5 So-Called Signs of Genius That Any Idiot Can Learn You know what would be cool? Superhuman intelligence. To walk into a room like Dr. House or Sherlock Holmes and show everyone your brain works twice as fast as theirs. Unfortunately, we can't turn you into a genius -- genetics and the public school system have already tried and failed. But what we can do is teach you all the tricks you need to seem like one. Because with very little practice, you can ... #5. Getty When pop culture is tasked with presenting us characters who speak 17 languages, know way too much about far too many subjects, and/or are insufferably intelligent in general, speed reading tends to be the go-to skill to display their talent. Or the text is just really large. Well, here's good news for the vast majority of people who aren't Mensa-brained but want to appear to be: An ability to read quickly doesn't require a genius IQ, even if it will fool people at parties into thinking you have one. Provided you already know how to read (in which case, hi!) #4. Rubiks.com"Hacks!"
TetraBox Light by Ed Chew Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew Tufted Headboard (DIY) I’ve made a couple of diamond-tufted headboards now (Joanna’s was only my second though) and I feel like I have a pretty good sense of the easiest DIY approach now. For another tufted headboard tutorial I did, check out this post. I would say any upholstery job involving tufting is sort of an advanced DIY, but is this project definitely doable (maybe even fun?). Gone are the days when I spend hours mapping out and drilling holes in plywood! I’ve been using pegboard and it is PERFECT for these headboard projects. I had Home Depot cut down the board for me, so it was just the right size for Alex and Joanna’s queen bed. I had three rows of nine buttons and two rows of eight for a total of 45 tufts. (!) I purchased my 3″ upholstery foam at Joann’s with a 50% off coupon. So, to mark out your foam, lay the pegboard down perfectly on top of foam and use your registration marks and a sharpie. One of the secrets of getting deep tufts is removing the foam where the buttons go.
Lancome Rouge in Love, Swatches, Photos, Reviews Lancome just launched a new, longwearing lipstick formula: Rouge in Love. There are 21 colors, divided into three groups: daytime shades Jolis Matins (“beautiful mornings”), cocktail colors Boudoir Time, and intense, magical shades Tonight Is My Night. Lancome designates the Jolis Matins shades with an M; the Boudoir Time shades with a B; and Tonight Is My Night shades with an N. The packaging is really pretty (and not terribly heavy). The Rouge in Love formula is rose-scented, really lightweight, and surprisingly pigmented. 128M Ever So Sweet is pinky coral with tiny, subtle gold sparkles. 322M Corail in Love is light, warm, springy pink. 106M Jolis Matins is a muted, slightly browned orange (persimmon). 217M Delicate Lace is a greyed rose-mauve with a faint gold shimmer. 230M Rouge Rendez-vous is rose-pink. 275M Jolie Rosalie is a mauve-berry. 353M Roses in Love is a cool rose-pink with gold sparkles. The Rouge in Love lipsticks are $25 each, available everywhere. . Nordstrom
Temptation Every so often an email lands in my inbox from perhaps the cruelest man I know. Chris from Welcome Beyond dangles dream designs in front of me and it is all I can do to stop myself from hocking everything I own, jumping a plane and escaping to the hand picked boutique vacation properties that litter the pages of their website. Chris has cruelly tempted me again with a Spanish beauty and oh the temptation! Alemanys 5 ... "located in the core part of Girona's medieval quarter, within the scope of the first wall and overlooking the Plaça de Sant Domènec, is the property Alemanys 5, whose original building dates from the Sixteenth Century. Its recent restoration integrates old and new, where sober and clean lines look for the enjoyment of essential elements such as space, light, shadow, fire, stone, water or silence."
Relax Bottle/Time Out Timer « My Crazy Blessed Life! Sooooo… I have a three-year-old little girl who is full of drama. Probably not the only one in history, but one of my current dilemmas. When time out time comes for bad behaviour I find myself with a little girl on the bottom step screaming, kicking walls and not able to even calm down enough to learn her lesson. This was getting worse and worse until I told my husband, “there has to be a better way, I’m going to research this.” So I found a water bottle (Smart water was the brand) that was totally smooth and not too big around for little hands to hold. I removed the label with goo gone (it was very sticky under that label) Next I filled each bottle with about 3/4 (* edit 5-3-12, I used hot water so that the glue “melted” better… room temp or cold will cause it to stay separate) water, an entire bottle of glitter glue and a small tube of ultra fine glitter. Here is one settled and one in the beginning stages of settling… Here are some of the products I used to make them. Johanna Like this:
Lofted Space-Saving Furniture for Bedroom Interiors Tumidei is more than just a furniture company – they construct modern and relatively inexpensive (no, not cheap) pieces of furniture that they also create compositions from – interior design photos that you can use to shape your own space. These lofted bedroom interiors are brilliantly varied and are great space-saving solutions for cramped bedrooms. A lot of these lofted interiors are clearly designed for children and teens in terms of sizes, colors and material quality. There is nothing to say that adults could not use this furniture as well and there are certainly more ways to put these sets together than are suggested by these photographs, but they do provide some ways in which you could coordinate colors, materials and forms to create a composite design that looks planned and organized ahead of time.
