This Lebanese Bride's Custom Wedding Dress Was So Magical, It Got Its Own Hashtag
Dana Wolley is a fashion influencer located in the Middle East, and she's got quite the eclectic taste. You can imagine, then, that her wedding dress was not typical. In fact, Dana didn't just have one gown, but three special pieces that she wore for various ceremonies when she married Samer Zayat. The couple's nuptials took place this past Summer, but Dana just 'grammed a throwback photo that reminded us how magical her Esposa Prive silhouette was. It wasn't white, but a champagne shade that was covered in ornate beading and complemented by Mouawad jewels.
Dana danced the night away in Nicholas Kirkwood platforms that she called "the most comfortable bridal shoe ever." Needless to say, we'd sacrifice a little comfort for a heel complete with a genuine hand-picked pearl too. As unique as all the little details might be, we were struck most by the process of designing a dress from start to finish, which Dana documented on Instagram. Read on to see how she finally arrived at her majestic look, and check out the other outfits she slipped into before the reception even began.

How 1 Woman Beat Her Sugar Addiction For Good
My last name isn't Sugar for nothing. You see, I come from a long line of sugar-lovers. I learned from the very best, my mother, who has an entire kitchen cabinet devoted to Peanut M&Ms. I once watched all 5 feet of her devour a king-size Hershey's Almond Bar in one sitting, so I know the apple (pie) didn't fall far from the tree. And the scale was living proof.
I had learned through my many weight-loss mistakes that I needed to eat healthier all day long, but eating healthy all day made me want to cave at night. As soon as that last bite of supper made it to my lips, my brain immediately went to dessert.
I knew the issue went deep when I'd have a decent-size serving of dessert but always wanted more. One small bowl of ice cream easily had me rummaging through my cupboard for a handful of chocolate chips. Oh, and while we're at it, let's crumble that cookie on top. I wondered why I felt foggy, had dull headaches, or woke up in the middle of the night with stomach cramps. I also didn't want my husband to know. Then came the day he caught me hiding behind the freezer door with a spoon hanging from my mouth. I knew right then and there, I was an addict who needed to break this sugar habit.
After polishing off a pint of So Delicious Snickerdoodle Cashew Milk ice cream (holy deliciousness!), I went cold turkey. I had to. That's just my personality. It's all or nothing, baby, and I knew I couldn't have just one little taste, so I had to have none at all. But instead of denying myself anything sweet, I switched to fresh fruit. I didn't just have a boring old banana. I took the time to prepare a gorgeous rainbow-colored fruit bowl. Sliced mango, strawberries, blueberries, pear, cantaloupe, apple, banana, kiwi, and clementines. I'll tell you after that first bowl of fruit, I was pissed. Because fruit is not ice cream. I stuck with it though. For an entire week, then two weeks, then three. By that time, I was completely in the habit of eating fruit, and since I had stopped buying and baking all those treats, the temptation and the cravings dissipated. Now after dinner, I crave sweet juicy grapes, watermelon, and raspberries. Seriously.
But a week later, while pressing my face against the glass door of the ice cream freezer shopping one day, I noticed a new flavor of cashew milk ice cream - salted caramel cluster. Sweet dairy-free goodness! I'm sorry, but as a vegan, it was my duty to buy that sh*t. And I didn't even wait until after dinner. As soon as I got home, I tore off the lid. It was so perfectly soft and creamy, and that first spoonful was heavenly. But to my absolute shock, it tasted too sweet. TOO SWEET?! How is that even possible? I was addicted to sugar, remember? After a few more spoonfuls, I couldn't take it, and get this - I put it back in the freezer. I had finally beaten my sugar addiction.
Don't get me wrong - I still eat real sugar but not every single day. This little experiment gave my habits a reset, so now I'm able to enjoy things in moderation without going overboard. I've realized there are ways to get my sweet fix without eating refined sugars. I bake date-sweetened cookies, swirl up some ice cream made with frozen fruit, or use fresh fruit to sweeten baked goods like these banana strawberry apple grape muffins. And for those times when I'm really craving something more, a handful of raw almonds with chocolate chips usually does the trick. Or I go a little nuts and bake chocolate cupcakes, eat one (or four, you know, whatever), then I give the rest away.
So if you want to cut down on the white stuff, what you need to do is - get ready for it - cut down on the white stuff! I did it cold turkey, but you can do it more gradually. The end result is the same. I found the more sugar I ate, the more I craved it. So when I didn't eat it, I didn't crave it. I felt a sense of lightness and mental clarity, but the freedom I felt from not being chained to sugar was refreshing. You know when you eat healthy and you feel good? Yeah, that happened. And that's what keeps me going.

