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

read more 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.

Ben and Jen Spend a Packed Weekend With Seraphina and Violet

Katie Henry — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:27:39 PST

Pregnant Jennifer Garner kept her girls busy over the weekend, starting with a Saturday trip to the nail salon and a visit to a friend's birthday party yesterday. Jen's kept up a packed schedule in recent weeks and doesn't seem to be slowing down. She's been spotted all over town running errands with Seraphina and dropping Violet off at her various activities. When it came to picking up a gift for yesterday's bash, though, Jen left the shopping duties to Ben and Seraphina. Ben and Sera stopped by the Brentwood Country Mart prior to the celebration, and she even left with a heart shaped lollipop of her own. The Garner-Affleck family doesn't hide their affection, which is one of the reasons Jen and Ben are among our favorite celebrity couples on Valentine's Day.

Ben Affleck Brightens Up His Weekend With Violet, Seraphina, and Flowers

Lauren Turner — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:01:28 PST

Ben Affleck was all about his daughters during a farmers market outing in Pacific Palisades yesterday. He took Violet and Seraphina to check out the produce, and the trio picked up grapes, strawberries, flowers, and more. Ben showed love for Violet, who was toting a monogrammed handbag, with a kiss. Jennifer didn't join her family for the shopping excursion, but she was busy with the girls on Saturday. Jennifer, Violet, and Seraphina went to the beach in LA to take advantage of the sunny weather. Violet and Seraphina played in the sand while their pregnant mom watched nearby. Jennifer's maternity style has been on display as she steps out for errands, and there's even more pregnancy fashion to come since she's not due until this Spring.

Some of our favorite complementary pairings are: minty green with bright tangerine, deep violet with saffron yellow, and neon pink with crimson red.
Use these color combos to emphasize your shape and your strong knowledge of silhouette proportions. We love seeing contrasted hues against a long-short hem or in the mix of soft vs. hard structural edges.
To execute this look, it takes almost no effort at all. Find your favorite colorful pieces and pair 'em up. The effect is striking, but super simple to achieve. Whether it's a colorblocked sweater-and-jeans combo or a sweet juxtaposition of a bold dress over opaque tights, it's a zippy way to spice up a look.

Lindsay Miller — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:31:10 PST

Ben Affleck was out and about in his LA-area neighborhood yesterday sporting heavier-than-usual facial hair. Ben was solo, but over the weekend, he focused his attention on his two daughters. On Sunday, Ben, Seraphina, and Violet hit a farmers market near their house to pick up some produce. Ben was also seen leaving with a bunch of flowers in hand, perhaps as a gift for Jennifer Garner, who didn't join them on the outing. Jennifer and Ben are expecting their third child this Spring, and during a recent visit to The Tonight Show, she joked that their girls are getting in on the naming process by suggesting the names of their favorite Disney characters for the little one. Jennifer didn't publicly reveal the gender of the baby during her late-show stop, but she did admit that she and Ben know whether they'll be having a boy or girl.

Jennifer Garner hit the beach in LA with her daughters Violet and Seraphina yesterday. The little ones played in the sand while Jennifer caught up with a girlfriend. Jennifer's been on the go all week, taking care of her kids and readying her home for the arrival of her and Ben Affleck's third child. She also took to blogging in order to draw attention to her and Julianne Moore's Save the Children Valentine's Day card campaign.

Jennifer Garner Kicks Off the Week at Breakfast With Seraphina

Lauren Turner — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:30:01 PST

Jennifer Garner held onto Seraphina's hand as they headed out to grab breakfast in LA this morning. The duo got back to their weekly routine following a fun weekend. On Friday. Jennifer took Violet and Seraphina to the beach, where she watched the girls play in the sand. Sunday was all about time with dad Ben Affleck, who was spotted at a farmers market with Violet and Seraphina. He and the girls picked up produce and a bunch of flowers before heading home to presumably watch the Super Bowl. Ben's a big Patriots fan, though his team lost to the NY Giants in the exciting matchup. There were plenty of fans disappointed by the outcome, including Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, who expressed her frustration with a few expletives after the game.
