Poop is gross, and I never ever do it. As far as anyone else is concerned, anyway. Like seriously, if you said you’d give me a million dollars to just admit that I do it … I’d have to think about it really, really hard.

Unfortunately, sometimes you don’t have to admit it … the evidence does it for you. How many times have you come out of a one-stall public restroom and said to the next person going in, “It wasn’t me, I swear”? That’s true, what -- half the time? That’s where the ingenious Poo-Pourri comes in.

The website claims “Poo-Pourri is a blend of essential oils that virtually eliminates bathroom odors,” and the tagline read, “Spritz the bowl before you go, and no one else will ever know.”

So when you feel like you need to go (not like you know that feeling, because of course, you never drop the kids off at the pool) (you don’t even know what that means, because you are a lady), you spray the surface of the toilet water with the hand-dandy spritzer. The essential oils create a film over the water, which then traps any unpleasant odors that might otherwise stink up the place.

The company’s latest ad campaign had me cracking up and hopping over to Amazon to order some (for a friend). Take a look:

How awesome does this product look? Can you imagine never having to do the walk of shame from a communal toilet again? Can you think how grateful your guests will be to see this sitting on your bathroom counter? Can you see your grandmother’s face turn bright red as you give her a bottle as a gift? Or maybe she’s the kind of grandma that will nod in approval and say, “About time.” Those grandmas are awesome.

Have you ever tried Poo-Pourri? Would you?

'Real Housewives of Orange County Secrets Revealed': Virgins, Vasectomies and Vicki Gunvalson's Toothless Greek God

So apparently three entire episodes for the Real Housewives of Orange County reunion wasn’t enough. Tonight Bravo took us behind the orange curtain for the RHOC Secrets Reveled special.

Mostly it was more of what we'd already seen -- including those outfits that they STILL didn't change -- but there were a few interesting tidbits thrown in here and there. Here were three of the most surprising.

1. Lydia McLaughlin and her husband were virgins when they married.

And they dated for THREE YEARS before they got married. Good for them. They seem perfectly happy too.

2. Gretchen Rossi and SladeSmiley may get pregnant before they get married.

Gretchen said they're not attempting to reverse Slade's vasectomy, and are planning to do IVF. She said the only question now is will the wedding or the baby come first. I'm betting on the baby -- let the bump watch begin.

3. Vicki Gunvalson may or may not be involved with a toothless Greek God

Lauri Peterson came back out with a pile of proof to continue her attack on Vicki. First she showed off her college degree to prove that she wasn't some helpless, uneducated victim Vicki (who by the way doesn't have a college degree) took under her wing. Then she went off again on Vicki for her romantic indiscretions, and once again brought up the toothless Greek God Vicki was once involved with ...  and still may be. 

Vicki called Lauri a filthy liar, and just when I was inclined to believe Vicki, they rolled tape to a scene on the bus on the way to Whistler. Vicki did imply that the Greek was still in the picture in some way. When she realized the cameras were rolling, she refused to talk about it anymore. What's really going on there is anybody's guess.

Unfortunately, we'll have to keep on guessing until next season as that was a wrap. Another season of RHOC is done and gone, and we can only begin to imagine  what the next one will be bring. 

Which of these revelations surprises you the most?

Olivia Wilde Reveals Her Disgust for Plastic Surgery and 3 Secrets to Amazing Skin

When it comes to fresh faces in Hollywood, Olivia Wilde has got it goin' on. The 29-year-old actress who we all fell in love with as Remy on House has perfectly flawless skin, and lucky for her, she hasn't done any extra procedures to get it that way. Also lucky for her? Because of that young, fresh skin, she can still play any role that spans ages 18 to 35. Hello, opportunity!

In a recent blog for Glamour, the actress expressed her secret to looking young and avoiding plastic surgery. Slamming all the "alien-looking" plastic surgery addicts of today's society, Wilde emphasizes that it is possible to look good without going under the knife. She even goes as far as to give her three token tips to looking your best, and they're actually SUPER simple.

Ready for 'em?

Drink water, sleep eight hours every night, and don't go within 400 feet of a tanning booth. Sounds easy enough, right?

It's not rocket science either. We've all heard that drinking water helps keep skin looking good. When it comes to sleep, a poor night's rest has detrimental effects like a lackluster complexion and increase in fine lines. As for tanning? Hello, ultraviolet radiation! Just don't do it. Don't.

By listening and adopting all three of Wilde's tips, you're at least trying to do something to stay healthy and improve your skin quality. Besides, why would anyone want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on surgery if there are ways to avoid it altogether? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I don't know about all of you, but I most definitely don't have an extra wad of cash at home for beauty purposes only.

Do you have any skin secrets?

