"Baby I was born this way"
I was visiting my mother this past weekend and we were looking through some family pictures. I came across these photos that my dad had taken of me. Obviously I haven't changed much. I still love to dress up and strike a pose.
Sassy in red.
This look is so on trend. Don't forget the pearls. ;)
Cameron Daiz said Sex is her favourite sport
Cameron Diaz has revealed that sex is her favourite sport and also said that she was always in the mood for sex."Sex is the sexiest word in the English language. Just the word is sexy to me. There's something to it, don't you think? Sex is my favourite sport," Contactmusic quoted her as telling the News of the World newspaper.
"What's the quickest way to get me in the mood? I'm always in the mood," she added.
The 38-year-old star, who recently split with baseball star Alex Rodriguez, also admitted she is in no rush to get married, and would rather make her 'own rules'.
"I don't think we should live our lives in relationships based off old traditions that don't suit our world any longer. I think a lot of people are married to people that they're not romantic with anymore," she said.
"We have to make our own rules. I just didn't ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on," she added.

If You Jump, I Jump Right? ♥
I recently dyed my hair a dark brown colour, so I had to go make up shopping for a slightly darker foundation. Casper the friendly ghost is never a good look for me haha. I also got this nail polish for £2 instead of £7 with a handy little Boots voucher ;) It makes me sigh at how many of those vouchers I have probably binned..You save £5 on any No7 product..Common sense Jade, common sense please.
Anyway, for the nail polish, I LOVE it! The picture isn't very clear, due to my crappy camera but it's a lovely fuchsia pink colour. It's matte and has a nice shine to it - very Barbie like ;) Anyway, I definitely recommend you saving the vouchers when you go into Boots. I've already bought 3 of the nail polishes! I think I mentioned them in an earlier post..
Nail polish 8/10
For the foundation, I wanted something cheap but something with a matte coverage. I'm pretty self conscious about my skin...I don't have any spots or redness but I just need to feel covered or I'm constantly checking myself in mirrors all day. It's a very annoying habit I have.
Anyway, I was going to buy a collection 2000 one but the bottle was tiny! So, I looked at 17s Anti-Fatigue foundation with SPF 15. I got a fairly dark shade, but when I applied it to my jaw, it blended in perfectly.
That's a trick a learnt from a make up artist - never test foundation out on your hand, because your face and hand are completely different shades. My hand are always like a red colour..
Anyway, I love this foundation! It's smooth and creamy and applies on the skin really well. It's perfect for anyone who wants a full coverage and it's a bonus that it has sun protection in it. Although, your not supposed to just rely on foundation with SPF. You need sun cream too! It was only £6.29 for a 30ml bottle..that's pretty good right?!
Another thing I really liked about it, is that the case is plastic so it won't smash when I carry around my make up bag!
Foundation 7.5/10
I hope I covered everything..

Obama’s Commerce Department—‘Spreading The Wealth Around’ Globally
By Howard Rich
The nomination of John Bryson as Barack Obama’s new Secretary of Commerce has been touted in some circles as “the latest in a recent string of moves by the Obama administration to mend relations with the business community.”
But is the selection of Bryson — who founded a radical environmental organization and helped spearhead the United Nations climate change movement — really a good choice for American businesses? Or is his nomination the latest example of Obama’s commitment to a massive expansion of “world welfare” — one that would further bankrupt our Treasury and place additional strain on our taxpayers?
By now, it has become abundantly clear that the real goal of the left-wing eco-radicals has nothing to do with climate change — and everything to do with international wealth redistribution on an unprecedented scale. Sadly, this goal has been enthusiastically embraced by the Obama administration — as Bryson’s nomination once again demonstrates.
At a 2009 conference leading up to the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen, Bryson proposed the establishment of training programs and a new global law enforcement regime aimed at blocking poor nations from using their forest resources. In fact, funding for this massive undertaking was part of the “global climate tax” approved at Copenhagen — a radical wealth redistribution scheme which hopes to siphon $100 billion a year from America and other countries to developing nations by the end of the decade.
