FitSugar — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 03:00:00 PST

The gift-giving holidays are just around the corner and to spare you some of the last-minute shopping stress the Sugar sites are creating ever-helpful gift guides.

I'm sure you've got a cousin, sibling, or other relative who spends their winters hitting the ski slopes. Here are some ideas the skier in your life is sure to appreciate.

Darn Tough Boot Socks: These merino wool socks will wick moisture away from your feet and keep you warm. What's even better? The foot and lower leg have extra cushioning so these socks will keep your legs comfy in your ski boots.
Burton Gore-Tex 3-in-1 Over Mittens: These mittens can be worn three ways. Either wear the outer Gore-Tex liner alone to stay dry, wear the removable fleece liners alone to stay warm or wear them together on extra chilly days.
Anon Realm Goggles: These goggles not only protect your eyes from damaging UV rays and the bright glare that bounces off the snow, but they keep your eyes safe from debris and snow that might get kicked up while racing down the mountain. These Anon Realm Goggles have quality lenses with anti-fogging properties.

Darn Tough Full Cushion Sock ($19.95)

Burton Gore-Tex Mittens ($64.95)

Anon Realm Goggles ($119.95)

Get Moving and Say I Do: Ways to Incorporate Fitness Into Your Wedding

Jenny Sugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 12:45:11 PDT

Fitness fanatics have a tough time separating workouts from life, so why should their wedding be any different? Here are some ways to bring an active lifestyle into your big day.

Send out fitness-themed save-the-date cards with you and your partner doing something active, like standing on surfboards with a sign that says, "Water you waiting for? Put this date on your calendar!" Or use a play on words like, "Jenny's finally running away with Mike." You can also design your invitations with exercise in mind. Have them look like a poster advertising a race or use illustrations that depict your favorite sport, such as golf balls and clubs.
If your wedding is going to be over a long weekend, plan activities that'll get folks moving. Hire a yoga instructor to teach a class; plan a scenic bike ride, morning run, or woodsy walk; or play a friendly game of beach volleyball (just make sure the bride's face stays far away from the ball).

Freaky or Fabulous? The Gorilla Arm Trend For Fall 2011

Noria Morales — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:37:05 PST

Fur, both real and faux, returned for Fall, and one of the most interesting incarnations of the furry stuff was the debut of the gorilla arm. By that, we mean the seriously, thickly fur-covered sleeves of coats. Rag & Bone showed it in their futuristic Scottish ski bum, Giles did it under a black corset, and Peter Som took it to the trench. It's certainly a bold look, but one that could be hard to pull off. What do you think of this trend? Would you wear it?
