A WOMAN revealed she buys used ‘crusty’ thongs from charity shops to seduce her husband. The woman, called Apple, appeared on TLC Extreme Cheapskates , sharing her tips to get a makeover on a budget. She says women can spend hundreds of dollars on themselves in preparation for a romantic night, but she’s doing it all on a shoestring budget. Apple, from the US, says: “I plan to put the spark back in our relationship by surprising Vic with a romantic evening. “I’m going to go all out with my full-on body makeover. “The typical lady spends hundreds of dollars in the salon doing their hair or waxing.

October 24, 2018 - 10:36 BST Carla Challis The Duchess of Cornwall stunned in a beautiful diamond tiara for a state dinner at Buckingham Palace with step-daughter-in-law Kate Middleton The Duchess of Cornwall looked stunning at a state banquet on Tuesday night, held at Buckingham Palace in honour of a UK visit by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Maxima of the Netherlands.

A mum 'fat-shamed by a camel' on a holiday with her pals shed a whopping 10st - and then scooped the top prize in a bodybuilding competition. Carla Sheard, who ballooned to 18st at her heaviest while binge-eating takeaways and sweet treats, shrunk to a petite size 8 after hitting the gym and eating healthy, home-cooked meals. The mum-of-two got the motivation she needed to tackle her bulging waistline after a mortifying experience on a trip to Tunisia in 2014. While queuing for a camel ride, the organiser glanced at then 20-year-old Carla and declared 'you big lady, you (need) big camel'. After wandering off to find a bigger beast, 5ft 2in Carla was unceremoniously hauled onto its back by three burly men while the rest of the group looked on. Red-faced Carla, 27, vowed to make a change and when she got home she joined Slimming World and lost a stone. After her initial success the full-time mum's healthy eating habits went by the wayside when she fell pregnant. But … [Read more...] about Mum ‘fat shamed by a camel’ loses 10 stone and wins bodybuilding competition
