair growth, it doesn’t hurt to try.

To help your damaged hair, simply apply coconut oil as a hair mask before bed, both ensuring your strands are covered as well as your massaged scalp. Cover with a hair cap and wash with shampoo in the morning. As always, follow the shampoo with a high-quality conditioner to lock in the moisture provided overnight by the oil.

2. Dandruff Treatment

Dandruff isn’t necessarily considered hair damage, but rather simply an affliction which many people experience. If you have ever had or perhaps even currently struggle with dandruff, then you know it can be a real issue. Not only does everyone who happens to see it or hear about it makes assumptions about your hygiene, but it feels like no one understands. Meanwhile, you’re dealing with an itchy scalp and flakes on your clothing. It’s not something you can help, and despite your best efforts, dandruff shampoo, at best, tends to just keep the problem at bay.

Dandruff is caused by a variety of different issues and opposed to what the vast majority of people think, it’s not always caused by a fungus. It can be, but it can also be from harsh chemicals and dry skin conditions. To help minimize the stress that dandruff brings, try treating it with coconut oil. With all its hydrating properties of rich fatty acids and vitamins, it makes sense that coconut oil could be a great contender for dandruff treatment. Most people may think of it only as an aid for your hair itself, however, it can greatly improve scalp health as well with its antibacterial and antifungal abilities. Additionally, it is rich in antioxidants which aid in keeping free radicals at bay–and yes, that’s even important for your scalp despite how densely it is covered with hair. Coconut oil has actually been used for hundreds of years to help with treating dandruff.

As with all natural treatments, using coconut oil to help your dandruff won’t exactly produce overnight results, but you should start seeing a difference in a couple of weeks.

3. Relieve Infant Cradle Cap

If coconut can work wonders with dandruff, then could it help with your baby’s cradle cap? According to bellybelly.com.au, the answer is a resounding yes! Though many natural substances still require caution when being applied to infants, coconut oil is generally deemed as safe. To be sure, check with your physician prior to use. Though there hasn’t been complete studies to attest to the safety of coconut oil when used on infants and toddlers, it also doesn’t seem like there have been any recorded adverse issues either.  Therefore, if you do feel comfortable with giving coconut oil to your infant, there are many potential benefits. One of the major ways coconut oil can help your baby is with relieving their cradle cap. With coconut oil’s richly hydrating properties, it can be effective at treating cradle cap and preventing it from recurring.

To use it for cradle cap, rub a dab of coconut oil into your baby’s scalp, gently massaging, and leave it to sit for about twenty minutes. Once the time is up, wipe away the excess oil with a cloth and use a soft brush to comb through their hair, removing any remaining skin flakes. Repeat as needed, though hopefully with continued uses, the need for treatments will lessen.

4. Hair Conditioner

Whether you are on a coconut oil kick, forgot to pick up more conditioner, or you’d simply just like to see how it works out, this oil can be used in place of your regular conditioner! Typically, coconut oil is used as a deep or leave-in conditioner, oftentimes overnight, however, it can also be used shorter-term as well.

After shampooing as usual, start with about a nickel-sized amount of oil, and begin working it into your strands. Begin at your roots as you would with your usual conditioner and initially focus on just massaging it into your scalp. Once you’ve massaged your entire scalp, start pulling the oil through the rest of your hair, being sure to cover it all. If needed, use more oil, especially if you want to hydrate your dry ends. Leave it in for the rest of your shower, and thoroughly rinse at the end. Your hair may even be shinier than usual after this treatment!

5. Hair Detangler

Coconut oil is, after all an oil, which means it will work quite well for getting out tangles, knots, and snarls! If you’ve ever combed your hair after letting coconut oil sit as a hair mask, you’ll know there truly aren’t any tangles to struggle through. The same concept applies to using coconut oil as a hair detangler, though with a far lighter application. A small amount goes a long way, so you’ll want to be extra careful with this approach as it’s very apparent if you use too much coconut oil on dry hair. If you use too much, odds are your hair will end up weighed down and greasy.

To detangle your hair, start with a minuscule amount of oil. You can even slide a finger along the side of the jar to ensure you don’t grab too much. Rub the oil between your fingers and sparingly work it through the tangled areas. I would avoid using it in any other areas of your dry hair or there is a chance your hair will end up oily. Focus on working out those tangles with the oil on your fingers, and you should be able to brush through them in no time. Another tip: brush from your ends to your roots to help get tangles out. Brushing from the roots down will merely aggravate them.

There is, however, a second option for detangling your hair if you are concerned about the risk of making your hair greasy by rubbing oil directly on the strands. If you have an empty spray bottle, you can dilute the coconut oil by mixing one tablespoon of oil with about a cup of water. This will easily spray on your tangled areas and greasy hair will no longer be an issue.

6. Tame Frizz

If you’re like me and deal with frizzy hair on a daily basis, then know you’re not alone. Frizzy hair is such a frustration, often ending with a basic hairstyle of a ponytail or bun because it’s otherwise unmanageable. Even at that point, however, frizzy flyaways are still an issue! Without loads of hairspray, it seems like they just can’t be tamed. Product after product on the shelves claim success with frizz, and yet, we all know most of them are a joke. Tame this frizz? Probably not happening.

This is one of the reasons why I love to use coconut oil on my hair: it truly does tame frizz and flyaways. The fatty acids in the coconut oil nourish your hair and help make each affected strand more manageable.

To unlock this benefit, shampoo and condition your hair as usual. After towel drying, comb through your hair and identify the trouble flyaway areas. With less than one-fourth of a teaspoon of coconut oil, warm it between your palms until it melts. Using your fingertips, smooth down the flyaways and the trouble frizz sections. The key here is to hardly even touch your hair; with light hands, just smooth the flyaways. Try not to touch the rest of your hair to prevent oily, weighed down strands.

