No crunchy, munchy granola-head garb, just fresh style

I drink your milkshake and maybe some water too. Like my dress? It used to be a PET bottle!

We know that florals are huge for Spring, but we're not always the most flowery sweet around here.

But when we heard that H&M's new The Garden Collection is made from sustainable materials, recycled PET bottles, or textile waste we decided to take a peek.

You know what?

These clothes are darn cute and, best off, eco-friendly in a rather chic way!

20 ways to add MORE to your life, this year and forever!

When I qualified as a Doctor at 25 years old, I thought I knew everything there was to know about health and medicine.

By the age of 30, I realized my medical training was limited and I didn’t really know much about health and wellness.

So I went on a journey of discovery to expand my horizons and studied acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Functional medicine, nutrition, yoga and Buddhism.

By 50, I realized my life training was limited too as my daughter (a teenager at the time) was pointing out “how stupid” I was.

And now that I am 55, I realize I have amassed a lot of knowledge but have so much more to learn.

Blink Me: Agyness Deyn channels Peggy Moffitt

Here's a makeup trick that we don't recommend you try at home: Crazy long false lower lashes.

The eyelashes gone mad look, a la the Lashisse video parody, below, was spotted on the spring runways and looks fab in a wild theatrical way.

But in real life, maybe not so much.

Except, if you are model Agyness Deyn who was most definitely channeling 60's mod mannequin Peggy Moffitt- you know, of the Rudi Gernreich topless bathing suit fame -- when she collected the Brand of the Year Award at the ACE Awards on behalf of Burberry, last night.

The Doctor is in. Tips to help stave off the H1N1 swine flu from Dr. Frank Lipman...

Summer is over and the question I am being asked most frequently in my practice is, “what do I do about Swine flu?” My patients are wondering whether or not they should get vaccinated and the simple answer I give most of the time is ..NO!

From what you may have read, you might think that the swine flu vaccine is the answer to swine flu. Unfortunately this is not true and until we know that the vaccine is safe, I cannot in good conscience recommend it to most of my patients.

From the outset, let me say, I am not anti all vaccinations, rather I am pro vaccine safety and freedom of choice.

Fashion Week beauty prep to stay pretty all day long…

Looking for a time saving tip to keep your makeup fresh and fabulous for Fashion Week?

Use a generous amount of loose powder under your eyes before applying your eye shadow. Now you don’t have to worry about your eye shadow sprinkling under your eyes and becoming messy when you try to clean it up when you apply eye shadow.

The trick is that the shadow will fall right on top of the loose powder and when you have finished applying your eye makeup, you will see that when you lightly dust away the loose powder, the excess shadow dusts right off with the powder without a mess.

Ta-da!

Part Two: The beauty of self-confidence…

Did you ever notice how when you’re feeling confident, happy, positive and I-feel-oh-so-fabulous people tell you how great you look? Well, that’s no surprise. The authentic quality of confidence is the oldest beauty secret in the book.

No bronzer or shimmery blush can create it. Not even high lights, low lights or a blow out can produce that internal shine that comes from a truly confident woman.

Part One- The best-ever foods to prevent aging….

Nobody wants to age. Nobody wants wrinkles or a waddly neck. So, how do we battle the aging process? Well, the quickest answer is---the way your skin and body ages depends on how you treat your body, inside and out!

Here’s what most people don’t get: your aesthetic beauty depends more on the strength of your digestion and metabolism, the quality of your sleep, how often you have a bowel movement, the foods you eat and the cleanliness of your liver than on scrubs, cleansers and anti-wrinkle creams that cost you your entire paycheck. When you proactively take care of your internal health, your external appearance will truly radiate with that envied youthful glow.

When Doves Fly Off the Shelf, the arm-pity party continues...

We make no bones about our ongoing fixation with why an otherwise polished woman would walk around with a nasty amount of armpit stubble. Even more mystifying is that it’s the woman with the rather ambitious amount of armpit hair real estate who enjoys the three day stubble look. It’s just gross and mars whatever attempt you are making at looking together.

Well, Dove has come out with a product to appeal to both the super obsessed and laziest of hygiene afficionados, with its launch of Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Persprirant Deodorant.
