How to make your manicure last longer

When ladies get their nails done, they want them to last forever and chipped nails/worn-out manis can scare the living daylight out of them. We understand that in a perfect world, manicures would last for as long as we’d want them to but alas, it does not work like that. However, with a couple of simple steps you can make your manicure last longer. We have got you covered. Whether you choose simple nail paints or some creative nail art, follow these directions to always maintain no-fail nails. Take a look at these easy tips and tricks that can help you make your manicure last longer.

#1 Prime your nails with a base coat

Always use a base coat to prime your nails, using a base coat allows the selected colour to stay on the nail. It also protects the nail from any stains that a darker polish may leave. Also, the hardeners in most base coats can improve the overall health of the nail, therefore allowing it to grow according to your preference. Paint two layers of base coat; one on the top half of your nail and the second coat over the entire nail. This will help keep the polish on the tips of your nails from chipping.

#2 The top coat is as important as the base coat

Adding a top coat to your mani is also equally important. A top coat is absolutely necessary to seal the colour to get the perfect gloss finish. Apart from setting the polish and providing your polish the staying power for weeks, it also prevents your nails from chipping. Added bonus? It protects your nails from ultraviolet rays of sun giving them a beautiful sheen.

#3 Moisturise your nails

It is a known fact that moisturising the skin does wonders for it then why leave the nails behind? When you have a nice manicure, take extra time to use hand lotion with ingredients like glycol, macadamia oil, cocoa butter and more. The more moisturised your skin is, the longer your manicure would stay. Also, maintain your cuticles because dry hands are one thing, but dry cuticles just take the shabby game up many notches. Keep your nail beds healthy and your manicure alive for longer by moisturising them regularly. Cuticle oil is the perfect way to achieve this because it contains nutrients like Aloe Vera and vitamin E that help resist breakage and promote nourished nails.

#4 File and Buff

Filing and buffing plays a very important role in making your manicure last longer. It allows the nails to remain healthy and prevents breakage. Invest in a four-sided buff, file, polish and shine block and believe us, it will improve your nails instantly. Make sure to file your nails in one direction; this way your nails won’t feather and the application of your polish will look better and last longer. Buffing helps in smoothing out the bumps on your nails and allows the polish to lay flat preventing it from cracking due to the small dips and dents in your nails.

#5 Maintenance

The maintenance is also important in between manicures. Reckless weather, washing hands and showering can also make your manicure worse. Everyone knows the two coats of paint rule but to protect from wear and tear, add a layer of top coat every day or every other day. Doing so will keep your nails fresh and turn your mani days into weeks. The extra layer adds a glossier look and you won’t have to worry about removing your nail polish frequently.

#6 Do not miss the edges

Don’t skip the ‘free edges’ of your nails. Most of us miss out applying nail paint till the edge of our nails and that makes way for chipped paint. Run the base coat, paint, and top coat to the top edge or even the inner edge of your nails to ensure your entire nail is sealed. Wait for each coat to settle before you apply the next. This will make your manicure last longer.

#7 Eat healthy

Last but certainly not the least; eat healthy to keep your nails healthy. Add a lot of vitamins in your diet and supplements like B-12, Zinc and Iron to maintain healthy nails.

Five hair trends that every lazy girl will love!

Every woman loves it when her hair is right. Even if the outfit isn’t so on point one day, the perfect hair can steal the show and make one look beautiful. However, getting the hair right is almost the most time-consuming part of the day and every girl doesn’t find so much time. There are also ladies who are just lazy to spend so much time doing their hair, sleep remains their bigger priority. And let us take this moment to tell you that it is okay to be like that especially when there are easy ways of keeping your hair sorted. Here are five hair trends for the lazy girl in you to get the hair game right on point.

1) Top knot

Who doesn’t love a good top knot? We understand it’s a herculean task to get out of your cozy bed and wash your hair especially during winter, but all you need to do is pick a sock that is similar to your hair colour and follow the steps. Tie your hair into a high ponytail, cut the sock from the toe-end and roll it till it looks like a donut. After you have the donut ready, tuck your hair around the sock and start rolling it from the end till the ponytail.