7. Scalp Massage Oil

Who could go for a scalp massage right about now? I certainly know I could, pretty much anytime, any place! Though scalp massages are the best way to usher in relaxation, this luxury often brings with it frizz and static in your hair. Don’t let that stop you though because coconut oil is a fantastic scalp massage oil. There are numerous oils on the market aimed for massages, but they are typically overpriced and underwhelming. We already know how coconut oil can help with scalp dryness, dandruff, hair damage, hair growth, and stimulates follicles, so why not use it as a massage oil? Though it solidifies at room temperature, it instantly melts at the touch, which makes it ideal for keeping down on the static during a massage.

Our suggestion for using coconut oil truly depends on your purpose for it. If you have the time and availability for a hair mask in your schedule, feel free to use as much oil as you’d like for the massage, and then just work it through the rest of your hair as a mask. However, if you’re aiming for only a massage and not a mess of oily hair, use the coconut oil sparing. Again, try just dabbing a little from the side of the jar.

We hope you enjoyed this list of benefits and uses of coconut oil for your hair! Please let us know in the comments what you liked the most or how you think you’ll use coconut oil for your own hair!

I have personally been at the point where I felt like I have tried all the products under the sun for treating my dry scalp and frizzy hair, which made coconut oil such a fantastic option for me when I heard about it. I didn’t need to look any further than my own kitchen for the answer and I could save money while I was at it!

Keep in mind that each person reacts to products differently and these benefits may work for one person, but not the next. It truly has made such a difference for me, so I hope it does for you as well. If you found this article helpful, please feel free to share it with your friends!

Painted Lashes by Dior Makeup Creative and Image Director Peter Phillips

Dior Painted Lashes

While some backstage artists chose to coat lashes in sparkling glitter this spring season (remember Toga?), one artful take on putting eye fringe front and center completely skipped touching the actual lash hairs. At the Christian Dior Couture show, Dior Makeup creative and image director Peter Phillips played surrealist, painting two long lash lines outside of models’ eye lines that sprouted spidery inked lashes. If you think you’ve seen this before, you’re correct: Last fall fashion season, NARS UK makeup ambassador Andrew Gallimore drew lashes directly on models’ skin at the Isa Arfen show that resembled “the skeletal structure in a leaf.” While your clients likely seek your expertise to plump up their true lashes rather than paint on a second set, these daring looks could provide an alluring alternative for lash lovers who need to take a break from extensions or even mascara.

Choose the Safely and Gently Cleaning Ear Canal at Home

Cleaning out your ears with a cotton swab, ear Pick or finger is a bad idea. A very bad idea. You might pick up a tiny amount of ear wax with the swabs as you smear it around but the bulk of the wax just gets compacted and jammed further into the outer ear canal. In fact, cotton swabs just make the problem worse. The swab works just like a trash compactor in your ear, jamming and compacting, jamming and compacting. Pretty soon, it’s time to go to the doctor to undo the damage you've done.

Default Madman in Chief

The recent issue of Newsweek included a review of a bizarre new book of psychiatric case studies by Nassir Chaemi titled, "A First Rate Madness." The provocative and spooky thesis is that great leadership is not characterized by a "splendidly healthy mind, but an exceptionally broken one." The author proposes that mood disorders, like depression and mania bring clear-eyed perception and resilience to a leader. In support of his opinions that madness is a close relative of genius, and that crazy leaders are often too sane for their time, the author provides an illustrative list of political and business leaders. Conspicuously missing from this book are the paranoid, sociopathic, and psychopathic figures of Hitler and Stalin. Stating that George W. Bush was "too normal" to deal with the September 11 attacks, raises serious questions about the author's judgement. Perhaps the author, director of the Mood Disorder Program at Tufts University, needs to get out a little more often.

I Will Not Be Shaken - Memory Verse

I Will Not Be Shaken - Memory Verse
I can safely say, we've all been disappointed when we've placed hope in earthly things. Today's memory verse - Psalm 63:5-6, from the Bible - is for the times I need hope that is secure.

I walked into the hospital and asked directions to the correct corridor and room. I'd come for the tests my doctor had ordered. Nothing serious -
probably. I'd placed my confidence in my physician. She said it was only a precaution. I placed my hope in her judgement. Still, I felt a little shaky about the findings.

While waiting my turn, I thought back to the days I had accompanied my husband to various doctor appointments and labs. I was his encouragement, support while he waited for an unknown prognosis. That?s what we?d vowed to do. Support one another. Lean on each other.

I had confidence, when it was my turn, my husband would be at my side. I counted on him to encourage and support me through any crisis. But things didn't go the way I'd hoped. Now he was in the presence of the Lord, while I sat in the waiting room alone. I admit to feeling a bit shaky.

    Throughout life I've placed my confidence, my hope, in various strong authority figures.
  • Parents Children begin by placing their hope there. I grew up. They grew old. Some children learn early on they can't place hope in parents. Sometimes parents aren't reliable. Sometimes not kind, not supportive.

  • Government I've learned that government officials will disappoint me, even when my favorite official is in office. Being frail, sinful people like the rest of us, they will stumble.

  • The church It's easy to but too much hope, too much confidence in a spiritual leader. They may have dedicated their lives to serving the Lord, but they're still frail, sinful people. I learned I can't put my hope in the leaders of a denomination or even my local church. Leaders disappoint, no matter how well-meaning.

What can I depend on? There is one stable, reliable place of hope.

In Psalm 62:5-6, David, who knew what it was like to be disappointed in government, in friends, and in family, wrote he would wait for God alone. David?s hope was from God. God was his rock and salvation.
  • Rock - someone who is extremely strong, reliable, unmovable, foundational, supportive

  • Salvation - to save, help in distress, rescue, deliver, set free
    With God as his rock, David proclaimed "I will not be shaken."

Hebrews 13:6 gives God's promise. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." And a reminder "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear, what can man do to me?"

With this promise, I'll rise every morning with the memory verse. "I will not be shaken!"

With today being Halloween, I thought I would share some ghost stories about some of the places we have talked about in the blog.

So gather around for some stories I found from the Central Rappahannock Regional Library in Fredericksburg.

If you dare….

