Inception Review

The dream argument is still a much talked about theory and has been around since Plato and Aristotle.

" Perhaps you and I are dreaming, and have not waken? While we dream, we do not know we are dreaming". Even if we do dream we are dreaming "Only after we are awake, do we know that we have dreamed". But since there seems to be no certain way of telling when we are awake, we can never know when we have dreamed. "Once I Cheung Chou, dreamed I was a butterfly and was happy as a butterfly. I was conscious that I was quite pleased with myself, but I did not know that I was Chou. Suddenly, I awoke and there I was, visible Chou. I do not know it was Chou dreaming he was a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming it was Chou" - Cheung Tzu - A source book in Chinese Philosophy - Translated and compiled Wing-Tsit

2010 sees Christopher Nolan bring this theory to life in the summer blockbuster 'Inception'. The acclaimed director also known for his latest installment of the Batman films 'Batman Begins and ' The Dark Night' has spent $170,000,000 making his current movie. Renowned for his privacy Nolan kept the plot of Inception under wraps, and all that was known was that 'it was a thriller that takes place in the mind'. However that was then and this is now. Inception was released across the country on Friday 16th July, and it lived up to it's hype.

Leonardo Di Caprio plays Dom Cobb, a man able to steal information and secrets from peoples sub-conscious whilst they sleep. An international fugitive, Dom has been on the run and has no way of getting home, until now!
Entering into an agreement with Saito (Ken watanabe), Dom agrees to undertake the seemingly impossible task of Inception, the ability to plant ideas into peoples minds. Accompanied by his partner 'Arthur' (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), they assemble a star studded team to complete the job, and get Dom home.
Thrown into a world of cooperate espionage, Dom, Arthur and the team; (Ellen Page - Ariadne), (Tom Hardy - Eames), (Dileep Rao - Yusuf), find themselves in different levels of lucid dreams and ever changing environments. Unknowingly the team have entered into a something far more dangerous than they could have planned for. Something only Dom would have known existed.

Inception is a must see, every minute will have you on edge.

Healthy Happy You

Bikini season is upon us girls. Do you want to work your way to a healthy, happier you?

Don't go it alone! Getting active with a friend, with the same intentions as you can really help to boost your commitment levels. Many of us put off excercising at the begining and end of the day tempted by relaxing instead! This is not going to help you reach your health goals! It'll make you even lazier and ultimately add to any unwanted body weight!

Getting fit is not easy, but it can be enjoyable! (Not all us us need to lose weight, but keeping fit and healthy is important too) After all, where is the use in being naturally skinny if you're not healthy with it?

There are plenty of activities available in London and abroad to help you get in shape that don't include hours in the gym and stupid fad diets! In the summer the last thing you want is being stuck inside. Get out. Get Active. Get Healthy.

Heres a few simple Ideas..

Beach Running & Walking

Your heading to beach resort for summer. Walking & running on sand is not only a great way to lose weight and tone up it's a known fact that it helps build muscle, keeps you fit and helps you improve your body's endurance. Not only this, but training on sand is a great way to strengthen ankles, and greatly builds on leg strength especialy in the calf muscles. As sand is not a stable surface, it requires your body to work harder to maintain balance, therefore helping strengthen your core muscles and burning more calories.

Rowing in your local Park

Feeling Romantic?

If you are staying in the city this summer, why not take a date for a boat ride in your local park (i.e Serpentine in Hyde Park). Rowing is known to burn lots of calories because it excersises the larger muscle groups of the body. Rowing helps tone buttocks, thighs, arms and back muscles all together and as rowing is a rhythmic excersise it's easier to get into the fat burning zone.

Tips :Either get your special someone to take you, or show that us girls are as strong and take them! Trust me, you will feel the burn the next day.

(If you do not have a special someone to take around the lake, go with a friend!!)


