by Molly Goodson

It's time for the 2013 POPSUGAR 100 bracket! Over the next few weeks we need your votes to make our sixth annual POPSUGAR 100 list. We're taking your picks with an interactive bracket. This year, we're mixing things up by narrowing down the list in four categories: The Fresh Faces, The Phenoms, The Game Changers, and The Classics. From there, take your top four and bring it down to one big winner.

Will Robert Pattinson regain his crown, or is it Gwyneth Paltrow or Ryan Gosling's year? Does Michelle Obama get your pick, or will royal baby excitement give Kate Middleton the win? It's up to you!

Start by clicking here to play, and go through the matchups by picking your favorite celebrity each time, narrowing down the group. Share your winner, and watch to see who walks away with the 2013 POPSUGAR 100 crown! Plus, when you finish choosing your winner, you have the opportunity to enter to win a fabulous Victoria Beckham handbag!

Dry Off With One Kings Lane's Limited-Edition Designer Beach Towels

by Angela Elias

As if you needed another reason to hit the pool or beach this season, we're giving you one: One Kings Lane just launched a collection of limited-time-only designer beach towels guaranteed to get more head turns than the designer swimsuit you saved up for. The new series offers frame-worthy designs from fashion and home heavyweights like Celerie Kemble, Nanette Lepore, and Steven Alan, all for just $29. Plus, the proceeds from this exclusive collection will benefit each participating designer's charity of choice — winning you style and philanthropic points. While Tracy Reese is the first designer to kick off the series, we've landed you a sneak peek of the rest of the collections launching from now through August. Be sure to pin the towel you'll be waiting for, and pounce on them before they sell out!

Don't Throw Away Stale Bread! Feed It to Your Plants

Here's a quick tip: don't trash your bread when it's stale; just repurpose it by feeding it to your living greens.

by Sarah Lipoff

Here's a quick tip: don't trash your bread when it's stale; just repurpose it by feeding it to your living greens.

Dry stale bread in the oven, and then grind in the blender, creating fine bread crumbs. Simply mix with your potting soil or rake into your garden. The crumbs will add nutrients and moisture to your happy plants.

Take a look at our favorite cats getting comfy in the kitchen.
