Nicky sure loves her luxe accessories. Between her python Louboutins and leopard Alexander Wang bag is a simple Summer 'fit. We've been seeing so many army green pants, it's refreshing to see little shorts. A black burnout tank, black and silver bracelets, chocolate brown belt, and Nicky's favorite mirrored aviators make for the ultimate urban chic vibe.

Looks like I am not alone when it comes to my love of french fries since they topped many users' lists for favorite cheat foods. A lot of you offered some great suggestions for healthy alternatives. Check these out:
If these suggestions don't work for you or fries are not your weakness, you can always follow Nitrobezene's advice – eat the food you love, just eat less of it. I like onesong's philosophy too – eat what you are craving, but eat healthy foods and healthy portions for the rest of the day.
Who doesn't love the taste of melted butter on a freshly baked muffin? Although that creamy taste is unforgettable, we all know that butter isn't exactly healthy for us because it contains artery-clogging saturated fat and cholesterol.
Margarine is in no way a better option because most of them are made with hydrogenated oils that are high in trans fat. Why are trans fats so bad? They actually raise the bad cholesterol in our bodies and lower the good cholesterol.
I've got a better choice. Have you ever tried Earth Balance? It comes in a tub like other butter alternatives, but it contains no trans-fat whatsoever. It's not made with hydrogenated oils, but rather is a blend of natural vegetable oils including canola and olive.
Ok, so it's healthier for you, but does it taste good? Yes!! It really does. It has a light buttery flavor, that melts just like butter on warm bread. Plus Earth Balance is dairy-free, so it's a great alternative if you are lactose intolerant. You can use it in place of butter when spreading, cooking, or even baking.
Fit's Tips: Look for it in the dairy section next to the butter and margarine. Most health food stores carry it, and I've also been happy to see it on the shelves of mainstream grocery stores.
Does Valentine's Day make you feel bitter, sweet, or bittersweet? Seems like we all just made it through Christmas and New Year's and now here we are "celebrating" another a holiday loaded with crazy expectations. It is easy to feel bad if you are alone, it is easy to feel disappointed in your partner, it is easy to eat way too much chocolate (it may be good for you, but in small doses - let's remember that).
If you do not like Valentine's Day you are not alone - seems like there's a little anti-VD subculture out there, and by VD I do not mean a sexually transmitted disease.
Here are a few alternative web sites for you to check out. You can read how other folks feel about the day of cupids and even leave your own rant too.
