Star Patterns and Combining Shapes

Stars can be a fun and colorful way to design your jewelry. One option is to stick to the traditional design, combining it with geometric earrings to create a light-catching and brilliant look, such as the design here. However, experiment with additional designs such as using seed beads to create an explosion of stardust, which goes well into combining geometric shapes together. Using just the concept of triangles and squares, you can create the below design, a minimalistic but impressive look that mimics the look of a starburst.

Or use circles and triangles and you get an exciting yet clean design, highlighting the gemstone featured in the center of the open circle while the individual lines coming from the inner circle create an almost star-like appearance behind the triangles.
Squares can serve a similar design choice as circles, drawing the attention to areas, but also can act as lines on the body for the eye to follow. How you might ask? Just turn them slightly and your square is suddenly a diamond, which indicates the paths for your eyes to follow. With the inclusion of gemstones into the design, you can highlight the gemstone and make it the centerpiece attraction such as this design here. The eyes are drawn immediately to the stones in the center, and then the slightly thicker gold around it acts to block the eyes from focusing on anything around the gemstones.

Similarly, you can use designs that incorporate the square and little to nothing else to maintain the minimalist design. Use square shaped gemstones or open components for negative space and you have a chic and simple design, or turn it sideways and you create a diamond-shaped pendant or necklace to draw the eye. Use elongated gemstones, the baguette cut, to create slimming designs that require little work to match them to outfits.
You can also use diamond-shaped focals, especially the Swarovski® crystals, for geometric designs as well as beautiful crystals all in the same look.

Ryan Reynolds Admits He Just Might Be A Kate Beckinsale Doppelganger

Fans of Kate Beckinsale will recall when the actress said to Jimmy Fallon that she thought she and Ryan Reynolds looked a lot alike. Apparently, Ryan Reynolds came out to say he couldn’t help but agree with the sentiment claims a new report from Just Jared. Ryan Reynolds Admits He Just Might Be A Kate Beckinsale Doppelganger.
When he spoke with the hosts of Today on the 12th of December, the 43-year-old actor claimed whenever he looked at Kate Beckinsale, it was like looking in the mirror. Ryan jokingly said on the show that he was even considering wearing a similar dress.
In all seriousness though, Ryan admitted it wasn’t the first time he heard that he and Kate looked similar. In fact, other people have mentioned it to him on a regular basis over the years. Earlier this year, Kate took to her Instagram to point out she was one of the most Google Searched actresses.
Moreover, the actress joked that many of the searches were probably just wondering how she managed to put on muscle for her role in the Deadpool movies. Even though Ryan and Kate both have children of their own, it’s clear they still have the time to joke around.
Us Magazine reported earlier this year that Ryan has been busy working on his career, but he likes to spend as much time as possible with his children. Fans of Ryan and Blake Lively know they just welcomed their third child into the world this year.
When he spoke with Hoda Kotb on Today, Ryan admitted leaving his family is becoming increasingly difficult as the years go by and his kids slowly get older. According to the National Lampoon’s Van Wilder alum, when his children ask where he’s going and why he’s leaving them, it gets tougher.
A source who spoke with the aforementioned outlet in October of this year explained Ryan was doing everything in his power to spend as much time with his kids as possible. It’s truly a priority to him at this point in time.
Ryan and Blake have three kids following their marriage in September of 2012, including Inez, James, and their third baby.

