Which birth flower matches your personality? Each month has a different flower associated with it, so depending on your birth date, you have a birth flower. This is very similar to the birth stones with which people are more familiar.
The tradition likely dates back to at least the Romans, who used flowers to celebrate birthdays.
January’s flower is the carnation, which blooms in the colder weather in places that do not freeze. February has the violet, which symbolizes faithfulness, wisdom and hope. The daffodil is the March flower and is associated with spring and rebirth.
April has the sweet pea, youth and purity are its hallmarks. May is the lily of the valley, a flower of humility and sweetness. June is the rose, representing love and appreciation.
July gets the larkspur, with its levity and lightness. August is the gladiolus, a flower I have never heard of, which represents strength and remembrance.
The aster goes with September and is associated with patience and affection. October has the marigold, warm and fierce. November is chrysanthemum, which represents compassion and friendship. Finally, December gets the poinsettia, with its good cheer and success.

Apparently You Should Never Throw Out Rice Water. The Reason Is Priceless!

The next time you cook rice for dinner, make sure to save the leftover water it was boiled in. Rice water, that milky white liquid you’re left with, is brimming with all sorts of vitamins and minerals that your body craves.
Japanese women have used it for centuries in their health and beauty routines to make their hair shine and skin glow. It’s one of the easiest and all natural ways to effectively moisturize and protect hair and skin, plus it’s super affordable and you get a meal out of it!
To get the most out of rice water, you should aim to use organic rice and distilled water. First rinse the rice off and then simply boil it, drain the excess water into a container, and allow it to cool. Now you can use it right away or pop a lid on and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
Below are some of the most common ways that people use it in their health and beauty routines: Facial cleanser and toner- After washing your face, soak a cotton pad in rice water and gently apply it all over your face and neck area.
This helps to even out skin tone, as well as smooth and tighten it, and your skin will feel soft and moisturized. The antioxidants and B vitamins in it help slow aging and protect skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation by preventing age spots.
Hair treatment- After shampooing and rinsing your hair, drench it in rice water. Massage it gently into your hair and scalp and allow this to soak for about 5 minutes. Rinse well with plain water and do this once or twice a week for best results.
The proteins in the rice water strengthen and fill in cracks in hair shafts, leaving you with silky smooth, shiny hair. Full body soak- Add some rice water to your bath, or place a ½ cup of rice in a muslin bag and drop that in the tub.
Sit back, relax, and soak it all in for at least 15 minutes. Taking a rice water bath is an excellent way to alleviate painful or irritating skin conditions, like eczema and rashes. The moisturizing and healing properties of the rice water helps to reduce inflammation and restore moisture to skin.
There are other ways to harness the powerful benefits of rice water, the three above are the most simple and main ones. Check out the video for more easy and effective ways to work it into your beauty routine.

Inside This Old Texas Barn There Was A $700,000 Treasure That Sat Unseen For Over 40 Years!
image via – youtube.com
Treasure can come in many forms, whether it’s gold, money, gems and jewels, or classic cars. Old hot rods are collectible items and many makes and models are extremely rare and hard to find. This is especially true for American cars produced before World War II, not many have made it through the years, much less in good condition.
When a trove of vintage automobiles was discovered a few years ago word spread quickly in the classic car community. The find was hailed “the holy grail for a car guy” by Antonio Brunet, the chairman and founder of Motostalgia Auctions, and the man who located the cars.
Mr Brunet said that the owner of the cars, a man named Jack, had moved down to the Austin Texas area back in the early 70s. He brought with him a collection of cars which he kept stored in a barn on his property. He had plans to fix them up and restore them to their original glory but instead they sat in his barn untouched for 40 years.
Mr. Brunet was there when the barn doors were finally swung open and what he saw before him was a car lover’s dream. Inside, covered in dirt and dust, sat five vintage automobiles dating from 1908 to 1938, and one travel trailer.
The cars were all in tact and sported their original parts, which made the find even more rare and unusual. One was a concept car, a design prototype, and only one of four ever built. Throughout its history only three people had ever even owned it, and the trailer that was also found had only been used two times.
You can check them all out and learn a little bit about their history as Mr. Brunet goes over each one in the video. He really knows vintage cars and all the interesting details, specs, and stories behind them. The collection and each car’s estimated value is given below:
1908 REO Model G Boattail Roadster/Sedan Tonneau valued at $75-$95,000
1923 Milburn Electric Model 27L valued at $90-$125,000
1932 Cadillac 370B V-12 Victoria Convertible valued at $285-$350,000
1933 Cadillac Model 370C V-12 Town Coupe valued at $55-$75,000
1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16 Fleetwood Limo valued at $45-$65,000
1937 Kozy Coach Travel Trailer valued at $75-$100,000
The owner, Jack, eventually decided to put his amazing collection up for sale and had Mr. Brunet bring them to an auction held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past June.
By the time it was over the cars had all been sold for a grand total of more than $744,000 cash, not bad for a couple of cars that sat covered in dust for 40+ years!

