This Is Actually the Best Kid's Menu You Will Ever See
Local Delis Kids menu from funny
Getting your kid to make up their mind and place an order can be an exasperating experience for any parent dining out with a child. Instead of getting frustrated by the "I don't want that!" and "I'm not hungry!" responses, a Pennsylvania deli is having some fun with their kid's menu and renaming some of their options to better reflect their smallest patrons.
The honest and completely accurate menu at Front Street Deli was shared on Reddit, and every parent can get a laugh out of the unconventional listings. The hysterical options include:
- "I Don't Know:" Hot dog with French fries
- "I Don't Care:" Chicken tenders with French fries
- "I'm Not Hungry:" Grilled cheese with French fries
- "I Don't Want That:" Fish sticks with French fries
This Bride's Wedding Was So Stylish, It Put Fashion Month on Pause
Colby Jordan aka author of style site MinnieMuse chose a wedding date right in the middle of Milan Fashion Week. She invited plenty of industry insiders like Karlie Kloss, Derek Blasberg, Princess Beatrice of York, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in France. It's no surprise everyone already had a fabulously packed suitcase.
While Karlie wore a lace Dolce & Gabbana dress to the ceremony, Ashley stunned in a vintage-inspired beaded midi, and Mary-Kate showed us all the updated version of a tuxedo dress. Colby herself looked like quite the chic bride in sheer sleeves. Her modest Valentino Couture gown featured a high neck, full skirt, and matching veil. Read on to see every snap from an event so stylish, it put Fashion Month on pause.
We Bet Kim Kardashian Just Added This Whole Spring Collection to Her Closet
We can only imagine what was going through Kim Kardashian's mind as Balmain's Spring '17 collection made its way down the catwalk. The star, who sat front row at the show, is a big fan of the brand, frequently rocking Balmain pieces on the red carpet and even out and about. She was probably ready to shop. This time around, however, creative director Olivier Rousteing had something different in mind. The "Balmain army has shed its armor," he revealed in the shows notes, hinting toward what was to come.
While the collection still favored metallics, browns, and even greens and oranges, the designs were flowy, softer, and more feminine. Pieces billowed out as models - including Gigi Hadid and Jourdan Dunn - made their way down the runway. Capes, sheer styles, silky dresses, and plenty of snakeskin could be seen, and - despite that switch in direction - revealing cutouts along with chain-like pieces popped up. Olivier also embraced the single earring trend, which we've been seeing everywhere as of late.
We're willing to bet Kim was pretty happy with all the sexy, eye-catching designs she saw, and is likely already adding them to her wardrobe. Take a look at every stunning look ahead, then brace yourself: they'll be on the red carpet and plenty of It girls before you know it.
23 Incredible Costumes From the First Star Wars Day on a Disney Cruise
Cosplay has no limits - not even geography or water can stop any fan from dressing up as their favorite character. This was definitely the case at the first Star Wars Day at Sea aboard a Disney cruise ship.
Sure, you might think that lugging around all the materials required for an epic cosplay might deter cruise ship guests from doing it. But you're wrong. Guests on the Disney Fantasy ship brought makeup, lightsabers, Jedi robes, and everything imaginable to complete their dressing-up dreams at sea. Regular characters like Luke Skywalker made an appearance, but new ones from Star Wars: The Force Awakens also graced the ship - including so many Reys!
Check out some of our favorite cosplays to plan your Halloween costume this year and don't forget to see just what you can expect from a Star Wars Day at Sea.

