What does your smile say?

A professor of psychology, Matthew Hertenstein, did some research to see if by just looking at children's childhood school photographs, he could predict who would get divorced sometime in their lives. To do this he looked at photographs in hundreds of school yearbooks (childhood and adolescent photos) of people who are now 55. With this he saw that children who looked unhappy were the people who got divorced, not like the ones that smiled. Of course many children can fake smiles, so he checked if when the child smiled, the muscle that pulls up the lip was contracted, as well as the orbicularis oculi (because the muscle that makes the smile can be seen in the eye). But Matthew conceded that this is not completely true. The smile, or lack thereof, do not define exactly if your life is going to be one way or another.

I was really surprised when I saw this. I had never thought before that your smile can define (in a way) your future. But I don't agree with this a lot. Everyone can have bad days; you can look horrible in the picture, when actually you were happy. Or you could have had a bad day the day before and then you took the picture and you looked horrible. Or maybe you were always sad but that special person you married made you change and it lasted for ever. I know this is a study and so everything is real, and that a smile can hide many things, but I don't think it can describe our future.

                                                                   

Princess Diana, Rihanna's style icon

Rihanna has a not very common style, yet lately many stars use it. They don't cover their clothes a lot and some people say not very nice things about them. But they don't seem to care a lot of the comments.


Not many people would have ever thought Rihanna saying "She killed it", talking about Princess Diana. She said that everything the Princess wore looked good on her and she states that she loves the hats and oversize jackets she used to wear. Describing her says "she was a gangsta with her clothes". But people does not have a good reaction to all her words like "she killed it", "she was a gangsta" about a princess and say she is a disgrace. Personally, I do agree with them because honestly, you can't say stuffs like this to a magazine nor talk about a famous princess in this way. It doesn't matter how famous she is, she should have more appropiate words I think.

Rihanna also says she started to admire fashion because of her mother, that she kick-started her, as she used to watch her get dressed. "she was so fly. So fly", says about her mother.


Who would have ever thought as Rihanna admiring Princess Diana's style? I wouldn't! But the truth is that Diana's style was actually beautiful and with glamour. She was so cool and I do like her too!

Jennifer Lawrence's new sister

I guess you know who is Rebel Wilson, better known lately as "Fat Amy" in Pitch Perfect. This girl normally makes comic movies and she is actually really funny. She always makes me laugh and so she does to all the people around me, so I guess she makes everyone who watches her laugh around the world. She is great.

Well, some days ago I was in Youtube searching one video and this one suddenly appeared. I took a look and as usually, it made me laugh. In this short video of 1 minute 44 seconds from MTV, she acts like she is Jennnifer Lawrence's sister. I found it very funny. Take a look by yourself!

It doesn't count as a post!

Weirdest weather

This year, the weather has been a bit weird; it was cold until approximately June and now, in November, it is still hot.

The winter lasted many months and I can remember how people were wearing jackets when years ago in the same month they were wearing shirts. I know there are currently problems with the climatic changes on this planet and this may be the reason this is happening but anywyas, it's strange. 

I like it when it's cold. Obviously, I don't like it when it's freezing but when I can wear sweaters, scarfs, gloves... I simply prefer this than sweating or things like this. So to me, it was actually really good when it was colder. 

But all of this didn't make the heat last less. The truth is that the months of heat are having its time. What was known as "Autumn" seems like it's not shown this year. I can clearly see people around me wearing shirts in the middle of November. In the morning it's a bit cold lately but during the mid-morning it's ot again, and it lasts until it's night, where it's a bit colder. I guess we are in the change of season right now and that's why it can be very hot or very cold in the same day. 

Breakfast: yes or not?

Some recent reports linked skipping breakfast to obesity, diabetes and others things like catching flu. In addition, men who don't have breakfast are more likely to suffer heart attacks or heart disease. 

