WIW2B: Danielle Braverman

0
0
Danielle Braverman is the quintessential California Girl. With her blonde hair, blue eyes and sunny disposition, she always has a smile on her face. Even when she's dealing with the ups and downs of her modeling career, and the challenges that balancing her career and motherhood can present, this model keeps on smiling and thinking positive.

Recently, Danielle has made headlines worldwide after going public with her eating disorder.

"I was often told by my agency that I needed to lose weight and to do 'whatever I needed to do.' They even pointed me in the direction of a place that would prescribe me diet pills and B6 shots," Danielle recounts of her experiences as a straight size model, early in her career.

I remember one time when my mom was out visiting me in LA and she saw me and immediately said 'Danni! You have gotten so thin! You are too thin now!' And that entire trip she was trying to get me to eat more, but I was very rigid about what I would eat. I wouldn't even eat an apple because it had too many calories, and I was trying to maintain a size 2/4. I didn't realize it at the time, but she said I was very lethargic and didn't have a lot of energy (due to not eating enough). I probably wasn't very much fun to be around.


Though the pressures of trying to stay thin enough to get booked out as a straight size model drove her to unhealthy habits, Danielle eventually decided that enough was enough.

Here is Danielle at her current weight, a healthy size 14.

Danielle says of her decision to quit modeling and get healthy:

After hearing over and over again that you are not enough, it really wears on you. Also, I was so sick and tired of watching every crumb I put in my mouth, because I love to eat. It was torture to have to focus on food 24/7 and to not be able to enjoy it. I just wanted to go back to being a normal person, and if that meant I couldn't be a model, then I was ready to let it go! After I let it go, I was happy that I could live normally and healthy, but I missed modeling because I loved the artistic side of the business.


Though Danielle was able to get healthy again, she missed the creative outlet that modeling provided.

"Modeling has always been my dream. I have always creatively expressed myself through fashion ever since I was a little girl, and I have always enjoyed it! I would 'model' my clothes around the house when I was young," she describes her natural love of fashion.

True to her personality, Danielle didn't let the setback of hitting the "pause" button on her modeling career get her down. She kept smiling as she took care of herself and established her family, and kept a space for that dream until the timing was right.

She says of beginning her career as a plus size model:

As my body gradually got back up to my natural size and I had my children, I was in such a good place, physically and mentally, that I decided I should start modeling again! When I was signed as a plus size model, I was over the moon that I was able to be myself, embrace my shape and still live my dream.


Danielle has had great success since getting back into the modeling game at a more healthy size! Her beautiful shape has been all over American and European plus size fashion events, campaigns and print media. And she is a source of inspiration to many since sharing her experiences with her eating disorder.

"I was touched by the responses from women who have had lifelong struggles with eating disorders and were inspired by my message. It made me feel as if I made the right decision about going public with my experience and sharing what my experience has been like on both sides of the modeling world."

Although the majority of the feedback has been positive, there are always a few haters that chime in on body positivity stories like Danielle's.

"There were some people criticizing me and questioning whether I should have been a model in the first place saying I wasn't thin enough even back then, and that surprised me!" she says of the naysayers.

But this lady has way too many things to smile about to let a few negative comments get her down! And as a mother trying to balance her career and her family, she doesn't have much time to focus on stuff that doesn't involve staying on top of things so that she can "have it all."

She says of her approach to having it all:

I surround myself with an A+ team. I have a very supportive husband, an amazing preschool and an exceptional nanny. Without them, I wouldn't be able to travel as often as I do and leave town at the drop of a hat! I always put aside time for my family and make sure that everything is taken care of and everyone is happy! I plan everything out for the family before I leave town. I am very organized, and I think that helps me manage my life.


"I have one son, age 4 and one daughter, age 3. They are both in preschool now. The school has so many events and unfortunately I have had to miss -- I have missed recitals and other events, but luckily, my husband is able to be there for the events I miss, and he sends me photos and videos!" she says.

Danielle posts a selfie during her travels, keeping up with her followers. But her heart is really with her family!

"I try to stay as connected as possible. Even when I am halfway across the world, I am facetiming with the family and emailing teachers. All of the teachers know I travel often, so they text me photos of the kids and keep me up to date."

