6 Soul-Gratifying Must Haves For the Kitchen This January
January can be a tough, conflicting month for a foodie. You want all the cheesy, carb-y comfort foods to get through the toughest stint of Winter, and you also want to partake lightly in the cleansing culture that sweeps the States after New Year's Day. We've gathered some soul-gratifying must haves for you, which give you the best of both worlds.
A Brief History of Pharrell Williams's Feminist Awakening
On Monday night, Pharrell Williams honored the female-dominated cast of Hidden Figures at the Palm Springs International Film Festival gala by asking the audience to applaud women's achievements "up till now in human history." On Tuesday morning, he was on the front page of the New York Times website, proclaiming in an interview that the movie, which he produced, was "chipping away at the pro-male narrative that's out there right now, which needs to go." So how did the man who shot to mainstream fame with "Blurred Lines" - and who once said it was "not possible" for him to be a feminist - get to this place? Let's examine.
The Best Dresses Emma Stone's Ever Worn During Award Season
Emma Stone has not so quietly solidified her superstar status in the fashion world along with her A-list reputation in Hollywood. To that point, every time the actress is honored at an award show is another opportunity to see her glamorous style in full effect. The proof of that is inside, as we look back at Emma's jaw-dropping appearances at the Critics' Choice Awards, Golden Globes, SAGs, and Oscars of years past, when she was honored for her roles in The Help and Birdman, respectively.
Now, as we gear up for the Globes on Sunday, we're anticipating another stunning look from the La La Land star. We're predicting the gown will generate almost as much buzz as the movie. Read on to get a glimpse of Emma's award-worthy red carpet history.
8 Totally Underrated Netflix Original Movies
In just a few short years, Netflix has created a strong foundation of original programming. The site produces comedy specials, animated series, documentaries, and more. While the television shows are definitely the more popular content, the original movies shouldn't be overlooked. Spanning multiple genres and featuring star-studded casts, there's a film for everyone. Take a look ahead and check out some of our favorite underrated Netflix original movies!
A Series of Unfortunate Events: Is Season 2 on the Way?
With just a handful of days until another unfortunate Friday the 13th, at least there's something to look forward to: Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Despite the grave insinuations behind the tragic tale, the new series has become one of the most anticipated Netflix originals of 2017. But with the way the original film adaptation flopped so spectacularly in 2003, it's hard not to worry a bit about the future of the series. Will we get our hearts broken once again, never to see the trials of the Baudelaire orphans play out in live action?
Luckily for avid fans, we have some good news: there's a very, very high probability that the show will get a second season. One thing to consider is that almost every Netflix show has been given a second season, regardless of critical reception or viewership. Furthermore, Patrick Warburton all but confirmed another installment during a recent interview with POPSUGAR, saying, "I know that there's talks and preproduction going on right now."
With season one covering the first four books, it looks like we're poised to extend far beyond the original film adaptation of the beloved books. Of course, Netflix has yet to confirm any renewal news, but hopefully you'll sleep a little better at night knowing a second season is basically a go.
Meryl Streep's Road to Making Golden Globes History, in Pictures

In honor of her upcoming big night, we're looking back at Meryl's Golden Globes appearances throughout the years.
Serious Question: Should You Wear Socks in Bed?
I have the faintest memories of wearing socks to bed whenever I came down with a fever or got the chills at night when I was younger. My mother had the habit of turning down the heat when we slept and, as someone who gets cold easily, socks were the quickest solution to warming me up. This all ended abruptly one night when my mom caught me wearing a pair to bed. She claimed it was bad for my health (she had read about it in a book) and demanded I take them off before sleeping. My parents are very health conscious and being a kid and all, I obliged and didn't question her reasoning. After that, I hardly ever wore socks to bed and forgot about the incident altogether, until a few days ago. I had read someone else's conundrum surrounding this very same topic and my childhood memories came flooding back to me.
Is the simple act of wearing socks to bed such a big deal?
I had to find a logical, scientific explanation to this. No fashion question is ever too dumb or unimportant to ask - at least, that's what I was telling myself as I searched - and I felt validated when numerous posts popped up with other people wondering the same thing. I wasn't alone. The short answer to the question is: yes, wearing socks to bed is completely fine. In fact (for the insomniacs out there), it might even help you fall asleep faster. Heating up cold feet causes your blood vessels to dilate, which can signal the brain that it's time for bed. In other words, your feet regulate external temperature, so if you're feeling cold, slip on a pair of socks. If you're feeling hot, simply take them off for a better night's rest. It's all about listening to what your body needs.
