These days, it’s not hard to find bad news about girls who, sadly, don’t feel beautiful. In a Girl discount tiffany Research Institute survey earlier this year, 90 percent of the teen girls questioned said they couldn’t measure up to “beauty” standards. But there’s great news among New Moon Girls: When asked to define beauty, our readers gave loads of happy answers. Our girls are eager to tell about their inner beauty – the only kind that keeps us feeling happy and fulfilled – that shines out in creativity, courage, and compassion.

Of course, every girl is beautiful in her own special way (find your unique “beauty secret” on p. 16), and that’s a message we need to spread far and wide. We’ve been brainstorming ways that you can help us get the word out! Lucky for us, we’ve had lots of great new brainpower lately, because 20 new girls have joined the Girls Editorial Board (GEB)! You can see all the girls now on our biggest-ever GEB listed on the inside front cover. Yay, GEB girls, new and old!

Here are some FUN, easy ways to spread the inner beauty message:

Send every beautiful girl you know Join in our “Wear The Pants Day”! this issue!

It’s easy, because the whole issue is available free online at NewMoon. com/magazine. So Tiffany Necklaces, tweet, Facebook, phone, mail, and Pony Express that gift to every girl you know, so they can discover their unique inner beauty And don’t forget about adults who care about girls – family parents, coaches, and teachers, too!

Throw an UnFashion show!

Let’s face it, we all care at least a little bit about the clothes we wear, and that’s absolutely fine creative expression. So picture this: You and a group of friends put on your favorite outfits and strut down the “runway” as you tell a bit about why you love them. Your favorite could be anything from the scuba gear that lets you enjoy the deep sea to an elaborate costume or dress-up outfit to the incredibly comfy PJs you live in! Check our Online Extras for UnFashion Show tips.

We’ve picked Friday, June 1 1, to celebrate our freedom to wear pants and to show some Tiffany Rings for girls in other places who don’t have that freedom. (On June 1 1, 1964, the Equal Pay Act was enacted, mandating that women receive equal pay for equal work.) Did you know that when many of our moms and grandmas were girls, they were forbidden to wear pants at school and other places? Even today in the U.S. and other nations, women are discouraged or prohibited from wearing pants in certain settings. And it wasn’t that long ago that women like Amelia Bloomer (see p. 22) were ridiculed and arrested!

If you’re a girl who thinks that females everywhere deserve the right to wear what they choose, wear your pants on June 11, and tell everybody else to join you! Look for our activism kit and wacky-but-true pants facts in our Online Extras!

And don’t forget to nominate yourself or another beautiful girl in our new online gallery of Beautiful Girls!

It’s super-easy and quick, and it will help inspire other girls everywhere to celebrate their Tiffany Key Rings inner beauty that shines out every day.

While comedians often joke that the coffee chain seemingly has a store on every street corner, Tiffany’s hit the trifecta on a less-than-one-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard.

The 173-year-old New York City based-company celebrates the grand opening of its third Strip location today at the tiffany jewelry retail and dining district inside CityCenter.

The 10,000-square-foot, two-level store, which had a soft opening in December, fronts the Strip with an 85-foot-high glass facade and an entrance from the sidewalk.

The Crystals location continues Tiffany’s marriage with the gaming industry and the Strip’s tiffany bracelets retail centers. The company’s two other Las Vegas stores are in the Shops at Via Bellagio and the Forum Shops at Caesars.

You don’t need to train for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon to visit all three Tiffany’s. They are minutes apart.

Tiffany’s, known for its distinctive jewelry, diamonds and its trademarked Tiffany Blue packaging, owns multiple stores in several cities, including Los Angeles and New York, where it still operates its flagship building on New York’s Fifth Avenue. The company has 79 stores in the United States.

The full report, to appear in the print edition of the Journal of Consumer Research in April, says tiffany and co shoppers can become triggered to indulge, unknowingly, by walking into a store and accepting a sample of chocolate from a salesperson. Valentine’s Day shoppers will obviously face this sweet tooth challenge.

The study looks at how people manage competing goals like eating healthy versus unhealthy, and being frugal versus being a spendthrift. In a series of eight tests, involving close to 300 study participants each, Laran and Janiszewski used chocolate truffles to examine what triggers such behaviors.

“We gave the participants a chocolate truffle and had them eat it versus resist it,” said Laran. “We then observed how much they desired certain food items and found that if the goal of indulging was activated by eating the sweet, participants tended to keep pursuing that goal (of indulgence) until they felt it was met by eating more and more truffles. The participants also showed a preference for fattier foods (ice cream, pizza, and chips) versus healthier foods (a salad, apple, and granola bar) when indicating how much they wanted a series of food items at the moment.”

