Cleaning mirrors and glass can be a pain; streaks, steam and stains can drive you up the wall. These quick and economical cleaning tips are really helpful and will always ensure you can see yourself in your windows and mirrors, what more could you want!

Mirrors

  • The best way to clean mirrors is to use water mixed with washing up liquid and then to wipe it down with kitchen paper. No need to drench it – a little will do. Use more kitchen paper to really bring out that shine and get rid of any streaks.
  • Does it take longer than you have for your mirror to defog after a shower? Use a cloth or kitchen paper and use some shaving foam for a quick fix.

Windows

  • The best way to clean a window is simple, economic and works wonders. Just mix some water with plain old white vinegar, tear up a newspaper and get to work! Soak some of the newspaper in the vinegar mixture and clean all your windows, using extra newspaper to dry and bring up a great shine.

Melissa, former child star of Little House on the Prairie was asked last night on US TV show Watch what happens live how she would react if she past Charmed star Shannen Doherty in the street and she answered: “I wouldn’t say anything; I’d just punch her in the nose”.

The animosity between the two women all began in the early nineties when Shannen was accused of having a one-night stand with Melissa’s ex- husband Bo Brinkman, which was revealed by Melissa in her 2010 book, Prarie Tales. 

Let’s hope Shannen steers clear of her on the streets then; hell hath no fury and all that!

Soup is great for bulk-making those weekly lunches – just cook ahead of time and store in the fridge or freezer. Healthy and satisfying, this soup is great with brown bread on those cold winter days.

What you need:

  • 2 carrots
  • 1 onion
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 leek
  • 1 parsnip
  • fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
  • salt and pepper

What you do:

  1. Chop the onion, carrot, parsnip, leek and celery into pieces; you’ll be blending it anyway so it doesn’t need to be perfect.
  2. Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan and add all the veg. Cook for about 5 minutes and season well.
  3. Add the tbsp of bouillon powder and cover the veg with boiling water.
  4. Cook over low-medium heat until the veg has softened.
  5. Add the chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Allow to cool and use a hand-blender to blend the soup.
  7. Serve with your favourite brown bread.

1. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Affectionately known as Bennifer, this couple were the ultimate papparazzi dream from 2002 to 2004. We love J-Lo but she did seem like a bit of a, dare we say it, bunny boiler in this relationship. We bet Ben is looking over at Jennifer Garner in this photo.

 2. Ashley and Cheryl Cole
Get your claws away from our favourite Geordie, Ashley and take your adulterating and disgusting ways somewhere else! We loved how her besties from Girls Aloud came together and took Cheryl on a holiday when everything came out – now that is the only true love you need, ladies!

3. Kate Moss and Pete Doherty
The model dated Pete for about two years on and off and was caught up in an alleged cocaine scandal, causing massive brands such as H&M, Chanel and Burberry to drop her from their campaigns. We’re glad this one ended before things turned really ugly.

4. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Living up to his surname, Spencer wreaked havoc among The Hills girls and ripped the jugular from their friendship. Technically Speidi are still going strong, but we included them because they are still so, so annoying. Also, this picture is priceless.

5. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
After Tom jumped on Oprah’s couch in a strange and frankly mental display of his love for Katie Holmes, the whole world was slightly uneasy with Tomkat who split in 2012.

Kim Kardashian is well on her way to becoming a ‘size zero’ bride for her soon-to-be hubby, Kanye West.

It has been reported that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has been working extremely hard to shed her post-pregnancy weight AND pre-pregnancy weight so it’s only a matter of time before we say farewell to those luscious curves – oh no.

Well known for her hourglass figure, the 33-year-old will stop at nothing to slim down for her big day.

She put herself on a strict Atkins diet and admits that it’s not easy, but when she feels like giving up, her haters keep her going:

‘The haters helped motivate me. Seeing every crazy thing written about me gave me motivation, but it’s just my personality to want to be fit, not be lazy.’

This is a really easy recipe to put together. It’s basically hardening melted chocolate, but by adding  a few ingredients you can make it a little more special. Wrap it in a ribbon or put it in a cute box with some coloured paper for the perfect gift.

What you’ll need: 

  • 300g good quality dark chocolate
  • 100g almonds
  • coarse sea salt

What you’ll need to do: 

  1. Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Lightly toast the almonds under the grill, keeping a close eye because you don’t want them to burn.
  3. Remove and when cool, coarsely chop the almonds – you want a good mixture of big and small pieces and you can even leave some whole.
  4. In a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering, water melt the chocolate.
  5. Combine half the chopped almonds with the chocolate.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly over the baking tray and sprinkle the remaining almonds on top.
  7. Leave to harden overnight or for about 2-3hrs.
  8. Sprinkle the coarse sea salt over the chocolate bark, break into pieces and serve.

You’ve probably been blaming your lack of will power every time you break your diet, but new research shows that the relationship you have with food actually depends on your ‘eating personality’.

Apparently, the main cause of our failed diets is not that we didn’t have will power; instead, our dieting downfalls depend on whether we’re ‘rushers’, ‘pickers’ or have another type of ‘eating personality’.

‘Rushers’ are women who don’t make great diet choices because they don’t have enough time – they usually resort to ready-made meals.

‘Pickers’ snack in between meals, while ‘bingers’ are the ones who starve themselves for ages and then down a colossal amount of food in one go.

Other personalities include ‘comfort eaters’ who use food as a reward, ‘socialisers’ who eat huge amounts when out with friends and ‘settlers’ who put on weight when they’re in a relationship.

Dieting just became even more complicated…
