Does your guy run for cover when “that time of the month” is near? Do you need Midol at the drop of a hat? Four new iPhone applications promise to take the guesswork out of PMS…for your man! Code Red, PMS Buddy, PMS Meter, and IAmAMan are all designed to track a woman’s menstrual cycle. (The co-creator of Code Red calls his app “…each guy’s personal, color-coded Terror Alert System.” Seriously?)

Each app works a bit differently, but the basic idea is the same. Simply enter the start date of a woman’s most recent period, and the program will provide special alerts for each phase of their cycle. Think “a female symbol with devil horns,” or “hilarious sound effects.” (You can’t make this stuff up!) Some programs, like PMS Buddy and IAmAMan even allow a guy to track more than one woman. That’s gross. Period.

This is slightly disturbing to us. Clearly, a man was involved with creating these applications. Thoughts?

Congratulations, RacerGirl313, you’ve won our Berry Ball giveaway! Thanks to all CS readers who entered!

Be sure to check out our latest giveaway: a pair of 6126 leggings by Lindsay Lohan. Click here to enter.

Not to brag, but I have a bra that’s to-die-for. I love to wear it, but hate to wash it. I know, it sounds totally “ick,” but give me a chance to explain. Throwing it in the washing machine is out of the question. The lace would just be destroyed. What if a button or zipper got caught on it? Not to mention the risk of warping the shape and the underwire, or puncturing the squishy push-up stuff. (Hey, I’m not ashamed!) I’ve hand-washed the pretty piece, but all that splishing and splashing in the sink can get messy. Plus, wringing out the water-bogged fabric is a recipe for undergarment disaster!

Ladies, I’m happy to report that I’ve found a solution: Berry Perry’s Berry Ball. Besides having a totally cute name, this contraption makes it possible to throw bras in the washing machine without getting your panties in a bunch. The Berry Ball looks like an oversized Christmas ornament. Simply un-hinge it, place your bra inside, and throw it in the scrub-a-dub-dubber. A floating rubber ball sits inside the shell and gently massages your bra during the cycle, helping to release any dirt and grime.

I honestly don’t know how I survived without this thing! Unlocking it after the wash was like opening a present. There was my bra: clean, practically dry from the spin cycle, and perfectly in-tact. There were no tangled straps, stretched out material, or pesky lumps and bumps. No doubt about it: When things are “all shook up” in the washing machine, Berry Ball will keep your unmentionables safe! And here’s a bonus…the cleaning set comes with a Berry Bag to place your pretty undies in!

Yes, I wish I could put more than one bra in the Berry Ball, but that just means I’ll have to buy another! At $13.99 a piece, it’s totally worth it!

Ready for the GIVEAWAY? One lucky reader will win a Berry Ball Complete Bra and Panty Cleaning Solution Set. You get to pick the color: pink, blue or purple. Simply leave a comment below. Open to residents of the United States and Canada only. This giveaway ends Wednesday, June 30th. Click here for another chance to enter on GALtime.com. Good luck everyone!

From picnics to barbecues, swimming to sunbathing, Summer festivities are enough to put a smile on anyone’s face. But chew on this: everything from the type of water you swim in to the seasonal foods you eat to the shade of lipstick you wear can affect those pearly whites. A smile is one of your best accessories, so why not keep it bright and healthy ? We’re totally drooling over these tips from Dr. Ramim Tabib and Dr. Elisa Mello of NYC Smile Design. Check them out!

Ocean vs. Pool

Chlorine, which is often used in swimming pools, can erode and weaken teeth; whereas, the ocean’s salt water decreases bacteria in the mouth providing a healthy oral environment, making ocean activities your optimal choice. If you are exposed to pool water more often, you should get a fluoride treatment or bonding treatment with a chemical coating to protect and strengthen the enamel.

Another tip for swimming in a chlorinated pool? Try to keep your mouth closed. If you find that your eyes burn and are red, this is a sure sign that the PH of the water is too acidic and that you should avoid swimming there.

Limited Sun Bathing

There are many reasons why people shouldn’t lay out in the sun, but when it comes to teeth, casual and limited sun exposure is beneficial as it increases Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential to maintaining a healthy smile.

Refreshing Summer Snacks

Fruit is always a popular summer snack, so it is important to know which fruits are better for your teeth. Watermelon helps clean teeth and gums due to high water content, but citrus fruits like clementines and grapefruit can cause erosion. If you love citrus fruits, rinse your mouth with water after you eat to wash away the harmful acids that can weaken the enamel.

Strawberries are considered natural remedies for teeth whitening. Rub them on your teeth daily to remove all stains. Rubbing the inside of an orange peel on your teeth can also help whiten, or try brushing teeth with a mixture of apple cider and vinegar.

Natural Remedies For Teeth Whitening

Create homemade whitening strips by making a paste from toothpaste and baking soda. Spread the mixture aluminum foil and cover teeth with the foil. Leave the mixture on for an hour and brush teeth afterwards. If you do this twice a week, your teeth will be noticeably whiter.

The MTV Movie Awards were held last night, and the fashion was nothing “short” of fabulous. Celebrity style expert Vanessa Antonelli of NessaLeeStyle.com! gives Celebutante Sisters the red carpet report.

