These Photos of Freckles Will Make You Love Your Spots Even More
In a day when "fraxel" is the next word on the lips of every freckle-faced person I know, I'm delighted that British photographer Brock Elbank is celebrating these natural spots. In a photo series appropriately named Freckles, he is sharing stunning images via Instagram of those who have the skin specks.
I asked him how this project came about. He said: "When we lived in Sydney in early 2012, I played for a Saturday football team. My teammate John Lloyd's 10-year-old lad Eddie came to watch a match. Eddie had this face full of freckles like I'd never seen before. They were very intense. He was great-looking character, so I asked John if I could shoot a portrait and that was the start of it. I then become obsessed with the subject, searching out for the most diverse mix I can to document the subject. When we moved back to the UK, I had to put the series on hold while I shot my #Project60. It was an idea for Beard Season's melanoma charity, and it was exhibited at Somerset House as Beard in March 2015. But now I'm in full production of Freckles, and luckily I'm receiving the same feedback as I did with #Project60 through Instagram and other social media. Subjects are travelling from all over, including Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Norway, amongst others, to be photographed."

Many self-confessed meal preppers often take to Instagram to show off their ingenuity and handiwork.

Keep Bread Fresh (Practically) Forever With This Trick
Few things are sadder than tossing out a stale half-loaf of beautiful artisanal (or homemade) bread. The problem: said beautiful bread lacks the stabilizers present in commercial presliced loaves, and so it goes from rocking your world to rock-hard ridiculously fast. The solution: eat more bread a simple trick involving your freezer.
Here's what you should do:
- Within 24 hours (maximum) of cutting into a loaf, slice up the remaining bread. (Don't wait until it's already turned the corner; at that point, your best bet is giving leftovers a second life as croutons, breadcrumbs, or bread pudding.) Don't just stick the bread in the freezer unsliced. Unless your kitchen is equipped with a buzz saw, there's no chance you're going to be able to slice it without thawing the entire loaf first (trust us, we've tried).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper, arrange the slices in one layer on top of that, and put it in the freezer, uncovered, until frozen solid. (The parchment will prevent the gorgeous, moist crumb of the bread from sticking to the pan, and the single layer will prevent the slices from freezing stuck to each other.)
- Once the bread slices are frozen, transfer them to a resealable freezer bag, removing as much air from the bag as possible.
- When a bread craving hits, take out just as many slices of bread as you'll eat then, and either let them thaw at room temperature, or put them directly in the toaster (they'll take about one extra minute to toast). The texture of the bread will be about 95 percent as good as fresh bread and far better than second-day, already-starting-to-go-stale bread. Stored frozen (in a resealable freezer bag), sliced bread will stay fresh and delicious for at least six months, if not longer.

Here's How to Order From Starbucks's Secret Valentine's Day Menu
Leave it to Starbucks to bring extra delight to an already-sweet holiday. A barista in Tucson, AZ, named Tony Aguilar has concocted a few lovely Valentine's Day Frappuccinos that are sure to lift anyone's spirits - especially those spending the most romantic holiday of the year with Netflix and a box of tissues.
The three secret menu options certainly look the part with their pink and purple color from ingredients like flavored syrups and toppings. But if you're dying to try any of these special drinks, simply ordering them by name won't do the trick. "If customers would like to order a beverage that is not listed on our menu, we recommend they know the recipe so that their barista can handcraft the beverage perfectly for them," said a Starbucks spokesperson.
Above is the Strawberries and Crème Frappuccino with raspberry pumps, vanilla bean in the middle, and blackberry on top, finished with whipped cream. Keep scrolling for a peek at the other two secret menu Frappuccinos.
A Short and Sweet 35-Minute Elliptical Interval Workout
I must admit, I am not a true fan of the elliptical. My husband, however, loves the machine, which is why we have one. Mostly, I use the elliptical when I need a cardio fix but want to give my joints a break. The workout is less pounding than running and more convenient than cycling. Unfortunately, I find the machine boring. I keep my elliptical workouts fresh by playing with all the elements the machine has to offer: pedaling backward and alternating between pushing and pulling the handles. Adding intervals also spices up my time on the machine and I even like to work my core and go hands-free. Here is a workout that keeps me ellipticizing for 35 minutes and hopefully it will work for you too.

