Trend Alert: Friendship Bracelets

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 07:50:22 PDT

You know you made them at camp. Lots of them. And though I prefer picking them up in foreign lands as mementos, I can't help but collect more and more friendship bracelets. When I zeroed in on Amanda Seyfried's futurama Doo.Ri dress and black sparkly Pierre Hardy shoes, I was pleasantly surprised to see a couple stringy, colorful bracelets on her wrist - here's a closer peek. I love sparkle and statement on the red carpet, but the unexpected youthful twist is totally fun. Take your pick: old-school string, rhinestones, charms, ribbons, classic chains, and beads. Or, go back to camp, and DIY!

Celebrity Style: Selma Blair

Selma always seems to have a trick up her sleeve when it comes to fashion - she's one of the few people I've seen attempt the sheer trend and pull it off. Her Marc Jacobs grey cashmere shell and skirt look not only luxurious but comfortable. Insert Coco Chanel quote here: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." Add some simple, beautiful jewelry and a pop of color, and you've got yourself a modern classic.

The bracelet is available in a range of colors and sold exclusively at Links of London boutiques or online.

You don’t have to go on a deprivation diet or spend hours exercising to ward off disease and be your healthiest self! Instead, try these supersimple tips
By the editors of Prevention

Staying healthy can feel like so much, well, work (think: logging hours at the gym and whipping up nutritious meals from scratch). However, there are plenty of small moves that you can make in your everyday life that will have big health benefits. We’ve rounded up 15 practically zero-effort ways to fight disease, whittle your waist, lower stress, and more. Bonus: many of these good-for-you moves feel good, too. So say sayonara to the old adage “no pain, no gain” and try these tips today.

Lazy Move No. 1: Protect Your Ticker by Snoozing
Need a good excuse to grab your comfiest set of pajamas and hit the sack? Skimping on shut-eye may do more than make you cranky or unproductive - it also boosts your risk of a heart attack. According to one Norwegian study, people who reported that they did not wake up feeling refreshed in the morning had a 27 percent higher risk of a heart attack, those who had trouble staying asleep almost every night in the last month had a 30 percent higher risk, and those who had trouble falling asleep almost every night in the last month had odds that jumped to 45 percent.

Twenty Ways to Sleep Better Every Night

Some researchers speculate that insomnia might trigger your body to release more of the stress hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol have been linked with high blood pressure and diabetes, which are both risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Plus when you’re exhausted, you may be more likely to make unhealthy choices that up your heart disease risk, such as skipping your workout or reaching for fatty or sugary snacks for a quick energy fix.

Keep reading for three more lazy ways to improve your health.

5 Reasons You Need More Sleep

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar.

Whether you admit you need help nodding off or are still in denial about the major suitcases under your eyes, chances are you could use an intervention: a full two-thirds of Americans say they have trouble getting enough shut-eye at least once a week. That’s pretty harrowing, considering that sleep is absolutely essential for health and normal functioning. If you need a reason to hit the sack early read on. You’ll be surprised how much skipped sleep impacts your well-being.

You'll Live Longer
Chronic insomniacs are more likely to suffer a heart attack than those who sleep well, according to new research in the journal Circulation. Other studies have linked lack of sleep to a higher risk of dying from a stroke and developing breast cancer.

See Robert Pattinson's Christmas Eve Pub Night With Pals

Allie Merriam — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:45:35 PST

Robert Pattinson was able to spend his holiday break at home in London with friends and family. On Saturday, he linked up with some old pals for an evening at a pub! He was seen chatting with friends, including one brunette girl, while drinking a couple beers at the Sun Inn. He stayed out until past midnight, but apparently still spent Christmas Sunday morning with his parents Clare and Richard. Robert left his childhood home this morning, though, already looking toward his next fun night coming up on New Year's Eve.
