Cannes Film Festival Best Dresses – Day 1

May 17, 2012 by  
Filed under Rich Fashion

I was looking through dresses from the Cannes Film Festival 2012 opening night red carpet and it hit me. I am actually jealous of these beautiful actresses and models. It seems like their life is a constant party where they have a chance to rock yet another wonderful dress and look exceptionally gorgeous. And yes, I felt jealous, because I don’t remember when was the last time I appeared anywhere in a long evening gown. Most events that I have attended recently required maximum a cocktail dress. Last time I wore an evening gown and felt like a star was at the SuperYachts party in Monaco. So, guess what I am trying to say here is that I just need to find the excuse to buy a new dress. Don’t know why I waited so long :) But we will definitely get back to it later, now I want to share a few dresses from Cannes 2012 red carpet, that I absolutely loved.

First of all, Jane Fonda in amazing Atelier Versace dress. Look how beautiful and sexy she is! I don’t even want to mention her age, but damn, what a body! I guess her obsession with aerobics paid off. It is about time I dig out her video tape, the one I used to have when I was a kid, and start working out.

Next on my amazing dresses list is Berenice Bejo in red Louis Vuitton. I loved everything about this dress – the color, shape, how it looks on Berenice! I think it was a perfect choice.

Diane Kruger looked gorgeous in this flowing Giambattista Valli Couture dress. I don’t know why, but the word goddess comes to mind when I look at her pictures in this dress.

I also liked Eva Longoria in Marchesa, although I did get the deja vu feeling, like somewhere I saw it before.

Eva rocked another dress during the dinner, and I probably love this Alberta Ferretti gown even better than Marchesa.

A lot of resources were raving about Freida Pinto’s red carpet Michael Angel dress, but I think that she looked much better and more intriguing in Versace.

So, these are my most favorite dresses from the fist day of Cannes Film Festival 2012. Hopefully we will see a lot of amazing gowns till the end of the festival on the 27th of May.

What was your most favorite dress, rich girls?

Top 10 Celebrity Girls via Forbes “The Celebrity 100″

May 16, 2012 by  
Filed under Success Stories

I have just received information about one of my most favorite Forbes lists – “The Celebrity 100“. I somehow missed to write my thoughts about it last year, but if you are interested you can see my opinion on this two years ago.

“The Celebrity 100″ is put together taking into consideration not only the amount of money each celebrity earned during the year, but also their web and other media influence. So, in order to be considered as the most successful, celebrities should not only earn money, but also create a buzz around their name over the year.

I was happy to see that 7 celebrity girls are in the top 10! Amazing, it leaves the room for only 3 guys on the top. Only Justin Bieber made it to the 3rd place, Tom Cruise on the 9th and Steven Spielberg on the 10th. Guess this means celebrity girls know how to earn money and make people talk about them much better than guys.

And by the way 3 of the girls from top 20 were seen in “11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011” feature here on Rich Girls Club. Which makes me really happy :) These 3 girls are: Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce Knowles.

Anyway, back to “The Celebrity 100″ list by Forbes. As we are only interested in girls and their success stories, here is the Top 10 Most Successful Celebrity Girls:

1 – Jennifer Lopez – $52 Million

2 – Oprah Winfrey – $165 Million

3 – Rihanna – $53 Million

4 – Lady Gaga – $52 Million

5 – Britney Spears – $58 Million

6 – Kim Kardashian – $18 Million

7 – Katy Perry – $45 Million

8 – Taylor Swift – $57 Million

9 – Angelina Jolie – $20 Million

10 – Beyonce Knowles – $40 Million

As we can see from this list, although Oprah Winfrey earned a whopping $165 Million this year, she is still a little behind Jennifer Lopez. Somehow I don’t think that Oprah is frustrated, at least I wouldn’t be if I were her. Funny thing is that only yesterday, I thought about Jennifer Lopez. I noticed that she appears in almost every advertisement lately: Fiat, Gillette, Kohl’s, L’Oreal, her own fragrance. She was also a face for Spanish brand Tous and even appeared in Gucci commercials with her kids. Jennifer Lopez also has a strong social media following with 6.6 million on Twitter and 12 million on Facebook. She is the star-judge on American Idol and this weekend (18.05.2012) the long awaited movie “What To Expect When You Are Expecting” is coming out with J.Lo as one of the stars. I guess that Forbes’ journalist Dorothy Pomerantz couldn’t be more precise calling Jennifer Lopez “a state-of-the-art celebrity success story.”

