Best Ad #1 from Woman

''Came home from spending Christmas with my parents to find these left under my tree from my now ex-boyfriend, he also left his house key. 7 unwanted, unopened Christmas presents. I want nothing to do with him or what he has to say or give me. More than likely the usual jewelry, perfume, make-up. I saw the bag when he’d been shopping, feels like a clutch bag/purse of some sort. Treat yourself to a surprise or a present for a friend/family member. My loss is your gain.''


Best Ad #2 from Woman

''It’s a one day auction as I just want them gone. I have no idea what’s in them but they are from a scumbag ex who thinks presents will win me over!! Needless to say, he’s wrong. Must have been wrapped by someone else as he’s not clever enough to have done them.''

11 Proven Ways To Cure A Hangover from cosmopolitan.com

1. Drink Water
An evil hangover is all about dehydration. So gulp plenty of water post-party and the morning-after to rehydrate. Better yet, prevent a hangover altogether by drinking a water for every cocktail you sip!

2. Chow Down
Pizza, egg sandwiches-hangovers often lead to fast food feasts. But docs at the Mayo Clinic say bland snacks like toast, and crackers are best for boosting blood sugar and settling an upset stomach

3. Globe Artichoke
Holistic health says that these delicious, yet tough-to-crack, veggies contain substances that can reduce bloating and nausea, two common symptoms of hangovers. They can also help protect liver cells from booze.

4. Coconut Water
Trendy coconut water is a sort of natural Gatorade. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says coconut water has the same five electrolytes found in our blood, which will help you rehydrate post-partying.

5. Amazing Eggs
James Bond's preferred hangover method was the prairie oyster-a raw egg, some Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper in a glass. But since raw eggs are scary, reach for cooked ones-they're packed with cysteine, an amino acid vital to detoxing, even if scientists remain dubious.

6. Vitamins
They're not a cure-all, but a University of California study found that B-Complex vitamins can help hangovers by restoring energy to your aching body.

7. Lemon Pits
Literally-lemon pits. Some revelers in Puerto Rico swear by rubbing a slice of lemon (or lime) in your armpit before drinking, or afterwards to fight hangover dehydration. We doubt this really works, but, bonus: natural lemony deodorant?

8. Milk Thistle
Always consult a doc before taking any sort of supplement, but this liquid herbal extract is said to work as a "liver tonic." And we all know excessive drinking = bad for your liver.

9. Evening Primrose Oil
It sounds like a luxurious bath product, but this oil from the flowery primrose plant is an age-old alleged hangover cure, as it can help cut down on stomach discomfort and help along liver function. But take it with a grain of salt, as study results are mixed.

10. Sweat
You're not actually sweating out that tequila when you hit the gym the morning after your holiday party. But exercise can help in the way of endorphins!

11. Sleep
Time heals all wounds, including hangovers. Docs at the Mayo Clinic say the best remedy is to go back to sleep and hope your hangover is gone by the time you wake up!

 

 

 

5 Mind Tricks To Fool Yourself Into Eating Less from thedailymeal.com

Use small plates and bowls A study published in January 2012 in the Journal of Consumer Research discovered that people tend to serve themselves considerably less in small bowls than large bowls. Researchers theorized this was because of the Delboeuf illusion in which two circles of the same size are placed close to each other. One is surrounded by a large ring (think a large plate), and the other is surrounded by a smaller ring (think a small plate). This illusion makes the circle (i.e., our food) surrounded by the large ring appear smaller, so we end up serving ourselves too much.

Make sure your plate or bowl is a different color than your food The 2012 Journal of Consumer Research study previously mentioned also found that the color of your dishware matters. The bigger the difference between the food color and the plate color, the less likely participants were to overserve themselves. In other words, you’re better off serving tomato soup in a white bowl, since you’re more likely to serve yourself too much if you serve it in a red bowl.

Match your tablecloth to your dishware The Consumer Research study reported a third factor influencing our portion control: tablecloth color. When the tablecloth color matched the dishware color, participants dished themselves less food. Researchers hypothesized that this was because matching the tablecloth and the dishware helps eliminate the Delboeuf illusion’s effect (see trick number 1) by making the dishware (i.e., the outer circle of the Delboeuf illusion) less noticeable.

For snack attacks, choose 100-calorie packs It turns out those individually packaged 100-calorie packs actually do the trick. A 2011 study published in Obesity found that participants ate 25.2 percent fewer calories when eating from 100-calorie snack packs than from larger bags of snacks. This strategy was particularly effective with overweight participants, who actually ate 54.1 percent less when given the 100-calorie packs.

Don’t eat in front of the computer or TV The more distracted we are, the more we eat, according to a 2007 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers reported that participants who ate while playing solitaire felt less full after eating than participants who ate without any distractions. The solitaire participants also ate twice as many snacks as the non-distracted patients and had a harder time remembering what they ate. Conclusion: Get away from your desk and take that lunch break somewhere else — you deserve the break anyway.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris may have kids. A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Crystal’s desperate to have Hugh’s baby. She thinks it would be the most beautiful way imaginable to show how much she really loves him.

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris have a prenup. A source tells Perez Hilton, “The prenup protects Hugh's Playboy assets, and it also has specific language about the famous Playboy Mansion.

I like it, because he's a very worthy competitor."

 

JLo doesn't hate Marc Anthony. She says, “We have our moments! Don’t get me wrong, something obviously wasn’t perfect there. But the truth is there’s love there with us. We were great friends before we got married. And now we have two babies. Our main goal is to just not mess them up! We need to make sure that we are what they need us to be first. Our feelings and our struggles come second. The love that we share in common for those kids comes first.”

 

Katie Holmes was allegedly shocked by Tom Cruise's encounter with Cynthia Jorge. A source tells OK! magazine, “Katie’s jaw hit the floor when she read about Tom’s wild night.

To bring another woman into the picture is going to be bad for Suri and Tom’s relationship.”

Katy Perry hopes ''Wide Awake'' from her concert movie, Katy Perry: Part Of Me, garners her an Oscar nod. She says, "It's like a dream's dream. When I was growing up and working on music, it was always a dream to win a Grammy, but Oscar was so far out of my dream sphere. This would be a nomination of a completely different caliber. One that is more impressive than many other ones I've had. It's interesting to step out of your playing field and to be recognized from a different angle. It would be an honor."

 

 

Women are attracted to Kelly Clarkson. She tells Cosmo, ''People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long.' That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay. But I'm never insulted by it, obviously. I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. Oh, my god, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it's not just my thing. I've always battled for the boys' team. Usually the guys who hit on me are tools. It's the ones that don't hit on you that make you like 'Why didn't you ask me out?' It's like 'American Idol' auditions. The guys who are the most confident are the horrible ones, and the ones who are good have no confidence at all.''
