50cent was not impressed by Snoop Dogg’s monochrome mani

Mar 5, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Snoop Dogg, or Snoop Lion as he likes to go by now, got a pretty impressive and expensive manicure recently but it wasn’t received well by most.

50cent took to his Instagram account to display his feelings about the whole thing. Sharing a picture of the Drop It like It’s Hot rapper showing off his nails, 50cent wrote: “What the f*** is going on snoop. Talk to me about this one man,Damn #smsaudio”.

Fans of 50cent didn’t like the American rapper’s new style with one commenting: “No way! This is not cool at all …” Another wrote: “I we thought this guy was a “Gangsta” lmaooooo!! [sic]”

Unfortunately, the nails didn’t come cheap as they reportedly cost $400 to get done, so we’re not surprised Snoop wanted to show them off. According to TMZ, the rapper didn’t even have to leave his house in order to get his manicure as two women went to his home to do them.

How to keep split ends at bay

Mar 5, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Split ends usually occur when someone’s hair doesn’t get enough nourishment. Different factors like the weather or harsh hair treatments usually cause dry or damaged hair and a lot of the time it’s the reason why hair doesn’t grow very quickly.

Here is what you can do to prevent split ends so you can have long and healthy hair:

Natural ingredients
Use products that have natural ingredients in them. Avoid anything with alcohol in it as it dries out hair.

Avoid heat
Blow dryers and straighteners are your hairs worst enemy. If you can’t avoid them all the time, apply a heat resistant serum beforehand.

Trim
In the same way you exfoliate to remove dead skin cells, get a trim every six to eight weeks to remove dry and weak hair.

Hair masks
These are great for keeping your hair nourished and healthy. You can experiment with a few or even make your own mask at home.

Serum
Use a hair serum on your ends at least once a week. This will stop them from drying out and splitting.

Relationships

by Amber Saunders

Sometimes it can be difficult to think of heartfelt and thoughtful gifts for your other half.

If you start collecting these things now, soon you’ll have plenty of cute collages or frames to give your love that will make lovely memories come flooding back.

And what could be more romantic than that?

1. Cinema tickets
Keep all of your movie stubs and in a few years you’ll be able to make the cutest collage ever with some retro movies in there.

2. Emails
In today’s technological world, letters rarely get written let alone sent. So instead of collecting love letters like our parents, print off your emails so you can keep them. It’s not quite as romantic, is it?

3. Birthday/Valentine’s/Christmas Cards
If things work out with your other half and you have a birthday card sent so long ago it is signed “from” – well that is going to be simply adorable!

4. Restaurant business cards
Going for dinner is a big part of most relationships. Discreetly collect business cards from the nice places you visit. Chances are at least a few will be in far flung places.

5. Airline boarding passes
Many couples love to travel together. If this is you then collect all of your boarding passes and you can create a lovely collage of pictures from your trip with the passes.

6. Flowers
Yes, we know flowers wilt but if you learn the simple art of flower pressing then they don’t have to! All you need is flowers, newspaper, and some heavy weighted books! Place the flowers in the arrangment you would like inside the sheets of newspaper. Then put the newspaper inside the middle of a large book. Place more large books on top. This weight will help to flatten out and dry them faster. In about 3-4 days your flowers should be ready and preserved to do whatever you like!

7. Festival tickets/wristbands
You’ll likely have to wrestle them off his wrist first! Festivals are always filled with feel-good memories of freedom and no worries. Perfect.