(From our blog: This was the location of the dual between cousins – Posting Family Feud – published in June)

Fredericksburg, Virginia

Chatham was built in 1771 by William Fitzhugh and named after his classmate, Sir William Pitt, Earl of Chatham. The Georgian mansion became noted for its owner’s hospitality during colonial times, but played an even more significant role during the Civil War when it served as a Union headquarters. Walt Whitman and Clara Barton nursed the Union wounded there.

High on a bluff overlooking the Rappahannock River and the city of Fredericksburg stands Chatham. The mansion has hosted many important people, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and the Marquis de Lafayette. The spectral apparition haunting the estate is none of these illustrious figures, however. The ghost of Chatham is an English girl who returns in memory of a lost love. Dressed all in white, she walks upon her favorite path at the estate in fulfillment of a deathbed vow.

She was brought to Chatham by her father, who wished to sever the young woman’s romance with an English drysalter. Despite the enjoyable social life of the Virginia estate, the girl pined for her lover. The young drysalter followed her to America, however, and the lovers secretly planned their elopement. Finally the chosen night arrived. The young man silently moored a boat on the Rappahannock and cautiously placed a ladder against his love’s window. But instead of climbing down into the arms of her beloved, the young woman found herself enveloped by General George Washington. A guest at Chatham at the time, the general was informed of the elopement plans by a servant.

Washington had the drysalter arrested on that fateful night, and returned the girl to her father’s custody. Taken back to England by her father, the girl ultimately married someone of a more suitable social standing. But she never forgot her true love or the events at Chatham, and vowed to walk her favorite path on the anniversary of her death.

Several visitors and residents of Chatham have watched the English woman as she makes her anniversary journey on the path now known as Ghost Walk. Always seen between noon and midnight, the lady in white has visited Chatham once every seven years since her death on June 21, 1790.

(From our blog: This is one of the Historic Homes we have visited – Posting Kenmore Plantation – published in September)

Kenmore Plantation

Kenmore was built in 1752 by Col. Fielding Lewis for his bride, Betty Washington Lewis, only sister of George Washington. One of the most successful planters in Fredericksburg, Lewis lost part of his fortune when Virginia’s government failed to reimburse him for financing the Fredericksburg Arms Manufactory during the Revolutionary War. Lewis died in 1782 and the estate was eventually sold out of the family. The Georgian mansion and gardens are now restored to their colonial splendor, and one of its rooms is considered to be among “The 100 Most Beautiful Rooms in America”.

Betty Washington Lewis
sister of George Washington

Some people say the ghost of Fielding Lewis is haunted by his financial problems. Other theorize he returns to Kenmore simply because he cannot bear to leave his beautiful plantation – even in death.

Fielding Lewis

No one can be sure why Col. Lewis haunts his 18th century estate, but that he often returns cannot be denied. From the sound of heavy footsteps echoing through empty halls to fireplace andirons mysteriously crashing to the floor, Lewis has made his ghostly presence known to many visitors to the mansion. And Kenmore’s former master has been seen as well as heard.

His apparition usually appears in an upstairs bedchamber where Lewis attended to business matters. There the ghostly Lewis, attired in Revolutionary clothes, has been seen standing and reading a document he holds in his hands. The Colonel has also been seen in the same room, busily studying his accounts, with a look of deep concern in his eyes.
A man who sacrificed his fortune to the cause of American independence, Col. Fielding Lewis may still be troubled by his financial difficulties, as he wanders the rooms of his beloved estate.

Mannsfield Plantation
in ruins after the Civil War

This 18th century stone mansion survived more than a century o f American change and turmoil until it was burned accidentally by Confederate forces during the Civil War. It was built in 1749 by Mann Page, a delegate to the House of Burgesses. The Mannsfield property adjoins the Fredericksburg Country Club, which is not open to the public.

“The South Will Rise Again,” is a familiar saying. But for the Confederate soldiers who haunt Mannsfield, the South never died. During the Civil War, Mannsfield was occupied by both Union and Confederate forces. The estate served as hospital and headquarters for both armies at different times. But it is the ghostly men in gray who return to haunt Mannsfield. Several nearby residents have sighted the apparitions of the Confederate soldiers as they congregate beneath the estate’s large trees.

The greatest number of ghostly visits occurred, however, while a clairvoyant woman was living in a nearby home. Regularly, the woman saw the uniformed men as they stood guard, tended to their horses, or cared for wounded soldiers. Perhaps these spectral Confederates who still haunt Mannsfield are awaiting the resurrection of the South.

(From our blog: This is the tavern across the street from the Schooler House B&B – Posting Weekend at the Plantation – published in August)

The Rising Sun Tavern

The Rising Sun Tavern recreates tavern life of the 18th century, when a tavern was the center of colonial life. Built in 1760 by George Washington’s brother, Charles, as a home, the building began its role of a tavern in 1792. It served as the city’s post office and stage coach stop. Originally known as the Eagle Tavern among the most patriotic symbols of early America, the tavern continued to operate under several keepers until 1827, when its liquor license was revoked.

Charles Washington
Brother of George Washington

Although its days of challenging and lively political discussions and games of cards and chess over pints of ale are past, the Rising Sun Tavern is still a lively historic attraction and its ghostly inhabitant maintains the spirit of cheer and mischief that once thrived at the tavern. For instance, one tavern guide found that the ghost delighted in unplugging the lights in an upstairs room. Tired of having to replug the cords, she finally cried, “Come on now, stop it!” As she turned to leave the room, the guide suddenly felt herself slipping to the floor as the tavern ghost pulled the rug out from under her. The lights remained plugged in the rest of the day, however.

Another hostess was coming down the stairs early one morning when she felt something tugging at the hem of her dress. She looked to see if her colonial gown was caught on something, but found nothing amiss. As she tried to proceed down the steps, however, she felt herself held tightly in place. Long a believer that the tavern’s ghost was its last owner, John Frazier, she exclaimed, “All right, John, let go!” Immediately she felt herself freed as the ghost let go of her dress hem.

Evidently the ghost is a playful apparition, for he delights in pulling the mob caps from the tavern hostesses’ heads. He also moves objects, such as candles, from their regular storage places. The tavern ghost may also be filled with the Christmas spirit since he delights in pulling his pranks during the holiday season.

