I want to dance like those women when I grow up. Check out their 2011 opening performance. Just… wow.

I buy almost all of my shoes from http://www.snaz75.com They have enormous variety and you can shop by brand and heel height. My favorite brand is Pleaser.

I don’t use oil in the shower because my bath surface is really smooth and don’t want to slip. I rinse off hair covered in oil in a big kitchen sink.

He might not be intentionally interrupting your pole time or realizing he is becoming sensitive about the time you spend when you leave or influencing your dietary choices in a negative way. I agree with others that the best approach would be an open non confrontational dialouge. I've handled issues by reinforcing what the goal means to me and why I am so dedicated to it.
Let him know how important these goals are to you and that his support means a lot to you. Reassure him on how much he means to you and how much you value the relationship. You can also share that you are feeling a strain structuring all these pieces into your life right now but want the experience of competing at that event and that makes it worth it. Get from his point of view exactly what might be going on with him without making assumptions and without putting words in his mouth or projecting what you think might be going on (since we really never know exactly what the thoughts of others are).
Wishing you the best of luck with this situation and during the competition! The support (or lack therof) from others can make such a big difference in our personal goals, I really hope he comes around and supports your goals!

Avocado hair mask for a deep condition: http://www.livestrong.com/article/95683-diy-avocado-hair-mask/
I tried straight conconut oil but it was too heavy and I couldn't get it to wash out… took me about three thorough washings over two days to get it out. That's just my hair though… I read reviews from some people that totally loved it.
If you are going for minimal chemical you might want to consider lushusa handmade cosmetics. That might be out of the question based on your goals but wanted to mention just in case you might find some of their products useful.

When you are adjusting to the friction of holds there will generally be discomfort on the skin regardless of the pole finish. I don't have issues with CKR or other holds on power coated poles. I actually like PC poles due to the extra grippiness. My issues are when I am doing something that has a very fast motion with high friction for a reasonable length, like a drop. I won't do them on PC poles anymore. Other moves I do fine with PC and even better than other finishes. There was no damage done to my pole by the shop that PC'd it.

I get friction burns from PC poles when doing moves like drops. I don’t get that on other finishes. I love the color variety and grippiness of PC though…. I just need to be extra mindful of what I’m doing with it.

I had my brass powder coated and did prefer powder coat to brass. I have seen other forum members powder coat their xpole and they also seem happy with the outcome.

I've done various Barre classes and they can be challenging from a muscle isolation and high repitition aspect… but they are NOTHING like pole. Personally I have found pole much harder considering all of the strength/stamina/flexibility that is required.

That might be a typo on the web page. Call X Pole in your area to discuss your needs. Here is the vaulted mount from their US site and it says for vaulted ceilings only.

You have been given great feedback here. In addition I would suggest asking if she was available to talk a few minutes after class. Let her know in private that you want to see her to continue to excel and you are impressed with her progress and determination. Then ask her if there is anything you can offer to make her class experience more enjoyable and beneficial for her. She if she responds and gives you a way in to help her in reaching her goals.
I hope she continues classes and kudos to you for reaching out!
