25 Awesome Things To Do With Your Group Of Friends. 1. Go to a dive bar or a place that isn’t your usual hangout. No MacLaren’s Pub where you’re regular attendees — have a one-night stand with some hole-in-the-wall joint. 2. Sit down together and have a clip show. You know, the flashback episode where everyone sits around discussing the funniest, craziest memories of your ensemble’s prior seasons. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 5 Self-Help Books That Actually Helped. There’s something about self-help that is fundamentally uncool. Being into coin-collecting or Dungeons & Dragons is an order of magnitude more socially acceptable than having titles like “How to Get People to Like You” and “You Can Be Happy No Matter What!” Staring out from your bookshelf. Somehow it isn’t yet obvious that a persistent interest in self-improvement is probably the defining trait of the interesting and accomplished person.
Self-help literature, though, is a particular kind of self-improvement. I don’t think the need for some intentional re-balancing is special though. I think what makes us most suspicious of self-help is that we’ve all seen people who are constantly absorbing it and not changing a thing. Their mistake is simple: they’re missing the “self” part of self-help. The self-help junkie habit is obvious and ugly to everyone else, and so the whole genre is reviled for its empty promises, rather than the reader for his total lack of responsibility. The big ones: 11 Books You Should Read If You’re A Woman In Your 20s. According to Love Twenty, women in their twenties are supposed to read diet books and novels about shopping. I disagree. Here are my suggestions for novels you should read if you’re a woman in your twenties. 1. The Awakening by Kate Chopin (1899) This classic novel about female sexuality and personal exploration during the turn of the century is one of the first novels to explore casual sex on the part of a woman — a married woman.
But it’s not all about sex. 2. By Sarah Hall (2007) You should read at least one dystopian novel in your twenties, if only for the reminder that everything could go to shit in a matter of years. 3. By Gillian Flynn (2012) This book is a journey into the musings of a female psychopath. 4. By Jill Grimes (2008) As the only practical book on my list, Seductive Delusions exposes common misconceptions and fallacies about STDs. 5. By Margaret Mitchell (1936) Written about the Civil War from a Southerner’s point of view, Gone with the Wind is a beautiful love story. 6. 50 No-Brainer Ways To Cut 50 Calories - Health & Fitness Advice on GLAMOUR UK.

Hoop it up How long: 8 minutes The skinny: Hooping—the exercise-oriented incarnation of the 1950s Hula-Hoop craze—gives you a good cardiovascular workout, builds stamina, and improves agility and strength.

Diagram Do you need some help? Staggered rib scarf : It's a Stitch Up. A cosy, chunky-weight scarf in a reversible, diagonal rib pattern. Staggered-rib scarf When I came across this stitch pattern I knew it was ideal for a scarf – simple, reversible, quicker to knit than seed stitch and normal 2×2 ribbing (because it compresses less). I’ve given it a beginner rating because it’s entirely knit and purl. However, it requires a bit of concentration at first because you have to purl stitches that look like they should be knit and vice versa.
If you get lost, use the photos below to check whether you’re on an odd side (rib pattern moves one stitch right) or an even side (pattern does not move). I have given instructions for slipping the first stitch of each row for neater edges. The yarn I have chosen is a warm and luxurious blend of merino, alpaca and silk.
