Don't Dare Towel Dry This Dog

GiggleSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 09:26:28 -0700

This little chihuahua has a pet peeve and it's not the household cat. It's even worse. It's getting towel dried. If being cleaned isn't rude enough, then being tortured with a towel is-- and this pup ain't gonna stand for it anymore! (Well, actually, he will stand and be a good dog while his owner rubs him dry, but he'll ferociously growl the entire time. As a warning.)

Ramen: It's Not Just For Dinner!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 12:00:00 -0700

Have these people lost their minds? If stewing in broth and soaking in soy sauce counts as crazy, then yes. But the Ramen Noodle bath is actually a spa treatment offered in Japan (surprise, surprise). Some people believe it cleanses skin and improves metabolism. The noodles aren't edible, but the pork-based broth is the real deal. Sharing brown-colored hot water with a group of strangers? Count me out!

Cute Alert: The Dog, Not Martha

GiggleSugar — Tue, 22 May 2007 07:00:00 -0700

Everyone's favorite "happy" homemaker recently gave Sam the dog a bath on her show. No big deal. That is, until the animal intelligence experts over at Best Week Ever got their hands on the footage and gave a little insight into Sam's scathing subconscious thoughts. He may be cute on the outside, but Sam's got sass.

Basset Hound Couldn't Be Happier

Basset Hounds are the best. They're all depressed and lethargic looking on the outside - even when they're jumping for joy on the inside. It's an endearing quality that makes me want to run over and squeeze some life back into them. Look at Flash here. Bath time is his favorite. It leaves him feeling so fresh, clean, and pleased, he can't help but . . . sit, stare, and frown. Awww.

Ohio Burger King Worker Takes Bath in Utility Sink

Warning: Stop reading if you're still munching on your morning Croissanwich. An unidentified Burger King employee who calls himself "Mr. Unstable" was fired after a MySpace video showed him bathing in a restaurant sink. I don't know what's weirder: That this guy wanted to get naked in a kitchen sink, or that this is how he chose to celebrate his birthday. Check out the video below, and read the rest of the icky tale here.

Calm Your Mind With an Aromatic Bath

DearSugar — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:00:00 -0700

A pure aromatic bath is like no other. It can calm your nerves if you're feeling anxious, relieve stress from a tough day at work, and relax your mind when you're filled with a million thoughts.

When you add soothing oils to the warm water, not only do the scents help transform your spirit, but the oil softens your skin too. I love this Bath Oil Concentrate from Lunaroma. The essential oil content is high so all you need to do is add 5-10 pumps of oil to an already poured bath then soak for as long as you’d like.

It's made with Jojoba and Apricot Kernel, plus pure essential oils in the scent that you choose such as Vanilla Neroli or Cardamon Ginger. Order a bottle from Lunaroma for $22.00 and enjoy!

Cat Takes Bath

I think cats do stuff like this just to mess with us. "Cats don't like water or baths? Ha! That's what you think..."

Cute Alert: What the Flocke?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Remember Flocke? She's no longer the itty-bitty-teddy we met three months ago. Girlfriend's grown up and she's strutting her stuff. Watch Flocke stomp around in unfamiliar territory and then clean up after a tough day's work- being this cute ain't easy, you know? (Let's hope this fame doesn't go to her head as it did for someone else we know. . .)

The How-To Lounge: Shop for the Perfect Bathing Suit

DearSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:30:00 -0700

Summer is just a few weeks away, so it's time to get ready for fun in the sun! Chances are you are going to find yourself at the beach or at a poolside BBQ in the next few months, so I am here to offer some no fail tips to keep in mind when you shop for your new swimsuit. No matter what your size or shape, there is a suit out there to flatter every figure so read more

Avoid shopping for swimwear on the Internet. Most swimsuits are non-refundable so I advise you to shop in person
No matter what size you are, ignore the tag and concentrate on the fit. Just like fitting a bra, you want to make sure the straps don't dig into your shoulders or ride up your back
Regardless of your shape, buy a suit that accentuates your good assets and hides your less favorite parts of your body

If you have a curvy figure...

Avoid ruffles and busy prints. Obviously black is the most flattering color, but don't be afraid to experiment. Use color to your advantage and wear darker tones where you carry the most weight
If you choose to go for a two piece, don't be afraid to show some skin. Some women gravitate to pieces that "hide" their problems areas, where as wearing less can oftentimes be more flattering
If you have a large bust, be sure to wear a top that provides ample support. Halter tops (bikini and one pieces) are the most flattering cut for top heavy women and V-neck is a close second. Stay away from one pieces without built in support and bandeaus
Tankinis are a great option for women who want more coverage without giving up the two piece option. Make sure the top is long enough so it doesn't ride up your stomach

If you are pear shaped...

Don't hide your hips accentuate them! Choose tie sides for easy adjustment and avoid bottoms with extra coverage, you are bound to look bigger that way
If you choose a bikini, opt for a lower raise bottom to create an elongated torso
Stay away from boy shorts and one pieces with tank top straps. Pick v-neck, halter or strapless instead to balance out your curves
If you need extra coverage in the midsection, buy a suit with rushing or pleats and opt for a higher cut thigh if you feel comfortable
Avoid shiny suits as they pick up light and have the ability to show everything

If you have a straight/boy shape...

If you need help creating curves, choose suits with ruffles and extra detailing to create more volume up top
Again, use color and prints to create shape. Stay way from boxy suits, instead wear cuts that are feminine and create the illusion of more curves
Stripes are another good way to play up curves
If you prefer one pieces, pick a low cut front and or back to avoid the Speedo look
If you pick a top with extra padding, make sure they are securely sewn in as they will absorb excess water

I hope you find these tips helpful. Regardless of your size or shape, the one thing to remember to take to the beach is your confidence... oh, and sunscreen! Happy shopping!