5 Ways to Stop Judging Other Parents
Women have a habit of being a bit, well, judgmental. And it seems like that's especially true of moms. Whether we are sitting on the sidelines or standing by the swing set, we have a tendency of pointing to a fellow parent and pinpointing her flaws. And most of the time these judgments are based solely on appearance or hearsay.
Well, moms, I say enough with the mean-girl behavior. Not only do these actions affect our peers, but think of the impact they have on our children. After all, how can we teach them to be kind to others when we don't practice what we preach? So rather than resolving to change our appearance in the New Year, why not alter our attitude? It may be easier than we think.

Before Lisa Bonet, Jason Momoa Was in 1 Other Very Serious Relationship
If you can even fathom it, we all once lived in a world that did not know Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet as a couple. Before the two met in 2005, tied the knot in 2007, welcomed their two children, Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf, and formed one of Hollywood's sweetest modern families, Jason was romantically involved with someone else. While many celebrity dating histories involve a handful of relationships, Jason's proves that he's really a monogamist at heart.
Before Lisa, the Aquaman actor was in a serious romance with Australian actress Simmone Mackinnon. The two began dating in 1999 after starring in Baywatch together and became engaged in 2004 before eventually parting ways in 2006. At the end of his romance with Simmone, Jason met Lisa and the two broke up not long after. He then quickly began dating the Cosby Show actress and the rest is history.
14 Interesting Facts About Mario Batali That Will Make You Love Him Even More
If you've ever been to Eataly in New York City, you can thank Mario Batali. The chef and restauranteur wears many hats (and many Crocs), and he's been gracing TV screens for years with his charm and unparalleled Italian-food knowledge - but could you ever have guessed what he would have been if he wasn't a chef? Keep reading for that plus more fun facts about the world-renowned culinary guru that will make you love him even more.
- He was born in Seattle but went to high school in Madrid.
- If he had to live off three meals alone, they would be "linguine with clams, bucatini all'amatriciana, and a fried oyster po boy," he told Serious Eats.
- You know that he's known for wearing Crocs all the time, but did you know he's been a fan since the very beginning? "I fell in love with Crocs immediately," Mario told AOL Food. "They were originally fishing shoes from Colorado. I started wearing them and the rest is history. I have like 30 little [Jibbitz] things to put [on] them."
- He can't live without spaghetti or hot sauce.
- There's a reason that his signature color is orange: it reminds him of being happy. In fact, he once ordered 200 pairs of orange Crocs because the color was being discontinued.
- He practices transcendental meditation.
- If he wasn't a chef, he'd be a pool boy. "I would be a pool boy in Hollywood or Beverly Hills," he once told Food & Wine.
- Growing up, he thought he would be a football player. "Then I got the sh*t knocked out of me at age 11," he told Details.
- Unsurprisingly, his kids weren't picky eaters growing up. He told Time Out New York, "The way to not have a picky eater is for the kids to work with you in the kitchen. Once they've done anything to a vegetable, by the time it's cooked, they're like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna eat this. Of course I'm gonna eat this.'"
- Everyone in his family knew how to cook. "It was part of the fabric of our everyday life," he told Epicurious.
- His recommendation for a hangover fix? "Hair of the dog, my friend. Or full on hard exercise for half an hour."
- He thinks bad pizza is worse than bad sex.
- He thinks the most overrated food trend is . . . bacon. "I love bacon, but it doesn't need to be in every single dessert or savory dish," he told Time.
- He's not just on the East Coast! Batali has a line of organic salami at San Francisco butcher Belcampo Meat Co.

5 Ways to "Clean Up" Your Family's Food Habits
Growing up, my family's New Year's resolutions always revolved around healthier eating. Usually, that meant following whatever diet our doctor deemed the best at the time. We'd start off strong, but by the end of the month we'd be stuffing our faces with pasta (though, to be fair, that was a fairly normal occurrence in our Italian household.) As the new year approaches, your family may have a similar goal. But rather than eliminating foods or counting calories, why not take on the clean-eating lifestyle? Centered on the idea of consuming foods in their most natural state, clean eating prevents you from consuming excess calories, fats, and sugars without any real dietary restrictions. Sound good? Read on to learn how you and your family can embark on a healthier 2017.
Serve More Fruits and Vegetables
The easiest way to get your family on a cleaner path is to go green (or red, or orange, or yellow). Packed with vitamins and fiber, produce provides kids with the nutrients they need to grow strong and keeps them fuller for a longer period of time. Of course, children rarely reach for broccoli as an after-school snack, so you may have to sneak some greens into their favorite foods.
Eat Less Meat
While we love meat for its iron and protein (and, obviously, taste) certain cuts contain a lot of saturated fat - a big no-no for clean eating. Try going meatless a few nights a week, and substitute your steak for fish, beans, or tofu.
Give In to Whole Grains
A simple bread swamp can clean up your child's lunch. White bread lacks the nutrients that its whole-grain counterparts have to offer. If your child is hesitant to try whole-wheat bread because of the color or texture, try easing them into the transition by using a slice of each on their sandwich.
Remove Excess Sugars
Cutting out candy, cookies, and soda is a good start, but it takes a little more effort to eliminate extra sugar from your family's diet. When buying packaged foods, even the healthier ones like yogurt and tomato sauce, search the label for any of sugar's many pseudonyms. If it's listed near the bottom of the ingredient list (or better yet, not at all), then it's not prominent in the food. That being said, don't deprive your kids of all things sweet. A little treat every once in a while won't hurt them.
Avoid the Aisles
Here's a supermarket trick: the healthier items are placed on the perimeter of the store. Walk through the aisles, and you'll find packaged foods that are filled with excess sodium, sugar, and fat. Try to limit your shopping in this area, and when you do venture down these aisles, make sure to read the labels to pick your healthiest options.

