Beauty Buzz: The Eyes Have It

Abyssine010407Since the news that they have decided to cancel The OC on Fox, I have been wiping away the tears. Well, not really, but I will miss the show--damn reality TV! Truth be told, my eyes are a little puffy and look as if they could use a boost. Luckily, Kiehls has two great products for just such an occasion.

First up is the amazing Abyssine Eye Cream with Survival Molecules and Vitamin E. It's a gentle formula that won't sting. It lasts all day and can be worn under your makeup, plumping up those tiny little lines that appear around the eyes when the skin is too dry. The eye cream retails for $30 and is available at www.kiehls.com

The other eye product we liked is the Ultra Moisturizing Eye Stick, which is a moisturizing sunscreen product. This is perfect for a day of skiing, going to gym or the beach. It goes on easily and won't pull at the skin. The stick contains squalane and Vitamin E derivative, a broad-spectrum sunscreen and Parsol 1789, which provides protection from UVA rays. This product can be worn under make up but I suggest using it for those non make-up days, as well. The moisturizing stick retails for $20 and is available at www.kiehls.com!




Body Buzz: Healthy Tips To Cut 100 or More Calories

Bodybuzz010307Now that the holidays are over and you have resumed your normal eating patterns and exercise routine, you probably need to loose 5 or 10 pounds. Without dieting here are a few easy tips to get the ball rolling to shedding the "holiday weight gain".

1. Leave behind three or four bites of your meal. Research shows that people usually eat everything they're served, even if they're not hungry.
2. Skin your chicken after cooking it. You'll retain moisture yet still strip away 148 calories and 13 grams of fat.
3. Eat your sandwiches and burgers open-faced, with one slice of bread instead of two.
4. Trade in your chocolate bar (235 calories) for a glass of light chocolate soy milk (120 calories). Silk chocolate soy milk is yummy and its great for a post workout drink!
5. Use butter-flavored nonstick spray, not a tablespoon of margarine or butter, to make grilled-cheese sandwiches and eggs.

Maneater Threads Has An Exclusive New Years Deal For You!

Promo010307 01Maneater Threads is independently owned and operated by Tanya Zilinskas in San Francisco. Tanya started the store after leaving a glamorous and busy career in Celebrity Public Relations. I asked Tanya how she came about opening her store and here is what she said- "One day I realized that I was always sort of planning out a clothing store in my head, so I just started working towards putting one together. I felt like I knew so many good designers that just weren't getting wider exposure, and I wanted to put together a store with a great selection of items that were different yet were classic enough to be wardrobe staples." Maneater Threads has a bunch of great designers, and hot items such as these Zodiac Necklaces seen here.

Body Buzz: Top Ten Fittest Male Celebrities in 2006

A few days ago we ranked the fittest female celebrities, and now it's the guys turn. This list is based upon workout routine, diet, and the physique of the person. We all know that a well balanced diet and daily exercise are the two greatest contributing factors to a healthy lifestyle. Here is a list of some of the guys that go above and beyond the call of duty to maintain their perfectly toned bodies.

Biel122906

Honorable Mention: Jessica Biel - Jessica as one of our readers stated "is more cut than LL Cool J". Jessica seriously it is one thing to have a toned body and look like Jennifer Garner when she was in Alias, but you have taken it too far. You need to slow down you look like a man with those arms and your broad shoulders.

Troy12290610. Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Christian Bale - A few words here: Troy, Troy and Batman Begins! Yeah, yeah - Troy and Batman Begins did not come out this year, but those movies are on DVD and can be enjoyed again and again. I think it's only fair to pay respect to the three hottest bods to ever grace the silver screen. They still look great this year as well, Brad keeps busy chasing the kids around and Eric and Christian still maintain a regular workout schedules.

9. Jake Gyllenhaal - Jake was all over the magazines this year with his shirt off and his perfectly toned abs. Jake enjoys surfing, skateboarding, running and cycling with pals Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey.

Threesome122906

8. Justin Timberlake and Usher - These two singing and dancing hotties keep their bodies finely tuned with a rigorous abs and weight training workout. Justin also enjoys extreme sports and has been spotted many times surfing the waves of the Pacific.

The top seven picks for most fit male celebrities of 2006 are after the jump.

Beauty Buzz: Top Ten Hottest Guys of 2006

Guys122806 01Ladies now it's your turn for some fun after hours of research leaving my personal opinions out (Tom Brady, Eric Bana, Christian Bale and Julian McMahon). I give you the list of the top ten hottest guys in the entertainment industry. I comprised the list of course based on looks, and most importantly buzz from the past year. This list is to be enjoyed with a nice glass of merlot or some Godiva chocolates.

10. Jude Law - Despite the trouble with the nanny and Sienna, Jude is one of the hottest guys in Hollywood. With his dirty blonde hair and gorgeous eyes, it's no wonder women swoon for Jude. His success and playful nature in the film, "The Holiday," made us forget his troubled love life and fall in love with him all over again.

9. Nick Lachey - To quote a classic pick-up line from a friend of mine, "he's got a body like a sex fiend". In a word, the man is fine. He has a great smile and arms and abs that basically make me want to lick them all night long. As if that weren't enough, he describes himself as a true romantic at heart. What's not to love?

8. John Legend - This Ohio-born singer songwriter has had quite an impressive year. With the recent success of his album, three Grammys and a memorable performance at the pre-game show at the Super Bowl in Detroit under his belt, I'd say he's not doing too bad at all. His sexy voice, those beautiful eyes combined with a killer smile make it hard not to love John Legend.

