Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Supermodel Karolina Kurkova tells you how she got her figure back after giving birth six months ago, and a celebrity trainer shares tips on how to get rid of cellulite. Plus: stars' favorite product for instant summer legs.
Stay in shape despite your pregnancy like Karolina Kurkova
Admittedly, the supermodel's tips - shared with W Magazine - might work better if you have a personal trainer and not much else to do with your time than looking great. But apart from the Tracy Anderson DVD that anyone can buy (Kurkova swears by her workout as do countless other celebrities), the interview might inspire a healthier lifestyle during your pregnancy to bounce back into shape much more quickly.
"I think the secret was really staying active throughout my pregnancy," she said. "I did Pilates, a lot of weight training, I walked a lot and I traveled. [...] I was eating really healthy, taking good supplements and vitamins, drinking green juices and just making sure I was putting the best stuff in my body. [...] Obviously you want to try to give it more natural foods, and fruits, good vitamins, fish oils, fiber. Lots of fiber when you're pregnant!"

Get rid of cellulite with workout guru Jackie Warner
Celebrity Beauty Buzz has posted Warner's top three tips how to deal with orange peel skin:
"1. Drink three liters of water a day with lemon juice - this prevents water retention which is the main cause of cellulite.
2. Stay away from processed and fried foods which hinder circulation and cause ripely bumps!
3. An apple a day... keeps the fat away! Snacking on an apple, which contains pectin - detoxifies the body."
Warner's book This Is Why You're Fat (And How to Get Thin Forever) is available on amazon.com.
