Tyra Banks: I Don't Have to Shave My Legs

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 04:01:00 PDT

Many women would say that shaving their legs is their least favorite beauty task, but for Tyra Banks, there's no need to bother with the the razors-and-shaving-cream rigmarole in the first place. Tyra explains to Life & Style, "I don't have to shave my legs," adding, "The hair is so faint, you don't even see it." Not all of us are as lucky as Tyra (although what law ever said anyone had to shave their legs, anyway?), who admits there have been times she actually has whipped out the razor. "I used to shave my legs for the Victoria's Secret fashion show . . . and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue shoot," she quips. Look for Life & Style out on newsstands Friday nationwide, and tell us: if you have fine or light-toned hair, do you forgo shaving, too?

Brooklyn, Audrina, and Cameron Share Their Bikini Secrets

FitSugar — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 05:50:29 PDT

Summer is in full swing! If you're like me, you've already been to a beach, river, or lake for some outdoor water fun. Even though a lot of you said you've been working hard to get in shape for bikini season, many of you are still worried about wearing a two-piece. Stars Brooklyn Decker, Audrina Patridge, and Cameron Diaz recently shared with Life & Style their secrets for getting bikini-ready - even at the last minute.

Check the tips out here:

Brooklyn Decker focuses on toning - especially by doing ab exercises. She also eats a diet high in lean protein and healthy fats, which include Greek yogurt and nuts. But when shooting the Sports Illustrated cover, she was encouraged to eat whatever she wanted: "Sports Illustrated is never about losing weight. They encourage girls to eat cheeseburgers the night before a shoot because they love girls who are a little bit curvier."
Audrina Patridge keeps her diet as clean as possible during beach season. She cuts down on carbs, sticking to lean proteins and leafy greens. "I also love shots of wheat grass . . .When I want to kick it up a notch, I get Sunfare meals delivered." Sunfare delivers already cooked meals to your door based on a "30/40/30" formula. All meals and snacks are comprised of 30 percent lean proteins; 40 percent whole wheat, low-carb or fresh, low-glycemic carbohydrates; and 30 percent monounsaturated fat.
Cameron Diaz works out with trainer Teddy Bass to stay lean and toned. Teddy told Life & Style that the trick to looking like Cameron is "doing combination exercises that blast multiple muscles at once, like squats with shoulder presses." Check out this arm workout that Teddy designed for Cameron.

Kourtney Kardashian Shares Her Bikini Body Tips

FitSugar — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 10:00:08 PDT

Kourtney Kardashian is back in the pages of Life & Style this week, but this time she is sharing her secrets for getting bikini ready. In case you missed it, Kourtney was on the cover just a few weeks ago revealing how she dropped 33 pounds after giving birth to baby Mason. Here's a preview of the bikini tips Kourt shared with Life & Style:

Start small: "I used to always get a chai latte from Starbucks, but I just switched to one espresso shot. I'm allowing myself one serving of caffeine while breastfeeding [Mason], and the latte was really all sugar and milk." Kourtney also tells Life & Style that she cut out other unnecessary calories, like those from juice and dehydrated fruits. "I was eating a lot of dried fruit, and I didn’t realize how much sugar that added. And now I'll eat raw almonds instead of salted ones."
Know what works best for your body: Kourtney tells Life & Style that she likes the weight she gained in her bottom while pregnant so she's found exercises that will help her keep her booty, but also tone and lift it. "I want to try to do squats - stuff that will keep the booty up there."

To see more tips,

Find a sport you love and run with it: "I'm big on running - just putting on my iPod Shuffle and going for a run by my house." Kourtney also uses the treadmill or elliptical at her mom's house.
Keep your menu fresh: "Frozen yogurt tastes so chemically to me because I’ve been eating salads and salmon and chicken. Fresh food is so much better."

Kourtney Kardashian Shares Her Weight Loss Tips

FitSugar — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 03:00:04 PDT

As we shared with you yesterday, Kourtney Kardashian has slowly been getting back to her prepregnancy body: in just under four months, the reality star has dropped almost all of her pregnancy weight. While she lost 12 pounds from the birth itself, Kourtney has worked hard to lose another 21 and recently shared with Life & Style how she managed to take it off. But even though she's losing weight, she says her body has definitely changed as a result of breastfeeding and having a baby: "I really like having this womanly body. Khloé keeps slapping my butt because she loves that I have a booty now!"

Check out some of Kourtney's weight loss tips here:

Tailor exercise to your life: Fit fitness into your hectic schedule even if it's just for a few minutes. Since Kourtney is on breastfeeding duty every two hours, she schedules exercising around Mason's feeding schedule. "I can jog right outside the house for 30 minutes," she tells Life & Style, "and save the time it takes to drive to the gym."

Use the buddy system: To stay motivated, "Kourtney jogs with Khloé on the beach in Miami and takes classes with Kim when in LA." Working out with a buddy is often more fun, and you can challenge each other to work harder.
Don’t stress over slumps: "A few weeks after I had Mason, my weight kind of stopped dropping," Kourtney tells Life & Style. "It had been dropping, dropping, dropping, then for a good week or two, I was the same weight every day. I was like, 'OK, I have to step it up.'" Her fix? Adding weight training to her regimen.
Allow small indulgences: Whether you want to reward yourself or not feel deprived, allow yourself treats now and again. Kourtney refuses to give up peanut butter M&M’s. "I can't just deprive myself every day," she says.

Kourtney Kardashian Shows Off Bikini Bod to Life & Style

FitSugar — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:50:36 PDT

Kourtney Kardashian gave an exclusive post-pregnancy body reveal to Life & Style this week. In the interview, 5-foot-3 Kourtney shares that she's lost 33 pounds since giving birth almost four months ago in December and is finally "comfortable being in a bikini again." This exclusive interview comes two months after OK! Magazine falsified reports that Kourtney dropped all of her pregnancy weight in January. Kourtney gained 40 pounds while pregnant and says that even though she is still seven pounds away from her goal of 100 pounds, she is excited about her body again.

Meanwhile, Scott Disick, Mason's father, is happy with Kourtney whatever her size:

"Scott told me recently that he could tell my body was changing. He also said he could tell I'm noticing it because I'll do these stupid dances in the mirror . . . he's always complimentary. He loved my post-baby body, but I think he's excited I'm getting my old body back too."

Kourtney is making the most of her new bod these days by soaking up the sun in Miami with baby sis Kim.

Molly Sims Geeks Out With Her Decorated DS

GeekSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:30:16 PDT

I spy with my little eye, something shiny and sparkly! In this week's issue of Life & Style, Molly Sims was caught showing off her bling'd out white Nintendo DS (one of my favorite portable devices ever) at a recent event. We're giving away our own white DS, but lucky Molly has had hers covered with black and pink crystals in the shape of a sexy pump. How very Sex and the City, no?

Although L&S dubbed her a "Diva" for glamming up her gaming gadget, I think it's totally geek chic. But who would have thought otherwise coming from a fashion powerhouse like Molly Sims!? What do you think of her decorated DS?
