8 Glasses of water, for you, your mother and your daughter!

How much water do you drink?

Probably not enough is the answer! Like me.

Drinking water enhances the cells in our body to work in optimal condition.

If we don't drink enough water our cells dehydrate, and even scarier!!! This can make us age quicker....
:O *insert girl from the exorcist face.

You should try and drink eight glasses of water per day, depending on your body size.

If you feel you are thirsty, you are already currently dehydrated. The best thing today is take small sips through out the day. Do not over compensate and force too much water, this can make you feel bloated and sluggish.

Drinking more water can also help us loose wait!! Ultimate plus!!!

Drink a glass of water about half an hour, before you eat a meal.

This can help determine whether your hunger is actually posing as thirst.

The water will help fill your stomach and you won't over eat : D

Happy Friday!! xxxx

The end of frienships

Recently I had to make the very hard decision of telling a friend I could no longer be close to her.
It is very hard to let go of someone you have such cherished memories with, but sometimes you have to let someone go so you can grow and evolve as a person.

I spoke out against someone who was being a bully, and my friend who is friends with the bully failed to support me. Ultimately her silence is what killed our friendship. I did not realize our friendship was dead until she suggested I be silent too. When I spoke out, she left me standing alone, and so I had to break away from her.

I used to get very sad when I could no longer be friends with lots of people I had grown up with. My dad always reminds me that the best friendships aren't always about longevity, but your strength of character.

This is my favorite quote I feel reflects that:

"When you are choosing your friends, don't be short changed by choosing personality over character."
W. Somerset Maugham

Another I found relatable:

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Always speak out, lovely ladies, even if it means you are standing alone.

Ariana Grande

Ummm hello cutest little new starlet!!! If you haven't heard of Ariana Grande before I feel
like you will be hearing about her everywhere very soon.

She stars on Disney Channels 'Victorious' and this year scored her own spin off show 'Sam and Cat.'

I first discovered her when a very cute video of her boyfriend attempting to do her make up popped up on a news article I was reading. Her boyfriend happens to be Jai Brooks of Janoskians fame. (I also had never heard of the Janoskians until a few years back when there was a flurry of teenage girls screaming their name at the shopping centre I work at where they happened to be making an appearance).

Ariana can seriously belt out a tune, but not only that she just has that cute star quality. She seems friendly, like someone you could hang out with in your spare time.

Check out the cute video below of her doing impressions or type her name into youtube to hear her renditions of some of your favourite songs:

Always think five moves ahead

Today was Father's day in America....different countries have Father's day on a different day? YES. If that is not what you were thinking when you found out, then you are a lot smarter than me! To commemorate the day, Heidi Klum told a story on her AOL website about the best thing she ever learnt from her father and still uses to this day. Heidi said her father taught her how to play chess when she was a girl, and told her to apply what she learnt from the game in her everyday life:

"From an early age he always played chess with me, and I feel like playing chess with him and always learning to think two, three, four, or five steps ahead has really helped me in business. I don't just think about the next step, I think about five steps ahead." 

That is definitely savvy advice! My dad told me he only wishes I had heard that advice before, and thought four or five moves ahead before I bought that now broken down bomb of a car, of mine!.... Dads!!

The Science of Cool

There appears to be hope for Mischa Barton's some what failing movie career. Mischa is set to star in a movie with her former The O.C cast mate Willa Holland. The film is already generating buzz in the movie world, and is called: 'The science of cool'. According to The Belfast Telegragh, The film is about:  "two high school nerds who accidently stumble across the secret chemical formula to making themselves cool when a science experiment goes wrong. But they soon discover there are consequences to having it all." Mischa has failed to be in a hit since she 'The OC,' fingers crossed this film does well for her sake, or I fear she may sink into oblivion or appear only in 'Where are they now' galleries.

Fashion savvy: Lauren Conrad

I have always been a big fan of The hills star: Lauren Conrad, so when the new show she was producing got the axe by MTV before it had even aired an episode, I was very upset. Lauren revealed in a statement that it was axed because MTV executives thought the show was too 'high brow' for their viewers......so in other words: LC didn't get drunk often enough and make out with random guys.

A huge part of watching 'The hills' was getting a glimpse into the intimate details of Lauren's private life. After watching LC's failed romances draw out over more than six years of her life onscreen, she found a relationship special enough to keep off screen and away from the camera's. Lauren has now been in a committed relationship with Kyle Howard for over two years. Kyle is an American actor, you may recognise him from the movie 'Orange County' with Jack Black or even from the once popular TV show 'Grosse Point.'

Now a days Lauren is still good friends with some of her 'The hills' alumni, including best friend Lo Bosworth, Whitney Port, and Stephanie Pratt. Lauren, now concentrates on her clothing line Paper crown, she is also a successful author whose books have all made their way onto The New York Times best sellers list.

Check out the new interview Lauren had on Chelsea Lately below, where they discuss Lauren's t.v show being axed and her former 'The hills' cast mates.

 It is so easy to forget that our favorite celebrities fashion choices aren't always their own, they have a stylist. Whenever you see your favorite celebrity wearing something seriously bad, it is most likely because their stylist was sick that day and they had to pick out their outfit themselves....okay I am generalizing and there are definitely some celebrities out their, that pick out their outfits all by themselves. One celebrity stylist, however, who does pick out many A listers clothes and deserves major props is Rachel Zoe. The women is a fashion icon, who has also made fashion icon's out of many of her famous clients. Rachel Zoe's impressive list of clientele includes: Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Mischa Barton, Liv Tyler and Eva Mendes, just to name a few.
