Best Sunscreen is a Spray-On
Consumer Reports has released their list of the best sunscreens , and the number one pick is Up and Up Sport Spray, which is blessedly available for about $6 at Target. Experts suggest that you don’t just spray on, but rub it in as well for the best protection.
It’s also widely believed that no extra protection is provided by using sunscreen that has an SPF above SPF 30, so this should do you fine.
I’ll add that I, for one, appreciate the spray-on factor because occasionally my scalp gets burned, and there’s really no way to easily hit the hairline with a cream.

Six Packs Are Out, Regular Sized Male Models Are In
Last week, our commenter eEv remarked “I have my preferences, but if I were to say, “Guys, please do not ever ever go to the gym because we ladies find six-packs really unattractive,” many ladies would disagree.” According to the Sydney Morning Herald eEv is in the majority. A study was recently conducted in Queensland that found that most women really don’t love six packs after all.
More than 600 participants were shown mock-up advertisements featuring men of varying body types and told to rate their appearance. Both men and women rated slim male models or even slightly chubby ones just as highly as those with rippling six packs. The study leader remarks:
Some participants in the University of Queensland study ”may have attributed the models’ muscularity to vanity or homosexuality, characteristics which they may have found unpleasant or discomforting.’”
I think it’s more likely that they just remembered the men they’ve dated who woke up at five in the morning to do crunches to a Guns n’ Roses soundtrack (not everyone feels welcome in the jungle). That said, we hope that this reminds male models that lots of different body types can be attractive, rather than making them feel like they should stop going to the gym and live off of coffee and cigarettes.

Fashion conscious women prefer to spend their money in plastic surgery and proudly show it off. They want smaller noses to look almost like Barbie. “You guessed wrong! I am not talking about Beverly Hills but rather Iran.” A Beverly Hills rhinoplasty specialist explains. With Over 100,000 plastic surgery per year Iran has been the rhinoplasty capital of the world. A woman’s beauty is an essential component of Iranian culture. ”Kill me, but make me beautiful,” one Iranian proverb goes. ”The beautiful face soothes the tired heart and opens the closed door,” goes another.
However the Islamic rulers of Iran have been limiting the display of female beauty by enforcing Islamic dress code. Iran’s strict Islamic dress code has backfired. Where the women face is the only visible part of the body it is understandable that unsightly nose can take a center attention. Influenced by flock of western culture through internet and satellites, Hollywood noses are the Persian women’s dream. The desire among lovely Persian women to look like Snow White is strange but it is a direct reaction to authority’s attempts to make them look like bats and crows.
There have reportedly been more nose jobs in Iran recently than in any other country in the world. Persian women are flocking plastic surgery offices like nowhere else in the world. Right after leaving Tehran’s plastic surgeons’ operating rooms, women rush to their favourite coffee shops to show off a new bandaged badge-of-honour noses. Some even wear fake bandages just for the show off. Now It’s becoming increasingly common for Iranian men to have cosmetic surgery too. Business has been wonderful for hundreds of doctors specializing in nose and other facial surgeries. Of even greater concern are the rising instances of facial disfigurement resulting from operations carried out by unqualified surgeons. As a result, Iran’s justice ministry has set up a special office for medical malpractice cases. Between 2001 and 2004, it dealt with 2,715 cases arising from cosmetic surgery , leading to 459 doctors receiving various forms of written rebuke and 21 being suspended for up to four years.
In Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, one of the largest communities of Iranian outside Iran, nose job still remains one of the most requested surgeries by Persian women. The Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, explains. In United state too non qualified surgeons are allowed to perform rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is by far the most difficult of all the plastic surgeries thus He recommends board certified facial plastic surgeons.

They have won 13 Grammy’s as well as selling 30 million albums. Their new solo album Court Yard Hounds, is filled with acoustic, rock, country and folk elements.

Product Review: Tom Ford Lipstick Is Half Lipstick, Half Art
Last week, I attended a press event for Tom Ford’s new line of lipsticks. I’m a big lipstick fan, but I’m also fiercely unloyal – I’ll wear anything from drugstore brands to stuff from Sephora , all in search of the perfect color. It’s a trait I get from my mom. Neither of us wears much makeup during the day, but we both rely on lipstick as a way to look pulled-together. Tom Ford told Vogue that one of his memories of his mom was how she’d put lipstick on before answering the doorbell, and I feel the same way about lipstick’s ability to make people look dressed-up instantly.
However, the Tom Ford lipsticks are something completely new for me. For one, they have heft – these aren’t lipsticks you can throw around and abuse, they’re serious, well-crafted products. The heft, combined with the “TF” logo on the top of the lipstick, really drives home the fact that these products, while pricey, are made with care. The line has four nudes (although, as I said earlier, I think we need to find a new term to replace “nude” , four bold shades (including True Coral, at left), and four dramatic shades (including Bruised Plum, at the bottom of the page). Even though I normally prefer berry shades, I have to admit I’ve been utterly won over by the neutrals. Right now, I’m sporting Warm Sable, a beige that might have been the very hue Julianne Moore wore in A Single Man.
There was one thing that bugged me about the lipsticks, though – they smelled faintly of something lovely, but I couldn’t figure it out. Finally, after a couple of days, I believe I have found the formula. Behold:
