If you have a hard time stepping onto the scale, imagine stepping into the Bod Pod...

Running outside is feeling pretty chilly these days, especially on my hands. I just picked up a pair of thin, lightweight running gloves that are perfect for keeping my fingers warm — the Women's PL 110 Gloves ($24) by Outdoor Research.

Kate Moss, Scarlett Johansson and Christian Louboutin have all contributed a charm for this year's limited edition necklace in aid of Cancer Research UK. Each charm reflects the personal experience and character of its creator. Kate's (far right) is a pretty turquoise and silver swallow; Scarlett's (second from left) a white, yellow and orange lily; Christian's (center) is what else but a small golden shoe with his signature red sole.
Playing Nice? Republicans Are Kinder People Says Research
Uh-oh cowboys and girls — check that voter registration card. A big "R" on your status might just stand for "Really nice," and the "D"? Maybe "Down right mean"?
