Top tips of the month
Clean your shoes with a banana!
No shoe polish? No problem, as long as you have a banana! That's right, you can go polish your shoes with this yellow crescent of unparalleled beauty because bananas contain a key ingredient found in commercial shoe polishes - potassium.
Here's how. Peel a banana. Take the fruit out and eat it if you like, just make sure you keep the skin. Apply the skin. Using the inner lining of the banana skin, begin to rub it all over your shoes, just as you would if you were using polish. They'll come up shiny and almost like new again: perfectly polished shoes, organic style.
The natural oils in the banana soak into the leather, helping your shoes to last longer, whilst potassium, a key ingredient in commercial shoe polish, is found in abundance in bananas!.
Food of the Month!
Eating tuna, salmon, or other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids once a day as part of a weight-loss plan can help you lose weight and improve your overall health, Australian researchers report.
Research suggests that omega-3's protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, cod and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Participants in the study lost weight, lowered their cholesterol levels and reduced their risk factors for diabetes.
Fish oil supplements provide another option. However, daily fish consumption offers greater benefits because as fish consumption increases, meat consumption likely decreases, resulting in a decrease in total dietary fat intake.

Dolce & Gabbana host screening of Madonna's latest film.
Anyone who's anyone was at the IFC Centre in New York last night for the Cinema Society and Dolce & Gabbana's screening of Filth and Wisdom, Madonna's first project as a director.
It's a musical, drama comedy starring Richard E Grant and Eugene Huntz of uber cool gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello, about an aspiring Ukrainian rock star. Madonna in fact became so close to Eugene during the filming of the movie that he even played live at her 49th Birthday party last summer.
Her madgesty wore Dolce & Gabbana for the occasion - naturally - as did a heavily pregnant Naomi Watts and Lindsay Lohan, who launched her own leggings collection in NYC yesterday too.
Simply Madonna: Materials of the Girl
As famous, if not more so, for her wardrobe as her number one hits, the world has watched Madonna's style evolve throughout her career. And now there will be an exhibition in London charting her many incarnations from punky pop princess to Evita and more.
In February 2009, East London's Old Truman Brewery will host 'Simply Madonna: Materials of the Girl' showcasing many of her most iconic stage costumes and the clothes she has worn in various videos and film.
Amongst them, the wedding dress she wore in the 'Like a Virgin' video, the famous Marilyn Monroe-esque pink ball gown from the 'Material Girl' video and the baseball kit she wore in the film, 'A League of their Own'.
Curator of the exhibition, Ted Owen, says of the collection, ''These are museum-quality pieces – but they will be presented in-keeping with the glamour and sense of theatre that the queen of pop has made her trademark – and Madonna fans should be very excited indeed.'The house of Balenciaga 
After a long break from the beauty business, has signed an exclusive deal with Coty Prestige to launch new fragrances.
The partnership, announced today, will renew Balenciaga's image as a serious fragrance contender and will be in keeping with their fragrance heritage, which began in 1946 with the launch of their iconic scent, 'Le Dix'.
Coty Prestige, who also distribute fragrances from fashion brands like Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Chloe amongst others, have said the first Balenciaga fragrance is likely to launch in spring 2010.
"Balenciaga's meaningful heritage lends itself perfectly to Coty Prestige's designer portfolio. Balenciaga is a highly distinctive brand as it embodies couture with a visionary style," said Michele Scannavini, President, Coty Prestige today.
With the A-list clamouring to wear Nicolas Ghesquiere's designs for Balenciaga, we expect the new fragrances will head straight to the top of the celebs' most wanted lists.
