So you have a beauty problem and you do not have to time run out and buy the item to solve the problem . Listed are some of the weirdest yet most  interesting beauty tips and tricks I have ever heard that can really help. Maybe one will work out for you like a few has for me.

1. Powder your Roots - Greasy scalp. Use a makeup brush to tap in a small amount of powder to reduce the shine.
2. Scent Strand with Perfume - Perfume scent last longer when a small amount has bee sprayed into the hair
3. Cure Calluses with Vaseline - Rub on a large amount of Vaseline on your foot and put on sock. Sleep overnight with it and wake up to soft feet. 
4. Dry Hair - Use Mayo as a conditioner
5. Dry Skin - Apply diaper rash cream to your elbows and knees
6. Flyaway - Smooth fabric softener to eliminated frizz.
7. Lighten up - use lemon as a natural lighting and brightening agent for your hair and skin.
8. Hot pepper hair growth - apply a small amount of hot pepper sauce to your scalp to increase blood flow and hair growth
9. Toothpaste and pimple - If you do not have acne creams in your cabinets, simply apply toothpaste to spot treat any pimple overnight
10. Puffy eyes - Apply hemorrhoid cream to help reduce puffiness around the eyes. 

My personal favorite is the toothpaste trick. It never gets old. Let me know some of your favorites that may not be listed.

Artificial Hymen

Artificial hymens can be purchased over the internet starting from $29.99
The hymen is placed in the vagina and must properly adhere to the vaginal walls. When pressure is placed on the hymen, it will release a red liquid that looks like blood.

Because there are still a lot cultures that believe that a woman must be pure before marriage, young women who have been sexual active before marriage are forced to buy this hymen as to not be shamed by society.

Middle Eastern women are highly know for purchases these hymen and many at times the hymen goes on sale for as low as $15. Although it is considered a a cardinal sin to deceive your  husband, they go to this extreme as to avoid social stigma.

Because of the deceptive nature of the hymen, it has been banned and pronounced illegal in many states and countries.

Purchasing this hymen also saves women a huge amount of money compared to the medical surgeries that are done to replace the hymen.

I am not a fan of deceiving because I would not like to be deceived. Hopefully with time artificial hymen will no longer be in existence

Wikipedia Change

I chose to edit the Wikipedia page of Jocelyn Wildenstein because I wrote a blog post about her plastic surgeries. 

This is the original

Jocelyn Wildenstein has had extensive cosmetic surgery to her face^[over the years, creating a "very unnatural appearance" intended to elicit a more catlike look, according to her husband. Wildenstein is rumoured to have spent $3,000,000, apparently done to please her husband, who loved big cats. Despite the unusual appearance of the plastic surgeries, Ms. Wildenstein is reported to be "ecstatic with her work. She feels beautiful. She looks in the mirror and she loves what she sees. She got exactly what she wanted."

This is the edited version -

Jocelyn Wildenstein has had extensive cosmetic surgery to her face over the years, creating a "very unnatural appearance"intended to elicit a more doglike look, according to her husband.  Wildenstein is rumoured to have spent $4,000,000, apparently done to please her husband, who loved cheetahss. Despite the unusual appearance of the plastic surgeries, Ms. Wildenstein is reported to be "ecstatic with her work. She feels beautiful and loves to purr. She looks in the mirror and she loves what she sees. She got exactly what she wanted, cheetah power and all."

The change was intended to be comical.

Jocelyn Wildenstein (AKA, “Cat Woman,” the “Lion Queen,” the “Bride of Wildenstein”) 

 

Born in Switzerland,  Jocelyn Wildenstein grew up middle class. Jocelyn married Alec Wildenstein, a wealthy art dealer. During the marriage, Jocelyn underwent numerous plastic surgeries. Her facial surgery was to emulate that of cat because her husband loved big cats. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last and the circumstances surrounding the divorce were shocking to the public. Apparently, Jocelyn caught her husband in bed with a 19 year old Russian model. She was also threatened by her husband with a gun and because of that he spent a night in jail. Jocelyn walked away with $2.5 billion in divorce settlement and $100 million each years for 13 years after. She can not use any of the money on further surgeries. Jocelyn has been quoted to still love her feline features.

Long Necks and Thailand Women

                                   BRACE YOUR NECK!

Who wears these coils?

Women of the Kayan  Lahwi tribe, of northern Thailand, are known for wearing neck rings.  

What is the purpose for the coils?

The rings provides protection from tiger bites

They are more sexually desirable because women are known to have slender necks than men.

The one reason for the rings is to feel for more beautiful for cultural identity

 

How old do they start and when is it taken off?

Children are given their first coil at the age of 5. The coils will weight about 4 pounds. The coils are usually never removed, only added on.

Are the coils safe?

The muscles around the coils become weakened with time. There will be discoloration after the coils are removed

Are women still wearing the coils?

As 2006, younger women are starting to not wear the rings as to further their education and to have better work opportunity. 

 

  Every culture's standard of beauty is different and long neck is what Kayan women consider beautiful. Although they seem to be growing out of the primitive style, it will always be a part of their history
