Get gourgeous in a flash!

I was bored stiff surfing the internet when I bumped into this great blog. It reminded me of my female students ( 3º, 4º, bachillerato...) who are very concerned about their appearance ( a bit vain, I think that's the word). The girl from the blog will teach you through videos and show you a lot of beautiful,different hairstyles...Some seem very easy. I'll try some one day.

Oh, before starting...it's in English (haha,it's like killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?)

If you need a hair straightener you know where you have to go, don't you? ( a bit of free ad there!)

If you like and understand them, I suggest watching the rest on Youtube.

To know more about this incredible adventurous novel written by Mark Twain...search on "wikipedia".

One of the main characters in "The Lord of the Rings" is also one of the main ones here.

Let me give you a piece of advice...
1) Go to the kitchen, make yourself some nice pop-corn
2) Go to your lounge and sit on a comfy sofa,dim light...
3) Put all your senses while watching because there are no subtitles. SORRY!
4) Last but not least...ENJOY!

Listen to American President, Barack Obama. There are plenty of things you can recognise easily: different tenses, conditionals, the passive voice.