Although you should always wear clean socks to bed to prevent bacteria from collecting, there is nothing unhealthy about wearing your favorite fuzzy pair to sleep. I'm not only presenting these findings to my mom ASAP tonight, but I'm also buying new socks that I'll happily wear to sleep whenever I want.

Not Enough Free Space? What to Delete on Your iPhone
Our smartphones are the center of our digital universe, and they hold lots of data: text messages, photos, browsing history, etc. If your iPhone's storage is at capacity, then follow these simple steps to make room for more data.
Identify What's Taking Up the Most Space
Find out what your problem areas are before deciding what to delete.
- On the iPhone, head to Settings General Usage to view how many gigabytes you have available. Apps will be listed by how much storage they occupy - Photos & Camera is likely to be at the top of this list.
- On a Mac or PC, plug the iPhone into a computer and open iTunes to click on the phone icon and view storage broken down by Apps,TV Show, Music, Movies, Photos, and Other. Hover over one of these categories with your mouse to view details. "Other" represents settings, calendar events, notes, browser cache, email, email attachments, and more nonmedia data.
- If Other makes up an overwhelming amount of iPhone storage, then there may be an issue with corrupted data. If you've tried deleting all of our suggestions and there is still lots of Other storage, then consider restoring your iPhone.
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, have backed up the device, and have synced content with your computer. Connect the iPhone to your computer, and in the Summary section under the phone icon, click on Restore iPhone. This returns the iPhone back to factory settings.
Delete Unnecessary Data
While this seems like a no-brainer, there may be some unlikely suspects on this list:
- Delete photos
- On the iPhone, do this in your camera roll. On the Mac, connect your iPhone and open Image Capture (default on all Apple computers). Select photos to delete, and select multiple images by holding down the command key while you click on the photos.
- Text messages
- Call history
- Voicemail
- Safari browser cache (General > Safari > Clear cookies and data)
- Safari browsing history (General > Safari > Clear history)
- Unused/outdated/redundant contacts
- Turn off app notifications
- Delete and reinstall email account to get rid of attachments cache
- Unused apps (long press any app icon on the homescreen and tap the "x" button on the top left of the icon)
- Completed reminders
- Books
- Movies
- Video
- Reduce locally stored music for "offline" listening in music streaming apps
Possible Preventative Solutions
Nip the full-memory problem in the bud next time around. Since photos are typically the biggest problem, download the Google Photos app, which compresses, backs up, and stores unlimited high-quality photos and videos for free, meaning you can delete them from your Camera Roll.
Reduce what is synced to your phone. Consider syncing selected playlists or genres rather than the entire music library, and deleting podcasts, movies, and TV shows after you've finished watching them.

This Comedian Got His Dog to Stop Snoring in the Most Hilarious Way Possible
Loudly snoring dogs can drive any pet owner crazy, but one comedian just figured out the ultimate way to stop his dog from snoring, and it's pretty hilarious. After his Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dozed off for a loud nap, Tal Solomon wanted to give his dog a taste of his own medicine and recorded him snoring.
After filming the dog, Tal plays back the video with the volume turned up. The pup wakes up immediately, does a hilarious double take, and reacts with the most adorable facial expressions. He can't believe the sound of his own snores. Watch the video above, and then see if this tactic works on your own snoring pups!
7 Ways Latinas Can Make Their Voices Heard in 2017
The unexpected outcome of the 2016 presidential election may have felt discouraging for many voters, including Latinas who rallied together against Donald Trump's many shocking comments about immigration and women. If you felt a wave of apathy in the aftermath of the election, you are not alone. Now that the proverbial dust has settled, however, it's especially important to stay engaged and involved. Ahead, we've listed seven ways to do that.
1. Participate in your local Latinas Represent chapter.
Latinas Represent is the byproduct of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, Hispanas Organized for Political Equality, and Latino Community Foundation of Colorado. The coalition works toward increasing Latinx representation in American politics. While Latinas Represent does give female leaders the tools they need to run for office or influence public policy, it also offers regular civilians a place to share the issues that affect them. To engage with other Latinas in your area, check out Latinas Represent's many chapters. If you're not represented on the map, then consider starting your own!
2. Contact your elected officials.
In November of 2016, a former congressional staff member went viral with her helpful guide to contacting representatives and actually making them listen to you. All of her advice is definitely worth a read on Twitter - however, she ultimately said the most effective method is to actually just make the calls. For more information on how to contact them, click here.
