Jennifer Garner has been dressing down lately and it looks like she might be getting her inspiration from her 3-year old daughter. The “Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past” actress claims that hubby Ben Affleck is responsible for Violet’s bohemian look and describes how she knows when Ben has been at Violet’s hair.

“Ben [Affleck] will do the school run. He dresses her and does her hair. It’s pretty funny,” she tells May’s InStyle (via JustJared). “You can always tell when he has been at it, just two random barrettes hanging in there. It’s so sweet.”

As for herself, Garner, 37, says, “I never go nuts with my look. It’s easy to feel like you’ve gone into caricature territory when you do.”

These days, the actress adds, “I wear less makeup than earlier in my career, but I know a lot more about it now.” [Source]

Such is the life of a busy mom. Garner still knows how to glam it up though. She always seems to look great when she needs to.

No, sorry, that’s wrong - Kate Hudson is into paddle-boarding. Whoops. Big difference. According to People magazine, Hudson is the last in a long line of stars who have taken to the water for a work out.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and Jennifer Garner have also dabbled in the sport, a form of surfing that requires a longer and wider board and a paddle. Not only is paddle-boarding a full-body workout that targets building a strong core, but you don’t need to catch a wave to do it. Flat water – even a stream! – will do, too.

I’m sure it is a great workout but shouldn’t these stars be wearing life jackets? Or would that make it look even more ridiculously nerdy than it already does? You decide.

I always enjoy to see celebrities without makeup, because it makes them look like normal people.

In Touch Weekly has compiled a new batch of photos of stars with and without makeup. I think some of them look good even without using tons of makeup on their faces, but others really do need the stuff to look attractive!

Who do you think looks the worst with no makeup on?

Because of the big coat and scarf that she wore on January 24 at the Martha Stewart Show, I can’t tell if Jennifer Garner has lost or gained any weight.
But she looks pretty.

According to this article, Jennifer Garner struggled to lose her post-baby weight (she gave birth to her baby Violet last year) in order to fit into the white beaded gown that she wore at the Golden Globes ceremony on January 15.

She revealed: “Losing the baby weight took me a long, long time. I just wasn’t that motivated. I wanted to play with Violet. To slow down and go at her pace has been such a gift.

“Then I got on the treadmill, stopped stuffing my face and lost the weight. I cut out croissants, bagels and muffins - all the good stuff. And went back to having a salad once a day and protein.”

In these pictures she looks great, almost too skinny - you can see that her dress is actually too large for her. Let’s hope she stays at this weight and doesn’t lose any more.
