Originally published in The Huffington Post

Since Pinterest launched in 2011, brides-to-be have used the website to keep track of inspirational wedding-related pictures. But currently, Pinterest doesn’t allow users to “pin” anything but photos -– meaning there is no way for users to save articles and documents that may be equally useful in planning their weddings.

That’s where Clipboard comes in. Launched in May 2012, Clipboard is a free online service that allows users to take screenshots of virtually anything on the web and save them to their “clipboard.” The fairly easy-to-use site markets itself as an extremely useful wedding planning tool — so we decided to try it out. Read on to find out what we thought of the site.

We totally love our OB-GYNs, but mammograms? As necessary as they are, we gotta admit they’re not the most fun part of our day. But what if we told you researchers have discovered a way to detect breast cancer years before (and with a higher accuracy) than routine mammograms?

Excuse us, but we may have just heard the sound of millions of women jumping for joy!
It might seem too good to be true, but listen up: the Breast Tissue Screening Bra may be the next breakthrough in the battle against breast cancer. This sports bra-like garment detects early signs of cancer by measuring changes in cell temperature and breast tissue. When worn continuously, it has been shown to spot breast cancer as many as six years before traditional screenings would have, with a 92.1% accuracy rate (as opposed to mammograms’ 70% accuracy rate). Now that’s amazeballs!

It’s as much of a holiday tradition as dreaming about Colin Firth in Love Actually: that post-holiday freak-out when you realize just how many times you went back for seconds at all those parties and potlucks.

But get this: The holiday season doesn’t have to wreak havoc on your waistline! Rowdy Yates, fitness manager at Crunch Gyms, let us in on the secrets to staying trim despite those holiday temptations.

All right, we have a confession to make: one of the reasons we love yoga (besides its uh-mazing health benefits and how it completely transformed our abs) is the excuse it gives us to wear totally cute workout clothes. There’s nothing like a comfy, super-slimming pair of yoga pants to get you psyched and moving your booty!

Workout wear company Mika completely gets how important stylish clothing options are for women on the go, and their line of yoga pants, shorts, and tops are beyond adorable. Mika embraces the differences between women’s bodies — meaning their pieces can actually make you look sexy while working out! Who knew it was possible to do both at the same time?

We all know Marilyn Monroe said diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but our favorite blonde (besides Alex Pettyfer, of course) must have been too distracted by the sparkle to remember that — hello! — shoes are a girl’s best friend! Really, is there anything more sacred to a woman than her collection of sexy heels, girly flats, and fierce leather boots?

Of course not! And what’s one of our all-time fave shoe shopping destinations? JustFab of course! The uh-mazing, trend-setting online retailer is a one stop shop of total shoe fabulosity!

Raise your hand if your favorite part of the Academy Awards is choosing the best- and worst-dressed stars on the red carpet! (We’re raising our hands, just so you know.)

After watching hundreds of gowns make their way down the red carpet, we’ve learned a thing or two about what it takes to make the “best dressed list” (hint: sheer tops and blue eyeshadow don’t work). In the slideshow below, we compiled the top 10 fashion do’s and don’ts we’ve learned from Hollywood’s biggest night.

Study shows a 21-minute writing task can improve your marriage

While millions of couples spend hours trying to learn how to improve their marriages through books or therapy, one recent study found that sustaining a happy marriage may only take 21 minutes, a pencil and a piece of paper.

A Northwestern University study set to be published in “Psychological Science” later this year surveyed 120 married couples for two years about their relationship satisfaction, and asked them to describe their most significant recent arguments. During the second year, half of the couples were also asked to complete three seven-minute writing tasks — one task every four months — in which they wrote about the arguments they’d had in the preceding months from the perspective of a theoretical neutral third party who wanted the best for all involved. These couples were found to have greater relationship satisfaction than the couples who did not participate in the writing task.

Lead author Eli Finkel, a Northwestern psychology professor, talked with HuffPost Weddings about why this 21-minute writing task was so influential in sustaining marriage quality.

Originally published in The Huffington Post and in Huffington Magazine

The wedding photographer is a couple’s eyes and ears throughout the Big Day, often capturing moments the newlyweds won’t even know about until they flip through their photo album weeks later. So instead of asking newlyweds which of their photos is their favorite, we decided to turn the tables and ask the photographers themselves.

We asked 16 top wedding photographers around the country to choose their most memorable photo and share the story behind it. Though it was tough for all of them to pick just one, they shared gorgeous, meaningful photos and gave us all the behind-the-scenes details.