2) Statement Part

If you are too lazy to do anything with your hair, try keeping it simple with a statement part. Run the brush across your hair and give yourself a perfect center- part. If that doesn’t work for you, settle for a side part.

3) Flaunt your waves

If you want to get curls or wavy hair without spending hours at the salon then adopt this easy way to get waves. Wash your hair at night, braid it and sleep over it. Open the braids in the morning to see the magic.

4) Keep your hair long

Keep your hair long and straight if you’re not a fan of regular styling. It’s not important to get a haircut every month to up your hair styling game. Just keep them long and plain.

5) Twisted Ponytail

Twisted ponytails sound way difficult than they are in reality. Twisted ponytail is one of the best hair trends for lazy girls. All you need to do is divide your ponytail into two parts, twist one part of the ponytail and wrap it around the other.

DIY: 30 second ponytail hack

Ladies, your lipstick will help you get a thicker ponytail… ughhh, actually the lid of your lipstick. Make your ponytail look thicker and perkier in just 30 seconds or less. Check out this simple DIY ponytail hack by YouTuber Kayley Melissa which works wonders for your hair.

This DIY ponytail hack helps you during those hectic and busy days when you choose to tie your hair in a ponytail and work throughout the day because this holds your ponytail all day long.

How to do that?

Start by sweeping your hair into a ponytail at whatever height you like and secure it with a hair-tie.

Now, it’s time to use your magic weapon (okay, we know it’s just a lipstick lid).

Split your hair in half, stick the lid into your ponytail and let your hair down. This will make your ponytail look wider and little bit bouncy at the same time. (*wink*)

And, that’s it!

Few tips to keep in mind:

Make sure your hair-tie is loose enough to accommodate the width of the lipstick lid (or whatever you are sticking in your ponytail) because otherwise you will not be able to wedge it into your ponytail.

If you want to adjust your ponytail, make sure to hold the lid against your head while you do so because if you don’t, then the elastic might get underneath the lid and cause it to fall out.

This is optional but if you want to tie a piece of hair around the base of your ponytail, bobby pin it off to the side instead of pinning it underneath the elastic. This way the bobby pin would not get in the way of the lid and will hold the end of your hair in place.

How to get rid of dark circles

No matter what you do, those pesky bags keep popping up – uninvited! We know for a fact that many of you have experienced dark circles under your eyes. They don’t only make you look lethargic and ill but are even harder to get rid of. There are many factors that cause this skin discolouration, some of which are unavoidable such as age or illness. However, there are many ways to prevent them. If you are tired of looking tired, read on to identify what could be causing these dark circles and how to get rid of them!

Source

1) Treat your allergies

Discolouration of skin under the eyes is commonly caused by allergies and the only solution to get rid of dark circles is to find out the reasons behind the allergies and removing the allergen. If you are struggling to work out the root of your problem, don’t hesitate to get an appointment with a dermatologist to access what could be causing your allergic reaction. Seasonal allergy problems such as the hay fever can frequently be effectively treated with over-the-counter and prescribed medication.

2) Invest in a good eye cream

Selecting an eye cream can be confusing especially when there are so many options to choose from. Avoid creams containing a lot of harsh chemicals and look for products which contain retinol and vitamin K because these two magical ingredients have been proven to reduce dark circles considerably. Creams containing them reduce puffiness and discolouration significantly. Please note that their effects can only be noticed in the long term.

3) Reduce salt intake

Excessive salt causes the body to retain water in unusual places and this can result in puffiness under the eyes. Too much salt can also cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer and you may suffer from fluid retention which is a major cause of dark circles under the eyes. Eat a good range of fruit and vegetables, stick to the freshest you can find and try cutting down on raw salt from your diet. Also, drink a lot of water; It is the simplest and best way to get overall good health and appearance. Vitamin deficiencies play havoc with our skin and dark circles can be caused by a lack of vitamin K or B12, so less salt and more water.

4) De-stress yourself

Stress is also one of the reasons for the reappearance of dark circles. Knock off all the sources of stress and anxiety that are preventing you from sleeping, eating and resting properly. Yoga or meditation, if practiced regularly, also helps in calming your mind, body and soul. Pick up any activity to soothe your mind and choose anything you want to do like reading, cooking, dancing or working out. Relaxing enough will help the skin beneath your eyes to improve as you feel less stressed and more at ease.

