When your seasonal wardrobe consists of tank tops, bathing suits, skirts and shorts, there's no room to slack on shaving. To help you maintain your summer look, we tested 13 at-home hair removal products-including creams, epilators and trimmers-rating the smell, pain, time and results for each on a scale of 1 (worst) through 5 (best) to find out which products lived up to their promises and which were less than impressive.

Schick Quattro for Women TrimStyle

Score: 4.8
What WD had to say: Specifically intended for the bikini line, the Schick Quattro for Women TrimStyle has a four-blade razor at one end and a waterproof hair trimmer at the other. "Once I got the hang of the trimmer I found it easy to use-it reminded me of when I would help my husband trim the hair on the back of his neck," our reviewer said. "For women who aren't into waxing the bikini area, this item is a must-have for bathing suit season." Photo courtesy of Schick.

Roll out of bed, wake up your brain, and work out your body in (good morning!) 6 minutes. It's even better with your eyes closed.

We're not saying that 6 minutes will turn you into Kim Kardashian. But this routine is more than genius. New York City trainer Michael Gonzalez-Wallace has been teaming up with a Columbia University neuroscientist for the last couple of years to design what can only be called the next generation of exercise.

"In the begining I was training all these very succesfful people, but their minds would be on something else," says Gonzalez-Wallace. So he began to add balance and coordination challenges to the strength-training moves, inspired by his years as a former semi-pro basketball player in Spain. Sometimes he even had his clients exercise with their eyes closed. "I started seeing incredible results. The older ones were thinking more sharply and the young people were getting massive definition-really fast."

Since then, science has confirmed his instincts and

Grab a Starbucks strawberry scone in the morning and by the time you arrive at work, you've blown your saturated fat allotment for the day. That's according to the U.S. Government's new advisory report-a precursor to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines comimg out later this year. It's also what the American Heart Association recommends.

Saturated fat has been on the food terrorist list for a while (code name "heart attack on a plate.") So it was quite a shock when, earlier this year, research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found otherwise. The authors reviewed 21 studies involving 347,747 people, looking for the link between eating saturated fat and the risk of heart disease, and found... nada. Now, if you're a suspicious sort, you might note that some of the funding came from the National Dairy Association (butter, cream, and cheese being poster foods for saturated fat). But the authors-and the National Institutes of Health, which also provided support-went further to ask a

Candy is obviously not the go-to food when you're trying to lose weight. It's kind of like shopping for Manolos on a Payless budget. But we adore our shoes and our sweets. And if metallic is the new black, then cocoa is the color of confection. In our recent snacking poll, 23 percent of you admit to a weakness for candy, but of those, 21 percent say it's all about chocolate.

True, we're always reading stories about how chocolate is a health food; its flavonoids seem to reduce blood pressure, and a good portion of its fats don't clog the circulatory system. But that's when you nibble on it-and minus the chewy, gooey, truffley, nuggets that make us eat it in large, caloric amounts.

So check out this healthy GPS to guide you through the chocolate candy aisles-and beyond. Thanks to The Nutrition Twins, Tammy Lakatos Shames and Lyssie Lakatos, both registered dietitians and authors of The Secret to Skinny and Fire Up Your Metabolism, we've got some great ways to treat a
