How POSH Are You?

October 29th 2006 21:17
Here's a bit of fun...

Victoria Beckham aka POSH spice has always annoyed me....particularly because she was the least talented spice girl and particularly beacause she is PARTICULARLY skinny and particularly plastic fantastic. But are my judgements unfounded...I mean is there perhaps a little POSH in all of us...I'm talking about men too. She's fought for this position in some way - she's made grabs at credibility (a swipe at a singing career post spice girls didn't help though).

So should we give it up for POSH, I mean is she little Miss Understood or do we just not get her?


As far as POSHness goes, we're all just a teensy bit fashion concsious...you have to admit, and although POSH really isn't the red carpet winner of the moment, she scrubs up alright and so can we all...
I'd say fashion conscousness for 3 points of POSHness...

Health and Fitness, I would also give this a 3, but 3 pojnts here would be extreme. Although a fit bod and a good eating regime is great, I think the lengths POSH has gone to are something I can't condone...I mean really, where's the steak,potatoes, pie and the odd glass of vino in that figure!

POSH Pose...How high do you hold your head? This counts for 2 on a posh scale, where you get zero for nose on the ground.

Fancy pants hubby. I'm only giving this one point on a POSHNESS scale of 10.

AND fInally, the celebrity point (1), do you know as many, hang with them or ARE YOU just as celeb as posh?

So on a scale of 1 - 10 in POSHness? how do you stack up...can you point the finger at her or are you just as posh yourself?

Here's How I rank:
Out of 3 for fashion I give myself 2. It's a high score i know and I'm not talking it up because I am no glamour day to day, but BOY am I conscious of it.

Health and fitness - for me 1.5. I just can't say no to some of the most important reasons for living...good food and wine!
I get 1 for pose - I'm so so.
ZERO for fancy hubby
And as for celebs...I get 0.1...I've seen a couple in the street!

My POSH rating is 4.6
I'm going to point the finger!

Best Simpsons Quote...

October 27th 2006 09:45
As I write this, I am watching Family Guy...Go figure. But it is what inspired me to write this post...why because I LOVE family guy but I it is just not as quotable as The Simpsons...

I mean quotes such as these are great:
Don't Censor Me!
C'mon WOnder woman I got 3 kings now let's see your pair
Mark my words one of these days your uppance will come
oh and then there's mmm mm mmmmhmmmm mm mmm (the good cop bad cop ep)
and so on...
BUT unless you know the ep or you are really into Family Guy you don't get it...well maybe not you - but I find there just aren't enough Family Guy watchers out there...

OK so back to The Simpsons....
Your favourite quote please.

I love:
Ai ai ai Senor Ding DOng
You Can't win friends with Salad
and
They call 'em finger but I ain't never seen 'em fing.

So what do you think?
What's your fave? And please share if you also love Family Guy

A Cure For Bad Breath

October 21st 2006 07:44
Bad breath worries me. A Lot. I am always concious of it when others have it and I am always cautious of my own.

The problem is, you don't know if your breath is bad because you can't smell it. I have heard of triying to breathe into your hands but that doesn't work either - you just look silly. Don't be freaked out here, but licking your hand is probably a better indicator of how your breath smells...and that's usually bad (and youlook even sillier.

So what do you do? If you like your spicy and garlicky foods like me, chances are you'll have bad breath, and today I do. I know because I have friends that are kind enough to tell me...and i mean that - if they weren't so honet I would be breathing my stench into the world...instead I am maintaining its wrath.

It does hurt to know that your breath is bad, but at least if you know you can take care of it...and trust me it's better to find out than to never know, I don't know if I'd tell a stranger, but I'd certainly tell a friend.

So here's what I do:
Regular brush/floss/mouthwash - that's given, but also...
I am such a freak when it comes to this, so I usually chew gum after a meal...but that is only a short term fix.
EATING PINEAPPLE is great, this is not only good for fighting bad breath but it stimulates your metabolism - so good for your diet.
A great idea is a pineapple and mint jiuce.
Chew herbs such as parsely, coriander, fennel, basil and even cinnamon bark.
I've also heard (though not tried) that eating plain/natural yoghurt over a period of time will help.
I also find that green tea helps, it generally makes my mouth feel clean and again is good for you for it's antioidant properties and also because it stimulates your metabolism.
My favourite natural remedy is the fresh pineapple option...as much as I love fresh herbs, I couldn't take to chewing parsely.

You can take breath fresheners too, but if it is a long term bad breath problem I believe you need to get to the heart of the matter...or rather - the gut!

Finding out what CAUSES your bad breath is essential, you may not realise it but your gut may not be able to deal with certain things like dairy and red meats (these are quite common). And although you may have historically been OK with all of these foods, your stomach will change over time. If you are unsure of what to do about this or are concerned, see a naturopath, or do harmless tests like cutting out dairy for a few weeks and so on and see how you feel physically - Oh and ask someone to take a whiff of your breath.

If you have any more to add please feel free. I don't know too much about bad breath long term...i.e. gum problems or gingivitis, but I do know that a lot has to do wth diet and lifestyle. Even negative emotion and anger can cause bad breath...true story! This is because when you are stressed your gut wll produce different juices and sometimes they can come out as bad breath.

In A Tizz? See A Movie.

October 19th 2006 08:12
That’s what I did.

I’m self confessed Will Ferrell Obsessed, so of course I went to see Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The movie is great, pure entertainment and enjoyment and thank you Will Ferrell for providing that, because although it had an amazing cast (John C. Reilly, Michael Clark Duncan, Jane Lynch and Sacha Baron-Cohen), Will easily steals the show. Of Course, I mean really is there anything this guy can’t do

Hey Stinkypants!

October 18th 2006 02:56
Being smelly goes waaaay back to the primary school days - I've been there, I was smelly on occasion and others were smelly too - sometimes there even called for an occasion to call people smelly even when they weren't - I also fell into this category...that's bullying.

This school yard teasing helps you develop a thick skin (or emotional problems) but it does make you aware of not WANTING to smell or be the stinky pants...so you maintain your hygene and curb your gas emissions - that's easily done...for some

Stagnant Anyone?

October 15th 2006 01:16
Do you ever feel in your life, where ever you are at right now, half an hour ago or whenever, that you are stagnant? You know lacking creative energies, the will to get up and do something ANYTHING!

I feel that often, it usually has a lot to do with how I feel physically, you know tiredness or a little under the weather. It is amazing how your health can affect you, and crazily when I feel like this I usually go off and clean something…OCD anyone
