The 23 Stars Who Keep Popping Up on American Horror Story
American Horror Story switches up its spooky theme each year, but there are usually a handful of recurring actors. Series staples like Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, and Sarah Paulson have appeared every season, but creator Ryan Murphy has added more and more actors to his growing stable throughout the years. With the mysterious sixth season on the horizon, we're excited to see what this year's cast will look like this time around. Lady Gaga will be back, which means we can add her to this list once we get an official look at her new character (cross your fingers that it's soon!), as will a handful of actors from Hotel. For now, take a look at the many faces of the American Horror Story cast. We included everyone who has been on multiple seasons, even if they played the same character more than once, like Matt Ross (aka Dr. Charles Montgomery) or Naomi Grossman (aka Pepper).

12 Stylist-Approved Airport Outfits That Are the Perfect Mix Between Comfy and Fashionable
Remember the good old days when people used to get all dressed up to travel? Carefully selecting each piece of clothing to look their best while getting to their destination was part of the adventure. I love watching old movies and reliving those days, when it was all about the details and putting together a special travel look, featuring a powerful suit and a fitted blazer, hats, gloves, scarves, hanker chiefs, and overcoats. Both men and women of all ages, and even children, looked sharp, complementing their looks with the right accessories, like leather trunks and hand-held cosmetic bags and dressing cases.
Today, I feel a little mortified when I see people at the airport traveling in pieces meant for the gym or to run weekend errands. Wearing worn-in shorts, a t-shirt, flip flops, tracksuits and, in my opinion the worst, old pajamas. We all want to travel comfortably, but there are ways to do so and still look put together and stylish. Scroll ahead for some functional and still very comfortable looks to try next time you're getting on a plane!

Family Circle Wants to Know Who Makes a Better Cookie, Melania or Hillary
Since 1992, Family Circle, a food and family magazine with 16 million monthly readers, has a tradition of throwing a First Lady Cookie Competition. The wives of each presidential candidate submit an original recipe to be baked by magazine subscribers and eventually voted on for a winner. It's something many avid American bakers look forward to each election, including myself! With Hillary Clinton running as president in 2016, this year's cookie competition is posing to be a little awkward, that is unless you know the history behind the competition.
Rather than pitting Melania Trump against Bill Clinton, the magazine opted to rename the cookie-off as well as Hillary Clinton's recipe to something more gender-neutral: the Presidential Cookie Poll and Clinton Family's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Perhaps Family Circle made the conscious decision to not include Mr. Clinton in the competition after Huffington Post exposed his oatmeal cookie recipe, submitted in the 2008 Presidential Bake-Off, as a direct copy from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Talk about troublesome!
As a result, this year's contenders are Melania Trump's Star Cookies, a sugar cut-out cookie enriched with egg yolk and sour cream and Clinton Family's Chocolate Chip Cookies, an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie that Hillary submitted in the '92 and '96 First Lady Cookie Competitions. If it's making a comeback for the third time, it must be that good.
While I'm disappointed Bill Clinton didn't directly participate in this year's cookie competition, I have a work-around. In 2012, I tried both Ann Romney and Michele Obama's cookies and even created a bi-partisan cookie, meshing the two recipes together. I'm thinking Bill Clinton star balloon cookies are in order . . .

If You're Dressing Like a Greek Goddess For Halloween, You Need This Makeup Tutorial
The following post was originally featured on Birdie Shoots and written by Kelly Torrez, who is part of POPSUGAR Select Latina.
I've always been huge fan of Halloween and have a blast putting together costume ideas - the more unique, the better! Although, I have done the whole "toga" look while in college, I thought I'd revisit the look in full costume form and leave the twisted bed sheet out. To achieve this makeup look, you'll need a few key products:
- Gold or bronze eye shadow (with high pigment)
- Liquid eyeliner
- Neutral lip shade
- Bronzer
- Highlighter
Face:
Start with clean washed skin. Prep, prime, and thoroughly conceal with your foundation of choice. Lately, I've been loving Dior's Diorskin Star Studio Foundation; it goes on incredibly smooth, and the coverage is fantastic!
Eyes:
This look is just as much about the eyes as it is the hair. Start by priming the eyes with a neutral primer. I used Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin (any neutral with do!). Next, I added my base color to the lid, since this is going over the entire eye, opt for a matte shade in a golden hue, I used MAC's Butterscotch eye shadow, which is unfortunately no longer available. Bobbi Brown's Banana is a good alternative.
Your next shade will create definition and accentuate the wing of the eye. Choose a satin medium dark brown with golden undertones. I used Espresso from MAC. Using a tapered eye shadow brush, really buff the color into the outer crease, working your way in toward the center of the lid.
To add lightness and shimmer to the center of the eye, use a shimmer/glitter golden eye shadow. I used Trick from the Urban Decay Naked 3 palette. Using a stiff shadow brush, apply color to the center of the lid, working your way toward the inner corner. Using a smudge brush, apply under the lower lashes, and line.
Once both eyes are complete, use a liquid liner to apply a cat eye. You can also apply a pencil liner to the waterline to add more drama to the look.
Curl lashes, and add one or two coats of black mascara.
Cheeks:
Using a angled bronzer brush, apply a matte bronzer along the cheek bones and around the perimeter of the face and bend. Once skin has been contoured, use a highlighter or illuminator along the top of the cheekbones, ridge of nose, and Cupid's bow. I used Nars "The Multiple" Stick in South Beach.
22 Stuffed Shells Recipes, Because Cheese Inside Pasta Is Always a Good Idea

