A shemagh, or a keffiyeh, is a traditiona Arab headdress that's worn by Arab men. Made from a square scarf, it protects their heads and face from desert wind and sun.

But that problem will be completely solved in this video, in which you'll learn how to bypass the gaps.

It's pretty odd that summer's hottest braided hairstyles are modeled after fish tails, given that fish don't possess much hair of their own. Either way, the fishtail braid/plait is a sexy look for everyone, especially adult women who want to wear braids without looking like Pippi Longstocking.
Remember baby Maggie from "The Simpsons" and the adorable Christmas tree-shaped star bodysuit to Lisa's sax recital? Babies look cute in almost anything but somehow wrapping them up in star-shaped blankets/costumes puts them at their cutest.

The biggest problem with plastic wrap is also its most useful trait: its incredibly clingy nature. Plastic wrap seems to stick to itself or you before you can get it over the plate, bowl, or food you're trying to preserve. And once you do manage to get it in the right position, it never sticks as well as you need it to. Fortunately, you can combat these inconveniences with two extremely helpful methods—a change in temperature or a bit of added moisture—as Jenny Stewart of CHOW explains in the...

To cover up those dark eye circles invest in a good concealer that is lightweight and of premium texture. You will want to look for a shade that is peachy or pink in tone. Take some of the concealer and dot it onto the dark line only and then blend it in with your finger. Most people also have a red patch at the outer corner of the eye. Covering this with concealer will give the eyes an immediate lift. Applying some concealer is much better than applying a lot of makeup.
