Eat Spaghetti and Still Fit Into Your Skinny Jeans
To many of us, "diet" is a four-letter word. And rightfully so. Starving yourself thin or keeping track of each bite like pennies in your checkbook is no way to live. So what's a girl with skinny jean dreams supposed to do?

Teresa Giudice has the answer. In fact, she was born with it. The first-generation Italian-American mom of four and svelte star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey credits her knockout figure to her Old World upbringing. And now, in her fun, encouraging, and budget-friendly cookbook, she skewers the myth that looking fabulous has to be a chore.

Laura Pausini's album "la mia risposta" proves again how wonderfully gifted and talented she is, her voice is so incredibly powerful throughout each of the songs. I truly appreciate this romantic language called "italian", and no matter if the songs are more fast paced or slow, each one is special in its own way. Just the music alone is wonderful. If you ever wondered about owning anything italian, go right ahead and make this CD part of your collection. You won't regret it. I listen to it very often in my car and it lets me pretend I am cruising through the italian countryside. It would be great to see her in concert in the US sometime soon, I think she will find a widespread appreciation. One of my favorite songs on this album are "stanotte stai con me" (tonight stay with me) and "che bene mi fai". Buenisimo!!!!
