Beauty pageant queens swear by this tip for avoiding a dry mouth. Can it work for the rest of us?

Using petroleum jelly to help you smile more easily, and for longer.In our picture- and video-heavy worlds, smiling for long periods of time is becoming an occupational hazard. Like having to look enthusiastic during a Zoom meeting or overjoyed at a dull wedding.

According to pageant queens, simply use a little petroleum jelly on your teeth. I put it to the test during a photoshoot, where I’m required to smile all day – which is both deeply un-goth and tiring, actually. I swipe a small amount of petroleum jelly over my teeth after I apply my lipstick.And, despite being initially dubious about how much it would help, it did help me smile more easily, because my lips didn’t get stuck to my teeth at all. It also stopped me getting lipstick on my teeth.

Alice Springs residents ‘leaving in droves’ because they ‘no longer feel safe’Residents in the town of Alice Springs are leaving in droves because they no longer feel safe amid the high rate of crime, according to Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson. Mr Paterson said the community wasn’t ready for the alcohol ban to be lifted. “We need to go and introduce alcohol management plan straight away, and we also need more resources such as police and health workers in hospital,” he told Sky News Australia. “When I say people are leaving in droves, they are also police and health. “Those two services are completely under-resourced, so if something does continue to go wrong, then you know who knows what will happen.” Where are you Albo? Buggered and need a break? Labor wont help. Good on you Albo! Labor fiddles while Alice burns
