• Taking hair from one side of your hair, braid tight • Bring this to the other side of the head • Secure both sides with a bobby pin so that it stays in place • Take all the loose hair and pull it up, twisting it from the base as you go up • Tie it into a messy bun at the top of your head

New way to do a sock bun! 1.) Place your hair into a high ponytail 2.) Cut the end of a sock so that you can place out ponytail through it (the bigger the sock, the fuller your bun will be) 3.) Fan your hair out, making sure the sock is covered all around, then put a hair tie over it 4.) Take the remaining hair and split it in half 5.) Braid each side and wrap around base of bun.

An easy way to keep track of student conferences! Just tape index cards to a file folder - boys on one side, girls on the other. You can easily flip through and write anecdotal notes and the date you met with your students. It is a great reference for report cards and parent meetings.

lovely turquoise bedroom. super clean. i like the wall tones because if you get sick of the blue you can easily change it out with another color. would be so easy to change it up because you're not stuck with an ugly/impossible wall color, but I think there might be too much blue in this one

The PhotoFast i-FlashDrive HD has connectors on both ends. On one end is the USB connector that connects the i-FlashDrive to a Mac or PC and on the other end is an Apple 30-pin connector. The 16 GB and bigger versions of the PhotoFast i-FlashDrive HD comes with an additional snap-on adapter for the Lightning connector. So if you have both types of devices, the i-FlashDrive can cater to both. This also means that you can easily transfer files and

From, “Literary Ink: Famous Authors and Their Tattoos.” Rick Moody has one of the coolest tattoos possible (in our opinion), because it’s part of Shelley Jackson’s Skin project, a 2095-word story published exclusively in tattoos, one word each on as many willing volunteers, so it can never be read in its proper order, but just exists, pulsing, out in the world at all times.

Hanging boot organizers! I had no idea these existed. You can either purchase them for super cheap: $11.99 via Amazon or you could easily DIY yourself up one with an upcycled comforter bag or an old sheet or some great fabric. Edit : Someone asked “These have bad reviews on amazon… Why would this be a suggestion?” My answer is simple…I find storage options and I share them. I don’t always think to read the reviews, I’m guilty of that with my own purchases. This product in particular, I didn’t think to read the reviews because I have used the shoe versions of these and they worked fine. As for the two bad reviews this one received, you could easily solve one problem with a couple clothespins to hold the sides shut.

In the mountains, it's hard to find anything vaguely resembling a beach. Most river and lake banks are simply too steep and too rocky. One exception is the so-called "finger lakes" area of Fontana Lake where you'll find a small park with picnic tables, public restrooms and a swimming area with rope swing. Since there are no life guards, you naturally swim at your own risk. The park is on the south side of Highway 28 near Almond Boat Park. Photo

This is one the most painful and rewarding practices I do. So much tension gets locked up where our IT band hooks into our gluts. After loosening your tissue up you can even upgrade to a lacrosse ball.. Another modification is to place the foot of the leg you are massaging over the opposite knee to stretch the area while you treat it.

Tesla's Model X brings eco to the "minivan." The all electric three-row SUV is expected out in 2014 at a base price of $50,000. Yup, Tesla took a page out of the 'Back to the Future' Delorean and flashy sports cars' book by adding doors that open up rather than out to the side. So any family that has had to park way off in the boonies so that the kids don't open the doors into the car next to you can get excited by the idea that the Falcon Doors

How I grow my tomatoes: in the hole, put in sea mineral salt or epsom salt (2 tablespoons), 1/4-1/2 cup fish emulsion, potassium vitamins, calcium vitamins and one whole, ripe banana. Pinch off the bottom 3-5 branches and bury the plant up past the nubs from where you took the branches off. I also bury gallon jugs next to each one with small holes cut into the bottom side facing the plant roots. This is what I use to water them so that I know

So easy and cute for your table. DIY Centerpieces: 1. Select two cylindrical vases (one a bit smaller than the other). 2. Place roses (or flowers of your choice) in the smaller vase filled with water. 3. Place hard candy sticks (you can find a wide assortment of colors of these hard candies) vertically in the space between the vases. 4. Fill it all the way up! 5. Tie a big pretty bow and you’re all set!

Too Close to a Black Hole Credit & Copyright: Alain Riazuelo Explanation: What would you see if you went right up to a black hole?Above is a computer generated image highlighting how strange things would look. The black hole has such strong gravity that light is noticeably bent towards it - causing some very unusual visual distortions. Every star in the normal frame has at least two bright images - one on each side of the black hole. Near the black hole, you can see the whole sky - light fromevery direction is bent around and comes back to you. The original background map was taken from the2MASS infrared sky survey, with stars from the Henry Draper catalogsuperposed.

How cute is this cake?! Not only does it look awesome, it is so easy to make! All you do is take your favorite cake recipe, bake and let cool. Before frosting, make sure your cake is shorter than a kit-kat bar, if not trim some off the top to leave room for the M&M’s. Frost with your favorite frosting. Take a bunch of kit-kat bars (about 4 large packages), cut or gently break each bar into two sections. Place the bars on the cake, gently pushing into the frosting. Tie with a ribbon and fill the center with M&M’s (about 1 large bag). You can leave some out to pour around the base of your cake, but since this cake was traveling with me to work, I didn’t bother. That’s it! Easy peasy!

A Mother’s Prayer for Her Child By Tina Fey “First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches. May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty. When the Crystal Meth is offered, may she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer. Guide her, protect her when crossing the street, stepping onto boats, swimming in the ocean, swimming in pools, walking near pools, standing on the subway platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll featuring Aerosmith,” and standing on any kind of balcony ever, anywhere, at any age. Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels. What would that be, Lord? Architecture? Midwifery? Golf course design? I’m asking You, because if I knew, I’d be doing it, Youdammit. May she play the Drums to the fiery rhythm of her Own Heart with the sinewy strength of her Own Arms, so she need Not Lie With Drummers. Grant her a Rough Patch from twelve to seventeen.Let her draw horses and be interested in Barbies for much too long, For childhood is short – a Tiger Flower blooming Magenta for one day – And adulthood is long and dry-humping in cars will wait. O Lord, break the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers And the online marketing campaign for Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna Get Stabbed. And when she one day turns on me and calls me a Bitch in front of Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have it. And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back. “My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes. Amen.” -Tina Fey