Although Kim Kardashian earned far less than her top 10 celebrity peers, she definitely gained massive publicity with her wedding and divorce. I guess any publicity counts, even the bad one.

I think it is very useful to look at the lists like this one, because it inspires you to try harder and dream a little bit bigger. When I see that there are girls who can succeed in this world beyond my wildest imagination with their talent, hard work, a little bit of luck and other wits, it helps me to move forward and try a little bit harder. The other reason why I love “The Celebrity 100″ list, is that these people earned their money and not inherited them. One more thing to admire and respect them for.

What about you, rich girls? Do you feel inspired by the success of other people?

Yours,

Rich Girl

10 Celebrities who Meditate and Why They Do It

May 10, 2012 by  
Filed under Guest Posts

Once thought to be new age nonsense, meditation has gained in popularity in recent years. Several scientific studies have reaffirmed many of meditation’s purported benefits. Meditation can not only relax the mind and body, but it has proven to have many other benefits on them as well. This is probably why many Hollywood celebrities are touting the effectiveness of this ancient relaxation method. Read on to learn about the benefits of meditation, the celebrities that swear by it, and how it has helped them.

Meditation has been proven to improve the mind’s ability to focus and the speed at which it does so. Studies using magnetic resonance imaging have shown that meditation can result in higher levels of alpha brain waves, which are responsible for mental focus. Beyond focus, meditation has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety, reduce aggression, improve memory, and increase will power. And these are just the effects it has on the mind. Meditation benefits the body by lowering blood pressure, reducing oxygen usage, slowing the heart rate, relaxing the muscles, and reducing the effects of chronic pain. With all these benefits, it is no wonder that meditation is growing in popularity.

There are a few different types of meditation. The type that is most popular with celebrities is called Transcendental Meditation, or TM. While the other types most often involve some concentration or control of the mind or contemplation to keep the mind active in some way, TM allows the mind to simply, naturally, and effortlessly transcend thinking and to experience a deep state of restfully alert consciousness. This procedure practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.

So now that you know what meditation is and what it can do, it is time to learn which celebrities use it and why.

Clint Eastwood

The 81 year old actor is the picture of health, energy, and strength for his age. It turns out that one of his tricks is TM. And far from being guilty of jumping on the bandwagon, he has been practicing it for a good forty years. Eastwood sees meditation as an effective self-help remedy.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow has been quoted as saying: “My New Year’s resolution is to learn how to meditate. It has always sounded like something I should do, but I do not know how to. My friends who do it say it is really freakin’ brilliant. They say you can’t know the peace/awareness/contentment until you do it.” Let’s hope she has made good on her resolution and discovered how freakin’ brilliant meditation can be.

Angelina Jolie

With all those kids running around, it is not hard to see where Jolie could benefit from a little meditation. Jolie recently said: “I find meditation in sitting on the floor with the kids coloring for an hour, or going on the trampoline.”

Hugh Jackman

Even Wolverine needs some relaxation sometimes. Jackman has stated that meditation helped to change his life and deal with his obsessive compulsions. If it works for a member of the X-men, it can work for a mere mortal like you or I.

Adrien Brody

Brody says that he uses meditation techniques to prepare for upcoming roles. For the movie Predator 2, he says he meditated in a hut in the jungle. I will take his word for it, as you will not find me relaxing in a jungle with predators about.

Eva Mendes

Mendes says that meditation helps her get centered so she can deal with life’s up and downs. It sure seems to be working at maintaining her looks.

Howard Stern

Take it from the King of all Media; Stern credits TM with helping him quit smoking. He says that he immediately quit smoking after taking up TM over three decades ago.

Russell Brand

Brand says he meditates for twenty minutes in the morning and twenty minutes in the early evening. He claims it is a big part of his life. The actor says that it settles his mind and helps him wind down after a long day.