Being both a mother and a model who work internationally means that Danielle has to shift gears dramatically from week-to-week. But her laid back, sunny attitude enables her to do this without driving herself crazy.

"I try not to stress too much. I naturally have a pretty laid back personality, so I have the mentality that 'everything will work out.' I also don't put pressure on myself to be perfect, because who needs that! I surround myself with a supportive team. I have to lean on others because I travel for my job, so I believe that 'it takes a village'," she smiles as she describes her approach to juggling her multiple roles.

What does this model have to smile about in 2016?

"I have a long list of brands and designers that I would love to work with. I take every opportunity that is given to me and I work my hardest to be all that I can be. I believe that hard work equals success. Luck is only a very tiny part of that. So, in 2016 I plan to accomplish A LOT!"

Allison Williams' New Bangs Make Her The Spitting Image Of Jane Birkin

This was one slumber party we'd like to have crashed.


Allison Williams debuted new bangs at 3:20 a.m. on Thursday, a happening that could occur during any regular old late-night hang out session between friends. Unlike any regular old late night hang out session, of course, was that Williams' friend doing the cutting was beloved celebrity stylist (and Jennifer Aniston bestie) Chris McMillan.



It's 3:20 am and @mrchrismcmillan just banged me ‼️ ✂️ #PastMyBedtime

A photo posted by Allison Williams (@aw) on




"It's 3:20 AM and @mrchrismcmillan just banged me," Williams captioned a photo of the new look. In a second shot, she explained she wanted bangs "for a character she's about to play," and we can't help but wonder if that character is Jane Birkin.


The similarity was first pointed out by McMillan himself, who captioned an Instagram of the cut with the tags #latelatenightcuts and #janebirkin. A quick look at Birkin circa 1960 serves as proof -- the resemblance is uncanny! 



All he needs to do is give Williams some highlights and they'll really be twins. Until then, we'll be waiting for our invite to the next late-night hang.

Oprah Winfrey Has Taken A Pretty Amazing Hair Journey Through The Years

When you're the host of an iconic television talk show, people tune in to hear what you have to say and see what you're wearing. Oprah Winfrey knows this all too well, as the brains and beauty behind her namesake show. 


Winfrey is known not only for her revealing sit-down interviews with politicians, musicians and actors, but also for rocking some extraordinary hairstyles. As she laid the groundwork in the '80s and '90s to becoming a media titan, Winfrey styled her tresses in super-layered haircuts. Entering the aughts, the Mississippi-born star transitioned toward sleeker blowouts and soft ringlets. Now, Winfrey has fully embraced her natural curls thanks to her longtime stylist Andre Walker. This transition left a particular celeb in disbelief that Winfrey's hair was indeed real, as Walker recalls.


"One great memorable moment I have, is when Chris Rock was on 'The Oprah [Winfrey] Show' promoting his movie 'Good Hair' and was surprised to find out that Oprah wasn't wearing extensions," he explains. "It showed that all of the care that I had given her hair over the years to keep it healthy, worked!"


So in celebration of Winfrey's 62nd birthday today, we reminisce over her shocking hair evolution from super straight to thick and curly. Which look do you like best?

How 9 Couples Brought Their Faiths Together On Their Wedding Day

Planning a wedding is notoriously stressful. But for the growing number of people who are falling in love with a partner of a different faith, a wedding can come with the added challenge of trying to decide how to honor their two (or more) religions.


Should couples have one ceremony that brings their faiths together, or two separate events? Who will officiate? How much say should the parents have?


The Huffington Post reached out to nine interfaith couples who spent weeks thinking about these questions. From using a Muslim peace greeting during a Catholic ceremony to reading poems by the Sufi mystic Rumi in both Persian and English, here are some of the creative ways these couples celebrated their religious identities on their big day.

Model Responds To Dudes Who Send Her Dick Pics By Telling Their Girlfriends

Senders of unsolicited dick pics, beware.


Emily Sears, an Australian model based in Los Angeles, is one of countless women who have to deal with online harassment in the form of unsolicited NSFW images



A photo posted by #EMILYSEARS (@emilysears) on




So she decided to respond to the gentleman senders by reaching out to their girlfriends. (An example of her public shaming can be seen in the NSFW tweet below.)


