Fitness in 3-2-1What if I told all you exercise haters than you only need 3 minutes of exercise a week? Would you be my new best friend? Would you be motivated to finally get off the couch? I could probably find it in me somewhere to handle just 3 minutes of exercise a week. You couldn't possibly sweat that much in 3 minutes, so I wouldn't even have to add an extra shower to my daily routine. Now that's a huge bonus.
You might think I'm teasing you with this seemingly silly little claim, but doctor-turned-journalist Michael Mosley put this theory to the test and found it to be true. Now there is a catch, of course. It can't be a casual 3 minute stroll to the mailbox. It's 3 minutes of intense exercise. You may have heard of HIIT, or high intensity interval training. That's exactly what this is, but taken to a whole new level. Instead of 30 or 60 minutes of cardio with moments of intense exertion thrown in the mix (which is a very effective workout), this routine consists of super quick

By Babble.com | Pets – Mon, May 13, 2013 3:52 PM EDTLook, I have a teacup chihuahua (total accident, she found us) so I totally understand that there is an actual purpose for canine apparel. In the dead of Winter, here in Los Angeles no less, poor Stinkerbell shivers to the bone if we don't wrap her in her best snowflake sweater. (It's adorable.) However…HOWEVER I'm not convinced that there is any reason ever to subject your dog to these fashion faux paus (or should I say faux paws…punny, no?) despite their being totally hilarious. So without further adieu, Ahoy. Sailors say that right? Whatever. These dogs look ridiculous. - By Morgan Shanahan

By Babble.com | Love + Sex – Mon, May 13, 2013 1:29 PM EDTThirteen years ago, after Casey and I let the cat out of the bag and told everyone we were engaged, we were both bombarded with marriage tips. Some of that advice was good advice and some of that advice was… not. Unfortunately for us, we didn't know which tips were good tips and which tips were bad tips. We had to learn through trial and error, and some of those learning experiences almost cost us our marriage-and many nights of sleep. I'm sure that some of the advice is good for other couples, but it was just plain bad advice for us. And I'm also sure that some of the advice I would give to a newlywed couple would turn out to be terrible advice for them in the end as well. But some of the tips we received, we'd never give to anyone else regardless of the couple and I have no idea how some of these tips ever passed as good marriage advice in the first place. Here is my list of the top 7 worst marriage tips that I received before I got married. - By Cody Coombs

By Babble.com | Work + Money – Mon, May 13, 2013 12:58 PM EDTThe Hollywood Reporter is featuring Sofia Coppola in it's special Cannes Film Festival Guide. In an article called "Sofia Coppola: The Trials, Tears and Talent," Stephen Galloway allows us to spend some time with Sofia who has been missing from the film scene since the lackluster reviews of Marie Antoinette. Sofia will be debuting a new film at Cannes. Bling Ring is based on the true crime spree story that thrilled and shocked the California socialite scene in 2010. The article continues to talk about Sofia's creative process, including what her life is like when she is not filming, which is focused on her two daughters, touring with her husband, and writing new scripts. Sofia is in good company with this kind of multitasking schedule as she is one of a number of hard working women directors. Check out the slideshow below of 7 women directors we love!