Why White Chocolate Is a Misleading Term
Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Anna Monette Roberts
White "chocolate" is a pretty misleading term. If it were named for what it really is, it would be called sweetened milk solids and cocoa butter, but that's not a very enticing description, now is it? I always knew white chocolate was far from milk and dark chocolate, but I got the full breakdown while visiting the Perugina School of Chocolate in Italy (home of Baci!). Confused about the difference between white chocolate and regular? What is white chocolate, anyway? Here's a complete breakdown.
Chocolate Comes From Cocoa Beans
This is chocolate! Well, basically. Chocolate comes from the Theobroma cacao, aka the cocoa tree that contains seeds called cocoa beans that are used to make chocolate. Cocoa beans contain a significant amount of cocoa butter, which is fatty and thick. Cocoa solids are what remain after cocoa butter has been extracted from the beans; this is what becomes cocoa powder after it's ground, which is the differentiating factor between regular chocolate and white chocolate.

Chocolate = Cocoa Solids, Milk, and Sugar
Milk chocolate is made of milk (usually milk powder), sugar, and cocoa powder, which is what gives it its brown color. Dark chocolate follows the same recipe formula, except the ratio of ingredients plays a huge part in the bitterness. If a chocolate bar has "70 percent cacao" on the label, that means it's made of 30 percent sugar and 70 percent cocoa.
White Chocolate = Cocoa Butter, Milk Solids, and Sugar
White chocolate is made of only the fatty cocoa butter extracted from the cocoa bean. There's no cocoa powder, which is why it doesn't have the classic chocolaty taste. It's a combination of cocoa butter and milk solids that's sweetened with a lot of sugar.
In any case, you're probably craving chocolate now (if that aggressive plant image didn't deter your appetite). No matter which kind you prefer, now you know exactly what you're eating.
Why You Should Always Salt Watermelon
The trick to having the best tasting watermelon is . . . salt it. Sure, it may sound weird to salt a sweet fruit, but you've probably had a watermelon margarita with a salted rim or a savory salad like watermelon caprese. The salt enhances the flavor of the fruit, adds a nice contrast to the sweetness, and draws the liquid out, making the fruit even juicier. As an added bonus, the added salt helps quench your thirst on blistering days. My friend recently told me it's her favorite thing to snack on during summertime barbecues and post-workouts alike. Use normal kosher or table salt, or experiment with flavored salts (like smoked salt). If you want to get fancy, try flake salt for added crunch.
You Can't Not Make Memes Out of This Usain Bolt and Andre De Grasse Moment
When you're an insanely, superhumanly talented athlete like Usain Bolt, a 200-meter Olympic qualifying race is like a casual jaunt at the track. Share a laugh with friends, maybe break a world record . . . it's all just a bit of fun.
Sharing said laugh on the track with a friend was captured in this candid moment between Usain and rival Andre De Grasse. And naturally, the internet is responding in the only way it knows how: with memes. The Bolt-De Grasse rivalry has been called "the friendliest rivalry in sprinting," and we can see why. The question is, what do you think they were saying to each other? What's so funny?

This Man Lost 330 Pounds By Ditching All the Food in His House
Three years ago, weighing in at 605 pounds, Pasquale "Pat" Brocco, got a wake-up call to lose weight or make funeral arrangements. His doctor said his high cholesterol and high blood pressure could cause him to die in his sleep.
Pat went home and snapped a shirtless selfie, with his belly reaching down to his thighs. "I was disgusted," Pat said. He made a major change by throwing out all the food in his house - not just the junk - everything! He decided that when he was hungry, he would walk one mile to the closest Walmart, buy food, walk one mile back home, then prepare his meal and eat. He did this three times a day and after a year and a half of walking six miles a day, he lost 200 pounds.
He changed his diet too, ditching fast food and soda, and choosing foods like vegetables, meat, sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice, and steel-cut oats. Pat said, "Once I figured out dairy was my downfall, I took it out of my diet, and instantly I started losing weight again." He traded walks to Walmart for incline walks on a treadmill, lifting weights, and using machines - this was a huge milestone because at over 600 pounds, Pat recounts, "I didn't fit on the machines."
Now with a total weight loss of 330 pounds, he's training to be a bodybuilder and his old nickname of "Fat Pat" is no more. Say hello to "Possible Pat." With tears in his eyes he said, "I'm setting an example for my son so he can be Possible Pat too."

