This simple diet flex can lower risk of heart disease

What if a simple tweak to your diet could significantly reduce your risk of heart disease without requiring you to go entirely meat-free?

Is there an optimal time of day to work out?

It’s a long-standing discussion for all who want to get into shape. When is the best time to exercise? Morning and evening workouts both have their benefits.

MAKING SCENTS

Kilian Hennessy’s goal seems simple. All he wants is for perfume to return to its 19th-century roots, when it was thought of as a true luxury and only the finest ingredients were used. But, considering where perfume is in this day and age, the perfumer’s feat presents quite a challenge.

WOMEN AT WORK

Wear Your Vote

With the National Democratic Convention wrapping up last week and the Republicans finishing theirs today, there’s no better time to wear your candidate on your sleeve. Or, in some cases, on your underwear.

Fall Fashion, Translated

As glamorous as the fashion runways can be, they aren’t always practical. Looks that saunter down the catwalk often inspire furrowed brows from industry outsiders. It can be difficult for the average Jane to imagine how certain garments can possibly translate in a context other than New York Fashion Week.

Lose the Water Baby

We’re like camels in this dry desert heat. Las Vegans typically gain about 5 pounds of water weight in the summer. Unfortunately, that can leave you feeling bloated and uncomfortable until October, when the water naturally releases from your body. Try Natura Bisse Body Slim for a quick fix to that bloated feeling. It contains brown algae extract, which helps reduce your fluid retention and iodine to enhance drainage. Rub just a small amount on your bloated areas to alleviate your water weight. For a super slimming treat, apply Body Slim and then wrap your target area, such as your stomach, with plastic wrap to lose inches.

Luxurious Shine

Shine in your hair shouldn’t leave you feeling greasy. If your hair is feeling a bit dull, try Oscar Blandi’s Jasmine Oil Serum, which alleviates that little frizz you might have, adds a touch of reflection and minimizes fly aways. You can apply a few drops to wet hair to protect from the heat of your blow dryer or use it on dry hair as a finishing product to smooth out hair. Best of all, it has a luxuriously rich jasmine aroma. Oscar Blandi Jasmine Hair Serum, $35, Ulta

BEST OF BEAUTY

The beauty industry never stops trying to lure you into buying new primping products. With each season comes a slew of new lip glosses, eye shadow palettes and hair products that promise to do the kind of things miracles are made of. Consumers find themselves swimming in a sea of claims and cures. The never-ending dilemma seems to be which to pass up and which to convert to.

PUCKER UP

If you’ve always envied a pucker like Angelina Jolie’s, then you and lip plumpers should get along fabulously. They’re supposed to add a little pout to your lips, much like silicone injections only without the needle or the scary outcomes. To add a little oomph to your look, consider one of these plumpers. Each appeals to a different budget.
