Monday is May 1st. That scares us. But at the same time, that means
that summer is almost here, and we can look forward to cutting work and
going to the beach.

WHY WE LOVE NEUTROGENA®
Let us introduce you to our favorite springtime secret weapon, the Neutrogena® Advanced Solutions™ Body MicroDermabrasion System. We're so obsessed with this product that we made a list of why we love it oh so much:
1. Makes stressed skin glow and is great for circulation
2. Smoothes rough feet just in time for sandal season
3. Softens stubborn calluses and scratchy elbows
4. Diminishes age-telling sun damage on neck and chest
5. Reduces the dimpled skin on our tummy and thighs

BEAUTY AND THE BEACH BALL
Gwyneth Paltrow must be counting her lucky macrobiotic stars. It's been just over a week since baby Moses was born, and already she's out looking svelte and flushed with a healthy, motherly glow. Perhaps Gwyneth should pass on some health tips to people like the beloved, but horizontally hefty, Mario Batali. The genius chef is either sampling one too many bowls of risotto, or channeling Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior . Molto Mario is currently sporting a majorly rotund tummy and a flushed face (think: mid-labor sweats) that read more pregnancy than Prego. We would suggest skipping the sausages and spaghetti, but we're not sure that carb-loving Batali would consider Gwynnie's Flounder with Miso Sauce how shall we put it, filling.

#3. You have to look as though it is a pose, and not a general calisthenic stretch.
#4. You must stick with it and make it your own. Don't start working on new moves (photo #4) unless your current work has been vetted for at least 3 consecutive weeks in the tabs.

A RHYMING SHAME
We were praying that Kevin Federline's foray into the music industry was a fluke, a way of fooling himself into thinking that he is capable of doing something other than spending ciggie-filled evenings out with his posse. But K-Fed is taking his "I really am a star" attitude to the extreme, and for some unearthly reason, club promoters are inviting him to push his sub-par rhymes in public. A little advice to the owners of Pure and other such establishments: let's refrain from encouraging the boy, shall we? Allowing Kevin to perform atrocities such as " Y'all Aint Ready" will only pad his already overblown ego.