If You Want to Lose Weight From Running, Read This
You started running months ago, yet every time you hop on the scale, you're let down by the results. What gives? While running does burn mega calories, here are some reasons you may not be seeing the weight-loss results you're after.
Postrun Pig-Outs
Burning tons of calories can cause a famished feeling afterward, but it's important to fuel wisely. Choose junk food as your recovery food and not only are you overdoing it on the calorie front, you'll be hungry again in the next hour. Although a postrun snack is essential, make sure it's packed with protein and filling carbs and does not exceed 150 calories. If you exercised before a meal, enjoy a sensibly portioned plate, and don't go overboard as a way to reward your efforts. If you still find you're utterly famished after a workout, it probably means you need to fuel up before you exercise, so enjoy one of these pre-workout snacks before heading out for a run.
You Don't Run Enough
If you're running and not seeing results, take a look at your calendar. Doing one 45-minute run or a couple 20-minute runs a week won't burn enough calories to lose weight. In order to lose a pound a week, you'll need to cut 500 calories each day, through a combination of diet and exercise. If losing weight is your goal, run three to four times per week and incorporate other forms of calorie-burning cardio and/or metabolism-boosting strength training on the other days.
You're Burning Less Than You Think
You just got back from a run, you're covered in sweat, and you're convinced you burned over 500 calories. But did you really? A 150-pound woman will burn 495 calories running for 45 minutes at a 10-minute-per-mile pace. If you didn't run for that long or that fast, then you're not burning as many calories as you thought. It's best to track your workout just to be sure, using a heart rate monitor or one of these cheap running apps on your phone.
Same Workout, Different Day
If you found a great three-mile loop in your neighborhood, running it for a few weeks can help running become a habit. The problem lies with continually doing the same running workout. Your muscles will quickly adapt to the demands you're placing on them, which is a surefire way to hit a weight-loss plateau. Avoid this issue by mixing up your running workouts: include speed intervals, hills, long runs, and short runs, and run on different surfaces and in new places to keep your muscles guessing and continuously strengthening. Check out these four training techniques that will challenge your run. As mentioned earlier, it's also important not to make running your sole source of exercise. Include other forms of cardio as well as strength training since muscle mass burns more calories and speeds up your metabolism.
It's Not Just About the Scale
Running is one of the best ways to tone your lower body because it helps diminish fat while building muscle. Muscle tissue is more dense than fat tissue, so it takes up less space. This means that although your weight might not decrease (and might even go up a little), other body measurements will change, such as waist circumference, bra size, or the shape of your tush. The number on the scale isn't always the best way to monitor your progress. Even though the scale's not budging, you might be able to fit into those skinny jeans you had your eye on.

