Sometime she does crazy things to get in the papers and at others she’s just a mom who loves her kids. But everybody knows and loves Pamela Anderson for being one of the first people to make breast augmentation appear on many women’s must-have lists. And of course, how can I forget! A large part of the demographic also remembers her for being one of the original hot babes of Baywatch. Speaking of which, she has decided to give out most her Baywatch gear and underwear in a garage sale to-die-for.The sale had many knick-knacks collected during her Baywatch days and also some of her favorite white furniture and colorful footwear. On the heels of her third divorce, Pamela seems set to start over from scratch as everything from one of her LA mansions was put up on sale. Well, noth

Okay, the weather is nice out, spring is upon us and it is time for all of those things we forget to do in our day to day but need to keep on top of.Consider this your reminder, take some time this week or weekend and boost efficiency around your home. Here's some tips from my quarterly/semi-annual cleaning routine.1. Check the 9V batteries in all the fire alarms, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. This little battery can save you and/or your family. Spend the couple dollars and put fresh batteries in them at least once a year. Ignoring it isn't being frugal, its being stupid. While you're at it, see the little button on it, push it in and test to see if it's still working.2. AC/Furnace filters. I change mine monthly in the summer and bi-monthly in the winter here based on how

While on vacation in Hawaii, former 24 star Elisha Cuthbert let it slip that the producers of the popular action/thriller had been tinkering with applying the 24 format to a story that’s both romantic and comedic.

Gentle rains fall to soften my garden beds. The very atmosphere seems pregnant, imparting everything with fecund potential. My heart and mind soar in such enveloping mists and soak in the droplets of the magnified clarity it gives to the light, filtered and diffused in the tenderest way possible. The purples and lavenders glow in this light, the greens deepen and become velveted, the whites glisten and then fade at the edges... nothing is harsh or disordered while the colors of the garden are washed into each other with rainbow gradations. I imagine my newly planted seeds welcomed in the moist womb of the garden's earth. Every petal of the blooming flowers is preserved in the momentary embrace of the sweet moisture, the prepared soils open and inviting to every growing thing and to my fe

I always forget how much I enjoy these easy to make spring rolls. The last time we made them was for a party at our house, everyone loved them. I came across a partial package of spring roll wrappers while cleansing my cupboard of all the bad things I should no longer eat. Although the spring roll wrappers are essentially rice flour, they are thin and healthy when filled with plenty of

Gird your pinafores, artfully cuff your kimonos: you are cordially invited to a tea party. Tea is a global industry with a thousand local faces. It is also a really tasty excuse to get together with some friends on a Saturday afternoon and have a good time. So I'm getting in the mood with an annual food blogger event: a spring tea party.

Many people use the bank holiday weekend as the opportunity for a good clean out. And former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson, it seems, is no exception.

I've been getting quite lazy recently. I filled my giant office bin with paper, CDs and other crap about 3 weeks ago but instead of disposing of it I decided I'd start to fill an empty cardboard box and then get rid of it all later on. Problem is, once I finished that box I started a second. And when that was finished, a third appeared. So there I was, in a small loft conversion of an office with an overflowing bin and three boxes full of junk, leaving hardly enough room for me and my collection of empty glasses which I was too lazy to take down to the kitchen. At this stage, any normal person would have chucked the lot but not me, oh no. I simply started to fill my seat with rubbish. So for the past few days I've been sitting here, perched on the edge of my chair spewing screwed up pieces

So, it seems it is time to ditch the coat and take my gloves out of my handbag. Time to add instead my hand-held fan and a bottle of water. Spring arrived today with temperatures up in the twenties; which means sweltering on the underground. The office was sweltering today too. I think that building management may finally have got the message and turned off the central heating. Doesn't make much

I have not realized that it will take me that long to get back to blogging. Things finally started to normalize, and I can actually sit and rest before bedtime. Tell you the truth, for me it was really nice break from the computer, however, at some point I started to miss my blogging. But sitting front of the computer for eight hours at work, and then at home it was not doing me any justice, I think I started to become a computer geek, a virtual friend (I don't mind that part) - yes the winter was too long, and I was being exhausted of posting ideas too.The spring finally arrived, it is really starting to be beautiful around here. We now have rain, clouds, sun, wind - everything what heart desires after long cold and snowy winter, and yes birds arrived too, as you can see above one of my n

By Kim Painter, USA TODAY The sun is shining. Flowers are blooming. It's May, and many of us feel great. But the thoughts of some vulnerable people grow dark at this seemingly bright time of year. In fact, if there is a season for suicide, springtime is it. More...   Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc. Comment:  This study is further evidence that increased suicidality as depression lifts is probably an effect of the lifting and not of the agent, whether it be antidepressants, psychotherapy, deep brain stimulation, the amino acid L-Tryptophan, or, as found in this study, sunlight, that triggers the improvement.

