| How to Choose Hats for Your Face Shape Posted: 04 May 2020 05:00 PM PDT Most of you may have had trouble buying a hat: The hat looks absolutely incredible and super chic on the mannequin, and you realize painfully later that the hat worn around your head looks infinitely unsatisfactory. Then you are stuck in the vicious cycle wherein every hat seems odd or silly on you. You have become hat-paranoid. It's time to turn over a new leaf and resume the adventure. By picking a flattering hat based on your face shape, you can add flair and sharpness to your appearance. [Edit]Measuring Your Face - Measure your forehead. Using a tape measure, measure across your forehead. Measure from the peak of one eyebrow arch to the arch-peak of the opposite eyebrow. Write down that number.[1]
- Measure your cheekbones. Using a tape measure, measure the distance across your upper cheeks. Start and end at the bump below the outside corner of each eye. Write down that number.[2]
- Measure your jawline. Using a tape measure, measure from the bottom tip of your chin to the bottom of your ears. Stop at the place where your jaw angles upward. Multiply that number by two. Write down that number. This is your "jawline."[3]
- Measure your face-length. Using a tape measure, measure from the center of your forehead (at your hairline) to the bottom tip of your chin. Write down that number.[4]
- Ask yourself three questions. Using these measurements as a guide, ask yourself the following:[5]
- What is the widest part of my face?
- What is the shape of my jaw?
- How long is my face? Is it longer than it is wide, and if so, by how much?
[Edit]Determining Your Face Shape - Look for an "oval face." An oval face will have a length that is roughly one and half times greater than your face width. The forehead is a bit larger than the jawline, and the angle of the jaw is a bit more round. An oval face will look like an egg.[6]
- Look for a "round face." A round face will be the same width and length. A round face has a round chin, full cheeks, and a round hairline. It makes you look younger than other shapes.[7]
- Look for an "oblong face." An oblong face will be longer than it is wide. The forehead, cheekbones, and jawline of an oblong face will be similar in size. Oblong faces may feature high foreheads.[8]
- Look for a "heart-shaped face." This face shape is very common. In a heart-shaped face, the chin is the narrowest part. A heart-shaped face has a broad forehead and/or wide cheekbones, and pointy chin.
- Look for a "square face." A square-shaped face has a length almost equal to its width. The distance from forehead to chin and from cheek to cheek are roughly the same.[9]
- Look for a "triangle face." Triangular faces will be characterized by a large jawline, slightly smaller cheekbones, and smallest forehead. A triangle face may be any length. Triangle-shaped faces are also known as pear shaped faces.[10]
[Edit]Selecting a Hat for Your Face Shape - Choose hats for an "oval face." Feel free to try all kinds of hats! You are blessed with a very versatile look! Pick up whatever suits your mood, as long as the hat is in harmony with your outfit. Women with oval faces can top off any hat.[11]
- The possibilities are limitless! It only depends on your personal preferences.
- Experiment with earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
- Choose hats for a "round face." Add some asymmetry to your look. You can perfectly handle a fedora, a newsboy hat, or a baseball cap. This symmetrical face cries out for a new angle: asymmetry. The roundness requires a slimming treatment.[12]
- Steer clear of round crowns, which can emphasize the roundness of your face.
- It is wise to select a hat with a high crown and straight brim in order to give your face more angles.
- Your main goal is to choose a hat that helps distract people's attention from your facial curves.
- Slanting your hat forward draws out your face and gives a touch of definition.
- Choose hats for an "oblong face." Try a hat with a flared brim and low crown, such as a sunhat, a cloche, or a fedora with a large brim. The large brim of a sunhat may well offset the length of a long face.
- Avoid any hats with tall crowns, which only elongate your face even more.
- A cloche worn low to your eyebrows can help conceal your high forehead, and, like sorcery, create an impression of shortened face.
- The large brim of the fedora also counterbalances vertical curves.
- Choose hats for a "heart-shaped face." Go with a medium brimmed hat, such as a fedora with a medium sized brim, a boater, a cloche, a homburg, a beanie, or a beret. These are all good choices! These hats balance out the width of your forehead.[13]
- Slanting the hat to one side will slim your face and draw attention to the eyes.
- Actually, any type will work well on you except those with large brims.
- Avoid shapes that accentuate the shape. Stay away from wide brims which only accentuate your forehead and narrow your chin.
- Choose hats for a "square face." Experiment with circular styles. Your defined and symmetrical face requires circular features to soften the edges of the face. Round crown and brim will do the trick, smoothing a boxy face and inducing the illusion of height and roundness.[14]
- Opt for a sunhat, a cowboy hat, a homburg, a cloche or a toque, which gives you a feminine and flirty touch.
- A beret will elongate and cushion your facial contour.
- Tilting the hat off to one side breaks up the symmetry pattern of your square face.