I Eliminated Dairy, Gluten, Sugar, Booze, and Coffee From My Diet, Surprisingly Didn't Kill Anyone
Prior to starting the AaHa Restart Cleanse, I had never eliminated anything from my diet (my diet is rooted in balance and finding nutritious foods that I love to counteract the occasional cheeseburger or slice of pizza).
So when my co-workers forced invited me to join them on a week-long cleanse that would eliminate gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, processed food, alcohol, and coffee, I was a tad reluctant but absolutely intrigued. You get to have three full meals per day, with no snacking throughout the day (with the exception of coconut water or a green juice or green tea). While alcohol and coffee wouldn't be an issue for me to cut out (they're not staples in my diet by any means), I'd definitely have a hard time eradicating Cinnamon Toast Crunch with whole milk. THAT is a staple in my diet.
What's more is that not only would I be stuck on this crazy diet, but there would be actual healthy people holding me accountable throughout the week. The cleanse founders and other participants would be placed in a group text on WhatsApp so they could closely monitor . . . I mean, encourage and support . . . cleansers on their journey. I'd have to upload my meals. There was no room to cheat.
All in all, I looked at this as a week of challenge, personal growth, and learning. Here's what went down:
(Slightly) More Energy
While I can't sit here and tell you that I experienced a magnificent, unparalleled surge of glorious energy and my qi was exuberant, I did have a slight boost in energy. Particularly in the mornings. I attribute this to the fact that I took care to make a large, well-rounded breakfast each morning, woke up a tad earlier, and put good things in my body (read: I took a break from Cinnamon Toast Crunch). It's probably important to note that I don't rely on coffee . . . ever. So the lack of caffeine didn't ding my energy levels at all.
I Had to Pee All Day, Every Day
Something that you should know: if you're on a cleanse, you drink A LOT of water. Especially in this particular cleanse. And when you want a snack? Coconut water. And/or plain green tea. The influx in fluids incurs an influx in trips to the ladies' room, so get your Fitbits ready, your step count is about to go up.
The Community Thing REALLY Helped
Look, I was not really feeling the group text at first - I'll be honest. I thought my meals weren't pretty enough and I wasn't enthusiastic enough in the first couple days to really participate. I didn't know these people, and I assumed they were all Gwyneth Paltrow clones who eat like this every day and survive on the essence of almonds and that they were secretly judging me. That, plus the fact that I always had like 87 notifications at any given moment.
Once I got over my weird hangups, the sense of community was actually pretty awesome. And I was wrong about the Gwyneth thing. With the group text, I felt like I was held more accountable, and that when I did make a good choice, someone did see and they did make me feel good about it. If you've ever been presented with a healthy and an unhealthy choice, and you thought "whatever, I'm getting cheese fries, it's not like anyone else cares," then I'd highly recommend choosing a cleanse or program that has a community aspect.
Even though the women in this group were total strangers, I was inspired by their meals, their choices, and their honesty. There were slip-ups, mistakes, and more, but the group was supportive. They were also there to answer questions (mostly "is this cleanse-approved?") and to offer advice if you were stumped on what to make for a meal.
Better Habits Were Formed
Through this cleanse, I learned adult things like "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and "not all delicious meals come from a cardboard box." Goodbye for now, ramen, Easy-Mac, and cereal dinners.
I also learned a lot about strategic grocery shopping, the importance of meal prep, and how not every food has to have dairy or gluten to be delicious.
I also learned to think outside the box and get more creative with my recipes. I made my Italian great grandfather's lentil recipe from scratch, filled with hearty veggies and savory spices. I created a vegan "drawn butter" with a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar to dip my artichokes in, and it was actually incredible. I made my oats with coconut milk and my scrambled eggs with extra virgin olive oil, had so many dairy-free smoothies, indulged in chia puddings for breakfast, and developed a new love for Harmless Harvest coconut water as my favorite treat.
Ravenous Moments Happened
The lack of snacking ability (snackability?!) in this cleanse actually led me to be particularly ravenous at the end of the workday. When lunch is at noon and you don't get home until 6 or 7 p.m., bad things can happen. And by bad things, I mean, my blood sugar plummeted and I was ready to tear people on the subway apart trying to get home to a bowl of coconut milk oatmeal just to satiate and stabilize myself enough to make dinner. I craved carbs, I craved sugar, and I wanted to cry.
That said, my particular work schedule doesn't lend itself to a nonsnacking plan. If I was a stay-at-home mom and didn't have to be in the office until 6 and commute home for an hour, I'd make myself dinner at 4:30 or 5 and be chillin' with no problems. Just something to keep in mind.
Going forward and doing this cleanse again, I'd strategize a bit to either have my dinner in the office or to have some kind of cleanse-approved snack. It's less about "mindless snacking" (which I totally understand the need to eliminate) and more about not creating a starving sensation so you're more inclined to binge.
I Believe in Myself a Lot More
OK I know this point sounds like a motivational cat poster, but it's the best takeaway I got from this cleanse. Because the cleanse was only a week long, it was a small jumping off point with a low barrier to entry - essentially the training wheels for a bigger, more challenging, even more impactful cleanse. I breezed through a week, so I'm totally ready for more. Hooray for inner strength and dieting stamina!
I'm scaling up in October to try my first full-month cleanse with the TIU 31-Day Challenge, adhering to a similar nutrition plan of clean eating, and I totally feel confident after learning everything I did from the AaHa cleanse. I know I'll have more energy (but need to go to the bathroom . . . a lot), and I know I'll have to meal prep and plan my recipes and grocery lists. I'll ensure I have healthy snacks, I'll get creative with my food, and I'm DEFINITELY starting a group text with my friends to force encourage them on their journey.
Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman's Friendship, From Down Under to Top of the A-List
Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman aren't just fellow Aussie actresses; they're also best friends.