3. Share your story with COLOR.
The Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR) is a pro-choice, sex-positive movement that fights for reproductive rights and the overall physical and mental well-being of Latinas. If you're willing, you can share your own so-called "reproductive justice" story with COLOR. The organization will only use your first name.
4. Mark your calendar for Nov. 6, 2018.
Despite the unexpected outcome of the 2016 presidential election, Latinx voters still had a strong influence on many local and state-level races. For example, Mexican-American Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto won the Senate race in Nevada. While these victories from the 2016 election are great, the midterm elections on Nov. 6, 2018, will provide Latinx voters with another opportunity to make their voices heard.
5. Become a sponsor for ELLAS.
Embracing Latina Leadership Alliances, or ELLAS, is a program that helps low-income high school students excel both in and outside of the classroom. For $950, you can sponsor a student and help them attend workshops relevant to their interests and pursuit of higher education. You can also get involved by becoming a volunteer or speaking at a workshop. While ELLAS is not an explicitly political organization, investing in the next generation is certainly a way to influence politics in the years to come. They are the future, after all.
6. Attend a local town hall meeting.
Town hall meetings serve as effective (yet slightly less formal) spaces for residents in the area to air their grievances and propose solutions. While these types of meetings don't have a direct effect on the nation at large, they are still important and can improve your day-to-day life. To attend a meeting, find out who your senators and representatives are and monitor their websites or Twitter accounts for any announcements on upcoming meetings.
7. Run for political office.
If you've ever considered a career in politics, check out She Should Run. Following the presidential election, the organization launched an incubator program that has since encouraged over 4,000 women to run for elected office. She Should Run helps women define their brands, stand up to sexism, and connect with other women in the program so that they can grow their respective networks.
10 Movies to Watch If You're Obsessed With La La Land
One of the biggest breakout hits of the year, La La Land has received critical acclaim and been nominated for over 100 awards from different organizations, including two SAG award nominations and a whopping seven Golden Globe noms, including best actor, best actress, best screenplay, and best director. At this rate, it will undoubtedly dominate the Oscars as well.
In their third feature as costars, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling star in the romantic musical as Mia Dolan and Sebastian Wilder, two ambitious Los Angelenos whose lives intertwine as they each work to follow their dreams. Mia is an aspiring actress who rushes to audition after audition, only to be brushed off by executives. Sebastian is a talented pianist who struggles to keep the Jazz Age alive. Together, their love inspires them to not give up and to do whatever it takes to make it in the City of Dreams. Not that you can ever have too much Ryan Gosling (or Emma Stone, for that matter), but when you're ready to watch something new, check out some of the following films to get your fill of love, Los Angeles, and superb song and dance numbers!

4 Major Things to Know About Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher's HBO Documentary
Bright Lights, the HBO documentary focused on the complex relationship between Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, could not have come at a more striking moment. In the final week of 2016, Fisher died due to complications from a heart attack just one day before Reynolds herself passed away from a stroke. Following the heartbreaking news, the world at large began to mourn the mother-daughter duo in tandem; brother and son Todd Fisher even shared a sweet drawing depicting both women in their most iconic roles. Now, it seems like Bright Lights will forever capture the loving bond between the two. Here's everything we've uncovered about the project.
10 Classic Debbie Reynolds Roles We'll Never Forget
Debbie Reynolds's Son Reveals His Mother's Last Words: "I Want to Be With Carrie"
25 Photos of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds That Will Make You Smile, Then Break Your Heart
1. The Content
According to an early review from the Los Angeles Times, the film was mostly shot in 2014 and 2015. It chronicles the months leading up to Reynolds's honor at the 2015 SAG Awards: a lifetime achievement award. Fisher, on the other hand, was preparing to reprise her iconic role as Princess Leia in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. The primary goal of the filmmakers, it seems, was to capture the intoxicating, unmistakable bond between the mother-daughter duo.
HBO said the documentary "is an intimate portrait of Hollywood royalty in all its eccentricity. Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, live in the same Beverly Hills compound. The 83-year-old grand dame still has a Las Vegas act, but performing is taking its toll. Carrie's response is both hilarious and heart-rending."
2. Quotes From the Filmmakers
- Alexis Bloom, on the pair's bond: "I mean, the first time we filmed Carrie and Debbie together, that was the storyline, really. Sort of the ties that bind us. We didn't know when we would stop or how far back we would archive, but the axis on which the film turned was their relationship and their love."
