Helen Mirren Admires Her Husband

Written by: Jordasche Bledsoe on 9 December 2009 | One Comment |

Helen Mirren says her husband of 12 years, filmmaker Taylor Hackford, is not the least bit romantic. While this would bother a lot of women Helen says she doesn’t mind.

The actress had the following to say on the matter to WENN:

“Taylor isn’t romantic, but what I get on the other side is so much better. Loyalty and truthfulness and, you know, manliness in the proper sense. I’d take those qualities over a romantic evening with a bullshitter any time.”

She continues saying:

“I have the incredible advantage of having a husband who is both loyal and understanding, and in response I give him back loyalty and understanding, too. We couldn’t be married without that. I admire my husband, which is essential. I don’t think you can fall in love with someone just because you admire them. But I don’t think, either, that you can fall in love with someone unless you admire them in the first place. And I admire my husband considerably.”

Every couple works differently. I’m happy for Helen that she is happy.

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A

Q: "My co-worker frequently buys me coffee but won’t let me treat her. Should I insist on repaying her? "

A: "This sort of kindness is rare, so it’s natural you’d want to reciprocate. But if you have offered to repay (or treat) her and she resists, there’s no need to insist on giving her money.

Also try not to feel bad that she always pays. Coffee isn’t a big expense, and it sounds like she enjoys treating you. She may do it because she appreciates your friendship or support at work. Or perhaps she likes having an excuse to get out of the office and doesn’t mind shelling out a few extra dollars for you. Regardless, just thank her each time she pays. Then, every once in a while, surprise her with a tin of cookies or muffins. Or once a month or so, tell her you are taking her out for lunch. "

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A

Q: "What’s the deal with ingrown hairs? Why do I get them, and more importantly, how do I get rid of them?"

A: "There’s no easy answer as to why you get them. Ingrown hairs are more noticeable in men with really thick hair -- as ingrown hairs are more prevalent in people with thick hair -- or dark hair with light skin. However, there are a couple of key things you can do to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.

First of all, it helps to understand the evolution of an ingrown hair: After hair removal, as the hair starts growing back, the sharp tip of the hair curls back in on itself and digs into the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. If you do get one, remember this mantra: Put down the tweezers. Plucking ingrown hairs invariably fails and causes additional irritation. Instead, try applying an over-the-counter cortisone cream to help relieve inflammation, then head to a laser dermatologist for laser hair removal (no, not removal of all your hair -- just the problem ones). Realistically, laser’s the only long-term solution for ingrown hairs.

Electrolysis isn’t practical because of the number and thickness of hairs involved. And as for waxing, well, remember the 40-year-old Virgin? Enough said."
