Fitness Aside
Game Review: Your Shape For Wii
There's a new fitness game in town and it's ready to work you out and make you sweat. Your Shape ($69), a new Wii game by Ubisoft, makes Jenny McCarthy your workout coach and training buddy so you don't have to sweat it out alone.
The game comes with a camera that you perch on your TV; it captures your image and plays it on your TV so you move with a reflection of yourself, like looking in a mirror.
Class Act: Cardio Tai Boxing
I'm big on fitness classes, but tend to stick with Pilates, yoga, or something slower-paced — usually afraid that I won't be able to keep up with a class that requires any dance technique. My exercise solution came in the form of Crunch's Cardio Tai Box class — a class that gets you moving without a required-knowledge of dance choreography. All you need to know?
Ask Casa: What to Do About Burgundy
Su Casa member Pretty Little Things got this overstuffed burgundy chenille burgundy chair at a garage sale for only $50. She wants to integrate it into her awesome new apartment, but her "theoretical color scheme involves grays, golds, whites, neutrals, dark wood, no burgundy!" And aside from the color, she also finds the chair bulky.
Reasons to Try Mountain Biking
Road biking was my first taste of exercising on wheels. I loved the smooth terrain, how fast I could speed along, and how much distance I could cover, which made for great sightseeing. I never gave much thought to trying mountain biking, until my hubby persuaded me to go with him.
What's the Deal With Wearable Weights?
The magic pill to weight loss is a mirage in my opinion, but companies continue to design products to help you burn more calories and drop pounds. As if the seven shady weight loss products I recently posted about weren't enough, I just discovered Body Togs Wearable Weights.
At first I thought they were for strength training exercises instead of dumbbells or resistance bands.
Empanadas Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
With so many Summer activities going on, I've been looking for more delectables to fit my on-the-go lifestyle. My new favorite snack is empanadas. The savory delicacies are not only perfect for portable snacking, but they're an easy way to use up leftover ingredients, and double as an appetizer for impromptu gatherings.
Trend Alert: Layered Tanks
How easy breezy are power couple Reese and Jake in Venice Beach? I know they are rich and famous, but don't they just seem so down to earth? Reese's Summer-perfect 'fit is fresh chic — and break me off a piece of that Bottega.
Come Party With Me: My Birthday Party — Invite
Well folks, it's time for me to plan my favorite event of the year — my birthday party! Since I threw a blow-out bash at a bar for 27 and a big picnic at an oyster farm for 27.5, I've decided that, for 28, things should be more subdued. Thus, I'm hosting an intimate dinner party for me and my 20 closest friends.
Guess the Celeb's Abs
Compared to the common Jane, celebs have the upper hand when it comes to fitness. Not only do they have the time and intense incentives to work out, but they also have the dough to hire personal trainers and personal chefs. But you have to agree that they look amazingly fit and healthy.
Trend Alert: Buckle Up
Calling all avant-gardians: strap in and buckle up. Multi-buckle shoes are fit for the daring so wallflowers step aside. I can't deny my lust for these Balmain Uma Buckle Boots ($1,275).
