Let Alessandra Ambrosio's Coachella Style Inspire Your Festival Looks This Year
Every year, we can expect two things at Coachella without fail: great music and Alessandra Ambrosio. The Brazilian supermodel is a staple at the desert concerts - she has even brought her daughter, Anja Louise, more than once - and she's always found hanging out with a pack of fashionable models and celebrities, showing off her most effortless boho-chic style as she dances the day and night away to her favorite bands.
With seven years of experience at the event - seriously, photos of Alessandra at Coachella date back to 2009 - we think it's safe to say she has probably perfected her packing list, never missing a must-have item or festival trend piece.

Queen Letizia Uses 1 Simple Accessory to Spice Up Her All-Gray Look
Queen Letizia of Spain isn't afraid to wear serious color - not one single bit - and that's why we know we can always count on the royal to teach us new ways to sneak in a pop of brightness, even into our most neutral look.
To attend the opening of an exhibition celebrating Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes at the National Library in Madrid, the Queen did just that by pairing a professional outfit of a wool midlength dress, a matching coat, and black pumps with a floral-print silk scarf with touches of red and purple.
Sure, you might be thinking Letizia didn't reinvent the wheel by adding a vibrant accessory to a plain look - we've seen it before - but it's the effortless way she tied the extralong scarf into two loose knots over the collar of her coat and matched the shade of her lipstick to the tones in the material that made this outfit special.

4 Ways to Cut Calories From Your Morning Bowl of Cereal
Grabbing a bowl of cereal is so easy, so quick, and so satisfying. But it can also be so easy to gain weight if you're eating your bowl all wrong. Whether you enjoy your cereal in the morning or for a fast dinner - which by the way, is perfectly acceptable (been there, done that) - you'll definitely want to follow these tips to ensure that bowl doesn't make you look like you swallowed one.
- Be careful with portions: You pour yourself a bowl of cereal and by the end, you have a bunch of milk left, so you add more cereal. You start munching and realize your dry cereal needs more milk, so you add a little more. Then you're left with too much milk and instead of drinking the last sips, you pour in some more cereal and - well, you get the point. Your bowl needs a bottom! Pour your bowl of cereal, pour in the milk, and be done. Put the cereal in the cupboard and the milk in the fridge to avoid the temptation of the bottomless bowl. Always check the serving size: cereal is tricky because when you see the calorie amount listed, it may not seem like much. But take note of the serving size because cereals vary. Granola is usually one-quarter cup while Go Lean Crunch is one cup. Avoid eye-balling the amount and just randomly filling your enormous bowl. Get out your measuring cups, and use them every time you eat cereal to keep your portion in check.
- Be mindful of healthy toppings: Nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, flaxseed, chia seeds, shredded coconut - these are all healthy ingredients that can increase the fiber and protein in your bowl, but they also add calories. Do a little math in your head to ensure your bowl stays between 300 and 400 calories. For some reference, check out the calories in fresh fruit, the calories in dried fruit, and the calories in nuts.
- Choose the right milk: What you pour on your cereal affects the calorie amount as well. Instead of 150-calorie whole milk, go for 90-calorie skim - it still offers the same amount of calcium and protein as its full-fat counterpart. Or you can choose a dairy-free milk alternative. Unsweetened soy milk contains 80 calories and offers almost as much protein as skim milk, but with less sugar. Or if you're really watching your calories, go for 30-calorie unsweetened almond milk; it may not offer as much protein as skim or soy, but it offers 45 percent of your daily calcium.
- Stay away from sugary cereals: A low-sugar breakfast cereal packed with fiber and protein is the way to go - sorry, Lucky Charms may be magically delicious, but they're magically high in sugar, too. Be a label reader and compare nutrition labels as well as ingredient lists. Whole grains such as oats and whole-wheat fiber get a thumbs up, which means you should avoid enriched flours. And sugar should not be one of the first couple ingredients. Some good choices are these cereals that are high in fiber and protein.
Follow This Workout and You Can Get the Toned Arms and Back of Your Dreams
Most girls I know want toned arms and shoulders. Bingo wings, begone! Unfortunately, what I see most people doing in the gym is ineffective.
Endless sets of bicep curls and triceps kickbacks do, well, not much really. The problem is twofold.
Firstly, our arms can only lift so much weight in isolation - and using dinky little dumbbells will do little to improve our fitness or physique. Ladies, we need to embrace weight training and lifting heavier.
Secondly, the arms are connected to our shoulders and back, so from a purely proportional perspective, we want to have well-defined shoulders and back muscles to reveal a showstopping silhouette. Working our arms in isolation is usually counter to our goals.
So what's a girl to do? Work your back and shoulders. Get them strong and defined, and your arms will take care of themselves. As an added bonus, anytime you lift weights while standing, you train your core, too!
A final thought: women can be strong and feminine. The "bulking up" myth is almost always just that, a myth. All professional athletes weight train, and they have a physicality and fitness we can aspire to.

