13 Health Gimmicks You Can Stop Wasting Money On

Business Insider — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:15:21 PDT

Consumers have a tendency of falling for the next big health gimmick. Save your money on health duds with these Business Insider tips.

No matter how many times we're told otherwise, Americans' obsession with get-healthy-quick schemes will likely never die. Too bad most of these fads aren't worth their weight in salt - or your hard-earned dollars. We've put together a list of some of the worst budget-sucking health trends that still persist today.

Coconut Water

Coconut water may be nature's version of Gatorade but some brands have already caught fire for over-hyping its nutrient content. Vita Coco agreed to settle a $10 million class action lawsuit over an independent study that showed the drinks didn't pack near as many electrolytes as advertisements implied. Some coconut waters are also loaded with added sugar, which will do nothing to help your waistline.

Alternative: Pick up your own young green coconuts on the cheap from an Asian produce market. Just crack them open with a cleaver and pop in a straw.

"All-Natural" Foods

30 percent of Americans bought more natural foods in 2011, according to a Rodale study. But what are we really paying more for? There's no clear cut regulation on what makes food "natural," which means just about any company can slap that label on its packages, add a fancy green theme and jack up the price.

Says Andrew Schrage of MoneyCrashers: "Before buying any food that is touted as being 'all natural,' take a look at the ingredient list before you check out. Keep in mind that butter and salt are indeed natural ingredients. So stocking up on natural foods may not achieve anything other than increasing your grocery bill."

Miley Cyrus Shows Skin on Her Way Out of Pilates

Lauren Turner — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:49:09 PDT

Miley Cyrus left a Winsor Pilates class in LA yesterday. She showed off her fit frame in black tights and a see-through white top. Her figure has been the subject of attention lately, with fans questioning her eating habits. Miley defended her weight by tweeting, "For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight - it's about health."

Miley's been sticking to her workout routine and also making time for her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth. Miley and Liam held hands during a stroll with their dogs earlier this month and were also recently spotted riding around town in a classic car. The couple sparked rumors of an engagement when Miley wore a giant gem on her ring finger during a public appearance, though Miley quickly refuted the news on Twitter. Liam's brother, Chris, also addressed their relationship status on the red carpet at The Avengers premiere last night, saying, "I can't see that happening."

Trendspotting: Nighttime Neutrals

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:05:02 PST

When you think of cocktail attire, the first idea that often pops into your head is something dark, tight, and sparkly, right? Well this season, celebs are shaking things up with something a little lighter and brighter; think fresh Winter whites, sleek metallic nudes, and pops of camel. The neutral evening wear look is easy to achieve - just see how some of our fashionable favorites pull it off. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley kept things supersexy on the red carpet in a slinky, nude, knee-length Burberry dress, Amber Heard stepped out in a sequined Alessandra Rich column gown, and Leighton Meester went short and strapless in an off-white Balmain dress with gold accents. All three ladies prove that going neutral at night can make for a sexy, slightly unexpected look. See for yourself when you shop our picks below!

Halloween Costume Idea: Katy Perry

Miriam Lacey — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:26:38 PDT

The costume: Katy Perry
Katy herself loves costumes, so she could hardly object to you dressing up in homage. Plus, it's a great excuse to have pink hair and wear hot shorts.

Hair and makeup: Katy's current mauve shade is easy to get either with temporary hair dye or an inexpensive wig, and you should complement it with equally bright pink lipstick, sparkly eye shadow, and some major false lashes.

What to wear: Something short, tight, and bright, preferably with sequins and sky-high heels. A sequin dress or a crop top with Daisy Dukes are both surefire wins.

Take it to the next level: Katy always has the wildest nails out there, so go crazy with the nail art or add some long, colorful press-on nails.

Spring 2012 Fashion Week Look We're Loving: Sparkly Bottoms

Noria Morales — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:56:13 PDT

Easy breezy looks and fun evening shine? We're all for this runway trend of mixing metallic bottoms - a sequined miniskirt at DKNY, gold lasercut leather shorts at Cynthia Rowley, slouchy beaded pants at Rebecca Taylor - with casual tops. Of course, there's no need to wait until next Spring to try it out. This look works for Fall, too. Here's our tip for making it work, and sparkly pieces you can shop now!

Pair them with cozy knit sweaters, and make it slouchy; try a cozy v-neck boyfriend sweater for ultimate comfort and chicness.

Try a structured blazer, with a t-shirt underneath, to make it a dressier look.

If you want to try the look with a sparkly dress, add knit tights and a big scarf.

Now shop the look - we found some amazing sparkly options to score right now!

The Ladies Show Skin and Get Glam at the 2011 Grammys

Lauren Turner — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 21:32:41 PST

The Grammy Awards were all about glamour and glitz in LA tonight. Kim Kardashian led the pack of ladies who wore gold in a revealing Kaufman Franco gown, while Heidi Klum followed suit in a cut-out Julien Macdonald dress. Presenter Jennifer Lopez went short in a metallic Emilio Pucci mini and was joined by her husband Marc Anthony on the red carpet. A winged Armani-clad Katy Perry had her man Russell Brand, who was fresh off a stint hosting SNL, and her 90-year-old grandmother by her side on her way into the show, as Selena Gomez showed up solo in J. Mendel. Miley Cyrus rounded up the shining stars in a "tiger pelt" Roberto Cavalli that also showed her new dream catcher tattoo.

The night wasn't just about the sparkle though, as lots of guests chose basic black and navy for the event. Lea Michele was on trend in a thigh-baring Emilio Pucci dress, while her Glee costars Dianna Agron, in Vivienne Westwood, and Jenna Ushkowitz in Pamela Dennis, both chose the dark hue. Jennifer Hudson rocked a Versace number before changing into a tight pantsuit to perform, while Selma Blair covered up her baby bump in Lanvin.

Eva Longoria got glam in black and white Ashi Studio while Rihanna wowed in a daring, see-through Gaultier. Kelly Osbourne, who also attended Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammys bash, went with lavender Tadashi Shoji, and Julianne Hough looked fresh-faced in a printed Malandrino despite feeling the effects of jet-lag from her recent trip overseas. Nicole Kidman, also in Jean Paul Gaultier, was there to support her husband Keith Urban after celebrating her own weekend box office success for Just Go With It.

Look of the Day: Vintage Glam

Noria Morales — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:00:41 PDT

We love the print of this Anna Sui dress mixed with all the feminine details - bow-topped Valentino shoes, a pretty gold belt, and sparkly clutch. The result, from loyal Fab reader FashionSheSays, showcases a look that we think would look gorgeous in the Fall, when one of the main themes of the season is bohemian glamour. It's gorgeous now, and how cute would it be on a cool, crisp day with knit tights and ankle booties?

Congrats to FashionSheSays!
