  • Women Entrepreneur’s Who Rock/Dishin’ with DoB

    By: Stacey Pashcow Inspire and Empower: Getting down to the Core When a friend told me about a new workout place from LA, now a New York outpost called SLT (acronym for Strengthen, Lengthen, Tone) I was intrigued. Tell me more I said…after all who doesn't need to strengthen, lengthen, tone? When you go to the website (sltnyc.com) it says IF CARDIO, STRENGTH TRAINING And PILATES HAD A BABY, the powerful hybrid would be named SLT. I recently tried it and they couldn't be more right. ...

  • “Squash the Carbs Out of Pasta”

    By: Toni Cruthirds ©iStockphoto.comcislander Now that the indulgences of Thanksgiving are behind us, it's time to get back on track with healthy yet still delicious options. Winter squash is a great find at the farmer's markets this time of year, and one lesser thought of member of this family is spaghetti squash. It is a notoriously healthier alternative to pasta, and is just scrumptious with the right combo of seasoning. Whether it's topped with Giada De Laurentiis's healthy Turkey Bolognese or yourfavorite marinara, a healthy sauce will turn a heavy "don't" into a lean and mean "do". ...

  • Thanksgiving Leftover Lovin’

    By: Elyssa Goodman Photo Credit innercitystate.wordpress.com Ah, Thanksgiving: nosy relatives wondering why you're still single, prying yourself out of bed at 6am to buy your niece a sweater on Black Friday, and-perhaps the true saving grace-leftovers. Leftovers are the one thing you can count on during Thanksgiving. They won't ask you who you're dating; they won't make you find a parking space at the mall; they'll just be there and be delicious-maybe even more delicious than they were the first time. No man can promise that. ...

  • Lashes 101

    By: Lori Hamlin There is nothing more feminine and alluring than the flutter of flirty lashes. As a makeup artist, I find that no look is complete without adding a bit of fringe. There is no other product that elicits more oohs and ahhs, and instantly changes the appearance, and personality, of any girl who wears them. Leave your fear at the door because they are a lot easier to apply than you may believe. ...

  • Make 2011 the Year of the Thanksgiving Chicken

    By: Heidi Brod It's Thanksgiving. We're all scouring the web looking for a recipe for the most succulent bird. A typical Thanksgiving meal includes sweet potato pie with a side of crazy, turkey topped with family dysfunction and inappropriate innuendo that even makes the kids table blush. So if you're looking for something to derail the conversation from going a fowl, try chicken. If you're having a smaller soiree it's the perfect remedy to a big bird that's always dry. You're always stuck with the Turkey Tupperware party for weeks after. ...

  • Pear-Stuffed French Toast

    By: Christy Purington Photo Credit MarthaStewart.com Newsflash: Going to out to an expensive weekend brunch with your girlfriends is so passé.

This recipe is rich without being heavy, and will become a quick substitute for your been-there-done-that traditional French Toast.

  • When the Carbs Hit Your Thigh like a Big Pizza Pie, Anjou A-more-A

    Lanky, twiggy, weedy, gangly. I have been called them all. Yes, I may sound like a skinny complainer, but even thin girls have body issues. My chest missed the boat on puberty, and after large dinners my food baby rivals that of an actual pregnant woman. I thought I had tackled weight gain until my aggressive eating caused a deflection. The delay hit when I was being measured for a casting in my Calvin Klein underwear. The woman measuring my tight end announced I was "too big." I laughed, then put down the potato chips. ...

  • Meditation Media – Ohm on the Go

    By: Jenny Beres ©iStockphoto.com/Topalov If you find yourself regularly repeating stressful to-do lists instead of soothing mantras, it might be time to turn off the brain and turn on that iPod.

  • Haunting Beauty

    By: Jill Carlen I have always been inspired by a little drama, so the new vampy trends in makeup are right up my runway. Sadly, in my attempt at a throwback to my high school days of channeling Robert Smith of The Cure circa 1987, I end up looking a little ill. So I asked my besty who just happens to be a lead makeup artist for MAC what to do to add some glam to my Goth-like uniform of dark sweaters and black boots. "I need a dose of sophisticated mystery to inspire my work day wardrobe", I cry in despair. ...

  • Wholey Wellness Club! Whole Foods Market Tribeca

    By: Jon Paul Buchmeyer When my fiancé announced to me last January that as part of his new chef job at Whole Foods Market we would begin eating mostly vegan, I winced. "So we'll be eating sticks and rocks?" I worried. After all, one of the benefits of living with a trained culinary professional is a delectable home cooked meal. Vegan sounded draconian, not delicious. But with his next words, he captured my imagination. "According to the doctor who developed the program, your body will find its natural weight," he said. Here's the deal: I've battled weight issues my entire life. ...

    By: Jill Carlen istockphoto.com/okeaWith legging season lurking around the corner, I realize there are a lot of important tasks to take care of.

  • Glow and Shine, Oh Apples Divine!

    By: Jill Carlen Every year my family and I excitedly make the trip to a nearby orchard to pick our own apples. The smell of the crisp fall air and the anticipation of the sight of the strong army of trees full of brightly colored gems evoke such a feeling of hope and possibility I'm beside myself. I can't wait to pull out my boots and chunky sweaters! As we cruise along the highway enjoying the sweeping sea of oranges and reds, I grin into the sunlight. Then I catch a reflection of myself in the rearview mirror and wonder why I look like I've been hit in the face with a sack of flour. ...
