Kings finally beat the Oilers in a shootout, 3-2

After having lost their previous five games at home to Edmonton in the format, they prevail in six rounds to give Terry Murray his 100th win as Kings coach.

The Kings ended a peculiar streak against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, going to the sixth round of a sudden-death shootout for a 3-2 victory that goaltender Jonathan Quick sealed with a glove save of an Andrew Cogliano shot.

The Oilers had won their previous five games against the Kings in Staples Center since Dec. 3, 2007, all in shootouts.

But when Jarret Stoll's sixth-round shot got a piece of Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk before dribbling over the line for a goal, and Quick snuffed Cogliano, the Kings snapped that streak and gave Terry Murray his 100th win as Kings coach.

Edmonton's Jordan Eberle and the Kings' Dustin Brown each scored goals in the first three rounds of the shootout, which ended in a 1-1 tie.

The Kings played the final 26 seconds of overtime a man down after taking a penalty for too many men on the ice, and the threesome of Rob Scuderi, Drew Doughty and Michal Handzus barely killed it off.

Quick made one nice save in the final seconds, and Edmonton's Dustin Penner was unable to get his stick on Sam Gagner's pass through the crease as time expired.

The Oilers took a 2-1 lead at the 4:25 mark of the third period when Jean-Francois Jacques re-directed a Theo Peckham shot from the blue line through traffic past Quick for his first goal of the season.

But the Kings countered 20 seconds later when Jack Johnson, who had fallen to his knees in the left faceoff circle, got up in time to take a pass from Wayne Simmonds and fire a wrist shot past Dubnyk for a 2-2 tie.

Both teams scored power-play goals in the second period, the Oilers taking a 1-0 lead on Taylor Hall's wrist shot from the left side that slipped under Quick's right pad at the 1:39 mark, and the Kings evening the score on Justin Williams' goal at the 8:31 mark.

How rare was the 11th goal of the season by Hall, the 19-year-old whiz kid of a winger who was the first overall pick in the 2010 draft?

The Kings had allowed only two power-play goals in 50 tries in their first 14 home games, a 96% penalty-kill rate that was the best home mark in the NHL, and they successfully fought off another penalty in the first.

But a hooking infraction by the Kings' Michal Handzus gave Edmonton a man-advantage at the 1:22 mark of the second, and the Oilers capitalized with Hall's shot from the left circle.

A high-sticking penalty by Edmonton's Linus Omark gave the Kings a power play at the 7:42 mark of the second.

The Kings took advantage with Williams' 13th goal, which was set up by Handzus, who took a pass from Johnson at the blue line and flicked the puck to Williams driving down the left side.

Williams shielded Ladislav Smid with his body and beat Dubnyk glove-side with a wrist shot for a 1-1 tie and his 30th point in his 33rd game this season.

Williams had 29 points in 49 games last season.

Johnson recorded his 13th power-play assist of the season, and Handzus' assist was his fourth in the last five games.

The Kings caught a break later in the period when the Oilers' Magnus Paajarvi took a pass from Penner in the crease, but Paajarvi's point-blank shot hit the post, and Quick covered up with 6:25 left in the period.

Play was a little ragged in a scoreless first period marked by incomplete passes, pucks bouncing off skates and a feisty scrap between Kings winger Kyle Clifford and Peckham, who each got a few good shots in before Peckham dragged Clifford to the ice.

It took a little more than seven minutes for Edmonton to register its first shot on goal in the game.

The Kings weren't exactly peppering the Oilers' net either, with nine shots in the period compared to six for Edmonton.

The Kings got a scare with about 31/2 minutes left in the first, when Scuderi got smacked in the face by Tom Gilbert's stick as he fell to the ice next to his net.

Scuderi crashed into the boards and was slow to get up, but he managed to skate to the Kings bench and returned to action and took his regular shifts in the second and third periods.