According to an expert, Dr Neil Standley, when we wake up our body gets ready for daytime so the hormones release and that makes us feel hungry. But this is more common to people who normally go to sleep at the same time and more or less soon, because to people that stay up late and then have problems to wake up, don't feel hungry until some hours later, so it's recommended to go to sleep every night at the same time.

Breakfast is one of three important daily meals and that's why, if you'd skip it, then you would be hungry at mid-morning and then you would get a snack. As you would have eaten not many hours ago, you wouldn't be hungry for lunch, so you wouldn't have a proper meal and you would be hungry by mid-afternoon. Then you would have another snack and this would be always the same, because not eating the enough energy and food makes us need it and feel uncomfortable, and this has its consequences because when you get snack, most of the times isn't a healthy one. 

In one study they noticed when someone didn't have breakfast, they ate 20 per cent more at lunch because they were hungry and were more likely to seek unhealthier and high-calorie foods. This is because humans, after a priod of fasting, are primed to seek sugary and fatty foods.

Some examples of breakfast that are shown in the text and that have less than 300 calories (enough number of calories to stop you overeating later) are: 

-bowl of porridge with honey

-bowl of Special K cereal with milk 

-boiled egg with a slice of wholemeal toast

I really recommend you to read this report because it's very interesting and helful. I found it simple, but effective.

Easter wonder

Once upon a time, a little girl called Poppy was very very happy because finally had arrived her favourite time in the year: Easter. She used to live in a little town known as Eggietown. The whole town was very excited about these days and like every year, they made a big party for this time.

One morning, Poppy's family had the typical Easter breakfast. They were all together in Poppy's house and had a lot of fun. Her cousins Jamie and Tom and he twins Nicklas and Leonie came also to the party. For breakfast her mother made eggs with bacon, apple pie and a lot of special food for that day. They all loved mummy's food, she was a great cook!

After eating, the cousins went to the garden to look after the eggs. Their parents used to hide the eggs and chocolate rabbit for their kids and so they did that year too.

Poppy was afraid of the old story about the Easter witch; the story tells that long time ago, there was a little girl that used to love this time of the year. But that one year she went to the forest to find her easter eggs but her mother, a cruel woman with no love in her heart, had stolen all the eggs for her little daughter, so she couldn't find any. She was very sad and began to hate this time of the year which for her classmates was the most wonderful.

Since that day, people say that the girl enchanted all the easter eggs with a black point in the middle. The kids that find these special eggs are forever enchanted and are closed in this egg for a long long time. In these eggs, there is another world inside; and horrible place with a big castle in the middle of a dark forest. The witch lives there with her handsome son Prince Tristan and all her slaves which are the kids that one time had found her eggs.

Poppy ran away to search for her eggs -like she used to do every year- and she found the biggest one over a tree. It was a beautiful pink egg with a little black point in the middle. She could not resist to cllimb up the tree and take the beautiful egg to show it to her cousins, but before going down the tree something strange happened. After a few minutes she woke up in a forest: she was insde the egg.

She felt very lonely and she was sad, but suddenly a white horse with a young gentleman rode to her. It was love at first sight, but there, she didn't know he was the handsome son of the witch. Prince Tristan helped her to stand up and he brought her to his home. After a few minutes riding the horse, Poppy realized where she was: she was in the enchanted forest!

The witch asked her son to bring the girl to her castle to see her. The women already had a job for her, which was being the new cook for her son. Poppy knew that these were horrible news, but she was in love and she wanted to stay there with her Prince.

After a short time, the witch realized there was something special between both, so she sent Poppy back home. She woke up in her bed, and she couldn't remember anything from the last day. But she knew something was missing: her Prince.

Tristan couldn't live anymore without Poppy, so he fought with his mother and went out the egg to find his love. In this other world he wasn't anymore a prince: now he was the new boy of town.

On his first day of school, Poppy and Tristan fell in love because they noticed there was something special between them, like they had met a long time ago, and so they were happy forever and ever.