Russell Simmons

Simmons, the hip-hop artist and entrepreneur, says meditation gives him energy, strength, health, wisdom, and access to inner stillness, silence, and bliss. He also feels that it gives him a greater connection to himself and the universe. Not bad for less than an hour a day!

Tiger Woods

Being a Buddhist, Woods is no stranger to meditation. However the top tier athlete admits that he had gotten away from his meditation practice during his recent transgressions. So this one serves as more of a warning about straying from meditation than a story of its benefits.

It is quite clear that meditation is more than just a passing Hollywood fad. With some celebrities practicing meditation for decades, it looks like it is here to stay. So give yourself the celebrity treatment and take up meditation today.

Backless Dresses: Sexy, Elegant and Chic

March 27, 2012 by  
Filed under Rich Fashion

We were celebrating my friends’ birthday in “La Sala” the other day, and there was one girl, sitting at the nearby table, who draw attention of all men in the restaurant to herself. Well, maybe it was because she was sitting with the TOWIE stars, but I think that it was mostly because of her amazing backless dress. Even I couldn’t help but looking at the girl’s bare back in owe and, yes, I admit it – jealousy. In order to pull the backless dress off, you need to have a great back! And unfortunately (or luckily :) ) I am more satisfied with my front view :)

Anyway, this girl inspired me to look for the amazing backless dresses, in case one day I will manage to create a perfect back for myself. So, when I was browsing the net, I have noticed that so many celebrities are rocking backless dresses on the red carpet. Here are just a few of them:

Hilary Swank

blake lively in backless short red dress

Megan Fox

These celebrity girls look gorgeous, don’t they? Somehow dresses with bare back never look vulgar. You show so much skin and still look elegant, sensual and mysterious at the same time, which is not the case with deep decollete or mini dresses.

So, in order for us, girls, look elegant and still attract men’s attention, here are a few of the backless dresses that I have picked. I think that these dresses you can easily wear for a night out, a party with friends, prom night and even to attend a wedding. Warning!! If you choose a dress with a bare back, be ready for both envious and admiring glances! :)

Girls, if you love the idea of the backless dress, but like I am, you are a little bit self-conscious about it, try this 10 minute workout. I think it is wonderful and won’t take much of your time. Maybe you can share other great workouts with us? I am sure, that if you work on your back constantly, you will achieve great results and the next time you wear a backless dress, you will be the center of everyone’s attention.

So, girls, what do you think about dresses with bare backs? Do you usually wear them or plan to wear soon? Would you consider wearing backless prom dress or wedding gown? Please leave your opinion in the comments below.

How Celebrities Get Those Perfect Smiles

March 7, 2012 by  
Filed under Guest Posts

When you are watching TV or flipping through a gossip magazine, you may wonder why every celebrity you see has pearly white, sparkling, perfect teeth. While some of them are born with them, the rest have a secret. Their secret to perfect teeth their dentist. Their dentist has given them those perfect teeth by using dental veneers and composite fillings. Dental veneers and composite fillings can give anyone those perfect movie star teeth. So, if you always wanted to have that perfect celebrity smile, now you know what you have to do.

Dental veneers are thin caps that go over the front of your teeth to give them a perfect, white appearance. They are usually made out of a ceramic porcelain-like material that looks exactly like a normal tooth. They allow some light to pass through them like natural teeth and they can be ordered in custom shades and are shaped to fit your teeth perfectly. Veneers can also fix problems such as slightly misaligned teeth or teeth that are chipped.

To get your own dental veneers you need to visit your dentist. Your dentist will take custom molds of your teeth and send them off to a laboratory where they will make your veneers from the molds of your natural teeth. This way, your new veneers will fit you perfectly. Once your veneers are completed and double checked for quality, they are sent back to your dentist. During your second visit, your dentist will shave a very thin layer off the surface of your front teeth and tightly bond the new veneers on to them. These veneers will give you a flawless, perfectly straight, and bright white smile fit for a movie star.

perfect white celebrity teeth care and Hollywood smile

The second secret of beautiful celebrity smiles is composite fillings. When you get a filling, your dentist drills out the bad part of the tooth and fills it in with a gold or silver colored metal. That was the old way of doing it. These days dentist use a compound that matches the color of your natural teeth to fill in the hole. But you are not out of luck if you already have a mouth full of ugly metal fillings. You can have your dentist replace your old metal fillings with the new white composite fillings. This will return your mouth to its natural look and give you the confidence to smile and laugh without worrying about exposing a mouth full of metal.

