sundance

When it comes to fuss-free style, loose waves seem to be on the top of everyone's list. Four ladies at Sundance were spotted sporting the style, and they all prove, you can pull off the look no matter your hair length. From a long bob à la January Jones to a cascading style like Amanda Seyfried, loose waves are a sure way to look effortlessly chic.

If your hair requires a little more styling than just a wash and go, achieving this sexy style is matching your tool to your hair length. Those attempting shorter styles like January's midlength lob or Evan Rachel Wood's bob should opt for a one-inch barrel or try a flat iron with a curved shaft as a curling tool. If your hair has more length like Amanda's or Kate Bosworth's, reach for a two-inch barrel to give the bottom of your hair some movement. Remember to curl in opposite directions and finger brush your hair for a more tousled look. Now repeat after me: "I swear I just rolled out of bed like this!"

We had a chance to chat with Dr. Dean Ornish, founder and president of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, over the weekend at the Sundance Film Festival. He's a featured health expert in the new documentary, Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare, which examines the current state of our health care system and provides hopeful solutions based on lifestyle and dietary changes. A big proponent of chronic disease prevention through healthy habits, Dr. Ornish offered up some sound advice and simple changes we can all make to improve our health — chocolate included!

FitSugar: What do you think is the most simple, overlooked thing people can do for their health?
Dr. Ornish: Love more. What you eat, how you respond to stress, how much you exercise, whether or not you smoke, how much love and support you have. But of all those, probably the love and support. Study after study has shown that people who are lonely and depressed are 10 times for likely to die or get sick. You're more likely to smoke and abuse yourself if you're lonely and depressed. It's not enough to just work at a behavioral level and give people information; you have to work at a deeper level.

FS: Everyone has days where they don't want to exercise, how do you motivate yourself on those days?
DO: If I really don't want to, I don't, and then I'll do more the next day. What matters is your overall way of eating and living. So if you don't do something one day, do a little more the next. If I don't have time to meditate for an hour, I'll do it for a minute. It's not all or nothing at any age, and it's really up to you.

FS: People like to stick with their daily habits; how do you get individuals to change their behavior towards healthier choices?
DO: It's about helping people connect the dots between what they do and how they feel, and giving them the tools. Fear is not a sustainable motivator. You can scare people into changing for a few weeks, but not for very long. When you make changes, most people find that they feel so much better so quickly, it reframes the reason for changing from fear of dying to joy of living, and that's what makes it sustainable. Also, to realize that it's not all or nothing. Instead of saying this is good food and this is bad food, and don't ever eat meat, be a vegetarian — I never tell people that. I used to a long time ago and then I realized I was actually not only not helping people, but making it worse. It turns people off because even more than being healthy, people want to be free, so when you tell people what to do they stop listening. If you eat meat five times a day, eat it three times a day or have a meatless Monday and see how you feel. If you don't exercise one day, do a little more the next. Then you start to feel better and then it comes out of your own experience, not because some doctor or some book told you.

The Sundance Film Festival kicked off over the weekend, and while PopSugar's got all the details on the celebrity happenings, our friends at Slashfood have the 411 on what the stars are eating. There are several uber chic eateries and a series of private dinners, called ChefDance, headlined by different celeb chefs. Interested in who's cooking the meals and which A-listers will be in attendance? Head over to Slashfood for the whole story.

At this year's Sundance Film Festival, stars bundled up in chic, Winter outerwear. Naomi Watts and Kerry Washington sported sleek puff jackets in Park City. Kristen Stewart, Jon Hamm, and James Franco were all spotted in a variety of cozy parkas by Woolrich John Rich & Bros. Jessica Alba wore a super chic faux fur coat by Opening Ceremony, inspired by Where the Wild Things Are. These Sundance starlets are proof that cold weather is no excuse to abandon style . . .

Are two super slick puffers better then one? Ja. The proof is in the puff at the Sundance Film Festival, where Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts snuggled for a photo. What's interesting is both puffers have an extra wet look to them, making them even more unique. Black is always right; navy, also a sound color choice. The wetter, the better!
