Simple Tricks for Whiter Teeth

I have written before on teeth whitening, and covered ideas such as whitening strips and dentist visits to get your pearly whites even more, well pearlier. But the May edition of Prevention magazine says you don’t need expensive bleaches or UV lasers to get the desirable white teeth. You can follow two simple tricks to make your teeth look even whiter than they might be. The first tip: Avoid gold necklaces and earrings. The tone can pick up and enhance the yellow on your teeth. And the second tip: Wear lipstick with a blue undertone, such as a berry color. These colors will counteract any of the yellow. Even better? Clinique has 12 shades of lipsticks that are proven to whiten by at least one shade. Check out your best color of Clinique’s Brighter Smile Lip Colour Collections!

Sandra Bullock Files For Divorce, Adopts Son

Sandra Bullock has officially filed for a divorce, ending her five year marriage to Jesse James. People.com exclusively broke the relationship news, and also reported the actress has adopted a 3 ½ year old son, Louis.
Louis Bardo Bullock was born in New Orleans, and Bullock and James began the adoption process four years ago. They brought Louis home in January, but had decided to keep their baby news a secret until after the Oscars- until Jesse James’ affair allegations were reported. Bullock has confirmed to People.com that she is finishing up the adoption paperwork as a single parent.
Jesse James has released a statement through People.com on Sandra’s decision to file the divorce. “My whole life has been full of hard decisions.”

“The decision to let my wife end our marriage, and continue the adoption of Louis on her own, has been the hardest. The love I have for Louis cannot be put to words. Not having him around to love and to hold has left a huge hole in my heart.

“Sandy is the love of my life, but considering the pain and devastation I have caused her, it would be selfish to not let her go. Right now it is time for me to beat this addiction that has taken two of the things I love the most in life.

“I have always taken great pride in proving people wrong. That time has come once again to show that I am not what everyone says I am. I know in my heart that I can be the best father possible to my four children, and the mate Sandy deserves, and realize that this is an incredible mountain to climb. But I believe that the steps I have taken in the last 30 days are the foundation for making this happen. The lifelong commitment I am making is what being a real husband and father is all about.

“I ask that you please do not judge Sandy for the things I have done. She has done no wrong. She played no part in any of this. She has been an amazing wife, mother, and best friend, for the over 6 years we have been together.”
