Everyone knows that neon is "in". But what not everyone knows is that neon yellow is the king of the trend. Neon yellow just yells "Look at me!" and "I NEED attention!" If you wear and pair it right, it's a fabulous, fashionable way to catch someone (or everyone's) eye! Use this bright, popping attention-grabber to get "Damn, she looks good!" looks instead of "Wow...bright..." looks.
 
Too much neon (of any color) can be overwhelming! But sometimes, even a small pop of neon yellow can bring an outfit together. Here are some sets that perfectly balance it and showcase the wonderful world of neon!

Watermelon is not only a delicious fruity treat, but a great, low-calorie snack that has many health benefits and quickly fills you up! You can find it almost year-round in stores, but you can only really trust it during summertime. Here are some great facts and interesting things about watermelon from fatburningfurnace.com!
 
When summer rolls around everyone loves to get their hands on the crunchy pink stuff: watermelon. But it turns out that watermelon does a lot more than quench your thirst on a hot summer’s day.
 
Although summer is when watermelons are at their best, they are readily available all year long in most areas. Read on to find out what watermelon nutrition facts can offer your fat burning efforts.
 
Watermelon Nutrition Facts
 
Eating your fruits is an important part of any well-balanced diet, but watermelon in particular has so much to offer. Watermelon nutrition facts show us that one wedge has 86 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, no cholesterol and less than 1% of your daily value of sodium.
 
But watermelon does provide you with 22 grams of carbs, 2 grams of protein and 5% of your daily value of fiber, a healthy recipe for fat burning and weight loss. With 18 grams of sugar, watermelon is a great way to curb a sugar craving.
 
Watermelon nutrition facts reveal this fruit as a jack of all trades; providing healthy amounts of virtually all essential vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and C are available in high quantities in just 1 wedge of watermelon, providing 33 and 39% of your daily value. Vitamin B6, pantothenic acid and thiamin are also provided in significant amounts.
 
Aside from sodium, one wedge of watermelon can give you at least 2% of your daily value of all minerals. Potassium, magnesium and manganese are provided in the highest amounts, with other minerals in much smaller amounts.
 
How does this translate to health benefits?
 
Health Benefits of Watermelon
 
One of the main health benefits of watermelon is its status as a powerful antioxidant, found in vitamins A and C, which helps to neutralize free radicals than can lead to inflammation, general sickness and chronic illnesses such as stroke and heart attack.
 
The beautiful pink color of watermelon, due to beta-carotene, is a powerful ally against many types of cancer, particularly colon cancer. Lycopene, a carotenoid found in abundance in watermelon provides additional cancer fighting health benefits of watermelon.
 
The high water content of watermelon is part of what gives it fat burning benefits, helping to make your metabolism work more efficiently. With a healthy amount of fiber and protein, your body will still work harder simply processing watermelon.
 
To be sure, watermelon works best for fat burning as part of a well-balanced diet, but you can rest easily that most of the calories in watermelon will be burned quickly after consumption.

Now the vintage trend has been "in" for what seems like FOREVER. Great sites that supply fashionable, vintage clothing are hard to find. But there are some out there, and they really are the best.
 
Modcloth and Etsy are my personal favorite, as they have everything from fashion to housewares. Not all of it is vintage, but if you look, you'll find it. Take some time out of your day to visit either or both of those sites. It'll be worth it!

A great set that shows some of the things essential for air-travel is one by analaura @ http://analaura.polyvore.com/!
 
You can find the fab set here: http://www.polyvore.com/traveling_essentials/set?id=23032156
 

Models are the queens of airline travel –
 
transporting to multiple different locations per month for photo shoots and runway walks is part of their job. Whether you travel by plane, train, bus, or car, traveling can take its toll on your appearance and there’s no question that traveling is stressful. Trying to look good while you’re traveling is pretty much on the top of the stress-o-meter.
With just a few travel beauty survival tips you can face your next vacation, business trip, family homecoming, or even that weekend getaway with a smile!
 
AVOID JET-LAG
 
When you board, try to adjust to the time zone of your final destination. It can be helpful to set your watch to the destination so you can mentally set up your sleeping/waking habits while flying.
 
PREPARE YOUR BODY
 
Try and stay away from salty foods and alcohol. Eating foods like fresh vegetables and salads will help to hydrate the body and keep you feeling light and less bloated. Drinking lots of water before you fly (and on board the plane) is important as well to help prevent dehydration. Also, prepare your skin by mildly exfoliating the morning of your trip to remove dead, dry cells. This will also help the skin more effectively absorb your moisturizer. Then apply a thick layer of a highly absorbent moisturizer and eye cream.
 
