Nail Polish Prints Finally I took the time to paint my nails- to try the rubbing alcohol prints! Have you been seeing the newsprint nail polish lately? The trick: Paint your nails a light color for a base. Then simply dip your finger in rubbing alcohol and press a small piece of newsprint on top. You want to hold it on there for about 30 seconds, I thought you could just press and go...but you need the ink to be dark. I realized that after a couple of fingers. I read you could use other prints as well. There I learned- the simple patterns are best. Once you have your pattern, paint a clear layer over the top (or else it will just wipe off) then wash your hands so the extra ink come off!
How to Make Your Own Beauty Products from Scratch Let's keep things simple this week. When it comes to personal-care products, we are big believers in streamlining what you use—see "Eight Products You Think You Need But Don't" for a refresher—buying less in general, and getting creative. We have both always loved experimenting in our kitchens and our bathrooms, checking ingredients in products we love, isolating the main ones, and then trying them on their own. Sometimes it works: A favorite hair leave-in contained aloe, for example, so one day we tried aloe alone and found that, lo and behold, it worked just fine on its own. Simple body scrub Many body scrubs, even the ones that claim to be sugar- or salt-based, actually contain beads made out of polyethylene, which is environmentally deplorable (it all goes down the drain, remember)—to say nothing of the preservatives, fragrance, penetration enhancers, and sulfates that typically bulk up these products.

Sneak Peek: Best of Bathrooms The bathroom can be one of the most difficult rooms to decorate. You have to work around so many bulky fixtures and utilitarian objects. My favorite bathrooms are those that treat the space as an extension of the house, with vintage objects, great artwork and beautiful rugs.

How to Wear a Sari / Wrap a Sari untitled El Depósito del Tranvía – LEÓN ANTIGUO Por: Luis Alegre Milenio León, 31 de mayo de 2009 El 27 de julio de 1882 comenzó a funcionar el servicio de tranvías en León. La primera línea fue la Centro-Estación. Inmediatamente después se tendieron los rieles de la plaza principal a la Calzada de los Héroes. En su muy documentada investigación sobre el transporte urbano en León, la investigadora Adriana Ortega Zenteno señala que el depósito de la Compañía de Tranvías del Centro era “una bodega enorme” instalada sobre lo que se conocía como la Venta de San Ramón. “Las mulitas se quedaban paradas, descansaban y se alimentaban en los establos del depósito en donde también se estacionaban los carros y se reparaban los rieles”. De aquel depósito al final de la calle Real de Guanajuato (hoy Madero) partían dos de los principales circuitos. La otra ruta era “Coecillo-Plaza Principal” (luego Centro Coecillo). Pero regresando el tranvía al depósito, de su arquitectura –si la hubo-, poco se sabe, casi nada.
Listen to Bob Dylan's Nobel Lecture (VIDEO). AFP/Getty Images Bob Dylan’s reluctance to even acknowledge he’d won the Nobel Prize for Literature, let alone show up to accept it in person, produced plenty of accidental comedy—to say nothing of a pronounced debate over whether songwriting could be considered a branch of literature. But his acceptance speech, which was delivered by the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden, was charming, and his Nobel Lecture, released in both print and audio form, is thoroughly engrossing. Not surprisingly, Dylan’s Nobel Lecture is largely concerned with the relationship between literature and music, tracing, in what he admits is “a roundabout way,” a path through the songs and the novels that made the deepest impression on him. You know what it's all about. And he goes on to pay tribute to three of his favorite written works: Moby Dick, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Odyssey. All that culture from a thousand years ago, that philosophy, that wisdom—Plato, Aristotle, Socrates—what happened to it?
