When you think of beautiful hair, do you think of Gwyneth Paltrow? How about Tracy Anderson? The pair, who have teamed up in the past on diet and exercise ventures have found another thing to do together. Open a blow-dry bar!

The two celebs are teaming up with David Babaii to open their very own blow dry bar inside Tracy’s Brentwood Studio.

Is the Blow-Dry bar the new celebrity fragrance? It would seem so. Shortly after Rachel Zoe and business partner Robin Moraetes opened Dream Dry in NYC, we caught wind that Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson were headed down that same perfect hair path, teaming up with David Babaii to open up a gorgeous blow dry bar within Tracy’s new Brentwood studio.

“We are so excited to have partnered with David Babaii on the blow dry bar that we’ll be offering to members of our flagship studio located in Brentwood, CA,” Tracy Anderson tells Cosmopolitan.com. “As our members transform themselves into the women and men they want to be [in the studio], the David Babaii team will design a hairstyle customized for their face shape and lifestyle, as well as a product regime of what to use to keep them looking their best while [they're] on the go.”

Prices are yet to be decided for each hairstyle, but we can assure you there will be a ton to choose from between sleek and wave-based blow-drys to more elaborate braids and updos.

So here’s the deal: The blow dry bar opens April 4, along with the Tracy Anderson Studio’s opening, and right now memberships are limited and filling up. So, if you live in the area and are interested, email info@tracyandersonmethod.com for rates and availabilities.

So it will be a blow-out by inside a gym? That’s genius, not gonna lie. Would you pay for a blow-out after hitting the gym?

Celebrity weddings; there’s a reason why magazines pay the big bucks to gain exclusive coverage to these events. Everything from the wedding breakfast menu to the bride’s choice of dress can provide an incredible insight into the kind of relationship the couple have.

Nothing quite captures the style of the couple more than the choice of song for the first dance. Whether you’re an A-lister or just an everyday member of society, everyone will assume that your wedding song represents your relationship, so it’s important to pick one that reflects you both as a couple!

It’s one of the most memorable parts of the entire day, so choosing can be tricky. You could check out some of the choices made by the celebs for inspiration if you’re grasping at straws for your own wedding.

‘At Last’ by Etta James is one of the most popular first dance songs across a whole spectrum of celebrities. Everyone from Gene Simmons & Shannon Tweed, to Chelsea Clinton & Marc Mezvinsky has chosen this romantic classic, meaning it’s going to be a sure-fire hit.

If you’re looking for a little more up market inspiration, take a lead out of Kate Middleton & Prince William’s book with ‘Your Song’ by Elton John. Likewise, other wealthy inspiration can come from Mark Zuckerberg & Priscilla Chan who had ‘Last Night on Earth’ by Green Day as their first dance number.

There are some songs you may was to skip if the length of marriage is anything to go for. ‘City by the Bay’ by Journey was the song of choice of Britney Spears & Kevin Federline, while Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries ironically chose ‘Let’s Stay Together’ by Al Green.

Some celebs actually chose to use their own songs as their first dance. Paul McCartney & Nancy Shevell danced to ‘My Valentine’ sang by the groom, while Beyoncé & Jay Z boogied to ‘Crazy in Love’ which was the pair’s first collaboration.

I saw a video posted on the Diamond Manufacturers Facebook page of Tom Fletcher, who turned a number of McFly songs into a wedding speech for a heart-warming and tear inducing thank you to his family, friends, and wife. It could’ve been cheesy, but luckily it was possibly one of the best speeches I’ve ever seen!

Diamond Manufacturers are actually a great company to check out if you’re still looking for inspiration. They recently recommended a list of 50 first dance songs that offered a great range of classic, traditional, and alternative pieces that is great to suit everyone and help you choose the perfect one.

Holly Madison has a PLAN. A plan to get back into shape. A plan that’s only going to take six weeks.

“Right now, I’m just concentrating on healing and eating healthy,” says Holly, who gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy. “I had my placenta turned into pills. My baby nurse said it would help me recover faster and get back on my feet.” And Holly’s not going to cut herself any slack when it comes to regaining her pre-pregnancy body: She’s aiming to be back down to her pre-baby weight of 110 pounds in just a month-and-a-half.

“We’re putting a gym in our house, so I’ll be doing yoga, Pilates and cardio,” reveals Holly, who tells In Touch she will stick mainly to green smoothies, coconut-yogurt, teas and vegetable stews.

Looking forward to returning to work, Holly figures she’ll need to be in top form to do another Las Vegas show. “I think that would be a perfect schedule for me. Just go down the street, do the show for a couple of hours, and then be back with the baby.”

While some Hollywood moms turn to plastic surgery, not Holly — at least not yet. “I want to have more kids,” she tells In Touch. “Maybe when I’m done, that will make sense.”

I think it’s great she has a plan to get back into shape – but SIX WEEKS!? 40 pounds in six weeks? Is that even healthy? Is placenta pills the answer?

How about you? How long did it take you to lose your baby weight? Me? I’m going on twelve years!

Kim Kardashian spent her Sunday getting acupuncture done. “Oh just relaxing….” Kim posted on Instagram

The 32-year-old reality star shared the painful-looking photo of herself with needles sticking out of her face.

What was the reason Kim was getting acupuncture done? Beauty reasons? Morning sickness?

Kim’s got a thing for unconventional beauty treatments. Recently the reality star underwent a vampire blood facial. The treatment includes injecting your own blood into your face. “I love trying anything that makes you look and feel youthful,” Kardashian said.

GROSS.

The L’Oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur is a unique product. The product itself is very dense, it felt like a non-greasy Vaseline. For how dense it was it worked nicely into my skin and instantly left a matte finish. My skin felt silky smooth and my pores were less visible. 

I like how this looks with or without makeup and the fact it has SPF 30 makes it great for days where I don’t want to wear makeup but just need a bit of perfecting. Definitely a unique skin product and for the warmer months this will be great in lieu of foundation.