Of her relationship with Naomi, Nicole has said that they are "very, very good friends and have maintained that through so many things," adding, "I think that's really rare, particularly for actresses, and I take a lot of pride in that." Naomi has also revealed that the two share "naughty wicked senses of humor" and that while they "definitely go to glamorous dinner parties" they can also "sit in a room and motormouth each other." In honor of their decades-long friendship, here are Nicole and Naomi's sweetest photos.

What It Was Like Growing Up With No Eyebrows
Many women grew up with the typical trials and tribulations of being a teenager: hitting puberty, developing facial and underarm hair, and working on a daily basis to not completely mortify ourselves. Easier said than done, right? But what if in addition to all this, you dealt with a disorder that caused you to pull out your own hair - specifically your eyebrows and eyelashes?
YouTube star and actress Arden Rose has trichotillomania, an impulse control disorder which gives you the compulsive urge to pull out your hair. For Arden, it was directly linked to stress, similar to biting your nails or the skin off your cuticles. It's estimated that 2.5 million people have trich - a surprising number if you think about it. "Once you have a disorder, you learn to hide it very well," said Arden. "It was a comfort zone for me, but also, being embarrassed about something . . . you go home, you feel bad about yourself, all you want is a comfort zone again. It's a vicious cycle," she said.
She was 13 when it started happening, as a result of wearing coats of mascara. "I would put loads of mascara on, and I loved pulling the clumps out of my mascara. It got to the point where I was like, 'if I keep applying mascara, I can pull out all these clumps.'" She also did it with brow gel, which resulted in both sparse lashes and nonexistent eyebrows. In addition to having a genetic predisposition for the disorder, not fitting in at school also contributed to her stress. "I didn't have a great friend group growing up, I didn't relate to a lot of girls my age. I felt like I was on a different path than a lot of other people," she said.
You never get rid of the disorder. Instead, you do your best to contain it. For Arden, that means having her boyfriend keep her accountable and building up a support system through YouTube. As for her advice for those getting bullied about their looks? "The main motto is 'stop giving a crap.' Ultimately, people are all narcissistic. They care about themselves, the way they look, they care about what you think about them. They don't really care about what's going on with your face. No one actually cares, so you shouldn't care in turn."

Why Deadlifts Are the Best Exercise For Weight Loss
Losing weight can often feel like a full-time job. You have to eat (mostly) healthy and also make sure you're getting a healthy mix of strength training and cardio. But there are a few shortcuts you can take, which come down to picking the right kinds of exercise to maximize your efforts. Why do a bicep curl when you can work even more of the body by doing a squat with overhead press? And if you only have time to fit in one move today, don't you want it to be THE move? Yeah, we thought so. When it comes to toning up, encouraging weight loss, and working your entire body in one swoop, few moves can beat a deadlift, trainer Holly Rillinger told POPSUGAR. And Holly should know, besides being a Nike Master Trainer and Flywheel Sports Master Trainer, she also used to play professional basketball.
"It's such a great move because it uses the biggest muscles in your body: your legs - [and] the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism," said Holly. "Anytime we use our hips, our body releases testosterone and growth hormones, which can be scary words for women, but all you have to think of is 'lean' when you hear those words. So being able to work your hips and your lower body in one movement really ends up challenging your core and your shoulders so it turns this one move into this total full-body workout."
Single moves that do so much are a rarity, so incorporating deadlifts into your routine means you can sculpt the upper and lower body simultaneously, freeing up more time for you to get on with other things in your life. Just keep in mind that while a deadlift may look simple, it's not. Doing the move incorrectly could result in you not getting the full benefit of the exercise, or worse, injury. Holly, who is also a spokesperson for BIC Soleil Shine, attributes the difficulty of the move to the fact that "there's so much going on" when you perform the exercise, and given that it's such a powerhouse, it makes total sense. "I think it's totally worth having a trainer look at you when you start deadlifting or at least film yourself to make sure you're doing it correctly," she said.
Ready to get started?
- Stand holding dumbbells in each hand, arms at your sides, with your knees slightly bent. If you don't have dumbbells, you can also use a weighted bar.
- Keeping your arms straight and knees slightly bent, slowly bend at your hip joint, not your waist, and lower the weights as far as possible without rounding your back, which should remain straight. Looking forward, not at the ground, will help you avoid rounding your back. Keep the weights close to, almost touching, your legs.
- Squeeze your glutes to slowly pull yourself up. Be sure not to use your back or round your spine! Beginners should aim to take four seconds to bend down and two seconds to pull up.
- Do three sets of 12 reps.