Hayden Panettiere Opens Up About Her Battle With Postpartum Depression: "I Was Terrified"
Hayden Panettiere is continuing to stay strong following her battle with postpartum depression. Last October, the actress checked herself into a treatment center to deal with the illness following the birth of her daughter, Kaya, in December 2014. Hayden, who shares Kaya with her fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, recently opened up to Yahoo! Style about the overwhelming support she's received from family and friends. "I was always so terrified that people weren't going to accept me," she explained. "The more open I was, the more acceptance I got from people. I got so much support and so much love. I was floored."
The actress also revealed that she has been able to channel everything into her work as her Nashville character, Juliette, also battles with postpartum depression. "The way I do things is to pull from my own personal experience and sometimes even turn myself into what I'm portraying so that I can pull from my life and step into that person's shoes by being able to relate," she continued. "I finally just went, 'I'm tired of living afraid. I'm tired of living in fear of what people are going to think, so you know, I'm just going to put it all out there on the table and I'm not going to worry about the judgment.'" Hayden also explained that when it comes to people not thinking postpartum depression is a real thing, she's determined to fight the stigma, saying, "It's like you have no idea what you're talking about. If you think for one second that a mother wants to feel that way towards her child, you're outta your mind."

Looking at Jake the Hanahan, SC, firehouse dog now, you can't really tell the rough life he once had. When he was just a pup, Jake nearly died in a shed fire before being rescued by firefighters.

Rebel Wilson Ditched Her Signature Platinum Blond For a Fiery Orange Hue

Sephora Is Launching Dry Shampoo For Your Makeup Brushes
I will admit when it comes to cleaning my makeup brushes, I am pretty damn lazy. This is probably not something you want to hear from a beauty editor, who is supposed to be a leader in hygienic grooming habits. So at the top of my Spring cleaning #goals list is developing better habits with my tools. Thankfully, Sephora is launching a product in April that will make this incredibly easier to do. The megachain created a portable two-fluid-ounce Dry Clean Instant Dry Brush Cleaner Spray for bristles.
Let's break down what this magic mist does. You can spray the alcohol-free formula onto your tools and immediately use them after - there's no drying time. That means you can use one product or color and then switch to another within seconds. We tried this with a medley of formulas, including foundation and blush, and were happy with the results. It does feel slightly balmy at first, but if you wipe the bristles off on a clean tissue or the back of your hand and wait about a minute, the brush returns to its original state.
Note that it does have a fruity scent, but that might be necessary for those really old brushes. While you have to wait until next month to snag it for $14, you should get it on your shopping radar now.
How to Get Makeup Stains Out of Practically Any Surface
You may know the coconut oil trick to remove product when you make a makeup misstep. But what do you do if your spill has gotten on your clothes, the carpet, or the bathroom tiles? Get the solutions for reversing a variety of makeup messes - including lipstick-stained collars and self-tanners gone awry.
- Lipstick: Spritz your kiss imprint with hair spray and let sit for 10 minutes. Then, dab with a sponge, and throw in the wash. If your clothing is dry-clean only, try using a piece of tape to transfer the stain away. You can also use baby powder, chalk, or baking soda to remove oil- and wax-based lipsticks.
- Eyeliner: Did someone leave a note on your mirror in eyeliner? Reach for salt to remove the marks before using standard cleaner (this trick also works for lipstick stains on wine glasses).
- Waterproof mascara: For long-lasting makeup formulations, try blotting the stain with makeup remover like Philosophy Just Release Me ($19). Check the label to ensure the formula you're using is oil-free, though, or you'll end up with an even bigger mess.
- Foundation: Pretreat powder and liquid-foundation spills with a clarifying product like shaving cream or shampoo. Both of these toiletries have cleaning agents that should break through the stain before you wash.
- Self-tanner: To reverse self-tanner stains left on sheets or clothing, first rinse the affected area under cold water. Then use a sponge and dish detergent, working on the spot from the outside in, to cut the oil in the tanning formula. You can even use hydrogen peroxide to remove the orange tones from the fabric (but make sure to spot-check first to ensure the fabric's color won't lift). You can also use glycerin as a final resort.
Note: All of these suggestions are for treating stains immediately. In addition, be careful not to dry fabrics until the blotch is removed because heat can set the stain.

