A while back, I wrote an article about how to lose weight. I mentioned how much I dislike the act of jogging. I'm convinced jogging is an evil conspiracy by running shoe companies. Despite my dislike for exercise, I still force myself to do it. It's not easy but it helps me focus and keep my thoughts on track. 

One of the most irritating things about working out is that it causes

I usually debate on how a certain makeup, hair style or outfit looks on a celeb in Yay or Nay. This time, however, I don't think it should even be up for discussion. I'll say it now: Kelly Osbourne is killing it in this cover for the magazine Glamholic. Seriously, she's even workin' those lilac locks

Here's where I take issue though: she...

Lately, I've been feeling all sorts of summery; fun, colourful and crazy. Ok, that's not exactly a feeling but you know what I mean, right? It's that feeling that you can only get in summer time. When the weather is fabulous, the BBQs are delicious and the cottage is calling.

Chicks, I have mentioned this before (I pretty much tell every person I meet this) but I can't tell you enough how much I love a good beard on a man. I would profess my love for beards from the mountain tops if I could. Every man should have a beard. It's always, always, always, better with a beard (in my humble opinion). 

I hope that I'm alone in my beardy love, though I do...

I once heard, and I myself have said this before, that for women, a well cut suit on a man is the equivalent of lingerie on a woman for men. If that's the case, then where the heck have all the dapper men gone? Seriously, can we bring back pocket squares, cufflinks and fedoras that don't look awful? 


Now, here is a man who knows how to wear a suit!

Oh, bathing suit season. Ugh. Swimsuit shopping is pretty much the most cringe worthy thing in the world, am I right? Seeing my pale body for the first time in months in the store's fluorescent lighting and having to constantly take off and put on my clothes seriously puts me in a cranky mood. Are you with me chicks?

While I can't magically give you the tanned body of a Brazilian supermodel...

When a beauty product is endorsed by Cleopatra herself, you know it's going to be good. Which is why I'm anticipating this edition of Beauty Detective where I'm investigating... Milk! Sounds more farm detective than beauty detective but milk used as a toner or in a bath has been a beauty secret of women for a long time. Queen Elizabeth...

Miley, Miley, Miley. I don't even know where to begin. I'm going to try and set aside my personal feelings about Miley Cyrus for this one. With all the controversy surrounding pretty much every single move she makes, it's hard to keep focused on the subject at hand: her dress. Take a gander and let's discuss it, shall we?

Here is my advice to Miley: cover up. 

I know...