"The message we really want to send is that this happens to so many women, not just models with a following," she told The Huffington Post in an email Friday. "I've had girlfriends of mine deny men on dating apps, only to have them search for them on LinkedIn and other profiles, sending completely inappropriate messages." 


Sears, who has 2.3 million Instagram followers, said the responses she receives from the girlfriends of the offenders have been "mixed," ranging from "ignoring to heartfelt gratitude."


"I think once I provide them with the information it's their choice and right to decide what they want to do with it." 


 Ultimately, Sears' aim is to do her part in stopping online harassment. 


"We just want to remind people to take accountability for their actions online, and stop saying and doing things online that you wouldn't do in person," she added. "I think that extends even beyond unsolicited dick pics, to other forms of bullying and harassment."

Why I'm Taking The Look Good, Feel Good Challenge (And Why You Should, Too)

0
0

When you hear the word beauty, what do you think of?


For me, it's complicated.


On the one hand, I associate the word with a physical product -- a scientific creation like lipstick or cologne meant to make you feel attractive and confident the second you put it on.


But on the other hand, beauty to me is wellness. It's an intimate relationship we cultivate within ourselves. It's a state of happiness that's completely divorced from material things. This kind of beauty is not as tangible as lipstick, but it's just as real. 


Coming to terms with this two-sided, seemingly conflicting definition of beauty is exactly what HuffPost's 30-Day Look Good, Feel Good challenge is about. The challenge is to explore what beauty means, for both women and men, while developing good physical habits. 


Why am I taking the challenge, you ask? While beauty is already a big part of my life as a lifestyle writer, I'm taking the challenge to go back to basics. I want to re-learn how to wash my face the right way. I want to make an effort to drink more water. I want to unpack about how I perceive myself on the inside and how it affects me on the outside.  


This is why you should take the challenge, too. Beauty doesn't have to be intimidating. It doesn't have to be about using expensive grooming products or booking hour-long facials. Beauty is in the little things. It's about moving toward your best self, inch by inch. 


In the next 30 days, starting on Feb. 1, I'm looking forward to learning about the best foods to eat for better skin and how to take good care of my hands. I'm excited to get on a better sleep schedule and pay more attention to my eyebrows when I do my makeup. I'm also pumped, and a little scared, to hear about the impact of alcohol on your complexion. The more you know, right?

If you're the type of guy that grooms by the book -- no stranger to a face mask, and following up every shave with a skin type-specific moisturizer, plus a layer of sunscreen -- then you know exactly how difficult keeping it all up can be. From the high cost of supplies, to the time spent applying each according to its own instructions, to the space required in your medicine cabinet to fit the whole kit and caboodle, proper bodily maintenance ain't exactly a walk in the park. That a lot of guys throw in the towel, forgoing necessary steps and choosing cheap drugstore options over their hyper-specific counterparts, should come as no surprise.

But there are ways to streamline your routine and still manage to look your best. It all comes down to multi-tasking. By choosing creams, pomades and serums that pull double duty, you'll cut back on expenses -- and save precious moments every morning. Here, a few multi-purpose alternatives for the man who's looking to simplify his life.

She wears fur coats that reportedly cost $3,500

And she's was featured in Vogue before she hit most of her developmental milestones:







Yeah, she's living the life. And as one might expect, her closet is not that of your average 3-year-old. Her mother Kim Kardashian confirmed this with an Instagram photo of the tyke dressed up as Minnie Mouse (she's a big Minnie fan), while playing in her walk-in. And as we suspected, her closet is probably bigger than yours -- it's bigger than ours. 



It's gonna be a long night...

But even with a closet the size of a small New York City apartment, the kid is going to have to upgrade soon. Kardashian previously revealed she has a "full archive" of everything she's worn that's just waiting for North when she grows up.


Now, that will be one hell of a closet.

The Real Reason to Change Up Your Hair Part

0

By Lindsay Colameo, Allure

2016-01-29-1454102882-5689884-middlepart.jpg

When I was a kid, I thought I was stuck with a middle part forever. A group of older girls in my dance class told me that since I'd never changed the way I parted my hair, it would stay that way for the rest of my life. It was a straight-up case of beauty bullying, but for the longest time I truly believed I would never be able to wear my hair in any other style. Years later, I'm happy to report I've been able to part with the middle part (pun intended) and flip my hair every which way. And during a recent visit to the salon I was encouraged to switch it up yet again, this time for a reason I hadn't even considered.