Why Most Shampoos are a Waste of Money

It’s the dirty little secret shampoo companies don’t want you to know—when you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product don’t actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drain… along with all the money you spent on the shampoo.
Why does this happen? Because the shampoo molecules they contain are too large to penetrate the cells of hair and more importantly the tiny hair follicles where our hair actually grows. They sit atop the follicle until we wash them away.
Why is that a problem? Think about it this way—if you wanted to fertilize a plant, where would you pour the fertilizer? On the leaves? Of course not! You’d pour the fertilizer on the root and the soil where it’s needed most. Our hair works basically the same way—if you want to treat your hair right, you need to treat the roots.
But if regular shampoo can’t penetrate the hair follicles where our roots grow, what are we supposed to do?
Fortunately, a California company called Kronos decided to tackle this problem. Their team of researchers designed a more-effective shampoo—one that contains tiny microscopic spheres so small that they penetrate hair follicles and deliver nutrients to where they’re needed most.  They call it “T-Sfere Technology”.
Once they had solved the delivery method dilemma, they turned their attention to formulating ingredients that targetted the 5 most significant signs of damaged hair:

1. Thinning hair that lacks volume
2. Dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair
3. Limp lackluster hair
4. Damaged hair with split ends
5. Hair with poor color retention

Does it work? Check out the results from the product’s clinical testing. In a recent study, the Kronos system was shown boost hair volume and body by an unprecedented 96%; increase hair hydration by 91%; improve luster and shine by 96%; reduce split ends and breakage by 96%; and virtually eliminate color fading for up to four weeks. It’s rare that a shampoo can provide so many amazing benefits.
Already, Kronos has quickly become one of the most talked about hair care systems out there. It was recently featured on the Today show and was rated the #1 Overnight Hair Treatment product by The Good Housekeeping Institute.
Since Kronos is still relatively new, the company is offering a limited amount of free trials of its 4-piece introductory kit, just so new customers can see the results for themselves before deciding whether or not they want to pay for their products.
The special trial includes a full, 60-day supply of four products that each feature the line's key ingredient complexes and delivery technology: Kronos Shampoo, Kronos Conditioner, the Phyx Overnight Repair Masque that repairs damaged hair while you sleep, and the Liquid Theory Conditioning Detangler that protects hair from thermal damage due to heat styling.
If you want to try this new way to shampoo, visit the Kronos website to see if these special Internet free trials are still being offered.

SUN-KISS ME QUICK
'To create a natural sun-kissed look, use a light bronzer all over the face first, then a slightly darker one on the forehead, nose and chin. A pinky-gold colour is best for fair skin, golden bronze for medium and golden red for dark complexions.'

MISMATCH OF THE DAY
'When it comes to nail colours I think matching fingers and toes is a bit naff. Instead, think of it as having virgin’s hands and tart’s feet. Keep it nice and neutral up the top, but have fun with colour down below – the brighter and bolder the better.’
Iris Chapple - Mavala
NAIL IT
'Get the most out of nail varnish by preparing your nails first: scrub them with a nail brush in warm water with a soap-free cleanser. This will ensure a clean surface, free of any traces of a nail-varnish remover or natural oils, which can lift your varnish. It will last an extra few days.'
Emma Cox - Jessica Nails
IN A FRIZZ
'When the weather's humid it's tempting to overstyle hair with hairdryers and straighteners. Instead, opt for low-maintenance curls or updos, which are much more suitable for summer and easy to maintain.'
Nick Malenko - Royston Blythe at the Dorchester
A SALINE SOLOUTION
'Have you ever noticed how spotty skin seems much clearer after swimming in the sea? To recreate the effect at home try soaking a towel in comfortably hot salt water, then lay it on the spotty area for 10 minutes or so. This should clarify skin on the face, chest and back.'

BRIGHT EYES
'To conceal dark under-eye circles properly, you'll need two products. First, correct the dark blue tones with a pink-toned concealer. Then use a yellow-toned concealer over the top, to lighten the darkness and make the area the same colour as the rest of your face.'

When Plane Crashes Into Volvo CX60,See What Happened...

Many buy their SUVs for greater safety, but certainly nobody has yet thought how would look like a collision between a Volvo XC60 and a small plane.

Volvo XC60 is one of the safest cars on the market, many airbags and active and passive systems making their job in most cases. Even so, nobody have imagined yet how the Swedish SUV would act if he would hit an airplane. Is this car worthy of all the stars it received at the EuroNCAP tests?

Fortunately collision was not with a Boeing or Airbus aircraft but with a small plane, a Cessna. The small plane was performing a landing maneuver while the pilot lost control and deviated to a secondary runway and hit the Volvo XC60 from the side which was parked. The Volvo, famous for its safety has received the sot well, and none of the occupants had suffered any injuries.

The plane burst into flames but the pilot suffered minor burns to the legs and face. But in the end everyone can say that he escaped safely from a very bizarre accident, you do not have the chance to see every day.

