Curling your hair using a plain old everyday sock. Sounds crazy right? We thought so too. But watch this tutorial on youtube and you just may change your mind...

paint by numbers

Alex Mead is  25 year old artist with a difference. Look at her artwork closely ... can you spot anything unusual? Instead of painting her art on a 2D flat canvas, Alex paints directly onto the skin, clothing and surroundings of her 3D subjects. She then photographs the creations, and they transform into 2D works of art. Beautiful.

flower bulb

If you live in a small apartment or have a bad track record of killing your plants, then this may be just for you. This tiny little terrarium garden is so cute its sickening. Just follow the simple tutorial by The Hipster Home and make yourself a little garden for your windowsill. Just try not to kill it ok?

scratch and sniff

Selling fragrances online is a big business.  But why is it cheaper to buy fragrances on the web? This is because the online stores buy the fragrances in bulk, store them in warehouses and then ship direct to you. No fancy shopfronts or sales staff to pay wages.  Follow these tips for buying fragrances online, and you'll be smelling like roses in no time!

1.) Go into a store first and try the fragrance out before buying online
2.) Compare prices - don't just look at one online store.
4.) Consider the postage costs! You don't want to be paying $15 for postage if you're only saving $5 for buying it online
5.) Read the Terms & Conditions of the store that your buying from
6.) Eau de Toilette (EdT) or Eau de parfum (EdP)? Parfum often costs more but the scent lasts longer
7.) Buy from a reputable company& if it's within Australia, make sure it has an ABN
8.) Ensure that the shop guarantees the fragrance is 100% original and has a return policy.

Some of our fave places to buy fragrances online:
Strawberry Net

Perfume Warehouse
Perfume Connection

brother

In love with this song 'Brother' by emerging Australian artist Matt Corby. At only 21 Matt's voice has been compared to legendary artists Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley. You wouldn't have guessed that this crazy talented guy came second in Australian Idol way back in 2007 at the tender age of 16. He's all grown up now and taking the indie music world by storm. Enjoy this gorgeous acoustic version of 'Brother' ;)
