And the award for Best Laughter goes to...

I watched last night's Oscars with friends curled up on the couch in sweats (all of us looking considerably less glam than the stars walking the red carpet). That is to say, no gowns by Rodarte (like gorgeous Natalie Portman above left - source: http://oscar.go.com or Cartier jewels (bedecked Amy Adams above right - source: http://oscar.go.com/) but according Fitness Magazine, last night's Academy Awards show laughs (Dance of the Brown Duck, anyone?) gave us a healthy (gorgeous) glow! The "Get Gorgeous" article on page 33 of the March 2011 issue says, "A case of the giggles causes blood vessels to relax, boosting blood flow to your skin for up to an hour...This rosy flush is just as radiant as the one produced by 30 minutes of aerobic activity." Fitness Magazine cites Michael Miller, M.D., chief investigator of the University of Maryland School of Medicine study. So we have the Oscars to thank for more than a wonderful celebration of film, inspired beauty and trend-setting makeup (more on that later this week) - the funniest moments also made us more gorgeous and a-glow.
