Get Your Butt in Gear: North Face Allure Jacket
Ahh, Winter is here and many of you may be totally psyched that you can finally snap on you skis or board and hit the snow. It won't be any fun though if you're cold or wet, so you need a good, solid jacket that'll keep you warm and dry.

Get the Bod: Padma Lakshmi
Former model, cookbook author, and host of Top Chef Padma Lakshmi has got it going on.

Reality Check: Ali Larter Is Insecure, Just Like the Rest of Us
While reading a recent issue of Allure magazine I found myself confronted with the fact that when it all comes down to it, all women are plagued with insecurities, even if you're Ali Larter. Here are highlights:
"I’m an indulger, but then I have to be good," the actress says. "I’m also going to get my butt out and go for a run tomorrow."
Get Your Butt in Gear: North Face Bib
I used to hate skiing because whenever I fell in the snow (which was quite often), snow would get up my back and down my pants making me wet and miserable. All that's in the past now, and I love rolling around in the snow because now I have a bib. A bib is essentially like over-alls, so they go all the way up to your chest and have straps that go over your shoulders.
Fittingly Mad: Direct Marketing by American Spirit Cigarettes