Dog Owners: Make Sure You Follow These 3 Rules If You Have Roommates
Your pup is your best friend and constant companion, the apple of your eye and the trusty shadow that follows you around the apartment each day. As a pet parent, it can be easy to forget the entire world doesn't always see your four-legged pal through those same rose-colored glasses.
If you want to avoid conflict with others (whether that be with a random roommate or even your significant other), being mindful of space and boundary needs will go a long way. Follow these three simple rules for smooth sailing.
1. Be 100 percent responsible for all dog-related chores.
When you're living with a roommate, especially one you consider a friend, it's tempting to ask for pro-bono help. Friends do friends favors, right? But overloading a friend with your responsibilities can lead to a boatload of resentment. Stick to this rule: if you signed yourself up for a responsibility, it's exactly that - your responsibility. Occasional last-minute things happen in life, but if you find yourself texting your roommate every time you hit up happy hour instead of heading home to let out the dog, you may be inadvertently putting a strain on your relationship. It's worth spending extra cash on arranging a reliable dog walker or sitter to avoid unnecessary conflict.
2. Ask about boundaries.
Even if your roommate gave you the green light to live with a pup, don't assume that's where the conversation should end. Asking about boundaries instead of assuming another person's comfort level is always the best route to ensuring everyone is happy with the living situation. For example, your roommate might not be comfortable letting the dog roam into her space or onto shared furniture. Even though most animal-lovers wouldn't think twice about snuggling with a pup in bed, some people just don't feel that same way. It's always better to ask than to be sorry!
3. Own up to any pet-related incidents.
Even the most well-behaved dogs have the occasional slip-up. An episode of jumpiness, a bathroom accident on the carpet (it's never the wood floors, is it?), or damaged furniture are bound to happen eventually when you're living with a pet. Animal-lovers know that's par for the course! But even if a roommate tells you it's OK, always be sure to apologize immediately and take responsibility for your pet. Remember that a roommate may just want to quickly smooth it over by telling you not to worry about it, but it's key to insist on paying for any damage and to demonstrate that you take the incident and your roommate's comfort level seriously.
The Emotional Moment This Dad - Who Is Battling Cancer in the ICU - Met His Newborn Baby Will Leave You in Tears
Despite all of the joys and fears that come with any pregnancy, one family had to deal with a roller coaster of emotions during the final weeks that nobody saw coming.
Just three weeks before his fiancé, Jessica Li, was due to give birth to their first child, Cagney Wenk was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Instead of waiting for Jessica's contractions to start before they headed to the hospital, the couple spent the final days of her pregnancy at the same place where she planned on delivering - only now Cagney was fighting for his life.
Since his aggressive glioblastoma diagnosis, Cagney has endured a biopsy, craniotomy, radiation, and chemotherapy. While he was recovering from the surgery to temporarily remove part of his skull in order to relieve pressure to the brain, Cagney's intensive care unit nurses collaborated on a meaningful idea for this deserving family.
They reached out to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, which is an organization of professional photographers who volunteer their time and talent to offer remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby. Cagney and Jessica were thrilled when Sarah Boccolucci volunteered to document their son's birth. When Jessica went into labor with baby Levon, Cagney was moved from the ICU - complete with all of his medical equipment and nurses - to the labor and delivery ward in order to be an active part of his child's birth.
"There is a point during the birth where Cagney tells Jessica that they are surrounded by all the love in the world right now," Sarah told the Huffington Post. "It is my hope that people will see the video, feel the love this family shares, and help lift them up and make a donation if they are able."

