Okay, pictures of celebrities pumping gas is one thing, but these Mena Suvari pictures have definitely got that extra something. Or should I say Mena Suvari has that extra something... That extra something being her ass, in case you weren't following.
But the combination of that outfit, the way she's handling that gas pump, and that Badonkadonk is definitely putting naughty thoughts in my head. Actually, I think those are the same thoughts her boyfriend ...
Alright, I didn't really want to post these Teri Hatcher bikini pictures, what with her being super gross and all, but while I may be feeling nauseaus at the mere sight of Teri Hatcher in a bikini, I realise that some of you sick readers out there actually think she looks good. And this is a great opportunity for me to make fun of her.
But of all the things I hate about Teri Hatcher, her Diva ...
John Frieda . Starlit Waves
Wave Enhancing Spray
Have you ever stood in front of a product aisle, and literally wished a million wishes upon a certain product? As in chanting, while holding product in question: ‘please work, please work, please work.’ Well, John Frieda’s latest product did that to me.
You see, my hair is now becoming what I think it should be. Too short bangs (thanks to my impatient hands that were holding a pair of scissors at the time) are now grown out to a manageable “looks good for now” length. Hair color that didn’t take last time is now back to my dark chocolate brown staple (Revlon’s High Dimension Color in SemiSweet..the most beautiful chestnutty brown ever.. though box says in 10 minutes, for me it’s more like 20, but I don’t care.) And I’m ready to make my flowing locks look, you know, flowing.
Enter, John Frieda’s Starlit Waves. My hair is semi wavy from the ear down… don’t ask me why. But it does give me the option to make it all straight (which I rarely do because of time) or all wavy/curly when I’m short on time and patience but want to look somewhat like I know what I’m doing in the ‘looking good’ department. Aussie Products used to have this wave enhancing spray that was to die for, called Volume. Then along came a product redesign and I can no longer find it. That stuff was amazing. Made curls look perfect, super shiny and lasted for days. All I had to do was spray on semi wet hair, fall asleep and wake up all Rapunzel like. It was that simple. But no longer…
So here I am with Starlit Waves, praying, whispering, chanting, ‘please work, please work, please work.’ Because when the ad says “Dramatic shine. Lustrous Waves”, well, a girl can hope can’t she? And with their amazing shampoo and conditioners, along with just about every other product they have being a huge hit, well, I expect nothing less.
Directions state: Shake well, on damp hair, spray product evenly throughout hair. Work product into hair, scrunching to boost the wave. Air dry or blow dry with diffuser. On already dried hair, apply a light mist.
“Please work, please work, please work.”
I first apply to dry hair. And right off the bat, this stuff smells great. Very beachy, summery. Almost like suntan lotion or oil. And yes, the waves, upon scrunching are coming through. And there’s no crispy, crunchy feel in sight. So far, I’m loving it. Hair feels, looks a little thicker, but without the stiffness or sticky feel.
Next, I apply to damp hair after washing. And I go to sleep with Rapunzel in my dreams. The next morning, I wake up with beautiful soft waves.
It does work.

Elderflower spritzers served in test tubes
Having been to London many times for vacation, I couldn’t help but notice things were a bit different this time around. Sure, the recent foodie focus of London has been documented ad nauseum, and restaurants like St John, Moro and Fifteen and celebrity chefs are all the rage, but there were subtle differences I noticed too.
I’ve never really thought of England as the vanguard of health food, but everywhere I went I saw low-fat, low-sugar, sugar-free, organic and plenty of fresh food packaged in convenient ways. Convenience seems to be balanced with health. Chains like Pret A Manger and Wagamama highlight nutritional information associated with their offerings and I was impressed with the food at both places. In addition to healthier food, I saw healthier packaging and wooden utensils, healthier for the environment.
Taste. Yes, a focus on taste is clearly a priority! The upscale market Waitrose announced they were going to start selling “uglies” not THE ugly fruit, but ugly-looking fruits and vegetables that still taste delicious and are perfectly suited to making preserves. Waitrose also is involved in local sourcing and has a team of buyers that seek out local and regional sources of the best quality food that is not often found in other supermarkets. The crowds at the Borough Market also signal a heightened enthusiasm for great-tasting fresh food.
Another sign of the foodie revolution? The Lulu’s post.
Whenever people ask me where to eat in New York I always rave about the Bread Bar at Tabla. I love the concept and the execution, sophisticated Indian food made fresh with the best ingredients available. Indian food is nothing new in London but whether Michelin starred or simply innovative versions of street food, there is a lot more to Indian cuisine than takeaway curry in London these days. I relished tastes from the kitchens of Imli and Cinnamon Club at the Taste of London. I wish I could have tried even more of these restaurants.
I couldn’t believe how popular Elderflower was, from cordials to soft drinks it seemed to show up everywhere. On my return I discovered Delicious Days had posted about it too. I may have thought “aromatherapy water” was silly when I saw it at the Fancy Food Show in January, but the Brits seem to be taking this kind of thing seriously!