OK,Volvo CX60,I wanner got you soon....

Men fall for this constant manipulation. know, in fact, but only rarely that they were caught in the canvas with the beauty of a woman. Of course, know that outer beauty is fascinating, but it is the inner beauty that does not know. The pursed lips, bright eyes, the soft laugh. The power play of the boardroom and bedroom share many similarities.

It can not be beautiful if you do not want to be beautiful Healthy So. But how can a true beauty inside and out to achieve? The first step of true beauty is really very simple. Thus, beautiful on the outside, make sure that you are beautiful and healthy inside. It is therefore important to take care of the physical health of the body, your internal health, with his mind and his inner self.

But make sure they are realistic. You can not reach the outer beauty, if your goal is simply look much nicer.

True beauty comes with an external sense of self-acceptance, a spirit of true peace and a lack of obsession with physical appearance. It can not be beautiful if they are obsessed with being beautiful. If you try to use and follow all the beauty tips that you found or was told succeed him to be beautiful, you go straight you crazy in the attempt to achieve beauty.

be obsession with the beauty of the company is based on the superficial basis, and they are beautiful and healthy tend to notice so many times.

The development of an obsession for perfection or damage the physical and mental, sometimes to the point of no return.

Acceptance of differences and that of others around you is the key to healthy, happy and beautiful. But one can not assume if they owned their differences and the differences in the negative.

If your nose is too big or too small to detect, makes the difference who you are. If you feel very serious or too thin , you recognize that you are who you are. Try to live simply, as healthy as possible, and do not care about others. If you are overweight, healthy lifestyle, eating well, getting enough rest and do miracles, and eventually found his body in the sense of weight, it should be.

Easy Rules For Fitness Girls

Health and fitness are generally made to appear complex.
If you read a lot of fitness magazines and blogs (as I often do), says youre a confusing picture of complex printed circuit boards. Dizzy.
Youre said eggs, butter and meat is bad for you. Then another people will tell you the same things that are really good. Then you hear is going well for you and the club and the audience laughs longest primary route. You will learn that weight lifting is the best way to get fit, and laugh about it. You will hear one million variants of the best workouts of the time of feeding, as your periodized training on how to measure fitness, you need to take supplements ad naseum.
Its enough to want to quit you.
Fortunately, not the room to be complicated.
In fact, you can reduce it to two simple rules: Get your body moving regularly and Eat a moderate amount of roots, Whole Foods (with occasional treats.)
I think if you set two rules, and stuck with them for a while, you get in shape. Make a will but not the others lead to better health for many people (not all), but it would be incomplete health.  The two days of the week and you're on your way to health and fitness.
But what the exact reasons for the macro nutrients (fancy way was to say, the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates and fat)? What about eating frequency and timing? What frequency is divided on the training calendar delegates, and more? You can add all kinds of rules and many others, but the truth is that all the complexity often a way to hide a few simple truths: If you want to lose weight or you need a caloric deficit, and if you want to build muscle You need to step up the exercise. The other assumption is generally, and during this complex programs that are likely to work, work that often, because they favor one or more of the principles in this post is not its complexity.
These two rules are all that is needed, but most of us a little more, so heres just broader competency standards. As always remember it, not that one) I am an expert in a material that should be for me to work 2) It is for healthy adults and people with health problems is to seek the advice of experts.