13 Burning Questions We Have Ahead of Grey's Anatomy's 13th Season
Time is ticking down to the 13th season of Grey's Anatomy, and we've got a lot to mull over until then. As you might recall, last season's finale didn't have any major deaths, but there were plenty of emotional twists and turns. As such, we've got a few questions we'd like to have answered when the next chapter arrives.
- So, like, will Jackson and April get back together? They seem so happy, and they have a healthy baby girl together! It's meant to be. It's meant to be!
- Are Meredith and Riggs going to keep gettin' down or what? I mean, they were getting pretty hot and heavy at the end of the season. How could they stop now?
- And what about Riggs and Hunt? Are they cool now? Things between them seem oddly settled . . . at least for the moment, right?
- DeLuca, are you OK?! Please tell me that beautiful face hasn't been irreparably mangled. We need as much eye candy on this show as we can get.
- Will Alex ever have to deal with those anger management issues? He just straight-up beat the sh*t out of another doctor.
- Is Stephanie going to be OK? We're worried. Get that girl some comfort food and wine, stat.
- How many times would Cristina Yang have rolled her eyes by now? Running theory: a lot.
- Jo basically has to tell Alex about her secret past now . . . right? How else is she going to explain this whole situation? How can she convince DeLuca to keep her secret?
- If Owen wants kids really bad, does that mean Amelia's going to get pregnant? The interesting thing is, Caterina Scorsone is pregnant in real life, but given April's traumatic loss of her son on Private Practice, it seems like it might just not be in the cards right now. That said, kids would be Amelia and Hunt's next big step.
- And Callie's just . . . gone forever? Is that right? Cool. Listen, we love Callie so much. It would've been nice if her exit weren't so sad and abrupt. But hey, Grey's, you do you.
- How long will it be before Maggie finds out about Mer and Riggs? We give it, like, one episode.
- How long will it be before Maggie and Mer hate each other? We give it like, one episode and a half.
- Does Warren get to sleep in his own bed again? He saved the day! But, well, is that enough to make up for all the other sh*t he pulled in season 12? We'll have to wait and see.

10 Horror Movies That Will Most Definitely Make You Afraid of Summer Camp
Summer camp can be a place where memories are made, long-lost twin sisters are found, and romance can bloom.

Summer camp has been one of the most popular locations for horror films since the 1980s, and there's a reason. So many things can be lurking in the shadows, behind trees, in the lakes, and even inside the safety of a cabin in the woods.

26 Movies That Will Remind You of the Magical Summers of Your Childhood
Summer is all about being outside, whether it's cooling off in the neighborhood pool or getting dirty while playing an intense game of Capture the Flag. But while everyone soaks up as much sun as they can during those precious three months, it's also nice to stay in and watch movies that transport you back in time. And since Summer is the perfect excuse for adults to still act like kids, why shouldn't your movie selection reflect that? We've rounded up some of our favorite films that we watched on a couch cushion while sitting way too close to the TV when we were young. From four friends on a mission to buy a tree house to a group of boys playing baseball on a sandlot, these movies are guaranteed to put a smile on your sun-kissed face. So, grab a Capri Sun, put on those matching pajamas, and press play to go back to a time when Summer was all about freedom and adventure.

