What Type of Bindi is Right for You?

Almost all bindi look pretty in the pack or on the website, but sometimes you can put one on that is all wrong for your face.  Here are a few tips to make sure you get the ones that are right for you.

Face shape is more a matter of the hairline, shadows and bone structure of the facial area than the actual shape of the head.  Big eyes will give the appearance of more weight at the top of the face, as big lips and a prominent chin will give more weight in the bottom center.

Disclaimer

To start with, this article is intended for people over the age of 18, or whatever age legal majority starts in your area.  It is not meant to promote smoking, or to encourage any non smoker to begin smoking.  It is a potentially harmful habit that carries a level of risk somewhere between working in a garage and actually driving.

If you do already smoke though, and don't intend to quit, I would like to strongly encourage you to consider rolling your own.  The hand rolled cigarette or "zig-zag" has come a long way since the old days.

R.Y.O.

The best reason I can think of to start rolling your own is because the vast majority of pre-packaged cigarettes aren't really just tobacco.  Most people who smoke them think they're smoking a real cigarette, but what they're getting is a *censored*tail of chemically treated paper, solvents, and only a fraction of it is tobacco.  It's usually tobacco of such a low quality that it should embarass the manufacturers.

 

Winter is approaching, and the battle against dry skin and the effects of close fitting clothing begins.  With all the new research and conflicting opinions, it can be difficult to decide what's the best and safest way to moisturize one's skin.  I hope in this article, to help you to figure out what choices are best for you as an individual.

Mineral Oil vs. Animal Oils vs. Vegetable Oils

The research came out a few years ago, that cosmetic grade mineral oil is relatively safe for skin.  Since then, there has been an intense debate between scientists, estheticians, and laypersons, about whether or not it is truly safe, or if the claims of safety are just propaganda.

What is a party pool?

A party pool is an old style of making a good time that is recently renewed due to anti smoking legislation.  It's basically a group of friends and families who share hosting duties for whichever nights of the week people usually party.  Some have small friends and guests affairs, and some open their doors somewhat to the public, and/or by reservation.

What is an unstitched salwar kameez?