1st Move. Try some kind of physical activity most days of the week to make (4 days or more if possible). If you have an aversion to exercise, do not think that exercise. Just think of it as a way to move your body, entertaining way. He can dance, gardening, hiking, a walk through nature, swimming, basketball, rugby, cycling, even if to do your homework, have sufficient energy. And it must be the same every day. I recommend, for simplicity, a regular interval of time that you need to do your daily activities, on most days of the week. I prefer the morning, but others enjoy lunch or after work.
2nd Enjoy. What can select whatever you activity, it should be fun. If you do not like to move on. Focus on the fun, not the hard part. Or learn to like myself, enjoy life difficult! Again, please, or you do not follow so long. To ensure that it is not too hard, Easy Start. Concentrate on moving to the simple fact and enjoy the activity. Start small and build with small steps.
3rd Slowly add intensity. Once you have done an activity for some time, and you're in good shape, it is good to add some intensity. But by and by, when one adds to the intensity too quickly you'll risk injury or burnout. So let's say you have a walk for a few months you should be ready some brisk walking or running intervals to add something small. If you were to try some intervals faster (take it easy at the beginning) or a training hill. If you already training a force, do not forget to add weight (without risk) or decrease the rest time or add more repetitions or sets. If you play sports, things really speed up, or focus on explosive movements. Intensity is a great way to get fit and have an effective workout in just 20-30 minutes. Here sag REAT way to the body weight exercises with strength: a range of body weight exercises (eg pumps, pull-ups, squats, Burpee, Hindu push-ups, lunges, etc.) and not many Circuits possible in 10 or 15 minutes. The following year, to see if you can do several circuits. Its great!
4th Minimum PC. There are a million different fitness equipment out there in AB elliptical machines at a variety of weight machines gym. My rule: Keep it simple is. You can do amazing things with a body weight exercises, in fact, if you are a beginner in the relationship, you should start with body weight exercises for at least six months before moving to weight. You need not be only cardio equipment and walk, run, bike, mountain biking, climbing stairs sprint. Even if one weights, a bar or dumbbells to do everything you need to stay away from machines that work the body in a corner of its intention not to use (even if the machines are not Arent cable). Same go do better, sprints, climbing pump, jump over things, picking up stones and throw them high,  pull-ups on a tree, rock, swim, crab or monkey walk not a hammer or pick and click on the floor, flipping tractor tires and generally get a great workout with very little equipment.
5th Only a few years. Bodybuilding routines are 3-4 different exercises per body part. It is too complicated for most people. Keep it simple in the gym: squats, dead lift, press, dominated or pull-ups, rows. You can do a lot with just the elevators do. Of course, one might mix with some fluctuations over time, but do not have 10 years or things that focus on the posterior deltoid or use Swiss balls. If you make the body weight exercises, like I do things like push-ups that Burpee, squats, lunges, pull ups, dips, planks. Select one or a few rounds with little rest.
6th Eat real food. One of the most important rules here, because if you do not eat well (most of the time), no matter how much exercise you do, you grow and unhealthy. Objective truth, all the food that is closest to its natural state as possible. This means, stay away from treatment, refined, fatty foods and sugary. Vegetables, fruits, lean meats, dairy products, nuts, legumes, whole grains, eggs, cereals. Prepare for convenience products are often ingredients are added, and excess salt, fat, sugar and preservatives. If you follow this plan with contributions of more plant foods in the diet of hard to go wrong.
7th Eat less. Most people eat too much, and finally took the form of fat. To lose fat, you need to eat less really is that simple. Of course, if you real food to eat earlier, you are likely to consume fewer calories, but his chip to the amount you eat together to reduce, at least at a healthy level of body fat (and then release you should not). One solution is to eat slowly and deliberately, if only you satisfied (filled). Another way is to eat small meals and to see the room. A third possibility, I experimented with in these days is intermittent fasting (see Brad Pilon Eat Stop Eat e-book for a great explanation of the science behind the fast). But You do, make sure you eat real food in moderate quantities, and reduce your intake of calories, if you want to lose fat.
8th Give him time. That makes a lot of people want to see results immediately, in the first month, or because they do reading magazines it seem instantly. But the real skill is rare in this way, it is a process and a change of lifestyle. I started very bad, really overweight, and everything I had at the start, stop smoking and start running. A year later, I ran a marathon and was a vegetarian, but I was a bit much. A year later, I still have a sport, and had made great progress but still a long way to go. Now 3.5 years later I am much leaner and more muscular and healthy, but I have some stubborn fat belly, I work. GE Disease No, but I accepted the fact that it takes time. You do not get fat overnight, and you do not miss not in this way. Learn to enjoy the process and enjoy the activities, enjoy healthy food, real, and you get fit and healthy, almost as an afterthought to this amazing new lifestyle.

Ten Fashion College Tips to Reduce Stress and Enjoy Your First Semester

Go to college for the first time is exciting but can also be exhausting. And if you go to a public university, Ivy League school or a fashion that the first semester, most of all his stress. But fear not, because you can not only survive thrive, but, in his first term - and during his academic career. Here are tips from a ten to start Fashion College on the road to success, no matter where you go to school.

