Spring Shindig!by _xkilltonight
Last week, the Community team had wrapped up their month long, exciting and competitive event, Spring Shindig! Throughout the contest, the entire Community team had pitched in by hosting various activities for the participants to partake in. This year’s activities included various tasks from guessing games, graphic tasks, a photography competition and Madlibs! After counting up all the points each team accumulated, Team Golden Lily was announced as our first place winners, coming in with a grand total of 1420 points. Following them, Team Dancing Daisy placed second with 900 points and Team Sparkling Orchid was third with 510 points. All the members of the winning team will be rewarded a generous 50,000 moolah, 50 coins and a trophy!
Five individual prizes were also given out for the most points individually gained. Congratulations to stratosphere for first place, katnrek for second, r_e_n_e_e for third, strobelightss for fourth and soco_bela and r36 for fifth! These six members did their best to participate in as many tasks not only for themselves, but to also help their team get closer to receiving the bonus points rewarded when all members were able to complete the task.
There are many congratulations to be rewarded as there are individual mentions for the top places in each task. Huge congratulations to all the teams for participating and doing an incredible job!
Make sure you stop by the winners' thread and give them the praise that they deserve.

Kim Kardashian is refusing baby gifts from everyone! Instead, she's asked for people to donate to a children's hospital in Chicago. Kim couldn't ask for more than she already has. The reality star and her boyfriend, Kanye West, have not registered for any baby supplies, and don't plan on it either. She's proud to be able to give her child the best healthcare and baby products, but knows other families are not as lucky. They have told all their relatives, friends, and fans to donate to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, where West grew up. Kim hasn't made an official announcement just yet due to her busy schedule. The hospital is happy to hear about how Kim and Kanye will be helping out and are very thankful for their generosity. A rep for the hospital explained how the money can be used to treat sick babies. "Funds donated on behalf of Kardashian and West will be directed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Fund, which will help care for the most critically ill babies and their families," the rep said in a statement.
I'm happy to hear of Kim Kardashian's charitable act and am glad that she is helping out. If you, or a friend, are interested in donating to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, please click here

Jennifer Lawrence, and her ex, Nicholas Hoult, were spotted at dinner together, Monday night, 29 April. The two ended their two year relationship in January, but it seems as if they're back at it again. They were photographed leaving a very romantic restaurant in L.A., The Little Door. Lawrence was captured carrying one of her favorite books, "Anna Karenina," with Hoult close behind, as they tried to slip out the back door. Most people are not too surprised about them getting back together and believe it was bound to happen.The duo have currently start filming the sequel for "X-Men". This reunion may have sparked some old flames, joining them together again! After all, they did first meet on the set of "X-Men: First Class". Whatever the case may be, fans are excited to see the couple together again.
So how do you feel about their relationship? Do you really believe their back together, or do you wish they would get back together?

Monday, April 15th 2013 was supposed to be celebratory event for Bostonians and people from around the nation, the Boston Marathon. Unfortunately, this day is now the anniversary of a tragic time. Around 2:50pm EST an explosion happened right as people were about to finish the last mile of the race. 12 seconds after, another explosion happened. Panic arose, and everyone was shocked. No one knew how this could of happened.It wasn't until that following Wednesday that officials had released photos of two suspects, brothers from a small country in Russia. Within 24 hours of releasing those pictures, a security camera at a 7-11 got a photo of the youngest suspect. An MIT police officer, 26 year old Sean Collier, was shot and killed at the convenient store. This is the moment that the biggest manhunt in US history took place.
Eventually, officers spotted a van that the suspects had high-jacked from someone. It wasn't long until about midnight (Boston time), a fire fight broke out between the suspects and officers. It is said that the oldest suspect could of been killed in the fire fight or when his brother (youngest suspect) was trying to get away and ran over him. That isn't for sure to the public. When the youngest suspect got away, that entire area of Boston was put on lock down.
After hours of maximum security, officers got a lead on where the youngest brother was hiding. He was in a boat in a back yard of a house. Police eventually got the family living in the house next to it evacuated safely. Once the SWAT team had arrived, it wasn't shortly after when the suspect crawled out and surrendered because he was injured. After he was arrested, he was admitted to a regular hospital and now CURRENTLY is staying in a prison hospital. He has been sharing information about the whole thing, but he still isn't physically able to stand a trial; once he does heal, he will be put on trial and sentenced if found guilty.
As for the people in Boston today? I know that they are stronger than ever and pulling together as community. I feel that next year, when it comes time for the race, the Bostonians will make it more memorable then ever before. We love you Boston. BOSTON STRONG! <3