3 Body-Love Lessons From Iskra Lawrence
Anyone who's ever been in a dressing room with fluorescent lighting can use a body-love pep talk from Iskra Lawrence.
Ruthie Lost 15 Pounds in 6 Months by Doing This at Dinner
When it comes to losing weight, one truth remains the same: if you don't understand your daily habits, especially your relationship with food, it's very challenging to create long-term change. For Ruthie, gaining that understanding is exactly what helped her not only lose 15 pounds in less than 24 weeks, but also keep it off for over a year.
She teamed up with motivational coach Ricki Friedman, founder of Break the Weight, to discover what was weighing her down, physically and mentally. The six-week program offers a unique approach to changing your lifestyle by focusing on creating healthier daily habits through accountability, support, and motivation. Break the Weight focuses on making really small changes - the things you do on a daily basis.
Ruthie Before
Ruthie says the program helped her transform the way she thought about food. "I'm not dieting; I'm just living," she writes in an email to POPSUGAR. "Thinking of food as fuel. If I have a craving, I satisfy it. If I want pizza, I eat it. However, I just don't necessarily eat the whole pie, or even more than a slice or two. I can recognize when I'm hungry and when I'm full."
Ricki says it's essential to ask yourself the right questions: "It's all about understanding the voids you're trying to fill. Am I hungry? Am I bored? Am I lonely?"
She credits Ruthie for doing the work internally. "Ruthie and I worked together as a team," Ricki shares via email. "She really started to understand her routines and why she was eating even when she wasn't hungry."
Ruthie goes on to explain her own personal struggles with weight loss, saying, "I used to think that I had to be restrictive to lose weight. Not eat a lot or just work out for the goal of weight loss. In a nutshell, I struggled a lot."
Ruthie After
Self-forgiveness played a huge role in Ruthie's success. She says, "I've learned through BTW to forgive myself when I have off days. I dust myself off and move on. Before BTW, if I had a slip up in my diet, I would be incredibly hard on myself, I would take a 'f*ck it' attitude and go downhill and fast. Ricki has helped me recognize that this is a process and a bad day doesn't make or break my progress."
Changing her mindset has helped Ruthie find some peace of mind. Ruthie writes, "I have changed my relationship with food. It's only right to quote Ricki here: 'food is fuel.' I didn't used to think of it that way. I love to eat, but I have learned that food used to be more than fuel for me - it was an emotional outlet I used to satisfy me when I was bored, sad, happy. Now, while I still enjoy eating, I recognize it is to fuel my body, not my emotions."
Ruthie's Diet and Workout Plan
Breakfast: I have a chocolate Shakeology shake with peanut butter and almond milk practically every morning. It is like dessert for breakfast, and I'm still getting a ton of nutrition. I love it, and it fills me up!
Lunch: I usually end up getting a big salad for lunch with shrimp or tofu, and I love getting fruit in it.
Dinner: I try to plan in advance every Sunday, and I love experimenting with recipes. Lately I have been really into spiralized zucchini or butternut squash and some riced cauliflower recipes. When I don't get to plan or need something quickly, my go-to is scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese, which I always keep on hand.
Ruthie walks 10,000 steps a day, which is a requirement in the program.
"I walk. A lot. When I first kicked things off with Ricki less than a year ago, I got a Fitbit and tracked my steps without making any changes, just to see what my starting point was. I was not even getting 7K a day on a regular weekday (excluding the gym). I changed my commute (less subway, more blocks), I always opt for the long way, and I take walks around meals. One time, I had a flight delay while I was in the Denver airport and I just walked up and down the long terminal rather than sit around all day."
She also eats between 1300 to 1500 calories a day and aims to make dinner her smallest meal of the day, something she learned from the program. Ruthie says, "Change is hard, especially when you're trying to lose weight, but it's not about being mean to yourself or quitting or saying screw it. It's about learning from your mistakes, being a little kinder to yourself, and moving forward. People need to understand this. It needs to be talked about more. The ebb and flow of motivation and how to deal with setbacks, because that's really what throws people off or why they quit."
Ruthie continues: "The past is the past and I try very hard to leave it there. Setbacks are a part of life and human nature. I try to go back to the basics right away. I don't wait for the next week or the next month to reset. I shake it off and hit the reset button as soon as possible. I forgive myself and I look forward."

