Healthy happy you.
After a three-day weekend, possibly full of splurges, you want to get back on track, and let's start from the bottom up. How are your sneakers treating your feet?

If you tend to forget the purchase date of your shoes, and Read more
My friends at geeksugar just posted about StrideKick a groovy little device that tells you how many miles you have run in your shoes so you know when to get new running sneaks. You should get new shoes every 350-550 miles depending on your running style, body weight, and the surface on which you run. But alas, the StrideKick is still in the prototype phase and won't be on the streets for Read more
We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Prevention here on FitSugar! By Mandy Oaklander, Prevention Leave it to scientists to burst our bubble. For years, studies have told us that chewing gum can boost memory recall, and as such, we’d pop Chiclets during noggin-twisting times: exams, high school reunions, Jeopardy. Did it ever work for us?

The boards may have happened on last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, but this week we get to go inside each of the testing rooms to see what went down.

Cristina's the only one who Read more

Ladylike looks might be the big Spring trend, but when the thought of pulling on a pencil skirt seems unbearable, flip the switch and opt for a more masculine feel. These days, menswear-inspired pieces, like blazers and trousers, have become a closet staple and we're looking for new ways to emote the trend for the new season. Try out a pair of candy colored oxfords for a new twist, or take a risk Read more
Learn how to be a better contributor to your office brainstorming sessions with these tips from LearnVest. When was the last time you brainstormed? Was it over a group assignment in high school? Maybe over a particularly challenging DIY project? Or was it this week, at work? Brainstorming is a tried-and-true way many managers encourage their employees to generate ideas.

Some things stand the test of seasons and trends — the trench coat is one such piece. Every season, this classic resurfaces with updates, crafted in new fits, hues, and shapes. While the staple trench is a piece of fashion iconography, we admittedly look forward to the fresh iterations.
