Too Thin or Too Fat ...

With another model, Candice Swanepoel, hitting the headlines due to a massive weight loss, isn't it time that women started to ask just why some of us feel the need to put our health at risk to meet a standard that we know is unrealistic. Who do we do this for?

Recently in the UK there was a week of documentary programmes which concentrated on children who were both obese and too thin. They were challenged to lose weight or put on weight depending on their circumstances. The programmes did highlight a growing problem with children struggling with eating problems, but is TV the correct medium for this.

One thing that did strike me about the programmes that I saw was that in virtually all the cases the Mother had to take a huge proportion of the blame for their child's problems, in that it was far easier to give in and let child eat, or not eat, what they wanted. The Mothers far too often wanted to be their child's friend rather than taking responsibility as the parent.

So many of us have an unhealthy relationship with food, using it to medicate ourselves when we feel down, using it as rewards or even as a punishment by denying ourselves or others. With Easter just around the corner how many of us will be hitting the chocolate and then feeling guilty about it? Or, on the opposite side of the fence feeling really good about resisting it?

Chocolate, like everything, is good for us in moderation and isn't that what we should be starting to believe? Not a new message but a very apt one.

Want the man in your life to do more cleaning?

The good news is that you don't need to invest in a clockwork man like the one in the picture. Though if you do discover where you can buy a clockwork hunk like the one above then be sure to let me know where. You can get your real man to clean with some subtle mind play and it isn't as difficult as you might think.

The way to get your guy, or anyone else, thinking of cleaning products and more importantly using them is to ensure that there is a vague smell of citrus  in the air. The smell works on the subconscious stimulating the thoughts towards cleaning.

In a study with students in the Netherlands, it was proven that when they sat in a cubicle with a vague scent of citrus they were three times more likely to list cleaning on a list of things they planned to do that day, than students sat in a scent-free cubicle. When the same groups of students were then taken into a separate room and given a crumbly biscuit to eat, the students who had been exposed to the citrus were far more likely to clear up any crumbs which fell on the table.

So buy yourself some citrus aromatherapy oils and a bottle of wine. Put a drop or two of the citrus oil in a room where your guy hangs out, pour yourself a glass of wine then relax while he cleans!

Great Beauty Cheats

Even though the chancellor thinks we are going to be quids in now he has so generously taken a penny off the price of litre of fuel ... we know better, so any way to save the pennies is always welcome. As granny used to say "Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves"  All these great beauty cheats will help you save the pennies so you will hopefully have pounds to spend on other things.

Lemon juice will help to whiten those dreaded yellow nails caused leaving nail varnish on too long. Rub a slice over the discoloured area. It is also great for removing horrid sticky plaster stains too.

Salt is a brilliant tooth whitner and lots cheaper than fancy toothpastes.

Greasy hair and no time to wash it? Dust in a little cornflour or talc, brush out and your ready to go!

Do you need an extra hand when it comes to fastening on a bracelet? Tape one end to your wrist leaving yourself free to fasten it.

Pop your brow, lip and eyeliner pencils into the freezer for an hour or two before you sharpen them ...
For smoother nail varnish, make use of the fridge for a little while ... isn't that what they are for?

If you have problems with your blonde locks turning green after swimming, rub in some tomato juice before shampooing to neutralise the chlorine.

Need to brighten your diamonds? Pop them into a drop of gin ... can't think of a better use for it myself.

Broken your favourite lipstick? Use a candle to melt the ends then stick together again.

Quick fix to smooth flyaway hair when no hairspray is available is to use a small amount of hand lotion, rub into your palms and smooth on.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor - 1932 to 2011



Goodbye Dame Elizabeth

My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born,

 but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor  1932 - 2011

Today we lost a truly great lady. Dame Elizabeth was not only an incredibly beautiful woman and a great actress, she was also a supporter and champion of many charitable causes. She was one of the first stars to become involved with finding a cure for AID's. Her AIDS organization AMFAR raised $83 million in the twelve years following its creation in 1985. She was not only a great supporter of AMFAR she was also a very generous contributor, auctioning off the diamond and emerald engagement bought for her by Richard Burton.

She was also a fighter in her personal life having suffered terrible back pain all her life after falling off her horse whilst making one of her most famous films "National Velvet". So though I am sad that she is no longer with us, I am pleased that she is no longer suffering.

Much will be written about Elizabeth over the next few days, so I am going to talk about what she meant to me personally. I was never lucky enough to meet her and only knew her from her films, interviews and books. I have to admit though that I am one of thousands of little girls who having watched her in "National Velvet" dreamed of having my own pony.

