| 7 Ways to Get Rid of Unwanted Facial Hair … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 12:05 PM PST  It’s just a fact of life that girls can get facial hair too. It might be a little stubble on the chin, dark hair over your upper lip, or thick peach fuzz along your jaw or cheeks. It happens – it’s embarrassing, but it happens. You don’t have to deal with it, though; there are a number of ways you can eliminate the problem – and you don’t have to rely on electrolysis or laser hair removal, either. Here, in fact, are 7 ways to get rid of unwanted facial hair. 1. PluckingIf you have just a few pesky hairs, then plucking will generally do the trick. It hurts, as plucking always does, but it’s quick, easy, and free – minus the cost of the tweezers, of course, but I generally assume that everyone has a pair someone in their house. Anyway, this method is ideal for random hairs on or under your chin. 2. WaxingLots of women get facial waxes, especially on their upper lip. This can last longer than plucking, and although I haven’t ever had my upper lip wax, I have to imagine that it may sting worse than getting your eyebrows done. Still, you can also wax at home, so it might be worth it for the long term results, especially if you can keep the issue to yourself. 3. ShavingWomen?? Shaving their faces?! Well, yeah, it happens. It’s quick and relatively cheap as well, it doesn’t hurt, and you can do it right in the shower. I know a lot of women shudder to even think of this, but with guys manscaping and getting their eyebrows (and other areas) waxed and all, there’s really nothing wrong with a girl getting rid of her pesky facial hair with a razor. |

Nowadays, they're smaller, prettier, and much more affordable, and I even have on in my little girl's room above her reading chair and art center. I've found so many chandeliers I love lately, I thought I'd share them with you in time for Spring redecorating! Here are 7 beautiful chandeliers. 1. High-Minded Chandelier

| Top 10 Beautiful Video Games … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 11:22 AM PST  First of all, I am going to start by telling you that there are so many video games out there to choose from and if I were to tell you every beautiful/good game out there, it would be well over a list of one hundred games. So, it’s hard for me to pick JUST 10 of them. Here are the Top 10 beautiful video games … 10. Zelda: Twilight on WiiThis is an excellent game. I have always been a fan of Zelda and when I heard rumour of this game, I could not wait to play it. Of course, it also came out on the Wii and back then I didn’t have the Wii, so I got it on Gamecube. Now, today, I have it on the Wii. The graphics in it are really pretty. 9. Gears of War 2 on the Xbox 360Now, the graphics in Gears of War 2 may not be “pretty,” per say, but they sure are something. For all of you Gears of War fans, you know exactly what I am talking about. 8. Bioshock 2 on the Xbox 360You know, not too long ago, I discovered Bioshock 2. I have been wanting to play it, but never really had time and barely get time to play the hundreds of games I DO have, but I figured I would add it to my collection and play it when I have some time on my hands. I played it and must say that I like it. |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:57 AM PST  I spent nearly 20 years working in offices, enslaved in a cubicle or on a desk farm, toiling away under fluorescent lights with fake plastic trees. It was wildly dull, but between my friends and I, we managed to make each day bearable, and sometimes, even hilarious. And that was before we had humorous office supplies at our disposal! But you, my lovely office drone, have an advantage — now, there are office supplies that can help you make every workday a little more fun. Here are 8 hilarious office supplies… 1. Get the Hint Stickies
2. Borrow My Pen
3. Nifty Notepads

| 9 Reasons to Control Your Temper … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:54 AM PST  Girls, we all get mad. At work, at home, when we go out to eat: things happen that just grind our gears. Dealing with anger well is a real skill, and one that every grown up needs to master. We can't just lash out every time things don't run smoothly, ladies, and here is a list of reasons why not … 1. It Gives a Bad ImpressionGirls, have you ever seen someone losing control in public? It's not pretty. In fact, it's embarrassing. Don't be that crazy lady yelling at the waitress. Take a breath, relax and try to express your irritation in a more productive way. 2. Communication FailureIt's just a fact that people are less likely to listen to you if they feel you're being irrational, and girls nothing says irrational like ranting your head off in the middle of the mall. Trust me girls, you won't get your point across by screaming it and gesticulating. If any thing, the person you're talking to is likely end the conversation by calling security. 3. It's a ClichéOne of the most irritating things dreadful sexists say about women is that we're too emotional. Ladies, it's this kind of thinking that kept us out of the workplace for hundreds of years and denied us the vote; don't give people the opportunity to believe it's true. |
| 7 Bags You Can Share With Your Man … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:31 AM PST  The trend of 'boyfriend dressing' has really taken off lately. Many brands are also starting to create unisex lines of clothing. However, if you're not interested in sharing your clothes with the man in your life, try accessories such as bags. You'll be pleasantly surprised to see what's out there. 1. Cambridge Satchel Company Leather Backpack Satchel
2. Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Leather Satchel

| Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:31 AM PST  A scarf is always an interesting, fashionable way to breathe new life into your single color outfit and, although some would say it doesn't really give plenty of options for being creative, I'll have to disagree. In fact, a scarf is the most fun of all your accessories because, unlike bags, hats and belts that have no alternative uses, a scarf can be combined in millions of ways! And these are just some of them: 1. Boho chick
Photo Credit: academichic There are plenty of ways to use your long scarves to reflect this popular laid back style. The first and the easiest one to do is to wrap your scarf starting from the front of your neck, cross the sides on the back, bring them up forward again and just leave them like that. You can also wrap it around your waist and give that baggy linen dress or tunic a more formfitting shape. 2. Stunning cowgirl
Photo Credit: pyimdesigns This is a very popular way to wear a scarf these days and I'm not talking about girls only! I've seen a lot of guys wearing it too! You'll need to fold your scarf to get a triangle, flip it downwards, like cowboys, cross the sides in the back and bring them forward. Don't worry, you won't actually look like you've just stepped out of a western movie. Your scarf is big enough to give you all those cool layers and creases and, if you ask me, this is a perfect accessory when you want to wear jeans, boots and a cool leather jacket. P.S – Don't forget the shades either! Wayfarers or Aviators, the choice is yours! 3. Vintage diva
Photo Credit: academichic An everyday version of a little black dress, huge vintage shades and a silk scarf to match! Combining these three things I'm positively sure you have in your closet will make you feel like Sophia Loren and the best thing about it is that you don't have to spend a lot of time fixing your hair! Just put it up in a bun, pin the center of your scarf to it, bring the ends forward, cross them and toss them back. If the scarf is long enough you can wrap it around your neck two times – it will help tighten it up so you won't have to fix it every few minutes. |
| The Best 8 Online Games to Pass Time … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:15 AM PST  Each of the games listed below are fairly simple and they don't require a lot of time to play. If you only have a few minutes, then most of these games are a perfect way to pass the time. Even if you have an hour or two, I don't think any of the games below would get boring after that short of time either. Actually, with an hour to spare, you might be able to squeeze in a few rounds from a couple of the games mentioned below. If you are looking for something to do, then why not choose something from this list of the best 8 online games to pass time. You just might get addicted though, so be careful! 8. Effing WormsIf you're looking for something a bit gruesome, then you might want to try this game. You are a giant worm underground and the object of the game is to bolt to the surface and eat whatever is passing by; human, dog, cow, etc. Even jets are made to be eaten. The point of the game is to eat until you grow and thus advance through the levels. The more you eat, the faster you grow. I found that the hardest part of this game is to get the hang of using the A, S, D, and W keys to maneuver the worm through the ground. 7. Bubble Spinner 2I don't know if you're even familiar with Bubble Spinner, but the second version isn't much different. You are given a group of bubbles that you have to demolish. The bubble at the top of the page can be directed towards the group of colored bubbles below. You have to aim directly at a cluster of bubbles of the same color as the one being shot or bounce it off the wall. Once you match up at least 3 bubbles of the same color, they pop, thus throwing the cluster off balance. Oh, and the mass of bubbles spins as it is thrown off balance. |
| 10 Birthday Greetings For Your Friend’s Sweet Sixteen … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:11 AM PST  Sweet sixteen is one of those special milestones that mean more for young girls than for boys. Historically it used to be a celebration of a woman coming of age although 18 is really the age of adulthood. Whatever the reason, if you want to do something innovative for your friend's sweet sixteen, here are a few ideas. 1. A picture frame greetingRather than give her a card that she will discard along with all the others, make this one a keepsake by giving her a framed photo frame of the two of you. You can write a message on the bottom to add a personal touch. 2. A memory book greetingPutting together a short memory book of your times together would be a wonderful keepsake to present to your friend on her sweet sixteen. If you are creatively inclined you can make this extremely innovative. 3. A musical greetingRecord a message along with her favorite song and send her a musical greeting. You can do so online or present her with a CD. Both are thoughtful and sensitive ideas. |
