Healthy happy you.
In the recent issue of Health, actress Anna Paquin discusses Hollywood's distorted perception of what's considered healthy. She says: "I think there’s also a really big difference between looking healthy and being healthy. People in this town have a weird tendency to say, if someone’s lost weight, "Oh my God, you look amazing." And you’re like, "I just had my tonsils out and didn’t eat Read more
If you're stick-thin, expect a better pay than your average-sized colleagues. We already know that women are behind men in terms of salary and career advancement, but apparently normal-sized women earn way less than skinny model types, reports a WSJ blog.

Remember when Rihanna wore this floating double ring while in Berlin? I do, and I haven't been able to take my mind off it since. We found out it's from Skinny and retails at a mere $38 — sweet!

Welcome the “Skinny," a nonfat Latte made with sugar-free syrup. Starbucks is also adding a new sugar-free syrup flavor — Mocha — to the current selection of Read more
Women are made to feel awful about their healthy size. Who could blame them with all the super thin models and celebrities glorifying their bony frames? When we go shopping, the latest fashions of tight leggings and skinny jeans are no help. Of course, smooth-skinned size zero plastic mannequins, reminding us that we could never look like that, are modeling them. Of course, in our hearts, we Read more
Liv Tyler recently talked about dieting and motherhood. She said, "I've been on a diet my whole life." Being in the public eye, she spent years worrying about her weight, that is, until she became a mom. Many women can relate, comparing themselves to skinny models, and forever being on a diet and working out to shed pounds. The thing is, models are getting skinnier, so women think they need Read more
In light of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week from February 25 - March 3, and because another model, Eliana Ramos, has passed away from anorexia, I am overwhelmed with so many feelings. I'm angry with the media for making girls think that thin equals beauty. I'm also sad for people battling eating disorders, and for the families who've lost loved ones. It's not just models and actresses Read more
If you're still not sure what to wear to your Memorial Day barbecue (hey, it happens), just cull some style inspiration from Olivia Palermo.
