It appears that a hirsute man in India has the dubious distinction of having the longest ear hairs in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. What do you say to that? "Gee, your hair looks terrific?" How about, "My friend, have I got a product for you!"

With all this attention being paid to Robert Pattinson's shirtless moment in New Moon, it's time to give some love to that face that's been making fans swoon all over the world. He's a lot more expressive than his on-screen counterpart Edward Cullen, so there's tons to look at. Plus, that hair gets so much attention for a reason; there's just something so sexy about how he runs his fingers through it. If you're not that into the Twilight madness, it may not win you over, but if you're already on the Rob train - enjoy.

Mom-Me Time: Pick Up a Copy of The Help

babysugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:30:49 -0800

If mama's got a few minutes to herself and is looking for something that will take her mind to another world, she needs not look further than this gold and purple hardback book. The Help ($12) is a quick read that will steal her attention and her affection and leave her wanting more. Kathryn Stockett's first novel, the book about the relationships between mothers and the women that help them (nannies in particular) will have mommy laughing out loud, tearing up in the eyes, dog-earring pages with special passages and thinking about how she relates to some of the closest people in her life.

Just pages into the lengthy text and I was hooked. Unlike any book I've read in recent times, the characters in these pages immediately come to life and fully color the imagination. You can picture their hair, dream up their clothes and hear their voices like they're sitting on the bus right next to you. While they may be fictional muses, I wish I could meet them, thank them, reprimand them and have a tall glass of sweetened iced tea with them. Though the book is set back in the early '60s, some of the conversations and lessons are timeless. For the rest of my review, read more.

Centered around the lives of three caretakers, the hired "help" who tend to high society's children may occasionally be called "mama" as they often forge a closer bond with the child than his own mother. And while some women may have their best friends to rely on, the housekeeper frequently knows and cares more than her "best" friends -the phrase "dirty laundry" having a double meaning when it comes to life behind closed doors. In the end, it is a story about women taking extraordinary measures to right some wrongs, even if it means risking it all. Of all the lessons to be learned from this rich novel, the golden rule speaks loudest - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Maybe that's why she wrapped it in a glowing cover.

Before this goes to the theaters, which it surely will, buy it, read it and gift it to everyone you know. It will not disappoint.

Run, Sugar Run: Join the RunningSugar Community

FitSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:30:08 -0800

For me, running is not a love it or hate it issue. Like most relationships, my feelings about this form of fitness are more complicated. I like to think of it as an ongoing conversation. Sometimes runs bring me joy, and other times they feel like work. Regardless, when I'm done I am more at peace with the world.

If you run for pleasure, exercise, or some other reason, come join the ongoing conversation about the sport at RunningSugar. It's a section of the FitSugar Community dedicated to runners. Whether you consider yourself a runner or not, if you lace up your running shoes regularly, or even just semi-regularly, the group is rather inspirational. From the NYC Marathon to the best way to wear your hair when logging miles, RunningSugar covers a lot of ground.

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:15:00 -0800

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner kicked off the world wide press tour for New Moon on Tuesday in Paris. Kristen arrived in a girly, flesh-toned dress with her hair styled all down and parted in the centre. The following day in London, she wore her hair up, and last night at a fan event in Madrid, her hairstyle was more rocker looking with her fringe parted on the opposite side, and her layers less wispy.

Modeling After Others Mamas: Do You Fear Influences?

babysugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:30:40 -0800

If Lila Hack wasn't born crawling with a swagger, she is sure to learn it just by watching her mum. Model mother Kate Moss threw her godchild, 9-year-old Iris Law (daughter of Jude Law and Sadie Frost), the soiree of her dreams - a catwalk party. A well-known woman in the fashion world, the leggy Top Shop designer brought gobs of clothes, hairdressers, and makeup galore for the little darling and her pals, which happened to include her own 7-year-old daughter Lila Hack. Done up to the nines, it was then time for the youngsters to learn how to strut their stuff. While it may sound fun and fancy, one might wonder what kind of influence it has on the impressionable youths. One source said:

All of the girls at the bash wanted to be Kate. She brought along lots of clothes for them and the girls had their hair and make-up done especially. . . . Kate also presided over all of the accessories to make them look as catwalk-ready as possible. She was teaching them how to master her famous hip swagger and her "I don’t care look."

My hang-up? I always want my child to care. Would you allow your tot to attend a model party?

Do You Book More Appointments With Your Hairstylist Than Your Doctor?

BellaSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:00:52 -0800

A few years ago, I asked you how often you get your hair cut. The majority of you said that you go every few months, which was also the same response to how frequently you get highlights. When you add up all of the appointments you book with your hairstylist and colorist throughout the year, what does your magic number turn out to be?

Now, think about how many medical appointments you book throughout the year, from your primary physician to your dentist to your dermatologist. After all the math is done, where do you fall in the world of appointments? Are you more of a salon-goer, do you head to your various doctors with more frequency, or is it a little of both?
