Does your cell phone look like everybody else? If so you may be interested in decorating your phone with Rhinestones. Many people call this bling, slang for owning or creating personal accessories that are jeweled, bright and attractive. Here's how to decorate your cell phone.
Go to a store like Wal-Mart or any craft store, look for assorted rhinestones on sale. Rhinestones and other stones and decorations come in a variety of styles, qualities and colors. Choose those that match your taste and budget.
Develop a pattern or design plan. Use paper and pencil if you wish, or just explore different designs on a hard surface. Possible patterns and designs include: all one color, stripes, diagonal, your initials — anything you want. Put as much thought and preparation into the planning of your design as possible, as this saves time in the long run.
Clear a large amount of time and set up your equipment in a safe place where you can leave it and come back to it.
If you purchased the stick on rhinestones, just peel of the tape and stick it to the surface of your phone in the correct position.
Using the glue gun, quickly put a dab of glue on the rhinestone and hold it on your phone for 5 seconds to make sure it's firmly in place.
Let your phone rest at room temperature for 5 minutes and don't touch it.
Stroke your fingers over the stones after the five minutes are up, to make sure they don't fall, if they do, replace them.
* Considering buying the stick-on Rhinstones. These products allow you to just peel the tape off the back and you ready to go. In addition they are far easier to remove than glued items.
* When planning your design try downloading a picture of your phone from the Internet and printing it out as a template to use.
* Adding rhinestones may take awhile to do. Make sure you have the time to do it.
* If you do not care for rhinestones try a beading store, they will have a great many small shiny things you can glue.
* If you are using a hot glue gun make sure you turn it off when you are done. Watch out for gluing your fingers together.
* When using a glue gun make sure to read the instructions carefully and to follow all saftey procedures.
* Other glues, like SuperGlue, will also work for this.
* The stick-ons can get caught in your hair while you are on the phone.
Things You'll Need
* Rhinestones
* Cell phone or other hard surface
* Glue or glue gun
* Imagination or a sense of design
* A sketch of the perfect design for your cell.

Went down to body Of seattle events. We were gonna go earlier than 6 pm but too much drama was going on. Finally we left heading to body seattle, got there around 7: 25 PM. It was hard to find a parking space. Body Seattle event was so crowded. Way crowded. We listen to the jazz band, walk around , everywhere you go, you get bump that how crowded it was. There was a lot of interesting stuffs going on. water fountain is flowing so that people can cool off. I finally got hungry. We browse the food booth. All the seattle restaurant was there on thier own booth. You can iether do the tasting which cost you $ 3.00 per taste . I rather buy the actual meal which is not much difference between $ 3 to 6 . Anyway, we browse and browse . And my eye catch the philippine food booth. The line was very long at the Filipino food. That tell's me that alot of people loves philippine food, which make me very proud. Sad to say though that I didn't have the patient to wait for the long line for me to buy some filipino food. I'll just go to thier actual restaurant.
There was a lot to see at the Seattle Body Event , we didnt have enough time. They close at 9 then they will be open tomorrow. This event usually happen every year. Its fun, tiring, but it's worth it.

While we all like to think we look young, mother nature has other plans for our appearance. As we age, our skin changes. Laugh marks around our eyes, age spots on our skin, wrinkles around the mouth are all the obvious signs of ageing. With the help of some cosmetic products, we can conceal those telltale signs of advanced years and bring the focus back to the features that make you an individual.
- Prepare the skin by using a wipe that cleanses and tones. Follow with a good quality moisturiser that contains sunscreen.
- Apply a skin primer after the moisturiser has soaked in. This will help to retexturise the skin so that the foundation can spread smoothly and evenly and stay on longer.
- Dab a green concealer on your finger. Blend it onto the skin on your face where there are strong red blotches and veins (usually the the cheeks, chin or nose).
- Dab a foundation stick that matches your foundation onto the age spots with your fingers. Use a concealer (one that also matches your foundation) for darker age spots--it's thicker and will hide them more effectively. Blend it slowly and evenly into the skin until the age spot is not noticeable.
- Dampen a latex sponge slightly and remove any excess water by blotting dry with paper towels.
- Shake your bottle of foundation well before pouring a bit onto the back of your hand. Dab it with your finger onto the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks before smoothing it in with the dampened sponge in even, sweeping motions.
- Cover under eye bags and dark circles with a light reflecting concealer pen (not normal concealer, which looks heavy and emphasize any wrinkles). Dot some onto each bag and blend gently with your finger, being careful not to drag the skin.
- Give your skin a warm glow and youthful radiance by using a liquid highlighter with light reflecting particles to your cheek bones and the bridge of your nose. Blend using your fingertips.
- Apply cream blush (which is better for older skin, as powder blush can leave the skin looking dry and less youthful) by smiling and blending the blush with your fingertips onto the apples of your cheeks.
- Load a large powder brush with some light reflecting powder. Tap it with your finger to remove any excess powder.
- Use the brush to apply a light dusting over your whole face to "set" the foundation help grant a more even appearance. This step is optional--if your skin is especially dry, applying powder can make it look worse.
- Use a different large, round brush to apply bronzer on the nose, neck and cheekbones, which will enhance your face's shape.
- Look in the mirror and make sure everything is evenly blended and placed. Remove the makeup headband, put on your favorite outfit, and enjoy an evening out.

A 15-minute treatment that will result in soft, glowing skin. Easy to make at home, luxurious to use and quite a lot less expensive than the beauty salon. Here's how you do it:
Assemble the "Things You'll Need".
Rub a piece of cut papaya flesh on your face and neck.
Let the rubbed-on papaya sit for 15 minutes.
Rinse off with warm water.
Rinse again with cool water. This will close the pores.
at your skin dry with a towel. See "Tips" for this method.
Touch your face and feel the difference. Your face should feel and look much more radiant.
Touch up with some moisturizer if needed. If your face feels dry, just apply toner/moisturizer. Use as natural a moisturizer if possible.
* Always pat dry with a towel. Rubbing can easily break the small capillaries under the facial skin and cause redness and fine "spider lines" if you have skin prone to this. Rubbing may also cause bacteria to spread; theoretically, this might lead to spreading pimples, although acne is more likely to be caused by dietary or genetic afflictions.
* Don't use this remedy if you are allergic to papaya or other tropical fruit, such as mango.
* Avoid touching your face too often as this will transfer the oils from your hands to your face, making it oily and irritated.
