Gryffindors, You May Not Love What This Study Says About Who You're Voting For
Whether you're someone who loves their Hogwarts house or believes they are more of a hybrid between two, if you're a Harry Potter fan you carry some serious pride about what it says about your identity and personality. But have you ever thought about what it says about your political leanings? Now you can, thanks to a new study that found who you're most likely to vote for, based on your Hogwarts house.
The study, done by Civic Science, a polling and research company, surveyed 1,193 people and asked them which house they identify with, what wine they like, and who they'd vote for. The results may surprise you!
If you're a Slytherin and Ravenclaw, you're most likely voting for Hillary Clinton. Hufflepuffs are leaning more towards voting for Gary Johnson, and Gryffindors, with all their courage and pride, will most likely vote Donald Trump. Yep, you read that right: the house of Voldemort is pro Clinton, but where the "Boy Who Lived" was sorted is more into Trump.
Do what you will with this information, but the real question is: would J.K. Rowling agree?
Kate Middleton Might Just Be the World's Best Dressed Maid of Honor

Her wardrobe, which includes a variety of sparkling and chiffon gowns that would definitely work for maid of honor duty. While we still have no clue what styles Pippa picked out for Kate - or if the royal will even be in her sister's wedding, since her appearance could cause a whole lot of chaos - the duchess's past looks could very well be the inspiration the bride-to-be needs and has us dreaming up possibilities.

You've Definitely Seen This Photo on Your Favorite Blogger's Feed
One quick scroll through Instagram and you're bound to spot a few photos of fashion girls carrying this must-have item. Nope, it's not a bag. Not even a leather jacket. Rather, it's a cup, sometimes mug, of coffee. Matcha or cappuccino if they're feeling fancy (or if it's #NationalCappuccinoDay).
The truth is, our days often call for a little extra fuel, and with ">the pefect photo op presenting itself in the form of a paper cup, we can't help but snap away. But before you try your hand at this kind of 'gram, it's good to keep these four variations in mind.
- Coffee with a side of shoes: From above, capturing the coffee, but secretly showing off your footwear.
- A full or partial outfit accessorized with coffee: Also from above or taken by a friend, where the coffee is just an added, stylish bonus.
- Coffee on a table, surrounded by pretty things: The table must look artsy - wooden or marble preferred. Your bag and even a well-accessorized hand or arm are welcome additions.
- Cozy coffee on a bed or a furry rug: This shows you're lazy, but not too lazy to take a stylized photo of your legs and your caffeine.
Read on for a bit of inspiration, then post your own and let those "likes" roll on in.

This Woman Was in Active Labor When She Voted So You Have No Excuse
Too busy to vote? Sorry, not buying it. Your hectic workday is no excuse, especially when you consider what this pregnant woman was dealing with when she took the time to cast her ballot.
Colorado resident Soshy Adelstein wasn't due to give birth until Election Day, but she went into labor on Nov. 4. Instead of rushing to the hospital, she and her husband, Max Brandel, stopped by the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office to do their civic duty first.
At that time, her contractions were roughly seven to 10 minutes apart, and she said the whole process conveniently took about 10 minutes.
Next stop was Boulder Community Health Foothills Hospital, where Soshy gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Bella Rose on Nov. 5, roughly 14 hours after they voted . . . for Hillary Clinton.
"It's really important for us to bring our girl into a world we are proud of," Max said. "We hope people realize the risks inherent in this election and get out and vote."
And if they could fit it into their busy schedules, so can you.
See How Hillary Clinton's Beauty Look Has Changed From the '60s to 2016
The minute Bill Clinton began his speech at the Democratic National Convention, all I wanted to do was Google vintage photos of young Hillary Rodham Clinton wearing "flowery skirts, big glasses, and no makeup." Listen, I acknowledge that Hillary Clinton is breaking the glass ceiling in the most major way possible in modern history (hello, Mrs. President!). And she should be known for a hell of a lot more than her looks. My feminist spirit is ignited every time I hear about the ways she has helped people throughout her career. But that doesn't mean we all can't enjoy the guilty pleasure of looking at these #ThrowbackThursday photos of her classic beauty style.
During my research on Hillary's hair and makeup choices, I discovered that she definitely wore makeup - specifically those beautiful brick-red shades of the '90s - and has an affinity for bangs. Her luscious brown eyebrows, which pop against her golden-hued mane, combat those of Cara Delevingne. It's also fun to get a glimpse of Bill Clinton's handsome jawline in his younger years.
Whether you're with her or not, you can't deny that these vintage images of Hillary prove that she is a beautiful woman inside and out.

