Don't pull a Zooey and find out why bangs will do wonders to your look.

Get an Instant Face Lift

If you’re looking for a hairstyle that will shed years off your face, stylists insist you opt for bangs, which they describe as an "instant face lift” and “eye-opener.” South Beach-based celebrity hairstylist Danny Jelaca, who has worked with famous supermodels such as Naomi Campbell, says this is a look that can enhance your natural features and mask imperfections. "It’s a great solution to hide an imperfect hairline, wide forehead or scar,” explains Jelaca. "It can also help balance nonsymmetrical features. They help frame the face, like eyebrows do. They can also soften hard or weathered features."

(Reuters)
Get a DIY Makeover … With Caution

All stylists agree that when it comes to getting perfect bangs for your face, it’s crucial to visit a professional. However, if you insist on giving yourself a makeover, there are some important tips to keep in mind. "Use your natural growth pattern and cut the bangs to that pattern," says Jelaca. "Do not make an even triangle parting to cut bangs. The front hairline in the bang section almost never lays that perfect." Also, don’t forget your hair should be wet before grabbing the scissors for a face-flattering cut. "Cut them at the bridge of the nose for that perfect bang length," adds Jelaca. "Remember, they will shrink when dry right at the eyebrow."

(Reuters)
Ask For the Perfect Cut

Want to add definition to a new haircut? Make sure your stylist creates the right bangs for you. "You can get the best bangs of your life if the hairstylist holds the bangs up towards their chest while cutting them," says Pasquale Caselle, international creative director for IT&LY HAIRFASHION."This gives it a textured look and not a hard edge." Also, make sure your bangs are cut to enhance your specific face shape.

(Reuters)
Square Face

For those with strong facial features and a prominent jaw, get a straight-lined cut that will soften your face. "Opt for a nice strong blunt bang, giving it a classic geometric feel," says Mark Williamson, a stylist at Femme Coiffure Hair Spa in Miami Beach. "It’s a look that will always be timeless."

(Reuters)
Oval Face

To enhance sculpted cheekbones, skip too-short fringes. "Oval faces are best suited for a fringe that sweeps longer at both sides, creating an illusion of a rounder face," says Williamson. It will balance out your features, giving you a more youthful appearance.

(Reuters)
Round Face

"Rounder faces are generally better opting for more of a side-sweeping bang to break up the dimension of the face, creating an angle," says Williamson. Side-swept bangs also give a loose summer bun a romantic feel that can be worn for day or night.

(Reuters)
Heart-Shaped Face

To balance out a wide forehead and a narrow chin, get a long fringe with face-framing layers touching the chin.

(Associated Press)
Oblong Face

If your face is long, stylists say bangs are perfect for you as it will shorten your shape’s length. Avoid chin-sweeping fringes as it will only elongate your natural features. Instead, look for stylish round bangs to minimize a wide forehead.

(Reuters)
Afraid of Commitment

Need a makeover, but weary about getting that dreaded cut? Fortunately, bangs are still doable if styled right. "If you’re scared of making the commitment, you can always add a longer ‘swoopy’ bang with long layers for a fun, flirty look without being extreme," says Eric Rosado, senior stylist for Ted Gibson in New York City. 

(Reuters)
Stay Fresh

There’s no doubt that bangs require daily maintenance to keep them oil-free, but the work is a lot easier than you think. Avoid too-sticky hair products that will weigh you down, and instead, minimally use dry shampoo to keep your fringe clean. "Use a paddle brush when blow drying and good flat iron to keep them polished," says Rosado. "See your stylist every three weeks for a trim to keep your bangs looking fresh in between cuts" On days when you don’t feel like rocking bangs, simply pin them back.

(Reuters)
Keep Frizz at Bay

"If your hair frizzes easily, consider a keratin treatment or always utilize products that are infused with the natural protein," says Williamson. You’ll especially want to make use of this treatment during the steamy days of summer when frizz could be at its worst.

(Associated Press)
The Hottest Fringe

When asked which bang look is currently the most popular, many stylists said it's model Alexa Chung’s "messy" cut. As opposed to a blunt cut, the "Chung fringe" is easy to maintain and requires minimal products to keep it looking its best.

