The new spring fashions are hitting the racks!

How are you gonna pull off those sassy, skimpy new finds? Cosmo has gave several ideas of how to trick the eye for a long, lean look --no matter what you're wearing.

--Start from the bottom. Underwear is 50% of battle and Cosmo suggests wearing "Skinny Britches" --a pair of lightweight bike shorts that will smooth out the hind quarters.

--Remember "The Girls." One of the worst offenders is VBB --visible bra band. This is when your brassiere is so tight it digs in your back. Get a professional fitting to find out what size you're supposed to wear. Smaller-chested ladies can ditch the underwire altogether and opt for a supportive, shaping tank top.

--Think of the other half. Wear something clean and simple on the bigger part of your body. If you're bottom-heavy, go for a dark, pencil skirt and doll up your look on top while bigger-busted ladies should stay neutral with a v-neck sweater or cardigan in a subtle color.

--Jeans are meant to be simple. Resist the urge to buy denim with logos on the back pockets, keep away from light, washed-out denim or anything too fancy. A dark wash with medium rise and bit of stretch are likely to the most flattering cut for any body type.

--Get Skinny Hair. The best fashion accessory is available at the beauty parlor and Cosmo suggests adding highlights or lowlights to your hair. The reason is that one block shade of color will --literally--weigh you down!

--Use Your Camera. Take pictures of different outfits and find the most flattering. Save these on your computer or print them out and hang the photos right on your closet.

--How to pose for pictures. Step out with your right foot, slightly turn your body, stick your neck out, hold your shoulders back and place your hand on your right hip for a model-worthy shot.

Fun with Windows 7

So I just bought a new laptop that has Windows 7 and while I have no clue what I’m doing, I’m having a lot of fun playing around with all the cool new features.  So much better than the piece of junk Vista I had.

Uh oh...Swimsuit Season is coming...

Uh oh, girls. It's coming --those two dreaded words that spark fear in hearts of women from 15-to-105 --swimsuit season! But there's no need to go on a crazy, crash diet --the girls at Cosmo magazine have the perfect figure-fixers no matter what your shape.

Small on Top --Less endowed gals should go for a bikini top that features ruffles, sparkles, or any type of "flare." It will distract the eye and give the illusion there's a little more than meets the eye.

A Big Belly --Grab a belted one-piece to create an instant, curvy, hourglass shape ala MARILYN MONROE.

A Bigger Booty --A little more junk in the trunk means you get to wear one of the funkiest suits around. The stylists suggest looking for a bikini bottom that features rings at the seams --it will do a better job of holding in your (ahem) assets.

Busty --A one-piece V-neck suit is a great option for girls with cleavage to spare because it will elongate your torso and minimize "the girls."

When to Toss Old Makeup

Wondering how long you should keep that pile of makeup you have? Here you go:

Concealer: Up to 12 months.

Powder: 2 years.

Pencil eyeliner: Sharpen it regularly and it will last up to 3 years.

Eyeshadow: Also good for up to 3 years.

Foundation:If water-based, up to 12 months. Oil-based, 18 months.

Lip liner: Up to 3 years.

Lipstick: Most experts say 1-2 years. Of course, if it smells bad, toss it -- it's spoiled!

Mascara: This stuff expires the fastest-throw it away after 4 months.

Brushes: Wash 'em every 2-3 months with mild detergent and you can keep 'em until the bristles fall out.

Nail polish: Up to 12 months, depending on the quality and consistency.

Seriously? You just found out you're a millionare and that's all you have to say?!?

Woo Hoo!

Yea! Guest bath is being painted today. Guest bedroom will be painted on Thursday. Excited to see how they turn out. It's the little things, ya know? Here are some pics of the BLAND boring all white before the painting started today:

Have questions about the 2010 Census?

“Constitution” Census Road Tour Bus will be making a two-day stop in York as part of the 2010 Census “Portrait of America” Road Tour.

