Hold That Perfect Plank Pose And Tone Entire Midsection

It's all in the plank pose, ladies.

If you are tired and bored, and in pain, from doing all those back-breaking crunches and sit-ups, then get into another position.

If you do yoga, like Jennifer Aniston, and many other body beautiful celebrities, then you know what the plank pose is. And although it looks easy and not really effective, you are so wrong!

If you want to tone up that tummy, along with the other flab above and below it, then you need to plank, because this yoga position zeroes in on the entire midsection. Add some regular push-ups in your routine, and together, you will also firm up your arms. So this is key for women, especially when we all hate the dingle-dangle under the arms.

How To Do It:

1. Begin on your hands and knees, with hands directly under shoulders, keep knees under hips. 2. Move feet back until the legs are straight and you’re balancing on your toes, feet together. 3. Keep the shoulders pulled back and down, with arms straight. 4. Don't let belly sag--contract muscles. This is the Plank Pose.

Hold for 30 seconds, 3 times, with a 30-second rest in between. As you get stronger, hold the plank position for 1 minute, 3 times, with the 30-second rest in between.

Give the plank pose a chance. You WILL see results.

Chanel's New Fall Darling Shade Peridot: Still Not As Great As Vamp?

If you love green and love gold, then Chanel's new 'it' nail shade, Peridot, is for you!

Get it now, ladies. The duo-chrome polish will be the darling of Fall 2011. And it's one of the most unique-colored nail lacquers we've seen in a long time. As New York City manicurist, Jin Soon Choi has said, "It's sophisticated and kind of magical. Like a mix of industrial metal and snakeskin.".

We couldn't have said it better.

You're either going to LOVE this new Chanel Peridot, or HATE it. And at $25 a bottle, we're sure the copy-cats are already out there, but this is one shade that the imitators will have a tough time 'nailing' down, so to speak.

Hey, we are no nail polish expert, but we think that Vamp, was by far, Chanel's best shade that first hit the fashion runway in fall 1994.

Still, we will be watching to see just who is wearing #531 Peridot.

Meantime, we found about 40 listings for Peridot on Ebay today. Check them out here.

The beauty buzz for the new 'it' shade for fall is growing by the hour.

It Pays To Have Great Makeup Artist: Kim Kardashian Taps Mario For Wedding

It's Kim Kardashian's big wedding day!

The Calfornia reality TV star will walk down the aisle this evening, as she weds NBA player Kris Humphries.

There's been tons of talk about the $30 million wedding, the $20,000, 10-tier cake, the 2 Vera Wang wedding gowns, each at $25,000, the 500 invited guests, and so on.

Who knows how much is actially true.

What we do know, is that it pays to have a super-talented, professional makeup artist in Mario Dedivanovic. He is the magic man in our humble opinion. He is the master who transforms the lovely Kim Kardashian into a gorgeous glam beauty, time and time again.

And for her most important moment today, it is Mario, whom Kim has tapped to do her marriage makeup. Check out Mario Dedivanovic's makeup blog here. The guy is a genius artist.

Rarely, do we catch the dark-haired 30-year-old WITHOUT makeup. In fact, Kim K once refused to make a red carpet appearance because her makeup artist forgot to bring along her all-important faux lashes.

But here are a couple of Kim without makeup pics. Still pretty, but lacking the signature glamour punch we all know her by.

We can't wait to see the over-the-top Kim/Kris nuptials!

Tune into E! at 6 PM tmorrow evening for some super Kardashian wedding footage!

New Promising Melanoma Skin Cancer Pill Just Approved By FDA

Here is some encouraging news about skin cancer, and the great strides scientists are making.

The pill is called, Zelboraf, and it goes after the specific gene found in melanoma. And by now, most of us have learned, that melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 68,000 people in the U.S. were diagnosed last year and 8,700 died.

The FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has given the green light to the pill, which is being made by Roche. And it's very good news, because melanoma is a tough cancer to tackle, and there have not been many treatment options for it.

"The FDA's quick action on this drug approval is important because it gives melanoma patients a new way to fight this deadly disease," Timothy Turnham, director of the Melanoma Research Foundation, said in a statement.

Zelboraf zeroes in on a mutated form of the melanoma gene, slowing down tumor growth.

There can be side effects with taking Zelboraf, including--hair loss, joint pain, diarrhea, fatigue and skin rashes.

Roche says the drug will be available in about 2 weeks.

Doll Lashes Big For Fall 2011: Think 'Black Spider'

The Lanvin fall 2011 runway batted long, thick fringe to the adoring crowd, as models showed off doll lashes created with tons and tons of mascara. And that dramatic fringe has made its way to the 'real world,' as a bunch of new, volumizing mascaras make their way on to store shelves.

Think black spider. Think Twiggy. Er...think Kardashian. Yep. Both top and bottom lashes get the full treatment, resulting in a doll-like set of lashes. It's an intense, spider-y look for the eyes.

All you need are 3 beauty items to achieve doll lashes:

1. Eyelash curler.
2. Volumizing black mascara.
3. Eyelash comb.

You need to curl your lashes, ladies. We've talked about this several times before. Curling makes lashes look longer and fuller, and allows your eyes to look bigger.

Next, you need a darn good mascara, one that lets you build layer upon layer. Lancome has just introduced Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara ($25, now at Dillards, and then nationwide this September). It features a cone-shaped brush that lets you fill in all those hard-to-reach lashes. And the formula is fiber-shiny. No clumping---just wonderful jet black mascara that you can layer and layer.

3. The last step is crucial. You need to separate each layer of mascara. The Lancome Hypnose Doll Lash brush is good, but we would also advise investing in a decent, metal eyelash comb. Brush through each mascara coat again and again, on both top and bottom lashes.

Once again, it's very trendy to over-dose on the mascara. What would we do without it?

Doll lashes, here we come!