5) Homemade spa treatment

Spare some time for your eyes in the morning before getting ready. Cut cucumber slices or soak green tea bags in water, cool it down by placing it in the refrigerator for a while and place them over your eyes. The tannin in tea reduces discolouration, and the cucumber reduces puffiness. Use this remedy on a regular basis to see considerable difference.

6) Get your beauty sleep

Last but certainly not the least, get a sound and good night sleep, daily. It’s not entirely clear why inadequate sleep results in dark circles under the eyes but lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become pale which results in appearance of darkness under the eyes. It’s also believed that lying down on the bed for less time is a cause in itself. So, it is advisable to take minimum 8 hours sleep everyday. Also, remove all your makeup before going to bed. Insufficient sleep causes your eyes look tired and puffier.

How to style a tea-length skirt

Hemlines play a very important role when it comes to skirts. The right length can lift your outfit or drag it down to the fashion police. If thigh-high shirt skirts or floor-sweeping maxi skirts are not your pick, try tea-length skirts. There is nothing daintier than a hem that hits at the calf. The term tea-length doesn’t suggest a specific length but this style of a skirt has a very special look. Falling anywhere between the middle of the knee and above the ankle, it holds both a retro charm and contemporary elegance. The mid-calf proportion might seem intimidating at the first glance, but a little thoughtful styling makes it easy to take on. They are often A-line in style, but you can find fitted tea-length skirts or dresses too.

Here are a few facts about tea-length skirts

Around the mid-19th century, tea-length garments were a woman’s go-to attire and this is what they used to wear to the tea table.

Tea-length skirts or even dresses were a very big trend during the golden age of Hollywood.

We’d recommend a tea-length skirt if you’re in the mood for a retro-inspired look. You can wear them to brunch with your girl friends, family get-togethers or to a special evening with your bae.

How to style a tea-length skirt and look classy in this vintage silhouette?

For printed tea-length skirts

Pair them up with plain ivory/ecru shirt or a solid color full sleeves t-shirt. You can also throw on a chunky sweater for colder weather. But if nothing works, wear a plain black or white top to compliment the printed pattern.

For coloured tea-length skirts

Wear a crisp white shirt and a scarf for a more sophisticated look. Choose a sheer lace top or striped t-shirt to balance out the look or pair up your coloured tea-length skirt with a simple crop top.

How to turn a dress into a skirt

Wearing a dress as a skirt doesn’t take any magical powers. Instead, it is probably a lot simpler than you think. It just takes a little trick and putting together the right pieces from your wardrobe. The great thing about this magic trick is that you can get more use out of those pretty looking dresses that once gave your savings a massive hit.

Ladies, you can actually wear all your dresses; a feather dress, a skater dress or a bandage dress in these chilly winter days by turning them into a skirt. Layer up your dress with a chunky sweater, leather jacket or basic knit and add some accessories (a statement necklace maybe?) to make heads turn.

Take a look at this video by the YouTuber Sydne Summer and learn how to turn a dress into a skirt.

7 things you can do alone on New Years!
If you don’t have plans this 31^st December, here’s a list of things that you can do (all by yourself) and welcome the fabulous New Year with a smile. Take a look.
1. Grab a bottle of wine!
For some, drinking alone could be a complete no-no but the New Year won’t judge you (we promise). Just order a bottle of fine wine and make sure you finish it before you give your eyes some rest. The best part about chilling alone is you don’t have to share your booze… so drink away!
1. Do an entire season marathon of your favourite series!
Or better yet, combine the wine with your favourite series and watch all the episodes back to back until you finish an entire season!
1. Take a solo vacation nearby.
That’s right! Pack your bags, book a hotel somewhere nearby and order room service! Go for a hike later or simply watch TV and enjoy some time in solitude!
1. Skype with your friend who’s also celebrating alone!
We bet you’re not the only one who would be alone when the clock strikes 12! Find out which one of your friends is going solo this year and Skype with them. Voila! You have company!
1. Go to a club… who knows whom you might bump into!
Get dressed, go out and try your luck! And while you’re at it, the only song that should play in your head has to be – ‘We’re up all night to get lucky’ by Pharrell Williams.
1. Pamper yourself online with great New Year deals!
Last year, you spent a bomb on a crazy party at the most happening club in the city on New Year’s Eve. This year, however, you have all that cash lying safely in your bank account. Splurge away guilt-free on those incredible online New Year deals, while everyone else is too busy socialising!
1. Crash a random New Year’s party.
Be daring. Go to the nearest party with loud music and people! It might sound risky but believe us, most of the people would be too drunk to care whose plus one you are! Could it get any better with free booze and food?