Stratford Hall

Stratford Plantation
Historic Haunts

This is the family plantation of the Lee Family and Robert E. Lee. Last weekend I attended their Historic Haunts event on Saturday. It was open to people of all ages. With spooky games for the kids, food and drink and a ghost tour of the Great House, fun was to be had by all.

I was on the first ghost tour at twilight. Our tour guide was a kind gentleman dressed in colonial wear. He guided us around the grounds of the Great House and through it with our flashlights as the only source of light. Along the way we met up with other staff dressed in either colonial wear or costumes that wouldn’t be too scary for the young ones.

The stories we heard told of ghostly appearances of men, women and children that called this grand plantation home. After a walk through the Great House and boxwood garden, our tour ended at the family cemetery vault, which no longer has remains in it. It was a great time hearing the stories and seeing the plantation as the sun disappeared.

Once I returned to Belle Grove Plantation, I had a surprise waiting for me on my cell phone. During the first story, just before entering the house, I decided to video tape the guide telling the story of the ghostly visitors of Stratford Hall. Brett had not been able to attend and I wanted him to see what I got to see.

When I played the video on my phone, the tape started out fine. It was nice and clear, in full color. As the story moved along, the color of the video seemed to go to a gray color. It started out light at first. Then all of a sudden it when completely gray. But what was surprising was that the video started jumping around as if something was cause some kind of electrical disturbance. As suddenly as it came, it left.

So what could it have been?

Did one of the ghostly visitors walk in front of my cell phone as I taped the guide?

Who knows. But it does make you wonder.

  1. Rusha Sams Says:

    Ghost tours are quite popular with B&Bs and historic homes. I’ve conducted the Ghosts and Ghouls Tour in Knoxville sponsored by Blount Mansion ( a couple of times. We have a great turnout! You might consider doing the same with Belle Grove!

  2. Thank you! We have given it thought already. Next year we hope to have something of that sort available.

  3. vanbraman Says:

    Interesting to see the name Fielding Lewis . My ancestor Fielding Turner (1706-1794) married an Anne Lewis. Perhaps Fielding Lewis was a nephew or cousin.

  4. Could be. Or maybe you are related to Turner family of Belle Grove.

  5. terry1954 Says:

    I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee ghost stories. Thanks for this great gift!!!!

  6. You are so welcome….boo!

  7. Patricia Temples Says:

    I have shared your blog with an artist friend of mine who lives in Madison County on Firnew Farm, once owned by the Conways. Take a look at our blog: FirnewFarmArtistsCircle which is linked on mine. A group of us meet weekly to create, share and critique art.

  8. Thank you! We love art shows! We will have to see if we can connect and visit!

  9. Thanks for the Halloween “treats”!

  10. You are welcome! Booo!

  11. I love ghost stories too! Thanks for the Halloween chills 🙂

    Reblogged this on Welcome to Hakes' Virtual Cafe and commented:
    Today’s Winner for Ghost stories and their “History”! Awesome for Hallow’s Eve Reading!

  14. Thank you so much! What an honor! We hope next year to have some of our own stories from Belle Grove to add! I would think after 342 years as a plantation we might have at least one! 😉 Thank you for sharing us with your readers! We can’t tell you how much it means to us!

  15. hakesplace Says:

    You are very welcomed! 🙂

  16. sweetaddict Says:

    Great ghost stories, I could read those all day…or night…Happy Halloween!

  17. You are welcome! I love a good ghost story too! Boo!

  18. Years ago when I was a docent at Gunston Hall we sold a little book entitled “Virginia Ghosts.” Don’t know if it is in print anymore, but very interesting.

    I do enjoy your posts about places i know like Kenmore. I graduatd from MWC so the buildings in F’burg are familiar.

  19. I have seen that book and even read some of it! You will be glad to know you will see more of Kenmore as we work to become partners with the historic places around us!

  20. Lori Says:

    Just a few corrections on Kenmore. Kenmore was built around 1769 and the Lewis family moves into the house in 1775. Fielding Lewis died in December 1781.

  21. Thank you! The information was copied directly from the Central Rappahannock Library site so I didn’t make any corrections.

  22. David Says:

    Nice treat for Halloween.

    About your photo of the “brown” lady”, it’s quite interesting.The good ghost hunters (like on Ghost Adventures) would try to debunk the photo first. If they can’t, then you’ve got a good piece of evidence.

  23. You are welcome! We don’t have anything like that at Belle Grove…yet 😉

  24. colmel Says:

    Another post that was very enjoyable. I love historic “hauntings!” I’ve actually been through a couple myself. Michelle, you may be able to tell us your own story about your Plantation after you get settled. I just can’t help but believe that there is something going on there with regard to your mysterious window etching. There’s a story there waiting to be told.

  25. You know, I know that there is a story there too.We have been working hard to uncover it. Maybe soon we will have a few spooky stories to tell too. 😉

  26. Love it. Have just gotten back from taking our son trick-or-treating and now feel as though the spirits of days gone by are eerily drifting past. Thanks for sharing.

  27. You are so welcome! Our kids are all grown so we don’t do trick or treat any more. We miss it. Maybe some day at the plantation we can have our own trick or treat event for the kids!

  28. Wonderful stories! I love hearing about the ghost stories of all the historic homes. Happy Halloween!

  29. You are so welcome! Boo!

  30. Great info about Virginia ghosts. When we were in Williamsburg last spring, they did a great night tour of the houses that had ghosts associated with them. It was spooky and fun. Happy Halloween!

  31. We have been there and seen the ghost tours moving around Williamsburg. I haven’t been on it yet, but it looks like a lot of fun.

  32. talkavino Says:

    Great stories! Thanks for sharing!

  33. You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by! Boo!

  34. pommepal Says:

    Ilove a good spooky ghost story,and finishing with your mysterious video was a good ending.

