EASY HALF-UP HAIRSTYLE TUTORIAL


I love to design hair style! Hairstyle is important to everyone.....image is the first things people will discover! So, let's have some hair styling to bright up your life=]






what you need:
A small hair elastic, comb

STEP-BY-STEP:

  1. Part your hair on the right and take a one inch section of hair above your part.
  2. Split that section in two and twist them together.
  3. Add in hair from your hairline to one section and twist that back over the other section.
  4. Keep adding in hair and twisting the two sections together until you reach the top of your ear. Then curve the twist around the back of your head.
  5. Combine the twist with a section of hair from the left at the back of your head.

STYLING TIPS

  • I love an asymmetrical look to this style but you can adjust this to suit your taste.
  • If you want more volume in your twist, add a little volume styling powder to your hair before you start.
  • I’ve blowdried and curled my hair with a medium barrel curling wand to get these waves which I’ve loosely brushed out with my fingers

Apple Cinnamon Muffins


I made these apple cinnamon muffins with my cousin on last few months. We do it to cheer up after a few weeks of very hard work. My cousin found a recipe online and adapted it to fit my needs. We baked our muffins in cups rather than in a lined muffin tin, and only dipped the very top of the muffin in the lovely topping - they turned out very delicious and I'm happy that I stashed a few in the freezer for another day.


Apple Cinnamon Muffins


110 g butter, softened
200 g sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
120 ml milk
300 g all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 large apples, peeled and diced
1 tbsp flour

topping:
50 g butter, melted
100 g sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs carefully, one at a time. Add vanilla. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and add this to the batter alternating with the milk. Finally toss together the apples with a tablespoon of flour, and add to the batter.

Fill muffin cups, fairly full - you want them to rise above the top of the cup as they bake.

Bake at 175° C for about 15 minutes - check with a toothpick to make sure they're not sticky inside.

Meanwhile, melt the butter for the topping and let it brown a little. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip the warm muffins in the butter and then into the cinnamon sugar, and place on a rack to cool down. Lastly, It was done! Hope you all can enjoy it=]

Here is a video that I pick from Youtube, It also clearly explain how to do apple cinnamon muffins.

Movie review for The Maze Runner

       Last week, I had watched The Maze Runner at MBO, Viva Home. It was very good and It feels like refreshingly low-tech and properly story-driven, based on James Dashner's popular 2009 fantasy novel. 

     Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) finds himself thrust rudely into the world of the Glade: a community of boys who have figured out how to live while encircled by a giant, constantly changing maze, within which dwell giant, boy-eating monsters known only as Grievers. Many of the boys, including benevolent pioneer Alby (Aml Ameen) and champion of the old ways Gally (Will Poulter), are content with just surviving day to day. Thomas winds up unsettling the entire camp with his refusal to follow the rules and determination to ask questions: he wants to explore the Maze with designated runners like Minho (Ki Hong Lee), and figure out a way to get free. Life in the camp gets more complicated when, weeks before the next boy is due to be sent up to the Glade, a girl in the form of Theresa (Kaya Scodelario) arrives instead.

    There's a lot of blockbuster potential to be squeezed out of this premise, and Ball does so quite wonderfully. The Maze encircling the Glade is a stonily grey, massive enclosure, and the Grievers - when the boys encounter them in increasingly close quarters - are odd marvels made as much of machine as flesh. Ball cuts scenes of great, heart-stopping tension together masterfully: whether it's Thomas running through walls that are fast closing in on him, or Thomas and Minho trying to outrun a Griever while burdened with an unconscious Alby.



At the end of this movie, It teaches us have to face the problem and try to manage it. Not only wait for chance or let the fate decide them. Hope you all can go watch this movie, it's quite good and suitable for everyone!