She Tries To Give This Adorable Sloth A Treat But He Wants THIS Unexpected Surprise From Her Instead!
image via – youtube.com
There are quite a few videos online that feature easy going, wide eyed sloths. The adorable slow moving creatures are loved by many people the world over and it’s easy to see why. They’re always well behaved and very docile, gentle, and non-aggressive in their mannerisms and movements.
It’s in their nature to be sheepish but sometimes the furry little creatures just want to cuddle up close with a warm body and be loved, like the one in this clip.
The video was captured at the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica, a special place that offers visitors a chance to get up close and personal with the sloths that live there. One of the visitors who had gone to see the residents and interact with them gingerly offered up a colorful Hibiscus flower to one of the sloths.
The flowers are a tasty treat that sloths love, but the one in the video was more interested in the lady than the yummy snack. The adorable animal slowly made her way over to the woman and paused to smell the pink flower, then kept going until she was in a spot where she could climb into the woman’s arms.
Ever so slowly the sloth extended her legs towards the delighted woman until she was in her arms hugging her! The friendly sloth definitely made the woman’s day, she couldn’t stop smiling, and it looks like everyone there was happy as could be!
The Sloth Sanctuary is devoted to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sick or injured sloths who call the country’s rain forests home. They also run a variety of research and education programs which aim to promote respect and understanding of the gentle animals.
Many people are misinformed about sloths and part of the reason why is the negative associations people assume about them based off their name. Sloths got their unflattering name due to the fact that they move so slowly.
However, they are built for this and are not the lazy, sluggish, lethargic mammals that many often view them as. Sloths only move when necessary because they need to conserve as much energy as possible due to their diet consisting of mainly leaves.
Leaves provide little energy and are hard to digest, which is why sloths have specialized stomachs that slowly break down leaves. It often takes them a month or more to completely digest the contents of their stomachs.
Other ways in which they conserve energy include low metabolic rates and low body temperatures, and of course, slow paced movements. Sloths are wonderful, fascinating creatures and one of nature’s sweetest animals.
Check out the video to see how kind and gentle they truly are, and fall in love with them.

This Woman Wraps A T-Shirt Around Her Wet Hair. When She Removes It The Next Morning STUNNING!

Beautiful, bouncy curls are always in style, but attaining the effortless look of them is anything but that. Curly hair can be a real pain when it comes to maintaining, styling, and creating the perfect look. Fussing with curls too much just makes them frizzy but there’s no other way to go about doing hair other than that.
To combat the problem many people end up using way too much product, like gels and sprays, that weigh down hair and make it look bad. Others blow dry, chemically straighten, or run hot irons through curls in attempts to get hair under control.
These can damage and ruin otherwise perfectly healthy hair and eat up a lot of time, patience, and money that could be better spent elsewhere. So what’s a girl to do? There’s hope for curly haired people everywhere in the form of a simple technique called plopping or plunking.
It sounds kinda funny but this method can give you beautiful, frizz-free, bouncy curls. It’s easy to master and only requires a tee shirt. There are no expensive gadgets or serums necessary and since it’s done overnight you’ll free up a lot of time in your morning routine, yet still look great!
This video will show you how to plop your hair so check it out and try it tonight. First, shower and clean your hair, towel dry it, and add any styling product you prefer to use. Only smooth product onto hair from the ears down and don’t put any above your ears because that weighs down hair.
Also, overtime the products build up and that makes hair look really bad and unhealthy. After combing the product(s) in evenly through your hair, lay out a large cotton t-shirt and smooth it down on a flat surface in front of you, a bed works perfectly.
Shake your hair out, then flip it in front of you and carefully lower your head down onto the shirt so that the curls don’t get crumpled or tangled. Keeping your head still, grab the bottom edge of the shirt and wrap it around towards the base of your neck, holding it there in place.
Now grab the top of the tee and pull the neckline part down to the base of your neck, pulling the sleeves to the side of your head. Tie the sleeves in the front so you end up creating a turban out of the shirt and tuck in the tails or any extra loose fabric to keep it in place.
It may take a few tries to master the t-shirt turban but eventually you’ll get it right and love what plopping does for your hair. The shirt will protect your curls overnight as you sleep on them and in the morning all that’s left to do is to unwrap your hair.
Your curls will be dry, bouncy, frizz free, and while you may have to reshape a few with a curling iron, that’s it!

They Didn’t Cut Their Hair Since The 80’s. But Watch Their Incredible Makeover After 20 years!
image via – facebook.com
How you style your hair can either age you or make you look much younger than you actually are. Badly styled hair can make a 30 year old look 50 and according to experts, people should change their hair style every two years or so to keep current.
It’s no secret that the easiest way to makeover and revamp your overall look is with a haircut. By simply switching up your hair style, and cutting or dying it, you can shave years off of your appearance and feel young and new again.
With each passing year comes a new hair style and certain ones end up becoming iconic, representative of certain eras and past decades. A prime example of this is the long, bouncy, big, teased out to the max 80’s-style rocker hair.
That type of hair was glamorous and an absolute must have for anyone active in, on, or around the rock and roll scene in the 1980’s. However, any person who sports that style of hair today automatically looks like they’re old, outdated, and basically stuck in the 80s.
Tim and Wendy White were such people. They rocked their 80’s glam hair all through the 90s before friends stepped in and got them the professional help they knew they so badly needed.
Help came in the form of Oprah Whitney and her makeover team of specialists. They interviewed the couple before and after their makeovers and got their takes on how they felt about their appearance. Wendy revealed that she hadn’t had a haircut since 1992 and thought that her hair made her look 6-11 years older.
Tim’s last haircut was even longer ago, in 1985!! Even though he was 43 years old, he thought that his hair aged him 7-17 years and that he looked about 50-60 years old. The couple knew they needed to make a change and were ready for it.
They looked like totally different people when they finally walked out onto the stage for the big reveal. It’s amazing to see how something as simple as a haircut can make such an enormous difference. Check out the video to see just how much of a transformation they underwent.
Even the audience gasped and was shocked by the new looks, while Tim couldn’t believe his eyes when he first saw Wendy. It all makes for a truly awesome, feel good moment, and it may just inspire you to get a new haircut!
Let us know what you think of this amazing transformation!
