Brittany Spears? Workout For Her Comeback!

Time for a comeback! Brittany seems to be finally getting herself back on track… getting those 6-packs abs that we all hated her for back in the “I’m A Slave For You” days. I hate to admit it but I do love Brittany for her ability as a performer. The girl isn’t the greatest singer, [...]

Drinking Alcohol to Shrink?

Alcohol and your weight have a tricky relationship. So tricky, in fact, that experts have had a tough time nailing down exactly why some women wind up with a beer gut (or butt) while others drink daily and never seem to gain a pound.

Here's what we know: Your average drink?beer, wine, martini, pick your poison?is usually a combination of carbs, sugar, and ethanol (pure alcohol). When it goes down the hatch, it makes a pit stop at your stomach, where some of the alcohol is absorbed through the lining and into your bloodstream, giving you that initial buzz. The carbs and sugar go the traditional digestive route, while ethanol, a toxin, is diverted to the liver.

Want Sexy, Easy Hair? Get Disheveled

UNDONE UPDO
1/ Blow-dry your hair straight, then spray dry shampoo onto the roots and ends of your hair, massaging it in to create volume and texture.

2/ Gather your hair at the nape of your neck, then twist it up toward the top of your head (in a French twist). Anchor it with one or two small claw clips.

3/ If you have loose ends at the top of your twist, fold them down and tuck them in along the twist. Secure with bobby pins.

4/ Use your fingers to rustle the front of your hair so that random face-framing pieces fall loose. You can also pull out longer bangs in the front (if you have them) for a more undone look. Mist all over with medium-hold hair spray to ensure the twist stays put.

MESSY BOB
1/ Let hair air-dry, then make a center part. Mist dry shampoo through your hair from roots to ends to create a piecey look.

2/ Loosely gather your hair at the nape of your neck, then roll and tuck your ends underneath the rest of your hair to create a faux bob. Secure the rolled-under section with randomly spaced bobby pins or small claw clips.

Look Young: Your Fanny Or Your Face?

It's another sunny day in Miami Beach, and the waiting room of cosmetic dermatologist Leslie Baumann, M.D., is packed with lean, bronzed women, lined up like pretzel sticks in a box. Among them is Sarah,* the 39-year-old host of a local TV show, who's frantic about her glabellar lines—that's skin-speak for the vertical lines (a.k.a. 11's) that tend to show up between the eyebrows when you hit your mid to late thirties. She seems a little annoyed, but that's partly the lines' fault.

See, in addition to making you look older, they can give you a slightly pissed-off appearance. Old and angry isn't a look any woman covets, certainly not one who makes her living as a personality on a morning television show.

From the neck down, Sarah could pass for a high school athlete. Weighing in at 120 pounds, with a tight little butt and flat abs, she's fitter than she was as a teenager. The old face/young body contradiction is one that's familiar to Baumann, who has been known to tell clients in the past, "Sorry, you just might have to choose between your face and your rear end."