  35. Thank you! It was really kind of fun about the video. Maybe we will have some good stories of Belle Grove some day. I mean 342 years as a plantation, you would like we would have at least one! 😉

  36. pommepal Says:

    I’m sure there will be, what an incredibly interesting place. Most places in Australia have less than 150 years of European history.

  37. emmegmel Says:

    I love anything ghost!! fun to read!

  38. Thank you! It was fun to read! Maybe some day we will have some stories to share about Belle Grove 😉

  39. LOVED this post! Thanks. Happy Halloween 🙂

Selling Your Luxury Home

Luxury Real Estate Trends Bend OregonThe Central Oregon Real Estate market changes when we talk about luxury real estate. If you have a high end property to sell, it is important that marketing it is optimized to the right buyer. In fact, the more expensive the home, the more you need an experienced luxury broker who understands how to appeal to this subset of buyers who may have a lot of money to spend, but also can have high expectations.

Fortunately, there has been a huge increase in the demand for Bend luxury homes in recent years. When Bend Premier Real Estate (BPRE) first opened its doors in January of 2011, a home selling for more than one million dollars was rare and considered a pretty big deal. However, in 2018 we started to see some real changes in the sale of luxury properties with the biggest demand surge coming with the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. In 2020 Bend Luxury Home sales spiked thanks to technologies like Zoom and ToGoMeeting and the ability to live and work from anywhere there was an internet connection. For this new Zoom generation, Bend became the obvious new hot spot due to amazing lifestyle options. What is not shown in this chart is that luxury sales in the past 10 years have gone from an insignificant segment of the Bend Real Estate market, to over 10 percent of total sales today.

Overall, these market trends are important, but in order to sell your luxury home for top dollar in the quickest amount of time it is important that you do two things: 1) Make sure you are working with a real estate agent and real estate brokerage that is knowledgeable and experienced in the luxury real estate market, and 2) make sure your luxury home is staged and ready for sale if you want to win over the more discernable luxury buyer. Here are a few tips for selling your luxury home that can give you an edge over the competition.

Work with an Experienced Luxury Real Estate Agent

When selling your luxury home, it's important that you align with a Realtor® that understands and has experience in the luxury real estate market. Every real estate agent has their specialty, but it takes many years as a luxury agent to truly understand the ins-and-outs of successfully marketing and selling luxury real estate. If you do not have a Bend Premier Broker to work with, please feel free to contact Lynnea Miller, the owner and Managing Principal Broker at (541) 771-6390 and she will help align you with an experienced agent that most closely matches your particular needs.

Associate with a Luxury Real Estate Brokerage

Bend Premier Real Estate is a proud member of the prestigious Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate, a compendium of the world's finest luxury real estate brokerages, which have been leading the luxury real estate industry since 1986. Each real estate brokerage is carefully selected for inclusion into Who's Who in Luxury Real Estate based on their commitment to a high level of professionalism, performance, and quality service in luxury real estate. This hand-selected group represents more than 130,000 professionals, representing properties in 70 countries, and having collective sales of over 300 billion dollars annually, makes it the most elite and comprehensive luxury real estate network in the world.

Market your Luxury Home Properly

luxuryrealestate.comAccording to the latest NAR Home Buyer Trends Report, 97% of all home buyers are searching online for homes often weeks before contacting a real estate agent to represent them. Additionally, searching online and their real estate agent are the two main ways buyers find the home they eventually purchase. As an independent brokerage not bound by the marketing requirements of the corporate franchises, we have been way ahead of the curve when it comes to marketing our properties online, part of which includes showcasing our luxury home listings on, the #1 portal for luxury real estate in the world. But we also reach out directly to over 1500 of the top real estate agents in Central Oregon with our luxury listing email marketing blasts. Your Bend Premier Agent will put together a complete marketing plan that is developed for the specific needs of your luxury property.

Staging Your Home

Having your home staged and ready to sell on day 1 is especially true in the luxury housing market, where buyers tend to be more discerning and have higher expectations than with lower priced homes. Part of this includes making sure prospective buyers can picture themselves living there as luxury homes are often customized to a particular owner's needs. Your Bend Premier Broker can help guide you through this process and provide valuable advice when it comes to highlighting your home's best features. Staging a home can be an overwhelming and difficult thing to do, so your real estate agent can also help line you up with a professional stager if situations call for this. According to the 2021 NAR Profile of Home Staging report, "Eighty-two percent of buyers’ agents said staging made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home."

Photography and 3D Tours

There are numerous studies that show that listings with quality professional photography get more online views, sell for a higher price, and sell faster than those without. For our luxury listings, our Bend Premier Agents invest in high quality professional photography along with utilizing one of our experienced in-house Matterport technicians to create an amazing 3D Tour of your property. Having lots of imagery is important with both great photos and a 3D Open House Tour, especially when dealing with more distant feeder markets such as San Francisco, Seattle, and Southern California. When online, you only have a couple of seconds to make a great first impression.

Bend Real Estate Wine CellarBranding Your Home

One of the key elements of selling anything in a competitive marketplace is to build a distinct identity for that product, and the same goes for your luxury home. Your Bend Premier Broker can help you identify and highlight your home's unique high-value features that make your home special such as a custom wine cellar or indoor pool. Or perhaps your home has a unique architectural style or location right on the river. One should not assume that a home speaks for itself and buyers will automatically notice these features. Rather, these unique selling points should be highlighted in photographs and written marketing materials in order to attract buyers.

The real estate market is different when selling a luxury home. If you would like to talk with a Bend Premier Broker who specializes in the Bend luxury market, you can contact the owner and Managing Principal Broker Lynnea Miller at (541) 771-6390, or fill in the contact form below and we will get back with you asap.

Be Burns Aware

Burn & Scald accidents can be horrific and very painful. They not only cause physical injuries but can often result in psychological trauma. This can be particularly true for young people who often struggle with body image and self confidence.

Support For Burns Survivors

The Scottish Burned Children’s Club is an organisation that support burns survivors. They came on a residential to Bendrigg this year with the aim to :

  • Bring burns survivors together so they don’t feel alone in what they are going through.
  • Provide opportunities to make new friends and relax in an environment where they feel safe and comfortable.
  • Through trying new activities and facing fears they overcome things independently and with the support of others, building confidence and trust in relationships with the people around them.
  • Burns survivors can often have intensive periods of medical treatment, operations and other procedures. An annual camp is a great chance for everyone to let loose and have fun again!