How to Make a Piñata!
by fabulous_

Piñata's are colorful paper mache shapes filled with candy and are very popular at children's parties. As hard as it may seem, piñata's are incredibly easy to make.
What You Need:
- Balloons
- Newspapers
- Water & Flour
- Scissors
- Paint
- Crepe Paper
- String
- Candy
- Wooden Baton
1. The first and most important step is to figure out what you want to make. You can start off with a basic circle, or move on to more complicated shapes/animals.
Choose something you will be able to create!
2. Inflate your balloon. The balloon is the basic body of the piñata. In order to make complicated shapes, you will have to use cardboard, newspaper, or construction paper. You can attach those shapes on with tape.
3. Lay down newspapers to protect your work area.
4. Make the paste (glue) by mixing 1 third flour with 2 thirds water in a pot. Once it begins to thicken, boil the mixture, then add a pinch of salt. Wait until it reaches a putty form.
5. Tear a newspaper into strips that are 1-1.5 inches wide. Smear these strips with the paste to make paper mache.
6. Lay the strips all over the balloon until it is completely covered in a thick layer. You will need to repeat this until it is hard and durable. Let one layer dry before applying the next layer of paper mache.
7. Let it dry until it is stiff. If it's wet or sticky, it's not done yet.
8. If the balloon has not popped, pop it (near where you had tied the balloon). Make a small hole where you will add the candy. Make sure the hole is big enough.
9. Paint the piñata a single color to even and smoothen out the surface. It should be just enough to cover the paper.
10. Punch two small holes around the main candy hole, and tie a string or ribbon.
11. Glue colorful crepe paper on the piñata to decorate it.
12. Add the candy into the hole, along with crumpled up paper.
13. Cover the hole with masking tape/crepe paper!

1. Wash your hair like normally.
2. After washing, comb your thoroughly.
3. Part your hair in the middle,while its still wet, and braid them into two braided pig tails. For light waves, braid lightly. For large waves, braid tightly.
4. Leave it like this overnight.
5. Wake up to nice natural waves!

If its still wet in the morning, blow dry it IF YOU REALLY HAVE TO!

Is it the night before a big event? Or maybe a picture day? Or maybe its just regular day? Well no matter what day, no one wants a pimple. Here are some ways to get rid of that ugly pimple overnight!
1. Ice is often used as a quick remedy to get rid of Pimple overnight. You just need to wrap an ice cube (or crushed ice) in a piece of cloth and apply it on your Pimple for about 20-30 seconds.
2. Using any white toothpaste (not gel) on the Zits is quite a popular home treatment for this problem nowadays. For this, you simply have to apply some toothpaste on the pimples before bed time and let it remain on the face over night. Wash your face the next morning and you will find a great deal of improvement in your pimples. The toothpaste should remain on the pimples for at least half an hour.
3. Consider using a honey and cinnamon face mask to mask your Pimples. Prepare this face mask by mixing some honey and cinnamon powder to form a sticky paste.
4. If you are wondering how to get rid of a pimple on your nose or forehead then lemon juice can be a great help for you. In fact, applying lemon juice on the affected area is one of the simplest ways of curing pimples.
These are a few of MANY ways to get rid of pimples overnight, these aren't 100%, so if one of these ways does no't work, washing your face and applying acne medicine should also do the trick! BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T POP IT. Popping it could lead to a scar, yucky.

