Deane Sheremet has filed for divorce from LeAnn Rimes after separating three months ago. People.com reports that Sheremet sites “irreconcilable differences” in his filing from the country singer, to whom he was married for eight years. The marriage ended when Rimes started having a relationship with then co-star Eddie Cibrian, who was also married at the time to Brandi Glanville (Cibrian and Glanville are in the process of divorcing.) Sheremet, 29, is seeking spousal support from Rimes, 27, and wants her to pay the attorney fees. They have no children together.
Jen Lancaster has it all- loving boyfriend, good family and friends, a high paying corporate job, designer labels, and a wicked sense of humor. She walks though life with her sarcastic filled sentences, not afraid to cut down others (or herself- she refers to herself once as “Carbohydrate Barbie”) but that all comes to a sudden halt when she is laid off from her cushy position. A year goes by, and with the economy suffering after the 9/11 attacks, Jen finds herself still without a job after one year. The only thing keeping her alive is the occasional (and I do mean occasional) temp job and her loving husband Fletch. Until Fletch loses his job. They cannot believe it- but they have to sell their beautiful spacious penthouse and move to the not-so-fabulous side of Chicago. And sell her designer clothes. And stop going to the salon. Jen cannot believe the twist life has thrown at her, but through all the hardships she endures, she realizes how lucky she is. She has great parents, a loving and supportive husband, and new perspective on life. Who needs to get weekly manicures? Who needs to have dozens and dozens of high end beauty products? Jen Lancaster pens a hilarious memoir of her struggles that will keep readers laughing out loud until the end. There is even a nice life lesson that we can all take away from getting an inside look of Lancaster’s ordeal. Her bold commentary and larger than life personality that shines through the pages will have readers wanting more from this sarcastic and witty author.
If you’re like me, you are constantly trying out new mascara’s to find that perfect one for your lashes. Unfortunately, I was not given the gift of long, beautiful eyelashes, so instead I turn my attentions to going through different mascara’s like water. What is the best kind? Do vibrating mascaras really de-clump the clumps? I saw that Shape Magazine came out with an article explaining the different types of brushes and what their main focuses are, so I can tie in some of that information with my experience. First, what did not work for me. Covergirls’s Lash Blast. My lashes were neither lengthened nor volumized. And, this mascara was incredibly hard for me to get off with my usual makeup remover. I would not recommend that for anyone! One of my new favorites is L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara. On one end of the wand is a white primer, and that goes on the lashes first. On the opposite end is black mascara, with “tubes” that slide on to your lashes, giving more length. I found this one to work really for me; it definitely gives more definition to my lashes. The only problem I have found so far with it is getting it off! When you use your makeup remover you can see the tubes coming off, but it is somewhat difficult to break them away from the lashes. Other than that, I really enjoy the length, though the volume was lacking. Another new favorite is Maybelline’s Pulse Perfection Mascara. This has the vibrating wand, and I found it to give me both length and volume. When there is a clump of mascara, I put the bristles over the clump and hit the vibrating button, moving the wand slowly over the lashes. The clump disappears almost instantly! This mascara was a tad on the expensive side, but the results were worth it to me. My absolute favorite has got to be Maybelline’s XX-Treme Length Microfiber Mascara. It is similar to the Double Extend, with one side of the wand being primer, the other lengthening mascara, but the results (to me) are phenomenal. This is has been my #1 mascara for years, and Maybelline keeps improving and inventing new features to make it even better. (There is now Discipline Gel that helps uncross lashes!) And it is simple to get off with makeup remover, no pulling or tugging on my lashes. I will recommend this to anyone wanting to get some more length to their lashes! Shape’s mascara article recommended using small bristles if you have short lashes, because it will be easier to get closer to the eye. And the smaller the bristles, the more control you will have.