Insider Secrets From Lindsay Lohan's Rehab Stay May Surprise You (VIDEO)

Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab and looks, well, pretty amazing by LiLo standards! The buzz surrounding her visit to the Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center is mostly positive, and now, a member of her recovery group, Tommy Tracy, is speaking out about what the troubled actress was really like behind closed doors. He sounds like a screwball jerk to be squawking about LiLo to the press and so quickly. Not cool. But we still had to know what he has to say ...

Tracy told FOX 5, "[Lindsay]'s got a lot of strong talent acting, but there really wasn't acting there. There was really more soul searching there and her inter-development of her well-being and wanting to gain independence for herself." Hmm, seems promising, right?

He continued ...

[She was] really taking Alcoholics Anonymous seriously and wanting things to be different. Really contemplating life, what is really important in life. ... The party is over, and it is pretty much time for her to get serious about what she is doing in her career. I just don't see any signs of it being a problem.

Tommy, whose son got a birthday shout-out from LiLo on Twitter, went on to say he feels like Lindsay's "heart is in the right place. I can honestly tell you she would sit with her little notebook and she would be working on her 12 steps all the time. I have never seen someone so committed to it."

Not to be a total Debbie Downer, but this guy may just want his 15 seconds of fame and feels like he can get that by saying the opposite of what everyone else is saying ...

Unfortunately, not everyone seems to think Lindsay's recovery is a sure thing ... Director Paul Schrader, who worked with Lindsay Lohan on her new movie The Canyons, seems to believe her struggles with alcohol are overplayed, noting that he thinks she's just a "cheap drunk." Instead, he thinks her real problem is an addiction to the ADD prescription drug Adderall. Bret Easton Ellis, known for his big mouth on Twitter and penning The Canyons, seems to feel similarly, noting that he thinks her Adderall use may have made her "bossy" and affected her behavior otherwise on the set.

Meanwhile, Lindsay says she needs the amphetamine to control her severe ADD, and although she was off it in rehab, she reportedly wants her prescription refilled ASAP. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out ... But for LiLo's sake, I hope Tommy Tracy is on to something about her fate.

Here's Tracy's full interview ...

How do you think LiLo will fare post-rehab?

6 Secrets to Staying Sane With Kids -- From a Mom of 16 (VIDEO)

donderdag 18 juli 2013

Being a one and done mom, sometimes I look at my friends who have a bunch of kids and I just watch with an open mouth. I say this with 100 percent sincerity: these women amaze me. Things that make me frantic with just one kid don't seem to faze them at all, and I always wonder if they're privy to some great secret of the universe open only to people who have several kids.

I want to know that secret!

Fortunately, some of these moms are willing to share. Take Kathy Bessmer, a mother of 16 (SIXTEEN!) kids, who recently did an interview with Omaha.com about how her family functions.

Most of us don't have 16 kids, would never have 16 kids (Bessmer herself admits she wanted a big family but never planned on 16 ... it just kind of happened thanks in part to the adoption of three of her brood).

But after reading the article (check it out to see photos of all the kids and how flat this woman's stomach is!), I think I may have a handle on at least a few things those of us with fewer kids should/could be implementing to make life less frenetic. These are my favorites from the Bessmer home:

1. Give kids their own space, and make THEM responsible for it. The basement in the Bessmer home belongs to the kids, and THEY have to care for it. They also have to make their own beds; she refuses to touch them. Technically, my kid has a playroom (shared with my office) and a bedroom, and she's responsible for cleaning each, but I'll admit sometimes I get fed up and just do it for her. I need to stop that! If Kathy Bessmer can, I can too.

2. Don't be afraid to get help. Bessmer is blessed with the gift of music, and she teaches her kids how to play instruments ... but only to a point. The family pays for music teachers as the kids get older. Lesson in there? Just because you CAN do something for your kids doesn't mean you HAVE to. It's OK to farm some of these things out to give yourself breathing room.

3. Make time for yourself. Would you believe a mother of 16 still goes to the gym pretty much every day? I have one kid, and I never get to the gym.

4. Teach them how to do things themselves. I suppose this goes hand-in-hand with the aforementioned "give them a space and make them responsible," but I was impressed to read that Bessmer's 16-year-old is called "Mom" by her friends because of her aptitude at sewing, baking, and balancing a checkbook. Sometimes we forget that our kids COULD do more for themselves, if someone just got them started.

5. Watch your finances but take a vacation. The Bessmers have 16 kids. They make their own laundry detergent at home to save money. But they STILL sock money away every month to take a family vacation.

6. Write things down. Most of us don't need a color-coordinated schedule like Kathy Bessmer (this thing is a work of art!), but to be a mother is to know that your brain is not quite what it used to be pre-kids. Don't be ashamed of the need to put it all down on paper. It may just save your sanity!

Check out this awesome mom in action:

Soooo, do you think you could handle these tips from a mom of 16?
