Ms. Naturale – VOL. 1

Although mineral makeup has been around for a good 30 years now, it’s only now that the cosmetic and fashion industry is embracing this new makeup formula. Mineral makeup is simply amazing because it’s good for your skin, unlike most other makeups. It’s hypoallergenic, which is great for sensitive skin and it does not contain any alcohol, perfume, dyes, or preservatives. One of the best reasons to switch to mineral makeup is because it’s basically good for you skin, especially if your skin is sensitive. Regular makeup can cause dryness, irritation and acne, while mineral makeup lets your skin breathe and doesn’t cause any of those problems. Mineral makeup also feels light on your face. It doesn’t feel like a mask. With mineral makeup you’ll feel a light coverage, but at the same time a beautiful, translucent, natural glow. On top of that, mineral makeup contains minerals that are good for your skin such as zing, magnesium, titanium and aluminum which rejuvenate your skin.Mineral makeup also offers protection from UVA and UVB rays. It’s also great to cover up any redness, wrinkless or imperfections because it has a light, flawless coverage and doesn’t look “caked on” unlike other makeup. Lastly, you can even sleep with the mineral makeup on because the ingredients are so healthy for your skin. So if you’re ever in a rush in the morning, just apply your makeup at night, and you’re all set to go! http://styletips101.com/makeup/mineral-makeup.html

Sex Position of the Week: The Head Game

(courtesy of Cosmopolitan Magazine)

EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Start this inverted delight by lying flat on the ground face up. With your hands supporting your lower back, lift your legs and backside way, way up so they’re as perpendicular to the ground as you can get them. Have your man kneel before you, grab your ankles, and bring his knees to your shoulders. Then take his hands and ask him to hold your hips — that will steady you both. Hold his thighs for leverage and adjust so your genitals can join for some otherworldly upside-down action.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
Getting into this position, you may feel like you’re headed nowhere — but it’s totally worth it once you experience the results. The blood rush from your thighs will intensify the sensations in the pelvic region. Plus, your legs are squeezed together over his shoulders, which guarantees a snug, scintillating fit for him.

Once you two are well on your way, pulse your legs ever-so-slightly. The added thigh movement will give him an extra rush in this already tight fit. Thrust your hips into his groin and arch your back as you move with him, turning you into a vibrating vixen he can’t resist.

Vote Jedi

Is Barack Obama a Jedi Knight? Ask George Lucas

“Star Wars” creator George Lucas can’t help but compare some of his movie characters to modern politicians.

Lucas appeared on Capitol Hill yesterday morning to testify at the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Telecommunications and the Internet subcommittee hearing on universal service (huh?).

But he was cagey when it came to the Washington Examiner’s Yeas and Nays blog’ question: “Who is President Bush more like: Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader?”

“It’s up to the viewer,” he responded.

When asked what he thinks of Vice President Dick Cheney’s nickname — “Darth Vader” — Lucas wouldn’t say if he thought it was an accurate description of the veep.

But he did say that Cheney “seems to like” the nickname.

Heck, I bet Cheney came up with it himself and practices the raspy Vadar voice when he looks in the mirror every morning.

Lucas did, however, have one firm answer: Barack Obama is definitely a Jedi knight. “I would say that’s reasonably obvious,” he said.

Funny Joke from a Beautiful Woman: Noemie Lenoir

(courtesy of Esquire Magazine)

A guy goes to the supermarket, and a beautiful woman smiles at him and says hello. He’s rather taken aback because he can’t place how he knows her. So he asks, “Do you know me?” The woman says, “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.” His mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife, and he says, “My God! Are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery!?” She looks into his eyes and calmly says, “No, I’m your son’s math teacher.”

The numbers are both staggering and disturbing. Millions of children die every year of diseases that are preventable. Just half of all African-American and Hispanic students graduate from high school. Thousands of homeless people sleep on the streets every night. These are the statistics that have so distressed Melinda Gates, 41, and her husband, billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, that the two started an endowment, now at $28.8 billion, to fight for better health care and education for the poor around the world, as well as for at-risk families in Washington State and Oregon. Gates is also on the boards of The Washington Post Co. and drugstore.com.

