Posted: 30 Jun 2010 11:54 AM PDT 1. High Drama Curls A La Blake LivelyPhoto Credit: psychic_heart Who doesn't love Blake's great curls? Whether they are loose and casual, like above, or dressed up for a night out, they always look great, and so easy to maintain! The key things in this look are the shine, the fullness and the bounce, so your hair needs to be healthy. Make sure you use a heat spray before curlers or straighteners, and use a paddle brush to lift hair at the roots and inject volume. If you use a curler, comb them afterwards, to give them a more carefree and retro look then ringlets. 2. Beachy Waves A La Mary Kate OlsonPhoto Credit: cokate I love Mary Kates hair. It's the perfect look for Summer, mixing sexy waves with a carefree, Surfers edge, and it makes whatever she is wearing look kitsch, effortless and cool. Let your hair dry naturally after washing, and spray it with a texturising spray. Then scrunch the ends of your hair, and let it dry into waves. Need a little more oomph? Use some curling irons, and alternate the curls. 3. Light and Bright Blonde A La Gwyneth PaltrowPhoto Credit: cokate Gwyneth's light blonde looks great, and really illuminates her face! Achieve the same look by asking your stylist to apply light streaks of a flattering colour through your hair. The difference should be minimal enough to look natural, and the warmer colour will make your face appear more radiant, without losing the blonde colour. Add an edgy effect by starting highlights a few centimetres down the hair. |

Served on the terrace, you can watch life go past as you enjoy a cream tea, and go for a wander up the harbour afterwards. And if you fancy staying for tea, they have a great selection of lobster, crab and fish dishes, from locally caught produce! 2. Wish Tower Cafe, East SussexThis really is a brilliant cafe. With views over the ocean, the cafe is the perfect place to watch the water while enjoying some very old school treatment. The tea is brewed in stainless steel teapots, and there are cream buns and ice sponges freshly cooked too. There's an amazing Victorian pier to look at afterwards, too. Dreamy! 3. Ocean Bay, DorsetThis is a great cafe if you want a contemporary afternoon tea. It has an indigo and white decor, which looks great against the Ocean backdrop, and you can enjoy a Dorset cream tea while sitting on the terrace. Want something a little different? They've got cocktails and a modern menu, too, full of local produce and perfect for a light meal. You can even sail here, as there are eight moorings outside…you'll forget about time here, it's an amazing restaurant! |

Beware The 'Friend'Photo Credit: anhsphoto Whether it's malicious or accidental, everyone has those friends who order too much food, insist on sharing the most calorie stuffed desert and won't let you order the healthy option…and they aren't good for your waistline. Your options? Either toughen up, and completely resist the urge to change your menu choice or steal her food, or simply avoid eating with them. 2. Don't MultitaskPhoto Credit: ASurroca Schedule time to eat into your diary, and don't multitask. If you are reading the paper or watching TV as you eat, its far too easy to mindlessly eat long after you are full. If you give food your full attention, you'll realize when you aren't hungry anymore, and won't consume unnecessary calories. You'll also enjoy your food much more! 3. Power Panties!Photo Credit: helgasms! Keep your underwear draw stuffed full of your favourite type of pants, and wear them everyday! If you are keeping the underwear that makes you feel good for special occasions, you are seriously missing out. Wearing the right underwear will make you feel gorgeous, and you'll walk gorgeous. Which makes people notice how gorgeous you are. Get my drift? |

Posted: 30 Jun 2010 10:58 AM PDT toned stomach like Gisele? Well, there isn't a trick exercise, or a secret tablet, but there are foods that will help you to pull off a flatter stomach. Interested? Here are eight foods you should definitely be adding to your grocery shopping list… Who wouldn't want a flat, 1. AsparagusPhoto Credit: hoveringdog Asparagus is a natural diuretic, which means it will help you to shed additional water weight, leaving you with a much skinnier stomach! It's also an aphrodisiac, so including it into your meals could help you to get some extra sexy exercise, too! 2. BlueberriesPhoto Credit: eatzycath Blueberries have always been known to be a superfruit, but their true powers are only just being explored. They've been recently revealed to fight stomach fat, and leave you much svelter. They aren't in season for long, but even frozen fruits have the same effect. Blueberry, anyone? 3. Citrus FruitsPhoto Credit: stublog Citrus fruits have been proven to aid digestion, which will stop you from bloating. Try adding lemon slices to hot water for a refreshing drink, adding lemon and limes to salads and snacking on oranges. You'll boost your fruit intake and help your body to digest. Getting healthier and looking skinnier?! Yes please! |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 10:14 AM PDT 1. Pulling Your Feet in Towards YouPhoto Credit: szeing If you (or your friend) cross your foot behind your ankle and draw your feet in towards your body, you may be saying, "Stay away from me." If you are in an uncomfortable situation, your body will want to flee. Why not run with it? 2. Pointing Your Feet Towards HimPhoto Credit: Dyxie While you are talking to him, pointing your feet forward is saying, "I support you, I am being attentive, and I am here for you." Consciously, you are saying you are truly concerned with his conversation and you are glad to be with him. 3. Mimicking Each OtherPhoto Credit: Arthur Chahini If you copy every movement she makes, you are very comfortable with your friend! Does she touch her chin with her knuckles, just like you? Then you two are exhibiting how close your friendship really is! |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 10:08 AM PDT 1. All babies need lovePhoto Credit: joyrex You may think this is obvious, but it is most important. You baby needs your love and affection. Don't ever assume they "just know" because babies should feel your love with hugs, kisses, pats, and more hugs. Tell them often how much you love them. Babies need love. They need to fell it and they need to hear it. 2. It's all about mePhoto Credit: joyrex At this young age, toddlers know only one thing and it's me. It really is all about them. They are selfish and they don't care who knows it! It is your job as a parent to know they are only doing what comes naturally. Then, it is important for you to teach how to share, how to think of others, and how to extend themselves beyond their little world. It takes time, but it will eventually happen! 3. They need sleepPhoto Credit: joyrex Toddlers need more sleep than any other age group! They generally need about 11 hours per night. When a baby misses sleep, he will be one of two different extremes: either he will be excessively wild, or he will be cranky and mean. Make sure your little one gets plenty of rest. You will both feel better. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 09:16 AM PDT 10. Braided Tiffany SandalsPrice: $17.99 at gap.com These are Tiffany Sandals by Bucco Capensis. They have a braided accent down the front with intertwined chain décor, which I think is really cute. The patent style straps have a buckle closure. They are a flat sole, which I'm not a big fan of flat soles, but nonetheless, they are still cute. 9. Butter Floral Slingback Thong SandalPrice: $198.00 at garnethill.com As I said, I'm not a big fan of flat sandals, but I like these! I am really attracted to the red color and I really dig the flower that is on the top of them. Pair this off with a red beach dress and you will look cute! 8. Charlotte Ronson Eleanor Braided Straw and Leather SandalsPrice: $81.60 at emoda.com Since I am not a fan of flat shoes, I had to give some heels in this blog! I think these are really cute shoes. It features light brown straw wedge heel with a polished brass buckle. They have a tan rope band that connects the two sections and brown leather, which completes the look. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 08:46 AM PDT 1. Doggy Flight AttendantPhoto Credit: @mands Have you heard of Pet Airways? Neither had I until a friend flew her dog over recently, and after exploring their website for a while, I found a vacancy for a Doggy Flight Attendant. It's just like a human flight attendant position, but catering for cuties with four legs and a tail, rather then grumpy, loud and often drunk humans. The catch? There isn't one. Free flights around the world, and you have time to do some shopping before accompanying more pets back. What a job. 2. Speed DecoratorPhoto Credit: PicassoZ Ever noticed that that empty house was horrid for a while, with peeling paint and a broken gate, and seemed to have an overnight makeover the minute it hit the market? Houses showing wear and tear don't sell too fast, so speed decorators give them a stylish new look in record timing, to make them easier to sell on. 3. Professional Social NetworkerPhoto Credit: sitmonkeysupreme Whether its blogging about a new product or spreading the news about a new company, professional networkers use their online networking skills to benefit companies, and get paid handsomely for it. So if you are constantly uploading pictures, adding new friends, tweeting and blogging, this could be the job for you! |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 08:02 AM PDT 7. Danny OsmondPhoto Credit: ori0nis At six years of age, he remembered the beginning symptoms of what would later develop into SAD. While he was acting in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," his stage friend was overwhelming. No longer able to cop on his own, he found help and received both therapy and medication. He has openly spoke about this in his autobiography along with his interviews. 