Additional findings are as follows:

– Conversely, study subjects who resisted the truffle activated the goal

of healthy eating and showed a preference for healthier foods versus

fatty ones.

– In one experiment, those who enjoyed the first truffle also valued valentines bangles

non-food consumer luxuries, such as Apple computers, designer shirts,

high-end TVs and cruises as compared with those who resisted the

truffles.

– Once a goal was achieved, it was turned off, and a rebound occurred.

Participants who were given a subtle cue that one truffle was enough

were more likely to select healthy snacks. This “rebound

effect” was described by the researchers to be like a thermostat

realizing it made the room hot enough and therefore switching on the air

conditioning to cool it down.

“This research should speak loud and clear to stores selling Valentine’s candies this month,” said Laran. “It would be a necklaces very good idea to offer customers sample treats at the door but not to a point where they will think they have indulged too much. And, shoppers…beware!”

In addition, for those study participants who were told “good job” for resisting the urge of truffles, once they felt good about themselves for reaching their healthy-eating goal, the study shows that they then shut this healthy goal off and allowed their indulgence goal to rise to the surface. In this case, they wanted to eat the fattier food items.

Laran speculates that this may be why dieters so often rebound when setting a goal (“I want to lose 10 pounds”) and reaching it – this could unconsciously turn off the goal in favor of a competing one, like eating more.

“The secret to avoiding switching back to an unhealthy craving is to keep renovating the active goal so you never really reach it,” Laran said. “Instead of celebrating the 10-pound loss, renovate the goal to losing inches, or performing better in a physical test.”

One person even tried strapping the SCRAM to a cat in the hopes of being able to take a drink undetected. The attempt may have been creative, but it wasn’t effective.

“The machine said, ‘I ain’t buying this. That’s not a human heart,’” said Bob Moeller, a subcontractor for Polygraphs Etc. in Cheyenne.

A SCRAM, or Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor, is a sophisticated ankle bracelet some multiple and high-risk DUI offenders are ordered to wear in Laramie County to make sure they do not drink as a condition of their bond or probation.

The monitor is bulky yet lightweight and detects alcohol consumption through sweat around the clock at a rate of about once per hour.

If someone wearing the bracelet has a drink or tries to tamper with the device, it won’t be long before the court learns of the violation.

“One of the big issues that we have, alcohol is always the most difficult thing to catch if people are using it,” said Kurt Zunker, coordinator of the Laramie County DUI and drug courts.

Before SCRAMs, Zunker said, the traditional standby for preventing alcohol use was to pendants do surprise visits on a Friday and Saturday night and catch offenders with a breathalyzer test, a technique he described as ineffective.

The bracelet works in conjunction with a modem that is connected to a land telephone line that is usually placed at the offender’s home or work place. The modem processes information from the bracelet that is then sent over the phone line to a data processing center in Denver.

The DUI Court recently received a $36,000 grant from the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Program to fund the continued use of the SCRAM bracelets.

The court, which began operating in the summer of 2006, contracts with Polygraphs Etc. to help provide the SCRAM services.

Zunker said the bracelet can detect the difference between when a person drinks alcohol or has a small amount of alcohol in their system from a medicine. It keeps track of a person’s pulse and body temperature and registers an alert for fluctuations by a few degrees. An infrared device also detects the distance between the bracelet and the wearer’s skin to help prevent people from strapping it to something else.

“In the long run, it’s a benefit to the community, because we know that people who have been arrested multiple times for DUI are not on the road,” he said.

The length of time participants in the DUI Court have to wear the bracelet varies from person to earrings person. The program typically lasts a year.

Zunker credits SCRAMs for some of the effectiveness of the county’s DUI Court because the sight and constant reminder usually ensures participants immediately stop drinking.

“It gives you that initial buy-in, and then hopefully we can get you involved in drug and alcohol therapy,” Zunker said.

The DUI Court has had 43 people wear a SCRAM bracelet, and Zunker said between eight and 10 court participants are usually wearing the bracelets at any given time. To date, 23 of the 71 people who have participated in DUI Court have graduated.

Zunker said one person in the program and one graduate have been rearrested for DUI.

Moeller said he knows of several people who credit staying sober to the constant reminder key rings strapped to their ankle, including one woman who wanted to keep wearing the SCRAM after seven months because she believed it was all that prevented her from drinking again.

“It’s a reliable system,” he said. “You don’t get false readings, despite what some of the clients might say.”
