Some days, it’s a struggle to carve out 30 minutes for exercise. An hour? Forget it.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are one Hollywood couple with whom we’d love to hang. Apart from serving up hilarious cultural commentary on a daily basis, the Emmy Award-winning Ellen host had us in stitches during the 2014 Oscars.

And because the weekend got us thinking about food, we decided to round up some brunch recipe ideas to help satisfy our weekend cooking and baking urges. After all, brunch practically doesn’t exist during the rest of the week—so we’re going to

Naomi Watts is an inspiration to us all. The Academy Award-nominated actress and mother of two has three films slated for release in 2014 (St. Vincent De Van Nuys, While We’re Young and Birdman), all of which are comedies, proving once again that the leading lady isn’t afraid to step outside her comfort zone. To top it off, Watts

The Olympic Games in Sochi are officially underway and the world is excited to follow the most widely televised (and most expensive) Games in history. Even for the Olympics aficionados amongst us, there’s a lot of things we bet you didn’t know about the Olympics. In addition to enjoying your family’s favorite events, we have a fun, edible

Many of us have our workout obsessions. From pounding the pavement to hitting our favorite Soul Cycle class, these exercise regimes keep us healthy and sane in the midst of our on-the-go, overly busy lives. Between cooking and Christmas shopping, it can be hard to find a spare minute, but it’s even more important to make time to exercise during
