These ten foods will help cleanse and detox your body, making you look and feel more beautiful.
1. green leafy vegetables – Chlorophyll is a powerful way to rid your body of toxins. Raw vegetables are best, but cooked ones are good too. Chop them into salads, toss them in soups, throw them in a juicer.
2. lemons – full of vitamin C, lemons are a natural detoxifier. They help clarify your body’s fluids and are also great for soothing a soar throat.
3. watercress – tasty in salads and sandwiches, watercress is rich in minerals and is a natural diuretic.
4. garlic – add spice to your life with garlic, perhaps nature’s most beneficial food. Not only does it ward off vampires, it softens up the stuff that clogs your arteries and helps it pass through your system.
5. green tea – rich in antioxidants, hot brewed green tea helps keep your liver healthy.
6. broccoli sprouts – a super cancer fighter, even more so than broccoli itself.

8. cabbage – it may be stinky but it sure is good for your liver. Try it cooked or in cole slaw.

10. fruit – we can’t say enough about the benefits of fruit. Delicious and nutricious. Full of vitamins, fiber, fluids, antioxidants, and flavor. And no, fruit rollups do not count.
“Movida” was the theme for the 2008 Rose Ball in Monaco. Above is the official poster.
From the press release:
Spain will be spotlighted and, in particular, the extraordinary chapter in its history which saw ethics and arts explode in an extraordinary renaissance. “Movida” is an artistic movement in Spain, dating from the 1980s, which swept away several decades of oppression.
Special guests include Pedro Almodovar, Mario Vaquerizo, Olivido Gara (a.k.a Alaska), Bibiana Fernandez:
You’d think by the title that The Jane Austen Book Club would be a real girly movie. But I know several men who have enjoyed it as much as I have.
Emily Blunt is fantastic as Prudie, a young high school teacher caught in a lackluster marriage. All of the actresses do a great job including Kathy Baker, Maria Bello, Amy Brenneman and Maggie Grace. But Emily Blunt steals the show.
Hugh Dancy also lights up the screen as the only male member of the book club. He’s a science fiction fanatic who assumes that the complete works of Austen are sequels. He also has an R2D2 ringtone on his phone. So cute. He joins the club because he is attracted to Jocelyn (Maria Bello), who, of course, takes forever to realize it.
The movie is a lot of fun and is deeper than the trailers would suggest.
Best lines:
Dean (Prudie’s husband): Baby, high school is over.
Prudie: High school is never over.
Prudie (talking about one of her students): He looks at me like he’s the spoon, and I’m this dish of ice cream.