Cinco De Mayo Makeup Look
by Cocodoll
Cinco De Mayo, is all about fun, bright and bold colours and is a great way to incorporate it into your makeup look. Eyes
1. Apply a bright yellow toned eyeshadow all of your lid, using a flat shader brush.
2. Taking a lighter red colour, apply it in your crease, using a small crease brush. You can also use a deep green colour to fill in your outer crease.
3. Using a highlighter brush, take an earth red colour and highlight half of your brow bone. Taking the yellow toned shadow, fill in the rest of your brow bone.
4. Finish off with a black felt tip liquid eyeliner on your upper lash line.
Cheeks
Contour your cheeks with a cream based bronzer. This will help bring out your eyes more.
Lips
Use a bold lipstick, such as a gold or a bright coral colour to finish the look.
by Cocodoll
Rexona Clinical Protection is a cream based deodorant, which is used if you tend to perspire a lot. The deodorant can be used for both men and women, which is definitely a plus. Application
This is only to be used for your armpits. Do not apply it elsewhere
1. On the bottom of the deodorant there is a clicker. Turn the clicker twice and at the top you will see the cream coming out of the holes. Apply it onto your armpit and rub in. Make sure you apply it before bed time.
2. You will need to do this twice for both armpits.
Review
I was sick and tired of trying out different deodorants, I wanted one where it would last all day long and where I wouldn't sweat through it.
After trying several deodorants, I finally decided to try the Rexona Clinical Protection deodorant, after my boyfriend had been using the male version of it and had always wondered why he didn't sweat or smell bad.
I apply this every night before bed time and don't have to worry about putting it on in the morning.
The best thing is, I don't have to stress about sweating throughout the day, because I honestly do not sweat at all. I feel a lot more confident and I don't have to worry about sweating and it definitely beats any other deodorant I have tried.
Because it's a "special" formulation it is on the pricey side and does cost $15.00, however it does last quite a while.
So, if you're on a hunt to find the perfect deodorant, I definitely recommend this one.

Baby wipes can not only be used for babies, but can also be used for us. Baby wipes are actually an awesome make up remover agent. They're designed for sensitive skin, because the majority of babies tend to get nappy rash.
Make up wipes tend to come in a pack of 25 and may be seeing yourself paying $5+ for them, that's $60+ per year on make up wipes. Some make up wipes don't even work properly and are a total rip off.
Buying baby wipes is a fantastic alternative to make up wipes. Baby wipes tend to be a lot cheaper and usually come in packs of 50-80. You can find yourself paying $3-5 for these and they will last you TWICE as longer, which definitely a great advantage.
Regular make up wipes tend to have rubbing alcohol in them, which usually isn't a good thing and can cause break outs on skin, while baby wipes do not have rubbing alcohol or any harsh chemical in them.
Make up artists tend opt for baby wipes, rather than make up wipes, because it's a better alternative and works better on the skin.
by Cocodoll
Whoever thought Kool Aid could be used as a lip stain, is a definitely a genius. 1. Pour a packet of red Kool Aid into a small bowl.
2. Use a small drop of water on the Kool Aid. You don't want to turn the Kool Aid into a drink.
3. Put your finger into the wet area of the Kool Aid and apply it to your bottom lip.
4. Add a little more water to the Kool Aid mixture.
5. Take a cotton bud and dip it into the Kool Aid mixture and then apply to your upper lip and fill in your bottom lip.
You're done! A cheap, easy, tasty way to have beautiful red lips.

Movie Review
The Cabin in the Woods
by zombies

The Cabin in the Woods is a 2011 horror/comedy starring Kristen Connolly and Chris Hemsworth. This movie plays on every horror cliche out there and amplifies it. The plot itself is pretty unique, but it's best to watch this movie without knowing what the "twist" is.
Generally speaking, this movie is about a group of teenagers who go out to their friend's cabin for a break and find themselves being terrorized in more ways than one. They have to fight to survive despite all the odds being against them.
I think another word to describe this movie would be "bizarre". It's just not what you would expect from this genre. It does have some gory scenes in it but overall I don't think there's enough suspense to really call it a horror. It's a satire of the horror genre, and it's odd enough to be worth watching.
Wicked Lovely
by zombies

Wicked Lovely is a fantasy young adult novel by Melissa Marr. The novel is about Aislinn Foy, a teenage girl capable of seeing faeries. Unlike the stereotypical faerie, these faeries are powerful and dangerous and she must keep the fact that she can see them to herself. However, a faerie named Keenan is aware of her sight and is drawn to her.
Aislinn finds out that he is the Summer King and wants to make her Summer Queen in order to keep summer from perishing. Aislinn soon learns that many are unhappy with her potential rise to Summer Queen.
I thought that this book was interesting and definitely one of the better YA novels out there. I haven't heard of too many novels about faeries so this seems like a fairly unique concept. It is also part of a series consisting of five books, so the story is quite long. Overall, if you're a big fan of supernatural-themed YA books, this is a great book to add to your list.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
by zombies

