Dr. Susan Rehm and Anna Post discuss flu prevention and proper etiquette Candace Rose: Dr. Rehm, lets start with you- can you tell us about the Centers for Disease Control's "Take 3" approach to controlling flu prevention? Dr. Susan Rehm: "The CDC has a very nice way to remember some of the big three things that we should do to help keep ourselves well, and in particularly to prevent influenza.

As a lover of CHANEL and wine, I'm ashamed to admit I had no knowledge of the winery that Chanel has owned since 1994 named Chateau Rauzan-Segla. The winery was founded by Pierre de Rauzan in 1661 and was bought by the famed French fashion house in the mid 90's. I'm proud to announce they are lanching their 2009 vintage in March with a beautiful label designed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. This Grand Cru Classé will hit retail in March at fine wine purveyors nationwide for $129 (available now for pre order) The beautiful label Karl Lagerfeld designed in honor of the 350th Anniversary of THE GRAND CRU CLASSE MARGAUX

Beauty Expert Jenn Falik Candace Rose: What were some of the hottest trends from the red carpet at the Golden Globes? Jenn Falik: "On the Golden Globes red carpet we saw so many beautiful looks starting with hair.

Madonna for one really embodied this look. She had an edgy dress but her hair was really feminine and flowy and beautiful. Madonna on the red carpet at the goldne globes Claire Danes and Shailene Woodley also did these updos that didn't look overdone, really effortless, beautiful; all styled with Wella Products. Claire Danes Updo Shailene Woodley So these are definitely attainable looks because you can get these products at salons, and I love the warm, glistening tones in their hair. The second big trend was a retro sixties thing with a modern vibe; so...
