SPORTS FACTS

      Hey Guys !

      Check this out ! Its all about sports trivia and history.

      How big are Shaq's feet? What was the first hockey puck made from? What did the Japanese do for sporting fun back in ancient times? Here's a look at some freaky, funky, funny sports facts.

Shaquille O'Neal wears size 22 shoes. He puts on a brand new pair before every game.

Before 1859, umpires sat in a padded rocking chair behind the catcher.

In the National Hockey League, home teams wear white jerseys and visiting teams wear dark jerseys. That's because back in the 1960s, the league figured it would be more difficult to keep white uniforms clean while players were on the road.

The first puck ever used in a game was a frozen piece of cow crap.

Ari Petrof is Sweden's National Sauna Champion. He stayed in a 212 degrees F(100 degrees C) sauna for five hours and 10 minutes.

You've probably heard your coach or parents say, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye." Well that phrase comes from Ancient Rome. The only rule during Roman wrestling matches was, "No eye gouging." Biting, kicking and scratching were allowed but the only way to be disqualified was to poke someone's eye out.

You might think a yo-yo is just a fun toy. But it started out as a weapon in the Philippine Islands in the 16th century. It weighed four pounds and had a 20 foot cord. It was introduced to the United States as a toy in 1929.

In ancient Japan, public contests were held to see who in a town could fart the loudest and longest. Winners were awarded many prizes and received great recognition. (Tell that to your parents next time they tell you not to let one rip in public.)

 In ancient Rome, when men played the olympics, they would compete in the total nude! 

Boyfriend satisfied:

If you are a girl who currently has a boyfriend, the best thing you should learn is how to make him satisfied in your relationship, without satisfaction your relationship will only end up in separation. Here are some tips for you:


Always look attractive for him and yourself
Not because you got yourself a boyfriend means you can neglect your physical appearance already. Instead, strive harder to look more beautiful and hot every day. Men like to parade their beautiful girlfriend around and it gives them pride knowing they have a beautiful gal with her arms wrapped around him.


Give him the quality time that he deserves
Build happy memories with your boyfriend. There will be times that both of you will have less time to spend together because of demands from your work; if you find time together, make him happy and enjoy things together. Don't use this little time to quarrel or argue.


Flatter your guy
Know when you need to stroke your guy's ego. If he has good qualities or has achieved something, appreciate him and tell him how lucky you are to be his girlfriend. Appreciation will give him self-worth and boost his self esteem.


Be intimate whenever you have the chance
You can never satisfy your boyfriend without being intimate. Try to communicate with him and know his deepest thoughts and desires. Try to be physically intimate as well, pamper him with love and care and show your affection in different and creative ways.


Learn to cook for him
Men love women who know how to cook. Study how to prepare his favorite dish and prepare it for him. As they say, a way to man's heart is through his stomach. Find your way to the kitchen; it will lead you to his heart.


Feed his pleasures
Give what your guy wants and let him enjoy those things. Whether his desire is about food, sports, emotional and physical intimacy, give it to him. You should meet his needs to keep him quiet and satisfied.


Be faithful to him for always
Take care of your boyfriend's trust. Don't do things that would make him suspect your doing something you shouldn't be doing. Be open to him even with the smallest details and keep him updated on what's going on with your life especially those times when you are not together.


If your boyfriend is truly satisfied in your relationship, he will not have any reason to say goodbye to you.

Technology

Most popular technology

The cell phone has become a major icon in the United States because of its technological advances in making our lives progress more smoothly. Cell phones have made a great effect on our lives by allowing customers to purchase products without having to handle cash, making it convenient to keep in touch with loved ones and keep yourself entertained, and being beneficial in treating patients and saving lives. The cell phone came into existence 1970's, and has come a long way from being a brick-sized device only designed to make calls to pocket-sized gadgets that allow people to browse the Internet, take pictures, and many other uses. Cell phones have become so popular that people seem to not be able to live without them. Everywhere you go, you see people on their cell phones. Some have their phones up to their ear. Others have on a Bluetooth headset. Some individuals are even texting and calling people while driving. This has become a major concern related to road safety. Some other states have already passed laws regarding cell phone use while driving. Even though cell phones have become a life necessity, people need to use them wisely and enjoy their features that are offered at their convenience.

