:: retro… in a modern way :: I have been so tickled lately with all the questions about how I get my hair in that retro, 1940’s style. It’s one of my “default” looks that has just evolved over the years; partially because I have a (probably unhealthy) obsession with the 40’s, but also because I really wanted an up do that was flattering to my face shape. It’s super-duper easy to do, and has loads of variations (which I cover at the end). So due to popular request, here’s my first–and possibly only–hair style tutorial! First, I’d really suggest getting a copy of Daniela Turdich’s 1940s Hairstyles. Here’s what you’re going to need for the exact style I’m demonstrating (other ideas at the end of this tutorial). ♥ bobby pins♥ hair pins♥ fine, hair net♥ rat-tail, or part comb♥ brush♥ super-strength hair spray (I know it’s horrible for the environment, but the aerosol spray is best, imho) ♥ flowers, bows, cherry-sprays, or other do-dads to tuck in the up do Ready? Pin in place as described above. Voila–finished roll!!!

How-To: The Cascade/Waterfall Braid The waterfall braid also known as the cascade braid recently exploded as the new "trend braid" of the season. The waterfall effect looks cool and complex, but it's easier to style than you think. Give this beautiful braid a try when Beautylish takes you through the how-to!

Guide to Pigment Pressing (PIC HEAVY) - Specktra.net MAC Makeup Community Hey there, this is my first tutorial! I'm aware that many of you already know how to do this as there's many pigment pressing tuts, but I was bored and this kept me entertained. I originally posted this here: What You Will Need (NOT PICTURED: Optional items such as a straight iron and baking paper) Where can I find empty eyeshadow pans? Where can I buy alcohol for pressing? How long do I leave the pigment to 'dry' before pressing? How does the colour payoff/texture compare?

Get Yo’ Nails Did Okay, so we’re only three weeks in to this whole thing and I’m already showing you a tame look after I totally promised some of you that I’d do a newsprint nail tutorial this week. Newsprint we can do next week, but for right now I wanted/needed a manicure by a professional. As I told you in the first “Get Yo’ Nails Did”, it’s important to include real manicures in your nail routine if you’re not comfortable cutting your cuticles and getting into the real work at home. I am not. I’m willing to shell out $20 bucks to have the dirty work done right, but I’m not going to splurge on nail art at the salon most of the time. As you can see from the photo above, I prefer to do a basic manicure but make it a little different by switching up the colors on my index and middle fingers. That’s another thing: Remember that, while you should always be extremely polite to your manicurist, you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for exactly what you want and to tell him/her if it’s not done correctly.
Never Talk to the Police | Quick Hitts By Dave Hitt on Mar 31, 2010 in Featured, Police State What’s the best response when a cop asks you something? Silence, or a short, polite non-answer. Shut up. You should be polite and calm whenever dealing with any armed person. These videos made the rounds about a year ago. In the first part of the first video a fast talking law professor gives you detailed reasons why you should never talk to the police. This is part two, where a former police officer fills in the details. Here are some practical examples of how to legally preserve your rights in an encounter with police: Ok, after all that heavy duty stuff, we need a breather. 12 Gadgets to Survive the Apocalypse Now is a good time to ponder the apocalypse.

In that dismal spirit, the Switched team has gathered its first choices for last-chance gadgetry -- a collection of 12 must-haves if society is in peril, whether it be by fire or ice, zombies or aliens.