- A sunhat with a pair of sunglasses and a flowing maxi dress adds boho-chic to your ensemble. It is a perfect combination for your beach vacation.
- Don't wear a hat with a short brim, no brim or a square hat. These two types of hats will both emphasize your angular face shape.
- Choose hats for a "triangle face." Feel free to try many hats. A triangle face is like an oval face shape that the options are virtually endless when it comes to a hat. Make sure your hat brings balance to your shoulder line, and accent to your garment.
- Never get close to a crown that is narrower than the cheekbones.

| How to Boil an Egg in an Electric Kettle Posted: 04 May 2020 01:00 AM PDT Boiled eggs are a delicious and nutritious way to add some extra protein to your meal, or they can be enjoyed on their own as a tasty snack. Believe it or not, you can actually soft-boil or hard-boil your eggs using an electric kettle. It's super simple and easy to do, and all you need to make it happen is an electric kettle that doesn't have exposed coils in the bottom of it, which will burn the eggs. [Edit]Soft-Boiling the Eggs - Place the eggs in the electric kettle. Pop open the lid of the kettle, take the eggs out of the carton or container, and gently place them into the kettle so they don't crack. Don't fill the kettle more than halfway full with eggs or they may not cook evenly.[1]
- Be careful not to shake the kettle or allow the eggs to roll around to keep them from cracking.
- Cover the eggs with of water. Carefully hold the kettle beneath a faucet and pour cool water into it. Make sure you don't shift the eggs around too much so they don't crack. Fill the kettle until the water is above the eggs.[2]
- Use cool water so you don't overcook the eggs.
- Turn on the kettle and allow it to come to a boil. Make sure the kettle is plugged in and flip the switch to turn it on. Wait until the water comes to a boil and the kettle turns off on its own. If your kettle doesn't turn off once it reaches a boil, then turn it off yourself as soon as the water starts bubbling.[3]
- Remove the eggs and place them into a bowl of cold water. Fill a medium to large-sized bowl with cold water and place it near the kettle. Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon and take the eggs out of the kettle and gently place them into the bowl of cold water so they stop cooking.[4]
- It's important that the water in the bowl is cold so the eggs don't continue to cook after you remove them.
- You can toss a couple of ice cubes in the bowl of water to cool the eggs even faster.
- Peel and eat the soft-boiled eggs once they're cool to the touch. Start peeling a soft-boiled egg by tapping the top of it lightly with a spoon to crack it. Then, use your fingers to carefully lift the shell off of the egg. Continue lifting the shell from the surface of the egg until it's completely removed.[5]
- Soft-boiled eggs can be enjoyed on their own with a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked pepper, or you can add them to a tasty dish like the top of some avocado toast or in a bowl of ramen noodles.
[Edit]Hard-Boiling the Eggs - Place the eggs into the kettle and cover them with water. Carefully set the eggs inside of the kettle, making sure you don't drop them or shake the kettle so they don't crack. Fill the kettle with cool water until the eggs are covered with about of water.[6]
- Make sure you use cool water so you don't start cooking the eggs!
- Avoid filling the kettle more than halfway full with eggs so they cook evenly.
- Turn on the kettle and let it come to a boil. Plug in the kettle and press the button or switch that turns it on to start it up. Leave it undisturbed until it comes to a boil and turns off automatically. If your kettle doesn't automatically turn off once the water reaches a boil, wait until the water is bubbling away and then turn it off.[7]
- Leave the eggs in the kettle for 15 minutes, then transfer them to cold water. Set a timer for 15 minutes and allow the eggs to simply soak in the hot water and cook. Fill a bowl with cool water and place it near the kettle. Once the timer goes off, use a spoon or a pair of tongs to remove the eggs from the water and place them into the cool water.[8]
- The cool water will stop them from cooking further and will allow you to pick them up without burning your hands.
- Set a timer on your stove or on your phone so you can hear it and the eggs won't overcook.
- Peel the eggs and eat them or store them in your refrigerator. An easy way to peel stubborn hard-boiled eggs is to tap the bottom of the egg a few times on your sink or countertop to crack it, then use your fingers to start lifting the shell from the bottom. If bits of the shell are stuck on the egg, hold the egg under running water as you peel to loosen them. You can then eat the eggs, or place them in a container in your refrigerator for up to a week.[9]
- Hard-boiled eggs are great on their own with some salt and pepper, but you can also chop them up and toss them into a salad to add some extra protein!
- Holding the egg under a running faucet as you peel it can make it easier to remove the shell.
- Set a timer so you don't overcook your eggs!
[Edit]Warnings - Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water so you don't burn yourself.
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Electric kettle without exposed coils in the bottom
- Medium to large-sized bowl
- Pair of tongs or a large spoon
- Container (if you plan to store them in the fridge)
