Think tattoos are sexy ... or sleazy? Well, to hear men's magazines and tabloid fodder (cough, Sandra Bullock) tell it, you'd think tattoos were part of a magical formula for an instant hook-up. About half of the women on "Maxim's" Hot 100 and "Playboy's" Top 25 Sexiest lists are inked (think Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry and Jessica Alba). Even Miley Cyrus and big-screen sweetheart Reese Witherspoon have reportedly boarded the tattoo train -- contributing to the trend's rise in popularity since the '70s. That said, there are still quite a few places in the U.S. where tattoos have yet to shed their stigma. See cities

Of all the wacky things sci-fi scientists are working on, whether it's creating adamantium-infused bones a la Wolverine, or perfecting human cloning, we sincerely hope they're also working on creating miracle skin care products that you can massage on your "troubled areas" to make cellulite instantly disappear. Though these wonder skin care products don't truly exist -- yet -- there are some cellulite and firming skin care products out there that Total Beauty readers say actually smooth skin and tighten thighs. But to be totally honest, fighting unsightly flab and dimples with creams and lotions alone just won't cut it. You must also eat right and dare we say it -- hit the gym. Which is exactly what many of these reviewers did. They paired the skin care products from the "best" half of this list with a healthy diet and exercise to get healthy skin and truly visible results.

Mmm, who doesn't love the feeling of taking a hot bath and melting all of the day's stress away? Some readers (especially working women or new mothers) might say there is simply no time in the day to take more than a 10-minute bath. For all of you busy ladies out there, this might be because you have never tried using a bath goody before. See products
