Play Stylist: What Women’s Perfume Do You Think These Hollywood Celebs Should Wear?

It’s red carpet season and that means we’re seeing not just the celebrities and their winning moments but their fashion choices as well. As our favorite celebs grace the red carpet at the Golden Globes, let’s play stylist and figure out what women’s perfume goes well with their gowns and dresses.

Cate Blanchett – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama)

Always regal and sophisticated, Cate Blanchett won the best performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for her role of Jeanette ‘Jasmine’ Francis in Blue Jasmine, a Woody Allen film. She’s one of the best dressed this season, wearing an elegant black lace dress over a skintone bodice by Armani Privé. The back of the dress has a low dip that accentuates her long spine. For a million dollar Hollywood star that exudes pure sophistication, we’re thinking Emporio Armani Diamonds for Women is the perfect perfume accessory. Emporio Armani Diamonds is created for a woman with grace and timeless beauty.

Jennifer Lawrence – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

A beautiful face you love to see at the red carpet, Jennifer Lawrence is one humble and quirky Hollywood star who instantly rose to fame when she won the best actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at last year’s Oscar. She’s also popular for playing the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies. Although many fashion critics think J. Law’s gown by Dior is a miss this year, she’s still the perfect female star to wear Dior haute couture. While she’s currently Miss Dior’s endorser, we think she could give justice in wearing the playful and romantic Forever and Ever by Christian Dior for Women. After all, she planted a kiss on boyfriend Nicholas Hoult’s lips before accepting her award. Well that’s one romantic ever after for Jennifer.

Kerry Washington – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series (Drama)

Even when pregnant, Kerry Washington never fails to walk on the red carpet with refined style. In fact, she never misses to be part of the best-dressed Hollywood stars. The actress nominee for her role in Scandal proves that she’s not only a beautiful face but a talented artist worthy of a nomination. A white custom-made Balenciaga dress donned Kerry Washington and we think L’eau de Chloe for Women would be a perfect perfume for the mom-to-be. L’eau de Chloe is a subtle, refreshing scent that’s mild – just perfect for a pregnant woman.

Sofia Vergara – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who wouldn’t recognize this Colombian bombshell who’s not only drop-dead gorgeous with all those curves but downright funny, especially in her role in Modern Family? A nominee in this year’s Golden Globes, Sofia gave good justice to Zac Posen’s creation. The black, strapless ball gown, flawless hair and makeup, perfect complexion, her megawatt smile and her cleavage definitely dominated the red carpet. Sofia Vergara looks like a Latina princess, that’s why Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez is the right perfume choice for her. This alluring scent is dreamy, combining fruity and floral scents enclosed in a perfume bottle shaped in a woman’s body.

Tooth Extraction With Abscess, Is It Safe?

First born complained of tooth ache.. err no.. he was not just complaining, he’s wailing! He asked for tooth extraction.. he said he can’t bear the pain anymore..poor kid 🙁

Before we went to the dentist, I asked a few friends kung safe ba magpabunot ng ngipin kahit masakit or kung may maga?

Most of the answered no and the dentist said the same thing. Why? according to the dentist, the anesthesia won’t work if the patient is experiencing pain.. eh kung mataas ang pain tolerance? Hindi pa rin safe.. why?

The dentist explained that when an abscessed tooth is pulled out, the pus in the infection can go inside the root and can lead to a more serious infection. The dentist advised that my son take antibiotics for the infection and pain killer for the pain.

She prescribed Amoxicillin and Dolfenal for pain. She said to continue taking Dolfenal for 2 days even if there is no more pain since the med is also anti inflammatory.

Dolfenal contains mefenamic acid and is used for: (from Unilab website)

For the symptomatic relief of mild to moderately severe pain including headache, dental pain, post-operative and postpartum pain, primary dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pain associated with cancer;
For the symptomatic relief of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis;
For the treatment of soft tissue rheumatism, sprain/swelling of tendons (tendonitis) and low back pain

Still, he can’t have tooth extraction when the pain and the infection subsides.. according to the dentist, he needs to wait until he’s 12 before an extraction can be done. And to prevent tooth ache from happening again, the dentist advised the use of Mouthwash often and of course proper care of teeth such as brushing after eating.

Could You Be a World Champion at your Favourite Board Game?

Wouldn’t it be great to be a world champion at something? Sure, you might not run as fast or jump as high as some world famous athletes but there must be something you are incredibly good at.

For example, maybe you an absolute whizz at your favourite board game. Have friends and relatives started grumbling that you are always giving them a sound thrashing every time you play? If this is the case then maybe it is time to see whether you have the skills to become a true world champion.

The Monopoly World Championships

Like the football World Cup, this global event is held every 4 years and attracts players from all round the planet. It started out in the mid-70s and seems to be a really serious business. The last tournament I can find details on was in 2009, so presumably there was one in 2013 as well. Back in 2009 the event was held in Las Vegas and the winner was a Norwegian chap called Bjørn Halvard Knappskog. If you are confident that you always buy the right property at the right time then you need to contact Hasbro to find out how to enter.

The Scrabble World Championships

The great thing about the world championships for Scrabble is that there are different ones for different languages. If English isn’t your strongest language then there are also French and Spanish versions too. In the English version, players joust to find the longest and highest scoring words every couple of years. The 2013 championship was held in Prague and won by a New Zealand master wordsmith by the name of Nigel Richards. Over 100 competitors tend to take part every year, so you will need to be sure of your ability to make words out of random series of letters against a big field of rivals. If you don’t fancy your chances of coming up with huge words then you could try making up your own board game at admagic.com/custom-board-games.html and getting a world championship event started.

The Draughts World Championship(s)

You need to be careful when entering for this event, as there are two different world championships with similar names. If what you are a genius at is checkers then you want the English Draughts World Championship, while the other one is the International Draughts World Championship. This is a great board game which also has world rankings for its players. This means that you could have the pleasure of seeing how you shoot up the rankings with every victory you pull off.

Backgammon World Championships

Is backgammon your thing? Hey, they’ve got a tournament for that too. This world championship has been on the go since 1967 and there is even a European Backgammon tour you could look to get involved in. If you sometimes watch Eurosport you might even have caught the impressive final of the World Series of Backgammon Championship one time. €160,000 was up for grabs in this event, so it is obviously a serious business. If you want a great trip to go with your backgammon tournament then the week long European Open event held in Monte Carlo is massively popular. Alternatively, you could head to the Bahamas for an alternative tournament. It looks like a fun life being a competitive backgammon player.

Shogi World Championships

Maybe you would like to try your hand at something completely different. Shogi is also known as Japanese Chess and there is a big tournament held in Japan regularly. You should be warned though that there are professional players in Japan who have been playing this hugely complex board game for years. You are going to need a lot of practise if you are going to take them on and hope to emerge victorious.

Hnefatafl World Championships

For something even more intriguing you might want to try and become a world champion at hnefatafl. This is an ancient Viking game which died out around the time of the first crusade. Enthusiasts have been working for the last few years to understand and modernise the rules of this chess-like game. Now that this has been done there is even a world championship you can try and win. Where it is held? Bizarrely, the tiny and sparsely populated Shetland Island of Fetlar is where you can try your luck. The 2013 championships happened in July, with adults paying £5 to enter and kids joining in with the medieval fun for free. Getting there might be the most complicated part of all. The travelling instructions to Fetlar sound pretty complicated even if you are already in another part of the Shetland Islands, with a number of interconnecting ferries needed.

Bob Emerald loves his board games and sets his goals at being the worlds ultimate kerplunk champion.
