Get Gatsby Style With This Faux-Bob Tutorial

Get ready to watch The Great Gatsby this weekend with a flapper hairstyle you can create — without the scissors.
by

Get ready to watch The Great Gatsby this weekend with a flapper hairstyle you can create — without the scissors. Stars like Zoe Saldana, Jessica Biel, and Freida Pinto have all worn the faux bob, and what makes this tucked-under look so fun is your ability to change up your look without the commitment. Set it in retro-inspired waves for a 1920s vibe, and then top it off with a sparkling headband like the ASOS Flapper Hair Band ($25) for a look to rival Daisy Buchanan. So bust out the bobby pins and hair spray, and get the step-by-step for this retro-meets-modern faux bob when you read more.

Gravlax Recipe

Curing Gravlax at Home Is Easier Than You Think

Home-curing gravlax, while perhaps not on par with dry-aging steaks at home or transforming a slab of pork belly into bacon, might still seem like a culinary experiment best left to the experts, but that's not the case.

Home-curing gravlax, while perhaps not on par with dry-aging steaks at home or transforming a slab of pork belly into bacon, might still seem like a culinary experiment best left to the experts, but that's not the case. Minimal effort and time are required — the salmon cures for a mere three days — to yield results far superior to the majority of store-bought options. This is largely because you, not the producer, are in control of the quality of fish you select, as well as the choice of flavoring agents. And at a third of the price, home-cured gravlax is far more economical than store-bought, even when using top-quality ingredients.

Seek out the freshest salmon you can acquire: the flavor of the fish intensifies as moisture is lost in the curing process. Instructions here are for gravlax with a classic dill and anise flavor profile, but feel free to experiment with other spices and herbs; just keep the ratio of sugar, salt, and fish consistent.

A Matzo House Craft For Kids For Passover

Bring out the builder in your tots this Passover! Though the holiday teaches us that the Jews had to flee their homes, this fun (and mostly edible) craft will have your lil ones building a new kind of shelter for the holiday. While looking for some holiday activities for kids, I came across Martha Stewart's directions for a Matzo home and knew it would make for a fun afternoon. Not only can children get involved in building and decorating this dwelling, it makes for a great centerpiece during your Seder (just don't get mad when the kids start eating the decorations while waiting for their meal!). See how to make it when you click through!

Eco-Chic: Naturally Dye Easter Eggs With Leftovers

Instead of tossing those strawberries and blueberries that aren't so fresh, use them to naturally dye your Easter eggs.
by

Instead of tossing those strawberries and blueberries that aren't so fresh, use them to naturally dye your Easter eggs. And if you've got a pair of nylons that have a run, they can help create eggs that will look amazing on your holiday table. You might be surprised at how various odds and ends, like onion skins and used tea bags, create eco-friendly colorings that give your leftovers a second use — and cost basically nothing to make. Set color with a splash of vinegar, soak hard-boiled eggs for a few hours, and you're on your way to the prettiest Easter eggs on the block.