Most of you have probably at least heard of this show by now, but here's the breakdown if you haven't: Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a drama/comedy about Buffy, a teenage vampire slayer tasked with saving the world from evil. She's the only slayer in the world and won't be replaced until she dies, so she's at it alone until she befriends Giles, her watcher/guardian, Xander, and Willow.
The evil is never ending in Sunnydale, Buffy's home town. On top of all of the apocalyptic drama, she also has to deal with trying to fit in at school. The show starts off a little cheesy but if you stick with it you'll probably love it. Buffy has a huge fan base and I know I've watched the entire series at least four times through already. The plots are interesting and the humor is always well placed. It's definitely worth a watch if you're into the supernatural genre.
Cinco de Mayo
by zombies

Cinco de Mayo is a national Mexican holiday honoring the 1862 victory over the French. In 1862, the French were trying to establish a monarchy in Mexico, and the Mexicans fought back. Cinco de Mayo specifically honors the Battle of the Puebla, a battle in which approximately 1,000 French soldiers were killed. This battle inspired the Mexicans to keep fighting and they were able to drive the French out within 5 years. The city this battle took place in has since been renamed Puebla de Zaragoza, and houses a museum devoted to the battle, and the site of the battlefield preserved as a park.
This is a major holiday that is celebrated with parades, festivals, and even re-enactments. It is not only celebrated in Mexico, but also in areas with high Mexican populations including parts of the United States. Some groups even extend the holiday for a week.

How do you feel about plastic surgery?
Some say that you should be able to do whatever you want to your body, while others say NO WAY. Here is what some of our members had to say. What do you think?
| Side A | Side B | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
I think that plastic surgery is okay. If people are not happy with themselves and they can change themselves, who are we to stop them? Also, plastic surgery helps when you have been in a car accident, or had your face deformed due to an attack, etc. Plastic surgery isn't just for those who are just unhappy with their appearance. It helps those who were victims get what they lost back. - ocean_crumbles |
I think plastic surgery is ugly, tbh. although, I have seen some good looking boob jobs lol. but I think for the most part it's a terrible thing to do to your body. - chococat |

CYO Designer Interview
Thanks to an awesome suggestion by Rinny, Pulse has now incorporated a CYO designer interview, and we have chosen Hollyx as our first interviewee!
1. When did you first start designing CYO?
I started designing CYO 'properly' about a year ago now, I'd been playing around with CYO in bits and pieces but never really got into it properly until last year.
2. What made you start designing CYO?
Originally I started CYO because it was a 'new challenge' and was all new and fun after doing forum sig & banner graphics for so long. It was joining one of Aimee's CYO competitions that really made me fall in love with designing though!
3. What is your favourite CYO piece that you have created?
Oh gosh, this is a tough decision to make, but it's probably this dress that I made for Ami as one of her birthday gifts.
4. What your biggest CYO accomplishment so far?
I'd say, my biggest accomplishment so far is opening my shop, and then having it reach 15,000 sales in it's first 10 months or so is a pretty big one for me.
5. What is the best thing about designing CYO?
My fav thing about designing is being able to create something exactly how you want it. It's one of my biggest hates when you go shopping and see a dress but don't like the sequins on it, or if you like a top but not the colour.. it gives you that option to make things exactly how you want them and have full creative control.
6. How long does it take you to create a CYO piece?
Really depends on the piece.. I could whip up an entire shop outfit in 1-2 hours, but then I could end up spending hours and hours and a ton of sleepless nights on one mega exclusive dress.
7. Who is your favourite CYO designer?
Oh that's easy! Ami & Sollie absolutely. Everything they make is flawless. I'm so jealous.
8. What's one tip you can offer to new CYO designers?
My big tip to new CYO designers would be to really take in what you see in everyday life, seeing people wearing so many different styles of clothing in everyday life really is the biggest inspiration and place to study from. Look at how shadows are formed on different people, and how the shapes look different on different heights/shapes/sizes.
