Crazy things you never knew about Martha Stewart

Everyone knows the prim and proper Martha Stewart from her television shows featuring DIY crafts and oh-so-delicious recipes, but what else do you know about her? Of course we're all aware that she's a super successful businesswoman, a lifestyle maven, a cookbook author, a mom and grandma, a curator of all "good things," and — though this probably isn't how she'd like to be remembered— a former inmate.

Eyeliner mistakes you're probably making

Eyeliner is basically the Holy Grail of beauty products. You don't have to be a master of makeup to use it, and all it takes is a little dab on each eye to feel put-together and ready to conquer the day. While eyeliner seems self-explanatory, there's actually a science to its application. Whether you're a liquid liner aficionado or prefer the tried-and-true pencil, here are 10 of the most common eyeliner mistakes (and how to avoid them).

Beauty 'mistakes' that aren't actually mistakes at all

Makeup mistakes happen every day, even to the most seasoned beauty veterans. Smudges, smears, or smashed products are cold, hard facts of the cosmetics life. But you don't actually need to grab your micellar water or a makeup remover wipe to take it all off and start over every time you experience a product application fail.

This is how much the royal wedding will cost

Royal weddings don't come cheap. Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day, for example, carried a hefty price tag of $34 million, US Weekly reported. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's estimated wedding expenses have not been confirmed by Kensington Palace — that would be quite garish.

The real reason these stars never got married

Marriage isn't for everyone. After all, if Brangelina couldn't make it work, who could? Still, that doesn't mean that avoiding putting a ring on it means a lack of commitment or that these stars will die alone and miserable. In fact, for a lot of celebs, the opposite is true. Celebs are just normal people, (sort of) like the rest of us, and that means not all of them want the same things. These single stars and couples haven't gone down the aisle, and that's just fine with them.

6 Things You Should Never Change About Yourself For A Partner



There’s one thing we should all aim for when looking for love: Finding a partner who accepts and loves us just as we are.
Settling for anything less than that will set you up for heartbreak. Below, marriage therapists and other experts share six things you should never feel compelled to change for your partner.

10 Most Expensive Celebrity Body Parts Ever Insured



Body Parts Celebrities Have InsuredWe’ve seen the headline a thousand times before. Each time, a different name, a different body part. “Taylor Swift insured her legs for how much?!”, we shrieked in disbelief at the news last month. ($40 million if you’re curious.) But celebrities are business folk, and it’s just common sense for business folk to insure their assets should the worst ever come to the worst.

5 Common Mistakes People Make In The Shower


Showers are part of daily life. You've been bathing in some form or fashion since the day you were born, and somehow, you probably still have a lot to learn. We've discovered some simple steps you can add to your routine that can make a big impact on your skin and hair.

Don't: Shampoo Every Day

When it comes to washing and conditioning your hair, one size doesn't fit all. Your scalp is the "living" part of this process and needs to be hydrated and cleansed of excess oils. Your "dead" hair strands, however, can become dried out if you shampoo too often.

Kim Kardashian Uses This $6 Mascara For Long, Dark Lashes

IF I were stranded on an island and only had one makeup item, it’d be mascara. Lash definition is integral to my existence so I’m constantly gawking over celebrities full, bouncy lashes. Before I writhe with envy, though, I have to remind myself they’re usually wearing falsies. However, this past week makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic disclosed he skips fake lashes when working on Kim Kardashian and I’ve never wanted to know what mascara a celebrity uses so bad.

Kim Kardashian Didn't Always Look Like This

The changing looks of Kim Kardashian


Kim Kardashian catapulted to enormous fame in the early 2000s, thanks to a date with newly-single Nick Lachey, a sex tape, and her frenemy-ship with fellow celebutante Paris Hilton. Love her or hate her, the reality starlet has gone on to become one of the most famous and most photographed women in the world in the ensuing decade. While her long and silky dark hair, her nude, glossy lips, her smoky eye makeup, and her eterna-bronzed skin are her signatures, Kardashian's looks and general style have evolved immensely through the years. She's gone platinum blonde, made the "strobing" makeup technique a "thing," popularized the bandage dress, wore leather while pregnant, and poured her signature kurves into many a latex frock. But overall, she still looks similar to her original form. Let's look back at Kardashian's changing looks, from top to toe.

Cheap indoor exercise bike

Thousands of satisfied owners give the Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike top marks as a great indoor exercise bike at an equally great price. This exercise bike is a basic indoor cycle that's easy to assemble and is reported as very durable. It uses a heavy-duty flywheel similar to fitness center exercise bikes, but doesn't include convenience features such as a computer, heart-rate monitor or water-bottle holder. The bike includes a one-year frame warranty and 90-day parts coverage.

What prenatal vitamins do to your body

Prenatal vitamins are specialized vitamins designed to meet the increased nutrition needs of pregnant and lactating women. A healthy diet is one of the keys to having a healthy pregnancy. Unfortunately, many pregnancy-related symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and food aversions, can prevent women from eating well-balanced meals. In my practice as a registered dietitian, I see even the most motivated mama has a hard time sticking with an optimal diet. Most doctors and dietitians recommend that women take a prenatal vitamin both during and after pregnancy to help ensure the nutrient needs of both mom and baby are met.

Everything you need to know about almond milk

These days you'd be hard-pressed to find a grocery store or coffee shop not offering almond milk. In fact, as I sit here writing this article, I'm sipping my Starbucks almond milk latte and wondering just how basic this makes me. And I'm not the only one jumping on the almond milk train. Sales of non-dairy milk have reached over $1.4 billion annually, with almond milk making up about two-thirds of those sales.

Things you didn't know about weight loss surgery

Weight loss surgery seemed like a magical solution to shedding unwanted pounds until I witnessed my mom go through the lengthy and difficult process in 2010. My perception of what weight loss surgery was and how it affected those who had the procedure done was based on reality television shows like My 600-lb Life, and the vague understanding I had of what the surgery actually entailed. I thought, "Your stomach gets smaller, you eat less, and 'VoilĂ !' you're skinny!" Little did I know this idea was simplistic and false.

Tips to make your eyes look brighter

"Wow, you look great! Is the baby sleeping through the night?" I smiled at the question. "Nope!" I replied, and held out my new eye brightening stick. I had been tired of looking so tired, so when the Bare Minerals eye brightener caught my eye at the mall, I had to go for it. I couldn't believe what a difference it made, and I was curious to see what else was out there.

10 pushup mistakes you're probably making

 10 pushup mistakes you're probably making
You've probably been doing some form of pushup since elementary school P.E. class, so of course you know how to do one correctly, right? Well, maybe not! If I've learned anything from my 15-plus years in the fitness industry, it's that most people are terrible at performing bodyweight exercises like pushups with proper form. And I'm not the only one who's noticed this.

Symptoms of postpartum depression you shouldn't ignore

Having a baby can be one of the happiest times in a new mother's life. While the experience can be at times overwhelming due to stress and exhaustion, generally mothers adapt to their new role without much difficulty. Sometimes, however, new mothers experience a form of depression — known as postpartum depression— that can make the stress and exhaustion feel overwhelming.
