Animal graphics are everywhere right now, but pulling out your leopard print coat won't be good enough…This time, the catwalks are featuring detailed pictures of animals, with tigers being a particular favorite! I can't wait to wear this trend, and here are my top ten ways to wear it…


1. Numph Tiger Oversize Tee


Price: $54 at asos.com
One of my favorite trends is teaming a relatively plain tee shirt such as this one, but featuring a gorgeous animal image, with a black mini skirt and high heels. It's a look which is effortless to put together, but mixes casual and formal so well you can wear it anywhere! It'll be huge this Summer.

2. Mango Plait Back Tiger Print Tee


Price: $42 at asos.com
I love this style of tee shirt, which flatters every body shape and always makes me feel gorgeous! This one is right on trend, teaming a gorgeous print of a tiger on the front with a plaited back, which fits right in with the fringe trend! The fit of the shirt means it doesn't need a belt, and looks great with leggings or skinny jeans and heels.

3. Asos Tiger Print Vest


Price: $37 at asos.com
Tigers are huge, and this vest is the perfect way to bring the look into your wardrobe without spending too much money. It's easy to dress up with a mini skirt, or a monochrome look, but looks just as great teamed with jeans and trainers for a casual look!

If you have oily skin, chances are, you've experimented with hundreds of different products, only to find that some of them are too harsh, and make your skin feel too dry, or are too gentle, and don't control the oil. I can help! Here's a list of my favorite skin care products for people with oily skin.


1. Aveda Botanical Kinetics Purifying Gel Cleanser


Price: $20.00 at aveda.com
This cleanser is strong enough to dissolve excess oil, but gentle enough to use every day. Enriched with natural botanicals like chamomile, lavender, rosemary, and Vitamin E.

2. Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion


Price: $32.00 at aveda.com
Just because you have oily skin doesn't mean you should strip away all of the moisture. Use this moisturizer after the gel cleanser for soft, supple, balanced skin.

3. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask


Price: $12.00 at thebodyshop-usa.com
If you have oily skin and blemishes, combat them both with this mask. It contains lemon tree and tea tree oils to fight nasty break-outs, and Tamanu oil to soothe irritated skin.

We've all heard them, laughed at them, and then ignored the guy who tried them. Why is it that some guys seem to think they'll work? Pick-up lines are just ridiculous, but it's fun to compare them. Here are my favorites:


1. Do you have any Band-Aids? Because I skinned my knees falling for you.

Sweet but corny. I can see this coming from a guy who really thought you were pretty, delivered with a wide, friendly smile. Next step? He'll introduce himself and ask your name.

2. Do you work for UPS? Because I think I saw you checking out my package.

Please. As if you were checking out his package. Give him your most scathing look and turn away. Maybe he'll have better luck with that lame line on a girl who's had a little more to drink.

3. I forgot my phone number. Can I have yours?

Kind of clever. The success in this line depends on the delivery. I might fall for it, if he was particularly cute or funny.

4. Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the cash?

Not amusing! It's insulting, implying that you could be bought for the price of a well drink. Please. Move on.

While sending a card and sweet whispers in the ear are always welcome and wanted, you can let your honey know how much you love him in more creative ways that will make him respond right away! Are you looking for fun ways to express your passion? Below are some fun ideas to re-ignite those sparks!

1. Make a really large card

Make a huge card out of a cardboard box. Go really big with a refrigerator box. Color it, paint it, glue pictures to it. Cut the back out. Set it by the front door and when he comes home, slip inside the box as he is unlocking the door. Don’t forget to put on your sexiest lingerie!

2. Turn off the TV

Put a note on the TV screen that says, "Turn me on tonight!" When posed with the choice of the screen, or you, his decision will not be hard to make!

3. Warm him up

Warm his towel in the dryer while he is in the shower. This is such a small gesture, but so thoughtful! Guaranteed to warm him up! Better still, run a bath for him and join him!

