Does anyone remember Helium? It was a very awesome Boston band in the late 90s — think Sleater-Kinney meets Bjork meets the Strokes — whose members included Ash Bowie of Polvo and a girl-crush-worthy lead singer named Mary Timony. Many of us who adored Helium, however, have been a little disappointed with Timony's solo output to date: Mountains was like a bad trip after a Renaissance faire, Read more
We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, The Good Men Project. Today, Agustín Fuentes points out that when it comes to men and women, what "everyone knows" isn’t what science shows. Everyone knows that men and women are really different. We think differently and act differently because we are wired differently. I mean look at our brains and genitals: they are just Read more
Shaun T, the personal trainer who's motivated millions with his at-home workouts, knows how to get people in shape in a short amount of time. After all, his Insanity workout program promises incredible results in just 60 days of sweating and jumping in front of your TV.

We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. This week Shape turns to Cynthia Sass, a registered dietitian with master's degrees in both nutrition science and public health. If you couldn’t let anything cross your lips from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., but you were allowed to eat anything you wanted for eight hours a day and still lose weight, would you try it? Read more
We're happy to present a post from one of our favorite sites, Stylelist Home. Ordinary clothespins become the basis for a stand-out chandelier with this Craft Of The Day. This light fixture, made entirely of clothespins, is a quirky, fun way to add oomph and texture to any room. We think it's a great accent to a living room or bedroom, but it would obviously be fitting in a laundry room too! Keep Read more
We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar! Barre classes may make you easy on the eyes, but at $20 or more a pop, they're definitely not easy on the wallet. Rather than take a second job to pay for our latest fitness addiction, we turned to Beverly Hill-based Cardio Barre instructor Stacey Bosworth to get the inside scoop on scoring a long, lean dancer's body Read more
Our favorite style setters slipped into their chicest Calvin Klein cocktail wear for the label's Women in Film fete last night in Cannes. It's like watching Francisco Costa's collections come to life in a bevy of pastel hues and minimalist cuts as the guests stepped out to celebrate the occasion at Villa St George. Diane Kruger showed off a decidedly feminine shape in a fit-and-flare coral dress Read more

This week, she's sharing her swimsuit Read more
Memorial Day is approaching, and we've got warm weather on the brain, but it's not just about getting in shape for the beach. Hiking is a great cardio and muscle-building workout — and you can burn 180 calories in just 30 minutes. Hiking trails vary in difficulty, yet no matter where you go it's a common sight: once-enthusiastic hikers having to stop halfway through, too exhausted and out of Read more
Summer is fast approaching, and the heat of the season makes the beach a perfect chill spot. The waves and sand are lovely, but not everyone feels completely at ease hanging out in a swimsuit. Maybe you have bikini issues and maybe you don't — regardless, we've teamed up with Shape magazine to get to the heart of the matter. We might just be able to help; we're full of beach tips, beauty Read more
