Bud Light Ad: "If Men Wrote Wedding Dress Commercials"

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:30:00 PDT

Is drinking beer and making women do all the work really the dream of all men? According to this Bud Light commercial, the answer is yes. (If anything, this seems like an ad calling for more women as creatives in the advertising industry!)

Jenna Bush's Wedding Cake: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 03:00:05 PDT

The President's daughter, Jenna Bush, was recently married in a lavish but down-to-earth wedding at her family's ranch in Texas. Few details have been released about the ceremony, reception, and menu but rumor has it the cake was created by the Ultimate Cheesecake Bakery. The tres leches/dulce de leche cake had whipped cream frosting and fresh floral arrangements. By the time this photo was taken, the top tier of the confection had started to fall. While it's sad the top was tilting, it's probably something the happy couple will laugh about for years to come. I'm a huge fan of dulce de leche and can only imagine how delicious the cake must have tasted. Thoughts?

Wedding Day Workout

FitSugar — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:15:00 PDT

Most grooms participate in some sport or athletic activity (golf, soccer, football, etc) on the morning of their wedding day. This is how they ease the tension and I must say the grooms have it right - the name of the game here is stress relief, not last minute weight loss. Come the day of, or even weekend of, your wedding, hopefully you've already done your best from an exercise perspective and one last workout will not do much in terms of dropping pounds. However, what it may do is calm you down, especially if you're feeling any last minute stress or jitters.

The problem is that most brides do not have enough time to feed themselves the day of their wedding, let alone time to fit in a workout or group activity. However, if you have been working out on a regular basis for a year (or even six months) up until your big day, you've probably noticed that working out is a great stress reliever and mood booster -- Two things you might need at this point. So, think about trying and finding a way to fit it in with these three tips:

Stick to your routine: If your body is used to going on a two mile run every Saturday morning, then try to fit it in. Maybe you switch the run to a Friday morning, instead of Saturday, but I am sure you'll feel great when it's done and you'll be ready to hit the ground running (literally and figuratively). Invite your out-of-towner pals, or even get your husband-to-be (only on jogs the day before, that is), to join you. This is a great time to actually have a conversation with them/him before (or during) all the commotion that is your wedding weekend.

Yoga: Get all your maids together for a pre hair and make-up yoga session. Not only will you (and all your girls) feel great from getting a little workout in, you'll also feel more relaxed and ready for your close-ups.

Stretching: If you can find the time to fit in anything, at the very least, do a little stretching when you wake up the morning of your big day. Pay more attention to your lower body as most brides are on their feet (in high heels, might I add) the entire day of their wedding.

Fab Gift Guide: Wedding Gifts for The Proud Parents

BellaSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:54:22 PDT

Welcome again to FabSugar's Gift Guide! This one is all about Mom and Dad. Perhaps they are throwing you some Benjamins to help relieve some of the financial burden or, better yet, maybe they are footing the bill for your entire dream wedding extravaganza! Whatever the case, this is one of the most sentimental times of your life and you'll want to do something special for your folks and maybe even his too. Here are a few fab wedding gifts in different price ranges to show your parents and in-laws how much you appreciate all they've done for you.

Under $50

This Kate Spade Library Stripe Silver plated Frame, $40, is a great way to show your parents how much you care. Add in a picture of your choice and frame it for them to display. A memorable picture idea is a professional engagement photo of you and your fiance or a picture of your whole family together. They will love it!

All parents really want to see is that you put some thought into it. This will be a huge hit! The frame is silver plated, has a classic looking shape with etched vertical stripes down the left side. Available in 3x3, 4x6 and 8x10 sizes.

For two more wedding gift ideas for the proud parents,

$50 - $100

If you have parents that are still married, how fabulous would it be of you to retouch or refurbish one of their original wedding photos! All you have to do is call or email Beth Schiffer for a cost estimate and turnaround time. She might also be able to direct you to someone else in your area if you don't want to mail the precious picture to NYC.

Over $100

Ok, so this might seem a little extreme, but if your parents are anything like mine, all they want is some time with you. Getting married means that your family priorities have shifted a bit, so a great way to let them know that you will always have time for them is to plan and treat them to a trip, special dinner or event that you can all enjoy together.

I wrote about a great Dude Ranch vacation once. It was at the HF Bar Ranch, in Saddlestring, WY, and what a time we had! It was a fabulous bonding experience for my man and my folks - and my parents were beyond thrilled to spend five whole days horsing around with us!

Take a Break from Wedding Planning: Workout!

FitSugar — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:30:00 PDT

If you're engaged and well into wedding planning then you're probably (or you're about to be) bombarded with a million things wedding related. Flowers, dress, food, venue, etc. One piece of advice: Take a workout break.

I know it sounds odd, but a good workout may be your only chance to get a moment for yourself to stop thinking about how much you have to do for the wedding. Turn your phone off, bring a good book or magazine that is NOT wedding related (such things do exist, I swear) and take that aggression out on a treadmill and pair of free weights. Feeling really overwhelmed? Maybe your fiancé is driving you up the wall with his lack of cooperation? Hit the punching bag for a few minutes. Taking a workout break will not only help tone you up before the big day, but it will give you some "you, the bride" time and you'll feel energized and ready to go for everything else that comes your way.

Insanity's Shaun T's Last-Minute Diet and Exercise Tips

Leta Shy — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:34:46 PDT

Shaun T, the personal trainer who's motivated millions with his at-home workouts, knows how to get people in shape in a short amount of time. After all, his Insanity workout program promises incredible results in just 60 days of sweating and jumping in front of your TV.

With Summer a mere few weeks away, we spoke with Shaun about how to get in shape for anything - whether it's a beach holiday, wedding, or event - when you've only got a little time. Find out his recommendations below!

Watch your drink calories: "Don't drink your calories. That's the number one rule of thumb: not to drink your calories. It will eliminate so many calories in your body. Everybody knows that sugar that's not burnt off eventually turns into fat," says Shaun, who's also holding live workouts nationwide to promote his partnership with Powerade Zero. Shaun recommends portion control and cutting the amount of sugars and carbs in your diet in half, but "still ensure you have enough energy during the day," he says.

Kick it up a notch: "If you're a person who works out at the gym, try to take [fewer] breaks," Shaun recommends. "If you're a weight lifter, while you're not doing weights, try to do some different cardio exercise in between to try to ramp up the calorie burn."
