For many years, it felt like there was a choice before us: look grown-up and sexy or clomp around like a hearty German tourist. We all knew that flats were practical. But like pencil skirts and straightened hair, high heels denoted polish.
Looking over the fall fashion spreads of designer orthopedic sandals and neon-hued sneakers, I suspect that girls today probably don’t feel the need to wear heels to transform themselves into grown-up women the way I did. Whereas heels were once integral to power dressing, flats now connote a liberation from that stereotype. As clothes have become more gender-neutral, the need to announce our femininity with a percussive soundtrack has vanished.

Glitter nail polish: So pretty to look at, such a b-tch to put on, amirite? All my nail polish lovers out there know this struggle. Getting that perfect application that doesn't come out gloopy, patchy, uneven, or take hours to dry can feel near impossible. And let's not even talk about the removal process.
So, with all that said and with Halloween and the holidays coming up, it was like fate that I stumbled upon this glitter nails video on YouTube. I wasn't expecting it to change my life (as so many tutorials always promise to do), but after trying it out, I'm pretty confident this sorcery will both shock and mesmerize you. Now, if you're a nail technician, you might already know this trick. But for the at-home-manicure-challenged, you're going to want to keep reading.
The secret? If you paint on glitter nail polish like you would any other color in your collection, you're doing it wrong. At least according to nail vlogger Kelli Marissa. But the good news is, if you want it to look as good and intensely glittery as it does in the bottle, she's got an epic tip for you.
2. Line the skin around your nails with liquid latex so it won't get covered in polish.

3. Apply the glitter nail polish of your choice onto the edge of a makeup sponge.

4. Dab the sponge onto your nail. (FYI, this is where the real trick lies. The sponge soaks up most of the actual nail polish leaving just the glitter behind, so it goes on dense and opaque in one fell swoop.)

5. Peel off the liquid latex.

6. Apply your top coat so the glitter doesn't chip off as easily.

If you've ever found yourself frantically Googling "how to fill in eyebrows," then we have something in common. My sad, scrawny eyebrows just don't grow. (Like many teenagers of the '90s, I was an overzealous tweezer.) But bold eyebrows have been the trend for a while now; so about six months ago, I followed an eyebrow tutorial and started aggressively filling in my brows. I loved the result. Then, one day, my best friend looked at me and said, "Your eyebrow pencil is really obvious."
What? I resisted the urge to slap her in the face -- as well as the one to cry -- and defended my brow work. After all, I was using a pricey pencil, and a makeup artist had approved the color.
Fast-forward a few weeks. I had a meeting with brow expert Zoey Van Jones, and I couldn't wait to see what she thought of my brow penciling technique.
"They look pretty good," she said (just being polite, I now realize). Then, she grabbed a spoolie brush, erased the pencil and powdered in my brows with a few quick strokes. My eyebrows -- my whole face, even -- were instantly transformed. They looked thicker, more symmetrical and -- best of all -- completely natural.
So if your best friend has ever informed you that your eyebrow game needs improvement, let these eyebrow tutorial be your guide. Here, how to fill in eyebrows correctly. Try it -- I guarantee you'll notice a big difference.
Before learning how to shape eyebrows the right way, you need the appropriate tools. Van Jones recommends using two shades of brow powder, such as Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, $23. (More on why you need two shades later.) Benefit Brow Zings, $32, and Urban Decay Brow Box, $30, are other great options.
Van Jones prefers powder because the result is softer. But if you're married to pencil for doing your brows, she suggests looking for one that's powdery -- not waxy. She likes M.A.C. Eye Brows, $16, and Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil, $24. If your brows lack structure, you can start with the pencil and use powder on top of it, she says.
This is the correct way. Obviously. (Photo: Kimberly Hall/Shutterstock)
In any given household, wars between spouses, families and roommates are waged on a variety of different fronts. Who does the dishes tonight? Who will take out the trash? How could Steve have left the toilet seat up...again? And seriously, who finished the coffee but didn't refill the pot? The audacity.
Individuals have to figure out most of these issues themselves through awkward household meetings, and, likely, more than a little bit of passive aggressive behavior.
But today, we are thrilled to report that some questions do have answers. And it might be the most important household dispute you can imagine. For far too long people have been arguing about whether the toilet paper roll should go over (meaning the toilet paper feeds out over the top) or under (meaning the toilet paper would come out from underneath).
Thanks to a patent filed on June 8, 1891 by inventor Seth Wheeler — that's 124 years ago! — we now know that the "overs" were correct. I write this as a girl who used to be an "under." I know, the shame.
Fight as the "unders" might, the proof is in the diagram.

