My friend just told me about this and it blew my mind. She learned this at Weight Watchers but apparently it's quite popular, but I'd like to share it with you guys since dieting is a big subject here.

To make a low fat and low calorie cake, take any regular box of cake mix (Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines) and mix it with a 10oz can of DIET soda (like Diet Sprite). Then bake it according to the directions on the box. Don't add any oil, eggs, etc. Just the mix, and the soda.

Yes it's weird, and fizzy, but apparently it makes a delicious cake and you've saved yourself all the calories, fat, and cholesterol from the egg and oil that you didn't add. (This is also assuming you don't frost the cake).

So this is a great option for dieters who reaaaaaaaally want a piece of cake. Even plain cake. Sometimes you just want a slice of delicious cake, dammit! I bet you could even eat it with some fresh fruit instead of frosting!

More information, including instructions and comments from people who've made it.

I'm totally making it for my mom this weekend when she visits and not tell her what it is until after she eats it! And apparently, you can experiment with flavors. My friend recommends chocolate cake mix with diet black cherry Coke. She also recommends making it into cupcakes for easy portion control, rather than one big cake.

So, I am about to order my favorite body wash and lotion from meetmark.com (lemon sugar.) Before I order it, I was wondering if there are any other Mark products that you guys swear buy? I'm interested in trying out some more so throw any suggestions my way!

On a side note: are there any lotions/body washes that you guys find smell similar to lemon sugar? I love the smell but hate the $6 for a small bottle :[.

I know this gets asked a lot :(

I'm going for a job interview for a McCafe position (the McCafe is inside a larger McDonalds)

I don't know what sort of clothing/makeup would be appropriate as the last time I had to interview for a job it was 2003 and I previously worked in makeup and health+beauty retail.

I don't know if this is going to be an interview or an orientation type thing either, as I was only told to bring my bank details for payroll in, so I don't want to turn up in heels if I'm going to be being shown the fridges or something.

( of course you want reference pictures :) )

thank you so much :)

I think it is in store only, but if you guys want me to send you a thing, give me your email address :)

my company is making us all get headshots. and we're required to wear makeup. we have makeup artists who are going to apply it for us, but i want to bring my own products for allergy/hygiene reasons (they said that was fine).

only problem: i NEVER wear makeup (and never have). i do not own any makeup. so tomorrow i have to go out and buy everything i need (ugh). HELP ME! i'm guessing i'll need foundation of some sort, blush, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and brushes. maybe eyeshadow. so...

a) what product recommendations do you have for all those things? drugstore brands preferred, but i'll go to sephora or ulta if need be.

b) what kind/how many brushes do i need?

c) is there anything else i've forgotten that someone would generally wear for a professional headshot-type photo?

a photo of me just for reference is ( under the cut )

THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance!!

Come on guys the comments have been weaksauce lately. Each the past few discography entries already have hundreds of downloads but have only double digit comments.

Please remember to COMMENT if you take! I don't want to have to choke anyone.

Hey y'all. I'm a member of several different online sample sale websites. I've used them to get good discounts on makeup (Philosophy, Stila, and Smashbox jump to mind) and they have wonderful deals on designer fashion (Michael Kors, Kenneth Cole, Free People, Marc Jacobs, and a bajillion others) as well.

A lot of them have deals where I can give a friend a credit for referring them and then I get a credit if that friend makes a purchase. You win and I win and it doesn't cost anything to sign up for an account, you only buy something if you feel like it.

I'm screening comments on this post so if you want invites to some of these sites just reply with your email address and I'll gladly send them along to you ;)

Mods: If you hate me for this, feel free to delete but I think it is in the tradition on sharing discounts/tips about beauty items.

Hey all,

I'm considering getting hair extensions. The salon I was considering going to uses Hairdreams. They look good from the site but does anyone have personal experience with this brand?

Also, I know they'd tell me all this in the consultation but I don't know what kind of extensions I'd need to get/if they'd look good. My hair is currently a grown out perm so it's sort of straight on the top and gets wavier toward the bottom. I don't love the way this looks so I don't know if extensions could help this or just make it look worse. Thoughts?

