Designer Babies

Sure, we all want our babies to look as beautiful as the movie stars, and now, California Cryobank makes that possible.  A sperm bank in California is now offering designer baby batter. You can select sperm donors from various celebrities look-a-likes. 

Scott Brown of Cryobank told KTLA, “The number one client question we get is: `Who does this donor look like?’ We decided this would be a great way to give thorough and consistent answers. Clients love it. Look-a-Likes has only been available for a week and our Web site traffic is up 50 percent.”

Think designer baby batter is for you? 

Peppers On Your Hands

Allow me to save your hands from excruciating pain. Never, ever, ever chop hot peppers without rubber gloves on.  I made the most beautifully delicious fresh Pico de Gallo from my garden tonight.  It was only three peppers….I figured why not?  Pulling the seeds from my Garden Salsa Peppers with my fingers seemed fine…at first.  But as time went on, my hands started to burn from the caspian (the component that brings the heat) in the peppers. 

If you’ve already committed the crime, try hand sanitizer with a high alcohol content.  Dawn dishwashing liquid also helps.  Wash hands over and over.  Avoid contact with any other part of your body….or your husband’s body! 

Style Icon Christie Brinkley

Besides being America’s sweetheart, Christie Brinkley is a style icon.  Christie works the Hamptons look with such amazing ease.  Her style is always tailored, always classic, always appropriate, and of course, always gorgeous! 

To steal Christie’s look, lean toward the preppy side, no bright colors, choose classic timeless pieces, like a great pencil skirt or a beautiful Bolero hat, stick with monotones, and keep jewelry to a minimum.  Love that Hampton’s look!

What Men Really Want

When TotalBeauty.com asked 200 men, ages 20-30, what body part first they notice first on a woman, the results weren’t overwhelmingly surprising. 

Breasts garnered the largest feed back with 34 percent of the vote.  Butts came in close with 30  percent of the vote.  Legs were close behind with 18 percent of the vote, and stomachs also garnered some interest with 10 percent.

On The Internet At Work?

Feeling guilty for sneaking on the Internet while at work?  Tell your boss about this new study.  The University of Melbourne’s study showed that people who surf the Web at work have a better concentration level, and are 9% more productive than those who don’t.  Apparently, the key is to keep it short .  Evidently, quick Internet use offers the most benefit.  Start here….follow us on Facebook and Twitter.   

Facial Toner

Chamomile tea, brewed and cooled, is a perfect toner for normal to dry skin.  It closes the pores, and makes skin look fresher.  Brewed and cooled Lavender tea is great for sensitive skin and Peppermint or Spearmint tea works best for oily complexions. 

Splash over face after using a mild cleanser, followed by a moisturizer for your skin type. 

Hostess Gifts

Tired of taking the same old bottle of wine when you and friends get together on the weekends?  Mix it up and take a basket of muffins.  Muffins are always a hit.  Every.  Single.  Time.  Muffins are quick and easy to make when you get home from work on Friday, and will be amazingly delicious when your friends are nibbling on them that night.  One caveat…make plenty.  Make at least 3 to 4 muffins per person.  Trust my experience on this one. 

Quote: Keeping It Hot

“I’ve found that the best ways to strengthen and sustain your relationship are to respect each other at all times, treat your partner the way that you want to be treated, and take time out for you relationship by planning moments where you and your partner can be alone with each other, and yes, this does require planning.  It’s really that simple.”  Lisa Rinna on the key to a successful relationship.
