Fairchild Archive In for a wild night? This step-by-step plan will make you look like you had a boring evening of TV, followed by sleep!

First, be prepared for the worst.
Alcohol dries out everything--your skin, hair, even your brain. To get a hydration boost from inside out, pop a fish oil supplement or B12-complex vitamin while you're getting ready to go out. You'll look refreshed and feel less fuzzy the next day.

Prevent puffiness.
Try sleeping with an extra pillow. "The additional height helps promote lymphatic drainage and prevents fluid from accumulating," says makeup artist Jemma Kidd. You can also apply a B5 serum to skin before bed-that helps too.

In the morning, caffeinate your face.
Caffeine combats inflammation and helps stimulate skin--making it the perfect remedy for the hangover trifecta: blotchiness, eye circles, and dullness. Makeup artist Sir John, who works with models like Karlie Kloss, suggests placing warm

You think you know what guys like? They like you. And IMHMO (in my humble male opinion), these things show how cool, funny, and caring you are.

1. You make fun of me starting the minute we meet, and even my wingman's laughing.

2. You ignore my texts but answer my calls. I should've just called, and I know it.

3. You send your overcooked steak back. You send your flat beer back. You have high standards! Just don't send me back, OK?

4. You leave me wanting more when you kiss me good night. Best/worst walk home ever.

5. You constantly quote Liz Lemon. Because you're right: Tina Fey is brilliant.

6. You've somehow coaxed my dog, Piano, into liking you more than he likes me. And I feed him!

7. You tell me your ex is an Olympic swimmer. Also, your other ex has seven tattoos, and your college boyfriend owns a social-media start-up and drives a Porsche. Because (ha-ha!) you're

NeNe Leakes, star of three-count 'em, three!-hot TV shows, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Glee, and The New Normal, shares her Glamour DOs and DON'Ts guide to life.

A lot of people don't know that before I was a reality star, I was an actress. So the transition to scripted TV was easy for me--I love playing Roz on Glee and Rocky on The New Normal. I also love my life, and I've got some rules I live by that you should too:

DON'T be anyone but you.
I'm just not into trying to convince people like me. I always say to myself, It is what it is. I walk into a situation knowing that people are either going to love me or they're not, and that's OK. I'm just going to be me. You can't be everything to everyone.

DO know that chic is within your reach.
One of my girlfriends is a real estate broker who doesn't make a ton of money. Every year, she buys one new bag for the summer and one for the winter, and it keeps her looking great without having to go

Randi Zuckerberg is no shrinking violet. At 23, the Harvard psych grad joined the marketing team at the fledgling Facebook, where she soon did all the talking for her famously press-shy brother, Mark. She also fronted an in-house cover band that performed at work functions (Evanescence Essence--you can catch the band on YouTube) and converted a closet in the company's Palo Alto offices into a TV studio, conducting interviews with celebrities who visited (hey, Katy Perry!) and posting them on Facebook.

CN Digital StudioBreast cancer has been linked to a head-swimming number of possible causes, from eating too much soy to wearing underwire bras. "Every minor study gets so much play," says Dr. Love, "that women start to believe all these things can raise or lower their risk. But most aren't backed by solid science." These four are.

Excercise can reduce your risk by 25 to 30 percent. "About five hours of brisk walking a week is ideal," says Paul Goss, M.D., a professor at Harvard Medical School. "More doesn't give you an added benefit, so you don't have to be a marathon runner." Why does working out help? Experts believe it may reduce stress and inflammation, and boost the way your immune system responds to cancer cells.

Maintaining a healthy weight lowers your odds by up to 250 percent. "Fat cells pick up and store estrogen," explains Avon's Hurlbert, "and since estrogen drives most breast cancers, the fewer fat cells you
