Review: Duma Key « Book Chatter Duma KeyBy Stephen King (Scribner, Hardcover, 9781416552512, January 2008, 624pp.) The Short of It: Once again, King pulls you in with his vivid imagination, colorful characters and wry sense of humor. The Rest of It: I’ve got a thing for King. After surviving a construction accident that nearly kills him, Edgar is forced to come to terms with his new life. Why I loved this book: Memorable characters. When I mentioned that I was reading this one, a lot of you said that you were looking forward to the audio version. Needless to say, I added this to my list of faves for this year even though it’s not literary or considered one of those “must-read-before-you-die” books. Source: Borrowed.

Sea of Shoes: HAIR HOW-TO - StumbleUpon I am sometimes asked how I style my hair, and while my method is far from perfect, I thought I'd show you how! My hair is pretty straight and fine naturally and I always let it air dry. Since I go about three days between washes, I like to curl it on the first day and let it mellow out into some nice waves over the next two. Let's get started! If your hair doesn't hold curl very well then you may want to put a palmful of curling mousse in it when it is halfway dry. (though I want to upgrade to one of the fancy new ones from Sultra soon!) When I'm done curling the bottom section, I mist it with Bumble and bumble Spray de Mode and comb through the curl with my fingers. Ahh!! If you want to dress it up a little, you can do a braided headband look! Find a spot on the opposite side of your head and pin it so that it blends in naturally with the rest of your hairstyle. Well, that's it!

How To Style Maiden Braids - A Beautiful Mess - StumbleUpon 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. Kelsie has extremely long and thick hair, but anyone with shoulder length or longer can do these braids (see my photo below for an example). 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.

If World War Two Was A Bar Fight | 10 Times One *Interpretation taken from the Canadian military forum at Army.ca. Thanks boys! Still sore from the night before, Germany has had one too many pints. Sauced now and belligerent, Germany is glaring angrily about the bar. With nothing better to do, Germany challenges Soviet Russia to an arm wrestling match at the Spanish table, while Japan was in the back room whacking China with a pool cue. Armwrestling over, Germany goes to the bar again and orders another pint and one for Austria. Before Czechoslovakia can jump from the bar stool and take a swing, Britain walks over and stands between the two, saying, “Can’t we just get along? Humiliated, Czechoslovakia hands over the shirt and Britain walks back to the corner table with France saying, “See? At the other end of the pub, Italy has finally found someone to fight: it kicks Ethiopia in the goolies as they walk in. Poland stands up to confront Germany beckoning for England and France to come over and help.
Top Five Concealers Any woman will tell: diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend — concealer is. Whether you’re battling bags, blemishes, or fine lines, the right concealer can work wonders. We’ve rounded up the best cover up for every type of skin concern. Read on to find your new BFF. Blemishes: Miracle Skin Transformer™ Treat and Conceal When pesky zits pop up (which happens far more frequently than we’d like), hiding them is equally as important as healing them. Undereye Circles and Bags: Benefit Ooh La Lift We’ve come to terms with the fact that we are perpetually tired, but that doesn’t mean we need to look it. Fine Lines: Clinique Line Smoothing Concealer One of our pet peeves is taking a closer look at our under eye concealing handiwork only to spy a multitude of fine lines. Natural Coverage: Mineralogie Ultimate Cream Concealer We always want maximum coverage, but not the cakey look that comes with it. Brightening: YSL Touche Éclat In need of more makeup inspiration?

Ikea Science Fiction by Susana Polo | 11:53 am, May 9th, 2011 I could make some joke here about how Ikea directions always make me feel like I’m expected to build something that’s bigger on the inside, but I actually have never had that much trouble following Ikea directions THERE I SAID IT. Seriously, if you’ve ever put together some Lego sets, you already have all the experience you need. No, the problem I always seem to have is with the furniture where you have to pick up extra parts that aren’t expressly mentioned all over the boxes of the parts you already have, and I find that I’ve left a vital element of a bed, like the bits that hold up the mattress, at the warehouse. (via College Humor.)
One Day, One Deal™ Forget that “One Two Three Crunch” crap. They’re stone-cold. Yeah, you grow up being fed anti-owl propaganda in nursery rhymes. “Oh, Mr. Owl is so wise and distant! Don’t believe it? So put on this shirt. Seriously. Wear this shirt: with a group of people, when going to see George Clinton. Don’t wear this shirt: in all the owl’d familiar places. This shirt tells the world: “Here’s your chance to make owl puns! We call this color: Grassy Kn-owl? Back to top
