Okay, Mother Blogger was a little aghast when this date-rape drug testing lip gloss came across her desk, but The Working Girl said date rape is a rampant problem and this beauty product weapon might save a woman from sexual assault

It’s a sad reality of the modern-day social scene: if a woman takes her eyes off her drink for just a moment, it gives her date or a stranger the opportunity to spike that drink with a tasteless, odorless drug that could leave her more vulnerable to assault. The most effective prevention is attentiveness, but a new cosmetics company is now offering women an unexpected weapon: lip gloss.

2 Love My Lips is much more than just a minty, plumping gloss-it’s also a drug-testing kit. Each of the five flattering shades comes equipped with a simple strip treated to detect gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) and ketamine, which are notorious date-rape drugs.

If a woman is concerned that someone may have tampered with her drink, she can dip her finger or straw in the liquid-it works with most alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages-and place a drop onto the strip. If GHB or ketamine is present-it cannot currently detect Rohypnol (Roofies)-it will turn dark blue within a few seconds.

“Through personal experience and those of my close friends, I identified a need for such a product,” explains British brand founder Tracy Whittaker, “so [I] set about researching drink-spiking drugs and what type of testing kit I could put in a lip gloss pack alongside developing the perfect lip gloss for a glitzy night out.”

Although the glamour of lip gloss doesn’t naturally correlate with the graveness of sexual assault, Whittaker’s unconventional concept could turn out to be an unexpected impetus for the decline of drug-related rapes.

Mother Blogger and The Working Girl are huge fans of yoga.  Diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year, Mother Blogger has found that yoga has helped not only  her body but also her mind.  The Working Girl has recently discovered that exercising with a DVD is about the only time she can fit in a workout.  The Pulse Yoga DVD, the Manic Monday giveaway, is a basic yoga routine that introduces the Pulse concept of micro movements within a posture. 

Read what the creator of this unique brand of yoga has to say about the routine:

Pulse Yoga is a result of my personal quest to find yoga routines that accomplish much more than other yoga styles. A few years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia. This is almost osteoporosis, but not quite. I was shocked as I have been practicing yoga for so many years and consider myself to be in very good physical condition. The doctor told me that I needed to do some sort of weight training program. I have never really liked working out in a gym, always preferring yoga. I also did not want to give up precious time allotted to my yoga practice, so I decided to incorporate free weights into my yoga routines.
 
As a woman in my 50’s, I also wanted more toning, strengthening and increased muscle definition, again without using machines in the gym. So, in addition to the free weights, I added micro movements that primarily target areas such as the gluteus muscles, abdominals, upper arms and lower back. These micro movements within the yoga postures are highly effective with results that are noticeable immediately

Enter to win a Pulse Yoga DVD and find peace, beauty, and strength in your exercise routine.

Diane Keaton has a new film, a TV series and a memoir about herself and her mother in the works.  And, for the first time ever, she’s allowed her children to be photographed for a magazine – the November issue of More.  In fact, the subscriber cover features Keaton close-up with a background pulled from the pages of her kids’ journals.
 
There is just one area of life’s pool that gives this single mom pause: the danger zone of men.  Excerpts from the story, on newsstands October 27, follow:
 
About her sex appeal:  “I don’t think men even look at me anymore.  If anything could work in that area, it would probably be if I paid him.  Then I think we could work out an affable relationship.  ‘Remember, at eight we’re going to dinner.  Until then, you’re free, take care of yourself.’”  She grins; she’s joking, of course, though so seamlessly that she had you for a second.  “I’m totally for it!  I pay for everything else.”  She snorts at herself.  “I bet I’ll have a lot of suitors now, right?” 

About not having a man in her life:  “It’s a huge part of life that’s missing, yeah, but I don’t miss it.”…Keaton calls her independence “wonderful.  I’m free to do what I want to try to do.  I don’t have to worry that I’m not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else.”
 
About the idea of couples falling in love later in life:   “Do you think they kiss?”  she squeals.  “They have sex?  That’s something I can’t imagine at all.  For me it was always, ‘Oh, no!’”  She mimes backing away, waggling her hands.  “And then I couldn’t help myself, because, just biologically, you can’t help but go toward it.  It’s too exciting.”  She shakes her head.  “Ugh!  I don’t want that excitement.  Too scary.  I see it as a danger zone.  Who would we become together?”
 
About being on the run:  “I don’t really relax much.  Like, I can’t go and nap, ever.  I’m not interested in relaxing until I hit the sack, and then it’s like [crash noise].  I wouldn’t know what to do with a week off.  Except for one little area, m-e-n, I’m excited, I’m ready to go, sign me up.”
 
About plastic surgery:  “There’s nothing wrong with [cosmetic procedures].  A gal’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.  I’m not going to say that I wouldn’t.  Sometimes now I have a different feeling about [aging].  But you can’t beat it; even if you do all that stuff, you’re still not going to beat it.”

As a woman who loves shopping, I have to try to do my best to manage my finance well. It was so easy for me to shop for clothes, bras or food. But since the crisis came, I have to control my shopping hobbies. Even so, this doesn’t stop me in shopping my favorite clothes or food.

I love doing sports and tennis is my favorite sports. I have several sports bras collections in my home but I still want more. I love shopping online at this site. This online store is like a heaven to me because I can easily find many bras and lingerie in this site. They have anything I need for bras, lingerie, panties, sleepwear and many more.

They make their collections complete with several brands so I can easily browse the site to find my favorite brand and product. I bought two nursing bras for my sister last month and it was so simple and easy for me. There were many brands available for me. It was so fun, simple and great. Shopping online at this site helps me in saving my time, my energy and my money. Can you imagine how much time and energy we have to spend when we shop at the traditional store?