During the MTV Movie Awards we saw an unexpected dance, some fun performances, lovable movie stars that hadn’t been out in a while, TV stars that have worn out their 15 minutes and even heard a few funny jokes. However, when thinking back to the one thing I learned, it’s that when the hemlines get short, the girls head to MTV. If you didn’t know before, you do now. Less fabric and more leg is the way to go this summer! Check out some of last night’s ladies in order of longest to shortest:

Scarlett Johannson

Eva Mendes

Audrina Patridge

Amanda Seyfried

Whitney Port

Vanessa Hudgens

Kristin Stewart

The ONLY person in a dress longer than Scarlett’s was Lauren “Lo” Bosworth in a maxi dress. If you’re inspired to go very mini this summer, these collections that will help you on your quest:

Here comes….wedding season! From getting a gift to "hitch"ing a ride, it’s easy to celebrate our planet while you celebrate the bride and groom. Here are some tips from Lynn Colwell and Corey Colwell-Lipson of CelebrateGreen.net.

If you’re going to attend one of the more than two million weddings happening this year in the U.S., you may find the event is surprisingly eco-friendly. Wedding magazines and blogs are abuzz with ideas to help brides and grooms who want to take impact on the planet into consideration when planning their big day.

But whether a wedding is “green” or conventional, it’s easy to be an eco-conscious guest. No need to show up in a dress made from last year’s magazines. (While a fun idea, it would certainly grab attention from the bride, a definite no-no whether the wedding is eco-friendly or not!) Instead, simply consider each aspect of the wedding in which you’ll participate and think about how you can make greener decisions.

Giving green

Start with the gift. If the couple signs up with an eco-friendly shop registry or asks for donations to a cause they support in lieu of “stuff,” you’ve got it made.

If not, check for eco-friendlier items on their registry. For instance, they may have chosen a set of bamboo bowls or wool blankets. Look for items that are locally produced instead of made and shipped from overseas. These may not have been selected because they’re eco-friendly, but who cares? If they are greener choices, you’ll feel great picking them and the bride and groom will be happy as well!

When giving a tangible gift, avoid conventional wrapping paper. The Carnegie Mellon Green Practices initiative says that “If every American family wrapped just three presents in reused materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.”

Why buy paper from virgin trees when there are so many great alternatives—fabric made just for wrapping, silk scarves, a map from the honeymoon destination, tree-free or recycled papers, and seed embedded wrapping that can be planted once the gift is opened, to name a few.

And when it comes to ribbon, embellishments and cards, alternative choices can make your gift beautiful and guilt-free.

In many circles, it used to be considered crass to give cash for weddings, but these days, money really is green. Just be sure to offer bills or a check and not gift cards which, for the most part, are made of plastic, ultimately are tossed and never degrade. (Even if the plastic is made from PLA—theoretically compostable plastic card’s magnetic strip will stay around a lot longer than many marriages!)

Getting there the greenest way

One of the most impactful decisions you can make is whether to attend the wedding or not. Flying across the country for a day is not the most eco-friendly move you can make. But if you decide to go, you may want to purchase carbon offsets.

If you live close to the wedding venue, walk or carpool if possible. Even if you drive alone, you can volunteer to have other guests travel with you between the ceremony and reception.

With bikini season around the corner it’s time to shape up and tone that midsection. YogaWorks instructor Sadie Nardini guides CS readers through three quick poses that will flatten your abs and bring out the best in your summer beach body.

Yoga targets not only your superficial abdominals, but the deeper core muscles that are often neglected in traditional abdominal excises. Sadie’s unique poses will reach all six abdominal muscles, working to effectively transform and firm the midsection.

1/2 CROW PLANK

From Downward Dog, lift your right leg into the air. Bend the knee, and sweep it forward to your outer, upper right arm. Squeeze and hold as you round your back, firing the inner thighs, hip flexors and front abdominals. Hold for 5 breaths, then return to Dog Pose and switch sides.

Bonus: This is an excellent arm and shoulder sculpting pose too!

Beginners: Place the ball of your right foot on the floor, and/or the back knee down, but still engage the leg in and belly up.

FLYING BUTTRESS

From Downward Dog, lift your right leg up behind you. Exhale, bend the knee and bring it into your chest as you round your back sky-high. From your core, spin onto your outer left foot, and step your right foot halfway up the mat in front of you. Lift your right arm to the sky and keep the hips lifting for a super side-waist sculpting pose. Hold for 5 breaths, then return to Downward Dog and repeat on the other side. After your last Flying Buttress, come into Dog Pose.

Bonus: Play with lifting the bent leg’s foot off the floor, and then ground that one, and try to lift the straight leg for an extra-credit inner thigh workout!

Beginners: Keep both hands down or place your left knee down on the floor for added support, but maintain the lift of your hips and waist!

DIVING WARRIOR

From Downward Dog, lift your right leg while you exhale and draw the knee into the chest, rounding the back and holding the hips high. Using your core strength, step the right foot to the right thumb. Ground your back foot down, toes facing slightly forward. Exhale, and use your belly to pull yourself upright with your palms together at your chest. Inhale, curl inside your front knee and lengthen your chest. Exhale, pull up over your legs, twisting towards your back leg as your arms straighten and reach back into your side bend. Repeat this wavelike motion 5-10 times for a full all-abdominal workout in one move. After your Diving Warrior, return to Downward Dog, then repeat on your left side.

Bonus: This pose transforms your legs, thighs and gluts along with your abs.

Beginners: Do this move with your back heel up and knee on the floor, and/or only wave as low or high as you need to keep your back comfortable.
