So what are you waiting for? Time to assess the gadget goods! Read more
Looks may be deceiving, but don't be fooled: I promise this is a sexier and sleeker version of the eGo drive I reviewed last year. This much lighter, third generation, 320GB drive offers built-in antivirus software and an impressive rugged aluminum exterior that can withstand a 1.3 meter drop, which you know as well as I do is very important when you're lugging around a device that holds your Read more
Dear Sugar, My boyfriend loves to tell me how sexy, hot, or gorgeous he thinks I am. I love that he loves how I look, but I find it hard to return the compliments. I find him sexy and am very attracted to him (and tell him so), but I would never describe him as "hot."

The Carpenters married in September 1993, and less than 10 weeks later, a car accident left them both injured and Krickitt in a coma. Once she woke up, she had no memory of her husband. Besides the coma and memory loss, The Vow doesn't Read more
In this digital age, men and women aren't just hitting bars and coffee shops to snag a date. More and more, they're heading to the Internet. In fact, 50 percent of men have met a woman online according to a recent survey. It's obvious that online dating has become the norm, and for good reason — the Internet gives you more options because you can cover a wider area of partner possibilities (as Read more
The 2012 Oscar nominations have been announced, and both Glenn Close and Janet McTeer of Albert Nobbs made the list for their performances as women who live as men. And whether it's a powerful dramatic performance or a lighthearted wig-and-makeup gag, cross-dressing has made for memorable movie experiences in the past. Who can forget Robin Williams's Scottish-sounding alter ego in Mrs. Doubtfire? Read more
Yoga is generally seen as a therapeutic practice that can alleviate pain from previous injuries and help prevent new ones. But a recent article from The New York Times Magazine highlights the practice as something quite different — yoga can wreck your body.