A New Resident Evil 2 Achievement Links The Game To The Resident Evil 3 Remake

As cool as it would have been for this content to be in the game originally as a nod to a potential Resident Evil 3 remake, it’s better late than never. Scattered around the world of Resident Evil 2, players can find letters written by various series characters, such as Chris Redfield. Those who have already scoured the game and found all of them now have a reason to go back through, according to the new achievement “Chasing Jill.”
The achievement can be unlocked by finding Jill’s letter. The exact text description reads “read a letter left behind by Jill,” which is pretty cut and dry. We don’t yet know when the update will release, nor where the letter will be in the game or how hard it will be to find. A New Resident Evil 2 Achievement Links The Game To The Resident Evil 3 Remake.
It’s a decent little treat for Capcom to throw in while we patiently wait for the Resident Evil 3 remake, but it might not exactly warrant another playthrough. Hopefully, the letter is easy to find and doesn’t require much progressing through the game. Those who have already beat the game twice – assuming they beat both Leon and Claire’s campaigns – might not care to go through it all a third time. Still, it has been almost a full year since its release, so maybe this is as good a time as any to give it a whirl.
It might make sense to assume that the letter from Jill dates back to the first Resident Evil game, but Resident Evil 3 acts as both a prequel and sequel to the second game in the series and the letter were assumedly written during the events of the third game.
In Resident Evil 3, Jill finds herself at the police station just before Leon and Claire show up, narrowly missing them. There’s a good chance that gamers will actually see her write the letter when Resident Evil 3 hits in April.
There’s no official word on when the update with the new achievement will roll out, but considering that its existence is now out of the bag, one can expect it relatively soon. It’s a neat little connecting strand, but it might have been more fun before the announcement of the Resident Evil 3 remake.
It would have been one of those things that had gamers arguing over whether or not it hinted at things to come or was simply a fun easter egg with no deeper meaning.

Early Access Title Raft On Steam Releases The First Chapter Update With A Solid Amount Of Content

Raft attaches itself well-enough to the exponential increase of survival games; it’s been in Early Access since early 2018, since amassing over twenty-thousand reviews on Steam, with 83% being positive.  It started as an alleged prototype and has since continued to grow.
The gameplay centers around players surviving at sea on top of (you’ll never guess it) a raft.  With fishing, salvaging trash, and exploring small islands dotting the landscape, the primary concern has been a lack of general content to continue to work towards.  The newest update coming from developer Redbeet Interactive may silence those critics, however, as it brings a hefty amount of content to the indie title. Early Access Title 'Raft' On Steam Releases 'The First Chapter' Update With A Solid Amount Of Content.
Two new destinations have been added to the title, both encouraging you to stretch your legs and trek on solid land; a welcome respite for many.  One destination is a sizeable island, and one is a desolate cruise ship long since forgotten.  The developers also updated the smaller islands that already dot the landscape (or lack thereof) and a radio tower.
You’re looking at a wealth of exploration needed to fully experience the newest update, and not many can claim it’s unwelcome.
Raft is also going a bit of the beaten path of many survival games that litter the storefronts, by adding lore.  Lore that actually explains why you’re desperately attempting to survive on a raft.  This update brings the first part of the lore that seems to, thus far, be actually interesting.
New enemies are also found in the update, bringing oversized rodents (Rodents Of Unusual Size) called Lurkers, and bears to challenge explorers that leave their wits on their vessel.
Finally, new systems and utilities are available to make your survival less drab.  A new receiver system allows players to find new landmasses, and easily revisit ones that they’ve found in the past.  With this comes a captain’s wheel, allowing users to steer their craft.
It’d be silly to have an ability to steer yet still be at the mercy of the winds, so biofuel refineries and engines are now available for crafting as well, giving your rag-tag vessel and crew a direction, along with a sense of purpose.  Biofuel is crafted with honey and raw food in the biorefinery, further elongating the crafting tree that survivors must navigate to make use of the new tech.
Finally, a machete rounds out all of the new content that has been brought, letting explorers have a fighting chance against the new uglies.