1. Make new friends. Try to meet as many people as you can in your classes. Smile and say hello to students sitting around you. Break the ice by asking them about a lecture or reading assignment. And exchange e-mail addresses with them so you can contact them for notes if you have to miss a class.
2. Get to know your teachers. To get over any intimidation about college instructors, meet them one on one in office hours. The more relaxed atmosphere of office hours is a great way to find out more about their academic and professional interests, and they get to know you better, too. Also, fashion school instructors typically are working professionals with industry ties, which can prove to be helpful when it comes time for you to find a job.
3. Know you're not alone. Who doesn't feel overwhelmed when they start college? New classes, new city, new roommates - it's a lot to take in. But if you're prepared for the fact that you will feel crazed those first few months, you'll be better able to handle it. And knowing that everyone feels the same way you do just makes it a little easier.
4. Keep in touch with old ones. Thanks to social networking sites like Facebook, it's easy to stay in touch with your old high school friends. Doing so makes the transition to a new college a lot easier, because you don't feel like you're suddenly cut off from everyone. Also, you can share stories and advice about adjusting to your new situations.
5. Get organized. The good news is that in college, parents and teachers aren't breathing down your neck telling you to do your homework and get to classes on time. But that's also the bad news. Now you have to be responsible for it all yourself. Get yourself some kind of organizer - a datebook, a PDA, even a big wall calendar, and use it to keep track of all your assignments and exams. (It feels good to cross things off, too.)
6. Don't procrastinate. Time flies by that first semester. Keep on top of reading and assignments because before you know it, it's time for exams. Falling one week behind can turn into two weeks, then three. Sticking to deadlines will take so much stress off of you.
7. Visit the Career Center. It's surprising that many students don't even think about the Career Center until they're ready to graduate. In fashion college, students are encouraged to visit the Career Center as soon as they start college, so they know what opportunities await them. It's highly motivating for your studies when you have a dream career in mind.
8. Get involved in school. When you go to a new school, you can feel isolated, like you don't belong anywhere.

Hey,think what are you doing here?

It is only right to come here with his dream. It is as pure as water, trusting as a child, and full of passion, as she did. It is not belong to anyone. It is itself. But it is not longer. She is now at the top of the world, is lost. It belongs to no one, it is --- arrogant, too confident, full of hatred. Maybe. Why? What the hell women want? Just what in the hell wants the world? Thus, the evolution! Vanity? Pride? the dark corner ------ includes degenerative stars.

Awareness as a demon, suddenly afraid. Forgiveness is to be expected. She cries, but could not forgive himself. Loser --- what the name is already defined. Can they return to their glory again? You have to find. Home, their parents begin to help ------- a place where you can find it through love and faith. Yes, as expected, like a queen ---- is marketed with the help of friends and support his family. Meghna Mathur is ---- with Priyanka Chopra in the film and fashion.

The difference between humans and animals are often people make mistakes and then try to find a way to correct mistakes. And I ask you this value.
What is the nature of man? Are we humans alone? Come and see.

No one can replace Michael Jordan in basketball history. Even Kobe Bryant, a new star in the NBA, it can not. But this does not mean that there are similarities between them. They love the game ---- everyone loves playing in Las Vegas. Both are in love. And she used to sit in the yard. Playboys in the United States often women for their crime of rape or the love of the children are free. There is no news for fans of the NBA, but it is really new, and sometimes the news of this scandal really hurt their fans. The court, which right and justice, the court of the other is to play basketball for your heroes. Funny, is not it? When Jordan first American court by the love of his son, his fans initially charged surprised or angry, so that they understand and accept. After all, it is only human. And people make mistakes. And then Kobe NBA man commits the same error. He was luckier than most, is their love story is not love, and children.

World Cup: If Diego Maradona, the King of football, was in court, became known as the father of a child --- the love of children worldwide. I remember another football star. David Beckham, now a father of three children, is satisfactory. While not as perfect, which is welcome to be a good father and husband.

Golf: Tiger Woods is really a genius. Her talent for tennis was a gift from God. It is the largest in the Gulf of our time. It creates its history and development of the history of golf. He also made an additional gift to their fans: 120 women affairs with more or less. Elin Nordegren decides to divorce his wife.
Expected.

NFL: Six times! A great honor! On the 43rd NFL Super Cup, the Big Ben Roethlisberger, QB of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and their fighters, the year he won back the throne. The fans wearing cheap nfl jerseys and jumped thrown joy their hats in the air have embraced and cried. It was very emotional and excited.
The victory was our hero too excited to be controlled. I could not wait to share their success and happiness with a woman. And then he was asked about this victory in court together --- --- for his crime of rape. Finally, he escaped. The absence of evidence set him free. But what do you do? Perhaps the question to his boss and his friends are dying to ask him, wicked or something.