I have many cherished memories of wet Sunday afternoons sitting in front of the TV watching her in "Little Women" when she played Amy March. I think that she so right for that role.

Of course for me her most memorable role has to be Cleopatra, who else could have played that role so well or so beautiful? Who can ever forget her tumbling out of the carpet at Caesar's feet or her triumphant entrance into Rome ... wonderful. She famously quoted about playing that role:

"I don't remember much about Cleopatra (1963). There were a lot of other things going on."

The main thing going on was her passionate affair with Richard Burton which scandalised everyone at the time as they were both married. The swinging sixties were a few years ahead at that point.

Thank you Elizabeth Rosamond Taylor for all the wonderful films you have left as your legacy and for gracing this sad world with your beauty.

The Secret of a Long, Happy Relationship

I am not about to impart some mysterious secret that has been hidden away from the world in dark, damp cave guarded by a four headed dragon. No, the secret to all happy relationships is to beware of four simple factors: Criticism, Defensiveness, Contempt and Stonewalling.

Those four are some of the most destructive behaviours that can occur within marriages or any relationship, and studies have proven that they can be very good indicators of whether a relationship will survive in the long term.

To ensure a happy relationship you both have to far less critical, much less defensive and you really have to avoid displays of contempt at all costs. Not only can contempt kill your relationship it can affect your immune system too, making you more prone to serious illness.

If you really feel the need to criticise your partner then try to soften the blow with some humour. Try taking a moment to imagine how you would want to be told, how you would feel being told whatever criticism, try to make it a constructive criticism.

Pretty, super thin Emma Roberts was in need of a helping hand as she struggled to walk in killer Louboutins. Help was at hand from a girlfriend who allowed her to hang on as they walked along.

Emma, neice of superstar actree Julia Roberts, teamed the sky high Louboutin black pumps with dark skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a beige Chanel jacket.

What Are Your Panties Saying?

You may not realise that there is language of panties, but yes they do say quite a lot about the woman wearing them. So if you want to know what your panties are saying to the world about you then read on.

Big Pants

If you are a big panties type of girl you are telling the world that you really don't give a F**k what the world thinks of you, as long as YOU are comfortable.

You have a great butt and you don't mind who knows it. You an extrovert and chances are you don't mind if people see you naked ... game for some skinny dipping after a drink or two!



French Knickers

The way french knickers hang loose around your buttocks allowing the air to circulate make them the closest thing to going commando without actually committing yourself. Sexy and breezy just like the girl who wears them.

No Pants

You're so damm hot you should come with a government health warning! Marilyn would have been proud of you ... she was well known for not wearing panties either and wore her clothes tight enough to leave no doubt.

Body Jewelry Heads South

Well, I was always told that a day without learning was a day wasted ... and today has certainly not been wasted. Today I learnt about Vajazzling, this trend, which exploded onto the world in 2010, had definitely passed me by. For those of you, who like me, had been passed by this trend, Vajazzling is all about decorating "down there" after removing your pubic hair.

Once only available in salons, where ladies had a full wax and then opted for some pretty crytsals in a pretty pattern or arranged to spell out something naughty and inviting. Now they are available to everyone via the number one online sex toy store Lovehoney .

Vajazzle kits are really simple to use, they are little sets of self -adhesive crystals that stick straight onto the skin. Of course you don't have to limit them to your most intimate areas, they also look great on any other part of your body too. So try them on your shoulder, ankle or upper arm.

Applied well your Vajazzle can last up to three days so both you and partner can enjoy your long lasting sparkle.

Hints on Seduction

As women in the twenty-first century, we are lucky enough to have thousands of years of subtle eroticism to draw upon that are tried and tested by such femme fatales as Cleopatra, Salome and Delilah. Or fictional ones such as Jessica Rabbit of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" fame, Salma Hayek in "From Dusk to Dawn" dancing with the snake ensnaring both George Cloony and Quentin Tarantinos characters. Not to mention the beautiful Kazakhstani bombshell Goga Ashkenazi, confidante to Prince Andrew through his latest troubles.-





So if you want to play spider to your guys fly and draw him into your web - boudoir then here are a few tips that never fail to let him know exactly what is on your mind.

♥  Dress to impress - yourself. There is nothing like feeling sexy to send out sexy vibes.

♥  Whisper something to him; it really doesn't matter what just the warmth of your breath on his ear, your perfume and your lips brushing his ear will send his pulse racing.

♥  Show him your new earrings: drawing his attention to your neck can be very alluring.

♥  Show off your feline side with cat like stretch as you prepare to leave, put your hands behind your neck, arch your back and push out your bosom a little. You can be sure that will have put sex firmly on his mind.