11 Worst makeup trends of 2015

Every year brings with itself a list of trends that we prepare ourselves for. Some turn out to be good, some bad and some make us feel why they existed in the first place. It’s a safe trick to follow a trend that looks good on a celeb or a supermodel but blindly following a trend just because it was spotted in the magazines or on the runway is not always the right choice. Just to help all you makeup lovers out there, we’ve spotted some of the worst makeup trends from 2015 that we hope to God find a nice place in the graveyard of departed makeup trends. Here are the 11 worst makeup trends of 2015. Take a look.

Warning: lots of drama ahead

Clumpy lashes

There is nothing good about clumpy mascara and this is certainly not a makeup trend anyone needs in 2016. It makes your eyelashes look absolutely strange and also takes a hell lot of time to come off. So, if you were on the clumpy lash train in 2015, it’s time to get off now. Thanks to runway looks, clumpy lashes gained popularity this year but this makeup trend should be just forgotten as a scary nightmare.

Black lips

Jet-black lips for casual Friday at office? Sounds horrible. You really don’t want your friends or colleagues feeling like you were rehearsing for Halloween, do you? Since black lipstick is actually pretty difficult to pull off and might make you look witchy, this beauty trend should be left in 2015 only. Switch your black bullet for an ox-blood or burgundy lip color, like the Kendall sisters, and please do not ever go back.

Cream contouring

The importance of contouring was no doubt the most powerful makeup lesson of 2015 but even good things have a limit. No one needs as much contouring as Kim Kardashian to get through life and the sooner one learns the lesson, the better it is for them. Cream contour gives you that chiseled look that works under bright red carpet lights and for photo shoots but refrain from using it everyday. 2016 is going to be all about subtle contouring, which is not just easier and faster but gives you a more naturally sculpted look.

Extra long lashes

Long eyelashes is a timeless trend but the extensively artificial lashes can make your eyes look smaller or change the shape of your eyes for the worse. False lashes also weigh your eyelids down making you go look sleepy in place of sexy. We won’t deny that false eyelashes add drama to your look but if your falsies are so heavy that you can’t even open your eyes fully then well, there isn’t much point.

Eyebrows with added filters

There are so many ways to make those brows look awesome but the FILTERED eyebrows are not one of them. Eyebrows are imperative in defining the frame of your face but if they’re overly filled in and squared-off at the beginning, it looks like they were drawn in a geometry class. Let’s do them better in 2016? Your brows should always look feathery and natural, so they leave you looking sharp and fresh, rather than harsh and fake.

Sharp eyeshadows

Clearly defined bands of colours on the eyelid look horrible and are easily the worst nightmare of every makeup artist. Eye makeup is not about applying oodles of colours on the eyes; that normally just scares people off. The key to getting eye makeup right is BLENDING! So blend away. And when you think you’re done blending, blend some more. Your face will thank you for doing this.

Too much bronzer

Now, bronzer has been around for a while but 2015 really made it’s importance felt in the world of makeup. However, it didn’t quite warn the world against overloading their face with bronzer. It’s not cool to look like you were stuck on a tropical island for years without SPF. Bronzer gives your skin a sun-kissed look and a healthy glow but you wouldn’t want people to think you were battling jaundice. A quick swipe of bronzer is a great way to warm up your skin and even fake a day at the beach. But any more than that and you’ll just look radioactive.

Mismatched lip liner

Let’s all maintain 10 seconds of silence for this very uncomfortable trend. Let’s just say it’s best to follow the age-old makeup rule of matching your lip liner to your lipstick but you can’t be giving people panic attacks by applying two different shades on one pair of lips. NO! Dark lip liner with dark lipstick – fab; dark lip liner with lighter lipstick – HELL NO! Please, we say please do not take this to 2016. It. Must. Die.

