Not surprising, the Number One resolution in the New Year is about weight. And yes, dancer’s are notorious for resorting to unhealthy tactics for fast weight loss when need be. Here’s an ideal opportunity to start a good habit and avoid sudden crash diets: My Weight Book, a customized diet book that begins on the Web. Just log on to www.myweightbook.com and answer 154 questions about your lifestyle. You then get a one-of-a-kind book with your own picture on the cover. And the diet plan inside is created to meet your own unique specifications. Its creator, Dr. Pierre Dukan, has corralled 32 doctors to analyze you weight gain & goals & find the best options for you to sustain a healthy lifestyle. (Hint: It’s a big hit in Europe; maybe this is the real reason French women don’t get fat!) $TK PIC

Whether you’re muscling them into a bun or letting them hang loose, your locks will love the new flat iron from Linea-Pro. The C2 is made of super-slim titanium plates, 12" long and only 1" wide, which makes it easier to handle and to get to those roots! High heat (410 degrees) happens fast and cuts styling time in half and the lightweight design keeps your arm from getting burnt out while you’re at it. The titanium technology releases up to 60% more negative ions and won’t strip essential oils, so hair’s left silky, smooth and shiny. Even has a Digital Remote Control (whatever). We love the Louis Vuitton-inspired Red Leopard pattern. $199; at www.linea-pro.com, 800-713-3200, or NYC’s Henri Bendel (www.henribendel.com, 800-423-6335). PIC sent

Out with the old, in with the new! Start the New Year off on the right foot—or feet—which means shedding all those calluses and thick, rough patches on heels, balls, toes. Not only will your feet feel better, they’ll work better for you. As our favorite New York podiatrist Dr Steven Landsman, explains, excess hardened skin can make TKTK. So, grab your Microplane Foot File and start rubbing before you get into the shower or bath; the 95 bi-directional files on this essential tool are specially designed to gently remove just the dead dry skin without cutting into the healthy skin below (your feet will look like they’re snowing). Those feet will be ready to hoof it again in no time. Easy to hold, comes with a cover and two buffing pads. About $22; at www.microplane.com or 800-555-2767.
