A. Keys is Fresh-faced for Dove

Has anyone else been watching Alicia Keys in that "Fresh Takes" micro-series on MTV? I'm quite sure you have, since each three minute ep shares a coveted time slot with everyone's guilty pleasure, The Hills. So in case you were powdering your nose, on last night's episode, lil Lizzie was feeling all insecure about her body (as usual), so she decided to try out yoga to get that model perfect body she’s always wanted. Of course, she just ended up in a knot on the floor instead.

This is something I can totally relate to. I am on the constant search for new and exciting ways to torture myself aka lose weight. And I was really feeling Lizzie's pain because my latest greatest idea is Bikram yoga. Yes, hot yoga people. I have a friend who swears by it. All I know is that you do yoga in a room that's heated to 100 plus degrees. Profuse sweat and unnatural flexibility ensues. I'm not all that into yoga, but I do like steam rooms so I think that counts for something.

My first class is on Saturday! Has anyone tried it? Will I survive (you know I'm delicate)? Will I sweat buckets and lose pounds? And most importantly, what about my hair?
