Rose-Infused Ice Cubes, An Icelandic Secret For Amazing Skin

Mind Body Green writes:

In Iceland, using flowers and herbs in ice cubes is part of day-to-day culture for pore tightening, inflammation-reducing, and skin-brightening benefits. Herbalist Anna Rosa Robertsdottir’s encyclopedic tome, Icelandic Herbs and Their Medicinal Uses, is a brilliant and comprehensive anthology about the medicinal powers of 90 native herbs in Iceland. Reading it is like being driven around breathtaking fjords, up through icy waterfall-plunged cliffs growing herbage you’d want to pick in a heartbeat, and down into fragrant shrubs lying breathlessly by the ocean. But back to reality.

The best part about this DIY adventure is how easy the ice cubes are to make. And remember, if you have any leftover herbs and flowers, I’m thinking specifically mint, then you’re all set for the most delicious chocolate petals you ever did taste!

To-Do || Create A Bullet Journal

Free People writes:

Say goodbye to the 13 different lists crumbled up in your bag…

Life is busy, and sometimes I find myself making life harder by making too many damn lists. They become scattered, and therefore completely useless. I have composition books full of ideas, mixed with grocery lists and doodles. Time to face the music — I’m disorganized. My life is a series of lists. Lists that do absolutely nothing. So I decided that something had to change.

I was in serious need of a manageable system that would allow me to curate all of my ideas in one place. Hello, bullet journal.

My Top 5 Homeschool Resources

Wellness Mama writes:

We are just getting back into the swing of school for the year and I’ve been using several online tools that my kids love and that are making my life easier. Most of these homeschool resources are free, but the paid ones are well worth the cost.

Even if you don’t homeschool, these tools and resources may help make school easier for your own children and speed up the learning (and homework) process.

If you don’t have kids, these tools are still great for learning speed reading and other new skills.

We did it in color study class on my college and it’s incredible the difference between using red/blue/yellow than cyan/magenta/yellow. The purple was colored like shit, so as the greens. Than we tried the actuall primary colors and it FELT SO GOOD!

I JUST TESTED IT IN MY ART PROGRAM AND HOLY SHIT

IT WORKED REALLY WELL

On the left we have dissapoinment; on the right, love.

Then why do they teach us that RBY are primary colours in Pre-KG????

kamiyu910

To mess with our heads….

Or because they think that cyan and magenta are too difficult for kids to learn? Lame either way

Okay, no. No no no no no no no no NO.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN.

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style.

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Good day.

Also thatswhiskytoyou’s color mixing is bullshit because THIS:

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

I see, I see.

jheselbraum

OH AND ONE MORE THING.

They didn’t teach you about red blue green and cmyk in pre-k because when most of us were in pre-k digital art was still in its early stages and what fucking seven year old knows how to use a printer.

jheselbraum

GUESS WHO’S NOT FUCKING DONE YET:

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

neuroatypically-speaking

Soooooooooo glad someone finally made a response to this. I am way too far removed from my color theory class to explain additive and subtractive color to Tumblr and this post was making me nuts.