During a Sex and the City: The Movie reunion on Oprah last week, Sarah Jessica Parker looked positively lit from within wearing a bright floral frock. I think it's a sign that I need to buy something floral, too... that, and the fact that my neighborhood has literally come to life with an eruption of colorful spring flowers including dogwood, magnolia, crabapple, and cherry trees as well as flowering shrubs and bushes like forsythia, azalea and now, lilacs. Of course, I know florals are huge for Spring, but it seems like lately, the entire universe is conspiring to make me take notice of this trend, take the plunge and actually buy something with a floral print - and it's working! Forever 21 is in on the scheme as well with an incredible offering of unique, fresh takes on florals. I th

The rain has subsided, the tulips are in bloom. It must be spring. Everybody is enjoying this except our local real estate professionals. I’ve been playing with the Pending Sales numbers that the RMLS publishes every month and I found something interesting; the spring selling season is a total bust.Last month my estimate predicted 1,633 sales would consummate during the month. The actual number was 1,691. I was short by about 4%, not bad for an amateur. Here is a look at my model vs. actual sales for the past 5 years. Based on the published pending sales I think about 1,740 sales will close in April, lets round up to 1,800 to be safe. Here is what that would look like. I’m being optimistic. For comparison Ron Ares is calling for less than 1,600 sales during the month.Either way you cut

This is a typical Spring morning in upstate New York: you open the front door and try to get a feel for the weather so you know whether to dress in sweaters and socks or to throw on a t-shirt and sandals. It's a fashion adventure, every day. And if you don't care about fashion, then it's an adventure of another sort. For those who have allergies and asthma, it's a question of what the day will do to you: will you be sneezing, coughing, gasping for air or running around playing Frisbee and happily taking in the sunshine?I've got doctor's appointments to schedule, an orthodontist appointment for one child, prescriptions to fill for the other child, a quick jaunt to the school to drop off my kids, and then back to the school to pick one up later. This is all about attending to the necessities

Many college spring break students have never been on a spring break cruise. They have jumped in their cars and headed for Florida or one of the many beach areas on the east and west coast of the United States, but never thought of cruising. So how does the first timer go about finding the best Bahama cruise for spring break 2009? First lets talk about the length of time you want to be on vacation. Do you want a spring break trip that will last the entire week or just the weekend? This will drop a few cruise lines off the list. Several cruise lines only have weekend cruises to the Bahamas, others only have seven-day cruises to the Bahamas. Second, you need to decide if you want an all inclusive spring break package or a pay as you go spring break trip. Naturally, all inclusive spring break

According to People.com's StyleWatch, small braids are big news for Spring hair style trends. The timing couldn't be better, too, with prom and wedding season right around the corner. Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, and Lauren Conrad are just a few of the stars sporting this boho-take on the up-do. Best part is this is definitely a look you can do yourself without having to pay a stylist. We love it - just keep the braid loose, the look natural by not using to much product, and embellish with something that sparkles for evening. Related posts: Allure's Best New Spring Makeup Colors

Lexington, Ky., tops the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America's 2008 list of "spring allergy capitals." Greensboro, N.C., comes in at 2nd, followed by Johnson City, Tenn., Augusta, Ga., and Jackson, Miss. in fifth place. The yearly list is based on four factors: allergy prevalence, seasonal pollen, allergy medication use per patient, and the number of board-certified allergy specialists per patient. It should be noted that rankings can change quite modestly from one year to another. For example, Lexington leads this year's rankings but 2007 they were 57th. That said here is the remainder of the list entries.

Natural long nails painted with Nubar in "Pink Elegance"The "rules" of fashion are not what they were 20 years ago, and neither are the rules for nail polish. At the present time, as well as a manicure is well-groomed and not tattered and worn, just about all colors are appropriate year round. Some colors are more seasonal than others. I myself don't use a calendar to decide on a nail color, I go with that my craving is at that particular moment. For example, dark browns tend to be put on the shelf once signs of Spring start showing. Dark browns are especially nice in the summer on well-tanned tips and toes. Focus on your skin tone to choose the most suitable color for you.The collections that have come out for Spring have been mixed. Some companies are going all pale (Essie and Orly) whil