Our latest video in the Adventure For All Series follows the Scottish Burned Children’s Club on their week residential at Bendrigg. It’s amazing to see all the participants growing in confidence as they face their fears and take on new challenges, and is such a positive step forward to helping them rebuild their self esteem. They also had such a lot of fun, experiencing all that a residential and the great outdoors has to offer!

I don’t think our burns are what make us unique, it’s just who we are. It’s a mark that’s part of who we are and where we came from – Craig, SBCC

Burns Awareness and Prevention

Did You Know…

Prevention and good first aid are key to reducing the number of burns and scalds occurring in the UK every single day.

  • 7071 Children were seriously burned or scalded in 2018
  • Young children and the elderly are most vulnerable
  • The majority of accidents occur as a result of an accident that could easily be prevented
  • Scalds from Hot Drinks are the most common burn injury to children
  • Electric Hobs, Hair Straighteners, Bowl Spills, Irons & Fireworks are some of the other common causes of serious burns and scalds.

Take Care This Festive Season…

Watching fireworks is great fun. But taking care is important especially as children are more likely to get hurt by fireworks than adults. Here are some simple things that can help to reduce the risk to your family.

Sparkler Safety

Children under five are too young to safely hold a sparkler and don’t really understand why they might be dangerous. Avoid giving them one to hold.

Babies or Children can wriggle in your arms and reach out unexpectedly. Avoid holding a baby or child when you have a sparkler in your hand.

Children over five will still need you to supervise them when they use sparklers. It’s safest if they wear gloves when they’re holding them. They might seem like “fireworks lite” but sparkles can reach a temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius! Have a bucket of water handy to put them in so that no-one can pick up a hot one off the ground. Teach them not to wave sparklers near anyone else or run with them.

Remember… Always hold sparklers at arms length & wear gloves when handling them, follow the age guidance above and always put sparklers in a bucket of water when they go out so that no-one an pick a hot one off the ground.

Firework Safety

Most firework injuries happen at family parties or private displays, so understanding the dangers of fireworks can prevent injuries and in some cases save lives.

  • Avoid wearing loose or potentially flammable clothing
  • Always wear gloves when handling sparklers and fireworks
  • Always have buckets of water ready to put out small fires or to cool sparklers
  • Make sure children are supervised around fireworks and bonfires
  • Never drink alcohol if you’re setting off fireworks
  • Keep animals indoors and close curtains – frightened animals running around can cause accidents
  • Only purchase fireworks that are sold by a registered seller
  • Follow instructions carefully and light fireworks at arm’s length
  • Ensure spectators stand back from bonfires and fireworks
  • Never go back to a firework that has been lit – even if it hasn’t gone off

First Aid Advice – The 3 C’s

  1. COOL the burn with a running cold tap water for 20 minutes and remove all clothing and jewellery (unless it is melted or firmly stuck to the wound)
  2. CALL for help 999
  3. COVER with clingfilm or a sterile non-fluffy dressing or cloth. Making sure the injured person is kept warm.

Don’t… burst blisters or apply creams or lotions.

Measuring the Sustainability Performance of Our Decisions

The Best Practice Price Sustainability Metrics

  • 1 Best Practice Price Foundation
Restricted access

Private and societal costs have their origin in the classic and neo-classic era. The market, based on private costs, ignores externalities, while actors fail to gain access to information on societal costs, causing a gap. The best practice price (BPP), a sustainability metric, can fill this information gap. Based on science and the weighted opinions of stakeholders, best practices for basic production factors such as land, labor, and natural resources are identified and their costs calculated. Producers can use these data to calculate the BPP of their products. Besides the market price (the price to be paid), the BPP is mentioned on the invoice and price tag as representing the costs of production according to the best practices. The ratio of market price (MP) to the BPP ‒ the BP ratio (BPR) – makes comparison of different products possible. Using the BPR, producers, public entities, and consumers can set goals for sustainable production or consumption.

Why People Buy and Sell Bernal Heights Real Estate

Aerial view of bernal heights

We all know the reasons that people buy a home — more space, more freedom, swapping rent payments for equity — but the reasons why Bernal Heights homeowners sell their homes can be more complicated… right? Not quite! In fact, the reasons a Bernal Heights homeowner might sell their home boil down to six simple points: the six “D’s.”

You undoubtedly know some of the six D’s already, but first let’s test your real estate IQ, if you don’t mind. I bet you do know the three most important things in determining the price of real estate. Sure you do! Let me jog your memory and give you the first one: location. Yes, location is the first and most important thing to ask in real estate. Where is the property located?

How about the second and third most important factors involved in pricing a property? Give up? Number two is location, and — drum-roll please — number three is… location! Yes, the three most important factors in establishing the value of a property are location, location, location. Sound familiar? Of course, other factors certainly come into play, but the point of repeating the word “location” three times is to emphasize that the true value of a property — the real property, the land, not the house itself — is based on where it is located more than anything else. Structures are built, they age, they are repaired and replaced, but the land is forever. That’s price in a nutshell.

So how about selling? Do you think you know why real estate is put on the market? Can you pinpoint the “six D’s” of real estate? Let’s try to do this together. This time there’s no gimmick (the same word doesn’t repeat six times), but each word does start with the letter D. They are easy.

Reasons to Sell: The Six D’s

1. The first reason a property is put on the market is Death. When a death occurs, many times the house is sold, or at least the option of selling is considered. Death is unfortunately a very difficult time in life, but it’s one we all must face with our loved ones.

2. The second D is Divorce. Again, this is an emotionally stressful time. A divorcing couple will often choose to sell rather than negotiate for one party to stay in the property.

3. The third D is Disability, yet another difficult situation. Homeowners facing disability are often met with the very challenging prospect of selling in order to find more suitable accommodations.