Ideally, I'd love for my hair to look something like this.

Hey beauties!

So a while back I posted asking whether or not I should get straight across bangs. I decided not to do it based on peoples responses. The other day I went to get a trim and the hairdresser ended up cutting my bangs straight across anyway! Though I was surprised, I actually really like them. I can wear them either full and straight across or pushed to the side and a little textured. Let me know what you think!

( After! )

As you know - or for those who don't know yet - VAMPS' Hellween goods went for sale yesterday.

The problem is, that when we (me and few friends) put our order through a service, they told us that they couldn't order the one item that I wanted the most:
THE epic VAMPS JENGA

So, I'm here to ask if someone of you kind ones living in Japan could order it for me.
I'll of course pay for every cost. From the shop to your house, from your house to me etc.

If you're interested and willing to help, please send me a PM or email to: myrtillys@gmail.com
Thank you!

I found something about Dawn Treader and posted in my lounge and reposted here:
 
They was shooting a scene where  the Dawn Treader is being attacked by a sea monster!  Woohoo!! *--------------------*

Here you are the report:  http://nicolasgreening.com/
 
[quote] We met a lot of the actors including Ben Barnes (King Caspian), Georgie Henley( Lucy Pevensie) and many of the cast and crew.
Gary Sweet (Lord Drinian, the captain of the Dawn Treader) and Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie) were busy acting out a scene where  the Dawn Treader is being attacked by a sea monster. The Dawn Treader was being moved around by it’s hydrolic base and all the actors were falling across the deck.
 
It was an amazing experience to be there and watch the actors, directors, producer and all the cast and crew working on this great film. We were taken behind the scenes and saw some “top secret” film sets, hopefully we will be able to talk about these at a later date.

          Today I met Ben Barnes who plays King Caspian in the Chronicles of Narnia -
          The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The film set is amazing.

Shame no pix :(

After many, many months (almost 2 years, actually o_o), I have finally finished translating Ryutaro's Gojuuonshiki!

It can be found in its entirety over here. Comments on the individual pieces, and any constructive criticism, are very welcome. :D I'd like to hear what people think of them!

Have fun!

hello there, im in some serious need of winter cloths.  i have so many hoodies that are ok for just running errands and such but i want to know where are some of your favorite places to buy winter cloths like sweaters leggens and such (online or not) 

also i really need a new purse/messanger bag are there any brands that make some nice ones?  i like bigish purses with a long strap so its easier to hold and that zips closed (i live in the city and am im paranoid about getting pick pocketed) mabye like a slochy type if that makes sense?

and slightly off topic, does anyone know any good DIY fourms or LJ communitys?  right now im specificly looking for apartment diy but any craft is a good craft!

Yo! I'm new here to PokeWifi! Just call me Courtney. Or Courtni, if you prefer, since that's what will fit in the games!

Right now, I'm looking to trade for two Pokemon: a female Absol and and a Slugma/Magcargo/Camerupt with Magma Armor (to hatch these darn eggs quicker). I have, to trade, a Shaymin and a Darkrai, both legit, along with any Pokemon you can catch after the Elite Four. I can also breed you Chimchars once I'm done with the giveaway. If you're interested, post here with what you want, what you're giving me, and your friend code.


On the Giveaway side....

At the moment, I currently have a whopping 15 Eevee Eggs to give away, but I get a new one every few seconds, as Platina and Nano are breeding like RABBITS.

I will take any Pokemon whatsoever for these. I am not trying to trade for special Pokemon, I just want these Eevees to have a nice trainer to go to where they can be raised with love! So if you're interested, just tell me how many you want and your friend code! I don't care how many you take, but I gotta limit it at five - that's how many I can carry at a time!

From the three I've hatched so far, all of them have known Shadow Ball - there is a good chance yours will, too!


For those interested in either of these, here is my friend code: 0646-3465-0128. I had a friend post earlier for me, but I took care of it before the help came. ^-^;;
