Cupid’s Advice:
When you first get together with someone, it’s new and exciting. But when you’ve been with the same person for a long time, you can sometimes fall into what feels like a rut. Relationships can constantly change, and being with your partner for a long time doesn’t mean you can’t still experience new and fun things. Cupid has some advice on some ways to keep the spark in your relationship:
1. Recreate your first date: It can be fun to go back to the beginning, experience things all over again, but also see how much things have changed. Memories are important things and some we will cherish and remember forever, but that doesn’t mean we can’t go back and relive them. It could be fun to go “back in time” for a night and recreate the magic all over again.
2. Try something new together: What makes the beginning of relationship so exciting is the fact everything is new. So, trying new things together will keep things fresh and the fires burning. Do something you both have talked about doing or haven’t done yet, try activities like skydiving or try traveling somewhere you’ve never been, it doesn’t matter what you do just make it an adventure and something to remember.
3. Dress up for each other from time to time: Sure, you may already have that special someone in your life, but that doesn’t mean you should stop taking care of yourself or dressing up for them. Don’t just get all dolled up for date nights, try doing it sometime when you’re home and make a boring night turn into a romantic evening in. Having a little fun in your relationship, like dressing up for your beau, can help with keeping the passion alive between the two of you.

We all want to look our best, and that begins with managing our hair. With clients including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Tiegan, and Jennifer Lopez, Raphael Reboh definitely knows what he’s doing when it comes to achieving glossy locks. Whether it’s a celebrity in his chair or not, the stylist finds himself always stressing the same advice: Take care of your hair!
“Women often don’t take care of their hair as much as their skin, but they should,” he explains in our celebrity interview. “I find it weird that women will run out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of face cream that may not even work, but they won’t spend the same amount of money and energy on their hair. Hair is connected to the scalp, so it’s just as important.”
We’re all envious of the women we see on the front cover of magazines who seem to lose all of their baby weight as soon as they deliver their child. Some of us blame Photoshop because there’s no way these celebrities can drop those pounds so quickly. While other readers credit the rapid weight loss to plastic surgery. This method might be used among some of the famous stars we know, but some of them still enjoy getting their bodies back in the right way:

If there is one thing celebrities have in common with those of us who spend our lives out of the spotlight and away from the paparazzi flashes, it’s giving back. As a nation, and as individual people, we all have the ability to raise our country’s standards through strengthening the educational system, empowering youth, women, the homeless and the disabled, raising money for disaster relief, sustaining the environment and so much more.

Below are a handful of leading ladies who chose to make the most of their fame by creating successful empires–with the help of their supportive and loving husbands:

While our culture thrives on talent-less females to entertain us as we get out guilty reality tv fill, it’s more than refreshing to see celebrity gal’s with brains, and million dollar net worths, to give women back the reputation we deserve. All women are beautiful, bright and capable, and if the media would stop flooding its audience with Lindsey Lohan’s latest relapse, we would be able to hear more about celebrity women who make remarkable role models. Female power is certainly something to embrace and there are plenty of women in the spotlight who used their platform to build lucrative businesses. Below are a handful of leading ladies that chose to make the most of their celebrity, by making themselves successful empires, of course with the help of their supportive and loving husbands:
1. Bethenny Frankel: Reality star, entrepreneur, wife and mother, Bethenny Frankel, is easily envied by every woman in the world. By combining her passion for healthy, natural foods with her craving for cash, she developed and sold Skinnygirl Cocktails for over $100 million to Fortune Brands’ Beam Global in 2011. We were able to see Bethenny’s dream become reality over season’s of Bravo’s series, The Real Housewives of New York, and Bethenny and her husband, Jason Hoppy’s, own show, Bethenny Ever After. Together the duo brought Skinnygirl to life as Jason brought his background in finance to the table to ensure that Bethenny’s business would flourish, and it did more than that.
2. Tori Spelling: From actress to author to executive producer of her own show, with husband Dean McDermott, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, it’s no wonder she stays so skinny, she can’t possibly have enough time to eat. Coming a long way since her roll as Donna Martin on 90210, she happily resides in Los Angeles with her hubby, their three children and another baby on the way. She’s written four books with her first, sTORI Telling, on the New York Times Bestsellers list, operated a bed and breakfast with Dean, created a signature fashion and jewelry line and manages her own site, ediTORIal by Tori Spelling.
3. Beyonce Knowles: Bringing in a whopping $87 million a year is nice, but it’s even nicer once you’ve got rapper, producer, co-owner of the NJ Nets and entrepreneur, Jay Z, to put a ring on it, making their combined net worth over $800 million. This brilliant couple brings in the dough with their chart topping hits, but Beyonce also acts, designs, and models which is why she gained the #2 spot on Forbe’s 2010 list of 100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities in the World. Hollywood’s hottest pair showed off their business smarts when they trademarked their first child’s name, ‘Blue Ivy’ which is expected to become an empire of its own.
4. Lisa Vanderpump: Even if you knew her dog, Jiggy’s, name before her husband, Ken Todd’s, there’s still no denying that Lisa VanderPump’s bank account is as obscenely large as it is because of her adoring spouse and business partner. Born in England and a Real House Wives of Beverly Hills star, the Britt earned her $65 million net worth co-owning 26 restaurants with her hubby of 29 years. Hard work payed off as she now thoroughly enjoys her luxurious lifestyle while designing shoes and clothes, developing a skin care line and writing for Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine.
5. Jill Zarin: Entrepreneur, business woman and Real Housewives of New York City reality star, Jill Zarin and husband and businessman Bobby Zarin own a home furnishing and fabric store on the Lower East side. Recently Zarin has expanded her business to the fashion world, as she created ‘Skweez Couture’ a fashionable and functional shapewear line for women. She has also launched her own jewelry line and bedding line, ‘Jill Zarin Home.’ The couple’s business was big enough originally, but Jill’s most recent endeavors are expanding her empire even further.