Look for “Constitution” today (Thursday, March 4) from 5.m. to 9 p.m. and tomorrow (Friday, March 5) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. when you visit the Mid-Atlantic Garden Show being held at the Toyota Arena at the York Fair Expo Center.

The 2010 Census “Portrait of America” Road Tour is helping spread the word that the 2010 Census is easy, important and confidential. There will be interactive displays where participants will be able to share images and stories explaining what the census means to them and how it will make a difference in their community. Attendees will also receive information about the census and job opportunities that are available immediately. A sample census form just like the one that will be arriving soon in mailboxes is included in the display. In addition, Census 2010 representatives will be on hand to answer questions.

The purpose of the Census Road Tour is to inspire interest and encourage participation in Census 2010. “Constitution” will make appearances at schools, malls, and community events to distribute information and raise awareness as to the importance of having everyone participate in the 2010 Census. “Constitution” is one of 13 custom built buses traveling throughout the country.

Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in a Nutshell

In case you missed it (I didn't write this-I found it and it's silly!), this about sums up last night's closing ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games:

Some crazy mime/mechanic “fixed it” through the power of facial expression and “dance.” He is an Olympic hero for the ages, and I covet his socks.

I have no idea what these ninth-grade snowboarders are supposed to be spelling on the floor (though I did understand the maple leaf). I love a challenge!

“President Obama will have to pony up for a case of Molson Canadian.”

THE ATHLETES! Apolo! Shani Davis high-fiving the snowpeople!

Ryan Miller is a one-man iPhone commercial — watch your back, Justin Long.

Evan Lysacek, one of the few people not documenting this madness on a small screen of his own, is just lovin’ it (like McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets).

Team Canada’s MOOSE SWEATERS.

Poor Joannie…people just keep posing with her and she has no choice but to keep standing there!
The Americans’ Olympic Cardigans are pretty cute, too.

U.S. athlete (help me out: who?) holds up a homemade “Thank You Canada” sign.

Most of these people look like they could use a beer or five.

Tenor Ben Heppner performs the Olympic Hymm. Huge lip-sync gaffe there? Discuss.

I swear he just sang “Riiiiii-colaaaaa” like in the Ricola commercial. Say it is so!

The Russian national anthem reminds me of Christmas…and The Hunt for Red October. All are about a month long.

Natalia Vodianova, the face of the 2014 Sochi Games, touches a magical snow globe as people roll around in hamster balls and everything sounds like bubbles.

Bob Costas has pretty severe issues with the presentation of Maria Guleghina: “The troika is a Russian carriage pulled by three horses…. At least that’s what they told me…. “I’m looking for the horses….” (Is this Russia’s version of Lady Gaga?)

Crazy podium makes it look like John Furlong, CEO of the VOC, was reading from the Book of Ice. (“This is the word of the snowboard… Thanks be to Alanis.”)

“These were excellent and friendly Games.” –IOC President Jacques Rogge, who got booed when he said they were over

Neil Young sings “Long May You Run,” just like he did during Conan’s final Tonight Show. He just loooooves to extinguish those flames.

Fake snowfall as we zoom in on the torch. Nice. Now turn off the Lindseycam. We get it.

What it means to William Shatner to be a Canadian: “We are a people who know how to make love in a canoe.”

Michael J. Fox is *sorry,* but if he’s watching Canada play the U.S. in hockey, he’s wearing his maple leaf sweater. (Can’t he see they’ve moved on to reindeer?)

Before the camera zoomed in, I really hoped Michael Bublé would turn out to be Stephen Colbert. I know, it wouldn’t make sense! But does anything, really?

I missed Avril Lavigne and Nickelback due to The Marriage Ref and my local news. I’m okay with this.

ALANIS! But not just Alanis. In the middle of Alanis: more Lindseycam. This time they zoomed in so it was just her eyes. Enough! Show Alanis!

Simple Plan and Hedley, really? Where’s Celine? Arcade Fire? Metric? Stars? Where is Rush? Be cool or be cast out, Canada…

Ooh, looking ahead to the 2012 Summer Games in London. Strike up the Love Actually song!

