Beauty Food: Healthy Halloween treats from Chef Anthony Stewart

Even though I'm not much of a fan of the colder weather, I do have to admit that I absolutely love Halloween. It's the one time of year I can wear my normal daily makeup and people don't ask "what I'm all dressed up for," and treats. Mmmm...treats. I'm not even going to lie, I have a major sweet tooth which is so not cool when you are a beauty food believer like me. I'm constantly torn. But...after learning that 4% of all candy eaten in the U.S. occurs on Halloween night, making the average trick-or-treater’s bag of candy equivalent to 4,800 calories and 3 cups of sugar, I think that pretty much makes up my mind on what I will be snacking on this Halloween. 

Here are some healthy and absolutely delicious treats you can make for the whole family to enjoy. These treats were created by Chef Anthony Stewart, Executive Chef from Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa in Miami.

Fabulous NYE Dresses from Designer Amy Matto | Get Your Glam On!

I totally love New Year’s Eve. It's such a fun time holiday to spend with family and friends. And, it's a great time to get all glammed up and show off a new dress. Unfortunately, most women tend to dress shop with only NYE on the brain and end up choosing a dress that they only wear once...which is such a waste. This year, instead of buying a dress that you're only going to wear for NYE, pick something you can also wear to the office, on a dinner date or for a night at the theatre. These dresses from New York Designer Amy Matto are perfect examples of pieces that can do just that. They're like the multi-tasking mavens of the dress world.

8 Fab Tips for Finding Affordable Fashion

New York Fashion Week is one of my absolute favorite fashion events of the year. A time for fashionistas to head to NYC and find out what is going to be popular in fashion next spring. While it may seem silly to begin thinking of color pallets and mini vs. maxi dresses, now is the time to snag looks still on sale from summer 2011 that will translate into 2012.

Here are eight fab ways to get that luxury look without emptying your wallet from money-saving expert Andrea Woroch.

1. Shop Sample Sales

Search for sample sales in your city for a chance to score current designer looks for a fraction of the cost. For those who don't live near a big city where such fashion sales are abundant, don't stress. You can shop flash-sale websites like Gilt Groupe, which feature designer duds for 50 to 70-percent off. Returns are accepted on most merchandise, but make sure to read the site's policy before making the purchase so you don't get stuck with ill-fitting goods.