Ruthie Lost 15 Pounds in 6 Months by Doing This at Dinner
When it comes to losing weight, one truth remains the same: if you don't understand your daily habits, especially your relationship with food, it's very challenging to create long-term change. For Ruthie, gaining that understanding is exactly what helped her not only lose 15 pounds in less than 24 weeks, but also keep it off for over a year.
She teamed up with motivational coach Ricki Friedman, founder of Break the Weight, to discover what was weighing her down, physically and mentally. The six-week program offers a unique approach to changing your lifestyle by focusing on creating healthier daily habits through accountability, support, and motivation. Break the Weight focuses on making really small changes - the things you do on a daily basis.
Ruthie Before
Ruthie says the program helped her transform the way she thought about food. "I'm not dieting; I'm just living," she writes in an email to POPSUGAR. "Thinking of food as fuel. If I have a craving, I satisfy it. If I want pizza, I eat it. However, I just don't necessarily eat the whole pie, or even more than a slice or two. I can recognize when I'm hungry and when I'm full."
Ricki says it's essential to ask yourself the right questions: "It's all about understanding the voids you're trying to fill. Am I hungry? Am I bored? Am I lonely?"
She credits Ruthie for doing the work internally. "Ruthie and I worked together as a team," Ricki shares via email. "She really started to understand her routines and why she was eating even when she wasn't hungry."
Ruthie goes on to explain her own personal struggles with weight loss, saying, "I used to think that I had to be restrictive to lose weight. Not eat a lot or just work out for the goal of weight loss. In a nutshell, I struggled a lot."
Ruthie After
Self-forgiveness played a huge role in Ruthie's success. She says, "I've learned through BTW to forgive myself when I have off days. I dust myself off and move on. Before BTW, if I had a slip up in my diet, I would be incredibly hard on myself, I would take a 'f*ck it' attitude and go downhill and fast. Ricki has helped me recognize that this is a process and a bad day doesn't make or break my progress."
Changing her mindset has helped Ruthie find some peace of mind. Ruthie writes, "I have changed my relationship with food. It's only right to quote Ricki here: 'food is fuel.' I didn't used to think of it that way. I love to eat, but I have learned that food used to be more than fuel for me - it was an emotional outlet I used to satisfy me when I was bored, sad, happy. Now, while I still enjoy eating, I recognize it is to fuel my body, not my emotions."
Ruthie's Diet and Workout Plan
Breakfast: I have a chocolate Shakeology shake with peanut butter and almond milk practically every morning. It is like dessert for breakfast, and I'm still getting a ton of nutrition. I love it, and it fills me up!
Lunch: I usually end up getting a big salad for lunch with shrimp or tofu, and I love getting fruit in it.
Dinner: I try to plan in advance every Sunday, and I love experimenting with recipes. Lately I have been really into spiralized zucchini or butternut squash and some riced cauliflower recipes. When I don't get to plan or need something quickly, my go-to is scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese, which I always keep on hand.
Ruthie walks 10,000 steps a day, which is a requirement in the program.
"I walk. A lot. When I first kicked things off with Ricki less than a year ago, I got a Fitbit and tracked my steps without making any changes, just to see what my starting point was. I was not even getting 7K a day on a regular weekday (excluding the gym). I changed my commute (less subway, more blocks), I always opt for the long way, and I take walks around meals. One time, I had a flight delay while I was in the Denver airport and I just walked up and down the long terminal rather than sit around all day."
She also eats between 1300 to 1500 calories a day and aims to make dinner her smallest meal of the day, something she learned from the program. Ruthie says, "Change is hard, especially when you're trying to lose weight, but it's not about being mean to yourself or quitting or saying screw it. It's about learning from your mistakes, being a little kinder to yourself, and moving forward. People need to understand this. It needs to be talked about more. The ebb and flow of motivation and how to deal with setbacks, because that's really what throws people off or why they quit."
Ruthie continues: "The past is the past and I try very hard to leave it there. Setbacks are a part of life and human nature. I try to go back to the basics right away. I don't wait for the next week or the next month to reset. I shake it off and hit the reset button as soon as possible. I forgive myself and I look forward."

Goldie Hawn's Reason For Never Marrying Kurt Russell Makes Total Sense
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been together for 33 years, and despite never officially tying the knot, they're still one of Hollywood's strongest couples. That fact, however, doesn't stop people from constantly asking them about their decision not to marry. Earlier this week, Hawn clarified (hopefully once and for all) during an interview on the British talk show Loose Women.
"I would have been long divorced if I'd been married," she said. "Marriage is an interesting psychological thing. If you need to feel bound to someone, then it's important to be married. If you have independence, if you have enough money and sense of independence and you like your independence, there's something psychological about not being married because if gives you the freedom to make decisions one way or the other. For me, I chose to stay, Kurt chose to stay, and we like the choice."