Double Corset

How did Jessica Alba get her svelte figure back after two pregnancies? The 32-year-old credits a certain (painful?) lingerie piece. “I wore a double corset day and night for three months,” said Alba in a 2013 interview with Net-A-Porter. “It was sweaty, but worth it.”

(Reuters)
Placenta Pills and Waist Cinchers

Former Playboy pinup Holly Madison lost 30 pounds in six weeks after giving birth to her first daughter in March 2013. As part of her regimen to get fit, the 34-year-old reportedly ordered waist cinchers from Frederick’s of Hollywood and Trashy Lingerie to help her get a smaller waist. If that wasn’t enough, Madison said she’s been taking pills made from her own placenta to promote better health. “They turn it into a little gelcap pill,” said Madison. “It’s not like you’re eating some bloody thing like it’s a steak! It’s supposed to prevent postpartum depression and is good for your health.”

Lettuce

After Beyonce gave birth to her firstborn daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012, the singer got back to looking Bootylicious with a serious diet. “Y’all have no idea how hard I worked. I had to lose 60 pounds,”  the 31-year-old singer said during a May concert that same year. “They had me on that treadmill — I ate lettuce!”

(Reuters)
Say No to Dairy

When actress Megan Fox was asked by Us Weekly how she lost 12 out of the 23 pounds she gained while pregnant with her son Noah in 2012, she gave some advice on trimming down quickly. “I try to eat whatever I want, but I don’t eat any dairy, and I guess that’s the biggest diet tip,” the 26-year-old said.

(Reuters)
No Carbs…or Solids?

As a Victoria’s Secret model, it’s crucial for Brazilian beauty and mother of two Adriana Lima to stay fit. After giving birth to daughter Valentina, Lima told Us Weekly that she stuck to a no-carb diet for three weeks. Sounds fairly doable, right? In 2011, it was revealed that before a runway show, Lima would only drink protein shakes, a gallon of water a day and skip solids, which meant consuming eggs in a powdered form. Then, 12 hours before the show, she would allegedly stop all liquids entirely. “No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that,” says Lima. After giving birth to her second daughter in 2012, the now 31-year-old reportedly focused on an intense workout regimen, minus the too-strict diet.

(Reuters)
The Smoothie Diet

According to TMZ, fashion mogul Jessica Simpson, who allegedly gained 60 pounds after her pregnancy to her firstborn daughter Maxwell in 2012, kicked off her Weight Watchers regimen with a 15-day smoothie diet.

'Five Hands' Diet and Algae Wraps

After giving birth to daughter Harper in 2011, fashion designer Victoria Beckham reportedly got back to a size zero by following the “five hands diet,” which meant consuming five handfuls of food a day. In addition, it’s been claimed that the 39-year-old also used algae wraps to help her lose up to three pounds per session.

(Reuters)
Kung Fu

Forget Pilates. When it came to picking the best exercise to help maintain her famous figure, Gisele Bundchen opted for a more physical workout. “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week,”  the 32-year-old told Vogue in 2010. “I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.” Ouch!

(Reuters)
Skipping Breakfast

It seems like model/actress Elizabeth Hurley has always been in the best shape of her life, including after she gave birth to son Damian in 2002. According to Marie Claire UK, the 47-year-old may have unveiled her sought-after diet on Twitter. “I swear by almost nothing for breakfast for adults,” tweeted Hurley. “Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.”

Get an Ethylene Gas Guardian

The E.G.G. or Ethylene Gas Guardian ($25) is a product that will absorb ethylene, which is emitted by most fruits and veggies. Some types of produce that are sensitive to this ripening agent will spoil more quickly when exposed to this gas. A solution is to separate the items and you can also choose to use the E.G.G. and put it in your produce drawer.

 

Educate Yourself About the Life of Your Grocery Items

Know how long each of your grocery items will last. For those without an expiration date, there is a handy list on Ziploc's website that gives an estimate of how long different types of produce and meats last when refrigerated and frozen.

Don't wait until the food spoils and you end up throwing it away. Keep in mind the life of each item and eat it based on which one perishes the fastest.

Don't Cut Fruits and Veggies Till You Need Them

Keep fruits and veggies whole (until you need them) if you want them to last longer. Don't break off a stem, break it apart, or chop it into pieces if you're not going to eat it. "As soon as you start pulling fruits and vegetables apart, you've broken cells, and microorganisms start to grow,"says Barry Swanson, a food scientist at Washington State University.

