Does your husband white knuckle the dashboard when you get behind the wheel? A new British poll says a third of men are afraid of their significant other's driving. And they had a whole slew of complaints to back up their fears.

TOP TEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT WOMEN'S DRIVING

1. Lack of concentration
2. Braking too late
3. Flicking the accelerator
4. Not avoiding rumble strips
5. Getting too close to other cars
6. Braking too hard
7. Fiddling with the stereo
8. Failure to indicate
9. Going too fast
10. Sticking in the middle lane

In addition to the one-third of men living in fear of the passenger seat, one-fifth said they'd literally grip the seat cushion due to their anxiety. (Fraidy cats!) And, of course, a large majority boasted the superiority of their own driving prowess over their spouse's.

YOU ASKED: How do I get rid of my stretch marks?
We turned to leading New York City dermatologist Dr. Lilly-Rose Paraskevas for the answer:

Stretch marks, or striae, are a defect in connective tissue caused by rapid changes in skin tension, usually weight loss or weight gain. They are a lot like scars, devoid of hair and other skin appendages that normal skin has.

There haven't been many studies addressing the treatment of stretch marks, and those that are out there are small and their results may not hold true for everyone.

The topical treatment that has shown most potential to treat stretch marks is a retinol or prescription retinoid cream, as these creams can rejuvenate skin. They are found in over-the-counter anti-wrinkle creams, as well as in acne and anti-wrinkle prescription medications. Unfortunately, since stretch marks are often a relatively deep defect in connective tissue, creams will most likely result in only a modest benefit.

One of the questions I get asked a lot as a sex therapist is - How many times a week is it normal to be having sex to have a normal sex life? The most important thing that I tell everyone is that it's personal, meaning that it's about YOUR level of desire and how often you want to be having sex coupled with how often your partner wants to be having sex.

If both of you are OK with having sex once a week or twice a week or twice a month even-- great! As long as neither one of you is feeling deprived or feels you're missing out on having the sexual intimacy, your sex life is up and running and working for the two of you.

Academic success impacts our children for the rest of their lives: it influences their self-esteem, college selections, job attainment, financial success, and even their choice of spouses. It's no wonder we go great lengths to give our kids an academic edge. But the good news is that parents can give their kids the edge they need without the help of elite preschools, expensive tutors, or pricey evaluations.

Here are seven surprisingly simple solutions that every parent should have in their toolbox that are proven to boost children's school success (and we often overlook).

1. Make sure your kids are getting enough ZZZ's. A lack of sleep can have a serious impact on children's abilities to learn and perform at school. Here's proof. So set a bedtime routine and keep to it every single night. Flashing images affect REM, so be sure to turn off the computer and television at least thirty minutes prior to bedtime. Take away the cell phones

Botox is the brand name for botulinum toxin. When injected cosmetically in small, diluted doses, it weakens muscles, causing a "youthful" effect. But data shows for the past few years, teen girls have caught the "I want to look younger" craze as well with more teens begging parents for injections (around $300-500 per treatment).

The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (which christened the craze, the "teen toxing trend") reported that almost 4000 more Botox procedures were performed on teens 18 and under in 2009 than in 2008. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has reported a small increase in patients 13 to 19 during the same time frame. Of course, you may have seen the brouhaha last month when 18-year-old Filipino actress Charice Pempengco got botox before her appearance on the hit show GLEE, although there are conflicting reports about why she was injected.

Family vacations, lazy pool days, outdoor barbecues. During the summer, it's easy for parents to be on sunscreen patrol. Now, students who hit the beach are getting ready to hit the books. But that doesn't mean the sunscreen should be shelved!

Data suggests that the majority of sun exposure in a person's life occurs before the age of 18. From school recess to after school play dates, it's important to give your kids a lesson in year-round sun safety. Break out your number two pencil! Here are some tips for preventing sunburn today and sun damage tomorrow.…courtesy of Dr. Kavita Mariwalla, Director of Mohs and Dermatologic Surgery at St. Luke's-Roosevelt and Beth Israel Medical Centers in New York City.

1. Buy empty lotion bottles (travel size) and fill them with sunscreen to pack in your child's backpack. That way it is easy to transport and easy for you to monitor their use. Tell your child to apply sunscreen before recess, sports and

That's right. Yoga, beyond being an incredible lifestyle and balanced-living practice, can also do wonders for our lady parts! Depending on your cup size, you might start to sag with age. However, underlying the breast tissue are layers of muscle.

We're going to target the pectoral muscles, large pads directly under the breasts that will provide you with the biggest difference in the shortest amount of time. These work exactly the same as bra pads, except they keep you looking great even when the bra comes off. And it's free.

The bottom line? Pump up your pecs, and everything else that lies on top of them will elevate too. That means a firmer, more youthful looking chest along with the toned, and detoxed rest of you that a consistent yoga practice can bring.
So, for those of you who want a little lift in the old frontview, forget about all those expensive pushup bras. All you need are some yoga pushups!

Yes, this works for guys, too.
