These brave women let their boyfriends do their makeup and OF COURSE it’s a disaster So excruciating to watch I now know what getting sprayed down by German machine guns in Normandy must have felt like.
They’ve spent hours waiting, watching us as we finished applying our make up before a big night out. But can our boyfriends recreate the look for us when our brushes, pencils and powders are handed over to them? These girls tried, and the results are just hilarious! How about you? Would you ever turn your look over to the boyfriend, and leave the house with resulting boyfriend-applied make up?

8 easy ways to sneak exercise into your daily life Even people with sedentary jobs or little time can sneak a little physical activity into their daily lives. Here's how.
Humans are built to move, but a lot of the trappings of contemporary life don’t mesh well with that. Most people don’t get the amount of exercise — typically 2.5 hours per week — that doctors recommend. But that doesn’t mean that you have to fall into that, “most people” category. Even people with sedentary jobs or little time to work out can sneak a little physical activity into their daily lives. That doesn’t mean you can skip the gym and just take the stairs, though; combining regular workouts with a little exercise here and there is an excellent way to keep yourself healthy. After all, every little bit helps! Read on for…

Be proud of your vaccine scar Having a smallpox vaccine scar is like walking around with the moon landing and the Sistine Chapel on your upper arm.
In the book Outlander, Claire, a British woman from the 1940s, finds herself in Scotland of the 18th century, recognizes fellow time traveler Geillis Duncan by the smallpox vaccination scar on the other woman’s shoulder. I must admit I would have been just as easily recognizable because I happen to have just such a scar. It’s not for smallpox (which was considered eradicated in 1980), but tuberculosis. I was vaccinated as an infant and then again at school. Everyone was. A school nurse came by every now and then and did the yearly check-ups and vaccinations. For tuberculosis, they did some kind of test on the inside of the elbow…

The “make me beautiful” photoshop experiment Esther Honig sent a picture of herself to 40 photoshoppers across the globe with one request: “Make me beautiful.” Check out the results.
Journalist Esther Honig wanted to examine how the standards of beauty vary across cultures. She sent a picture of herself—makeup free and hair pulled back– to 40 different graphic designers across the globe with only one request: “Make me beautiful.” What she received back blew her mind. (And mine.) Some of the pictures came back with minimal changes, what I think of as studio photo retouching. Like this image from Romania: Others were radically altered. This one is from the Philippines: What struck me is that some designers changed Honig’s features in ways I wouldn’t even think of, going to extremes like changing her eye color, removing collar bones, and…

5 ways to endure your horrible fashion job Only 48% of people in the fashion industry are content with their jobs. They obviously haven't read this.
On a scale of Subway Sweeper to Ice Cream Taster we’d probably pin our fashion jobs around the eight or nine mark, but it seems we’re in the minority. A new survey conducted by New York talent recruitment firm 24 Seven reveals that only 48 percent of those in the industry are content with their jobs — down from 51 percent last year. Apparently fashion workers are also less satisfied with their work-life balance. Only 14 percent of the 1,300 asked were “highly satisfied” with their jobs. The happiest hailed from luxury markets and the least fulfilled are slogging it out for high street brands. Surprise, surprise. BUT we are…

If your children are fat, you are failing as a mother Being poor, lazy, or tired are invalid excuses for tossing a frozen pizza at your fat, unhappy kid.
Most Americans are overweight and don’t see anything wrong with that. As weights have gone up, so have perceptions of being “ideal”, with the ideals getting fatter and fatter and fatter …. and people reporting themselves to be just dandy fine with the situation. Men’s average ideal weight is up 14 pounds since Gallup first measured it in 1990, and their average actual weight is up 16 pounds. Women’s average ideal weight is up 11 pounds since 1990, and their average actual weight is up 14 pounds. Basically, over the past two decades people have consistently said they wanted to lose about 10 to 15 pounds off their current weight…

Why are you so fat? Your body. Your choice.
There is much ado about Stella Boonshoft’s underwear selfie that she recently posted and I have something I have to get off my chest about this whole boondoggle. Stella runs a blog that is part of a Fat Acceptance movement, which is essentially asking the wider culture to accept fat bodies as beautiful and valuable. Which is fair enough. My first reaction on seeing her picture was Eww gross! I do not find fat to be beautiful at all. I don’t personally like how it looks all squishy and soft and the thought of touching that soft warm squishiness makes me yuck! so hard. That’s just me, I know. But…

What does a year’s worth of makeup look like on a face? Melting Voldemort.
How does a year’s worth of makeup look on a face? Filmmakers Lernert & Sander documented it, and believe you me, it’s not pretty. Dubbed ‘Natural Beauty’, the pair and their team piled on 365 applications of make up on Belgian model, Hannalore Knuts, in a nine hour sitting that culminated in the use of 228.40ml of foundation, eyeshadow, blush and lipgloss. The creation of the film also saw a male intern sit through a test session of 100 layers to make sure ‘this amount of makeup wouldn’t kill a person’, (LOL) and poor Hannalore eating and drinking through a straw. This just calls to mind those horror stories of…
