Cute puppies caught in adorable sleeping positions You would almost think they were trying to be cute, and as if puppies and kittens weren’t sweet enough, this lot are really turning on the charm by falling asleep in a variety of adorable – and sometimes weird – positions. A brown puppy even cuddles up to a fluffy toy to generate an extra level of cuteness. One short-haired puppy uses a wicker basket and its paws as a colour-coordinated pillow, while a fluffy white puppy accessorises as it sleeps on a silver mobile phone. But a couple of other young dogs appear to have grabbed the attention by sleeping in slightly ridiculous positions. A plump, short-haired white puppy must have been having flying doggy dreams as it lies fast asleep with its front legs – and ears – outstretched liked wings. Another pup with a long snout lies right on its back with its legs by its side, looking like it’s about to take off. We reckon they’ll be coming to a greeting card near you soon… MORE: Entire book full of baby animals may cause ‘cute headaches’

(via Weird Universe, Daily Record, The Sun) Maiden Braids Last month I did a makeover story with Kelsie and had many requests for a maiden braid tutorial. Yesterday she came in and we photographed these simple step by steps.

Steps 1-2: Braid two strands on each side of a center part. Steps 3-5: Wrap braids around the crown of your head and pin in place with one pin each. Step 6: Arrange braids so that they cover the front of your head like a headband. Steps 7-8: Pull the rest of the hair into a ponytail and pin it into a cute messy bun. Step 9: Add final pins and spray.

Frenemy Advice Somebody asked me what advice I would give to my 18-year-old self. It is as follows: First of all, slow your load. I get that your hormones are raging at the fiery furnace of vagina hellfire terror. Cool. These hormones might make you want to just dry hump all over every celebrity vampire or badass in a GQ leather jacket, but you can’t go around hoping to make out with celebrities all the time! Well, except for that one guy. No. Seriously. That being said, I don’t want you to be so cynical. Remember being vulnerable isn’t something you only do when you are young. Fill your I-Pod up with terrible music so you can one day loudly sing that music when you are 22 and drunk on a rooftop. Stop wearing so many denim skirts they look stupid. Give your best friends more hugs. Realize that many of these friends will go away, and you will soon make new ones who ask ‘so how were you at 18?’ Go to class. Learn shit. Get a job. Do your laundry. Don’t smoke because you can. Be a kid. 18 isn’t that old.