WORST Idol Ever!!!

So yeah, no joke- tonight's Idol was the worst I've EVER seen. At the start of the show, Ryan made the comment that this was the girl's year and they had some of the best talent ever. Um, no. And I'm not the only one who felt that way. Check out this thread from my Facebook. Want in on the discussion? You can Facebook friend me here (www.facebook.com/tracitaylor)

Traci Taylor-can't take it anymore and am turning it off. Tonight's Idol is SO bad that its not even worth watching. What a joke.

Trisha Smith-my ears are bleeding! I agree with absolutely everything Simon has said!

Linda Milliron-Coveleski- yeah I so thought about doing that to, but I have to stay up anyway to wait for the hub to get up for work....so I might as watch misery.....lol

Traci Taylor- You'll have to let me know how my dreds girl does. I just can't watch this anymore. Worst Idol I've ever seen and I've been watching since the first show.

Linda Milliron-Coveleski- I sure will let you know....have a great night

Chris Brzozowski Free- Hand in my Pocket! She ROCKED!

Trisha Smith- I AGREE CHRIS!!! SHE WAS GREAT!

Linda Milliron-Coveleski- crystal your "dreds" did good......

Traci Taylor Yeah- I caved and kept it on to see her. I'm a sucker for Alanis and think Crystal did a great job on that song. Only girl tonight I actually liked.

Marcie Simkins- I thought I was the only one who thought it sucked....

Let's hope the boys do better tonight. If they don't, I think I may boycott the whole show this year.

Where's The Erase Button?!?

Ever have one of those days you wish you could rewind, erase and start all over? That was my day yesterday. It started out ok, but somewhere took a wrong turn and ended up horribly. What an emotional wreck I was. I don't know...maybe it was just because I wasn't feeling well or because I was tired, but everything seemed to heap on my shoulders all at once and I was completely overwhelmed. I'm thinking the 2 or 3 pots of coffee I drank didn't help...I still have the jitters today. So glad yesterday is over and today is a new day and (yea) I'm not feeling overwhelmed.

World's most fattening recipes....

Hate dieting? Then, this is the cookbook for you. The Daily Telegraph says a collection of the world's most fattening recipes have been assembled for a new website. Thisiswhyyourefat.com features instructions on preparing dishes like chocolate covered bacon maple doughnut bars, funnel cake fries with icing dip, and something called the double coronary burger.If that's not enough, how about a pork belly stuffed with bacon, sausage and ground pork, wrapped in more bacon, and sculpted in the shape of a pig? The website also invites fans to submit their own pictures and recipes. Have to warn you though...if you're like me and have a weak stomach, this might not be for you....I checked it out this morning and let's just say...it's a good thing I didn't eat breakfast because it could have been worse.

Think celebs don't understand what it's like to have a "real" job?

Think again...

•George Clooney - In his native Kentucky, Clooney sold men's suits and shoes and worked in department store stockrooms. He also cut tobacco, earning $3 an hour. Upon arriving in L.A., he did odd jobs for his aunt, singer-actress Rosemary Clooney, worked construction and cleaned a theater to pay for acting lessons.

•Katie Couric - CBS' perky evening anchor landed her first job as a desk assistant at ABC, where she worked for veteran news anchor Sam Donaldson.

•Ellen Degeneres - "The worst job I ever had -- and I lasted a half a day -- was I worked in a glove factory in Atlanta, Texas. It was horrible. I was checking for too many fingers or a hole or something and gloves would just go by ... Everything I did that was a nine-to-five job I hated ... I worked in a law firm. I was a court runner. I just hated being in an office."

•Faith Hill - Way before she was Mrs. Tim McGraw, selling more than 30 million records and earning countless awards, Faith Hill was trying to make it big in Nashville. Hill sold T-shirts at the renowned country music event Fan Fair, worked as a receptionist at a music-publishing company, and packaged fan merchandise for country legend Reba McEntire.

