ooooh Jeremy Irons. 

It's the sexy voice that gets me every time.

if you haven't physically done anything to your toe, its most probably not broken. It's more likely that you bruised your nail and now its all purple and painful. I've had this in both big toes because of tight shoes. 

It depends on how he does it. My boyfriend does it just to tease me (in a nice way) and I laugh along with it. I think if I got pissed off about it, that's when he'd become more mean about stuff like that. If you're boyfriend is actually leering at these women (whether friends, other girls or celebrities) then I think it's time to dump him ;p

I've always loved the name Danaë (pronounced Da-na-ee) which is a Greek name. My mom was going to call me this but at my dad's begging, they named me after my grandma - Katerina.

I like both names :)

I personally think that the frame size is very inaccurate. I'm of a medium build as I am quite tall but not of the tallest or biggest people that I know, yet I am not petite either. Nevertheless, my fingers do overlap on both my wrists, only because my wrists are tiny!

my advice is to go see a doctor and get a test to see whether you have a bladder infection or even a vaginal infection, which can go away with antibiotics. You don't want to have consequences because it seems as if that tampon was in for a looong time (and thankfully you didn't get toxic shock syndrome as someone mentioned above). 

hope this helps!

Extra virgin is the best :) I bought virgin once and i hated the taste of it! Then my parents came to visit and bought me a huge tub of extra virgin Greek olive oil (I'm Greek btw ;p). It has such a different taste than any other oil and I can't think of anything I would switch it with. For example, my mom usually uses sunflower oil to make popcorn, but I use olive oil, just because I like it.

I guess the whole canola oil or other oil switch would be because it has slightly less calories and is less dense overall than olive oil. Loads of research has gone into it and has shown that olive oil actually is really really good for you. I guess if you watch your calories it's worth the better taste (and health benefits!) in the end.

About the spout thing.. I get the same! I've been looking everywhere for a food safe spray bottle to put my oil in so I get less whenever I use it :(

Good luck!

It depends really on the person. I tend to eat after I workout because eating before makes me nauseous, just like you. Some people eat only a small snack before workout to boost their energy which may be beneficial in the morning seeing as you need something to keep you going. Perhaps you can try eating something small and then waiting for about an hour or so until the food has digested. I doubt it makes a difference eating before or after a workout, it's really a matter of choice.

Hope this helps!

I've read somewhere that it's a body response to whatever's missing. So for example if your blood sugar is low, you may crave donuts or something similar. Personally I believe it's mental cravings rather than real. Happens mostly when you cut out foods and then just feel the 'need' to eat because it's forbidden.

I fluently speak Greek and English, and I used to fluently speak German, Dutch, French and Arabic. I stopped speaking them after I left school and never got to practice again. I can pretty much understand French and German and pretty much converse in basic Dutch, but no more Arabic for me, except for a couple of words!

The only thing that happens is that your appetite changes. Weight gain will only happen if you don't take care of your calorie intake and just eat all day :p

I've been on Yasmin for about 5 months now and I haven't noticed any weight gain at all.

You could have what's called tonsilloliths - little pieces of calcified foods stuck in your throat. They're not harmful but they can cause bad breath and a weird taste in the mouth, even if you do brush your teeth. I knew two people who had them and they mentioned the same symptoms as you're having. Go to the doc and make him/her check out the back of your throat, you may have something stuck there.

Good luck!

The lady at the store told me these tips

1. When trying on a bra, close the strap at the outermost hook. That way when the bra stretches due to wear and tear, you can just move it up a hook or two

2. Make sure the front of the strap is snug against your chest. If the chest size smaller than the one you tried is too tight, then that means you need to go up one more chest size and make sure you have the right cup. If it still has a space in between your chest and the bra, it means the cup is too small and your boobs are pushing against the bra and creating that gap.

3. Put your fingers on the underwire and push towards your back - if your fingers touch your ribs then its a good fit, if they touch your boob.. not good.

4. Make sure that you don't have 6 boobs as teeshah mentioned above. A good fit gives you excellent cleavage and gives you really good support.

If you like the taste and don't mind the extra bit of calories per day, go for the 2%. Personally I've gotten used to the 0% and it has the exact same nutrients as full fat milk (I've looked at the list!) but without the extra fat.

For all those with lactose intolerance - try finding milk without lactose, it exists! My friend has lactose intolerance and buys lactose free milk and she says it tastes wonderful. Here in the UK I haven't seen fresh lactose free milk, but she comes from Finland and says you can find fresh milk there.

I second thyme828's theory about the lower dosage. I take Yasmin and it does wonders for my skin complexion! Maybe try going back on it and see which you feel more comfortable on :)

Good luck!
