DinoBite Bottle Opener: Love It Or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:11:19 PDT

I'm not really into reptiles. I never understood why my best girlfriend in college had a huge lizard as a pet. However, when I saw this dinobite bottle opener, any disgust I formerly held for the creepy crawly creatures completely disintegrated. I love this open mouthed dinosaur shaped bottle opener. The solid bronze beast would look great resting on a sleek bar. Am I the only one who thinks it's quite cute, or do you love it too?

Beauty Marked! Versatile Violet Eye Shadows

BellaSugar — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:02:01 PDT

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It was such fun to see all of the violet, purple and lavender eye shadows you found. I know that the colors can often seem garish in their pots, but if you apply with the right makeup brush, they'll look beautiful on the eyes. Whether you choose a burst of bright color or a subtle smoky eye, violet is a great color for easing into fall.

Let's move on to your picks, shall we? There were tons of great ones, but I liked
Flutterpie's suggestion, an Anna Sui shadow that can double as an eyeliner. And Sandinmytoes likes Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Kit-a great choice for brown-eyed girls. To view everyone's favorites, just browse through this widget. If you see one you like, click to find out more!

Get the Bod: Jennifer Garner

FitSugar — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 07:34:17 PST

I think Jennifer Garner tops my list of celebs I admire. She just seems to be really, really into being a mother and not so much into being a celeb. Regardless, we're all curious what she does to stay looking so darn cute.

People got the scoop recently on her skin, her shape and her comfort foods... to read all about it and see her hanging with Violet (who is so adorable by the way), then

People: Your skin is always so beautiful. Do you use anything special?
Garner: Thanks! I always have really good hair and makeup done before an appearance, so don't think that my skin is perfect. But I try to take care of it by getting enough sleep and not drinking too much coffee or alcohol. And I have a great facialist. If you're ever in L.A. and want to treat yourself, her name is Nerida Joy and she's magic.

People: How have you managed to keep in shape after the show (Alias) and after giving birth to your first child?
Garner: I wasn't that into getting back into shape; I was so all about being with my baby. (Then) I started missing the energy you get from being in shape. I resented my friends who said it melted off. It did not melt off! I had to get on the treadmill and do weights and Pilates – and stop eating yummy things. It was a pain. It was not a magic formula.

People: What is the absolute necessity for you when it comes to comfort food?
Garner: I have a lot of comfort-food necessities. Chocolate is probably No. 1. Not a day goes by that I don't have a little bite, but I try to make it something really rich so I'm not tempted to keep going. I had a bite of a chocolate muffin this morning and will have another bite after lunch. Then I like cheese, crackers and wine with my girlfriends. Cheese is something I've never had luck giving up when trying to diet.

Jennifer Garner Sticks Close to Seraphina as Violet Finishes Up Her First School Year

Katie Henry — Fri, 25 May 2012 09:38:17 PDT

Jennifer Garner gave 3-year-old Seraphina Affleck a piggyback ride into the Brentwood Mart yesterday. The girls picked up a gift and coffee to go and then headed on their way. Later in the day, Jen spent one-on-one time with her eldest daughter, Violet, after school. Jen's been on a break from acting since giving birth to Samuel earlier this year, though she's making her debut on the Internet in a new short film. Jen stars with Alfred Molina in the Youtube feature Serena. Their 12-minute film documents a complicated relationship between a serial liar, played by Garner, and her priest, Molina.

Ben Affleck and Jen have a few more months to enjoy time at home with the family, including baby Samuel, before they return to work this Fall. He's starring in and directing the CIA thriller Argo, due out in October, and Jen shares the big screen with Joel Edgerton in Disney's The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which is set for release in August.

Jennifer Garner packed up the car and headed out to Pasadena on Saturday with Violet and Seraphina Affleck to visit with friends. Yesterday, Jen and the girls stopped off at the Pacific Palisades farmers market before meeting up with Ben later in the day to watch a school play. Even though weekends are filled with activities with the kids, the busy parents of three recently snuck away from their nightly duties for a romantic low-key date night. Jen and Ben sipped cocktails at Hollywood's Whiskey Blue and were spotted looking very affectionate. The two have been all smiles since the birth of their first son, Samuel, in February, and Ben even paid a special tribute to Jen on Mother's Day, calling Jen a "world-class" mom.

Later in the afternoon, Ben swung by Hank Azaria's Playing for Good poker tournament. Yesterday was all about Jennifer for the Garner-Affleck family.

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck visited a friend's house in Pasadena yesterday. They picked up their pals and headed to the Huntington Botanical Gardens, where they checked out the grounds from the back of a golf cart. Jennifer's youngest daughter, Seraphina, wasn't along for the trip but Violet represented her sibling by wearing a shirt that said "Seraphina's Big Sister" in rhinestones. Jennifer and Violet have been a busy duo all week, first picking up books at an LA library and later attending a block party in the company of dad, Ben. Ben was sporting a black eye on the occasion, though the cause of his injury is unknown. He's been prepping for work on Argo, but for now he seems to be enjoying his downtime with his girls.