Overdrawn lips

Who are you trying to fool? The world can look through that drawing on your face! They can see those lips! If you don’t like your thin lips, we’d suggest a permanent lip job (like Anushka Sharma). Overlining your lips is not an easy thing to do and is definitely not a solution. It’s a lot of work to put into changing your appearance and trying to do what you “think” looks good. Don’t try to feed in unreal expectations into everybody’s head of how women should look. Let’s just embrace our real lips in 2016, okay?

Frosted lips

80s made a comeback in 2015 not just in the world of fashion but also in the world of beauty and makeup. Brown lip colour we can deal with. Frosted lipstick? No, thank you. It looks weirdly outdated. While this is only a minor offence, the frosty, Barbie-like lipstick has got to go. The 80s are over, and so is this trend. Keep your look more, uh, this century with a glossy or matte product.

Super-dark smoky eyes

We’ve seen smoky eyes and nude lips on almost everyone from actors, singers to models on fashion week runways and otherwise. But here’s the deal ladies, smoky eyes look more flattering when they have some dimension rather than having a solid black colour all over your eyelid; starting from your lash line to your brow bone. Smoky eyes can be the essential for a dramatic and sexy look, but if you apply too much shadow you can barely see your eyes in the mirror, it’s time to tone it down, waaayyyy down.

So this was our list of worst makeup trends of 2015. We hope that these are wiped off from the face of the earth like many other social evils in 2016. Do you know of any makeup trends that deserve to be in a graveyard? Do let us know in the comments section. Stay stylish ladies!

Top Twitter trends of 2015 and what they were all about!

There’s a lot that happened in 2015 across the globe. Some events were so unfortunate that they ended up harming the lives of many and some made us feel grateful about the fact that the world is just a small community of people who are constantly on a look out for each other.

The common thread between the events is that they brought people together, not just from different cities but from many nations and all we have to thank is the power of social media and hashtags.

Let us now take a recap into the year and the top Twitter trends of 2015 that caught the attention of the Indian audience and what they were all about.

1. #JeSuisCharlie

Je Suis Charlie, the French phrase for ‘I am Charlie’ was an unfortunate event that took place in early January 2015 in Paris and the world is still recovering from it. The mishap involved a massacre of twelve people at the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo’s offices.

2. #AIBRoast

Talking about roasts, All India Bakchod released their roast on Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in late January 2015 and boy, it was big (no pun intended). With Karan Johar as the roast master, the AIB knockout garnered innumerable views on YouTube before it got involved into many controversies and was eventually taken down from the site. For those who didn’t get an opportunity to watch it, you have no idea what you’ve missed.

3. #TheDress

A dress photo that went viral in February 2015 with over ten million tweets gave us sleepless nights all because of its colours that varied from one eye to another. ‘The dress’ divided the people of the world into two halves, with the first half seeing its colours as white & gold and the other half of the human population perceiving it to be as black & blue. The real colours of the dress are still a mystery to us and we’d be happy to be a part of the much-awaited reality.

Source

4. #BieberRoast

The Comedy Central roast of singer Justin Bieber took place in March 2015 and gave the world a good laugh all at his expense. The roast made headlines while giving birth to one of the biggest Twitter trends of the year involving celebrities like Kevin Hart, Ludacris, Martha Stewart, Shaquille O’Neal among others. We bet none of us missed that!

5. #DadBod

Gone are the days when women used to drool over ripped men with abs and a balanced diet. Spending all those hours at the gym while checking out every chiseled muscle in front of the mirror is just passé. What’s new is the DadBod, appreciation for those extra kilos, which started trending with the hashtag #Dadbod. It was an Internet sensation where women expressed their love for flabby men. The point here to be noted here is that dadbod is NOT about fat men, it’s about those guys who perhaps were really fit once and have been taking it easy for a bit. Afterall, those few slices of pizza with beer never killed anybody!

