Reality Check: Felicity Huffman Eats Muffins

FitSugar — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Her show, Desperate Housewives, may be full of melodrama, but Felicity Huffman is refreshingly down to earth. The 45-year-old star appears on the September cover of More magazine, looking fabulous and speaking frankly about her fitness habits and finding a healthy balance.

I particularly like what she had to say about finding a personal trainer with a realistic attitude:

"I've had a lot of trainers through the years, and they’re always like, 'Oh my god, you ate a muffin?' and 'What do you mean you weigh 125? You can’t shoot at that weight.' [Kirsten Holtgreen is] the first trainer who's said, 'You’re not eating enough.'"

To see what else Huffman had to say about maintaining a healthy weight and wearing Madonna's underwear, read more.

On struggling with weight: "I'd take a vacation, and if I was heavy, it was a bad vacation, and if I was light-or, you know, lighter-it was a good vacation."

On gaining acceptance: “For some reason, after giving birth-which is when you look like a bag of doorknobs-I actually looked at myself in the mirror and went, ‘I look beautiful!’ I don’t know why, but that sort of tipped it for me."

Another funny tidbit from the article: In 1988 Huffman took over Madonna's role in a David Mamet play on Broadway. She found the material girl's thong in her dressing room and decided to try it on: "I was like, 'This is Madonna’s underwear!' Of course, it didn’t fit me." She may not wear Madonna's size, but both stars are extremely fit and fabulous!

Website of the Day: More Cloth

GeekSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:15:30 -0800

I'm a total DIY freak, and appreciate websites that help me reach my crafting goals. Take my last DIY project: the charging station I made from an Ikea shelving unit. Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop. But how do I find the right fabric? I could browse racks of fabric at my local craft store, or I could do it the easy way (without leaving the warmth of my computer) and hit up More Cloth.

This site works seamlessly with Etsy to lead you to your perfect fabric. First it offers up a ton of color schemes to choose from (like in the photo to the right), and then directs you to the exact fabric patterns that contain those colors. Finally, More Cloth shoots you over to the Etsy page where you can add your chosen fabric to your cart, and prep your craft room accordingly - just sit back and wait for your fabric to arrive!

Do You Look More Like Your Mother or Your Father?

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:03:19 -0800

Last night at the opening of Jade Jagger's jewellery and clothing store in London, she cozied up to proud papa Mick Jagger. Absent from the celebratory soiree was mom Bianca, however, she and Jade are often spotted together at events like the Spring Lanvin Fashion Show in Paris. From these photos, I can see that Jade has her father's smiling eyes and her mother's nose and round cheeks. I've been told I look just like my mom, as we have the same eye colour, nose shape, lip contours and facial structure, but no one can deny that I have my dad's teeth. How about you - did you inherit more features from your mum or your dad?

Jennifer, Gwyneth and More Spend Thanksgiving in Morocco

Molly — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:12:41 -0800

While many of us were chowing down on Thanksgiving, some stars were all decked out for the re-opening of the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech, Morocco yesterday. Jennifer Aniston led the way in her sexy black gown after arriving in town just in time for the party. Orlando Bloom had his glamorous girlfriend Miranda Kerr on his arm while Salma Hayek opted for a one-shouldered dress. Gwyneth Paltrow went with something lighter as she spent the American holiday away from her family. Adrien Brody recently wowed us with his hot shirtless abs in Hawaii, but he also looked pretty dapper all dressed up to hit the red carpet.

Gavin Is Thankful For His Time on the Court

PopSugar — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:30:00 -0800

Gavin Rossdale fit in a workout on the tennis court before the long holiday weekend in LA on Wednesday. The singer is a big fan of the game, and we can't help but admire his shirtless form which is looking even more amazing than last year's pre-Turkey Day game. Gavin and Gwen are great fitness role models, which they've already instilled in the boys with their frequent park visits including an annual Thanksgiving stroll.

John Mayer Hits the Stage and Number One

Molly — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:00:00 -0800

John Mayer performed in Toronto on Tuesday night before twittering he was taking a break from the stage for the holiday. He has something big to be thankful for since Battle Studies reached number one on the Billboard 200. John managed to find new ways to talk about his sex life and dating history while he's been out promoting the album, but according to him the music is what matters, and it seems the fans agree. Congrats to John!

Over 10 Million Turtles Can Be Thankful For TAMAR

PetSugar — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 08:00:50 -0800

Founded in 1979, TAMAR has released around 10 million turtles into the sea since then. The National Marine Turtle Conservation Program in Brazil monitors over 600 miles of beaches with 20 stations covering the country. Rescuers seek nests by following turtle tracks in the sand. If the locations are deemed dangerous, they're moved to safer sites or open-air beach hatcheries to protect eggs from predators, tides, or other dangers to survive.

Because of close monitoring, more hatchlings survive and are watched to make sure they are set free to sea. As the last post in the Thankful Week, check out tiny turtles growing safely, swimming around and getting fed special medicine.

Which Is More Expensive?

BellaSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:00:23 -0700

No matter how many times I see a caviar night cream or a diamond-encrusted lip gloss, I still experience sticker shock. Of course, there are an abundance of beauty items that don't cost and arm and a leg, and for that I am grateful. But when it comes to the asking price of the following beauty items compared to price tags of some similar-sounding products, can you guess which ones are more expensive? (And can you guess how much I am fantasizing about this coconut cupcake, too?)