Kid Rock ditches Detroit restaurant after Oprah Winfrey rant

Kid Rock has chosen to close his Detroit-area restaurant in the wake of the backlash he's facing in his hometown over a recent profanity-laced rant he directed at Oprah Winfrey and other television personalities.
The restaurant, which occupies a premium, high-profile spot on LCA's Woodward-facing side, was the target of protests when the arena opened with six Kid Rock concerts in September 2017. Kid Rock Ditches His Hometown Restaurant Following His Anti-Oprah Winfrey Rant.
He continued, "They're like, you're [expletive] racist, I'm like, you're [expletive] weird".
Although neither party tied the parting to the video or the ensuing backlash, the singer wrote Wednesday on Facebook that he still has "much love for the city of Detroit and the people/organizations that I have helped there for years, black, white, whatever, but" that he "learned long ago, go where you're celebrated, not tolerated".
About a dozen NAN supporters gathered Wednesday across from the restaurant for a previously announced media event to address the recent Kid Rock footage and denounce his disparagement of Winfrey.
A statement attributed to Chris Granger, president of sports and entertainment for Ilitch Holdings, said a new concept will be introduced in the space that "aligns with our community and company values".
A Baby Yoda Gift You Might Actually Get In Time For Christmas!
His species has a very long lifespan after all the original Yoda revealed that he was 900 years old in the movies. As far as we know, Baby Yoda is not, in fact, a young version of Yoda from the original Star Wars movies.
"I guess the millions of dollars I pumped into that town was not enough", he wrote. "I said @#%^ that and her. End of story". "You haters better be shaking in your boots", he vented.
Kid Rock (sort of) elaborated on his disdain for Winfrey in a follow-up tweet on Friday.
Kid Rock is bidding adieu to his restaurant Made In Detroit and his hometown. The group, which was founded by Sharpton, was planning a protest against Kid Rock at the restaurant today.
Kid Rock followed up his post with another announcement on Wednesday, declaring that "all this BS" has got his "blood pumpin'" to make new music and tour in 2021. Kid insisted he wasn't racist but rambled on a few obscenities about how the women could suck his.you know.and while there isn't a lead-in into how this rant came about, Kid did later explain why he has a bone to pick with the Own Network mogul. Rock added, "I may be guilty of being a loud-mouth jerk at times, but trying to label me racist is a joke".
The video later shows Kid Rock performing on stage and then sitting at the edge of the stage before what appears to be a police officer helps him regain his feet and escorts him from the stage.
The Made in Detroit restaurant features rock- and Southern-themed food offerings, along with the array of Kid Rock memorabilia.

NAM VO'S DEWY LOOK WITH A COLOR POP
NAM VO'S NATURAL DEWY LOOK


Long hair is often portrayed as romantic, dreamy, and feminine. Short hair style ideas can be edgy, and unique. But if you think there’s anything boring about middle length hair, think again—it’s actually the most versatile length of all. Short enough to play up texture but long enough to weave a braid or two, there are tons of options for those with medium-length hair to make a statement with their strands.

Still not convinced? Check out the shots below for some hairstyle inspo, and don’t be afraid to give one or two try. Pin the rest for later, or challenge yourself to a new look every day!
Fishtail braids




Haven’t worn pigtail braids since pre-K? Consider this a personal challenge to give them another go. Sexy, messy fishtail braids update the old classic, and using thin, clear elastics like these to finish them off keeps things from looking too immature.

Space buns




You don’t need to be at Coachella to rock this trendy look—space buns are an awesome and easy way to make your hair stand out. Gather up two buns at the top of your head and let the rest of your hair flow as shown above, or gather all hair into two low space buns at the nape of the neck for a more subtle take. Flirty low pony. Tease it, curl it, crimp it, you name it. When it comes to customizing a ponytail, the world is your oyster. Soft waves and a teased crown are the ultimate dreamy date-night combo, but a quick low pony is an easy go-to for errands, gym days, and more.
Beachy waves




Short hair often makes waves appear short and curly, while long hair can sometimes weigh texture down. That’s why medium hair is the perfect length for easy, carefree beach waves that look gorgeous. Whether you use a curling wand or a texture spray, the result is effortless cool.Business in the front, party in the back. Experienced braiders can whip up this style in minutes, and the result is a stunning surprise that will literally turn heads.
Pull-through braid




Once you’ve mastered fishtails and French braids, a pull-through braid should be next on your list of styles to tackle. Pull front strands into the braid and leave the rest down like above, or gather the finished product into a pony or bun for an updo version. Once you know the braiding technique, the possibilities are endless. Messy buns are undoubtedly cool, but a perfectly coiffed high bun? So stylish. Use the sock bun method to roll your hair to perfection, or trust your bobby pinning skills to create a topknot flawless enough that real ballerinas will envy you.
Sleek ponytail




Nothing says polished like a shiny, smooth pony—plus, throwing one up takes just seconds. Use a hairbrush to smooth out the base of your pony for a simple and chic look, and don’t be afraid to get creative and add in braids, curls, or whatever else piques your interest.
Smooth and straight don't let Instagram fool you into thinking you need to be crafting perfect curls on a daily basis. There’s nothing cooler than sleek, shiny, straight hair, and this length is perfect to make sure your simplicity looks intentional.

