Rachel Bilson's debut shoe collection

We all love shoes, that easy buy, that no matter if you are having a fat day, an ugly day, whatever, new shoes will make you feel fabulous! So recently there have been a lot of these custom websites, that create an "individual profile" of styles that they think you would like, based on a series of questions you have answered. The website normally has a celebrity endorsing them to raise their profile, we have Kim Kardashian and Shoe Dazzle (http://www.shoedazzle.co.uk/) , Cheryl Cole and Stylist Pick (http://www.stylistpick.com/#2) , and now there is Rachel Bilson and ShoeMint (http://www.shoemint.com/showroom).

I have highly anticipated Rachel Bilson's collection, as she is a girl who regularly graces the pages of magazines and "Best Dressed" list, despite her not really doing much apart from looking good.

So I joined the website, answered the questions and got my results. the results were good, as two out of three of the designs I would wear. However in all honestly thought I was disappointed with the lack of results, 3 shoes, in 2 different colours is not much choice. Plus the price is a bit higher that other websites that offer the same service; their prices being around £39.99, ShoeMint's prices are $79.99 (around £50). The bad news for us UK girls is that currently they only ship to addresses within the US, but hopefully that will change as they expand, as this is what happened with ShoeDazzle. Again because this is the first collection, maybe as time goes by with more collections, more styles will be designed, giving us girls more choice.

Have you ever bought any shoes from these new websites? What do you think of their service? 

Twilight wedding dress| Replica from Alfredo Angelo

I imagine all you Twilight fans (Yes that includes myself, no hating please), will have probably already seen the film, ans will be lusting after Kristin Stewart's beautiful wedding, and the dress, but now you can get the dress!

Obviously there is no need for to buy the wedding dress, unless you are in fact getting married soon. If you are a lucky lady who is getting married, Alfredo Angelo have their own bargain version of the Twilight dress, priced at $799.

According to "industry insiders" the original dress, designed by Carolina Herrera, cost an estimated $35,000! This is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a wedding dress so us people in the real world. However the Alfredo Angelo one is a steal!

The replica dress, is very similar to the original, apart from a difference in fabric, the original is silk, and the replica opts for liquid satin. Both dresses are demure, classic and breathtaking. 

Overall I believe it to be a pretty good copy, and you can not argue with the price. However I do believe that because the fabric has been changed to liquid satin, the front of the dress does not fit as well, and looks a bit like sleep wear...very glamorous sleepwear!

Let me know what you think of replica, and if you like the dress at all.

Winter Warmers\ Health Benefits to Soup

I don't know about you, but working all the time, and only having a short lunch break (20-25 minutes) makes finding a suitable, fulfilling and healthily lunch difficult. Especially during the colder months. I never have time to leave work and go to a sandwich shop such as Pret-a-Manager, Boots or Costa Coffee, and I do not like preparing my own cold salads or sandwiches.

So my latest thought has been soup. Home-made soup to be exact.
Yes I agree it easier to buy a can of soup, but it is not as healthy, more expensive and less fun.
So I make batches of soup, then portion them out into freezer bags, and freeze them. When I go to work I use the microwave to defrost them, and hey presto fresh home made soup to warm me up :)

This is a soup I made this evening- Lightly spiced Carrot Soup.

BBC good food website has a few great recipes, they even have the nutritional value about each dish to help you calorie counters!

A quick, easy, healthy solution to a rushed lunch!

How Is Mesothelioma Acquired?

Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer than affects individuals who have been exposed to asbestos. Asbestos fibers are extremely dangerous and can pose major risks for anyone who comes into contact with them.

Asbestos has been used for years in many different products, especially construction and insulation. Although the risks were not well known in its earlier use, it is now a common topic with a vast amount of information available about it. Even so, many companies are still using this toxic material in trace amount in different products.

Once asbestos fibers are released into the air, they can either be inhaled or ingested by a human. At this point, the fibers can travel to any one of the main linings of the body. The pleura is a lining that surrounds and protects the lungs. If the asbestos fibers travel and lodge into this lining, a person will develop pleural mesothelioma. The peritoneum is a lining that surrounds and protects the abdominal cavity. If asbestos is ingested and travels to this delicate covering of the abdominal viscera, peritoneal mesothelioma will begin to develop. Finally, the third type of mesothelioma is pericardial mesothelioma. This cancer results when asbestos fibers lodge in the pericardium, or protective covering of the heart. Once the fibrous pieces of asbestos travel to any one of these major linings, they will become lodged and begin to produce carcinogenic scar tissue. At that point, mesothelioma is well on its way to causing numerous health problems.

The dormancy period of all types of mesothelioma is extremely long. This means that the time from exposure to the fibers until the appearance of symptoms can be anywhere from twenty to fifty years long. This fact makes treating mesothelioma extremely challenging because the cancer has normally progressed too far by the time of discovery. Also, the symptoms that come with each type of mesothelioma are similar to the symptoms that other major illnesses and diseases have as well. Most time, mesothelioma is misdiagnosed due to these symptom similarities. For example, pleural mesothelioma may cause shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, exercise intolerance and chest pain. These symptoms are the same symptoms that many major respiratory diseases cause as well. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthmatic bronchitis and emphysema all carry the same symptoms as pleural mesothelioma.

In any case, it is important to find a reputable oncologist that specializes in mesothelioma and the challenges that it brings with it. By doing this, the oncologist and patient can develop a treatment game plan and begin to fight this horrible cancer.
