The quest for great skin often takes some unexpected turns. Whether it's trying the latest fad in moisturizers (caviar, bee pollen, and algae to name a few) or test-driving the newest diamond encrusted microdermabrasion, chemical fillers, and enzyme peels, there's not a lot women won't try for wrinkle-free skin.
Sometimes, the answer isn't always what you'd expect. Dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD, whose eponymous skin care line has been a go-to since it launched in 1997, urges that good skin begins at the grocery store. Considered 'The Godfather of the Inflammation Theory,' the quest to find better ways to fight aging and disease through diet, Perricone has been at the forefront of eating healthy foods for your skin.

mo better you At 30, after a breakup that involved spotting her boyfriend draped around another woman, digital strategist Amy Webb decided to try meeting men online. And she did: On JDate, Match.com, and eHarmony, she met guys who were six inches shorter or 30 pounds heavier than advertised; who picked expensive restaurants and passed the check to her; and who told her, mid drink, that they were married.
One night, after another bad match and a solo bottle of wine, Webb rejoined JDate-this time posing as a man, to check out her competition. Then she took it further. Webb crafted 10 male profiles so perfect they had to be fake (sample code name: JewishDoc1000) to gather data: what the site's most popular women looked like, which keywords they used, how they timed their messages.

"Girls and guys love cupcakes, and mine are just one bite," said Baked by Melissa founder Melissa Ben-Ishay, whose mini cupcakes have struck a cord with fashion insiders and celebrities (for instance, her creations were featured at HBO's Girls premiere party last night; see image below). "Just like fashion design, I can create a cupcake to resemble or feel like anything," Ben-Ishay remarked. "I worked with Betsey Johnson to create an original cupcake for Fashion Week, and I also created a cupcake to match Marc Jacobs's Oh Lola fragrance."
But why has the sartorial scene become so enamored with her treats (aside from their addictive nature)? "They're cute to look at which people in the fashion world love, and they're the perfect treat for those who are health conscious," Ben-Ishay explained.

We've all been here before: We start the year with the best of intentions to lose weight, save money, or stop drinking, only to start February on the couch with champagne and cupcakes. Resolving to improve our relationships in little ways, however, is more realistic than we think. Below are 25 of them-whether we're single, dating, or deeply committed.
1. Apply CEO logic to your relationship. Mega-successful people don't dwell on their failures; they treat them as learning opportunities. Think: What if that bad breakup was the best thing that ever happened to you?
2. Shut the bathroom door. You can't maintain sexy mystique if he can see hair remover on the sink or talk to you while you are on the toilet.
3. Go to your girlfriends instead of your man to vent. For women, talking about problems releases
