A group of local fashionistas are having a Halebob Private Sample Sale on February 24, from 2-7 pm, and February 25, from 10am-7pm. Venue will be the Westside Grill at the Wack-Wack Golf & Country Club. This is the 2nd Halebob sale they've organized, and the first one was a smashing success!

Weird Celeb Diet Tricks That Work!


I've been trying (in vain) to shed the excess poundage I put on over the holidays, and though summer is just around the corner, I still haven't been able to do so!
For those of you in the same predicament, here's a compilation of celeb diet tips and tricks that sound easy enough. (I love food, and I love dining out, so I can never really stay on just one strict diet!)
Let me know if you have any of your own effective diet tricks!
* Victoria Beckham (left) eats lots and lots of prawns, because they fill you up with very little calories, and they are pure protein. (SOURCE: Louise Adams, Victoria's sister, as reported by COMPANY Magazine)
* Sophie Dahl slimmed down from a size 12 to a size 6 by sipping green tea, which speeds up metabolism. Drinking 5 cups of green can let you burn an additional 80 pounds daily. (SOURCE: COMPANY Magazine)
* Hilary Swank eats five meals a day, consisting of chicken, fish, and velegetables, and stays away from processed foods. (SOURCE: handbag.com)
* This one is really weird... "Every mealtime, Christina Aguilera eats four food items: one crunchy, one soft, one hot and one cold. As if that wasn't enough to contend with she also has to eat foods of contrasting colours." (SOURCE: handbag.com)
* "Supermodel Gisele Bundchen eats lots of chilli to stay slim. She believes that it helps speed up digestion by increasing the heart rate, which temporarily raises the metabolism." (SOURCE: handbag.com)
* I also read somwehere that Heidi Klum fills up on egg whites -- they curb her hunger and fill her up with good ol' protein with very little calories and fat. Just don't forget to take out the yolks first, like Heidi does!

Grammy's Fashion


Check out the best and worst dressed celebs at the recent Grammy's. I have to say, Natalie Cole really looks stunning, and I cannot believe she's already 57! Wow!

How to invite good luck into your home!


I was watching Julie Yap Daza's show last Sunday. Joseph Chow, Mandarin Oriental's Feng Shui master, was one of her guests, and he mentioned that to invite good luck into your homes for the coming year, the following should be place on your family's dining table on Chinese New Year's eve (Feb. 17):

2 pineapples
2 pomelos
4 pcs dragonfruit
4 apples
4 oranges
2 pcs lettuce (with roots intact)
2 large onions leeks (with roots intact)
2 stalks celery (with roots intact)
2 lotus fruits
5 carrots

The above fruits symbolize a host of auspicious things like health, wealth, good fortune, etc.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
