Have You Ever Been Asked to Lose Weight For a Wedding?

FitSugar — Thu, 06 May 2010 03:47:51 PDT

Last week we reported that Bill Clinton was asked to lose a few pounds by his bride-to-be daughter. He took the request in stride, but I'm sure this is not always the case. I've heard horror stories from offended bridemaids when a bride has mentioned the entire wedding party could benefit from a diet. I want to know . . .

New brides, pay attention! All week long we'll be bringing you tips on how to prepare your body for the big day. But we want to hear what you've been doing to stay in shape too. Head over to the FitSugar Community and post your wedding workout tips, or, if you're already hitched, how did you get healthy for your big day?

Delicious Gets a Redesign - Woohoo!

GeekSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:00:38 PDT

Oh Delicious, I almost (I said almost) forgot about you, and then you go and do something brilliant - you get a very much needed makeover! I was seriously considering walking away from all of my favorite bookmarks, or at least moving them to a much more user-friendly site, but alas, you pull though with a fresh new name (minus all the . and . 's), a slick new UI and a much faster search engine - nice work! And the best part about the new look? The big and beautiful notes fields that you can either change to reveal more bookmark info or compact their display with a single click on the Tag Bar!

Tag Galaxy Is Out of This World

For some visual Friday fun, head on over to Tag Galaxy, where you can browse through Flickr photos in 3D. Just enter a tag, click on the planets with the tag you want to see and click "view photos" and let the site work its magic. Tag Galaxy requires the newer version of the Adobe Flash Player to work and requires some RAM and a good Internet connection, so be patient while the images load. Isn't it glorious?

Etsy Find: Paloma's Nest Holiday Christmas Text Tiles

CasaSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 12:00:27 PST

This Paloma's Nest Holiday Christmas Text Tile Set ($8) is a set of four porcelain charms/tags which make perfect miniature surprises to tie onto a gift, around a bottle of wine, or to use as party favors. Each is handcrafted and the set comes with one each imprinted with the words "Happy Holidays," "Joy to the World," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and "Happy New Year!" I love the sentiment behind them, and the extra thought that is put into using them with a holiday or hostess gift.

4 Reasons to Love the New Tesla Model X (And 1 Reason You Won't)

Kristy Korcz — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:21:25 PST

Tesla announced the latest edition to its eco-friendly car lineup, the Model X, earlier this week. Staying true to its roots, the Model X will be sleek, powerful, and of course, easy on the planet, thanks to its all-electric motor. But more than just a pretty face, the Model X comes with some features you may not want to pass up. Check them out below and stay tuned for the Model X to hit the streets in 2014.

All electric motor - Of course, the most attractive thing about the Model X is its ability to go 200 to 270 miles on a charge from its electric motor, omit zero emissions, and go from zero to 60 in just 4.4 seconds. It's an eco lover's dream!
It's big enough for the family - Seating seven adults, the Model X is perfect for a growing family or car-share commuters. Three rows make for an easy ride!
Falcon Wings - You heard me right. Falcon Wings. Instead of sliding open like a minivan or swinging out like an SUV, the back doors on the Model X open up and out of the way to allow for more space to get in and out of the vehicle and to squeeze into narrow parking spaces. Easily one of the coolest things I've seen on a car.
The dashboard - The front panel of the Model X comes with a massive touch screen display to provide GPS and battery information, entertainment, and lots more.

Why on earth would you have a reason to hate a car that looks like this? Find out after the break.