This Little Girl's Tearful Speech About the Charlotte Police Shooting Will Break Your Heart
At an emotionally-charged Charlotte City Council meeting, 9-year-old Zianna Oliphant stood before the packed space to express her heartbreak in the wake of the shooting of Keith Lamont Scott by Charlotte police officers. The video of her speech, shown above, will bring you to tears.
Zianna started her speech by saying, "I've come here today to talk about how I feel, and I feel like that we are treated differently than other people." She added, "I don't like how we're treated. Just because of our color - [that] doesn't mean anything to me." It was at this point that Zianna had to stop as she broke into tears.
She then continued by conveying the frustration and hopelessness she feels as a result of the ongoing police shootings of unarmed black men and women. She said, "I've been born and raised in Charlotte and I've never felt this way until now. I can't stand how we're treated." Zianna ended her speech with this powerful statement: "It's a shame that our fathers and mothers are killed, and we can't even see them anymore . . . We need our fathers and mothers to be by our side."
Since the speech, Zianna's mother spoke with the NBC News and said her children are in a police youth league and have always looked up to officers, thereby making the news of the shooting even more difficult for Zianna to grapple with.
1 Batter, 3 Layers: Magic Cakes You'll Have to Bake Up to Believe

7 Foods to Absolutely Avoid If You Want Clear, Glowing Skin
Two weeks ago, I went to Whole Foods and stocked up on coconut milk, almond butter, frozen veggies, fresh berries, organic meats, wild salmon, and quinoa. My boyfriend could interpret what this meant: Lauren is back on another food detox.
It started last Summer when I completed Dr. Frank Lipman's two-week Be Well Cleanse. This is a 14-day program in which you eliminate the food groups that most people are sensitive to, including gluten, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, nightshade vegetables, and eggs, among other things, replacing them with a plant-based diet that includes select organic lean meats and fish. You also drink three shakes a day incorporating Dr. Lipman's special blend of powders and take supplements. I learned a ton about myself, my habits, and my skin.
Though I have yet to return to the official cleanse, I do repeat some of the guidelines from it when I feel off-balance, seem bloated, or have less-than-desirable skin (blochy, broken out, puffy under-eyes). Typically, I try to eliminate gluten, dairy, and sugar for about a week or two until I feel and look better. Within three days of sticking to this diet plan, my skin brightens, I fall asleep easier and earlier, and my jeans fit better. It's not about dieting or losing weight; it's about creating harmony within my body. A healthy gut undeniably yields more gorgeous skin.
According to Dr. Lipman, "Your skin is your largest organ and a window into what's going on inside your body. Poor food choices that cause inflammation can lead to numerous skin issues."
If a cleanse is a bit dramatic for you, no worries. You can still reap some of the benefits by making these seven food swaps. Dr. Lipman outlined which foods to avoid, why they are toxic for your skin, and what to replace them with.

Lea Michele Is the Queen of This Dress Style, and She Cannot Be Overthrown
"Another day, another minidress for Lea Michele," I think to myself as I scroll through my Instagram feed. "Hey hater, WTF?" says the other side of my brain. Because here's the thing about Lea and minidresses: she wears the hell out of them. The Scream Queens star, who's styled by Brad Goreski, has walked plenty of red carpets. She's got her pick of silhouettes, but Lea usually stays true to her favorite look.
It's a sexy little number with a short hemline and tight fit that allows her to show off her toned legs. Lucky for us, Lea shares plenty of behind-the-scenes snaps before she heads to an event, usually standing right in the middle of her beauty team. Girl looks good, and that will never change.

If You Don't Follow This Senior Dog Facebook Page, You're Seriously Missing Out
If you're considering "unplugging" from social media, we've got one thing that might convince you to stick around: old, adorable dogs. The Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary Facebook page is probably the purest place on the internet, and the elderly canine rescue will make you smile every time you log on to your timeline. Located in Mount Juliet, TN, Old Friends is a sanctuary dedicated to finding "forever fosters" for dogs who are over the hill. Luckily for us (and the page's 1.4 million - and counting! - followers) the sanctuary posts sweet updates multiple times per day.
While a property filled with old dogs looking for homes might sound depressing, Old Friends is the exact opposite; there's nothing sweeter than seeing elderly pooches enjoying retirement together. From Leo, the shaggy lady killer, to Mildred, the one-eyed Pug who is running for president, you'll grow to love and look forward to seeing these pups-at-heart on your Facebook page.
Don't believe us? Well check out these adorable posts from Old Friends and the overwhelmingly positive responses from formerly jaded social media users. You'll click "like" faster than you can say "awww." (You're welcome.)
Are Those Kiddie Shopping Carts at Target Really "Vehicles of Mass Destruction?"
When it comes to making its shoppers happy, Target gets a lot right. Remember when their refreshingly progressive policy on breastfeeding went viral? Or, we bet you can recall the day you found out the stores give free cookies and fruit to kids while you shop? The retail chain is so beloved by families that a boy even celebrated his birthday party there!
But, when Target gets something wrong, well, leave it to those same moms to call them out on it. En masse.
That's what happened when Target introduced miniature shopping carts for children in its stores nationwide in August to the horror of parents and non-parents alike.
What's so terrible about giving kids - who likely could use something to keep occupied - a pint-sized shopping cart?
To one mom, who started an unofficial organization called MASTC, or "Mothers Against Stupid Tiny Carts," the carts were tantamount to "vehicles of mass destruction." She admitted that for the first 10 seconds, watching her child push the small red cart was "the cutest thing I have ever seen," but it soon devolved into an epic battle that included being rammed in the shin multiple times, apologizing when her child would collide with someone else's cart (or ankle), and having to deal with the ensuing tantrum when she refused to purchase any of the toys he put into his little cart.
And she wasn't alone:
What have you done, @Target?!? Kids carts???? Worst idea.