In addition to settling that long argued upon question, the patent tells us a bit more about toilet paper, and why we should recognize Wheeler for making bathroom time a little more user friendly. According to the patent, we have him to thank for easily tearable pieces of tissue.
In a letter to the United States Patent Office, Wheeler describes how wrapping-paper (that's what he called toilet paper) used to be packaged. He wrote, "In the manufacture of wrapping-paper it is usual to cut the same into sheets, count them out into quires or half-quires, fold them, and tie them up into bundles, such as half-reams or reams."
Wheeler wrote about his improvements, "My invention consists of a roll of connected sheets of paper for toilet use, said roll having incisions at intervals extending from the side of the web toward the center, but not meeting, and terminating in an angular out, whereby the slight connection left may be separated without injury to the connected sheets."
As for the original debate between the "overs" and the "unders," as a more recently converted "over," let me say to all those religiously holding on to their "under" status, having the toilet paper dispense from the top is actually more convenient. I swear. It takes a few weeks to get used to it, and then you start scoffing whenever you see it positioned the other way.
Trust Seth Wheeler. He hasn't steered us wrong so far.

Amount of freshwater available on Earth, compared to the Earth. From the U.S. Geological Survey
For this part of the Journey, jason explore what he love about water, how they use it, why it is important, and how can personally conserve water and keep it clean.
Water Map. On a large sheet of paper, outline a map of a local waterway that the boys may be familiar with. Or use a paper map of your area and highlight the local waterways and mark water-related landmarks that the girls may be familiar with. For our troop, we used a map of Maryland, highlighting the stream behind our meeting place down the local rivers to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. We marked the place where we went camping near the river and where we went sailing to show how they were all connected.
On blue cutout waterdrop papers, the girls wrote down or drew things they love to do with water. We didn't, but could have used different colors of paper for things they love to do (e.g., swimming, sailing, go to the beach, ski, sled, ice skate, make hot chocolate), things they have to do (e.g., take baths, wash hands, cook, water plants, wash dishes and clothes), and things others do with water that they benefit from (e.g., grow watermelons, keep cows for milk, make ice, used in manufacturing almost anything in your house). We taped the waterdrop papers to the map near where the activities happen (when possible) or around the outside. We talked about how things that happen upstream (trash thrown in the stream) could impact the things we like to do downstream (trash in the water near our campsite).
Another troop posted pictures of their water drops.
Fieldscope maps. National Geographic has a Chesapeake Bay FieldScope website that lets you explore the areas around the bay, adding different layers of data to the map. You can see how the water flows down the rivers, into the bay, and out to the ocean. You can add a "query point" to the map, then trace how water flows from there into the bay.
Water Cycle Experiment 1. In a clear plastic box (e.g., a clamshell box like fresh vegetables come in sometimes), put a 'mountain' of refried beans on one side, leaving room for a 'lake' on the other side. Before you start and as you go along, ask the scouts to describe what they see. Pour in ~1/2 cup of boiling water down the mountain. How does the water flow? Does it form things that look like streams/rivers that merge together? Close the clamshell. Watch the steam build up on the roof, like clouds. Next, put 2-3 ice cubes in a ziploc bag (so it doesn't leak) or use a small cooler pack, and set it on top of the clamshell over the mountain. See if the 'clouds' over the mountain start to 'rain' as the water cools.
Just found another version of this at Corkboard Connections using a rotisserie chicken plastic container.
Rain in a Bag. Rain in a Bag would work as a quick opening craft for a take-home activity. The scouts draw a lake landscape on a Ziploc bag and add water. At home, tape the bags to a sunny window, and report back what happened at the next meeting.
State of Water play-acting. We discussed the different states of matter for water and pretended to be water molecules with arms stuck out in a V-shape. The girls pretended to be molecules as they changed from a liquid (all in a circle, but could move around within the circle) to a gas (moving around the room, but bouncing off one another and the walls/furniture), then back into a liquid, then into a solid (ice, but in a crystal structure with girls only able to touch each other's backs with one hand).
From South Africa's RAND Water
