Photographs

Most photographs look very different when you look at them in color or in black and white. A large part of the photo's we see in history books are black and white. But how would these pictures look when they have color. Mads Madsen colored these famous photo's to show us how they would look.

Pimp your laptop

When you're a bit creative it's quite easy to pimp your laptop. The light at the back of the most of the laptops is not a limitation but a challenge. These people have incorporated the Apple logo into the design they made on the back of their MacBooks. One of them is mine, can you guess which one?


 

 You can try this yourself using adhesive plastic (like the one some people use to cover their shelves with). Make a design and draw it on the back of the plastic, keep in mind that it will be mirrored. Cut it out with scissors or a knife and stick it on your laptop. When you're bored of this picture you can take it of without leaving stains and try something new.

Food on your face!

It's well known that a slice of cucumber on your eyes reduces puffiness. But did you know that smearing other kinds of food on your face can be quite beneficial.
Like smearing thick honey on your lips can cure their dryness, if you can resist liking it off for long enough. Apple cider vinegar cleans your face and removes blemishes. Clean your face once a day with a cotton pad with a few drops of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before washing your face with water. And rinsing your hair with beer before you wash it with shapoo makes it shine.
Here are some recipes for face masks made entirely out of food.

Cleaning mask
The fatty acids in avocado are great to clean your pores and soothe dry skin. This face mask is really easy and quick to make. Peel an overripe avocado and remove the pit. Mash the pulp with a fork and add a tablespoon of yoghurt, a tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix this well and smear it on your face. Do not forget to clean your face beforehand with lukewarm water. Leave this mask on for about 20 minutes and clean afterwards with lukewarm water.

Do not throw away the pit, it's easy to make a great body scrub with it. Grind the dried pit in a food processor and add a mashed banana and a tablespoon of almond oil.  Gently rub over skin to exfoliate.

Dry or greasy skin
Whole milk is known to be good for a dry skin. Reduced-fat milk and yogurt are good for a greasy skin. But both are good for cleansing. You can clean your skin easy by dabbing your skin with a cotton pad drenched in milk. A greasy skin can benefit from a face mask made by pure yogurt or reduced-fat milk.
To improve a dry skin mix 2 tablespoons yogurt with a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of whipped cream. Apply to the dry skin and leave it for about 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. You can replace whipped cream with sour cream for a mask that also cleanses.

Chocolate mask
Cocoa is a great antioxidant, this mask will leave your face soft and glowing. Mix a tablespoon of cocoa powder, a tablespoon of honey, two tablespoons of oatmeal and 3 tablespoons of cream in the blender. Let it settle for 5 minutes before smearing it over your face. Let it do it's job for 15 to 20 minutes before cleaning your face with lukewarm water.