4. The fourth D is Decrease in Income. This can be due to many things, including the loss of a job, a cut in pay, one spouse quitting to stay at home with the kids, and so on. The inability to keep up with expenses is another major reason why homeowners might put their home on the market.

5. The fifth D is Distance. This can mean that there is too great of a distance between the homeowner and a new job, between the homeowner and a child or grandchild, or between the homeowner and sunshine! When a homeowner decides that there is too great a distance between their home and happiness, it’s time to put the home on the market.

6. The sixth and final reason for a property being listed for sale is Default. A default occurs when mortgage payments have become too difficult to handle. This can sometimes be related to any of the first five D’s, including loss of a job, a health crisis, death or divorce. Upon default, a property is typically sold on the market via a short sale, or even lost in foreclosure.

That’s all six D’s! How did you do? Did you guess them all? I’m sure you got at least a few.

Think about all your friends, family, and colleagues who have sold a home. Chances are, you can fit the motivating factors behind their home sale into one or more of these six categories. Who knew that the real estate business could be reduced to just nine letters! The three L’s (Location, Location, Location), and the six D’s (Death, Divorce, Disability, Decrease in Income, Distance, Default).

Choosing Your Bernal Heights Real Estate Agent Matters. A Lot.

If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Bernal Heights, you may be wondering what difference this all makes. How can one real estate professional or another influence the outcome of your transaction? When it comes to the three L’s, a good or bad agent makes no difference at all — the property is located where it is located. In regards to the six D’s, however, an experienced and thoughtful real estate agent makes all the difference.

Whether you are in the midst of a death in the family, a lost job, a divorce, or any of the other six D’s, each of these situations can be incredibly taxing and stressful. It is of the utmost importance to work with a caring, knowledgeable, determined real estate agent to get the job done with the least amount of additional stress. You don’t need more fuel in the fire! The right real estate professional can make all of the difference between having a smooth transaction with minimal stress and a nightmare that drains more of your precious time, energy and money.

Managing stress in a real estate transaction comes down to experience, knowledge and care. You can pick a realtor for a variety of reasons, but the realtor can’t change the location of your property. It is more important to pick a realtor that has the wisdom and the character to help you get the results you need.

Your agent needs the experience to know how to navigate the complicated trail of legal paperwork in real estate, how to call people back and to take responsibility as a professional in the business. You need an agent who tells you honestly how the system works and then holds your hand through the entire process. You need an agent who would prefer to see your dreams become reality, rather than make a quick buck. Through the difficult “D” moments in your life, you will absolutely need an agent with the wisdom to guide you and provide the tools to make the right decisions. Your co-workers and neighbors need that as well. Why should anyone settle for less?

We’ve sold hundreds of homes in Bernal Heights, and helped as many buyers and sellers through some of the biggest decisions of their lives.

We know how to market your property and expose it locally and globally through multiple marketing platforms. We know how to negotiate contracts to get you the best deal possible. Most importantly, we know how stressful your life can be during these times, and how important this six- or seven- or eight-figure transaction is to you.

Right now, you or someone you know may be experiencing one of the six D’s of real estate. It is unfortunate if it is one of the stressful D’s, where the pain and sorrow of the situation necessitates a sale. Let us help you, your loved ones, or your friends through this difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and start a no-pressure conversation. Let’s get to know each other. We’re ready to listen.

Yuan hits fresh high vs dollar on PBOC guidance

* Yuan hits intraday high of 6.6130 after record high fixing

* Dealers expect yuan may rise 1-2 percent in Q1 2011

* Senior c.banker says gradual yuan rise good for economy

* Thin holiday trade makes NDFs move in a small range

By Chen Yixin and Jason Subler

SHANGHAI, Dec 30 (BestGrowthStock) – The yuan hit a record high
against the dollar on Thursday after the People’s
Bank of China set a higher mid-point, sparking expectation of
more yuan appreciation in the first quarter of 2011.

Spot yuan hit an intraday high of 6.6106
by midday, the highest level since its revaluation and
forex reforms in July 2005. That was up 0.2 percent from
Wednesday’s close.
The PBOC set the day’s mid-point
against the dollar, from which the yuan can rise or fall 0.5
percent in a given day, at a record high of 6.6229 ,
slightly strong er than Wednesday’s
A number of dealers said they expected the yuan
might rise 1-2 percent in the first quarter of 2011 as China
needs to fight imported inflation and will face heightened
political pressure for it to strengthen.

“The domestic economic situation of this year may carry on
into the first quarter of next year,” said a dealer at an
Asian bank in Shanghai. “So we expect the yuan may rise a
little more at that time.”

Dealers see the currency’s gains quickening ahead of the
visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao to the United States in
mid-January. As for all of 2011, the yuan’s appreciation will
still be measured and intermittent, traders say.

Sheng Songcheng, head of the statistics department at the
PBOC, said in comments published on Thursday that a gradual
and modest appreciation of the yuan would be good for China’s
economy and has not hurt Chinese exporters. [ID:nTOE6BT004]

But Liu Dongliang, senior currency strategist at China
Merchants Bank in Shenzhen, said that China’s inflation for
now was mainly affected by its own food prices.

With the international influence not so obvious, the
impact of yuan appreciation on curbing domestic inflation
would be limited in the short-term, Liu said.

The central bank appeared reluctant to let the yuan rise
too fast, amid the threat of speculative capital inflows
seeking returns on higher interest rates and expectations of a
further yuan rise.

Offshore, one-year non-deliverable dollar/yuan forwards
were bid at 6.4630 at midday, down
slightly from Wednesday’s close of 6.4730. The
implied yuan appreciation in a year’s time edged higher to
2.47 percent from 2.32 percent.

Traders said offshore forwards had lagged in
response to the latest signs of yuan appreciation, due mainly
to thin holiday trading, but they might in coming weeks
increasingly imply greater appreciation over the next year.

Talking tech since 2003

Fast, slim, and stylish.  These are the three words I would use to describe the new LaCie Porsche Design P’9223 Slim SSD.  As you can probably gather from the name, this external drive sports a solid state drive, which means that its capacity is limited as compared to most other external drives which use traditional hard drives.  But what this drive lacks in capacity it gains in speed.

