Great style: Zoe Saldana

Magazine Review: Self May 2010 - Zoe Saldana

Just realized that my subscription ran out back in March & I haven't been reviewing this. Guess that's what happens when you get so many magazines. lol
This is a very good issue. Lets tackle each section:
Beauty - This has the 2010 Healthy Beauty Awards. The are much more in-depth than most beauty awards, getting into skin-type, hair-type, etc for every category. There is also an article about make-at-home beauty fixes/recipes. And of course the requisite suncare article, this one even includes diet adjustments to make to protect yourself from the inside-out.
Fashion - They have 2 pages of swimsuits, categorized by trend w/note on body-type, price, where to buy, if you can mix & match and if available by cup size. In the article about Zoe Saldana, she models several very cute floral dresses.
Workouts - This is month 3 of the Self Challenge, which comes w/the normal workout tips, pull-out cards, weekly diet, etc. They also have a workout designed to target cellulite, including diet changes to makes & superficial fixes.
Food - short mentions on chip alternatives & flavor boosters to try (sriracha, flavored balsamic vinegar, etc).
Articles - Secrets of Women at Their Sexual Peak & Self's Get Happier Guide (which also mentions therapy, etc).

NOTE: In this issue I also heard about Discovery Health's Psych Week starting May 2nd.

Very good issue. I would recommend buying it

Magazine Review: Glamour April 2010 - Amanda Seyfried

This month's Glamour has 3 different cover girls: Amanda Seyfried, Zoe Saldana & Leighton Meester. All 3 are part of the 50 Most Glam Women of 2010. The Glam list includes newcomers like Blake Lively and Chanel Iman, glam couples like Tom Brady & Gisele, glam men like Jon Hamm, Hall of Famers like Jennifer Aniston & Kate Winslet & imports like Marion Cotillard. Many, many more are listed.
Didn't find much in the way of fashion inspiration although there were a few cute pastel pieces that stood out. Michael Kors Dos & Don'ts of Spring Chic had some good tips for keeping things season appropriate.
There are several beauty spreads but no fresh new looks/ideas. I did find a few hairstyles to try in Sexy Hair in 60 Seconds (liked 4 out of the 10 styles shown).
As far as articles, the only one that I bothered to read was What's Destroying Your Love Life? Oh... Could It Be You? It's very basic common sense stuff (like He's Just Not That Into You) but sometimes you just need to hear it.