Google Has a Cell Phone Plan and It's Unlike Anything Else
Google's newest project is finally out of the invitational period, meaning you can get your hands on it. What is it exactly? Meet Project Fi, the company's own wireless network meant to remove all the pain and hassle from traditional wireless companies.
It works pretty simply: You sign up for the service and pick one of the three phones available - the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and the Nexus 6. You'll then have to wait for the phone and SIM card to be mailed to you. Not to worry, you won't be charged for any service until you activate the SIM card. The basic package for Project Fi costs just $20 for unlimited domestic talk and text, unlimited international texting, and WiFi tethering. Currently, Project Fi is offering $150 off the Nexus 5X if you purchase the phone through them. Not a bad deal for a relatively new phone. Ahead, you'll find other details about the service and our review.
You Get to Choose Your Data Plan
During the setup process, you get to choose how many GB of data you want to use.
- It's $10 per GB, so if you add 4 GB, you'll be paying an additional $40.
- If you end up not using most of your data during the billing cycle, Project Fi will then credit you back the amount of money you're owed. Any data you use on a public WiFi connection is also secured through encryption.
- The same idea applies to the basic talk and text package. If for some reason you end up using your phone for only half the month and then cancel the service, you'll only be charged for the amount you used.
Google's Convinced You're Going to Love Project Fi
Google hopes you'll choose Project Fi over all the other wireless providers for several reasons.
- Firstly, the company boasts it has the best wireless connection around. It tries to find you the fastest network by bouncing back and forth between Sprint, T-Mobile, and WiFi networks. The idea is if you're moving around and suddenly T-Mobile has a faster connection, you'll seamlessly be transferred over to that network. This also means you can start a call on a WiFi network, walk outside, and still keep talking without any issues.
- You can also use the phone internationally and not pay anything extra for data. Yes, you read that right. Project Fi will still only charge you $10 per GB, so even if you hop over to London for vacation, you don't need to worry about any roaming data charges. This perk is available in 120 countries.
- You can easily add more data to your plan on the Project Fi app or the website.
- It also only takes three steps to pause your service and only a few more to completely cancel it.
- If you need any help at all, Project Fi does have 24/7 customer support via chat, phone, or email. The calls are answered in about 20 seconds.
We're Going to Keep Our Old Cell Phone Plan . . . For Now
We were given the chance to try out Project Fi with the Nexus 6P and were left slightly impressed.
- If you're converting from iOS to Android, there will be an adjustment period getting used to it. However, the phone is relatively easy to understand, and the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone is actually more useful than the home button reader on the iPhone.
- As for Project Fi itself, don't expect a total seamless connection constantly. Several times my texts weren't sent due to a poor or no connection - even in dense, open areas. You might even get connected to a 3G network.
- Despite the cons, I'm staying optimistic on Project Fi - mostly for the ability to pay for only the data I use. I'm one of those remaining few lucky users who still has unlimited data, so I never think about it. With Project Fi, I still don't have to. As it turns out, I don't consume as much data as I think I do, and having the ability to check my data usage on the Project Fi app is a relatively anxiety-free way to see how I'm doing. I have nine days remaining in my plan, and I think I'll actually get credit back. It's almost like a treat from Project Fi.
So yes, I will keep waiting to see whether Project Fi completely improves and does not drop any phone calls or texts. Then, maybe I'll consider switching over. Though to be honest, the service, while meant for millennials, is a good option for parents and grandparents who don't need that much data and can manage it easily if they do.
Check out photos of the phone, app, and setup process ahead. Maybe it'll convince you to try out Project Fi.