Hollywood: a secret makes a woman a woman. It is true. But if a man knows his secret? See what women want with Mel Gibson. And if you do this, you need a lover like Mel Gibson ---- Robyn a perfect man in the film and is used for a good husband. But now, fifty years, Mel Gibson falls in love with another woman. Yes, every man and woman problems in all marriages, however, is the reason for the divorce? Perhaps it is sometimes. Most are not.

Relax! No offense! I know there are some female stars are not fashionable. Britney Spears still with her Herve Leger dress in all types of party.is known as a hot nail, and she is a woman of many experiences ---- Drugs, divorce, financial crisis. It is almost ruined his career.
So what? Hollywood is a place where not seen similar scandals, the light of day until the disclosure of certain someone on a secret.

The world is funny, interesting, challenging, difficult and demanding. Sometimes we have to open our heart and the senses. Only thus can we understand the people around us or like us, and then know who you are. Everyone makes mistakes. If the error is unforgivable, because the error is a crime, they must be punished, if the error can be forgiven, then tried to apologize and correct it as soon as possible. Because the only way to be forgiven. Only if people can forgive and forget the pain to make a new start in life. Then they are like you ---- have a dream, work hard and be safe and full of energy and passion.

The fallen angel, if your wings are broken, you can fly with your hearts.

Mariah Carey is an orange glow uneven Golden Globes

Awards last night in the Golden Globe, Mariah Carey enviable assets suspend Herve Leger dress with Chopard Diamond accessories, hair and makeup chic elegance. Unfortunately the team to beat prices have become red carpet faux pas, because a small accident beauty instead of choosing a soft golden glow for the night, the stars exaggerated artificial tanning and ends looks like Oompa Loompa orange. To make matters worse, the tan is applied unevenly, looking fat, especially in the poor, where light skin visible.This bands are not the first time the diva had a price dysfunction.

Real Wedding Inspiration from South Africa and a Fairytale Wedding Dress...

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Natasha Du Preez, an award winning South African Wedding Photographer ~ "We are photographers from South Africa, but moving to Australia at the end of 2010. This wedding is really a stunner and it would be great if you can feature it..."

So have a look I did. And swoon I did, and email Natasha right back saying "I'd LOVE too!!" I did too.

Because it doesn't matter where you are from in the world ~ the love in inspirational photography such as this transcends languages, locations and pretty much everything.

"Fairytale, dreamy, mystique … these are just a few words that come to mind describing Tiaan & Elita’s wedding. From Elita’s wedding dress which was designed by Marianne Fassler, one of South Africa’s best and most well known fashion designers, to the finest detail like the heart baskets for the little flower girls, their beautiful dresses by Sibella and a handsome groom, this wedding was well thought out and planned."
Enjoy and be inspired...

"With the first sight of Elita’s beautiful dress, her bridesmaids and flower girls dresses, I had this huge urge to start photographing immediately. We knew this shoot was going to be a killer and shy Elita blossomed in front of the camera. First thing that came to my mind when I saw Tiaan before the ceremony was boy oh boy you don’t know what vision is waiting for you."

The venue was Chez Charlene, located in Pretoria, South Africa...

The Best Ten Fashion Magazines in the World

Fashion magazines are a necessary item in the life of any fashionista. There are many of them all around the World, focused in many different types of public, but which of them are the best right now? 

When I mean "the best", I mean the ones all fashionistas would not want to miss an edition. 

What ones supermodels would like to cover, or just have their faces stamped in their pages? 

What fashion magazine people are constantly talking about, and has the power to change what is going on in the fashion business?

After reading a brazilian website which was suppose to number the best fashion magazines in the World, but managed to forget some of the most important, I decided to make my own version of the "It" magazines in the fashion business. 


10. Flaunt 
Started as a luxury magazine and over the years it became more focused in lifestyle, fashion and arts. Flaunt is an independent American magazine, which is a must have for those which fashion is just a part of their well informed lifestyle. 

It has great editorials (as all main fashion magazines do), great covers and always some hype celebrities in unique interviews (plus photos!). 



