There have been mixed reactions about Eva Longoria's choice of wardrobe at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. A year later, people still talk about the ballet pink ruffled one-piece swimsuit and the Le Silla high heels she wore as an opening act to Mariah Carey's sultry performance of her then hit, Shake It Off. Was it really that hideous for it to be called 'an evening wear awards show fashion faux pas?' If you ask me, it wasn't all that bad; she had to wear something that night and the *Shay Todd* swim wear happened to strike her fancy at that time. She looked rather delicious actually, like you can eat her whole if you could. As 1/5 of the Desperate Housewives main characters roster, she's managed to pull off every piece of clothing in the show, from the skimpiest to the most elegant. Mowing the lawn in heels and a fish tail evening dress isn't exactly something you see in your neighborhood everyday. And these quintessential issues just makes some of us wonder how desperate she can be in real life.
I think people are just jealous that Longoria gets to be invited to these prestigious awards shows. And to add salt to injury, she also gets to wear free designer clothes all the time. So what if she dressed short of our expectations last year (no pun intended). She's a vibrant and talented woman; actors like her should be celebrated because of their accomplishments in the industry and not solely on what they've been wearing behind the cameras. She can wear a roll of yarn to my parties for all I care.
Bikinis are just very appealing to some that they'd wear them any chance they get. Longoria didn't hesitate at the VMA's and everyday women shouldn't either. Of course you always have to dress appropriately for a given occasion; you wouldn't exactly wear a two-piece bikini to church. Have you seen Paris Hilton in her Shay Todd number in that Carl's Jr commercial? Totally inappropriate, some would adamantly say, but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted some of that...burger. So if you decide to sport a tasteful bathing suit to a night out in the town, then by God, do it. You are the master of your wardrobe and if you feel confident enough to wear something as revealing as a swimsuit then who are we to stop you.
For an equally daring attempt to sport a bikini in the night, try on the Black Moschino Bandeau Bikini. It can be worn more than two ways: tie the straps around your neck for more support and to emphasize those gorgeous shoulder lines, or you can let it hang loose for a little flair. The low-rise bikini can double as slick underwear, too. It is a bit pricey but we're talking about Moschino here. Wear the bikini top with your favorite denim jeans, skirt, or dress shorts and you might just start a fad of your own.
The Purple Evening Temptress One-piece Bikini is a dazzling bathing suit to wear ala Eva on one of your nocturnal party prowls. It's actually a straight halter top with a very deep neckline that's held together by a gold ring at the center. The bottom half has a hot shorts cut that provides full coverage and flatters the right curves on your body. Unlike Eva and Paris, you will probably have to pay for this one. But the good news is that it's very affordable and worth every cent. Save 31% on a single purchase and even get a better deal when you buy in volume at www.vitadigest.com. It's the summer, it's your party, and you can swim in a sea of gaping reactions if you want to. There are no rules about swim wear except it has to cover what needs to be covered, that's all. So next time you were invited to a casual yet sizzling evening bash, get in your ultra hot swimsuit and shake what your mama gave you all over the city. Step aside, Eva -- maybe next year you get to be the talk of the town.
One of the more obvious causes of nighttime headaches is alcohol consumption, so if you find this is a trigger, it is suggested that you limit consumption or avoid those specific alcoholic drinks that seem to trigger headaches more often.
Cluster Headaches and Sleep Apnea
Cluster headaches are intense piercing headaches that are typically of short duration; some people find that their cluster headaches occur specifically at night. Individuals who suffer from cluster headaches may also suffer from sleep apnea, a condition where breathing is temporarily interrupted while a person is sleeping. When a person has sleep apnea, a change in the airway occurs which then temporarily stops breathing. A person will gasp for breath and it is often an individual's partner who alerts them to the problem.
To compound the problem, most people with sleep apnea are unaware of their condition, and so don't ever seek treatment for the problem. Sleep apnea tends to intensify cluster headaches and may, in particular, prompt nighttime ones. What this means for you, is that if you are awakening at night with a cluster headache or find that you experience a cluster episode upon awakening, it may be worthwhile speaking to your doctor about the chance that you have sleep apnea.
Night Headaches and Hypoglycaemia
Hypoglycaemia is a term used to refer to blood sugar that is too low to sustain normal body functioning. If hypoglycaemia attacks while you are sleeping, you may find that you experience night sweats and a painful headache. A light balanced snack prior to bedtime, such as whole-wheat crackers with cheese, will help to keep your blood sugar more stable while you sleep and prevent nighttime occurrence of hypoglycaemia.
Stress and Tension Headaches
For some people, nighttime is the culmination of a stressful day spent on the go, without time taken out to relax and look after themselves. Tension headaches are a common type of headache and are often triggered by various stresses stemming from work, school or personal life. Exhaustion and worry can trigger a headache while you sleep and this lack of sleep then triggers more headaches, leading to a vicious cycle. If you're able to find ways to manage stress, you may find your nighttime headaches improve and you can get the rest that your body needs.
Nighttime Migraines
If you're finding that you experience migraines at night, it is possible that exposure to a trigger is occurring shortly before you sleep. Check your bedroom for chemicals that may be contributing, such as air fresheners, for example. It may be that a food you consume before bed is causing the migraine or perhaps even an additive contained within the food. Keep a headache diary and make a note of what foods and environments you are exposed to prior to sleeping and see if you can pinpoint and then reduce or eliminate the trigger.
Get a Good Night's Sleep
There are various things you can do to help prevent headaches and promote a good night's sleep. Some options are:
* Be aware of what you eat before sleeping - although hunger and low blood sugar can prompt headaches, eating too much food, particularly if it's a known migraine trigger, can also cause headaches, not to mention stomach problems.
* Stay hydrated throughout the day and avoid large amounts of water at night - you want to ensure that you prevent dehydration consistently, as dehydration can trigger headaches. Rather than loading up on water before bed, which may leave you needing the toilet in the middle of the night, try to maintain hydration evenly during the day.
* Ensure you get enough sleep - quality is obviously important but four hours of quality sleep, for example, is simply not enough for most people. Ironically, some people make time for everything but sleep and this can leave them with headaches. If you're the type to use a planner, then pencil in your eight hours each night.
* Exercise - cardiovascular exercise right before bed may keep you awake but done earlier in the day, it can relieve stress and improve circulation, preventing painful nighttime headaches later on.
* Medications -depending on precisely what is causing your headaches, your doctor may prescribe medications to prevent nighttime headaches as well as treat those that do occur.
Nighttime headaches are very rarely due to serious conditions but if you do find yourself waking up with an extremely severe headache, you may need to see a doctor immediately on the remote possibility that you are suffering from a brain tumour.
Your sleep is important for maintaining clear and alert daily functioning so resolve to see your doctor to discuss your nighttime headaches and be sure to allot enough time each night for adequate rest. Ultimately, better headache-free sleep means a better day.
