City gym vs country living

Beauty Digest No Comments »
As the credit crunch hits us, luxuries like gym memberships are often one of the first things to be cut out from our lifestyles as we tighten the purse strings. But that needn't mean ditching your exercise regime. In fact, getting the endorphins flowing is probably one of the best things we can do to lift our spirits as our budgets shrink. (And let's face it - a good bike ride is going to be a lot cheaper than hitting the high streets right now.)
 
Enter The Frugal Life team. Two of our writers are on a mission to lower their BMIs (Body Mass Indexes) for the cheapest possible price in the coming months. And while one is an urban chick, the other is a country-loving girl. So who can get the greatest results according to where they live? Find out in the Frugal Life Fitness Challenge here!

Project Beauty: Nintendo DS software rates your looks and suggests repairs

As if the hyper-beauty-conscious women of Japan didn’t have enough societal pressure, now computers are getting in on the practice of judging beauty. In a clever promotional tie-up with cosmetics giant Shiseido, game maker Nintendo plans to release a new piece of software in November for the Nintendo DS called Project Beauty.

After scanning your face into the software, the program uses a preset list of parameters to tell you if your face is cool, active, cute or feminine. The software will then offer make-up tips designed to improve your appearance (at least in the eyes of the marketing bigwigs at Shiseido). If this wasn’t so typically cute-in-an-odd-Japanese-way, we might have to call this software the scariest computer program most likely to lead to a world of Stepford Wives we’ve ever seen.

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in Coral Mint is more like a sheen than a gloss (your hair won't stick to it) and contains peppermint, so it's cooling and tingly, plus it freshens your breath. I was in a really boring meeting the other day and found myself smelling the tube to stay awake.