The P’9223 Slim SSD is equipped with USB 3.0 (cable included) and has a 120GB SSD that LaCie advertises has read speeds of up to 425MB/s and write speeds up to 200MB/s.  In our tests, the drive met and/or exceeded those numbers.  When it came to transferring data, we tested all sorts of different scenarios.  We transfered a 1GB file in literally the blink of an eye.  We also were able to transfer a 10GB folder in just under 30 seconds.

In terms of actual numbers, we ran some tests with Aja System Test, a free benchmark tool that’s meant to see how fast any drive connected to your system is and how it would perform under different video-editing circumstances.  It’s worth noting that I ran my tests using a MacBook Pro with Retina Display (2.6Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

With the 2GB File setting at 1920 x 1080, 10-bit, RGB frame sizes

Write: 292.8 MB/s
Read: 429.5 MB/s

With the 8GB File setting at 1920 x 1080, 10-bit, RGB frame sizes

Write: 318.3 MB/s
Read: 426.7 MB/s

With the 8GB File setting at 4096 x 2160, 10-bit, RGB frame sizes

Write: 317.6 MB/s
Read: 427.5 MB/s

As you can see, this external drive is very fast (and quiet) and would be an excellent choice to use for editing video, something that cannot be said for most other external drives.  In terms of actual video editing, importing, applying effects, and rendering in Final Cut Pro X was seamless and fast, I felt like I could have been working on an internal drive.

The P’9223 Slim SSD comes pre-formatted with 111GB of space, however, you can easily format it using the LaCie software that is loaded onto the device right out of the box.  You can choose how to partition the drive depending on how you plan to utilize it.  For example, you can format it to work only with OS X or Windows or both (by setting up two separate partitions).  I chose to make the drive OS X only, which actually gave me closer to 130GB of space.

As I mentioned the drive is very slim, with a thickness of just 11mm and weighing in at just 182g (6.4 oz) you wouldn’t even notice it if you it carried it around with you in a bag. One of my favorite aspects of the LaCie P’9223 Slim SSD is the anodized aluminium finish that not only looks high quality, it feels high quality.  Overall, the build quality is incredible, as you would expect from a LaCie product.

The LaCie P’9223 Slim SSD retails for $150.  If you purchase the drive, it also comes pre-loaded with software utilities for password protection, automatic backup and eco-friendly operation, as well as the option to sign up to its Wuala cloud backup service (all of which can be removed).

While a bit pricey in terms of what you get storage wise, the P’9223 Slim SSD is definitely worth buying if you’re after speed and style.

Avaya OneCloud IX Contact Center Review

OneCloud IX Contact Ctr.
Santa Clara, CA
Deployment Model:
Free Trial:

OneCloud IX Contact Ctr. At A Glance

Good: Scalable per-user pricing strategy, agents can access software from anywhere, speech analytics features.
Bad: Only supports the English language.
Bottom Line: Robust solution for small and midsize call centers that want to migrate to the cloud.

Product Overview

The Avaya OneCloud IX Contact Center is a Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solution that helps small and midsize call centers provide better, more efficient customer service. It gives businesses flexibility with monthly subscription plans that are based on a per-user strategy and the ability to scale up or down as their operation needs change. With that, there’s a reduced total cost of ownership (e.g., no need to purchase hardware or use IT resources to host software).

There are two pricing plans: Basic and Advanced. The Basic plan includes a cloud-based call center, self-service administration, skills-based routing, call recording, a Dual-tone Mulitfrequency (DTMF) auto-attendant and reporting. The Advanced plan has all of the features of the Basic plan, plus live screen capture, quality management and live agent coaching. Specific costs are detailed in our Pricing section below.

The Avaya OneCloud IX solution has several benefits, such as:

  • Quality management features for call center supervisors
  • Accessiblilty from any web browser, so agents can work remotely if necessary
  • Proactive tools that help improve agents’ productivity
  • A shorter implementation process than on-premise deployment

Note that Avaya offers another contact center solution, Avaya Intelligent Xperiences Contact Center, for larger companies that are looking for more advanced features. It has individual modules that can be integrated into a single solution, and it includes multichannel capability, self-service functionality for agents, workforce management and artificial intelligence. The Intelligence Xperiences Contact Center can be deployed in the cloud or on-premise.

Here are some of the key features of Avaya OneCloud IX Contact Center.

Voice – The software includes all features of the former Avaya Aura Elite call center solution, such as skills-based routing, the ability to transfer calls, whisper coaching and agent mobility. It also has a customizable IVR function with an option of voice or DTMF commands. Supervisors can record all aspects of a customer call, including IVR experience, hold times and transfers.

Call centers can also offer post-call surveys to their customers, and supervisors can customize surveys to fit their needs (e.g., caller opt-in or agent-prompted).

Workspaces – This feature gives agents access to important customer details that are collected from multiple sources, so they can provide more efficient service. It displays the customer’s contact information, purchase history and current interaction details in a single view, so agents can quickly find relevant details.

Workforce optimization and performance management – With real-time quality monitoring, call center supervisors can manage their agents’ performance. They can listen in on and provide coaching to an agent during a call with or without the customer’s awareness. In addition to calls, supervisors can record screen capture interactions.

Reporting and analytics – Avaya OneCloud IX Contact Center has both real-time and historical dashboards and reporting tools that help call centers measure their performance. There’s also a robust speech analytics feature that includes agent and caller verification, multitouch call transcriptions, listening comprehension scoring and automated quality assurance scoring.

Avaya targets its contact center software to many industries, including hospitality, health care, finance and technology. We’ve listed 10 of its clients below.

As mentioned, there are two pricing plans. The Basic plan costs $109 per user, per month, and the Advanced plan costs $129 per user, per month.

Avaya also offers three payment options for call minutes: toll minutes per agent (one cent per minute, per agent), toll-free minutes per agent (two cents per minute, per agent) and unlimited toll minutes ($70 per month).