- Bloom, on Fisher's gravitas: "I feel incredibly tender toward Carrie when she's home getting her manicure because she's incredibly manic. You can see she's in pain and you can see what a survivor she is. She is incredibly honest and kind of vulnerable at the same time, and I love that scene when she plays with the ladies who are doing her nails with glitter. That is Carrie. She's covered in glitter, and she has that fairy dust about her."
- Fisher Stevens, on the best moment: "The scene that encapsulates the film best for me was when we interview Debbie, and Carrie sets off the burglar alarm. I had actually set it by mistake. Debbie started to feel worse and worse during the interview, anyway, so we weren't getting much, but after the alarm she woke up and gave us great stuff. She truly is unsinkable."
3. A Bit of Preliminary Footage
This clip was released back in May 2016 and shows Fisher preparing for a trek to her mother's house (which is next door). Even in just one minute, we get a glimpse at the funny relationship, especially when Fisher tells Reynolds she can't keep her retro flip phone because it's "ridiculous."
4. The Premiere Date
The documentary was initially slated for a March release, but in the wake of the stars' deaths, the new premiere date is Jan. 7 at 8 p.m.

This Is How Oprah Transforms Scrambled Eggs Into a "Sexy Breakfast"
Oprah Winfrey stopped by The Dr. Oz Show to share recipes from her new cookbook Food, Health, and Happiness, including what she calls her "sexy breakfast." "I don't even know if you want to call this a recipe," Oprah said of the breakfast, which is scrambled eggs with salsa.

The other key to perfect scrambled eggs, according to Oprah? Temperature - always serve them hot. "The thing about anyone who is a real cook . . . don't you want people to come to the table when the food is hot?" she asked Dr. Oz.

Chris Pratt Gets Real About Love Scenes (With His Wife!) and Being "Too Fat" For a Role
Chris Pratt has been on quite the hot streak since he left the world of TV - we'll always love you, Andy Dwyer - for the big screen. His recent blockbusters, like Zero Dark Thirty, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and Passengers, have made him a household name, but that doesn't mean he's afraid to speak candidly about his past career flops and failures. Chris is the star of Vanity Fair's February issue, and in addition to letting his eyes pierce your soul from the cover, he also talks about being called "too fat" for a role and what it's been like to reunite with wife Anna Faris on set, specifically about how much fun the couple, who met on the set of the '80s comedy Take Me Home Tonight, had while filming love scenes during his cameo on Anna's CBS show Mom. Read his quotes below.
- On what motivated him to lose weight: "[After auditioning to play Oakland A's first baseman and catcher Scott Hatteberg in 2011's Moneyball] That was the first time I heard someone say, 'We're not gonna cast you - you're too fat.' So I decided to drop the weight, like in wrestling. I couldn't afford a trainer, so it was all running and crash-dieting and cutting alcohol."
- On Zero Dark Thirty convincing him he could be an action hero: "That's the first time I bulked up, got into great shape because I was playing a navy SEAL. [After watching the movie] I was like, My God, I buy that guy. I'm SEAL Team Six in that movie, and I felt like it was real. I can do this. I can play those roles."
- On President-elect Donald Trump's controversial Access Hollywood comments: "'When you're a star, you could do anything' - the offensive thing to me about that was Trump calling himself a star. It's like 'Come on, dude.' It's not because I consider myself a star, but if I ever heard someone say that, one of my peers, I'd instantly lose respect for them."
- On what he looked like when he first came to Hollywood: "I looked exactly like Heath Ledger. I had long blond hair, still bleached out, Hawaiian . . . That's what people were always saying: 'Man, you look just like Heath Ledger.' Then I saw Heath Ledger on the cover of Vanity Fair and I thought, 'Hey, I do look just like that guy.'"
- On playing wife Anna Faris's love interest on Mom: "Normally, when you do a kissing scene, it's awkward, and when it's done you say, 'Are you OK?' But this was different. After they yelled 'Cut,' we laughed and just kept on kissing."