Bend These Weight-Loss Rules and Still Drop Pounds
If you love to eat, losing weight can seem so structured - you immediately get frustrated and grab the first decadent food you can find. Even though there are some very specific guidelines that can help you reach your goal faster, there's no one-size-fits-all weight-loss plan for everyone. Here are five rules you can bend and still drop pounds from the scale.
Rule #1: No Cupcakes, Wine, or French Fries
While dessert, alcohol, and fried foods tend to be high in calories, just because you want to lose weight doesn't mean you have to live without the foods you adore. Actually, denying yourself the bites you crave can backfire, causing you to feel deprived, resulting in bingeing. You can't eat these foods all the time, but it's perfectly healthy to enjoy a few spoonfuls of ice cream or a small glass of Chardonnay every once in a while. Just tone down your portion sizes and only indulge about once a week.
Rule #2: Salad, Every Day
Salads aren't for everyone, and the dissatisfied feeling you get afterward could cause you to head to the nearest pizza joint. Plus, salad toppings can really add up. When a bowl of greens is covered in candied walnuts, cheese, dried cranberries, avocado, and creamy dressing, a seemingly healthy salad can run higher in calories than a burger. If you're not into a bowl of raw veggies, choose other low-calorie meals that incorporate veggies such as sandwiches, broth-based soups, grilled veggies, and whole-grain salads. You have to enjoy the foods you're eating in order to stick with a healthy meal plan.
Rule #3: Must Exercise to Lose Weight
A 30-minute jog burns about 250 calories, and while burning calories is a great way to lose weight, it's not the only way. If you're injured and can't exercise, or you're just not able to make the time for it, you can still lose weight. It just means you have to be willing to eat less and cut calories in your diet instead. If you do skip out on workouts, keep active in other ways - it's important for so many other reasons like heart health, stress relief, and better sleep.
Rule #4: No Carbs
While carbs tend to be high in calories, not all carbs are created equal. Refined carbs like white flour, rice, and sugar are the ones to limit. Complex carbs like quinoa, oats, whole-wheat pasta, whole-grain bread, and brown rice are full of protein that'll give you energy and fiber that will keep you full. And simple carbs like fruit also offer fiber to send your brain that "I'm full" signal. You still need to watch portions of these foods since they aren't calorie-free, but you definitely don't need to (and shouldn't) ditch all carbs in the name of weight loss.
Rule #5: Measure Everything
While portion control is a huge weight-loss buzz phrase, and limiting your calories is the best way to lose weight, you don't have to be rigid about measuring everything. There are tons of foods you can eat as much as you want of and not measure a single bite. We're talking nonstarchy, low-cal veggies such as salad greens, peppers, celery, and cucumbers. If your daily diet seems too strict, try to include foods like these that you can munch on without worrying about how much you're eating.

Watch This Manicure Transform Into a Cozy Cable-Knit Sweater
Staples of the holiday season: mulled wine, The Holiday, and cozy sweaters, right? Given Los Angeles doesn't ever get remotely close to frigid temperatures, we tend to deal with a massive case of FOMO when we see the rest of the country wearing festive cable-knits.
Our solution? Creating one on our nails, obviously. If you have a steady hand and are good at painting your nails, this look is relatively simple to re-create, given you have gel polish and a curing device at home. If not, it's a great look to give your nail artist for inspiration! The key is using a thicker art gel to create the designs and curing it immediately after (for about 10 seconds) to keep the art from flattening out on the nail.
It goes without saying that anyone can wear this look, whether you're bundled up in a cozy sweater or just wishing for a white Christmas.

How to Save Calories on Your Next Batch of Cookies
When you're in the mood for something sweet and homemade, nothing beats a batch of warm cookies straight out of the oven. It's a cookie crime if you don't devour a couple while they're cooling on the rack, and if the rest make it to the cookie jar, you'll have a hard time walking by it without grabbing a few more. At 100 to 300 calories per cookie, those calories can really add up, which isn't great news if you're trying to watch your weight. But it is possible to bake your cookies and eat them too. Here are some ways you can save calories on that next batch.
- Use healthier alternatives to high-calorie ingredients: Butter, eggs, oil, sour cream, and heavy cream are full of calories, so make a few lower-cal switcheroos such as avocado for butter, applesauce for oil, a banana for an egg, or Greek yogurt for sour cream, and your tastebuds won't even notice.
- Eat a few, freeze the rest: The cookies will call to you from the kitchen, so avoid the temptation by enjoying a few and then popping the rest in the freezer. Or you can also freeze the cookie dough in ice cube trays, and cook up a couple at a time when cravings strike. Or if you know freezing the leftovers won't keep you away, give them away. You can't consume calories from cookies you don't have.
- Make the portions smaller: If the recipe yields two dozen regular-sized cookies, make cookies half the size to yield 48 cookies. You'll feel satisfied gobbling down a few of these smaller cookies but for fewer calories than if you ate the same amount of the larger-sized ones.
- Use less sugar: Cookies are meant to be sweet and decadent, but you can get away with decreasing the amount of sugar without making them taste like they were made for a health food convention. Experiment with your favorite recipes to see how low you can go. Or replace all of the sugar with dates as in this amazing recipe.
- Go grain-free: Ditching the flour is one way to save on calories. Here's a delicious recipe for almond and coconut macaroons.
- Omit the extras: Nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, candy bits, and dried fruit add calories to every bite, so either use less than the recipe calls for, or omit them altogether.
