Dear Poll: Are You Spiritual?

DearSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

If you've been watching Oprah lately, you know that she's been spending a lot of time talking about spirituality, something that she considers to be the "most important foundation of anyone's life."

Spirituality comes in many different forms and it affects everyone uniquely, but whatever form it takes, it usually enables you to be the best version of yourself. With that said, being spiritual isn't for everyone, so what I want to know is . . .

Is Leona Lewis America's Next Super Diva?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:30:57 PDT

As my girl in the UK pointed out, Leona Lewis' single "Bleeding Love" from her upcoming album Spirit is No. 1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 right now. Lewis is the winner of the British TV show X Factor and has folks like Simon Cowell and Clive Davis heavily invested in her success.

However, based on this song "Bleeding Love," her voice is strong but I'm not sure I can hear Xtina or Whitney material in there.

I'll keep an open mind, but for all the publicity Lewis is getting, I wonder if she'll be able to live up to the hype when her album drops here in the U.S. on April 18.

Are you excited for Leona Lewis' record? Do you think she's destined for a spot among pop diva greats? To see the video for "Bleeding Love",

Do You Believe in Spirits?

DearSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:00:00 PST

Everyone has a theory about what happens after you pass away. Some feel that you go to heaven, some believe you are reborn again, and some people think that when you die, your spirit dies too. Then there are those who think that your spirit lives on as a guardian angel, and that spirits are found among people who are still living.

I've never had a personal experience with a spirit, but my mother has. One time, when I was 11 or 12, my mom and I were in the kitchen and she told me she could feel her sister's spirit in the room. I got shivers because her sister had passed away a few years before. It definitely freaked me out to think that my aunt's ghost was walking around the kitchen with us, but it comforted my mom.

So I'm wondering, have you ever had a supernatural experience? Have you ever felt the presence of a deceased friend or relative? Or do you think there are no such things as spirits?

While searching for fitness DVDs online, I found Acacia - it's a wonderful source for beautiful and natural products that relax and rejuvenate.

They have distinctive creations for the body, spirit, and home - for inspiration, well-being, and for a more healthy and balanced life.

You can find unique clothing, footwear, beauty supplies, jewelry, and books. But really - they have an exceptional DVD collection that's pretty reasonably priced.

I found some great videos on Pilates, Yoga, Dance, and Prenatal fitness. Each video is around $20, which seems fairly reasonable, considering I usually see them for a lot more.

Honor's Cool-Girl Look Is Incredibly Easy to Wear

Annie Tomlin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:21:12 PST

For her Fall 2012 collection, designer Giovanna Randall was inspired by the love story of a preppy boy and free-spirited Argentinean girl. But when it comes to beauty, the inspiration was decidedly Gallic. Borrowing from French singer and style icon Françoise Hardy, the just-slept-on hair and chalky eye makeup were uncomplicated and cool. See how the look came together, and you'll agree: this is one runway look that anybody can pull off.
