Having problems in the bedroom or looking for ways to spruce things up with yur beau? Forget the sex therapist; just visit the grocery store!

This vegetable is rich in Vitamin E which is thought to stimulate the production of your sex hormones -- essential for a healthier sex life.

As an eligible single woman, it's only natural to be looking for that significant other who will sweep you off your perfectly pedicured, Louboutin-clad feet. You go out with the girls in hopes of catching the eye of your future Prince Charming and securing that fairytale ending, but sometimes dating trials run amuck, leaving you with an experience that you wish you could have skipped out on.

It's become generally accepted wisdom to drink eight glasses of water a day. The universal advice has practically made guzzling water a national pastime. But let's face it, drinking that much water everyday isn't that easy for some of us. The 8x8 rule can be a good rule of thumb when it comes to staying hydrated, but that's not the only piece of advice that can help. Here are some helpful (and more enjoyable) ways to make sure that you're drinking up every single day:

1. Get a fluid companion. Carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere you go and refill it throughout the day. Keeping a water companion with you will serve as a constant reminder to drink up. We especially love Klean Kanteen's stainless steel water bottles, $15.95, at rei.com.

2. Meditate
Yoga, meditation, and other tranquil activities allow you to calmly sort out your thoughts and relieve any feelings of anxiousness. If you need to release an excess amount of stress as well, try a session of bikram yoga (also known as hot yoga) that will have you sweating out all of

As we all know, in the world of fashion, one day you're in and the next day you're out. Styles come and go. We have all experienced the "what was I thinking?" moments, when our once "super chic" outfits and styles become outdated and turn into nothing more than a serious fashion emergency. The same is true for hair. We've all fallen victim to a wrong hairstyle at some point in our lives. Let's take a look at some of the most questionable looks over the past 100 years. (I bet you've tried one or two of these 'dos before...)

1920s: "The Shingle" haircut (above)

The "shingle" haircut, or as we know it today -- the classic bob. As skirt hemlines got shorter, so did ladies' haircuts. In the 1920s, a really short bob (especially at the back of the neck) with straight across-bangs that covered the ears was the "fashion-in" for ladies' hairstyles. In 2009, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham brought the bob back with a modern twist and many of us caught