Guy122806 027. Adrian Grenier - With another successful season of Entourage under his belt, and a supporting role in one of the year's hottest films, it's easy to see why Adrian is in demand. Along with being musically talented, he also cares about the environment too. He has the most beautiful blue-green eyes, a great smile and not to mention a fabulous head of hair that has the power to make any girl want to run their fingers through it!

The top six hottest guys of 2006 are after the jump.




Body Buzz: Top Ten Most Fit Females In 2006

Fit122706 02Let's face it - lists are just plain fun! I thought I would rank the most fit female celebrities based on diet and exercise routines. We all watch the television or the big screen and wonder how they manage to look so fit and healthy all the time (well most celebrities - the ones with the eating disorders will be left out of this list). Hollywood celebrities are real (despite the fact that some of their images in the media are digitally enhanced), they struggle with the same weight and exercise challenges as we all do, but here are a few who have a rigorous plan to keep them looking young and healthy.

10. Heidi Klum - Heidi has had three kids and she looks so wonderful! Her workout routine includes a strict program of cardio and strength training. The Ultimate New York diet is what got her supermodel ready after giving birth to her second child, which combines healthy eating and exercise with fast results and long term good health.

9. Madonna - Madge has never looked better she is approaching fifty and looking fabulous! Madonna needs to be in excellent shape with all the dancing and movement she incorporates into her performances, she had a personal trainer but now practices Ashtanga Yoga. This method of Yoga involves synchronizing the breath with progressive series of postures--a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

8. Gisele Bundchen - This Brazilian beauty enjoys volleyball and extreme sports to keep her supermodel figure in shape! Gisele has been noted as having "The bod that launched 1,000 fitness memberships." One of her friends tattles that she "eats like a pig", but the key for her is maintaining an active lifestyle with windsurfing and Pilates.

The top seven fittest females are after the jump.




Beauty Buzz: Top Ten Most Beautiful Women of 2006

Bw122606 01The end of the year is always filled with top 100 lists or "best of" lists, ranging from all sorts of subjects, from beauty, style to videos--what have you. Whatever you want, there's a list for it! And, not to be outdone, I've compiled my own list of the most beautiful female celebrities of 2006. But don't worry ladies, I'll be doing a Top Ten list for the guys as well!

10. Adriana Lima - This Brazilian Beauty has graced the cover of the Victoria's Secret catalog all year long. The 25-year-old made quite a splash at the runway shows this year as well. Adriana can transform herself into a sultry bedroom vixen or a regular girl next door with make-up and style, making her my number ten choice.

9. Charlize Theron - Charlize has a signature style of natural beauty. Her make-up always looks fresh and clean. What makes her most attractive is those long legs that most guys wouldn't mind having wrapped around them. She often looks as if she's stepped out of a time machine from 1940's Hollywood Glam!

8. Jennifer Connelly - In the previews for her new movie, "Blood Diamond," Jennifer Connelly looks stunningly beautiful. This Brooklyn native is a tall, gorgeous brunette with exotic, dark, thick brows and happens to have one of the best smiles I have ever seen.

The rest of the top 10 list is after the jump.




Body Buzz: Find The Perfect Jeans For Your Body!

Jeans1 122206Finding the right pair of jeans that makes us look slim and sexy can be more challenging than finding Teckno the Robotic Puppy for someone on your Christmas list. With so many designer denim jeans on the market these days it can be a real challenge to find the perfect pair that compliments your body type. We all want to have a pair of jeans to fit our body type and give us the best shape possible, however it can be very costly and time consuming to find the perfect adorable pair of jeans with just the right fit. Here is a list of jeans from slim to curvy, and short to tall that will help you to make better decisions for what will work and what does not.

Denim for Petite and Short Figures - If you have a short figure, look for jeans with a shorter inseam and a higher knee break to lengthen the leg. An inseam of 30 to 32 inches will give you a better fit through the knees to the leg opening. The AG Angel jeans are great for the petite frame. They are slim through the leg and come in a 32 inch inseam. Wearing them with a pair of heels will elongate the legs, so you appear taller than you really are. Also try the Diesel Cherone Jones and Joe's Jeans Provocateur.

Beauty Buzz: Is Miss USA: A Role Model For Drunken Coked Up Sluts?

Tconner122106

The controversy surrounding the allegations of Miss USA Tara Connor has made headlines all week. Many people have weighed in on the issue many celebrities, former Miss USA's even people at offices around the country. Everyone seems to have an opinion and now its time for mine. When did we start becoming a society that says it's okay to give second chances to those who blatantly fuck up their jobs? Miss USA is a role model and a public figure who promotes poise and purpose for women everywhere in this country.

I am pretty sure that Tara was given a very detailed job description for the position of Miss USA, and I am almost certain that no where in the contract did it say "Act like a drunken idiot and drug addict". I don't care what Miss USA does in her personal life, I am not one to judge but when you become a public figure you have to watch everything you do. I am not saying that there are not room for mistakes we all make them, but come on seriously Tara did you really think that it was okay to "get caught up in the whirlwind of big city life" and that all would be forgiven cause your little Miss Ellie Mae from Kentucky? Please grow up- not only did you get caught but you broke the law you were drinking underage and what does that say to young women who look up to you? You should be ashamed of yourself- this is where common sense comes into play and you my young friend.