 

Put Bread in Fridge or Freezer

I have friends who immediately put the bread they buy into the fridge and my mom puts slices of bread into the freezer to make it last longer. If you're not going to finish the bread in a few days, don't leave it out on the counter or it will start to grow mold. The best method is to leave half of it in the freezer and half of it in the fridge.

 

Be Smart When Buying Organic

Even if you're a fan of organic foods, you might want to be smart when you're buying organic. For example, think about how long you take to eat a certain kind of food and choose to go organic based on that because organic foods spoil faster. If you find yourself constantly throwing away grocery items like eggs and milk, make a note of which ones and go for the normal kind the next time you're at the supermarket.

R&B singer Miguel says he got "caught up in the moment" when he tried to leap over some audience members during his performance of "Adorn."

I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken of."

They could be crawling with harmful bacteria right now.

Tags: 
(Reuters)
Ground Meat

"With whole muscle meat that hasn’t been tenderized or injected with marinades, all the contamination is on the outside. So the inside is basically sterile," says Worobo. In cases like this, storing the meat properly and then heating the surface areas through cooking is enough to kill most pathogens. But with ground meat, "you take that whole muscle meat and put it through a grinding process," he explains. "Now you've got pathogens everywhere."

Diez-Gonzales agrees, but is especially wary of ground chicken or turkey. "If you have a hot-spot on one piece of chicken thigh, and then grind it up, you may be spreading contamination around the room." And not only that, he says, but the machinery that processes the meat can become contaminated as well. "In the case of ground chicken, I’d hope they do some kind of washing before they grind it," he adds.

But not to worry, because Diez-Gonzalez doesn't think we need to give up on ground meats entirely. "I think the key thing here [for killing pathogens] is cooking the meat well," he advises.

Sprouts

"What I can tell you from what we have tested in my lab, is that sprouts, in general, have millions of bacteria normally present in them," says Diez-Gonzalez, who evidences the sheer number of bacteria as a probable indicator of the presence of pathogenic organisms. "And sprouts have been linked to a good number of outbreaks … their track record is not that great," he adds.

The problem lies in the way the sprouts are germinated, says Worobo. Sprouts are grown in warm environments, so if they've been exposed to contamination, pathogens can easily grow in the crevices of the seeds. There, they can thrive on the sugars produced during the sprouting process. "Even if [the growers] are doing what the FDA recommends, it’s still not going to be able to penetrate and kill what's in the crevices of that seed," he says.

Cooking the sprouts, however, will kill these pathogens and make sprouts safer to eat, but certain varieties (such as alfalfa sprouts) are almost exclusively eaten fresh, or raw.

"The CDC has issued five warning statements to avoid the consumption of fresh sprouts," explains Worobo, who advises sticking to stir-fries or recipes that require sprouts to be thoroughly cooked before ingesting.

Unpasteurized Milk

Proponents of this dairy product believe that pasteurization negates the health benefits of raw milk, but Worobo claims that the risks of drinking unpasteurized milk are far too great. "[The milk] can be cross contaminated from the environment and the animal itself," says Worobo, and it can contain can contain such harmful bacteria such as campylobacter, E. coli and listeria — which won't be killed unless the milk is heat treated.

But while the sale of raw milk is prohibited in many places, people can still get their hands on it directly through local farms and cow share programs (basically, the group ownership of a cow). Sometimes, even in places where it's prohibited, raw milk can be purchased if it's labeled as pet milk, or for pet consumption only. 

"In this day and age, unpasteurized milk is a safety hazard," says Worobo. "It's honestly what I believe."

Oysters

"If you’re talking about fish — raw fish — I wouldn’t put it among the highest risk," says Diez-Gonzalez. "But when it comes to oysters, raw oysters have a higher risk for more pathogens."

The problem usually lies in where the oysters are farmed, says Diez-Gonzalez. "In any kind of seafood, or animal that lives in open waters, or in the ocean, any of those animals are constantly filtrating water. In the case of oysters that reside in seabeds, they’re closer to coastal areas and human discharges," he says — and those discharges end up filtering through the shellfish.

"You want to only eat shellfish from approved water sources," adds Worobo. This shouldn't be a problem when eating oysters from the U.S., he further explains, because all wild or cultured varieties are grown in waters regulated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
