Harry Styles has a new flame—and he's already met her family!
The 19-year-old One Direction heartthrob recently started dating 33-year-old Kimberly Stewart, a source exclusively confirms to E! News, noting that both are "very happy."
"They were introduced by a mutual friend who set them up," the insider says. 'Kim is very strong willed, she goes for what she wants and Harry appreciates that. It is a very new thing and we'll see where it goes."
Moreover, "she is exactly his type," the source adds.
And Kim apparently had no qualms about introducing her new fellow to the fam: She and Harry dined last night at Dan Tana's in West Hollywood with her dad and stepmom,Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster; her brother, Sean, and his on-again flame,Adrienne Maloof.
"Kim and Harry sat next to one another" and he was "very cuddly with her," an eyewitness tells E! News. "He had his arm around her." The lad was also seen talking to Kim's pop-icon father for a while as well. 
Sitting this family gathering out, meanwhile, was Kim's 1 1/2-year-old daughter, Delilah, whose dad is Benicio del Toro.
A rep for One Direction had no comment; a rep Stewart has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Emma Stone’s Scrub Love; LACMA, Bottled; And More…

Emma Stone caused a rush on grape-seed oil last year when she revealed that she uses it as a moisturizer. Now, the Revlon spokeswoman, who is “really allergic to a lot of stuff,” has a few more DIY beauty remedies to share. “I exfoliate with baking soda or brown sugar,” says Stone.  

First, they brought us the “caviar manicure,” and now British nail brand Ciaté is introducing the “chalkboard manicure.” Its latest kit comes with a matte black polish and pastel chalky-finish nail-art pens for embellishment. 

Interior designer Olivia Putnam is the latest artist to put her own personal spin on Nina Ricci’s classic L’Air du Temps fragrance flacon. Available in May, Putnam’s rendition features the classic dove-shaped stopper in a shade of royal blue, with the same color running through the grooves of the crystal bottle.  

Speaking of artful fragrance offerings, this year’s Wear LACMA collection, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s annual range of fashion accessories created by Los Angeles designers and inspired by the museum’s permanent collection, includes a custom fragrance from L’Oeil du Vert perfumer Haley Alexander van Oosten. Inspired by an eighteenth-century bronze relief of The Triumph of Neptune and Europa, by Antonio Montauti, van Oosten’s creation is a sensual, botanical scent called Tonae.

Most Hated Beauty Chores

Most Hated Beauty Chores

Meandering through your personal jungle/maze of Ikea furniture and dirty socks with a vacuum may not be your idea of Sunday Funday, but for most women, the list of chores isn’t confined to the domestic sphere.  Translation: beauty chores.  We’re talking plucking rogue hairs that make you look like Bert’s long lost sister, or moisturizing your body after showering to ensure that you’re not booking  your first Botox appointment by the ripe age of 32.
So, which beauty chores do women dislike and how much time do we dedicate to preening and grooming over a lifetime? British beauty brand Escentual took a poll, and the survey says???
Shaving.
Women hate, hate shaving their legs, and this necessary evil will take up 72 days of their lives. That’s 4 minutes, 6 times a week, or 21 hours every year.
Other chores that made the list? Styling hair (294 days a lifetime), plucking eyebrows (30 days), removing makeup (52 days), and dying hair (23 days).
There were a couple of chores that surprised us.  For example, painting nails (20 days) and pedicures (11 days) also made the cut.
What’s your most detested beauty chore?

How Computers Effect Your Vision

Staring at a screen for hours without taking a break can damage your vision.  Here are some tips for maintaining your eye health while working in an office setting or browsing online at home!


Spectacle carries a range of lenses to help with your vision while using a computer, including Nikon Online. Nikon's Online lenses provide the kind of maximum close-range vision previously unthinkable.

By extending your field of vision laterally and towards the front, Nikon Online clarifies the focus of intermediate elements (up to 3 meters) such as a computer screen or person sitting across from you. This means that head and neck movements are minimized, eliminating eye strain and helping to alleviate postural fatigue. 

According to Nikon, "Today, the demands on our eyesight are greater than ever.  From professionals to hair stylists to programmers used to spending long hours in close observation, Nikon Online's effortless transition from close to middle-range distance is a tremendous asset."
Contact us at goodvision@spectaclelovesyou.com to inquire which lenses are best for you!