So if you want to get that slick celebrity look for your smile, ask your dentist about composite fillings and dental veneers. It is going to cost you a bit of money, so be prepared for that but if you feel like your teeth are distracting or you just want them to be perfect, then it is worth it to you. And once your smile is at its best, you will feel like a million bucks (which is a pretty good deal because you will spend far less than that on your veneers and composite fillings).

Who Wore Antonio Berardi Dress Best: Kim or Jane?

February 19, 2012 by  
Filed under Rich Fashion

The amazing dress by Antonio Berardi continues to win celebrities hearts. When I fist saw this dress and suggested that it could be an amazing choice for someone to sparkle on a red carpet, I honestly didn’t hope that anyone would actually wear it. What are the chances, right? So, when Jane Krakowski wore the exactly same dress to SAG Awards 2012 red carpet, I was beyond myself with excitement!

And of course I didn’t expect that this dress will appear on someone again. It would be too much. So, when I saw pictures from Grammy’s and Kim Kardashian was wearing the same Antonio Berardi’s dress, just in different colour, I was shocked. Just two weeks after Jane’s SAG Awards appearance? How weird is that?

Why would Kim Kardashian wear the exactly same dress, I wonder? I doubt that Kim or her stylists were unaware of Jane’s dress, because it was all over the Internet. And girls usually hate to wear the same dresses, especially celebrities. So, I guess there is only one explanation to this awkward situation: Kim just wanted to appear in magazines and numerous Internet resources in the “who wore it best” section. And I must hand it to her, this tactic really worked, as there are countless pages now mentioning Kim and Jane.

I wouldn’t normally feature Kim and Jane together in the same dresses, as I don’t have “who wore it best” category, but I do it now only because it is Antonio Berardi dress and I fell in love with it way before these girls did.

So, Who Do You Think Wore Antonio Berardi Dress Best?

Jane Krakowski Wears Antonio Berardi Dress

February 1, 2012 by  
Filed under Rich Fashion

Girls, remember on the 16th of January 2012 I was posting the list of dresses I would wear if I was going to be on the Golden Globe Awards 2012 red carpet? Well, those of you who missed my post with the selection of dresses and don’t know what I am talking about, please see it here before you continue reading this current post.

So, yes I have made a list of, to my mind, perfect red carpet choices and was curious to see if any celebrity would actually wear something from my list. It was more like a bet for me, not that I was actually believing that one of the actresses (or their stylists) would pick the same dresses. I also didn’t expect that celebrity girls would have the same taste in designer evening dresses as me. I did it just for fun.

Now imagine my surprise, shock and excitement when I was browsing through pictures from the SAG Awards Red Carpet 2012 and saw Jane Krakowski!! Jane Krakowski, the star of the “30Rock” tv-series, was wearing the dress I’ve picked! How cool and unbelievable is that?! Jane was wearing the black dress with the breathtaking beaded top by Antonio Berardi. The dress, which was my top 3 pick, after the gorgeous red dress by Zac Posen.

Here are the pictures of the Antonio Berardi dress:

And here is Jane Krakowski on the SAG Awards 2012 red carpet:

So, rich girls, what do you think? Was this dress a great choice for Jane Krakowski? I think it was definitely an amazing dress and she looked gorgeous in it. I am also happy to know that me and Jane (or her stylist) have the same taste in evening dresses. This inspires me to do more lists like this in the future!

Well, let’s wait and see if someone would actually wear the red dress by Zac Posen. I will be beyond myself with excitement! :) Which celebrity girl would look the best in this dress?