6. #LoveWins

American Supreme court’s ruling on marriage equality gave the world a new hope and a beautiful reason to celebrate. The hashtag ‘Lovewins’ was a part of millions of tweets across America and around the world. The best part about the social media outburst was the fact that (reportedly) Twitter too added a small rainbow heart next to #LoveWins with every user’s tweet.

Source

7. #ShahidKiShaadi

Yes, that legendary day when the Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor married Mira Rajput. We bet lots of hearts were broken that day and people flooded the Internet with pictures and wishes for the fabulous couple.

Source

8. #IStandWithAhmed

Ahmed Mohamed is a 14-year-old kid from Texas who built a clock from a pencil case so he could impress his teachers. Little did he know that there was massive trouble coming his way when the teachers called the cops on him. The authorities at the Irving High School thought that the 14 year-old made a ‘hoax bomb’ and got it to school. Ahmed was handcuffed and taken to the police station where he was denied the right to make a call to his parents and was questioned without his attorney’s presence. The issue got so out of control that some big, we mean, BIG names came to Ahmed’s rescue. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg amongst others made a genuine effort for his case!

9. #DilwaleTagline

Red Chillies Entertainment asked people on Twitter to come up with a tagline back in September for their upcoming movie Dilwale and the results made us literally want to break the Internet.

Source

10. #PrayForParis

The evening of 13th November will always be remembered as one of the most dreaded days of 2015. The series of coordinated terrorist attacks that took place in France did not just include hostage-taking but mass shootings and suicide bombings as well. Many innocent people suffered the darkness of terrorism for reasons everyone is trying to fathom. People were killed, faith was shattered and around midnight emerged the ‘Peace For Paris’ symbol sending out a strong message to the heartless that the world is united and will fight back.

11. #ISIS

The Islamic state of Iraq and Syria reportedly claimed responsibility for the recent tragedy that occurred in Paris and left the world flabbergasted. For the same reason and many more, the Islamic militant group (ISIS) was a part of the trending tweets on the social networking site.

Source

12. #FlyToFreedom

On The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, Indian celebrities Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were seen helping CNN spread awareness about modern slavery by shooting paper planes with a message written on them followed by a hashtag that read ‘Fly to Freedom’. CNN’s Freedom project is a humanitarian news media campaign that seeks to educate and advocate against modern slavery. The Diwale team too came together in support of the cause urging everyone to join the movement.

13. #LastMessageReceived

A hashtag full of heartbreaking posts from users that submitted the last message they received from their loved ones (not just their partners) started trending in November 2015. Boy oh boy, this is something you don’t encounter every day.

Have you ever had the chance to say goodbye to someone for one last time? Here’s how it feels like!

Have you had the chance to say goodbye to somebody you love/loved or felt remotely attached to, for one last time? We bet its heart-wrenching! Something so awful (especially if you’re on the losing end) that it makes you want to choke on your own tears and let all the pain slide away! Too dramatic?!? We bet you’d feel differently after reading this article.

So, the micro-blogging website Tumblr did something extremely thoughtful and we’re still reaching out for the tissues **wipes tears**

We recently came across this thread called ‘thelastmessagereceived’ on the site that’s full of heartbreaking posts from users that have submitted the last message they received from their loved ones (not just their partners).

How would you survive in the big city if you were a stray dog? – This video game nails it perfectly!

“You are a dog lost in a randomly generated city. Looking for food. Looking for friends. Looking for home” – is exactly what Kevin Cancienne’s upcoming video game ‘Home Free’ is all about.

This video game creator has taken creativity to an entirely new level and we’re nothing but impressed.

Conceptualising an open-world survival video game that’s supposed to come out somewhere in 2016, Kevin Cancienne thought of a virtual world where you’re a homeless dog roaming the streets of a city and you need to find your way around with the cruelties of life.

The video game creator hoped to raise an amount of USD 50,000 on Kickstarter.com to commence this project and just look at where he is now – Yes, Cancienne has successfully raised USD 98,328 as of 6th November 2015. Boy, now that’s some moolah coming his way for an extremely thoughtful project that is aimed to inculcate the feelings of empathy and respect for these little furry babies.

Kevin Cancienne also ran a campaign on Twitter with the hashtag #homefreemydog asking users from all around the world to share pictures of their dogs that maybe used in the video game. Needless to say, he received a massive response on the social networking website and dog lovers the world over among others can’t wait for this game to be out with of the 6 dogs that have been shortlisted already.