Technology is so advanced that cell phones allow customers to purchase products and services without having to handle cash. For instance, cell phone users can have their credit card linked to their cell phone to make purchases. Customers are able to go to a store and make a purchase without ever having to open a purse or go in their wallet. This technique makes it so much more convenient for customers who aren't comfortable with carrying cash with them. Restaurants even have made it possible for their customers to place orders using their cell phones. The main restaurants who offer this feature are the ones who serve pizza. Customers can place orders by just sending a simple text message to the restaurant. Many restaurants allow customers to place their orders without having to leave their homes or businesses or make a phone call.



Cell phones make it convenient for you to keep in touch with loved ones and keep you entertained. Cell phones make it possible to contact person even if you aren't able to directly speak to them. You can keep in touch by sending a text message or picture message when you are in a situation where you cannot directly call someone. This is very convenient for persons who have loved ones out of town. Also, cell phones offer many other services.

What are they doing right now?
What would happen if I sort of ‘accidentally’ (on purpose) ’bumped’ into them in their favourite bar?

If I wasn’t an eye witness to the changes my clients had made in such a short space of time, frankly I wouldn’t believe it either. I’ll be honest with you, I know how you feel.
Still, don’t let your natural skepticism stand between you and this unique chance. So any feelings of hurt, anger, shame and grief you’re feeling right now…due to this horrible situation…you’ll need.

You’re left to pick up the wrecked and damaged pieces.

FUTURE OF SPORTS

What will happen in the world of sports in the next century? Will you be watching high-definition television, virtual TV, the Internet or some fancy new gizmo that's still a twinkle in Bill Gates' eye? Will you have to pay-per-view? What will be the national pastime? Football? Women's soccer? NASCAR with souped-up spaceships?
Sports in the 21st Century aren't going to look like sports at the end of the 20th. The 20th Century saw an exponential boom of sports in America, and with technology and our thirst for entertainment exploding even more rapidly, there seems to be no stopping the juggernaut that has made us Sports Nation.
I'am talking about the effect of the Internet will have on the way we watch sports. It will expand the business of some companies that are engage in sports, instead of watching sports on a television network, you may see whistle-to-whistle coverage of volleyball, judo, online, viewed in your living room on a flat screen over the Internet. Television may not be a word that's in our dictionaries three or four decades from now.
This is not a daydreaming, the technology is being used already to put radio broadcasts over the Internet, and is on the near horizon with television. You may eventually be able to watch NBA on your computer when traveling on business here in Philippines.That's how fast technology is moving.

Relationship Advice for Women on Understanding Men

Venus, Mars – who the hell cares where we are from? As far as I’m concerned, we are all on Earth right now and it would be really nice if we could all understand and connect with each other. If you’ve ever been mystified, by them men then you’ve come to right place. From sex advice to dating advice, and all things in between, this article will give you some very valuable relationship advice on what it takes to understand men.

So, if you are confused by your man’s behavior, I can help you get your Y-chromosome facts straight. This article is about to take you inside the male mind – and is going to help you make sense of it (hopefully).

Over the years, women (and even some men) have made many attempts in trying to understand men better. In our quest to understand men, we discovered that most men tend to have a vague outline of an idea on what they really want or need from their women. They always seem to say on thing, but end up doing something else. These mixed messages that they always ended up sending us, left us feeling bewildered and confused.

Perhaps if we all had to start thinking like men, then it would probably take the male-female relationship to a whole new level. So, the next time your guy does something that’s really annoying, put yourself in his shoes.

Most women have the tendency to lament and crib about their problems, just because they want these problems to be acknowledged, while men on the other hand, tend to crib about problems because they are looking for solutions to these problems. Obviously, there are going to be many differences between a man and a woman’s point of view and how they will react when put under pressure.