14 Best Dresses From Golden Globes 2012

January 17, 2012 by  
Filed under Rich Fashion

So girls, what do you think about the Golden Globe Awards this year? Have all your favorite actresses and actors win? I am really sad for Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, it seems like they never will be able to win anything. They are both great actors, but somehow every time they are nominated for an award there is always someone better in the same category. Like George Clooney, for example :) I love Clooney, but I wanted for Brad or Leo to win this time. Well, there is always a hope for the Oscars.

Anyway, I think that the show was great and everyone received the deserved prizes. I was particularly happy for the “Modern Family”, because I love this show! But what I really want to talk about is the red carpet and the dresses. To tell you the truth, at first I was a little bit disappointed with the dresses that our beloved celebrities have chosen for the awards’ red carpet. I thought that some of the dresses were plain boring and some were just stupid, but as I was looking at the same pictures again and again, I started to get some of the dresses and even liked a few.

Here is my “Top 11 Best Golden Globe 2012 Celebrity Red Carpet Dresses”

11 – Zooey Deschanel in Prada

I loved this dress because of the interesting top and dramatic back. I have never seen green and black look so organically together.

10 – Jessica Alba in Gucci

The dress all by itself maybe is not something extraordinary, but it looks great on Jessica Alba. I just wonder what would not look great on Alba? She is gorgeous.

9 – Jenna Dewan in Maria Lucia Hohan

I love the color, the top and the back of this dress. All in all it works great for Jenna, although if there were a lot of other amazing dresses on the red carpet I probably wouldn’t pick this one at all.

golden globe awards 2012 red carpet jenna dewan in maria lucia hohan

8 – Emma Stone in Lanvin

I loved the dress, chosen by Emma, it looked great on her. What I would suggest her for the next red carpet event is to review her makeup. I think she overdone her eyes a little bit too much.

golden globe awards 2012 red carpet emma stone in lanvin dress

7 – Viola Davis in Pucci

Viola Davis looked stunning and elegant in this Pucci dress. I don’t know what the color is called exactly, but it looks wonderful on Viola!

6 – Claire Danes in J.Mendel

This J.Mendel dress was an excellent choice for Claire Danes. I loved the dramatic back and black and white color combination.

golden globe awards 2012 red carpet claire danes

The above listed dresses were elegant and beautiful, but to my mind a little bit too simple for such a grand event as Golden Globe Award ceremony. These dresses would be absolutely amazing choices for attending a wedding, but to stand out on a red carpet you need to try harder and therefore here is my Top 5 Best Dresses. I won’t even explain why I love these dresses the most. What I just want to say is that dress can be beautiful or amazing all by itself, but it is the girl that makes the dress look spectacular!

5 – Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang

4 – Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci

3 – Lea Michele in Marchesa

2 – Diana Argon in Giles

1 – Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

And while Angelina Jolie was the ultimate star on the red carpet, there were also 3 more dresses that are worth mentioning:

Kim Kardashian in Bruce Oldfield dress:

Miranda Kerr in Dolce & Gabbana

Now I have mentioned everyone I liked :) Although I still think that the dresses that I have chosen for this event myself, were much more amazing than the ones chosen by celebrities. There, I said it! :)

So, rich girls, what do you think about the dresses? Did you like or hate something in particular? Let me know your opinion in the comments below!

11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011

January 9, 2012 by  
Filed under Success Stories

The year 2011 was full of wonderful moments. A lot of good and bad things have happened in the world during this year, but as always we are not going to concentrate on the bad things. I have decided to remember only the good things and make the list of those celebrity girls, for whom (to my mind) this year was the most successful and unforgettable. Let’s celebrate those inspiring rich girls, who set high standards, never stop surprising us and manage to achieve great results.

So, who were the most outstanding celebrity girls of 2011? It was really hard to choose only 11 celebrity girls, because there are so much more high achievers, but rules are rules. I have selected 11 girls based on one of the following criteria: outstanding achievements, buzz, life changing experience and inspiration.

Some of the girls in this list will match all the criteria, some may only match one, but nonetheless they all have earned the right to be on the list.

1 – Kate Middleton now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

kate middleton royal wedding day princess

The Royal Wedding was definitely the most beautiful and romantic event of the year and Catherine was the ultimate star! I think that Kate Middleton is the most successful girls of 2011, because she managed to marry the prince! Sometimes all it takes is to marry the right guy, after that your life is a complete fairy tale.

