Could a dietary no-no be the one thing that soothes dry, sensitive skin?
woman floating in sea
Short of entering a NASA simulation machine, the experience of swimming in the Dead Sea must be the closest anyone can get to spacewalking without leaving Earth. The water-8.6 times saltier than any ocean-is crystal clear, so you can see the craggy white topography of the sea floor beneath you as you float, weightless, like a buoy, even when you drift out and over deeper water. The sensation is supremely calming-not only because you're bobbing about in bath-warm water like a rubber duck, with no risk of drowning or becoming a shark's snack, but also because both the water and air are rich with minerals-including bromine, a popular nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century sedative-that have a relaxing effect on muscles and nerves. But what impressed me most when I reluctantly emerged from a long, blissful soak was how my skin looked and felt-springy, soft, and ultramoisturized-even several un-showered hours

Beloved singer, actress, dancer and fashion design celebrity, Virgo Beyoncé Knowles, and her equally famous husband, Sagittarius music mogul Jay, announced the birth of their baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, on Saturday evening, January 7, 2012. Their baby is a Capricorn, with her moon in loving, family-oriented Cancer.
Though confirming Blue Ivy's exact birth time proved difficult, I used clues gathered through various media reports to determine that Ivy is most likely a Virgo rising, so I set her chart at 9:50PM EST in New York City.
Family Life
Mother Beyoncé is earth sign Virgo, and with her baby's three earth planets (Sun, Mercury, and Pluto) in earth sign Capricorn, with a possibly Virgo rising, this little girl will always be emotionally close to her Mama. Beyoncé's natal moon is in Scorpio, blending beautifully and intuitively with

Charlize Theron
It takes confidence for any woman-even an ex-model equipped with indisputable leading-lady looks-to gain 30 pounds and modify herself with prosthetics to appear on 50-foot-high movie screens worldwide. But that's just what actress Charlize Theron did to play Aileen Wuornos in 2003's Oscar-winning Monster. "There's no way I could have understood that character without having an emotional connection to her appearance," Theron says. In her current project, Diablo Cody's Young Adult, which hit theaters December 16, she plays a fiction writer with a penchant for alcohol and ex-boyfriends, and a nervous hair-pulling habit that leaves her with bald spots. Not exactly a glamorous role either, but Theron, 36, isn't concerned with looking pretty. "My job is to be a blank canvas and embody the character that I'm playing." Of course it helps that, off duty, said canvas is anything but blank; for seven years Theron has played herself in the très chic Dior J'Adore fragrance campaign-a role she