It's always a good idea to have a big bin stuffed with crafting supplies for rainy days or any day your kids complain that they're bored. I keep a plastic bin on a shelf in the closet with all kinds of recycled items, like empty paper towel rolls and buttons, along with stuff we've bought so my little one always has something to keep her occupied. Not sure what to buy for your kid's craft bin? Here are some tried-and-true suggestions…

1. Tiny Acrylic Pom-poms


Price: $3.99 at orientaltrading.com
Stick them on paper plates, foam shapes, clothespins, and just about every other craft project your children will ever do! They're small, only ¼ to ½ inch each, in loads of bright colors, and even some black! This bag contains 500 little puffballs, which ought to be enough to keep your little ones in business for at least a few weeks. Maybe, you could join your kid for some added fun!

2. Flower Jewels


Price: $3.99 at orientaltrading.com
A tiny bit of glue on the back, and these will add a little spring-time sparkle to any crafting project! Make photo frames, hair clips, and more. This bag contains 150 flowers in various sizes and colors, with one tin rhinestone in the middle, and five pretty flower petals.

3. Self-Adhesive Jewels


Price: $7.99 at orientaltrading.com
So convenient! You don't have to spend any time of effort applying glue, or cleaning it up later — these sparkly little gems are self-adhesive! Stick on anything for an extra gleam, like sunglasses, gift bags, notebooks… the possibilities are endless! Each bag contains squares, hearts, stars, circles, and ovals in various sizes and colors.

Do you enjoy wearing eyeshadow? I have a large collection of eyeshadows myself because I believe that just like fabulous shoes, a girl can never have enough eyeshadow. And here’s my pick for the 10 best eyeshadows for this summer…

10. Tarte Flower Child Natural Eyeshadow Palette


Price: $22.00 at sephora.com
What is this? It is a reusable and refillable floral eyeshadow palette, that creates a wide range of eye looks. These looks can range from smoky to soft. They are just right for the summer! When I want to express my love, inner peace and happiness, I let my eyes do the job for me. This eyeshadow makes it easy!

9. Fard Lumiere Aquaresistant Eye Shadow


Price: $30.00 at sephora.com
I don't know about you, but I like water-resistant makeup. Sometimes, even though a product says it's water resistant, I have found that water does affect it. This one on the other hand is different. If you want to dress those eyelids in long lasting color, then go ahead and indulge.

8. Urban Decay Cream Shadow


Price: $17.00 at sephora.com
This brings out the sex appeal of the 70’s era. Each shimmering shade has been whipped to perfection. It dries to a weightless beauty of color. It will not fade, crease or hide in those fine lines. It features silicone technology, unlike most other cream based eyeshadow. This will allow you to blend, smudge and correct. This would look great at a party or maybe even your prom!

I don’t collect magazines but I do enjoy thumbing through them when I’m at the airport or waiting at the doctor’s office. However, I know some of you set aside a part of your monthly salary for these glossies so I figured I’d show you some covers for June that you might enjoy.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo & Didier Drogba for Vanity Fair

1
Two shirtless athletes on the cover of Vanity Fair. Hot dang, look at those abs! While I do not like seeing photos of men in small underwear, I admit that this cover is not so bad. I mean, I will not buy this issue but it’s nice to see men on covers once in a while, yes?

2. Pink for Cosmopolitan

2
Watch out, Pink will call you names if you make her angry. Well, she would have if you made her angry before her husband made her realize that calling names is not nice. She reveals: "I'm so dramatic…and in the past, I've been really mean. Carey sat me down one day when we were fighting and said, 'Baby, when you call me names, it hurts my feelings. Please try to stop." And I was like 'Wow, thank you for telling me how you feel.' Now I fight fair."

3. Sarah Jessica Parker for Marie Claire

3
You will notice that Demi Moore wore a similar dress for her W cover last December. Both are Balmain and both are gorgeous. Sarah Jessica (and the other girls of SATC) admit that working has not always been smooth sailing but the level of b*tchiness is not exactly what has been hyped by the media. Interesting.

It's “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” all over again.
When we talk about feelings, why is it that men seem to have a hard time expressing themselves as compared to women? Is it because in a relationship, women have a greater emotional investment than men?

Take the big "I love you" declaration as an example. For men, saying these three little words require a huge effort – but the urge comes quite easily for most women.
Similarly, in a fight, women like to dissect the emotional reasons behind the issues. For men? They want to skip the "Let's talk" part and proceed ASAP to kissing and making up.
In the tradition of our top lists, here are the top 3 secrets behind the silence of the men =)