2 – Adele

Adele experienced breathtaking rise to fame in 2011. Her single “Someone Like You” became a number one hit around the world and the album “21″ topped the charts in 18 countries including the United States. Adele’s “21″ was also last year’s biggest selling digital album.

There are a lot of things that I like about Adele: her voice, her songs and the fact that she doesn’t look like most of the stars. She is unique in every possible way and I hope she will continue make us happy or sad with her new songs. My personal favorite Adele’s song is “Rolling in the Deep” and I first heard and loved it in the “Gossip Girl” – Bar Mitzvah episode. This song suited perfectly Chuck and Blair’s romance!

3 – Victoria Beckham

It was a very successful year for Victoria Beckham both family and career wise. She welcomed her beautiful baby daughter Harper Seven into the family and won the “Designer Brand of the Year” at the “2011 British Fashion Awards”, beating Stella McCartney, Tom Ford and Burberry. I was writing about Victoria Beckham earlier this year, as she is a very inspiring rich girl.

4 – Rihanna

In 2011 Rihanna achieved a lot and this year was really amazing for her. She received Grammy Award (Dance Recording), Billboard Award (Female Artist of the Year), Brit (International Female Artist of the Year) Award, American Music Award (Favorite R&B Album), BET award (Best Female R&B Artist) in just one year! Her album “Loud” sold over 6,000,000 copies internationally, she sold more than 47 million digital tracks in 2011, which puts her ahead of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Beyonce, her “Loud” tour was the 7th top grossing world tour in 2011 and the list of Rihanna’s achievements this year can go on and on. I just listed the most inspiring ones. And don’t forget that Rihanna is only 23 years old!

5 – Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous and as far as I am concerned she is good at it. She spent over 10 million dollars on a wedding, ordered three amazing wedding dresses from Vera Wang only to file for divorce in just 72 days of marriage. Well, she made headlines this year and people were actually interested in all her wedding preparations, the dream wedding and the divorce drama. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011, Kim Kardashian wedding was most popular search in weddings category within the United States. Even the Royal wedding was left behind, on the 2nd place. I think that only Kim Kardashian could pull this off and although she is not a great role model she deserves a place in our top for constantly finding new ways to be in a spot light.

6 – Natalie Portman

I bet that 2011 will be the year which Natalie Portman will look back to and say: “This year was the most amazing of all!” I hope that she will have a lot more successful years in the future, but 2011 was really the year to remember. Natalie Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance as Nina Sayers in “Black Swan”. But 2011 was also unforgettable, because Natalie gave birth to her first child, a son named Aleph Portman-Millepied.


7 – Charlene Wittstock, now Charlene, Princess of Monaco

princess of Monaco Charlene

A girl from South Africa marrying into one of Europe’s oldest royal families, isn’t it a true fairy tale? And even though the wedding was clouded by suggestions that Charlene almost became a runaway bride after she found out about Prince Albert’s private life, the event turned out to be grand and beautiful. Maybe not as hugely discussed and viewed as the Royal Wedding of Catherine and William, but still breathtaking. And I actually loved Charlene’s wedding dress better.

8 – Pippa Middleton

One girl which woke up famous this year was Pippa Middleton. After she rocked that white dress by Sarah Burton at her sister’s Royal Wedding, she skyrocketed to fame. Guys love her, girls want to copy her body parts and the way she dresses and Pippa is just enjoying her invitations to all the glamorous parties and probably is writing a book. Yes, Pippa Middleton is said to be close to signing a book deal on how to be the perfect party hostess. Well, it is definitely good to have a famous sister.

9 – Beyoncé

She is a great singer and beautiful woman, she is inspiration for all of us. This year all the fans were happy to hear the good news, that the power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z is expecting their first child. Her pregnancy announcement had broken the “most tweets per second recorded for a single event” Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second.

