Happy Birthday Cancer!

You certainly have a unique style and look. People try to imitate your distinctive appearance and approach, but usually can't come close. That's because your exterior is a reflection of your unique attitudes and emotions. You truly wear your heart on your sleeve - and it shows. Moody or brooding at times, you're also deeply romantic - often hauntingly so. People have a difficult time forgetting you or substituting others in your place. You've been known to leave a trail of broken hearts and unrequited love in your wake.

6 Steps to Get a Brighter Smile Today

A top cosmetic dentist shares her secrets to whitening your teeth throughout the day.

By Kate Schweitzer

A bright smile is a high priority for most women, but that doesn't mean they're willing to spend thousands of dollars — and hours in the dentist's chair — on a high-tech professional whitening treatment.

So, what's a girl to do to get those pearly whites?

It doesn't take much, according to top New York City cosmetic dentist Elisa Mello. Here, some quick fixes you can do throughout the day to get instant results:

In the Morning

If you like using whitening strips but don't like sitting around for the 10 minutes they're doing their magic, then multitask. "Use over-the-counter whitening strips and whiten while you wake up in the shower," Mello recommends.

At Lunch

Swish water in your mouth for 30 seconds right after eating to help prevent stains from food, she says. Better yet? Keep a bottle of mouthwash at your desk, so you have it readily available.

During a Midday Snack

If cravings hit, chomp on apples, pears, strawberries, celery, or carrots. "Any raw fruit or vegetable that happens to produce saliva will help remove bacteria and whiten your teeth," she tells Marie Claire.

After Work

When going out for the night, opt for a lipstick that will make your teeth appear brighter instantly. Lipsticks with blue undertones — rose, red, burgundy, and plum shades — work best. But be careful when choosing a hue with orange undertones. Those "can make your teeth appear dull and yellow," Mello says.

At Dinner

When you finish your meal, pop in some whitening gum, which contains stain-removing calprox. Still, any gum will work. Because it stimulates saliva flow, it will act as a natural detergent.

Before Bed

Just like it's a bad habit to go to sleep without removing your makeup, don't hit the sheets until you brush — and try to get in a quick flossing session while you're at it.

Eclipse Time

June 20, 2010
To my friends:
This month begins a new eclipse season. We will have two eclipses very soon, a lunar eclipse on June 26 in Capricorn (full moon) and the other will arrive as a solar eclipse in Cancer (new moon) on July 11.
If you haven't read my June 2010 forecast on Astrology Zone that I have prepared for you, please do, for the first eclipse that is arriving this month might turn out to be quite intense for the world. If you are within a certain mathematical range, you might feel the eclipse in a more personal way.

The Power Of Beliefs by Avananda

Throughout history great mystics have tried to show mankind the tremendous power of beliefs. Believing, without a shred of doubt that something impossible, is possible, is how miracles are created. The miracle of your everyday life has been brought about by the same power of belief whether you are aware of it or not.
