It is sad that many people search for security everywhere but inside themselves. The truth is, that security comes from within – nothing outside can give you a sense of security, if you are insecure inside. There is nothing that can make you secure except yourself.

6 worst things you can do if you want to ignite your body’s own fat-burning furnace
6 worst things you can do if you want to ignite your body’s own fat-burning furnace and get lean, strong and totally ripped in less time:
Helena-Reet Ennet: First year has been a big success!
Exactly one year ago we opened the first women and entertainment directed news portal in the Estonian language, Gossip.ee. “It is a very special and wonderful feeling that we have acomplished so much despite the recession and gradually but firmly gained more and more readers,” says Gossip Media LLC founder and CEO Helena-Reet Ennet.
Helena-Reet: An empty bubble is inevitably going to burst sooner or later
It has recently caught my eye that many leading Estonian tabloids publish entirely unverified press reports, don´t always check up the facts coming from sort of unreliable sources, and last but not least, have been ridiculed by the artists themselves.
Helena-Reet: I’ll never wear 7′ heels again – comfort is more important!

Helena-Reet: The time we devote to our children and our family is always used in the best possible way ever!
July 10th 2009 I read a story in Naisteleht Magazine and felt it was like the best one ever. It seemed so true from the point of view of my standpoint and perspectives. It´s hard to believe that family values could be described in a more simple, clear, understanding and sympathetic way. Even though I´ve read the article for several times I know I´m going to read it all over again!
All of us are inclined to…, but why generalize… I´d rather speak for myself… I´m inclined to choose the easy way and can be irresponsible from time to time. It is not seldom I find myself engaged in some kind of nonsense while my children are watching TV … This reminds me of the interview by Epp Reinmets with Chief Rabbi of Estonia Efraim Shmuel Kot. This is my favourite part in the article: “Why do we like to watch the family life of strangers on TV and how they are doing? Instead, I´d rather play with my children and talk to my wife. Because the extent we invest in our family life affects the future of us all”.
It made me feel ashamed. However, sometimes it can be for the best. As it can drive you to better deeds and more reasonable way of thinking. Now, getting older, I realize much more deeply how important it is to devote my life to things that really do count. I get more and more disturbed by the fact that for many people counting their money is of greater value than reading the Scripture. When I asked which religion people follow, the majority answered that they were irreligious. It´s so sad really. People are in a hurry all the time – but what are they rushing for? I asked my relatives: “Can you tell me the names of my grandgrandfathers and grandgrandmothers?” No, they couldn´t.
Sadly enough I´m not a role model either -my interest in my ancestors´ history and doings has not been huge. I was not keen on finding out things when I was younger. I´m so sorry I didn´t look for the answers to my questions while my grandmothers were still alive. Now that I´m a mother of two, my grandparents have passed away and I have nobody to turn to, although there are so many questions hanging in the air. So many questions waiting for an answer… There are six pedigrees that hide interesting facts and could tell so much about the history of our ancestors – as where I and my children come from etc. Oh, I would like to know… up to Jacob, Abraham and Isaac!
But now back to the article mentioned above. For me the message is clear: “Everything starts at home! The faith, commitment and devotion we raise our children with plays a fateful role in the history, it shapes both our childrens´and our history. We have a great responsibility towards our children as they take after us while they form their own picture of the world around them. The time we devote to our children and our family is always used in the best possible way ever!

Helena-Reet: I love smooth sailing – no big ups, no big downs!
Helena-Reet‘s dream is to have happy kids. Despite her successful career, the journalist, entertainer and Ohmygossip Couture brand developer says the most important wish in her life is for her four-year-old daughter Estella Elisheva and two-year-old daughter Ivanka Shoshana — her kids with CFO partner Margus Pärn — to be content.
Helena-Reet: Without limelight in every kind of media celebs do not exist
After having worked for different magazines and online-sites for over ten years, having met over one thousand A, B and C category stars and having written over 15 000 reports, news and interviews, I can definitely claim that the majority of Estonian public figures and celebrities have no idea about how to deal with the media. Many well-known people have kind of a silly attitude to the media and as a result of it they get too little or no publicity at all or are depicted in the media in a boring way.
A celebrity is generally speaking a famous person who even makes money by being it and therefore makes every effort to be visible and stay visible in a smart and stylish way. They hire own PR experts, publicists and spokesmen. They communicate with the press and avoid tending to overestimate themselves. There are A-category stars who don´t interact with the media on a daily basis but in that case exclusively all of them have their own spokesmen or publicists who do the job. However, the final result is just the same – they do expose themselves in the media and very much so. Without limelight in every kind of media as TV, radio, newspapers and magazines they do not exist. In order to to promote themselves, their brand, a product, music, movie etc. they do need media. It´s a pity that so many very talented people in Estonia don´t want to take any chance to make PR and the rest of them who actually would like to, don´t know how to do that.
Why have so few celebrities living in Estonia made their way to the world? Why are most of them not known farther than Kapa-Kohila? For exactly the same reason – they have complexes, they are arrogant and jealous, they can´t communicate and don´t use their potential. And speaking of marketing skills – they´re nonexistent. You cant´t be too modest – show off instead that you are doing well. In the world of internet where we actually nowadays live in there a million and one chances to exhibit himself, you just have to take advantage of it.
Musicians, artists, actors, models etc. who sincerely wish to take the world with storm haven´t even got an account in the world´s biggest social communities and rarely give interviews to online-media which is universally available. However, they complain about low CD sell and too little audience and can only dream about getting an invitation to perform on an international stage. Estonian stars must learn how to relate to the media and how to promote themselves in case they don´t want to stay just a Streetcar-Taavi or a Model-Mari or a musician whose only fan of his recent single is himself.
Helena-Reet Ennet: “A-list stars do everythig for never seeing or meeting you”
OHMYGOSSIP — A-list stars do everythig for never seeing or meeting you. You can be a great fan but you are also a penny in the pocket and a tool for getting rich.