"The longer we wear the same part, the more we wear the hair down in that area and cause breakage," explains Annie Rush, a hairstylist at Eva Scrivo Salon in New York City. Exhibit A: the pesky baby hairs that poke up along your part despite every effort to keep them tamed with hair spray, pomade, or a flatiron. "These cover-up techniques tend to strip the hair of keratin, leaving a little white bulb at the bottom of the broken hair that won't recover itself," explains Rush. "Whenever my clients complain about small breakage that won't grow, I know they're Band-Aiding with alcohol and a hot tool. The fix might be good for the time being, but the damage will be three times worse than when you started." The best way to disguise these annoying flyaways? Changing up your part.

Switching your part is actually good for the hair. "You're not allowing the hair to fall in the same position every day, and in turn, the roots are upright and breathing," says Rush. You're also giving certain areas a break from the daily singe of a flatiron. "Too much heat in one spot can decrease the porosity of the hair. This causes dry spots, which will spit out any color or nourishing treatments you put on those short broken bits," she explains.

Making the switch is especially important for those dealing with traction alopecia, a form of permanent hair loss due to constant tension on the hair. "This is often seen in women who have pulled their hair back tightly in braids for years," explains Carlos Wesley, a cosmetic surgeon and hair-loss specialist in New York City. "What starts as subclinical [not apparent] inflammation ends up becoming permanent, scarring hair loss. This is not, however, something that occurs by simply parting your hair and letting it fall to the side of your head."

Looking to switch things up a bit? Find your best middle part in less than ten seconds. "Brush the hair back away from your face and let it fall naturally. It will probably settle somewhere near the center. For instance, mine falls a half-centimeter to the left," says Rush. And that's OK. It doesn't have to be dead center, despite your mom's precision growing up. If you find a new part that you love, you can train your hair to fall that way naturally. Dampen the hair at the roots before you go to bed. Then part your hair where you want and brush it in place, creating a low ponytail or braid for overnight. "Do this every night for one week, and your new part will do its thing without your help," says Rush.

A Major Retailer Is Starting To Make Its Plastic Packaging From Air Pollution

0
0

The Body Shop is about to start pulling the plastic for some of its packaging from thin air.


The eco-chic cosmetics chain -- founded 40 years ago by the late environmentalist and British socialite Anita Roddick -- said Thursday that it plans to use a special plastic composed of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere to make bottle lids and containers for its popular body butters. By 2020, the new packaging should reduce the company's use of plastics made from oil by 70 percent.


"It just kind of blew us away," said Simon Locke, an environmental sustainability executive who has spent a decade at the L’Oreal-owned retailer. "To me, it just shows you that the potential out there is huge."


A company called Newlight Technologies creates the plastic, which is produced using methane collected from farms and natural gas refineries. The gas is then contained in a 50-foot reactor, where enzymes absorb the carbon and oxygen and rearrange the particles into a solid plastic, dubbed "AirCarbon." That substance is melted down and dried into translucent pellets that can be shaped into, say, a hockey puck-sized container for moisturizing cream.  





This profile of Newlight aired in 2014 on "CBS This Morning" shows how the company converts carbon emissions to plastics. 


"We’re turning packaging into a force for good," Newlight CEO Mark Herrema told The Huffington Post by phone from the company’s facility in Costa Mesa, California. "Packaging protects our products, but what if it also had the ability to protect the environment?"


Plastic waste has become a global catastrophe. The oceans will contain more plastics than fish by weight by 2050, estimates a study released earlier this month by the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Seabirds, whales and other marine life eat plastic pollution and die by choking, intestinal blockage and starvation. When fish eat tiny plastic particles, it can affect animals higher in the food chain, including humans.


Polymers made without oil have existed for centuries, but plastic became ubiquitous with the widespread use of petroleum throughout the 20th century. Methane is a particularly ethical source for plastic because the gas is 21 times more harmful to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, so absorbing it helps curb the runaway effects of human-triggered climate change. 


Newlight didn't invent plastic methane, but it claims to have developed the cheapest proprietary method of producing it.  