9. Dazed and Confused 
Young, Innovative and groundbreaking, Dazed and Confused is a british magazine created by Jefferson Hack, one of the most important fashionistas in the british fashion scene. He has been chosen many times by the Vanity Fair magazine as one of the most elegant people, and also is the creator of the extinguished cult magazine "the Face". 

So with someone so important behind of Dazed and Confused, you could not expect anything less than a great fashion magazine... But it is not really a fashion magazine! It is much more about general art and music, with a little bit of fashion. 

Even not being really a fashion magazine, it is still one of the most influential in the fashion business, featuring always great editorials, and a lot of what is going on in popular culture. 

I would say Dazed and Confused is almost a hipster magazine. There are just so much about underground art and life style that would make any young Londoner or New Yorker satisfied. 


8. Tank 
I must say that, even though I lived in the UK for two years, I never saw or heard about the Tank Magazine. As a model, I was dealing all the time with the fashion Londoners, so it is not that I was not in the right place and the right time. 

Anyway, it does not change that the Tank magazine is one of the most important and pioneering fashion magazines in the World... and unfortunately I only found that out through random fonts (so I did not have my own copy to look through yet!). 

By looking at their blog and website, I can see that the magazine is made by super well informed fashionistas. In more than ten years of existence, they always kept pushing originality and the best of fashion. Some even say they published Nathalia Vodianova on the cover before she was famous! That shows how visionary is the team behind Tank. 



7. AnOther Magazine 
The "about us" in their website says everything: "AnOther Magazine's launch in 2001 heralded a new chapter in magazine publishing. Its blend of high fashion and world-class photography with features on the arts, politics and literature continues to make each beautifully crafted edition a collectors’ item." 

The magazine comes out only twice a year and it is expensive! It also has a version for men called "Another Man". I would say this is one for the high class fashionistas. Those who go to all hype expensive events in town. The VIP's! 

Well... not really! 

It is also for everyone that enjoys beautiful photography. It is fully filled with beautiful pictures in a great size. Editorials with the highest ranked supermodels of the moment, great innovative photographers and posh styling. If you want to see beautiful fashion and know what is going on between the high class fashionistas, AnOther Magazine is your magazine. 


6. Love 
It must be the fashion magazine most talked about in the World right now. The new creation of Kate Grand, which is also the founder of the other great fashion magazine "Pop", only has three issues out, and shaked the whole World of fashion... and not fashion! 

First of all with Bette Ditto on the cover of their first issue. Featuring a large woman, instead of a skinny top model is really brilliant and unexpected from such magazine. 

In the third issue, they strike again! Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Naomi Campbel between 8 beauties with different body shapes, totally naked on the cover. Obviously newspapers and fashion information points in the World had to publish a comment about it! Including the british "the guardian" and the Vogue magazine itself! 

If you like it or not, Love magazine is the one to keep the eye on right now. A must have item for who likes fashion, made by a great team of fashion addicts trying their best to change this business to better. 

5. V Magazine 
I would say V is the greatest American fashion magazine that is also focused in the mainstream, because it still keeps the chic together with the unique fashion style. 

You could not expect anything less from the same team that makes the magazine Visionare. It is an A class... or V class as they would say! In its issues you will find editorials with many international photographers and the top top models. It has a lot of information in many other subjects of art and lifestyle, such as celebrities, music, cinema, architecture and art general. 

It is filled with a lot of the material left out of the Visinaire. But do not start thinking it is just the rest of some random magazine! Read ahead and you'll understand that the being the rest of that magazine is a great reason to buy it! 


4. i-D 
Pioneer, unique, groundbreaking: the i-D magazine is one of kind in fashion. The first and still best magazine to speak for the youth and street style. This bimonthly british mag started in 1980 and is famous for bringing up new talents in photography and general fashion. 

There are few books published about their unique editorials and covers. Most famous top models and many artists in cinema and music have been present on the cover or pages of the i-D magazine. 

It not only talks about young and international street fashion, it also shows a lot of music, cinema, art and popular culture. Everything in their unique way. 



3. Numéro 
Finally a french... and it had to be between the top three! Actually there are the French, and the Japanese version of the Numéro, but the French is the first and founder of the name. 

Numéro is the most important originally french fashion magazine. It has the highest standard of photography. It is mostly directed to the high class fashionistas as the Another Magazine, but you can see that it is more french and more focused on elegance. 