Sex Position of the Week: The Octopus

(courtesy of Cosmopolitan Magazine)

EROTIC INSTRUCTIONS:
Have your guy sit on the floor with his hands on the ground behind him. Tell him to spread his legs and bend them slightly at the knees. Keeping your hands on the floor for support, straddle his lap, facing him, and raise your legs so your right leg rests on his left shoulder and your left leg on his right shoulder. Do it right and you two will look like a multilimbed lust creature.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:
Because your body is tilted upward, your guy enters you in up-and-down motions rather than circular or side-to-side, bringing on deep, direct G-spot orgasms. And you both get a prime bird’s-eye view of the action — a male fantasy come true! Plus, if you can master this one, you two will have entered the Kama Sutra Hall of Fame. And what could be hotter than that?

This position is all about intimate contact, so make the most of it! If you’re feeling extra flexible, try wrapping your arms around his neck to get even closer to his hot body, where you can focus your attention on kissing and nibbling his lips, neck, and earlobes.

Funny Joke from a Beautiful Woman: Rose McGowan

(courtesy of Esquire Magazine)

Walking home after a girls’ night out, two women pass a graveyard and stop to pee. The first woman has nothing to wipe with, so she uses her underwear and tosses it. Her friend, however, finds a ribbon on a wreath, so she uses that. The next day, the first woman’s husband phones the second woman’s husband, furious: “My wife came home last night without her panties!” “That’s nothing,” says the other. “Mine came back with a card stuck between her butt cheeks that said, ‘From all of us at the fire station, we’ll never forget you.’”

The Most Powerful Women: Gloria Arroyo

(courtesy of Forbes Magazine)

Arroyo, 58, is now fighting to hold on to her job as the opposition party seeks to file impeachment charges against her over a series of scandals, and her attempts to fix Manila’s weak finances are falling apart, causing frustrated technocrats to bolt from her government. After donning the mantle of president in 2001, Arroyo tried to work diligently on her governing platform, which includes the eradication of poverty, which helped her win re-election in 2004. Nevertheless, despite a growing economy (in 2004, the Philippines economy grew an estimated 6.1%, up from 4.7% in 2003), Arroyo’s stewardship has been burdened by a Muslim insurgency and the Philippines’ designation as the second most corrupt country in Asia, according to a survey of businessmen conducted by the Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy. Arroyo, a former classmate of Bill Clinton’s at Georgetown University and a onetime economics professor, is currently under investigation by lawmakers into allegations she cheated to win last year’s election; to date Arroyo has declined to testify before her government’s Congress.

Recline in a hot tub with your arms stretched out to your sides, holding on to the edge of the tub for support if you need to. Your partner kneels between your legs, facing you, and lifts you by the backs of your thighs so you’re floating off the seat and he can enter you.

Little Hill CHOCOLATE WATCH

Toblerone Chocolate Mousse

Dark Toblerone Mousse (6-8 servings)
300 g (10 ounces) dark Toblerone,
broken into large pieces
Ample boiling water
2 eggs
2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
4 dl (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) cream

Place the Toblerone in a bowl and cover it completely
with boiling water. Allow it to stand briefly, until the
chocolate softens. The chocolate should not lose its
shape; the proper degree of softness is reached when
a wooden skewer can be inserted easily into the
chocolate.
Carefully pour off the water. In a separate bowl, beat
the eggs and sugar together until light. Add the soft-
ened chocolate and blend well. Beat the cream until
stiff peaks form, and fold it carefully into the chocolate
mixture. Chill two to three hours. To serve, use two
spoons to scoop out balls of mousse. Arrange them on
a serving platter and decorate them with additional
cream.

Funny Joke from a Beautiful Woman: Teri Polo

(courtesy of Esquire Magazine)

A Scotsman in traditional garb walks into a bar. A few hours later, he stumbles into the street and passes out. While he’s unconscious, two tourist girls walk up to him. They want to check and see if the rumor about Scotsmen and their kilts is true, so they lift up his skirt and see that he’s naked underneath. One of the girls takes a blue ribbon out of her hair and ties it around his johnson before they run away laughing. When the Scotsman awakens, he looks down and sees the blue ribbon. “I don’t know where you’ve been or what you’ve done,” he says to his johnson, “but I’m sure glad you won first prize.”