| 7 Ways to Recognize the Signs of Sexual Addiction … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:02 AM PST  Sexual addiction is sad. It causes people to do bad things that I do not even feel like mentioning in this blog. Of course, sex is natural and there is nothing wrong with it. However, when you go to the extremes and it has become your little addiction, then that, my friend, is where you need to draw the line. While more men than women seem to have this sexual addiction, I am not going to pinpoint either sex. I am going to give you 7 ways to recognize the signs of sexual addition – below, you will find the signs of sexual addiction … 7. SexWhen the individual engages in computer sex and phone sex at all hours of the day, then this may be a sign that they have a sexual addiction and they can't get a hold of it. They just can't help but to talk to strangers over the computer and have "sex." 6. Pornographic MaterialWhen the individual frequently uses pornographic material either in a magazine or on the Internet, then they may have an addiction. I am talking about being obsessive over this stuff – it's no good. 5. Excessive MasturbationSure, masturbation is good, but it shouldn't be so good that you have to do it anywhere from ten to twenty times a day – yes, there are people out there that do it this many times in a given day and my friends, I think that would be an addict. |
| 8 Tips for Writing a Personal Statement … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 10:01 AM PST  In case you aren't quite sure of what your statement of purpose should include, take a look at the following 8 tips for writing a personal statement. The more information you can include about your attributes, goals, and be able to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd, the more likely you will be noticed. Each of the following tips should help you create a personal statement that will entice the admission committee to welcome you into the university with open arms. 8. Make the opening paragraph grab their attentionThe first impression should always be a good one and this rings true for a written document as well. Your personal statement is going to be introducing you to the admission committee well before any of them ever meet you in person, if they ever do at all. They will have to read your statement and learn all about you through the details provided. Make this paragraph count. 7. Don't write what you think they want to hearThe people in charge of reading your statement of purpose have usually read plenty of them to know when they are being fed a load of crud. You can define your purpose without having to embellish it to suit the likes of the admission committee. Make sure you stick to the word limit stated as well. Don't give the committee an easy reason to throw your application in the trash. 6. Avoid stating the obviousAn example of stating the obvious would be if you were applying to med school and put the following sentence in your personal statement: I'm very good at science and my goal is to help others. Really? That is far from an original thought. They will be able to tell if you are good at science from your grades and if you weren't interested in helping others you probably wouldn't be applying to med school in the first place. |
| 7 Ways to Wear the Most Glamorous Trends … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 09:39 AM PST  There are tons of new trends on the horizon, and a lot of them are really pretty. The problem comes down to knowing whether or not they’ll work for you, and how you can wear them if they will. But no worries, y’all, it’s actually pretty easy. Here are some ways you can wear the most glamorous trends of the year – and still look all glam and gorgeous yourself! 1. A Little WineDo you like the taste of a fine burgundy? Well, what about the look of it? Wine and burgundy colored lips are a signature glam look in the coming seasons, and you can pull it off easily. All you have to do is remember to keep the rest of your makeup minimal and subtle. Do the same with the hair. You literally and figuratively want to let those luscious lips do the talking. 2. Lacy LoveLace is a dominating trend not just for the remaining winter months, but also for the spring and summer. The key here is to keep it light. Although you might be tempted to wear a lot of dark colored lace, you need to stick to lighter shades if you really want to be glamorous. Crisp, pristine white lace, delicate creams, and pretty pinks are all you need for this trend. 3. Totally TousledAre any of you tired of spending hours on your hair to make it look perfect? Don’t even worry about it anymore! Bedhead is back in style. Sexy tousles like you just tumbled out of bed can make it look like you spent hours on your hair to make it look like you didn’t even do anything. Of course, that’s sometimes necessary when you go with this look. |
| 7 Conversational Gambits for that Guy You Like … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 09:15 AM PST  Talking to a guy you like can be difficult. You don’t want to come on too strong, you don’t want things to be awkward, and you don’t want either of you to feel uncomfortable. You don’t have to stress out about it, though. Talking is easy once you know a few tricks. Here are 7 conversational gambits for that guy you like, so the conversation will flow a lot more smoothly. 1. Talk about Common GroundPresumably, if you like a guy, you’ve known him for at least a little while. You likely already know that the two of you have some things in common – and even if you don’t, you can discuss topics that are common to the setting. If you’re in a cafe, you can comment on the art on the walls or the coffee. If you’re in a bookstore, you can talk about what books you like. 2. Mention a General TopicThere are lots of general interests most people share. They may like to read the news, watch sports, or anything like that. You can mention something that’s recently happened in the world of world news, celebrity news, sports news, and so on, and go on from there. Keeping current is always a good idea, however. 3. Go for Open QuestionsOpen questions encourage an answer that involves more than a simple "yes" or "no." Conversely, close ended questions typically encourage monosyllabic answers. Rather than asking, "Do you like to read?" you can instead ask, "What kinds of books interest you?" You can also be more general than that: rather than asking, "Did you have a good day?" instead inquire, "What have you been up to the past few days?" |
| 8 Cool Tricks To Teach Your Dog … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 08:50 AM PST  There are just some things that, unfortunately, dogs can't do. We've all tried to teach our dogs the simple stuff; to sit, stay, shake. You know, all that boring stuff. This is a list of the stuff that you've always wanted your dog to do; practical things that would make them useful as much more than just boring pets. 8. To Stay Until We Say Not ToIt's not that hard to teach a dog to stay…for a second. But, we all know that dogs have extremely short attention spans that won't allow them to keep that position much longer than it takes from you to turn your head. Wouldn't it be nice… 7. To Talk…literallyIf dogs could literally talk, they truly would become man's best friend. Imagine if you and your dog could go to the movies and then talk after. What if your dog could just say, "Hey, let me outside, I need to use the bathroom real quick."? Your dog could just tell you that someone is in your driveway instead of going crazy for five minutes. 6. To Fetch The Groceries From The StoreIf this were the case everyone would have dogs. No more boring fetch in the back yard with a stick. You could just give them a list and let them go. I would love to never have to go to Wal-Mart again. |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2011 08:26 AM PST  It's nice to know that our little country still turns out some of the most recognisable creations in the world of fashion. The only problem is the chance of ever owning an original is probably a dream for most of us. Luckily most of them now have ready to wear collections. Here's some top British designers some of whom will be familiar to you, others not. 1. Alexander McQueen
Undoubtedly the King of British fashion until his untimely death in Feb 2010, he's the man who introduced skull printed silk scarves into Harrods. If you've got a couple of thousand bucks handy why not buy one of his gem encrusted purses. 2. Vivienne Westwood
If McQueen is King, Viv is Queen. She'll always hold a place in my heart because she's partly to blame for me dying my hair bright blue and wearing plastic bin liners and safety pins in 1977. Always up for something avant-garde I'll never forget her ad campaign for Axminster Carpets. She made a wedding dress/ball gown complete with long train and hat, all out of living room carpet. 3. Phillip Treacey
A hat isn't just for a wedding. Well it certainly isn't if you own one of Phillip Treacey's magnificent creations. They are more a sculpture than a hat and definitely the crowning glory for when you want to feel like a princess. |
| 8 Steps to Clean Out Your Inbox … Posted: 05 Mar 2011 07:56 AM PST  All of us are slaves to our mailbox so what happens when it gets full and we can't send or receive any mails? We literally go nuts trying to get rid of any unwanted correspondence so that our lives can return to normal. Let's try for a second to skip the madness and attempt to go about this in an orderly fashion. Here are 8 steps to clean out your inbox. 1. Create a 'to do' folder and send pending mails thereBefore you commence any cleaning out activity, first create a 'to do' folder which will contain all mails that require some action. Then start reviewing your inbox and moving such notes into this folder. Going forward don't leaving pending work in your inbox, use the 'to do' folder. That way when your inbox is empty you know you've checked everything. 2. Figure out how much free space you haveGo to the settings of your email and ascertain how much free space you have. This way you know how critical the problem is and how much you have to achieve right away. In most cases you will be on the brink of disaster but there is no harm in checking. 3. Get rid of the heaviest mails firstYou should also be able to view your mails in such a way that the largest ones are on top. Start deleting these first so that you enjoy some immediate relief from your problem. Of course, before deleting heavy mails, check if you are in a position to do without it. |
| 8 Points To Consider If You Want an Unusual Pet … Posted: 04 Mar 2011 11:13 PM PST  At some point in our lives, many of us have lived with pets. Typically, these are cats, dogs, birds, rabbits or hamsters. But what if you would love to own something more unusual? Well, the animal's welfare has to be the most important factor, and there are many points to take into consideration in deciding whether you can meet its needs. 1. KnowledgeI get so irritated when I read about 'pet crazes' in the newspapers. People see cute pictures of mini pigs and decide that they want one. I just know that soon there will be another article about how many pigs have been abandoned. You MUST research what a pet needs, and consider carefully whether you can meet those needs. 2. CostExotic pets are far from cheap, and the purchase price is only the beginning. There's suitable housing, special diet, healthcare … Are you able and willing to pay those costs, whatever they are? 3. Specialist VetMost vets will be used to dealing primarily with cats and dogs, so you would need to find a vet within reasonable travelling distance who specialises in exotic breeds. This is more likely if you live in a city, or near a university with a veterinary department. |
