7. Onions

Yes, we know onions make you cry, but did you know that the natural juices relieve toothache as well? As much as I love onions in my dinner, they’d be my last choice over the other remedies that you’re about to read about, but it will reduce the pain for a few hours. Cut a piece off and place it under the aching tooth or drain the juice into a bowl. Use a dropper to place it on the tooth that hurts.

6. Lime juice…

Lime juice contains a strong citrus acid that kills many germs. You can use it to clean or cleanse your body. If you crush the juice into a cup and place it in the dropper, you can use the juice as a pain reliever for your tooth. It will clean your tooth and get rid of all the unwanted germs that could cause infection. Although, you might want to avoid this if you have cold sores or even open wounds in your mouth. Mixing lime juice and baking soda can also help whiten teeth.

5. Garlic and rock salt

Garlic is not only great for treating acne but has always been a good remedy for relieving tooth pain and with a little bit of rock salt mixed, you can help get rid of the pain altogether. Crushing the garlic clove and adding rock salt, will make a perfect remedy. Works all the time for me!

Do you ever get random cravings? Mine has been potato recently. I just can't get enough of that stuff… and cheese popcorn! And when I’m trying to stick to a diet, these cravings are terrible! I was surprised to learn though that some cravings are more than just missing a food you haven't had for a while, though, and can be the sign that your body is missing something that it needs. Here are 7 cravings, and their hidden meanings…

1. Chocolate

Craving chocolate? Rather than just being the sign of a sweet tooth, this could be your body’s way of telling you that your mood has dropped. Chocolate contains feel-good hormones which will boost your mood, but only temporarily, meaning you'll need more later. Try boosting your mood by doing something you enjoy, such as walking, running, painting or indulging in a hobby instead.

2. Sex

If you suddenly can't get enough, it could be a sign that your hormones aren't following their normal cycle. Most women feel more in the mood for two weeks before their period, but hormonal pills can change this, and even make these feelings worse. Just remember that during those two weeks, you are much more fertile than usual, so be careful and use contraceptives! And if you aren't used to this and it continues for more than two cycles, it might be worth seeing your GP.

3. Salt

I suffer from this one badly. Craving anything salty? This is a sign that your stress levels have rocketed, but an unhealthy snack like a bag of crisps or chips won't actually stop the craving. You need the minerals from natural salt, so instead, reach for salted nuts, fruit or vegetables.

Technology is amazing. What cell phones can do these days is great, so much more than just making and taking calls! You can text, take photos, send videos, use GPS, listen to music, browse the web, check e-mail… the list goes on and on, depending on which phone you have. Are you looking to upgrade? Here are some of the coolest cell phones of 2010…

Being passionate about history, there are many periods that really interest me. If only I could pay them a visit …

1. The Tudor Court in the 1530s

Has anyone seen 'The Tudors'? Not entirely historically accurate, but gives a good idea of one of the most colorful eras in English history. I would love to visit during the heyday of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife – before she and her head parted company.

2. The 1920s

The 1920s
The Jazz Age, silent movies, cool cars and fab fashions. Plus I'd look great in a flapper dress, being somewhat on the slim side.

3. The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire
Smart people, the Romans. Invented straight roads, central heating, and had lots of interesting gods. A kind of early version of the European Union.

1. Go Maxi

It seems that maxi skirts are becoming more and more popular these days. Here is Molly Sims showing us how to wear a maxi skirt in black.

2. Go Layered

The blue layered skirt with tiny dot prints (first photo) is just so cute! I cannot resist polka dots AND layered skirts so this is just too good to pass up.

3. Go Fringe

The color is lovely. I think someone on the slim side will be able to pull this skirt off rather nicely. What do you think? Will you rock this?

4. Go Vintage

Doesn’t Karla look chic in her full vintage taffeta skirt? And it’s from Paris. Oh, the many lovely stories this skirt must have.

5. Go Safari

And cheap! Erika found us a cheaper alternative to a zebra-print pencil skirt by Just Cavalli. If you have $390 to spare, you can go crazy on the expensive piece, of course. If you don’t, stick to the cheaper The Limited choice.

If you’ve ever felt the need to eat like a horse because you skipped lunch or dinner the other night – watch out. This can easily result to a binge episode, which will lead you to gain back all those excess pounds that you’ve been working so hard to keep off.
Here are some quick fixes – foods which will fill you up real fast – so that you can resist the lure of turning into a Mrs. Cookie Monster.

Go for instant oatmeal bars which do not just taste great but are also power-packed with protein, fibers and whole grains.

Instead of canned fruit juice, go for the real thing. A few slices of pineapple will fill you up more than one of those canned fruit juice varieties.

Eat four or more light, mini-meals throughout the day, rather than three full, heavy meals.

Start your meal with one cup of soup so that you’ll feel fuller, sooner.

Steer clear of temptation. When going to the break room, avert your eyes or hold your breath to steer clear of the sight and smell of that just-baked muffin!

The thong is officially dead. Sexy panties are much more comfortable, and much more hygienic, and studies are now showing that men find them much more attractive, too. I've never really minded my thongs, there are some gorgeous designs available and I've never really found any panties I've loved. I have now, though, the underwear market has had a huge revamp, and I can't resist! Here are my top ten pairs of sexy panties to wear instead of your thong…

1. Elle Macpherson Intimates Lace Notes Briefs

Elle Macpherson Intimates Lace Notes Briefs
Price: $40 at asos.com
Okay, so these aren't the cheapest, but they are GREAT. They solve all the problems the thong was great for, with no visible panty line, and no bright colour to show through light coloured trousers. But, they are also amazingly comfortable, and really flattering… they made my legs look much longer, and my boyfriend loved them.

2. Calvin Klein 'Cotton X' Logo Waistband Cheeky Shorts

Calvin Klein 'Cotton X' Logo Waistband Cheeky Shorts
Price: $32 at asos.com
I love these shorts. The styling makes them warm and snug, and perfect for days when you want full coverage, but they are also sexy and so, so soft. Forget period pants, with gorgeous shorts such as these, you'll never need an ugly pair again. There is also a great matching padded bra, and they come in white too.

3. B'Tempt'D "All Dolled Up" Satin Briefs

B'Tempt'D
Price: $21 at asos.com
These briefs are divine. I love the colour, which is a deep yet light purple which reminds me of expensive jewels and princesses, and the touch of black lace adds elegance and sexiness. It's the unique shape that I love most, though, which makes them sit across your hips. They are so comfortable, and you'll feel like a princess! The matching bra is dead cute too — it’s a must have set!