Wetland in a Bottle. We did this activity on a troop camping trip. We brought a couple of empty 2-liter plastic soda bottles precut, then asked the girls to gather up the soil, grass, leaves, small rocks, etc. from around the campsite to make their own wetland. Best to use some dirty water with grass, etc. floating in it, so the scouts get the idea of how the wetlands clean the water. We made sure to show them the "cleaner" water coming out of the spout and ask them if it looked like what they saw on a hike down to a local river (about the same color). www.randwater.co.za/CorporateResponsibility/WWE/Pages/WetlandModel.aspxFile:Building a model of a Wetland.docxWetland in a bottle trio. If you have more time and/or some place to leave plants to grow over a week or two, you could try this.
After learning the importance of water, the scouts develop a project for how to save water and advocate for it in their communities.
Ideas for helping the girls learn about why it is important to save water:
Fetching and Carrying discussion. My troop discussed why it is important to save water and how some people don't have it piped to their homes. They have to fetch and carry it themselves -- and that this is often done by girls their age, who then don't have time to go to school. When they said "Yeah!" to not going to school, I mentioned that, then, they wouldn't learn to read and therefore couldn't read Harry Potter ("Oh NO!").
Water Relay. After a quick discussion of importance, the girls did a Water Relay with jugs of water to see how hard this was. They did it once holding a jug of water on their head down a long hallway, and once holding a jug in each hand. It gave them the idea of how tiring it could be. (We did this in February, so we had to do it inside; if it had been warmer, I might have tried it outside with buckets instead.
Ideas for how the girls could save water:
Water Conservation Charades. I found 20 ways that 7-9 year olds could save water themselves File:Water charades.pdf (instead of some of the suggestions on the web to "replace your toilet" which they can't really do themselves!). I put these on small pieces of paper and had pairs of girls draw slips. They acted out their conservation example for the other girls to guess at. It made the learning a lot more fun.
Saving Water game. Found this game at http://www.get2knowh2o.org/student/Exp2.pdf. The girls split into two teams (conservers and non-conservers) with separate buckets and instructions on when and how much water to "use" for different tasks. At the end they compare how much water they have left.
Can You Undo Water Pollution? Experiment. Put some household trash, including vegetable oil, coffee grounds, and solid wastes, in a tub of water. Have the girls use tongs and a sieve to see how hard it is to clean the water.
Measuring success:
Water Meter Tracking. I gave the girls a homework sheet to take home to remind them to tell their families about how to save water, and on the back, I printed up all 20 ways to save water that the girls discussed during the meeting. Also on the sheet was a table for them to write down their meter readings at their home, and asked them to do one reading soon after the meeting, and do at least one other reading before the next meeting. I put more rows on the table, in case any girls wanted to track it more often than this, with room for them to do the subtraction of one reading from the other to see how much water their family used. (FYI, i did check with all of the parents ahead of time to make sure they each had access to the water meter in their house. If you have families in apartments, this might not be possible).
World Water Monitoring Challenge for National Public Lands Day
Be a Citizen Scientist: Monitor Water at a Public Land Near You! An official World Water Monitoring 'Day' occurs annually on September 18. Monitor water quality at a local public land during NPLD. Learn about common indicators of healthy water and water issues that affect public lands. Register your project online with WWMC. To receive a test kit, be sure to indicate you are affiliated with National Public Lands Day! For more information visit: the World Water Monitoring Challenge and National Public Lands Day websites.
Then, the scouts share what they have learned and done to inspire others to take action.
Finally, the scouts celebrate and reflect on what they have done to save water.
• "Statistics show that essentially every person on the planet that has running water – also has a mobile phone." (BrainPOP tweet, 9/2/2011). Now how can we use that in a WOW project?
• "Many of us don't realize how much fresh water goes into growing our food -- it takes 13 bath tubs to make a normal-sized chocolate bar," said Sarah Richardson, manager of the museum's "Water Wars" exhibition. (Scientific American, World Water Crisis Spurs Inventors, September 20, 2011)
• A bucketful of H2O has more atoms in it than there are bucketfuls of H20 in the Atlantic Ocean. (USA ScienceFest twitter tweet, February 8, 2012)
• World Water Day, March 22nd. This is an occasion to take stock of what is happening around the world in respect to water use, quality and shortages. As the world population increases and diets continue to improve, demands can only increase for fresh water. More information about water and World Water Day are available on the United Nations website.

