A trimmer Lara
Lara Dutta, the already gorgeous ex Miss Universe, has now lost whatever extra weight she thought she had. "I am healthier than ever before because of all the working out I have been doing and feel that I am in my best form ever. I now have a fit and lean figure, which I have achieved," she says.

By the way, we heard Rani's hired Kareena's fitness trainer for that in look!

The treatment: We are all familiar with the back pain that is so much a part of life in a metropolis. Long hours at the computer combined with rush hour traffic and other responsibilities can wreak havoc on anybody's back. Which is why you must do your back a favour and get the Bali Chic massage done. This whole-body massage especially focuses on one's shoulders, neck, back, chest and stomach. You can also ask them to focus on other problem areas like your feet.

This relaxing massage uses traditional techniques with thumb and palm movements to release tension and relax the body from head to toe. I could actually hear and feel the knots and kinks in my back dissolve! For a spa addict like me that was a first! You can choose any aromatherapy blended massage oil that appeals to you. I chose the Asia Harmony combination that contained lavender, ylang ylang and phlai to help to balance the mind and emotions.

The result: A back that feels normal and not clenched with stress and pain.
