Watching Rachael Ray

We jump right into the thick of it today with the Human Lab - Soap star edition! Rebecca Buddig from All My Children says her character was born in heels - and she loves to wear them as well, though it makes her feet hurt. The price one pays for beauty! She tries Insolia High Heel inserts. After a day with the inserts, Rebecca said she does feel a difference, though she couldn’t explain it exactly. “If deels like my weight is distributed differently,” she said - though her weight is all of two pounds soaking wet, but whatever. She said she didn’t feel the pressure in her toes like usual, and the only drawback was that her feet sweat a little bit more, but it was a trade-off she could totally live with.

Nadial Bjorlin from Days of Our Lives loves the pampering she gets on set, and misses it while she’s on the road. She tries Dissolving Paper Soap - it’s supposed to transform from paper to sudsy lather and leave you clean and pleasantly fragrant. She says it smells like rose water, and it’s great for traveling and camping, and possibly put it in a lingerie drawer for that extra sweet scent. It’s a great alternative for liquid soap that can spill in your luggage.

John-Paul Lavoisier from One Life to Live says his characters has a way with women and kisses a lot of women on the show. With all that kissing going on, fresh breath is a must, so he tries SmartMouth Mouthwash which claims to freshen breath for 24 full hours. Will it help him avoid a bad rap for bad breath? John-Paul said it did keep his mouth fresh, and it’s also sanitary as a pump, so he could share. They put it to the test, and John-paul’s co-star joins for a kiss test, that was so good she lost an earring! She declared his breath pretty flawless, so thumbs up for the Smart Mouth.

Next up, it’s tips for picking the perfect swimsuit - something we all hate to shop for. Viewer Christie Kostantas says she tells everyone she’s scared of the water, just to avoid going in the water and exposing the suit she bought 7 years ago. With an upcoming cruise, she wants and needs a new swimsuit that she feels comfortable in. Emme is on hand to help all us curvier women with helpful tips to find the right suit.

Check yourself out in the mirror (NAKED!) before you go shopping - take a good look at your figure, and pick out your best features. That’s what you’ll want to accentuate, while considering styles to hide problem areas. Pick out suits one size larger then your lingerie size - it has to fit everywhere. Don’t feel bad for the larger size, that’s the way it SHOULD be. Ruching can slim your mid-section, and a higher cut on the hip makes your legs look longer. Use a halter to lengthen your torso too. The best tip - bring a girlfriend. You have to have a support system! Emme points out that every woman is self-conscious about getting into a swim suit - so get over it, build your own self-esteem, get into the suit and have fun!

From the pool to the kitchen, what’s for dinner? Chicken Fra Diavolo with Fennel, onions and Potatoes and Warm Tomato and Roasted Garlic Sauce.
