WatchI love Gary for these videos. He’s absolutely right. People need to run with the momentum they’ve built up from America loving to watch a train wreck on reality tv. However, as you can see from Gary’s video, it’s obvious that “The Situation” has no idea how to harness all the buzz around his….I can’t even really think of a polite way to...
Getting Dressed For Fashion Week
Both Tanya and Jaclyn put together trend-perfect outfits that would be showstoppers at New York Fashion Week.
However, for me, considering I need an outfit that transitions from day to night, is somewhat (but barely) comfortable, and looks good on camera, neither of these ensembles would work for me in this capacity. When you’re on camera, you have to look hot and play it safe - not an...

Your Five Ingredient Fix: Polenta with Sweet...
—By Nutritionista
The basis of my cooking philosophy is that it doesn’t have to be hard, involve lots of complicated ingredients, or be time-consuming to be absolutely delicious and nutritious (and make use of whole-food ingredients!). To that end, here’s a recipe that only requires five ingredients (excluding staples like salt, pepper, olive oil, etc.), takes less than 30...

via Kate Nassar, a career coach.
A few readers have emailed me recently about finding a coach to help them make a transition or grow within their field. It’s actually harder than it seems to find someone you trust to advise you, and quite expensive.
My best suggestion...

Dynamic Rest
When you’re working out one muscle group pretty hard, you need to rest that area in between sets. However, instead of just standing there, do a light exercise that focuses on a different area.
Common and easy choices you won’t have to think about are:
Crunches
Leg lifts
Pelvic pulses (for your butt)
Squats
Some other moves you might want to consider:
Rear deltoid raises (bend...

Chateauneuf-Du-Pape tonight!
hedonics:
I’m currently decanting a 2004 Domaine Lafond Roc-Epine Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. This bottle was a gift I’ve been saving for a special occasion. Or one special enough. I just needed a reason to open it. Can’t wait, I’ve loved every one I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.
Ron,
I’ve been to Avignon in the heart of the Rhone valley and toured vineyards with CDP wines. The standards to...

Make It: Protein Pancakes with Banana Butter
nutritionista:
I love these things! Thanks so much, Heather. I feel like I could eat these for breakfast every day. I used the same recipe I used last time, but this time I used all egg whites and added a tablespoon of regular flour in addition to the ground oats. I think this made the pancakes just a bit more fluffy.
The banana butter recipe is really complicated. You guys probably won’t be...