Opposed to other french fashion magazines such as L'Officel and Marie Claire, Numero is more directed to a group of women that would prefer to read about art, music, architecture, cinema and couture fashion, instead of celebrities, gossip and high street fashion. 

2. Vogue 
The first and still the most important and influential fashion magazine in the World, and the one that dictates the rules that are going to be followed by millions of submissive fashionistas all arond the Globe. 

Originally American, Vogue has now versions in many countries. The most important versions are the Italian, French and British. Each country adds to Vogue its style, but what all have in common is that where there are a version of Vogue, it is the most important fashion magazine. 

In the end, Vogue does not require introductions. If you like fashion, you definitely know it! 



1. Visionaire 
The most unique magazine in the World. I am not sure if I can call it a magazine, because it comes in different shapes that could be considered many other things besides a magazine. 

It is also one of the most wanted in the fashion Industry. It comes in a limited amount of copies, so who wants one, need to work really hard to get it! 

The team that makes the Visionaire are totally brilliant in what they do. They put together all the coolest things going on in the most unique way. 

Unfortunately as it is really rare and disputed, I never had the opportunity to see a Visionaire magazine in person, so I cannot give greater details. I have to be content only with their website information and images... but I must say, that is already pretty impressive! 








P.S.: My favorite Fashion Magazine: Lula 

It would not be between the 10 most important fashion magazines, but Lula is still one of the best for sure! 

It is a sweet magazine made for girls. Beautiful editorials with a lot of vintage styling and poetry. All put together looking like a dreamy fairy tale. It is also british and posted only twice a year. 

Definitely my favorite!

Make your workplace a safe-food zone

Your office may be a tobacco-free zone. Is it time to go donut-free, too?

Like North Carolina, many states have passed laws banning smoking in certain public places. It’s the right thing to do.

Not only does tobacco kill, but second-hand smoke harms the health of nonsmokers, too. Similar considerations should be given to food.
Poor diets are linked with obesity as well as higher rates of coronary artery disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer. Like tobacco, a steady diet of fried chicken, sausage biscuits and french fries is a killer, too.

And a toxic food environment – where junky foods surround us all and healthier alternatives are scarce – contributes to poorer health outcomes for everybody.

To what extent, then, should we try to make workplaces healthier places to be?

Think about coworkers who are trying to lose weight or get a handle on a health problem. Think about your own efforts to eat well.

Sitting in a meeting staring down a box of Krispy Kremes undermines your best efforts to stay well. None of us are immune.

Among the challenges:

* Breakfast busters. Donuts, pastries, big, greasy muffins and white-flour bagels gobbed with cream cheese hurt health because they’re so high in calories, saturated fat or trans fat and provide little of what you need.

* Lunch losers. Here we’re talking about the meat- and cheese-laden pizzas, fast food, barbecue, hamburgers and hotdogs, cakes, and anything covered with cheese, infused with red or processed meats, or made from a box dessert mix.

* Party foods and snacks. Soft drinks, sweet tea, snack chips, meats and cheeses, and desserts can be a setback for you or colleagues who may be trying to control their blood sugar, cholesterol levels, weight or blood pressure.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s not difficult to create an environment where you can enjoy good food that’s good for you, too. Doing that, though, requires careful thought and leadership to set the stage.

One step may be advocating for a set of guidelines – formal or informal – to help create a framework for healthier food where you work. Good places to start:

* Calorie-free drinks. Banish regular soft drinks and sweet tea and instead serve diet drinks, unsweetened tea and water. Serve only a limited number of caloric beverages, such as 100 percent fruit juice in small containers.

* No red meats or processed meats. At the very least, remove these from the menu. Beef, lamb, pork, sausage, bacon and other cured meats have no place in a health-supporting diet.

* Shrink the sweets and salty snacks. Nobody’s saying no birthday cake. Instead, hold them to a minimum and surround them with healthier options such as fruit salad, fresh veggies, and bean dip.

Think advocating for a workplace food policy is a killjoy? From my experience, it can have the opposite effect.

When Chapel Hill’s Mediterranean Deli catered a meal at my home for a school event, the result was a riot of color and flavor: Curried couscous salad, a chopped green salad, grape leaves stuffed with rice, hummus with pita bread, and fruit salad with sliced mango were hits.

One small platter of dessert pastries served with dates and candied almonds were enough to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Start talking at your workplace about making it a dietary safe zone.
