    At the 2013 Grammy Awards red carpet, stars stepped out looking confident and beautiful. While we were gawking at our favorite musicians during the show, we noticed an interesting shift in the beauty world. The hair and makeup trends on the carpet were gorgeous, albeit safe, but the real stars of the show were the manicures.


    Whether they used custom made colors or nail art appliques, the manicures at the Grammys were absolutely noteworthy. Shockingly, Taylor Swift did her own nails for the occasion, using a shimmery pink polish and giving hope to girls everywhere who love a good DIY. As for the rest of the amazing nail art, we got the scoop on the exact techniques and polishes used by the stars so you can get the look at home.

    Salmon is loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep hair hydrated and touchable.

    One of the first things people notice about us is our hair. It's also one our top priorities when we want to make ourselves look and feel good. But maintaining beautiful and healthy hair takes more than just 20 minutes each morning. Healthy hair results from a combination of things, which not only include the products we use , but the foods we eat as well. Maintaining a healthy diet impacts the health, strength and luster of our hair.

    Omega-3 Fatty Acids

    We hear a lot about Omega-3 these days, and for good reason. Fish like salmon and trout, as well as pumpkins seeds, walnuts and avocados, provide this golden nectar to cells throughout our body to lubricate and hydrate. The importance it plays for our hair is to keep it shiny and hydrated, and free from breakage caused by dryness.

    To complement your diet for hydrated hair, L'Oreal's Power Moisture with Hyaluronic shampoo and conditioner provides 10 times hydration for ultimate softness.

    The increase in environmental toxins, processed foods, and stress, as well as the advancing ages at which couples seek to have children, have made it more difficult for women to conceive. This is valuable information women and their partners need in order to conceive with ease and confidence, and to bear healthy children.

    Q: It seems like women today are having a harder time getting pregnant. Is that true? Why is it that so many women are struggling with fertility these days?
    Victoria:     The most important factors that impact a women's fertility are her age, weight, and the chemicals and stress that can disrupt her hormonal balance. Fertility starts to go down in women as early as their late 20s but markedly decreases after age 35. Obesity, which is ever more common, makes it harder to conceive and increases miscarriage rates. Now women are exposed to thousands of environmental chemicals, many of which act as endocrine

  • "Girls" star Allison Williams revealed she watches every new episode of her hit HBO series with her dad, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, and said sitting through the sex scenes aren't that awkward. Allison told Anderson, "It is a unique experience," and added, "I've filled my parents in on what's coming and I always prepare them, and usually they kind of live through the filming of it with me because we are very close."

    Allison went on to say many of her co-stars met her famous father, saying, "All the boys who have been partners of Marnie on the show get so uncomfortable around my dad when they meet him. What he usually does is he slaps them on the back and is like, 'That was so funny,' which totally throws people off.'"

  • Want to join your man for Super Bowl Sunday? Learn how!One conflict rears its ugly head in many men's lives: sports versus significant other. It's understandable that a woman might feel like second fiddle to her boyfriend's sports obsession. With a few quick etiquette tips, though, women can figure out how with their guy's life during sports seasons.

    We love a gal who truly loves sports. When a woman caters her schedule around her beloved team, it's real. My best girlfriend from college is a Steelers fan who not only caught every game, but also vented frustration with little known Steeler backup players. These kinds of women are welcome additions to a group of sports viewers.

    But if a woman tries too hard, we'll see right through it. Fringe fans flock to teams like the New York Yankees because they're trendy. A woman who roots honestly for random teams like the Buffalo Bills, Northwestern Wildcats, or Kansas City Royals is much more respected among males. We notice when women come out of the woodwork to support a team in the playoffs, or

    Calories, calories, calories. This is a concept we all know far too well, especially when trying to lose weight.

    Our cultural obsession with cutting and counting calories makes it seem controlling caloric intake is a necessary evil to maintain a healthy body. This isn't the case.

    Calories are simply a measure of energy. They represent the energy our bodies need to grow, function, and work optimally.It's easy to get fixated on calories alone when you're trying to lose weight, but it's important to remember that the type of calorie you're eating is just as important as the number of calories you're eating.

    Why Protein is Important

    So why are calories from protein so important? First, a short review of basic nutrition. We get caloric energy from our food. All food contains three macronutrients:

    • Protein - 4 calories per gram
    • Carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram
    • Fats - 9 calories per gram

    These are the only substances that provide
