5 things the Fab Five are obsessed with (and you probably are, too!)

Check these out, too...

  • Our 12 biggest celeb crushes
  • Watch this teen make an amazing 3-point shot
  • You've gotta see this: Extreme female athletes kickin' booty
  • Top 14 tips from our fave fitness pros
  • Dream big! IronKids champ and Olympic hopeful Winter Vinecki is answering your Qs
When we see elite gymnasts on T.V., they look untouchable, like they couldn’t possibly be real girls. But we got the dish from the Fab Five, the United States’ Olympic gold medal-winning women’s gymnastics team, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber and Kyla Ross.  And ya know what? These chicas are just like you.
 
Take a look, then tell us your top-5 #obsessions in the comments.

    Bestsellers

    If you’re tuning in to the Olympics, you might’ve noticed some similarities between this huge international event and a seriously popular fictional one. Does The Hunger Games ring a bell? It’s Kyla’s favorite book. While she’s not exactly facing life or death situations, we’re betting the chance to win gold in London is nerve wracking enough!

    Tunes

    These chicas cannot live without their iPods. From pop music to inspirational gospel, they listen to it all. A few most-played picks for Jordyn’s iPod: “Wild Ones” by Flo Rida,  “What Makes Your Beautiful” by One Direction and “Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber.

    Beauty booty

    World champ Jordyn Wieber is a beauty babe. She keeps her gym bag stocked with CoverGirl favorites, like Wetslicks Fruit Spritzer Lipgloss in Caramel Apple Splash (she loves the flavor), NatureLuxe Silk Foundation (because it’s super light) and LiquiLineBlast Eye Liner (because it’s a pencil that looks like a liquid liner).  And don’t forget that flat iron! She absolutely cannot live without it.

    Drama, drama drama!

    Just ‘cause they clock a ton of time in the gym doesn’t mean they aren’t totally plugged in. Their can’t miss series? Gabby adores Vampire Diaries, while Aly is a major Pretty Little Liars addict. Talk about good taste!

    Their besties

    All teammates claim to be buds, but McKayla and Kyla really are super tight. They started training together when they were tots, and now they’ve hit the big time as part of the Fab Five.

I have (had) this friend, and she is really mean to me, and she was GOING to go to a private school next year, but she didn't make it IN, so she's going to MY school! UGH! I can't stand her. And she is super mean. WHAT if I have classes with her! My mom doesn't even like this girl. My mom doesn't want me near her. And I DON'T even have one of those 'super protective' moms. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

 

Hey girl, It's pretty simple- avoid hanging out with this girl.  I'm sure you have other people in your classes that you don't like.  You don't have to hang with her, so just spend time with your other friends.  Good luck! xoxo

I couldn't stop smiling after I found out that they took first!! I mean it's the first time the US has won the women's all around gold medal in the Olympics since 1996!! Though I don't agree with McKayla Maroney's vault score!! She did a perfect vault and stuck that landing like there was no tomorrow!! She should have gotten better scores!

I know Gabby in real life she is so inspirational. She moved to West Des Moines Iowa where I live. I train in the same gym as I do. She's taught me that when things get tough to not give up, and their whole team displayed that going up against Russia. They're my role models! Great job U.S.A!

Strawberry Watermelon

Flavor: This fruity combo of two all-time best-selling flavors makes a delightfully sweet treat.

Fab Fact: In 2001, Lip Smacker blended two of its best-selling glosses.

A person should change their shampoo every six months because the hair will get used to it and does not get clean.
