Eat pray wash-up

Like, it would seem, almost every woman in the world I read Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love and like a good deal of them I loved it. Gilbert's description of finding herself and God during her travels filled me with awe. But I was also jealous. I wanted to eat the best pizza in the world in Italy. I wanted to hang out with a wise but quirky medicine man in Bali. And i also really wanted to trascend human consicouness through meditation in India. Unlike Gilbert though I have a part time office job and a husband and 2year old who I wouldn't leave for all the pizza in Italy.

David Walliams has 'Smiling Depression'. Do you?

As one of the UK’s most popular and enduring comedians, David Walliams has confessed that he’s suffered many bouts of depression during his life, where rather than allow it to show to others, he has masked his sadness with a well-rehearsed veneer of jollity and a gung-ho attitude. Indeed, he is just one of a long list of comedians who have suffered in the same way. Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Bill Oddie, Jack Dee, Lenny Henry and Ruby Wax have all admitted battling depression during their careers. It’s the ‘tears of a clown’ syndrome.

'I lack confidence in my body shape...'

Question: Dear Dan, With the weather warming up, all my friends are dusting off their summer wardrobes, bringing out the light dresses and, inevitably, slightly more revealing clothes. I genuinely dread this time of year because I just don't feel I have the figure to carry off summer clothing. In my younger days it was never a problem but recently I have built up a real complex about it. I would never dream of wearing a dress that reveals even a glimpse of bare leg, for example. When summer comes around I find myself ducking out of social events - drinks after work etc - simply because I can't face a) wearing summer-style clothing or b) wearing clothes that leave me hot and bothered in the warm weather. A friend who I confided in has said I shouldn't worry and I should celebrate my shape but I just have no confidence whatsoever. Any advice? Grace.

How to protect your skin from the sun

There are five golden rules to help protect you and your family from the damage the sun can cause. In turn, this will reduce your risk of skin cancer

http://www.ivillage.co.uk/how-protect-your-skin-the-sun/79116

Make sure you never sunburn

The two types of UV rays that can damage skin are UVA and UVB. UVA penetrates deeply into your skin and causes it to age, wrinkle and sag. It can make you look ten years older! Scientists now believe UVA rays can also cause skin cancer

http://www.ivillage.co.uk/make-sure-you-never-sunburn/79117

Stay in the shade

Over the summer months, one of the best ways to avoid the sun's harmful UV rays is to find shade under trees, umbrellas, canopies or indoors. UV rays are invisible and cannot be felt on the skin. They penetrate deeply into our cells, causing changes that lead to sunburn, skin ageing, eye damage and skin cancer

http://www.ivillage.co.uk/stay-in-the-shade/79118

Using a sunscreen

There will always be times when you're out in the sun without adequate shade or cover-up clothing. This is when sunscreen is useful for protecting exposed skin from the sun's rays. Sunscreen alone will not protect completely from sun damage and you should never use sunscreen in order to spend longer in the sun. It should be used to increase your protection