Liv is obsessed with the little carts at @Target 😂👌 http://pic.twitter.com/NG4si4p2Tz

Might be time for @target to offer people free beer to enjoy while they shop if they are going to give kids mini carts. Not pleasant!
- Tucker Pearce (@pearceweb) September 18, 2016
Dear @Target re: kids carts - LOSE THEM or lose me as a customer.
- J.C. (@jcline35) September 17, 2016
Following such complaints, the retailer pulled the plug on the pilot program just a few weeks after the "kiddie carts" were introduced to 72 Target locations.
"At Target, our guests are at the center of everything we do, and we value their feedback," Kristy Welker, a Target spokesperson, said in a statement. "After reviewing guest feedback, we have made the decision to stop the test."
So, now that the powers that be have relegated all those once-adorable mini-carts to back rooms and storage closets, is all right in the Target world? Not quite . . .
My girls BEG me to take them shopping at @Target so they can "shop" like mom with their own cart... and now the carts are gone. #targetfail
- Kari Stroud (@KariStroud10) September 22, 2016
@Target my target never had the kiddie carts, but I am a big supporter of them. Pushing my own cart was my favorite thing growing up!!
- Valerie Adcock (@Dramaqueen8981) September 25, 2016
With guidance @Target, these carts were amazing. Patience is 🔑. 👎🏾 to #mastc http://pic.twitter.com/BsnCu30wFX
- Ms. TT (@VirgoTeaz) September 23, 2016
Where do you stand on this heated debate? Are kid-sized shopping carts truly the root of all retail evil, or are a few bruises to the leg a small price to pay so your kid can pretend to run errands while they still think it's fun?
This New App Will Improve Your Grammar and Ruin Your Friendships
Do you hate it when someone constantly misuses "they're" and "their" or, more frustratingly, "your" and "you're?" Then, Grammar Snob, an iOS 10-only app, is made for you. The app copyedits sent texts using red stickers that resemble a teacher's handwritten corrections, for example.
Grammar Snob's stickers are pretty varied and cover everything from the correct usage of apostrophes to the proper spelling of espresso. (No, it's not expresso.) While the app might make some people appear condescending, it can also be a lighthearted way for friends to make fun of each other while getting a grammar lesson in the process. In other words, use responsibly.
It's worth noting that the app is only compatible with the latest iOS 10 software by Apple, which makes sense given the system's several exciting iMessage updates.

The 10 Worst Medical Mistakes on Grey's Anatomy
Sure, we love all the drama and intrigue Grey's Anatomy delivers every week. Of course we love to sit on the edge of our seats, cry our eyes out, and shout at the screen. But would we want to actually get sick at Grey-Sloane Memorial? Probably not, because the doctors on Grey's Anatomy barely think twice about bending the laws of ethics to get what they want. Here's a look at some of the most egregious and dangerous things the doctors have done - things that should have gotten their medical licenses yanked.
I Ate 11 Different Pies in 1 Sitting and Lived to Tell the Tale
When you think of Fall, what's the first dish that comes to mind? For me, it's pie. If you sat me down at a table with every type of pie ever created, chances are I'd devour each one. So you can image my delight when I received an invitation to Pie Night at Dominique Ansel Kitchen in NYC. From savory to sweet, the assortment of dreamy pies served up that night convinced me that Chef Dominique is some culinary mind reader. Guests were even sent home with a cup of hot apple cider. Talk about the perfect autumnal feast.
While the unique selection of pies isn't available in the shop, all 11 are available for preorder online and can be picked up in store this weekend only. Keep reading for a look at the menu and a glimpse of my favorites.