Elsa Hosk's Advice For New VS Models Should Be Your Everyday Mantra
Elsa Hosk may be primarily known as a Victoria's Secret Angel, but that's far from the only credit on her résumé. The model - who even pursued a career in professional basketball at one point - has strutted her stuff for Dolce & Gabbana and Moschino and now stars in n:Philanthropy's most recent campaign. The brand is known for giving 10 percent of its net proceeds to charity, and Elsa happens to be quite the perfect match. Unbeknownst to some, she's heavily involved with FAIR Girls, an organization that helps survivors of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
To many, Elsa's schedule may seem kinda hectic, but the model has a great outlook on how to juggle it all. "You have to find times to do things you really believe in and are passionate about," she told us, speaking primarily about her volunteer work when we sat down to chat. "Then, your normal work gets a lot easier and more fun as well. We all have time, even if you feel like your schedule is so busy. Doing the things you are passionate about will make you more happy, well rounded, and more centered. It will be easier to do everything else."
Elsa wasn't even done sharing her helpful tips: she also had a few for new models about to walk the Victoria's Secret runway. "The best advice that I ever got was just have fun. Feel the vibe. Feel the music. Don't feel insecure. You're there for a reason. Just rock it and have fun."

Zendaya Has a Clear Vision For Her Brand, and It Has Something to Do With Oprah
It's not too often that a child star successfully transitions into adulthood, poised, professional, and ready to take on the world. But that's exactly what Zendaya has done. While she's still a hit with the younger crowd thanks, in part, to her Disney roots, the actress is expanding her fanbase, as well as the "designer" part of her resume, by launching her very own clothing line and e-commerce site, Daya by Zendaya.
Expanding on her her first big fashion venture, shoes, every piece from the (mostly) gender fluid collection rings in under $158, and sizing ranges from 0-22. "That was, like, a no brainer or a deal breaker," she said, speaking about inclusivity with us during a roundtable interview. "That had to happen for me. I can't just talk the talk. I can't just say all this stuff about inclusivity and loving people and breaking barriers and actually not do it when it comes to my own stuff."
As for any advice she's received on her new gig, Zendaya admitted she went to the pros. "One thing that Dominco [of Dolce & Gabbana] told me was that it's for the people. What you do is for the poeple. It's not about you, it's about them. It's understanding the people, and that is the driving force behind it."
Zendaya clearly took every type of person into account when creating her oversize hoodies, ruffled dresses, and velvet jumpsuits. But she isn't forgetting about herself, especially when it comes to her career.
"I feel like my brand in general is just expanding," she revealed. "When I think of a brand I'd like to have in the future, I think of Oprah. She's able to do everything. She's also able to keep it so positive. There's always a layer of like, 'If Oprah says [it], it's trusted.' If she says it's the best latte, it's the best latte. It's a trusted brand, and it's something you feel comfortable [with]. There's also a level of empowerment and love and goodness behind it. Everyone feels like they are related to Oprah."
Scroll through to see every piece available on the Daya by Zendaya site. Then, be sure to check out the Zendaya app, which the star launched in conjunction with the collection.