The One Day at a Time Reboot Has 2 Secret Weapons: Justina Machado and Gloria Calderon Kellett
Netflix has had a number of reboots come down the pipeline recently, and although not everyone is on board with the choice to revive once-beloved shows, the streaming giant's latest reach into the past is a total charmer. Executive producer Gloria Calderon Kellett has given Norman Lear's One Day at a Time a modern facelift, dusting off the '70s family sitcom and reimagining it with a Cuban-American family. Not only does the show have heartwarming, nostalgic nods to the original, but it also provides a much-needed TV platform for celebrating the everyday lives of Latino families. With the show set to premiere on Jan. 6, POPSUGAR sat down with Kellett and the comedy's leading lady, Justina Machado, for a chat about single motherhood, telling meaningful stories for Cuban-Americans, and why they aren't afraid to tackle difficult conversations.
POPSUGAR: I imagine it must have been a challenge for you guys to pay homage to the original show, which had such a huge presence in the late '70s and early '80s, but also make it your own, and make it relevant today.
Gloria Calderon Kellett: It was something we took very seriously. I wouldn't say it was a challenge as much as . . . look, Norman [Lear] allowed us to be really authentic. He was unbelievably supportive and he was willing to fight Netflix and Sony, should we need to in allowing me to represent my family. Because I had that support, the homage was easier. We did homages in small ways. The set is very similar to the original set, and the number on the door is the same as the original. She's a single mom, and there's a character named Snyder. Other than that, everything else is more unique to my experience as a first generation Cuban in America. It's a lot about my relationship with my mother, and obviously that translated through the filter of Justina and Rita [Moreno], who make it their own. It's been so joyful. It means a lot to us. For all of us being Latinos doing this show, it's not just a show for us. It's an opportunity to let America and the world know what its like in a Latino house. I don't know if there's been a lot of representation of that. I know there's been some, but to be able to add our contribution to what's normal for us and say, "Look how similar and different we are." It's about sharing stories and the experience.
PS: Do you think it's more difficult to portray a single mom now, in 2016, versus in 1975?
Justina Machado: Obviously that was a big deal back then, in 1975, wasn't it? That she was a single mom? But we also deal with other issues. Veteran issues. We deal with the modern-day thing of raising two children with all of this technology and all of this information. It's a little bit more difficult nowadays, I think. So we deal with all of that, and also have three generations of strong women. We bring in Rita to play the mom. She lives with my character, and she's helping me take care of and raise these kids. We see the different ways these three different women in three different generations deal with things.
GCK: We tried to do it in a very organic way. Naturally, my mother is a lot more traditional than me because she's first generation and grew up in the '50s. She's a much more traditional woman. Then I'm somewhere in the middle, where I'm a little bit traditional, but liberal as well. Then we touch on my daughter, [executive producer] Mike Royce's daughter, and Norman's daughter as well, who is very feminist. Naturally, we have very different points of view of what it means to be a strong woman. All of them are right, and all of them are wrong. To be able to talk about that in a real and grounded way is pretty special.
PS: Going off of tradition, is there anything in particular from Cuban culture that you're excited for people to see in One Day at a Time?
GCK: So much. I think more than anything, is my experience having my parents come to the United States during Operation Pedro Pan in the '60s. They came in 1962. A lot of people just don't know about it. They just don't know about how people come to this country. Everyone has a coming to America story. Mine was my parents thought they were going to be here for six months while Kennedy was getting Castro out of Cuba. That turned into 40 years.
JM: That gives me goosebumps, it really does.
GCK: Now I get to honor their American story, which is coming here without their parents, being put on a plane, and then never getting to go back home.
JM: I don't think people see that kind of story from Cuban-Americans. We saw Scarface, and believe me, I love Scarface. [laughs] It's because the Cuban people, in my opinion, are so resourceful and successful, we forget their story. That they had to leave everything, that they had to come to this country not knowing the language, not having any money, not knowing what they were gonna do. It's not a story that has been told.
GCK: And it's not unique to Cubans. There are so many people who come here! Look at Aziz Ansari when he did his episode about his parents coming to America. I related to that episode more than I've related to anything in a really long time, and he's talking about an Indian experience. It's great that this Asian experience that he's had and the experience that I had are so similar. So to get to tell my specific story, within the context of the show, is incredible.
PS: Netflix, especially with programming like Orange Is the New Black and Jessica Jones, is really lifting women up with their strong female characters. One Day at a Time is no different, and such a female-centric show. Justina, what has been your favorite thing about playing Penelope?
JM: The amazing writing! The layered woman that she is. A real person, you know? They didn't have me coming out with a piñata, or dancing to some salsa. [laughs] Not that I mind, I love it all. But it's a real person who is layered, and flawed, and she's lovely, and she's just a woman that I am so proud to portray. As I read the script I was like, "This is good, this is real good."