The Story of Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak May Be WAY Darker Than We Thought
For many Harry Potter fans, one of the most iconic parts of the entire series is the "Tale of the 3 Brothers," a supposed legend from The Tales of Beedle the Bard that has very real implications for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The tale of Cadmus, Ignotus, and Antioch Peverell's quest to defy death turns out to be real, inspiring Lord Voldemort to seek out their famed possessions: three gifts from Death called the Deathly Hallows. Luckily for Harry, he already owns one (the invisibility cloak) as a distant descendant of the Peverell clan.
As intriguing as the story is, one Reddit user's dark theory about the Deathly Hallows adds another element of mystery to the Peverell legend.
The theory - which purports that perhaps the three brothers were necromancers summoning the dead - establishes the idea that the three hallows are bits of Death's own arsenal, intended to curse the men who strove to bridge the gap between life and death. The Elder Wand is a bit of Death itself, which can summon immediate death through the killing curse. The Resurrection Stone is part of the arch that holds the veil of Death. And the Cloak of Invisibility is a bit of the veil itself, the gateway through which the dead pass. Sound familiar?
Harry himself sees this archway of death with his own eyes, theorizes the Redditor, in the Department of Mysteries during Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. He hears the whispers of the dead through the arch and witnesses his godfather Sirius pass from the side of the living over to the side of the dead. His possession of the invisibility cloak could explain why he is able to hear these whispers at all and why he is so intently drawn to the Veil of Death during his time in the Department of Mysteries. If he truly bridges the gap between life and death, it means that Harry isn't fully alive.
What do you think about this theory? Could Harry's ownership of the cloak mean that he bridges the gap between death and life? Let us know in the comments!
Watch Camila Cabello's Last Fifth Harmony Performance Ever!
The end of an era is here: Camila Cabello's last performance with Fifth Harmony aired on TV on Dec. 31, just a few minutes before the beginning of 2017.
The group, with its five original members, recorded performances for both "Work From Home" and "That's My Girl" ahead of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, mere days before posting an announcement on Camila's departure on their social media that turned into a game of she said, they said. Ally, Dinah, Lauren, and Normani revealed they will continue in the group, saying they "consistently made every effort to sit down and discuss the future of Fifth Harmony with Camila" without any luck.
Press play above to watch their performance of "That's My Girl" - we're not going to lie, it'll make you sad to see all that chemistry and hear their beautiful voices together for the last time. But if you're worried about what they might sound sans-Camila, just check out this preview a hardcore fan made.

The Viral Video of Some Guy Fainting on a Roller Coaster Just Got an Even Funnier Makeover
Nothing gets adrenaline pumping like a roller coaster, but the fast-paced ride at an amusement park was a little too much for Twitter user rickeyj_2 to handle. Back in July, Twitter users went crazy when he posted a video of a young man repeatedly fainting and waking back up during the course of a roller coaster ride.
As if the original clip wasn't entertaining enough, a new version has just surfaced - one that plays the old-school Microsoft Windows startup and shutdown sound effects every time the man passes out and regains consciousness. The internet has once again asserted its standing as a strange yet simultaneously glorious place . . .
Though it's not 100 percent confirmed whether this dude is actually fainting every single time, the newly edited video is still hilarious, and we can't stop replaying it. Watch the humorous video above, and catch some of the on-point reactions below.

Miley Cyrus Will Win You Over With Her Wedding Dress
I don't know when or if Miley Cyrus is getting married. Maybe she doesn't even know. But in my imaginary world, she walks down the aisle in a pretty spectacular wedding dress. You see, ever since I was young, I looked at Miley as someone who represented versatility. She played two different characters on Hannah Montana, and my younger sister plastered posters of Miley all over her walls, some in which she was dressed up like Hannah, others in which she was just herself, in jeans and a three-quarter-sleeved tee. But even when she was just being Miley, the actress and singer looked unique and a little bit quirky.
She's gone through many stages, but there has never been a time when Miley's paid attention to trends. During her rise to fame, she wore flares and cowboy boots, maybe because they were representative of where she came from: Franklin, TN. Post-breakup with Liam Hemsworth (the two have recently rekindled their relationship), Miley kind of went HAM with her wardrobe. And I liked it. What she wore, or didn't wear, was all a part of her personal revolution.
Miley's style at this point could basically be described as costume like. She dressed as a twerking teddy bear and supported LGBT rights in rainbows and big, furry coats. Then, at the 2015 Met Gala, the industry's elite gathered on the red carpet, but Miley stood alone in a cutout Alexander Wang gown. It ended up on some "worst dressed" lists, but I think it was my favorite outfit of the night. It didn't seem like Miley was trying to appear sexy or edgy but just to look like herself.
So now, as outsiders speculate whether Miley and Liam are engaged, I can't help but to imagine her would-be bridal look. I doubt Miley Cyrus's wedding dress will be all white. It might be neon, a mix of colors, or come with an inflatable skirt. Miley might not wear a wedding dress at all, should she get married. Maybe she'll go naked. She recently revealed on the Today show that she prefers to stay out of the fashion conversation: "I don't want people to talk about what I'm wearing. That's usually why I don't wear too much," she said.
One thing's for sure: if Miley Cyrus gets married, her look won't include a ballgown so glamorous, everyone focuses on the pretty (or crazy!) details. They won't be talking about The Dress, because god knows it won't be wearing her. It'll be all about Miley. Read on to see why we know Miley will hit it out of the park on her special day.

If You Try to Figure Out the Mistake in This Math Problem, It'll Make You Go Crazy
Not all math problems are meant to be solved - some are here just to watch the world burn and make people question everything they ever learned in school.

The photo, shared by Facebook user Antley Lamont Staten, shows a photo of a man holding up two sheets of paper. One paper has the numbers 1-9 written on it. The other paper asks people to share when you find the mistake. Try to solve it for yourself below:
