Britney Spears' Diet and Fitness Regime Revealed
2008-04-29 10:54:00
Britney Spears
has been in the news almost every day for the past year or so, ever since her previously picture-perfect life has taken a downward spiral and became the sometimes annoying, otherwise mildly entertaining circus we all know it to be. From a bitter divorce and a still-raging custody battle to a substance addiction, two rehab stints, a mental breakdown and two trips to the psych ward, Britney's done it all. No later than three months ago, the former pop princess' fall from grace seemed complete and definitive. However, thankfully for Britney, things took a turn for the better when her father Jamie was given complete control over her life by means of a conservatorship – and when her former manager Larry Rudolph returned to her side and started working on improving her disastrou

A luxurious, richly scented bubble bath is one of the fastest, safest ways to rid ourselves of daily stress and whatever frustrations we may be harboring deep down inside. The prospect of a good, long soak in the fragrant, bubbly water, surrounded by softly burning candles may be one of those girly clichés guys like to make fun of, but it's often the only thing that keeps me going during the last few hours spent in front of the computer on those never-ending weekday evenings. As a result, I'll introduce you to three of this summer's bathroom must-haves – and it's not particularly the flavors that I'm praising here, bur rather the concepts.

The Spectacular Return of the Fringe
2008-04-29 10:36:00
The fringe made a spectacular return on the trendiest hairstyles list last year - however, there were several months towards the end of the interval when we all thought the fringe craze was finally coming to a (quiet) end and would slowly die down. And then uber-style icon that is Kate Moss went and got herself a tousled, just-out-of-bed style fringe, with the instant result that the madness re-ignited almost overnight. Consequently, the fringe is one of the hottest hairstyle trends this year, and if you're considering getting one yourself, you've come to the right place for a small crash course in how to best choose a style that suits you.The first thing you have to know is that the fringe-mania is mainly centered on three major types of fringes: the blunt-cut fringe, the Kate Moss hairdo

Easy (and Cheap) Tips for Refreshing Your Wardrobe
2008-04-29 02:52:00
Despite the moody weather, our desk calendars don't lie: it's the end of April and every day that passes brings us closer to those long, breezy summer days we have been dreaming about ever since Christmas. However, the more fashion-obsessed among us might find that summer is just an extra reason to panic. We've all been there, we've all been through the "walk to the wardrobe, open it and scream" routine at least a couple of times in our lives, complete with a pitiful wail that goes something like "I'm on a budget, I have nothing new and trendy to wear, and I'm never leaving the house again". Slammed door. Sound of bed creaking. Lots of tears.I can't pretend to know the answer to the ever-green question of "how do I get to look fabulous without exceeding my credit card limit... again?", but

This Season's Must-Have: Scarf Madness All Over Again
2008-04-29 02:33:00
Scarves never seem to go out of fashion – and this summer, word on the fashionably chic... well, not streets... rather boulevards is that no outfit, however stylishly cut, is deemed classy enough without a little helping hand from a colorful scarf. Of course, most of us ladies have come to learn first-hand exactly how versatile a friend a good scarf can be, with its many uses and uncanny ability to lend warmth, substance and grace to just about any old outfit you may get your hands on.The other great thing about scarves – be they plush triple-ply cashmere, silk or plain cotton – is that they don't necessarily have to be designer-made in order to make you look simply fabulous. Of course, most fashion authorities would dictate that if you ever showed yourself willing to invest a small

Victoria Beckham's Japanese Diet
2008-04-29 02:26:00
When it comes to putting the words "Victoria Beckham
" and "diet" in the same sentence usually signals the beginning of a very long expose, riddled with rhetoric questions such as "does she really starve herself" or "I wonder if it's possible for any other woman out there to keep that thin". The fact is, it all becomes much less impressive and more down-to-earth the moment we are all aware of the fact that Victoria's weight is not the result of a crash diet or of a constant, self-punishing abstinence form food, but rather the direct consequence of a choice in lifestyle. To be more precise, Victoria's diminutive frame and her waspish waist are a by-product of Mrs. Beckham's love for what is generally known as "the Japanese
diet"."I eat really healthy, I love Japanese food, lots of fish, any

Swap Your Ketchup for Hot, Tasty Salsa
2008-04-29 02:19:00
Whenever we talk about salsa, it's quite easy for us to get lost in a vision of a world filled with colorful, spicy and deliciously flavored dishes, and forget that the very "salsa" word actually means "sauce" - and not just any sauce, but a specific combination of chopped tomatoes, onions, chilies and cilantro, characteristic of Mexican cuisine. However, salsa has suffered the fate of many other traditional brands of food and due to its consumer success, it became an umbrella concept that readily designates a huge variety of tomato-based hot sauces used as dips and side dishes, with varying degrees of faithfulness to the original Mexican recipes. Nutritionists say that apart from a delicious treat for die-hard Mexican food lovers, salsa is in fact very good news for all those with a passi

Top Five Mistakes that Will Ruin Your Fitness Efforts
2008-04-29 02:12:00
All of us have excellent reasons for deciding to try our hands (or rather, whole bodies) at a fitness regime – but those of us who have already been there also know that once we start, it's not so easy to keep up the good work. Just like any other human activity, exercise is first of all a matter of will and personal motivation. Once we decide we're actually going to do it, once we work out our goals, get ourselves off the living room couch and into the right mind set, there's no stopping a good and productive workout – or is it?You'd actually be surprised at how easy it is to become disillusioned with an otherwise excellent fitness regime, all because of a series of apparently harmless little mistakes and oversights that mostly have to do with our brains and not with the state of our