The Body Shop's announcement comes as the company is poised to launch a multipronged campaign aimed at reclaiming its reputation for being as driven by its politics as its profits. Under Roddick’s 26-year stewardship, the firm set a new standard for "retailing with a conscience" on a huge scale. The company sourced the ingredients in its products to indigenous farmers in developing countries, who used eco-friendly growing methods.  


The Body Shop became a political advocate, too. In 1993, the retailer banned all products tested on animals. Three years later, it gathered 4 million signatures on a petition to end cosmetic testing on animals in the European Union. By 2004, the ban had gone into effect.


For the last two years, under CEO Jeremy Schwartz, the company has been quietly plotting out a way to reclaim its crown as the corporate leader in environmental consciousness.


"We see these as very much a start," Locke said of the AirCarbon containers and lids. "This is our first key innovation for a number of years."


The Body Shop is currently testing the material to make sure it won't deteriorate or warp over the product's shelf life. It requested that Newlight make its packaging nonbiodegradable so it could be reused rather than break down and spew carbon back into the atmosphere. 


"We would rather promote the reuse of the packaging, rather than disposing of it," Kate Levine, the Body Shop's director of commitment and corporate communications, told HuffPost by email. "We're now working on a long-term business model where customers will be able to return packaging to our stores with the aim of it to be reused." 


Incentivizing customers to return plastic containers that actually combat pollution could be a major step toward building the sort of low-carbon economy necessary to avoid the worst effects of climate change. In 2010, 2.7 percent of total U.S. oil consumption was used to make plastic products. Of the 191 million barrels consumed in the United States, 190 million barrels were used as raw for plastics. The other 1 million were used as fuel to manufacture those products, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. 


"So much plastic out there is coming from virgin petroleum," said Lewis Perkins, interim president of Cradle to Cradle, an institute that advocates for sustainable manufacturing. "The future of cradle-to-cradle design is to capture plastic that's already out there in the world."

The SAG Awards Red Carpet 2016: Check Out All The Stunning Looks

Ah, the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Probably the most underrated award show of the entire year. We don't blame people for forgetting about the SAG Awards, but you should pay attention, because this is the red carpet where stars are more apt to take style risks and try new trends, since not as many people are watching -- we all remember Kerry Washington's maternity crop top of 2014


And tonight, Hollywood delivers again. Laverne Cox was a breath of fresh air in a Prabal Gurung wine-colored gown, Kiernan Shipka was ever the fashion-girl in Erdem and Sarah Hyland was a vision in a strapless blue number. 


Check out the most memorable looks of the night and let us know if you have any favorites.

Brie Larson's SAG Awards Dress Is Baby Blue And Beyond Beautiful

All eyes are on actress Brie Larson this awards season, so it's no surprise that she was vision of beauty Saturday night at the 2016 SAG Awards


Fresh off the heels of her Golden Globes win, "The Room" star, who is nominated for a leading actress SAG honor, stepped out in a baby blue-hued Versace gown with an intricately twisted neckline and rhinestone detailing. Larson wowed in a sexy gilded gown already this year at the Golden Globes, so this look is a bit of a departure from that ensemble, but still stunning. 


What do you think of her look?

Carol Burnett received the SAG Life Achievement Award Saturday night, as well as the approval of women around the world.


The 82-year-old arrived on the red carpet in a green embellished outfit, small hoop earrings and a pair of cozy Ugg slippers, which retail for $120.



The iconic comedian slipped into black pumps for her walk down the carpet, but the move to wear shoes typically associated way more with comfort than style is still undeniably badass, no matter how long it lasted.



Burnett joins a long list of admirable celebs who have forgone heels at a major event. We're just happy she wasn't at Cannes.

Nicole Kidman always makes waves on the red carpet, whether it's her actual curly hair or her risky, yet chic gown choices. 


At this year's SAG Awards, Kidman packed on the ruffles and reveled in mermaid-like sparkle. Clad in a Gucci dress, Kidman lets the rest of her radiate with golden blonde hair and simple makeup. Peep that manicure, though!


She's up for the award for Outstanding Performance in a Television Movie or Miniseries for her role as Grace Kelly in "Grace of Monaco." 


See the glittery gown below.
