Fab Finding Follow Up: Moving Day!

FabSugar — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:00:22 PST

I just recently moved apartments and discovered quite the fashion dilemma: It's really hard to move furniture and look cute at the same time! I brought the challenge to the table for you girls, because I knew you could handle it, and asked you to help me find an outfit that is functional for moving, but also looks Fab!

I started you off with these Converse All-Star yellow lo-tops ($40), because they're comfy and such a happy color.

Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by mletrav is super cute; it's perfect for directing the movers (wink!).

Insanity's Shaun T's Last-Minute Diet and Exercise Tips

Leta Shy — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:34:46 PDT

Shaun T, the personal trainer who's motivated millions with his at-home workouts, knows how to get people in shape in a short amount of time. After all, his Insanity workout program promises incredible results in just 60 days of sweating and jumping in front of your TV.

With Summer a mere few weeks away, we spoke with Shaun about how to get in shape for anything - whether it's a beach holiday, wedding, or event - when you've only got a little time. Find out his recommendations below!

Watch your drink calories: "Don't drink your calories. That's the number one rule of thumb: not to drink your calories. It will eliminate so many calories in your body. Everybody knows that sugar that's not burnt off eventually turns into fat," says Shaun, who's also holding live workouts nationwide to promote his partnership with Powerade Zero. Shaun recommends portion control and cutting the amount of sugars and carbs in your diet in half, but "still ensure you have enough energy during the day," he says.

Kick it up a notch: "If you're a person who works out at the gym, try to take [fewer] breaks," Shaun recommends. "If you're a weight lifter, while you're not doing weights, try to do some different cardio exercise in between to try to ramp up the calorie burn."

Britney Spears Rolls Into Austin For Her First Day of X Factor Auditions

Katie Henry — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:12:46 PDT

Austin rolled out a Texas-sized welcome for X Factor judges Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, and L.A. Reid today. The foursome were all smiles upon their arrival and looked ready to get down to business on their first day of taping. The group of judges is back together after meeting up last week for the official unveiling of the new X Factor judging panel.

When the cameras weren't rolling, Britney had fiancé Jason Trawick by her side, but in the studio she took her seat between Simon and Demi. It looks like Brit and Simon are getting off on a playful foot since she tweeted "Simon better watch out" and joked that they were "still waiting on Simon Cowell of course" when she arrived at the event. Taping continues in Texas tomorrow before production moves on to Kansas City, San Francisco, and Providence next month.

4 Time-Saving Tips For a Healthy Lifestyle

Leta Shy — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:18:40 PDT

Summers can be incredibly busy - between shuttling kids to and from activities to planning and going on vacation, all the activities that come along with the season can leave you pressed for time. Luckily, we've got a few suggestions for how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, even if you've only got minutes to spare.

Total-body in 20: Breaking up your workout in just 10- or 20-minute increments ensures that you'll break a sweat and burn calories without having to devote too much time out of your day. Even more efficient is making sure that your workouts target all areas of your body. For short workouts that you can do anywhere, check out our fast full-body workouts.

Home cooking: It's easier to cook healthily if you've already done the legwork. Shop for produce and other groceries at the beginning of the week so you can plan every night's dinners - check out one of our healthy dinner plans for the week here. You can also store individual servings of smoothies or sauces (using an ice-cube tray!) in your freezer to have at hand while whipping up a meal.

Tara Block — Thu, 24 May 2012 09:45:27 PDT

Craig Ferguson was in a flirty mood last night when Jennifer Love Hewitt stopped by to talk about her show The Client List. He admitted that he couldn't keep his eyes off her cleavage, and then moved on to talk about the steamy subject matter of her show. Jennifer didn't seem to mind the advances, but when Craig asked her if she ever gets embarrassed playing a prostitute, she admitted that there are days when she "feels like a real hooker." "Some days I'll have six massages in a day," she revealed. Watch Jennifer talk about her demanding new acting gig now.

Mint-Tinted Shadows Are Having a Moment

Jaime Richards — Thu, 24 May 2012 05:02:00 PDT

St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, but certain stars have been keeping the lucky streak alive with green-tinged shadow. Santigold and Nelly Furtado both opted for minty shades, the latter placing the pastel hue in her inner Vs, the former using the cool tone on her lids and creases. Kat Graham, however, went for a bolder, more vibrant take on the look, with a deep mint color on the lower areas of the eyes, and a smoky emerald on the upper portions. All three kept their cheeks and lips quite neutral, however; a sage (heh) move when going with such an intense eye makeup palette.
