2011 summer lovin

To kick off the new year, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed she'll be starting a CLEAN program by Dr. Alejandro Junger, loved by fellow A-listers including Demi Moore and Debra Messing. We caught up with Dr. Junger, who shared his advice on minimising the effects of party season on our bodies and talking us through toxins so that we can have a happy and healthy 2012.

Everyone knows that toxins are bad, but what are they exactly? Toxins can be of 2 kinds:

1. Endogenous: the waste products of our body's normal metabolism such as lactic acid, uric acid, homocysteine, etc.
2. Exogenous: the chemicals we add to our life such as preservatives, colouring agents, fragrances, sweeteners, antibiotics, fertilisers, pesticides, chlorine, pollution and more.

What’s a celebrity these days without a great smartphone? With all the sharing and tweeting of behind-the-scenes photos and insider news, celebrities can’t keep their fans updated about the latest events and parties unless they’ve got a handset that can do it all.

This is where the HTC Rhyme comes into the picture. Even if you haven’t quite joined the ranks of the A-list yet, you can feel like you’ve got it all thanks to a smartphone that was designed with you in mind. The HTC Rhyme, like most of us, is a multitasker — it has all the essential features needed to stay in touch and take photos, plus it also comes with a docking station that transforms your phone into an alarm clock and music centre. Find out about the HTC Rhyme’s cool accessories after the jump.

We’re all about looking good whilst going about our business. From doing the after-work-to-drinks dash, to organising a much-needed shop-a-thon with the girls, we like to stay in touch — in style. It can be hard to choose between fashion and function at times, but the HTC Rhyme handset you don’t have to.

Combining all the bits you need to keep your life (fashionably) on track, this palm-sized PA is so much more than a just a phone. Combining a killer camera, integrated ‘friend-stream’ (so you can keep track of who’s where, and when), nifty docking station that transforms the phone into a music centre and alarm clock, and an impossible-to-tangle set of headphones — the HTC Rhyme is all about streamlining your life.

Ever missed a call whilst hunting for your phone in the bottom of your (It) bag? Never again! The Rhyme’s petite handbag charm notifies you when you’ve got a call or text, and makes it a cinch to retrieve in a hurry. Makes you wonder why they didn’t think of that before?

Looking good this party season is all about prep work. From micro-managing your manicure appointments to ensuring your spray tans are always booked two days ahead of a big event, it’s all about figuring out where you’re meant to be when.

Enter the HTC Rhyme. Your new, ever-so-stylish lifesaver. A phone that doubles as a personal organiser and camera (very handy for checking to see what your foundation looks like on film), it’s been designed solely with you in mind.

With a docking station that not only charges, but also transforms your phone into an alarm clock (handy after a vino or three) and music centre included free of charge, it also comes complete with headphones that are virtually impossible to tangle — because, let’s face it, who has the time to detangle anything other than their tresses — and a light-up charm to notify you of incoming calls or texts so you don’t miss that all-important call, it’s both pretty and practical.
