The Hottest Hair Style Trends
December 27, 2012 By
Tired of the same old ponytail? Check out these fun, trendy ways to give your locks a new look. Chances are you might just see some of these styles worn around Fort Detrick Homes.
French Twist
Classic style is all over 2012 fashion, so why not match it with a classic hairstyle? Wear the twist tight or loose depending on the occasion, and then match the beautiful look with your favorite accessory to keep this updo in its proper place.
Side Part
Whatever your hair length, the side part is a great look for 2012. Compatible with all of the year's fashion trends and wonderfully simple, the side part is an easy go-to for those times when you want to look great but don't have a ton of time to burn on a more complicated look.
Looped Under Ponytails
Fold and loop a ponytail under for this fun, easy, and casual look. It's a great look for women with long hair that's on the straighter end of the spectrum, and is a great match to almost any of your outfits this season.
Wet Hair
The low-maintenance glistening look is killer. Not only can it have a wonderfully innocent, youthful look about it, but that just-washed look can look incredibly sophisticated when paired with the write wardrobe and make-up.
Big Blowouts
For some extra volume and drama go for this bouncy, full look. It's extremely elegant and easy to create – for gorgeous richness, all you have to do is apply a hefty dollop of mousse to your hair, put it into pin curls, and then tousle it all out afterwards.

Perfect Paper: Five DIY Stationery Ideas
December 13, 2012 By
Personalized stationery is a great way to add a little fun to a letter or note, and there are some things you just can’t do over e-mail. If you’re the crafty type, it’s easy and fun to make your own stationery. Here are five great ideas to get you started at home at Fort Detrick Homes.
For a really unique stationery presentation, take heavy, colored paper and embroider designs and shapes on them. Use bright, colorful thread and create a captivating design for a special note. Or just stitch a decorative border along one side of the paper.
Rubber stamps are also a great way to give a little visual interest to stationery. You can use a variety of ink or paints, but one really attractive method is using embossing powder and a hard surface to give your project a classy look.
One nice way to kick plain note cards up a notch is by using vintage fabric or wallpaper on the outside. Use Wonder-Under or another sheet glue to attach them, then add decorative stitching around the outside.
One clever way to add a little visual style to stationery is by making a pinhole pattern in the paper. Print out a template and then punch out holes every few centimeters – not enough to rip the paper, but just enough to communicate your design.
Block printing is a great way to add a decorative border or backing to stationery. You can use several different patterns for a more complex look, or just stick with simple geometric designs.