Rarely do men actually think about writing us women those sweet little love letters, and rarely do they even think of sending us cards and flowers. So, when you end up getting frustrated with your guy because of his lack of romanticism, it would be good to remember that men don’t always think on these lines. They might worry about their sex lives and why it’s not all the great, but when it comes to romance, men seem to lack the basic gene. The reason however, for their lack of interest and lack of romanticism is because their idea of being ‘romantic’ is very different from that of ours.

So, if you feel that this is troubling you, then share with your man that you would love to have flowers sent to your office. Do not worry if he doesn’t respond immediately, he probably has a lot on his mind already. So, does this lack of interest in romance mean that men have less character than us women? Absolutely not!

Does your guy seem really disinterested when you are talking about something that is very important to you? Do you at times feel that you are having problems with your relationship and you really want to talk about it? Does your guy seem less excited, even annoyed, when you insist on talking about this issue immediately? More often than not, men prefer to keep their problems to themselves and prefer to think about them instead of discuss them. This however does not mean that your man is incapable of talking or communicating with you, it just means that he would rather understand the situation, analyze it and then maybe talk about it. Most of the times, a man would probably need to come up with something fixed and concrete before he can say anything or try to come up with a solution to the problem, instead of beating around the bush and discussing a number of different options.

Women tend to think about their problems aloud and prefer to talk or discuss every aspect of the issue, but this does not mean that men have to be the same. When it comes to communication, it would do you good to give your man more space. When he is ready to talk to you, then allow him to approach you. Keep telling yourself that the two of you are completely different creatures, and when it comes to communicating, men and women will always have different styles.

Don’t be upset when you don’t get the exact same response that you would desire or expect. Men are tough creatures to figure out. So, the next time you are upset with your man, try to think about the issue in the way that he probably would. Simply to acknowledge the fact that men do think in different ways from us would definitely lift a heavy burden off your shoulders. So, the next time he acts in a weird manner, don’t sweat. This does not mean that he doesn’t care about you. He probably just thinks differently than the way that you do.

How to train Pets ^~^

Helloooo Everyone !
Atlast! no more exams. =))

Here are some tips on how to train your pets.

When training pets- do I have to

reward the behavior every time?

If a behavior is never reinforced, it will decrease and eventually stop. That is called extinction in psychology. When your pet does any activity, the behavior either has a reward of its own (like digging a delicious hole in your garden or barking for the sheer joy of it) or it offers a hope of a reward from you.

While you’re training your pet to perform a new behavior, you want to reinforce the behavior every time your pet performs it. As we’ve said before, that may involve a clike a clicker or other sound to bridge the gap between the behavior and the rewards.

Obviously you don’t want to have to reward your pet every time he does the new behavior, and there’s good news: After the pet knows the new behavior, maintenance of that new behavior can be done by a variable ratio of behaviors to rewards. Instead of rewarding the behavior every time it happens, reward it after a number of occurances. Don’t use the same number of “skipped” rewards every time though! A variable number has been shown to be the most effective. So one time reward your pet after the third time he does the behavior, and maybe next time just skip two times – or maybe four. You don’t want your pet to learn that he can do a “set” of what you want him to do then “take a break” until he wants to do another “set.” Pets are smart and figure us out very quickly!

What Is Clicker Training?

Clicker training is a method of animal training that uses a sound—a click—to tell an animal when he does something right. The clicker is a tiny plastic box held in the palm of your hand, with a metal tongue that you push quickly to make the sound. Most people who’ve heard of the clicker know that it’s a popular tool for dog trainers, but clickers can be used to train all kinds of animals, wild and domestic—from lions to elephants to household cats, birds and rats!

How Does the Clicker Work?

The clicker creates an efficient language between a human trainer and an animal trainee. First, a trainer teaches an animal that every time he hears the clicking sound, he gets a treat. Once the animal understands that clicks are always followed by treats, the click becomes as powerful a reward to the animal as money is to people. When this happens, the trainer can use the click to mark (identify for the animal) the instant the animal performs the right behavior. For example, if a trainer wants to teach a dog to sit, she’ll click the instant his rump hits the floor and then deliver a tasty treat. With repetition, the dog learns that sitting earns rewards.

