Darth Vader and Yoga: A Connection Through Breath
Yoga is all about connecting your breath with your movements.
It's called ujjayi pranayama (pronounced oo-jai pra-na-ya-ma). Some instructors call it "ocean breath," "victorious breath," or "Darth Vader breath."

Cool Idea: Floating Flower Balls
This photo, which was taken at a destination wedding planned by Alison Events, took my breath away when I spotted it. The wedding, a black-tie beach wedding in Mexico, featured a giant floral arch that overlooked the ocean, tequila shot toasts, fireworks, and these stunning floating flower balls. I'm in love with the idea of covering the surface of a pool with these oversize floral decorations.

Yoga Explained: Bandhas
If you go to a yoga class, the instructor might mention your bandhas, so I thought you might want to know what and where they are.
Bandha is a Sanskrit word meaning "lock," "seal," or "bind." There are 3 bandhas, and they are basically muscular contractions that help you to breathe, focus on your awareness, keep your body strong, and give you a sense of lightness as you move through postures.
Yoga Breath: Kapalabhati
In yoga, breath is just as important as the postures. Linking your breath with your movement creates complete awareness. These breathing exercises are called Pranayama, which means breath control.

This Just In: Saddam's Mega-Yacht For Sale
Well before he took his last breath, Saddam Hussein had several mega-yachts commissioned in full-dictator tackiness, including one 269-footer named Qaddisat Saddam (named after guess who?), which recently resurfaced for sale in the South of France under the name Ocean Breeze for a whopping $34 million. Radar has the full story on the vessel, which is nearly dipped in gold, and of course outfitted with "bulletproof glass, closed-circuit television, storage space for a large cache of weapons, including heavy machine guns and surface-to-air missiles, and a secret passage that runs the length of the boat for easy access to a fast-patrol boat and a minisubmarine pod for emergency exits." What a creepy holiday gift this would be.
Damon, Clooney, and Isabella - Oh My!
It is no secret that I have a thing for Matt Damon. The nicest guy in Hollywood is even more attractive when his daughter Isabella has her arms wrapped around his neck. As if that wasn't enough to take your breath away, add Clooney to the mix and well, just remember to take deep breaths people.