Rent/Buy a Bike

Our fave English gal Kelly Brooke has recently finished fronting the London Bike Scheme. London is a beautiful city, and what better way to see it than by bicycle. Not only will you be able to take in the city's historic landmarks; Parliment, Tower of London, London Bridge. You'll be lowering your carbon footprint and loosing weight!
Cycling is an aerobic excersise and increases your fitness. Not only is it great for endurance, it's easy on the joints. Bikes can also be obtained throughout London Parks at rental stores. Usually Bikes are around £7 per hour, and you can rent anything from normal bikes to recumbents.

However, if renting is not for you and you would like something more permanent, I would suggest the new Cooper Bike Range. Cooper Bicycles are the latest offering from the Iconic British Cooper Car Company. Launched in October 2009 The Cycles timless design, teamed with Coopers expertees in engineering makes this carbon friendly form of transpost the must have accessory of 2010 . Prices start at £595.

Bikini, Brazilian, Hollywood?

For years I have been intrigued, drawn to the timeless act of waxing. Yes, waxing!

Waxing: A semi-permanent hair removal. Wax is applied to the desired area, then removed, taking with it unwanted hair. Waxing can be applied on many different areas of the body; Eyebrows, face, legs, bikini area, back etc..

So, after years of procrastinating I decided to grow some hair and go for it, after all Hot Wax is literally pain free! (Hmm...not sure I agree with that comment).

I rang around a few salons before choosing which lucky one would get to spend at least 25 mins getting to know me rather intimately and at 12.00pm I arrived for my appointment at the Svetlana Beauty Salon on the Wandsworth Bridge Road, greeted by two lovely women in their fifties from Eastern Europe. I’m taken down stairs to a perfectly nice therapy room, and left to alone to make myself comfortable (if you know what I mean).

Hmm, I say to myself, this may not be so bad after all. Let the waxing commence.

As a wax virgin my anticipation was heightened and made for quite a nervous waxing experience. I found myself very unable to relax, for after being asked to lay in a quite a compromising position (which you get used to after a while) I was unable to lie still. The fear of impending pain was fully removed when the lovely lavender hot wax was applied! Ah lovely I thought to myself. How bad could this be?

"S***, B******, W***!!! Can’t you just leave it on??” Deafens the beautician as she ripped the cooled wax off along with what felt like my entire nether regions.

The pain does not become easier to bare with each wax layer applied, its hurts just as much as the others, and I’m not even going to try to explain the lovely feeling of wax being ripped off your extreme nether regions!

Screaming was not on my agenda, as I like to think I have a high pain threshold, however I love my expletives, and my new therapist is now fully aware of that, as is the 2 mile radius of fulham that surrounds the beauty salon. Not only did I think I could have passed out, I felt I’d just completed positions 13 and 24 in the Karma Sutra of Hell and Masochism!

Why on earth was waxing invented? It’s so painful!!! Although I’ve been assured you get used to the pain, and the first time is always horrible!! Hmm, sounds familiar. :D

To return or not to return? After hobbling around all day, looking rather like I’v just broken in a feral horse, I’ve decided that if I like the results I may just head back to Svetlana for another treatment. The staff were lovely and although painful, it was an experience that all girls should try, even if it’s just to say they have! You don’t have to, and I can see why most people just shave, but if like me, you want a smoother for longer feel, waxing maybe the answer!

Ode to Coffee and Cake

My Ode to Coffee & Cake

So smooth and strong,
You hold me up,
when I start to tire
Icing so sweet,
Sponge so soft,
My love will ne'er expire.

The scent of you,
Makes people smile,
You're lifes little treats
So easily made
So easily bought
With fudge cake no one can compete

Both of you
Come in flavours galore
Vanilla, chocolate, cream
I sip and I bite
I savour the taste
you are the tastiest dream.

I'd spend my life
learning the trade
to create amazing cakes
I'd crawl hand and knee
every day
to produce the finest blend

Oh coffee! Oh cake!
what have you done?
I am an obsessed soul
I've wasted ten minutes
of working time
to write you your own Ode.