•John Krasinski - Before he was making us wish he worked in our office, John Krasinski was a script intern on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

•Vince Vaughn - If Vaughn ever decides to change careers, he could probably be pretty successful going back to his first job. Before he was a "Swinger" or "Wedding Crasher," the actor who's known for his quick-and-slick talking performances, worked as a telemarketer in Waukegan, Ill.

•Denzel Washington - His very first job at a local barbershop when he was just 11 years old. "I learned about business ... Just about the value of a dollar," Washington said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." "I was brushing collars. I think my base salary was $11. And I could turn that into 50 if I was good."

LIVE & LOVE LIKE NEWLYWEDS

It's easy to get stuck in a "love rut." Ya know....living life the same way day after day with no excitement. Wanna change that? Well, Dr. Schwontkowski, author of the book "Partners for Life--50 Ways to Keep Your Love Honeymoon Fresh Forever" has some suggestions:

Plan and serve foods and beverages your lover likes. There are several ways to a man's heart, the stomach is one of them. The same holds true for women, and savvy guys and gals will take advantage by taking the time to prepare those favorite snacks, meals and refreshments as a token of their love.

Don't be stingy with the whoopee. And try to select love locations that your partner likes or finds adventurous and exciting. You don't always have to "go to bed."
Talk with your lover, and prepare yourself in advance for conversation that lasts awhile. If you have trouble starting a conversation, rely on topics that everyone is interested in and knows a little something about: Food, fond memories and friendly gossip come to mind.

Compliment your lover honestly, lavishly and often, both when you are alone and with other people. Whenever your lover does something that you appreciate, say so. Make sure you find something to praise every day, even if it's just "Thanks for putting the cap back on the toothpaste, dear," or "My don't you look good in that sweater."
Touch your lover's "oohhh baby" spots -- even when you're in public. Be discreet, but send a strong signal that you can't keep your mind -- or hands -- off your sweetie.
Don't think you have to be a centerfold to use this strategy -- you don't.

Give your lover a stress-busting massage every day. With practice you can go head to toe in five minutes, bonding all the way.

Have you written any love letters lately? If so, keep it up. If not start now -- and don't stop.

Say, "I love you," at least twice a day and even more when you can squeeze the words in. Everyone needs to feel loved and needed. Enough said.

Regularly set aside time to romance your lover for hours on end. This doesn't include regular morning or late-afternoon walks together, which are highly recommended for your health and for bonding as a couple.

Make your lover laugh every day. Practical jokes dished out in the spirit of fun can work wonders for a relationship. Or you can get up a few minutes early and find the best comic strip in the newspaper you can share.

Sexy At Home Date Night

Things are tough these days with the economy and everything. So, instead of expensive dinners and nights out, a lot of couples are finding creative ways to keep their "date nights" going at home!

Here's just one of Redbook's ideas for a cheap-but fun- stay at home date:

Have a cheese tasting. Go to a cheese shop or deli counter and pick out some new cheeses you haven't tried- step outside your comfort zone! Buy some crackers or bread and a favorite wine, some grapes or other fruit (apples go well with cheese).

At home, set the mood with candles, music or a romantic movie. Do some things you don't normally do at home (like using your good dinnerware or having fancy cocktails).

Burn calories at work? Yup! You can!

Finding time to go to the gym can be tough when your day is already jam-packed. So, when you don't have time for a workout, here are some ways you can burn calories at work ...

1. Make the most of your commute. Walk or bike to work, if you can. If you use mass transit, get off a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way. If you drive to work, park at the far end of the parking lot. Every little bit helps!

2. Stand! You burn more calories standing than sitting, so try standing while talking on the phone. Eat lunch standing up. Take brisk walks around the office when you can.

3. Get social. Organize a lunchtime walking group when the weather is nice. Even a 15 or 20-minute walk each day can make a difference.

4. Pick up the pace. If your job involves walking, do it faster!

5. If you travel for work, plan ahead. Waiting in an airport? Take a brisk walk through the terminal. Choose a hotel that has a gym or pool or bring equipment with you.