But somehow these amazing news were spoiled by the allegations that Beyonce is not actually pregnant and is wearing a special pillow to look pregnant, that a surrogate is doing the actual job. I still don’t know whether it is true or not. I hope she is pregnant for real, because I can see no reason why would she fake her pregnancy or turn to surrogate at this young age. Anyway, Beyonce is a star and she can do whatever she wants. I like what she said in one of her videos: “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world.”

10 – Jennifer Aniston

Everyone wants to believe in true relationships and happy mutual love. This year we had a chance to feel happy for Jennifer as it seems that she has finally found her Mr. Right! Jennifer Aniston radiated happiness all year, thank you Justin Theroux :) Her new haircut this year also made people talk. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011 Jennifer Aniston haircut was number 2 most popular search in haircuts category, just a little bit behind Justin Bieber’s haircut and way ahead of Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Diana Agron haircuts.

Also, I really loved her this year in “Horrible Bosses”.

11 – Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson lost 80 lbs and turned into a completely different person. This year she was shining on different events, in amazing tight outfits and said that she now looks and feels 10 years younger. I have added Jennifer to the list of 11 most successful and inspiring rich girls of 2011 because she is not only talented singer and Academy Award winner and a mother of a gorgeous kid, but she also managed to turn her life around and become more healthy and confident. If she could do it, we all can do it! Let’s be healthier and happier in 2012!

So, here is the list of 11 rich girls who, to my mind, were having a blast in 2011. Of course some of you may disagree with this list and I would really want to hear that :) Please share your opinion in the comments below.

The reason I wanted to create this list in the first place, is to inspire you to make the year 2012 to remember! Set yourself high standards, targets and goals this year! You can do anything! Dream big and act on it!

Let the 2012 be the most successful of all years! And who knows, maybe at the beginning of 2013 there will be your name on my list!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Cosmetic Dentistry For Celebrities And Us

November 2, 2011 by  
Filed under Guest Posts

All the well-known celebs are having different things done to their teeth so that they have bright, straight smiles when they are seen out in public. But that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the very same look and show your pals the ‘Hollywood smile’. This article looks at many of the cosmetic dental treatments that are available to anyone with the funds to afford them. Cosmetic dental treatments can range from whitening and straightening teeth to veneers and crowns. For a major repair it can extend to dental implants and bridges.

Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening does carry some risks, such as an increase in tooth sensitivity, irritation of gums, and mismatched teeth. Teeth whitening can be inexpensive or it can be very expensive. It all depends on which procedure is chosen to be done. This is a simple way to get the glistening look of the celebrities, with Simon Cowell often sending contestants on The X Factor to get their teeth whitened. Does that help with their singing voices?

Veneers

Veneers can help to correct crowded and crooked teeth but if a tooth has actually been lost due to a medical condition or accident, a dental implant may be needed. Veneers are used when teeth are only slightly damaged or weakened. This is mainly to enhance appearances of the tooth. Treatment requires the removal of some natural tooth, which cannot be returned. This can also be an expensive procedure, depending on how many teeth require treatment. Who’s had it? Rich girl, Hilary Duff for a start.

Bonding

And to cover cracks and chips most everyone has dentistry bonding done. There probably isn’t a celebrity who hasn’t had this procedure. It’s simple and really effective.

Crowns

A crown is used when the tooth is in bad shape and there isn’t enough of it left to fill. They are also used with teeth that have had a root canal and become weakened. The major drawback to this procedure is that the majority of the tooth is removed before the crown is placed. There are risks to having crowns done. There may be an allergy to the anaesthetic or the material the crown is made from. This procedure doesn’t have to be that expensive.

Dental implants

Dental implants are surgically placed when the root of the tooth is unable to be saved. The implant is fused with the patient’s own bone. There are risks with this procedure also. Some implants fail to be accepted by the patients’ body. And there is the added risk if there is an abscess. The dentist must clear it all out or it may be pushed into the jaw and cause worst problems. This procedure can be fairly expensive.

Dentists are now marketing many of these treatments as a means to achieve the ‘Hollywood Look’. If you have the funds and you want to have that look of glitz and glamour, there is no way no how that you should leave your smile to fend for itself.

This is a guest post written by Richard from the dentistry guide website, an informational resource where you can learn more about the above treatments. He is on Twitter at @thefreshhealth.
