Jaime Pressly Brings J'aime to LA Fashion Week
Jaime Pressly's line of knitwear, J'aime, is two years old but last night she debuted her newly expanded contemporary collection at LA Fashion Week. The runway show and party, which benefited St. Jude, was clearly a proud moment for the actress who was beaming all night long.
Introducing Elwood: The World's Ugliest Dog
The Sonoma Marin World's Ugliest Dog Contest 2007 was held this past Friday, and the winner is Elwood, a Chinese Crested with "lots of personality." With a face that looks like it was drawn by Picasso in his "drunk period," Elwood even makes snorting noises! The people who love these fug dogs are pretty adorable.
2007 SXSW Music Fest: I'm Already Overwhelmed
I'm not even in Austin for the South by Southwest Music Festival this year (but oh how I wish I were), and I'm still overwhelmed by the surplus of amazing bands taking the stage at any given moment.
Today marks the kickoff of the music (and most major) portion of this multimedia bonanza, which is known for breaking new indie acts. On day one alone, there'll be performances by Cyann & Ben, Rosie Thomas, Loney Dear, The Mountain Goats, Blonde Redhead, The Pipettes, The Rapture, and Peter Bjorn & John.
Take the Fit Pledge!
It's never too late to take The Fit Pledge to “Lose to Live in 2007.”
The fit pledge is a health awareness campaign hosted by the Inner City Purpose Network (ICPN) that aims to bring a national awareness to the number of people who annually dare themselves to lose weight, or discontinue vices that lead to poor health. The Pledge is meant to challenge Americans to document the progress of their pledge and share how the experience changed their lives through a web-based community as well as encourage Americans to implement a lifestyle change through a health-driven weight loss program (balanced diet and exercise).

As some of you may know we are a little giddy about the Oscars tomorrow. It's Hollywood's biggest night of the year and we wanted to make it just as exciting for all of you watching at home. We're dressing up, opening some wine and cooking the same food the stars are eating so join us at our party.
Screen Tests
Did you know that after the age of 40, it is recommended that you get a mammogram every 1-2 years? Or that you should think about getting a Cholesterol Test at the age of 20?
Being a woman can be confusing so luckily WomensHealth.org has created a chart that lists recommended screenings and immunizations for women at average risk for most diseases.
Future Predictions
So we've just about reached the end of the year and it seems everyone is putting together year-end lists. PopSugar has Favorite Celebrity Moms, BuzzSugar has Top Albums and the folks at Epicurious have put together a list of 2006 food trends. Their list includes honey, steakhouses, Southern cuisine and better mixed drinks.
2007 Resolutions: Be Realistic
Is your New Year's Resolution to work out more?
Here's a good idea: Try adding a bit more to what you are already doing, instead of trying to incorporate a complete work out overhaul. Do something as simple as adding just a few minutes to your work out.
And the 2007 Health and Fitness Trends Are . . .
A survey taken by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has revealed the trends in commercial, corporate, clinical, and community fitness program environments. So if you're one of those who wants to be ahead of the trends (fitness and otherwise) here they are:
