Head Scarf Tutorial After many requests, I finally made a tutorial on how to tie a simple head scarf. It's really, really easy. I did this without looking in the mirror, so that should tell you how easy it is. Let's get started! Start with a large, square scarf. Fold one corner to the other to form a triangle. Fold the corner down to about the middle, and then fold over again (but not all the way to the edge, because you want it to be a little thicker). Put the scarf around your head with the ends in the front, making sure the wrong side of the scarf (the part where you can see the folds) is against your head. Tie it in a loose knot at the front. Tuck the ends behind/underneath the scarf. Done!
What's He Saying? 'Bahh' Or 'Fahh'? A Brain Mystery : Krulwich Wonders... I love illusions, where your brain makes weird things happen. Those of you who come here often have seen some doozies, but this one ... oooh, this is one of the strangest. The question is: Which is more powerful, your eyes or your ears? Watch this clip and experience "The McGurk Effect." Your ears will feel ashamed. The McGurk Effect is named for a psychologist from Scotland, Harry McGurk, working with John MacDonald. Not only that, even if your brain knows this is an illusion, you still can't hear the truth unless you close your eyes. Why Does This Happen? Does sight always beat sound? Does anybody know?
...love Maegan: Messy Rope Braids and Low Bun Hair Tutorial Fashion+Home+Lifestyle These little rope braids are a fun way to add a little style with your own hair, creating a sort-of headband of sorts. Your hair doesn’t need to be extremely long, but you do need some length to cover the top of your head with. If you have layers, you could instead create a tiny French Braid where the hair is shorter and closer to your head, if that makes sense. I originally wore this style last Summer with two slightly larger braids Watch and Enjoy… * Notes: Instead of one large bun, create two or three little buns at base of your head OR swap the bun for a clean pony tail. Wear it Up… Wear it Down… * Just bobby pin them in place or use a pretty barrette * Click Here for my DIY Tassel Earrings shown above * Have Fun! Find all my Hair Tutorials here!

Swim With 13 Million Jellyfish in Palau by Amanda Arnold | June 1, 2011 I know what you’re thinking: Ouch. But no worries. Unlike the jellyfish that lurk along your nearest coastline, the golden jellyfish of Jellyfish Lake in Palau don’t sting. So, snorkeling with them is pain-free. Just look at this guy, swimming with the jellyfish to the tune of Radiohead: Two things I like about the golden jellyfish: One, it follows the sun. Two — again, it doesn’t sting, and who doesn’t like that? It just follows the sunlight, being graceful. [Thanks to Sarosh Jacob for making such a lovely video.]

Update On The 'S' French Braid Updo: Step By Step How-to I am flattered that the response is so great on the French Braid Updo. Here is a series of steps in photos that hopefully sheds some light on how to do it. Brush your hair. If it goes big, that's OK! *For curly hair, don't brush it, just run your fingers through your hair. Start slight off centre of your crown. Braid slightly diagonally towards your ear. Curve back from your ear and braid in the same manner to the other side. Keep braiding as per above back and forth until you run out of hair. Et Voila. Helps?? Let me know if this a) helps or b) confuses more. Even though I've been a hairstylist for 20 years, I swear you can do this if you can master a French braid. TIP: Next time you see your hairstylist, ask her to watch how you French braid and correct any mistakes you may have. I know, this just may be the Rubik's Cube of hairstyling.

The finished product is delightfully lovely, and at times can look like a real flower! Every flower will turn out differently and that is part of the beauty!

Supplies: · Synthetic Silky Fabric · Scissors · Candle (preferably a tea light) Additional supplies: · Needle and Thread, Glue Dots or Glue Gun · Buttons and/or Beads Directions: 1. Make the largest one’s diameter about half an inch larger than you want the diameter of the flower, as the petals will end up shrinking a bit. 2. You can also cut around the pattern and skip the drawing part, it just might not be as uniform . . . but with these, uniform isn’t necessary. 3. Cut just inside the drawn lines to make a circle out of the fabric. 4. 5.