The top three benefits of using Dbol

Just to give you some backstory, Dianabol was created by an American Physician who was called ‘Montana Jack’, in a partnership with Ciba.
And he secretly started to administer the drug to American weightlifters. The results were pretty dramatic. The competition was just crushed under the plate-stacked bars of the Americans.  
Here’s what you can expect from Dbol.

Muscle Mass:

You will gain and you will gain fast. In a 12-week cycle on a calorie surplus, an average athlete can gain up to 20 lbs., maybe more on Dianabol. While a lot of it will be water and glycogen, the increased nitrogen retention will produce new muscle fiber. After the cycle, you will lose all the water that the body was holding on to, which might make you look like a frailer version of your on-cycle self. But the fact is, that you will gain some amount of muscle and you will still be bigger than your pre-cycle body.

Strength gains:

You will be just amazed at how fast you can add plates to your bar without getting fatigued. The dramatic strength gains are one of the reasons why many professional bodybuilders use Dianabol. The mass gains are just an added positive effect.

The feel-good steroid:

For a lot of athletes, Dianabol is all about the positive feeling that they get. We often refrain from mentioning this because we can’t describe it accurately and it feels like we are just sharing second-hand information. But if you aren’t prone to the nastier sides of Dbol, you are going to have one hell of a ride.

Side effects to be concerned about

dianabol side effects and alternatives
Why do most experienced roid users ask beginners to be wary of Dbol?
What are the risks that come with doing a Dianabol only cycle?
Here you go.
  • High BP: Dianabol will make you hold on to water like a sponge. And the more water you hold, the higher the risk of your blood pressure fluctuating randomly. If you are getting crazy headaches while you are using Dbol, we would recommend that you check your blood pressure. Lower the dosage to reduce some of the sides.
  • Gynecomastia: Dianabol aromatizes to estrogen and can cause some serious estrogenic side effects. At the forefront is Gynecomastia. An AI during the cycle should be able to keep the estrogenic sides at bay. But it will trash your lipids even more. And hence is generally avoided. If you aren’t using an AI, then keep a SERM handy and use it at the slightest hint of gyno.
  • Shut Down: Dianabol can shut you down even at extremely low doses. One of the young guns at the gym started that way, with just 15mg/day of Dbol. After four weeks, he wouldn’t even find enough motivation to get out of the bed let alone come to the gym and lift.

Oral Dianabol vs. Injectable Dianabol

An increasing number of athletes are opting for an intramuscular injectable version of Dianabol as opposed to the oral version.
The argument, partly fueled by the insanely big ‘Dave Palumbo’, seems to be that the injectable version has a better half-life, acts faster and reduces the liver toxicity to an extent.
Well, again, there’s no scientific proof to claim that this happens. There are anecdotal reviews that claim elevated liver values even with the injectable version.
And a Dianabol-oil based injection can be as painful as using a drill bit on your body. Think about PIP and doing that repeatedly, multiple times a week.
To sum things up, we think that the oral one might be the better option if are willing to do Dbol anyway.

PCT with Dianabol

A Dianabol cycle requires a full-fledged PCT to get your Test and LH levels back to baseline.
That will be good old Clomid and Nolva.
But we still recommend that you do bloodwork before you hop on to PCT. A lot of people do weak and short Dbol cycles with minimum suppression and are able to get around it without a PCT.
Point being, do a PCT only if you need it, which will most likely be the case. But just be sure about it with bloodwork.
For on cycle support, use Organ ST.