What the Walkers on The Walking Dead Are Actually Thinking
We've spent more than half a decade with The Walking Dead, and in that time, we've realized quite a lot of things. Not only have we been emotionally scarred for life time and time again, but we've watched the cast change so much, fallen head over heels for Daryl Dixon, and even found a few moments to laugh. In all these seasons, though, there's been a pretty constant presence: hundreds of thousands of walkers. We thought it was kind of strange that the undead are such a big part of the show, but they never get any dialogue. To remedy the situation, we tried to imagine what they'd say if they could speak. Read on to get inside those dead, rotting heads.

You Don't Get to Keep the Furniture - and 6 Other Shocking Revelations About Being on Fixer Upper
As avid fans of Fixer Upper as we are, our knowledge of the show is limited to what we see on TV. We have no idea what it's actually like to be cast on the show and have Chip and Joanna Gaines renovate our Waco, TX, dream home. Luckily, the star of season three episode "A Big Fix For a House in the Woods" shared her story with POPSUGAR Select blogger Rachel Teodoro of Holy Craft.
Check out the seven things we were shocked to learn from her below, and for even more unprecedented insight into what it's really like to be on Fixer Upper, head to Holy Craft, where you can read the complete interview.

Casting Moves Fast
This cast member applied to HGTV one day and received a call from the casting agency the very next. "After that it was a quick, big, exciting blur," she told Holy Craft of the fast-paced process.
You Don't Get to Keep the Furniture
The gorgeous Magnolia Market finds Joanna fills the house with are actually just there on loan to stage the house for the big reveal. While the furniture is not included in the makeover, the homeowners can buy any pieces they want to keep - but at that point the budget is usually pretty tapped.
Chip Is Seriously Goofy
Watch any clip of the show and it's obvious that Chip isn't a serious guy, but we didn't realize that his silly personality played nonstop in real life. He kept this season three cast member and her husband laughing the entire time they filmed, giving producers ample material to choose from.
They Make Over the Entire House
Since we only see the "after" shots from a few spectacularly renovated and staged rooms on the show, we figured that these were the only rooms Chip and Joanna lent their magic to - but we're happy to be wrong. This cast member said every room in her house was addressed, but those not featured on the show were given more basic cosmetic upgrades, such as fresh paint, carpeting, and fixtures.
Joanna Is Quiet in the Best Way
Compared to Chip's outgoing personality, Joanna can come off as downright reserved in real life - but it's because her brain is constantly churning and plotting brilliant design ideas. And when she does speak, she's very thoughtful. "I was in awe of her during our real estate filming day because she was constantly thinking about different cool things about each house," the cast member told Holy Craft.
Makeovers Are High Quality
Call us pessimists, but we often assume that reality TV shows do the bare minimum amount of work required to make a home look good on camera. Not Fixer Upper - Jamie said her makeovers extended far beyond the surface and what we saw on the show. "There is not a door in my house that isn't surrounded in beautiful thick wood trim casing. They just finish out the entire project, parts you don't see on the show, to a tee," the cast member said.
You Don't Actually Become Best Friends
Joanna and Chip seem to become fast friends with everyone on the show - perhaps it's because they're all residents of close-knit Waco - and while they're super friendly in real life, it's still business and highly unlikely that they'll be inviting you over for a dinner party after filming wraps. "I think life is pretty busy for them with all this newfound success and adventures, and their first priority is obviously their family," the cast member explained.
So what does the house look like after the HGTV cameras (and the borrowed furniture) have left? See the before-and-after pictures of this cast member's house on Holy Craft.

How Often Do You Really Need to Clean Your Makeup Brushes?
We're true makeup fanatics, but there's one part of our routine that we actively detest - washing our brushes. We know we have to, but not only does it take up a lot of our time (which we could be using for Netflix binge-watching!), it could actually damage our favorite tools if we do it wrong. We reached out to Jenny Patinkin, celebrity makeup artist and founder of luxury brush line Lazy Perfection to get her top tips on brush care, cleansing, and more.
If you're more of a skimmer, let this be the one fact you learn: do not share your brushes with anyone else. "Coming in contact with your own oils and germs is one thing, but being exposed to someone else's bacteria is entirely another," Jenny warned. Once you know the danger of a dirty brush, you'll want to clean your tools daily! Here's how to get the job done.