How 1 Teen Model Overcame Being Bullied For Her Bushy Eyebrows
Model Natalia Castellar didn't always love the thick eyebrows that have launched her career. The 17-year-old from Virginia was bullied growing up because of her standout feature.
In an interview with W Magazine, Natalia remembers what it was like hating her signature feature. "When I was younger, they were all anyone would point out. I was bullied terribly because of how thick and long they were, so I wanted to shave them down."
Thankfully, her mom stopped her from shaving them off, and her sister helped change how she viewed herself. She started photographing Natalia and posting the photos to Instagram. Natalia soon gained an impressive social media following and started to book modeling jobs. "It wasn't until thick brows started trending that I started feeling more confident . . . Now I don't care if they stay trendy or not, I love my eyebrows." Everyone can learn a lesson in confidence and self-acceptance from this mature teen.
Models like Cara Delevingne have popularized bolder brows and it doesn't seem that the trend will be vanishing anytime soon considering Natalia's success. The high school junior recently scored jobs with NARS and Mansur Gavriel, her first two major brands.
If you're looking for Natalia's brow secret, you might be disappointed. She doesn't touch hers. The lucky teen naturally has thick, luscious brows but does have one suggestion, "I think that brushing your brows is just as beneficial as using nourishing products. Brushing stimulates growth, and it helps with circulation."
Read on to witness Natalia's unique beauty for yourself.

13 Celebrities That Prove Every Blonde Should Try Rose Gold Hair at Least Once
Whether you're a bottle blonde or naturally blessed with flaxen strands, you have an advantage over dark-haired gals: you have the ideal foundation for rainbow dye.

The Right - and Wrong - Way to Take Your Probiotics
Although probiotics have been around a long while, they're finally becoming a popular mainstream health and wellness product - you'll see probiotic waters, granolas, and even mug muffins at the grocery store nowadays. And it's for good reason! Probiotics are crucial for balancing your gut to be healthier, getting sick less often, having a better mood, and banishing bloating for good.
Culinary nutritionist Amie Valpone, HHC, AADP, has helped us better understand probiotics and their role in a healthy body, so we asked for her tips on how to take them each day - and for how long we should be taking them. She also noted that a probiotic regimen will affect each body differently.
"Each of us is different, so see what works for you," said Amie. "Keep a note in your journal [to log] how you feel taking the probiotics versus not taking them (and also when you eat probiotic-rich foods). We're under so much stress - from our air pollution to our processed foods to our own stresses - this good bacteria will be beneficial!"
- Take them before you eat. Amie suggests you "take probiotics on an empty stomach, so they don't ferment with the foods [you're] eating." Pop one of these probie pills first thing in the morning before you have your first cup of coffee.
- Take them daily. Consistency is key! Especially when you're first beginning your probiotic regimen, it's important to take them daily to notice results. "My suggestion is to keep yourself on a routine of taking the probiotics," she said.
- It's an ongoing effort. When I first started my probiotic regimen, I asked Amie if this is a temporary treatment to rebalance an imbalanced gut, or if my body now depends on the probiotics to have that balance. She suggested taking probiotics as an ongoing effort, but checking in now and then to see how you feel off the pills, as everyone's body is different. "See what works for you!" she said. "The microbiome of the gut is an ever-changing ecosystem, but a steady probiotic routine can help to minimize fluctuations that can cause digestive imbalance in your body."
- Take monthly breaks. Check in with your body and see how you feel after you've been on probiotics for a while. "You can give yourself breaks each month," said Amie. "I've been taking probiotics for over 10 years now, but I do give my body a break for a few days a month, and I make note of how I feel on those days to see if there is any correlation between the bacteria and the way I feel."
- Don't forget them on vacation. "I always pack them when I travel," said Amie. She also noted that "most of my clients get tummy issues from the altitude from planes (constipation) and other bloating issues from eating rich food at restaurants that their bodies aren't used to." Note to self: keep a spare pack of probiotics in the suitcase.