10 Commandments of Working Out
It doesn't matter if you do one workout a week or one workout a day - if you exercise at all, follow these 10 essential rules in order to get strong and lose weight effectively, prevent injury, and love working out enough to stick with it.
1. Thou Shalt Enjoy Working Out
If the exercise you're doing isn't fun or you cringe whenever you think about HAVING to do it, that workout is as good as skipped. Sweating it out shouldn't feel like a chore, so find workouts that inspire you, that you can't wait to go to, and that make you feel good about yourself.2. Thou Shalt Work Hard
A typical workout is only 30 to 60 minutes out of your day (plus extra time for getting ready and travel), so get the most out of this short time by giving it 100 percent. Push yourself, get your heart rate up, and get sweaty. After an intense workout, you shouldn't still look cute.3. Thou Shalt Do Cardio
Heart-pumping cardio not only keeps your cardiovascular system in tip-top shape, but it's also essential for building endurance and burning major calories. For overall health, make vigorous cardio a part of your weekly workout schedule for 20 minutes a day, three times a week - up it to 60 minutes a day, five days a week, if you're trying to lose weight.4. Thou Shalt Strength Train
Strengthening your muscles makes them look toned and defined, and for a double bonus, having more muscle means your body is burning more calories. Include strength training sessions three times a week; focus on targeting all the major parts of the body. Bodyweight exercises are great for overall strengthening, but if you want to build muscles faster, you'll want to use weights. Keep in mind that lifting heavier weights will help you lose weight faster.5. Thou Shalt Stretch
To prevent injury and keep your muscles supple, always stretch after your cardio and strength training workouts. It doesn't take much time, just 10 minutes will do it. Or commit to yoga sessions two to three times a week to not only keep your muscles loose, but to calm and clear your mind as well.6. Thou Shalt Mix Up Thy Workouts
Think your brain gets bored going for a run every day? Your muscles do too, which means you're more prone to reach a plateau. Be sure to vary your workouts, doing different kinds of cardio, a mix of strength training moves, and trying new types of workouts at least once a month. It's a great way to challenge your muscles and also prevent overuse injuries.7. Thou Shalt Nourish Thy Body Before and After Workouts
Your body needs protein, carbs, and healthy fats, so be sure to fuel up before and after your workouts with fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, and don't forget the water! If you're putting in the time to shape your body, eating clean is the best way to build muscle, lose excess fat, and have the energy to keep up with your workouts.8. Thou Shalt Schedule Workouts
Workouts don't just happen when you have time - you have to make the time. Find what works for you whether it's exercising out at the exact same time of day, pre-signing up for classes, paying a fitness trainer, or planning workouts with friends to keep each other accountable. Take some time Sunday to schedule out the week and write it down in your planner so you know it's as important as any other meeting you schedule. Go the extra mile by doing laundry, packing your gym bag, and getting together any gear you might need like headphones or equipment for home workouts. Planning ahead makes it more likely to happen.9. Thou Shalt Set Goals And Celebrate Them in Healthy Ways
You set out to go to the gym five days this week, and you nailed it! Now don't undo all your hard work with a celebratory burger, fries, and margarita. Try to avoid food as a reward, and choose something that will help you continue on your healthy path like a new pair of capris, download new tunes or an audio book to listen to on your next run, or buy a new blender for smoothies.10. Thou Shalt Rest

17 Star Wars Costumes That Are So Easy, It's Ridiculous

Look Back at Kim Kardashian's Sexiest Halloween Costumes
Celebrities love to dress up for Halloween, and Kim Kardashian is one of the few that usually go all out! Her many, often revealing Halloween looks through the years show that she's mastered the art of a sexy costume with outfits inspired by movies, animals, and even fictional characters.

This Disabled Soldier Visited 1 Little Boy to Show Him That His Injury Won't Hold Him Back
Diego Mercado and many wounded servicemen and women have more than one thing in common: not only do they have a prosthetic limb but they also find inspiration in each other.
As the son of an army veteran, 10-year-old Diego has always wanted to be a soldier but because this little boy was only born with one leg and just two fingers on his right hand, this dream felt uncertain.
But one day at a Ride 2 Recovery wounded warrior event, Diego saw service members who had amputations like his.
"At some point I maybe wanted to tell him that maybe he can't join the military because of his challenge," his dad, Jason Mercado, told News 4 San Antonio. "But as [the wounded soldiers] passed, they saw Diego with a prosthetic sitting out front, and one by one they stopped. That day I knew I didn't have to tell him because he saw those guys out there, they were still active duty guys doing it."
Since then, Diego not only works out with wounded veterans, like retired marine Jose Luis Sanchez, as a way to see that his body has no limits, but he and his dad have also started Team Diego. The mission of this father-son nonprofit is to bring awareness and support to wounded veterans, military families, and children with disabilities. The duo also regularly competes together in 5K races to support other wounded warrior non-profit organizations.
"Just looking at him now, the potential is endless," said Jason.

The Incredible Viral Blood Donation Campaign We Hope Makes Its Way to the US
While it may seem like there is a bandit removing all the As, Bs, and Os from signs across the globe, it's actually a blood donation campaign. In an effort to encourage people to donate blood, Missing Type is calling on corporations to remove the blood type letters from their signs and emphasize the dwindling resources.
The campaign was launched by the NHS Blood and Transplant department of the British National Health Service. However, cities and companies around the world are joining the effort - Microsoft, Google Japan, Tesco, the famous Amsterdam sign, and the famous Toronto sign have all blocked out the correlating letters.

After a drop in blood donations of nearly 30 percent in the last decade, the Missing Type campaign hopes to stress the importance of donating. An even more staggering statistic, as reported by the World Health Organization, is that 33 people per 1,000 donate blood, which means bank levels are consistently low. As the campaign goes more viral, we anticipate American companies joining the cause. To donate blood in America, visit the Red Cross's donation site map.
