SEE SPOT RUN

It never fails that the night you're wearing your favorite shirt, something goes SPLAT - making it's way across your chest screaming, "look at the messy idiot!" Stains can be stubbornly time consuming and sometimes not worth the effort but before you throw that shirt away, you must try ZOUT. This brings Spray and Wash, Shout and Oxy Clean to their knees. And yes, for as much as I love the Clorox Bleach Pen, this kicks it's butt too. For only $2.99 at Target, it is excellent in removing stubborn stains and grease spots. What I found works best is if you spray it directly onto the spot, give it a little "dab" and let it soak into the garment for a little bit. After it's had time to soil into the fabric (leaving it overnight won't hurt the fabric), send it through a hot wash cycle and see spot run!!!



Quick tips for effective stain removal:



1) Best to attack the stain from the back of the fabric . This will prevent the stain from spreading deeper into the fabric.



2) Use a "dabbing" motion rather than a rubbing one, working from the outside in, when applying the remover.

3) For non-greasy stains, immediately use cold water to try and treat it. Hot water tends to set the stain.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
