Sick of staring at the same plain yoga mat while doing downward dog? Take a cue from Halle Berry, who’s been toting Yogamatic’s floral “Arum” mat ($85) to her classes. Not only is the line eco-friendly (the mats are made from degradable materials and a percentage of the profits go to environmental organization Global Green), but you can customize yours with your own images on their Web site.

Eating well is all about practicing portion control. If you love chocolate but have it on your no-no list, try the new Dove chocolate bars ($1.99), which come in three individually wrapped portions (at 180 calories each). Fans of the bars (available in six flavors) include Grey’s Anatomy star Chandra Wilson and 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord. An added health benefit: An ounce of dark chocolate daily helps regulate blood pressure and increase blood flow to the heart. Eat a little now, and you’ll thank yourself later!