“Typical relative humidity in an air craft cabin for flights over an hour is below 10%, dropping to less than 5% on longer flights.” According to the Journal of Environmental Health Research
 
FOLLOW AN ON-BOARD MAINTENANCE PLAN
 
It might be boring, but it’s pretty basic: avoid drugs and alcohol, try to stay away from coffee and soft drinks and eat as little as possible because the altitude and pressurization of the environment puts undue strain on the digestive system. Hydrate your body inside and out. Try herbal tea if you get tired of drinking water.
“Spritzing” the skin with a facial mist is a great way to keep skin hydrated without having to touch it. Always have a salve with you for lips and hands.
 
MOVE AROUND
 
It’s very important to “exercise” on board, especially on long-haul flights. You need to keep the blood flowing in order to prevent blood clots. Every couple of hours or so, stretch your legs by strolling the isles, or at least do leg lifts in your seat. Take advantage of the time waiting in line for the restroom by stretching and squatting a few times.
 
MAKEUP TO GO
 
Use a tinted moisturizer instead of cover-up, foundation, powder, etc — they’re just not necessary and moisturizer gives you a great natural glow
• Tidy your eyebrows
• Liquid shimmer your foundation
• Don’t forget a highlighter!
 
Pack the perfect in-flight bag;
Make sure that containers with creams, drinks, perfumes and gels not exceed 100ml, and that they all fit in one clear plastic bag. This will mean downsizing your beauty essentials. Trial sizes are also a fantastic way of getting all you need on the plane with you.
 
Essentials:
• Lip balm
• Hand cream
• Eye cream
• Eye drops
• Skin refresher spray
• Deodorant
• Nail file
 
JET-SET HAIR
 
Do some prep work: Apply a deep-conditioning treatment before you leave — it will give your hair fantastic shine. Stay sleek: In humid conditions hair can tend to go frizzy. Comb a silicon serum through your hair before landing. Pack protection: You will be out in the elements most of the day — be it in the sun or snow, look after your locks.

Celebrity Scoop part.2//Katy Perry & Russell Brand: The One That Got Away
 
Breakups are never easy -- especially if they're caught on camera.
 
The final moments of Katy Perry's 14-month marriage to Russell Brand are chronicled in the pop star's new documentary, Katy Perry: Part Of Me (in theaters July 5). In the revealing film, the "Wide Awake" singer admitted: "Being in love is a dream, but the reality is not like the movies. There's a lot more compromise and sacrifice."
 
Prior to their split, Perry, 27, informed her management team that the longest she was willing to go without seeing Brand, 37, was two weeks; she often flew to wherever he was working to spend three or four days with him.
 
At one point, a frustrated Perry learned she would be going 18 days without seeing her then-husband. "Where are my relationship days?" she asked, looking at her jam-packed schedule.
 
The constant traveling became more problematic as time went on. "She'll fly to wherever Russell is," a team member said in a voiceover. "She's running herself ragged."
 
At one point in the film, a makeup-free Perry sat on an airplane, looked into camera and admitted: "I'm trying to keep my marriage alive."
 
After Brand filed for divorce in December, Perry was visibly and understandably upset. "The truth is I'm a romantic and I believed in the fairy tale. . .I did everything I could but it still failed," she said. "The dream of being in love is a lot different than the reality of making it work."
 
But Perry, ever the optimist, quickly changed her tune: "I've got a second chance at a brilliant life."

6/22/12- Celebrity No. 1: Miley Gets Cheeky & Engagement News
 
Miley Cyrus can't be tamed and neither can her boobs and buns.
 
The actress and singer shunned undergarments yet again, letting it all hang out in Los Angeles. The 19-year-old was spotted running barefoot across a road wearing a sleeveless pinstriped shirt that exposed her entire side and showed off more than just her dream-catcher tattoo. Exactly one month later, the actress and singer wore a just-as-revealing pair of shorts to American Apparel along with a tight wife beater. To tie it all together, she was -of course- braless.
 
Cyrus' daring fashion choices coincide with her arguably conscious effort to distance herself from her Disney past and try and be a mature adult- a grown up.
 
And it's clear that the former "Hannah Montana" star is all grown up. A marriage can certainly change people- for the best, and for the worst…"I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Miley Cyrus told People, with the couple's reps confirming their engagement took place on May 31.
 
Cyrus has been dating the "Hunger Games" star, Liam Hemsworth (22), since 2009, after they starred together in "The Last Song." Hemsworth covered the March 2012 issue of Details magazine, and he opened up about his relationship with Cyrus.
 
"What happened happened, and we've been together two and a half years," he said about falling for Cyrus on the set. "She makes me really happy. When you start, you want to be professional, but when you're filming those scenes with someone and pretending to love them, you're not human if you don't feel something."
 
The wedding date has not been announced, which is no surprise as the engagement itself was just days ago. The Polyanthusa Post will keep all the Miley-fans up to date about what we hope to be a memorable, long-lasting marriage between two mega-stars! ( Let’s hope this marriage lasts AT LEAST longer than 72 days [cough-cough-Kim Kardashian-cough] )
