By not in system - AOL NewsRICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia's prison system did not violate a Muslim inmate's religious rights when it refused to allow him to grow a 1/8-inch beard, which he believes is required by his religion, a federal judge has ruled.

By Monica Garske - AOL News
(Dec. 10) -- 'Tis the season to curl up with a nice cup of hot tea. You can drink it. Or soak your feet in it. Or use it to disinfect your sweaty yoga mat. The brewed beverage is surprisingly versatile and has many different home uses, says tea expert Diana Rosen, author of "Meditations With Tea" (Citadel). Rosen told AOL News that perhaps the weirdest use for tea is as a soothing foot soak. Getty Images You may think tea is just for drinking, but the beverage has many other weird uses.

By Monica Garske - AOL News
(Nov. 25) -- If you're too stuffed to eat your Thanksgiving leftovers this weekend, maybe you should try applying the extra ingredients to your face, body and hair instead.

Many of these, public health experts say, have been linked to adverse health effects like cancer, birth defects and learning disabilities. There is nothing that the Food and Drug Administration can legally do about it. But that may begin to change as two Democratic lawmakers -- Reps. Jan Schakowsky from Illinois and Edward Markey from Massachusetts -- ...

By Theunis Bates - AOL News(July 14) -- Skincare brand Vaseline has launched a skin-whitening application for Facebook in India, which allows users to lighten their faces in profile photos. The app is designed to promote Vaseline's range of male skin-lightening creams, which -- so the campaign promises -- will unleash "what is hidden under your skin."

Avon already markets a lightener called Refined White there; Revlon has one named Absolute White+; ...

By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyAccompanied by then and now photos of ageless supermodels, Parade Magazine on Sunday featured an interview with fashion icon Iman. As Judy Howard Ellis noted here, the veteran model startlingly told Kevin Sessums she believes Michelle Obama is not "a great beauty," and that is a good thing because, "when you're a great beauty, it's always downhill for you." Instead, says Mrs. Ziggy Stardust, the First Lady is "interesting looking and so bright." ...