6. Paula DeenPhoto Credit: MnMCarta This is a famous chef. She is famous for cooking those Southern meals on the Food Network. She has battled agoraphobia, which is the fear of going in a crowded area, for over twenty years. Her fear was so bad that even going to the supermarket to get ingredients was hard. 5. Jessica AlbaPhoto Credit: bitterroses Now, what problems could Jessica Alba have on her case? Well, she has the same thing I have! She has OCD, which is an anxiety disorder that gives one the need to repeat certain things, such as hair-combing or hand-washing. It peaked on her 25th birthday, when she got stressed over the two hundred balloons her boyfriend put in the hotel room to surprise her. Don't worry Jessica, not only do I have this problem as well, but about 2.2 million adults in the United States has some type of OCD. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:52 AM PDT 7. Jeffrey Campbell BootsPrice: $285.00 at singer22.com I like these boots, because they are not low cut. They are black, but they are available in three different colors. Jeffrey Campbell is well known for making boots, so why not have a pair? 6. Skechers Women’s Shape-Ups Pull Over Fur Lined BootPrice: $119.00 at dsw.com These are cute, don't you think? They are lined with fur and have that tough look to them. All at the same time, with these boots, you can get in shape, stay warm and look good! You do not have to sacrifice anything with these. 5. Emonia Red Plaid Lace-Up Wedge BootsPrice: $24.98 at hottopic.com I am a pretty big fan of plaid, even if I do not have much plaid in my closet. I think these boots would go great with a red plaid skirt. These boots tie up in the front, which gives a neat look to them. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:11 AM PDT 1. Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer AleThis is one of my favorite summer beers, sweet and light and so tasty! Add a slice of orange for extra sweetness and flavor. You'll love the hint of honey and the fruitiness. This is a true small-batch ale, only available May through August, so enjoy it while you can! If you miss the Honey Moon, then try the Blue Moon, which is a basic Belgian white. 2. Corona ExtraTheir TV and magazine commercials ought to give you the idea that Corona is a great summer beer! Add a squirt and a slice of lime, and you've got the perfect beer for summer cook-outs, BBQs, and parties. Buy enough for everyone, and you'll be the hero! 3. Sierra Nevada Pale AleIf you're looking for a somewhat hoppy pale ale to pair with spicy Mexican or Cajun food, the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is just right for you! It's crisp and bold, and you can definitely taste the hops! |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 06:00 AM PDT 13. Use make-up that is greasy or oily.You need to avoid using oily, greasy makeup. Why? Because it is a known fact that it will clog those pores. Bad makeup is responsible for the development of acne, so the next time you are looking for new makeup, be sure to choose some that will not clog those pores! This is definitely one of those things to not do with your pimple. Photo Credit: x_m_n_m_x 12. Neglect the skin.You should wash your face once in the morning and once during the evening. If you have oily face, then you have to wash your face at least two times a day.11. Using too much make up.Using excessive make up will only make that face worse. I am sure you will look good even if you do not have all of that make up on your face. Photo Credit: mickiky |

Pottery Barn Seahorse Jacquard Bath TowelsPrice: $9.00 – $39.00 at potterybarn.com Most animal prints are earth-tones, drabs, dull… but these sea animals prints are anything but! I love the sandy brown and delicate blue. Mix and match with other ocean-tones and bit of coral to complete change your bathroom over! 2. Crate & Barrel Cameroon Rectangular PillowPrice: $59.95 at crateandbarrel.com While this pillow is obviously inspired by animal-print, it's not specific to one animal, so it's perfect for tying a room full of prints and textures together! I love the lush, rich velvet and the gorgeous earth colors… 3. Pier 1 Beaded Giraffe PillowPrice: $19.88 at pier1.com Giraffe print is so pretty, and so hard to find! But this pillow makes up for that will loads of beaded, glittery opulence. Add to any room for an instant pop of color and texture. I'd add this to any neutral-tone room with an ikat or safari tone. Don't like giraffe prints? No worries! This same pillow is available in zebra print, too… |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 04:43 AM PDT 1. Water PlayWhatever age your children are, they will love playing with water! Younger children will enjoy learning about water and its qualities, so something as simple as seeing what floats and what doesn't can provide hours of entertainment. Older children will love to compete in a water fight, or take water play to a higher level. To keep everyone happy, try taking some remote controlled boats to float on a pond or in a bowl in your garden. Race to the other side!2. GardeningInvest in some spades, trowels and seeds, and let your children plant some vegetables. Whether you grow carrots, potatoes or anything else, your children will be learning about how things grow, and you can even plan activities around watching the plants grow, photographing daily progress, and writing a gardening diary. Your children might even eat what they grew!3. RestaurantGrab a small plastic table and chairs, and some plastic bowls and cutlery. Then let your kids make mud pies, using leaves, petals and mud to create masterpieces. Take it in turns to be served your meal, and get your hands dirty! It's great fun, and good for motor development too. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 04:41 AM PDT 1. “How old do you think I am?”Oh dear. The other person just won't know what to say. It's often very difficult to guess, so don't put them in that position.2. “Don't you want a boyfriend?”Look, what's wrong with being single? Or maybe I'm heartbroken from a failed relationship and don't want to think about dating again. Or gay. Photo Credit: scorpion 13 Trying to catch up 3. “Why don't you have kids?”Or its variant – “when are you going to start a family?” Maybe the person has fertility problems, or is just plain disinterested in the idea. Either way, it's their business. Photo Credit: Shana Rae {Florabella Collection} |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 03:34 AM PDT 1. In HeatYour female kitten starts to jump on you and miaow loud enough to wake the dead. She is in heat. Before she drives you mad, get her to the vet, as the time to sterilize her has come.2. HygieneYour cat starts to pee outside the litter tray. Usually, this is for one of two reasons. Either the cat is being territorial, or is telling you “Stop being lazy and clean that tray out, would you want to park your butt in that?” Photo Credit: mek22 3. Marking YouThe cat rubs around your legs when you come home. Aaah, how sweet, you think. Actually, you are being marked as the cat’s possession. Know your place. Photo Credit: ooppssyy |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 03:22 AM PDT 10. Vacation!Photo Credit: ¡arturii! We all love to take a vacation, because for one, it makes you happy to get away from everyday life. You can take a vacation in the wild or near a beach. We usually go to a Florida beach resort off of Saint Augustine or Daytona. If you don’t have beaches, you should try a cabin or taking a trip overseas. This will definitely put a smile on your face. However, when you look at your bank balance afterwards, you might frown. 9. Spending time with your spousePhoto Credit: blende This is my favorite! What makes you the happiest? Your husband right? Well, we hope anyway. If you spend some quality time with your husband, you will definitely feel happier. You can watch a movie or enjoy a peaceful dinner at home while you two talk or go shopping together! 8. Eating out!Photo Credit: billandcathy Every Friday we go to a fancy restaurant and enjoy spending time with our child over a fancy dinner. It helps us bond and instantly cheers me up! |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 03:06 AM PDT 1. Tell them every chance you getPhoto Credit: PJ Taylor Photo They might not like it during their pre-teen years, but try including a hand-written love note in their lunch once in a while. It doesn't have to be lengthy or elaborate, just a small note that says "I love you, sweetie, and I hope you have a great day." Every time I do this for my littlest one, she proudly reads it to the rest of her kindergarten lunch table… 2. Let them "help" around the housePhoto Credit: Rebecca812 From a young age, most kids want to help with the housework or cooking. Usually, we tend to say no because it's so much faster just to do it ourselves. But if you let them help you, not only will they be learning housekeeping and cooking skills they'll need as adults, they'll get to "impress" you with how well they can make their bed, or fold the socks. 3. Say "no"Photo Credit: hkvam Children need limits. They need to hear you say "no" once in a while, and for you to stick to your word. If you say "no," make sure you keep to that "no." Be reasonable, but there will be times you can't say "yes," and your children will know you love them more than the parents who take the path of least resistance and say "yes" to everything. |
Posted: 30 Jun 2010 03:00 AM PDT 1. Stand UpPhoto Credit: nikki.jane Sitting down burns around 65 calories an hour, but standing up burns an extra 36 calories per minute! Try to do as much of your job standing as you can. Walk things over to your bosses desk, do filing, and visit the shredder. You'll look more dedicated and organized, and be burning calories too! 2. Squeeze In The Weight LossPhoto Credit: нαмѕαт 7σß ♥ While you are working, do squeezes. You can work your bum and stomach this way, and stretch your legs, and as well as becoming much more toned, you'll burn more calories too. Which means you'll give your metabolism a kick start! Do repetitions of eight, and spread your sets out across the day for maximum impact. 3. Schedule SnackingPhoto Credit: Leo Reynolds Schedule your snack times into the day. While eating Dairy Milk sat at your desk might feel more productive, it's actually not. You'll eat more then you need because you are not concentrating, and you will mindlessly gain calories. Schedule five minutes in the morning and afternoon, and walk around a little. Go get a coffee, or leave your snack elsewhere, and enjoy your food. Concentrate on eating it so you stop when you are full, and the exercise will help you to begin to burn off the snack. Perfect! |
