Hairstyles for round face in 2009

HAIRSTYLES FOR ROUND FACE IN 2009
Curly is the magic word for the people with a round face in the year 2009. Curls, which starts below the chin enhance the features and do not add to the width of the face. People with round face should avoid center parting as it makes the face look fuller. Short hairstyles are going to be preferred by many with a round face, with a special effort to keep the hair long enough to be below the chin, to give the face an elongated face. One can draw away from the round shape by applying gentle waves. However, one should be careful while trying it, as over doing can actually accentuate the fullness of the face.

Textured hair works well with a round face. While trying a short hair cut, one should always go with textured layers to elongate the face. Wispy ends work equally well, in decreasing the width of the face.

Drew's Charitable Heart

By the time yesterday's Oprah had ended, Drew Barrymore had not only expressed her feelings about her cutie of a boyfriend Justin Long, but more importantly, made the HUGE announcement that she was donating $1 million to the World Food Progamme.

Barrymore, a UN ambassador and the current Vogue cover girl, appeared on Monday's Oprah for a big give of her own during the themed show. After both her and Long were questioned about their blossoming romance by Winfrey, (we'll get to that a little later) Barrymore presented a check for $1 million dollars to the World Food Programme, which will help feed children in Africa. Barrymore, who has worked with the charity since 2005, has already made two trips to Kenya and seen for herself what a big impact she is making. "I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child's life," the actress told Winfrey. "It helps them learn, stay healthy, and sets them on track for a bright future." Best friend Cameron Diaz even phoned in, expressing how proud she was of her donation, saying that she was "choked up."

Barrymore, like I mentioned before, also opened up about her and Long's relationship. Both "fresh" out of the shower after using the hotel shampoo, (Barrymore revealed after Winfrey asked why she smelled so good) Barrymore described Long as her best friend and the relationship as "healthy, productive, supportive and full of humor," also stating that they were having an "excellent time."

And what does Long have to say about his lady love?

"She smells good," Long told Winfrey. "She's beautiful," he said, "and funny. The most compassionate person I've ever met."

Definitely rooting for Drustin!