Every November in the U.S. (October in Canada) we celebrate Thanksgiving. For many years, Thanksgiving was a day full of food, family and most importantly, a long weekend off of school for me. Don’t get me wrong, I was raised to have a thankful heart for everything I’ve ever been given. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized the importance of daily thankfulness. When I purpose to take a moment each day and inventory all the good I been blessed with in my life, it always changes my attitude and improves my mood. A heart overflowing with thankfulness is a joyful heart.
I challenge you today, on the 4th day of November, to join with me in this Thankfulness Challenge that I began on my Hello Gorgeous Facebook page. You can do it privately, by just taking a few moments every day to mentally assess one thing or person you’re grateful to have in your life. Or you can join me on Facebook and comment along with my post each day. You can also share my daily posts to your own personal Facebook page to share with your family and friends. However you’d like to join in!
In the current climate of negativity that is so overwhelming on social media, I wanted to create a space each day where I can post something positive. I’m hoping to encourage my Gorgeous Fam to do the same. I can’t control what others post or comment, but I can be different. I can be positive and I can be thankful. And you can too. I hope you choose to join me on this journey of thankfulness. Let’s kick it off by commenting below with what you are thankful for today.
Just a couple things about this look… Which, I gotta say, is the perfect Fall outfit. I meannnn, am I not right?!
You probably recognize these killer over-the-knee boots from this Instagram post. I had so many of you ask if they were actually comfortable to wear. The answer is a big, fat Y.E.S! The heel is 3.5″ but the chunkiness of the heel is what makes them so easy to walk or stand in. The quality is great too. If you struggle with OTK boots being too large in the knee/thigh area, these are great because they tie in the back, allowing for a better fit. The price tag is amazing at under $130. I also own this pair, with a zip closure, that are under $100. Both pairs are awesome dupes for the oh-so-coveted Stuart Weitzman’s that return every year.
This sweater color is everything for Fall. I saw a segment on the Today Show this morning talking about this gorgeous rust color. They referred to this shade as “Pumpkin Spice” and that just made me happy. It’s so fitting for this time of year. This beautiful turtleneck sweater also comes in “Forrest Green.”
The last thing I want to touch on is my nail polish. I saw a pin on Pinterest a few weeks ago branding this shade as the perfect Fall nail color. I immediately had to get my hands on a bottle. And girl, let me just tell you, this polish did not disappoint me. I’m basically obsessed. This polish is Essie’s “Angora Cardi“ and I’m not going to lie… I’ll probably wear it several more times before Spring arrives.
