Barnabas Du Plessis, 41, is a lifelong builder and reigning Mr Universe. As is obvious from his rippling muscles, his training regime is gruelling and he recently switched to a vegan diet.

It’s Prom Season! And What Better Way To Celebrate Than Seeing 14 Celebs Embarrassing Photos

Prom represents an exciting time in the lives of high schoolers, unless of course you were one of those seniors who couldn’t possibly manage to be bothered by attending prom because it lost its appeal by your last year. If only those seniors realized that, with the exception of graduation, prom is the last time they’ll ever be in the same room with all their friends together. But what about high school reunions, they wonder. Those don’t count. You’ll be seeing your friends not as you remember them, but as their older, fatter (usually), less fun selves…that is unless they happen to end up as celebrities!

It turns out, having strong, healthy nails isn’t just good news for your manicure—unpleasant nail symptoms could also indicate bigger health problems.  7. PALE NAILS The problem isn’t so black and white when it comes to white nails. If your fingernail beds are looking a little ghostly, you may have anemia, a blood disorder characterized by a low red blood cell count. “Anemia resulting from low levels of iron can lead to inadequate oxygen in the blood, which causes the skin and tissues to become pale, particularly the tissues under the nails,” says Shilpi Agarwal, M.D., a board-certified family medicine and integrative and holistic medicine physician in Los Angeles. Be sure you’re consuming good sources of iron, including green leafy vegetables, beans, and red meat, to boost your levels.