Three Ways to Get Behavior

Catching

“Catching” means that you catch your pet in the act of doing the behavior you want. It’s the perfect method for training behaviors that your pet already does on his own, like sitting, lying down and maybe rolling over on grass. For example, if you wan t to train your dog to lie down, you can stand in your living r oom with your dog and just wait. After a little while, your dog will probably decide to lie down and get comfortable. The instant his body hits the floor, click and toss a treat on the gro und a few feet in front of him. He’ll have to stand up to take the treat, so after he eats it you’ll be ready to start over again. Continue the sequence of waiting for your dog to lie down on his own, and the n clicking and tossing a treat the moment he does. With repetition, your dog will eventually look at you and throw himself to the ground to earn his treat.

Shaping

With “shaping,” you gradually bu ild a new behavior by clicking and rewarding a series of small steps towa rd it. Shaping is a good method for training new behaviors (or a series of behaviors called a “chain”) that your pet doesn’t already do on his own naturally—like raising a paw in the air, retrieving a ball or going to a specific spot to lie down. You start by rewarding the first small behavior that begins your pet on his journey toward the complete behavior. When he’s mastered that first step, you ask a little more of him—require him to do the next smal l step to earn his click and treat. For example, to get a dog to raise his paw, you might start by clicking and treating when he shifts his weight off one paw slightly. Once he’s shifting his weight smoothly over several repetitions, you delay clicking until you see him lift his front paw off the floor just one inch. When he’s good at tiny paw raises, delay your click again and require him to ra ise his paw another inch or two higher to earn his click and treat. By reinforcing each tiny step as if it were the ultimate goal, your dog will think that learning is fun and will soon be performing the goal behavior with en thusiasm.

Luring

“Luring” involves using a treat like a magnet or guide to get your pet into a desired position. The food lure (a small piece of tasty food) is held right in front of your pet’s nose and then moved while he follows it. For example, to lure a dog into a down position, hold a piece of food in front of his nose and then slowly draw it straight down in front of his chest to the floor. The food will work like a magnet, drawing your dog’s nose and then his body downward. As his elbows touch the floor, click and treat for the down. After some practice, you can just use the hand motion to prompt your dog to lie down. Make the same movement as before, but with no treat in your hand. Over many repetitions, you can gradually make this hand signal smaller and shorter. Eventually, your dog will lie down when you point to the ground. Lure-and-reward training is often quicker and more efficient than catching or shaping to get and reward certain behaviors.

7 Summer Wardrobe Essentials

Hi Guys!!!

