cute new clothes from a cute new label in Austria

"Sixxa make cool, and sometimes cute, clothes for girls. And puppets. Random, but hey. Inspired by snowboarding and skateboarding, covered in aliens, butterflies and robots, with lots of pink, camo and green. There's something for everyone. No UK stockists yet, but look out for the brand in Austria, and the fact that they were an ISPO Brand New Finalist means they should be destined for bigger things, and new countries, soon."

How to Make Solid Perfume

Because it's easy to make, solid perfume opens the door to experimentation, creativity and individuality. Whether you're looking to set yourself apart with a unique scent or you're not so fond of the alcoholic undertones in most liquid perfumes, these instructions will show you how to create an inexpensive alternative.

Steps [edit]

1. Gather your supplies and ingredients as listed in the "Things You'll Need" section below.
2. 
   Measure out the wax and almond oil into the small glass jar or Pyrex bowl.
3. 
   Melt the wax. Put about an inch of water in a small saucepan, then put the jar or bowl (that has the wax and oil in it) in the water. Bring the water around it to a boil. The wax will melt gradually.
4. Remove the wax from heat when the wax is 100% liquid.
5. 
   Stir in the essential oil with a straw. A straw is used because the wax will start to form solid on whatever you do your stirring with — a straw has little surface area so you lose less of the end product, and it's disposable so you don't have to clean it off. Mix thoroughly.
6. 
   Pour the liquid wax into your final container. In about 30 minutes, it will be cooled, solid and ready to use.
7. Apply perfume. To use the perfume, simply rub a finger around on the surface of the waxy perfume, then rub that finger on the area you want to smell good — the inside of your wrists and behind the ears works well. You can also use solid perfume in many other ways:
   
   
   • Make a simple cedarwood perfume to rub on dog collars. The scent of cedar repels ticks, and smells good, too!
   • Make a cedar or cypress rub for feet — prevents fungus and bacteria-related foot odor.
   • Apply sparingly on business cards — this Japanese tradition makes your card unique and memorable.
   • Rub on the inside of your wallet to get rid of dirty money smell.

Tips [edit]

• The only ingredient that can get expensive is the essential oils, especially if you make a complex scent blend requiring an initial investment in many different oils. Of course, there's nothing wrong with picking a single pleasant scent. One bottle of essential oil will make lots and lots of perfume as you only use drops of essential oil at a time!
• Most stores that sell essential oils have sampler bottles of each one that you can use to "preview" the different scents. Open two or three up at a time and try to get a combined whiff to find a good combination. Pick a primary scent and use more of that one, then one or two "background" scents, using less of each. Some nice essentials for background scents are:
  • clary sage -- a slightly smoky herbal scent that's supposed to help creativity and concentration
  • orange or ginger to provide a warming sensation
  • ylang-ylang -- a floral that isn't too sweet or girly for guys, but it's a happy smell and subtle enough for a backdrop
  • cedar to repel insects
• For an on-the-go applicator, clean out a chapstick tube and fill it with the melted liquid wax.
• For a cool gift, find an appealing container at your thrift store to make it special. In order for fingers to access the solid perfume inside the container must be bowl-like, not bottle-like.
• Check out various aromatherapy sites for info on the psychological properties of various scents.

I saw this on my gmail page today...and it looks really cool so here you go...if you try it please tell me how it turns out.

Things You'll Need [edit]

• 1 tablespoon Beeswax - Beeswax can be purchased at most craft shops.
• 1 tablespoon Almond Oil (or Jojoba Oil or Vitamin E - available at natural foods/health store)
• 8 - 15 drops Essential Oil - You can purchase essential oil at most health food stores.
• 1 container (preferably glass, ceramic or stone but plastic is acceptable)
• a straw

Fashionably Pathetic

so i was walking through the PSU campus yesterday, when a well dressed man in a three piece suit that i can only assume might have been a professor at this school, he came up to me looking very intent to what i was holding in my hand. He gave a gesture that hinted at the request of a cigarette that i was apparently holding in my hand. his words as he approached me were " do you think" then he paused and said oh as i " said i don't smoke" that whole time i was holding my silver LG cell phone.

what does this story have to do with fashion? EVERYTHING

at the moment he gestured for a cigarette, images of Hollywood and how "cool" and "high fashion" smoking appeared in my head.

to me it is ironic that everyone wants to look like the next young "sex figure" as we take a drag and slowly do the opposite and cause our skin to age us 10 years older then our "youthful" age.


Smoking is Fashionable? If you are into looking like your 70

Claw like toes

Ladies if your toes extend further then your big toe or all of your does are long and relatively the same size then please please be aware of this and beware of curtain open toed shoes and how the maybe exaggerate this feature on you and how you may keep your long claw like toes a minimum.


the answer to this problem is still to come...(i want to draw a diagram...so i'll post more at a later date)

HI