We still haven’t seen a cooler way to find a roommate! Must see how Hugh Podmore broke the Internet and is still on it.
So it all started about two years ago when a twenty-something guy named Hugh Podmore decided to move to Toronto from downtown Montreal. His uber creative efforts in looking for a roommate caused a stir on the Internet and we just couldn’t stop ourselves from reaching out for tissues (in a good way).

For those who don’t know what we’re talking about, here’s how it all started.

Taking a series of pictures with a whiteboard and a camera, Hugh Podmore created and shared a photo album on image-sharing website Imgur stating his qualities and what he is looking for in a roommate.

Here’s what the album named ‘I WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE! (But not in a weird way)’ looked like.

Impressive, innit?!

With over one million views on the album, Podmore was extremely overwhelmed to say the least and for the same reason, what followed was another set of pictures from him.

Let us look at what Hugh Podmore is now upto! (Yes, we kinda stalked him on Twitter and Facebook)
1. He’s finally the ‘Master of Space’

1. He’s back on Imgur again and he couldn’t be happier about it.

And before we go, here’s something hilarious.

Here are 5 genius ways of breaking bad news to your parents without getting an instant beating!

There are times (a lot of times) when you put yourself in situations that aren’t very easy to get out of. Even your friends can’t be of much help at that moment. You know you’ll have to turn to your parents for getting out of dire straits you put yourself in. And we know, it’s like punching yourself in the face, but you got to do what you got to do! And then suddenly, this other side of you gives you these pure evil but butt-saving ideas that are supposed to work their magic. Now, read and learn how to save your butt from your parents, like a pro! And we’re not talking exceptional circumstances like when you accidentally send a text to your parents that was supposed to be for someone else, we’re talking everyday situations. Now, we hope you never get into these kinds of trouble but if you do, remember the following.

#1 “Accidentally” bumped your car into someone else’s because you were too busy texting?

Let’s just say you’re driving and because of something (like texting), you get into an accident and your car is damaged, badly to say the least. You know the only man who can save you is your father, so just let him know how you were trying to save your car from running over a cat which is why you ended up damaging your vehicle. You have saved a life, vehicles can be repaired. SOLD!

#2 Spilled milk all over the kitchen floor because you were trying to reach for the chocolates kept at the back?

Moms are very observant when you’re in their territory. We mean kitchen, and no we aren’t stereotyping but let’s get this straight, without her you’d be surviving on hope. So, you’re in the kitchen and working your way to find something when you accidentally spill all the milk. Now, everyone knows how touchy moms are when it comes to wasting milk. You can always start with mopping the floor so even if she finds out; you have some support in your defense. Make up a story about how you were getting some milk to feed stray dogs and ended up with the disaster. Don’t forget the puppy face.

#3 Dad found an objectionable item in your car, like a lighter?

Just another day and you’re about to leave for work, you get a call from your father saying he took your car to work today and he found something that had him call you. And being the clever-ass person you are, you know what the call might be about. So before you take the call you already have a story ready to serve! Here! Let’s say he finds a few miscellaneous things like a lighter. Let him know it was your boss who needed a ride home and you couldn’t say no when wanted to smoke, because he’s your BOSS! Easy Peasy!

#4 An unplanned Friday night that won’t go down well with parents?

It’s Friday. The weekend is here and you’re out drinking with your buddies, *daddy calls* , let your old man know you’re working late because you’ve got a two-day off and the work needs to be completed by tonight, so you will be getting home late. He won’t ask you to stop work and get home, right?

#5 Forgot the only one thing your father asked you to do for him?

You were asked to a job from your father, something urgent that had to be done as soon as possible. But being you, you forgot and landed yourself in a bad situation. You think your mom will help you out but she tells you what a ‘nikkamma’ you’ve become and waltz out of the room. Tell him you’re busy and stuck at work but you’ll get going and get it done. It might just melt his heart and give you more time for completing the task or you can get on it while you’re on the phone with him and get the sh*t done!

These butt-saving ideas are a produce of creativity that rests in you. Embrace it.