I'm Back....

~~~~^_^~~~~~

Don’t know what to stock your closet with this summer? No worries, because this season is bringing a slew of new, and revisited trends that you’ll be sure to love. Everything from neutrals, to rompers, and everything in between so even if you don’t have the latest trends, you’ll be sure to find something in the back of your closet.

Neutrals

Neutrals have made a very strong statement on the runways this season and demanded that you not be afraid to wear them! Although neutrals can sometimes wash out a complexion, it’s important to choose the right kind of neutral for your skin color. Neutrals are also great for summer because they keep you cool and they’re super fun to accessorize. If you’re not a fan of neutral hued clothing in general, opt for a pair of neutral wedges or an over-sized leather bag.

Tropical Prints

There’s no better time to steal the tropical look than in this tropical, blistering heat! Tropical prints add a punch of color and, when paired with crisp white hues or neutrals, can look very sexy. Pick up a tropical print frock or full skirt and wear it with a white tank-top and an oversized belt.

Military-Inspired

 I was never a fan of the military trend, but it seems as if stores worldwide have come to embrace the trend and so, why not give it a try? I picked up a cropped jean jacket in beige that has little military-inspired details such as the buttons and zippers. Throw it over a dress or wear it with a long tee and skinny jeans. You can also get military-inspired tube dresses, shorts, and even skirts. Just make sure to accessorize and keep everything else nice and simple!

Sailor Stripes – Go Nautical!

Arrrgghh matey, do ya love sailor stripes? If so, it’s your sailing summer! Sailor stripes have never been so hot, and now you can get sailor striped pants, shoes, shirts, jackets, skirts, ANYTHING to channel your inner sailor girl.

Shirt Dresses

Shirt dresses are the perfect summer staple because they’re super comfy, easy to wear, and you can throw them over a bathing suit. What’s more is that a shirt dress can go from a lunch date to a night on the down. Just switch your flats for a pair of heels and you’re good to go!

Circle Skirts

 Circle skirts are hot right now and that’s because they look super cute when paired with flats and a fitted tank top. Pick one up in a fun, bright color or a tropical print, and pair it with a white or neutral form-fitting tank top. To add a little height, throw on some wedges!

Rompers

Love em or hate em rompers have made a huge splash this summer and that’s because they’re virtually fuss free! Think about it…you have an outfit all made for you in one piece. All you need to do is throw on some accessories and wear it with flats, flip-flops, sandals, wedges, or heels. 

Technology

What is the meaning of technology?

Technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization. The word technology comes from the Greek technología (τεχνολογία) — téchnē (τέχνη), an 'art', 'skill' or 'craft' and -logía (-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline.^[1] The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include construction technology, medical technology, or state-of-the-art technology or high technology. Technologies can also be exemplified in a material product, for example an object can be termed state of the art.

Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of natural resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivismprimates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations. view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other 

The use of the term technology has changed significantly over the last 200 years. Before the 20th century, the term was uncommon in English, and usually referred to the description or study of the useful arts.^[2] The term was often connected to technical education, as in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (chartered in 1861).^[3] "Technology" rose to prominence in the 20th century in connection with the second industrial revolution. The meanings of technology changed in the early 20th century when American social scientists, beginning with Thorstein Veblen, translated ideas from the German concept of Technik into "technology." In German and other European languages, a distinction exists between Technik and Technologie that is absent in English, as both terms are usually translated as "technology." By the 1930s, "technology" referred not to the study of the industrial arts, but to the industrial arts themselves.^[4] In 1937, the American sociologist Read Bain wrote that "technology includes all tools, machines, utensils, weapons, instruments, housing, clothing, communicating and transporting devices and the skills by which we produce and use them."^[5] Bain's definition remains common among scholars today, especially social scientists. But equally prominent is the definition of technology as applied science, especially among scientists and engineers, although most social scientists who study technology reject this definition.^[6] More recently, scholars have borrowed from European philosophers of "technique" to extend the meaning of technology to various forms of instrumental reason, as in Foucault's work on technologies of the self ("techniques de soi").

Dictionaries and scholars have offered a variety of definitions. The Merriam-Webster dictionary offers a definition of the term: "the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area" and "a capability given by the practical application of knowledge".^[1] Ursula Franklin, in her 1989 "Real World of Technology" lecture, gave another definition of the concept; it is "practice, the way we do things around here".^[7] The term is often used to imply a specific field of technology, or to refer to high technology or just consumer electronics, rather than technology as a whole.^[8] Bernard Stiegler, in Technics and Time, 1, defines technology in two ways: as "the pursuit of life by means other than life", and as "organized inorganic matter."^[9]

Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or more complex machines, such as a space station or particle accelerator. Tools and machines need not be material; virtual technology, such as computer softwarebusiness methods, fall under this definition of technology.^[10] and

The word "technology" can also be used to refer to a collection of techniques. In this context, it is the current state of humanity's knowledge of how to combine resources to produce desired products, to solve problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy wants; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. When combined with another term, such as "medical technology" or "space technology", it refers to the state of the respective field's knowledge and tools. "State-of-the-art technology" refers to the high technology available to humanity in any field.

Technology can be viewed as an activity that forms or changes culture.^[11] Additionally, technology is the application of math, science, and the arts for the benefit of life as it is known. A modern example is the rise of communication technology, which has lessened barriers to human interaction and, as a result, has helped spawn new subcultures; the rise of cyberculture has, at its basis, the development of the Internet and the computer.^[12] Not all technology enhances culture in a creative way; technology can also help facilitate political oppression and war via tools such as guns. As a cultural activity, technology predates both scienceengineering, each of which formalize some aspects of technological endeavor. and

"Top 10 Beauty Myths"

Howdy Everyone!

What's up?!

Our Quote of the Day:

"''Style'' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style."

There is so much information out there on pretty much  anything, but you also can't believe everything you hear or read. Especially when it comes to beauty,there are a lot of weird do's and dont's out there that aren't always necessarily true. So I've uncovered the top 10 beauty myths out there which should help you get a better idea of what's true and what isn't.

MYTH #1: RUBBING LEMON ON YOUR TEETH WILL GIVE YOU PEARLY WHITE

 This actually does work, but it cames with a price. While lemons do help you get lighter locks, they don't really work on your teeth since the citric acid in lemons wears away enamel. Save the lemons for the lemonade and instead brush your teeth with water and baking soda a couple times a  week to get those pearly white at home.

MYTHS #2: FAKE NAILS WILL DESTORY YOUR REAL NAILS

Not true. It is not the artificial nail or the glue that ultimately causes nail damage, but imporper removal-such as picking or prying off. So if you just take care of your nails and remove them properly, there will be absolutely no damage to your nails.

MYTH #3: LASER HAIR REMOVAL DOES NOT WORK FOR LIGHT HAIR

Who came up with that? Either way, it's not true. Although laser hair removal does work better for darker hair,lighter does work just as fine. With lighter hair,you'll see about 70-80% removal of the hair. So just go one extra time and you'll be fine.

MYTH #4: YOU NEED FREQUENT HAIRCUTS IF YOU WANT YOUR HAIR TO GROW LONGER

Wrong again. Your hair will grow at the same speed with or without a haircut. But regular haircuts will help improve the overall health of your hair as well as getting rid of those pesky split ends.

MYTH #5: PETITE GIRLS CAN'T PULL OF LINGERIE

Another stupid myth made up by guys who like big chested girls. There are so many different types of lingerie out there made for every body, including petite. So next time you wanna surprise your man but you think you won't be able to pull it off, just go out and find a nice up-lifting water bra and it'll do the job!

MYTH #6: BREAKOUTS ARE CAUSED BY OILY SKIN

Although breakouts are associated with oily skin, that is not always the cause. In most cases, breakouts happen because the skin is so sensitive that you might be using the wrong products,therefore causing more pimples, So if you have oily skin and you've tried everything,try sensitive formulas and you'll start seeing some change.

MYTH #7: ORGANIC PRODUCTS ARE COLORS

Whoever made that up is seriously disturbed because organic beauty products are the best you can get! They're skin friendly so they won't clog pores and they protect your skin from all the harmful pollutants out there. Plus, you don't get all the chemicals so organic beauty products is really the way to go.

MYTH #8: YOU CAN'T PULL OFF ALL COLORS

If there is one thing I always hear from my girlfriends is that 'I can't wear that color!', which is absolutely ridiculous. The one thing you have to pay special attention to is the  shades of the color as well as the understones. So while a hot, fiery red might not suit your complexion, a toned-down version might do you wonders!

MYTH #9: CHLORINE TURNS YOUR HAIR GREEN

So not true. Copper, not chlorine, will turn your hair green. If a pool is not properly maintained and cleaned regularly, it can have copper residue which in turn could turn your hair a greenish color. Now this is mostly for blondes since their pigment is so light, but all you have to do is switch to a low pH shampoo which will help combat against greening.

MYTH #10: CROSSING YOUR LEGS WILL GIVE YOU SPIDER VEINS

Very untrue. Most people that hair spider veins or varicose veins have them because either their mother or grandmother had them. It's all in the genes!