PS: Was there any scene throughout the season that was a favorite for you guys?
JM: The last episode was really special. The last scene of the last episode is really, really beautiful to me.
GCK: Oh for sure. That was a really beautiful scene.
JM: And in episode three there's a lot of fun stuff that I could really relate to. We talk about religion, so that was a good one. Growing up, my parents raised me Catholic. I'm not someone who really goes to church anymore, but that was the way I was raised and it was really important. In the episode, it's kind of a thing with my mom and I. We have pictures of the Pope everywhere, and stuff like that. That's the way I grew up, except for the pictures of the Pope. We didn't have that. My cousins had that. I was like what the hell is this? [laughs]
GCK: My brother is literally named John Paul after the Pope.
JM: You see? There you go! It was great the way we deal with church in the episode. That was something that I completely relate to.
GCK: We get to have a grounded conversation about religion.
PS: That's great not many shows get the chance to.
GCK: That's right. People are afraid to talk about that stuff, and everyone has an opinion! It's organic.

This Vintage Top Is About to Replace Your Basic White T-Shirt
One thing we can't deny is the rise of Gucci. Right now, it seems like every girl is coveting one of the brand's ubiquitous items, be it the fur-lined loafers, a logo belt, or an embellished bag. But don't knock the Trophy tee, a design that hails from Alessandro Michele's latest Cruise collection.
While it was amped up on the runway with a floral pleated skirt, ornate head wrap, and British flag platforms, bloggers and influencers are taking the piece - which retails online for $590 - onto the street. The shirt is most typically paired with a leather miniskirt to achieve '80s flair, but it's proving to be so classic that ladies are 'gramming it time and time again, showing off a wide range of outfits.
If we didn't know any better, we'd say the Gucci top's about to replace your standard white tee, so you best get your hands on it. Scroll to get inspired before you shop the exact style or similar but more affordable options we found online.

Make Your Life Easier By Learning Alton Brown's Hack For Juicing a Lime
Thanks to Alton Brown, it's easier than ever to juice a lime and store it for later. Alton covers half a lime in plastic wrap, cutting a small slit on one edge. When squeezed, the juice drizzles out neatly from the slit in the plastic wrap (no squirts in your eye or over the counter). Plus, since the lime is covered, you can easily stash it back in the fridge if you don't end up using the whole half. Take a look at the clever technique below.
Want to put lime or lemon juice where you want it instead of all over your counter or in your eye? Cover in plastic wrap and make a small slit on one edge. Squeeze what you want then pop the rest in the fridge.

You Should Be Working Out Topless - Here's Why
I used to be terrified of working out without a shirt or tank top on - that is, in just a sports bra. And I know I'm not alone. Senior SoulCycle instructor and Movement Foundation founder Jenny Gaither created the Dare to Bare event for just that reason: to instill confidence in women so they can proudly flaunt their bodies . . . and work out comfortably.
Jenny noted herself that she never used to be comfortable exposing so much while teaching at SoulCycle and would cover herself up in "ridiculous" ways, including a leather jacket. It was only when she asked a friend (who rode in her class) to wear a sports bra with her that she mustered up the courage to go "topless," and it changed her life for the better.
Since going to Dare to Bare myself, I also now almost exclusively wear a sports bra and leggings to SoulCycle (and other cardio classes), and have chatted with several other women who have described the change in wardrobe as "life changing." Here's why.
You'll Have More Confidence
If you've been avoiding showing any skin, it's typically for one of two reasons: one, you're unhappy with your body and afraid of judgment (from yourself or others), or two, you think it's inappropriate or ostentatious (read: you are happy with your body, and you don't want to look like a show-off). Both cases have something in common: fear of judgment!
In either circumstance, by switching to a sports bra, you'll break yourself out of a damaging mental cycle by stepping out of your comfort zone, and thus learn to love your body even more. This might just be a new take on "exposure therapy."
I chatted with Speedplay studio manager Onique Williams, who - after seeing me work out in a sports bra - told me a similar story of learning to love her body through exposing it. Her running coach told her that she wasn't allowed to run in pants, and she had to put shorts on during their training runs. "I love my backside now," she told me, after admitting she had previously been self-conscious of having a bigger booty. Onique mentioned she'd been envious of the girls she'd seen running in itty-bitty compression shorts, and now she's one of them. "It's so important that women are comfortable with what they have," she said.
You don't have to bare it all, but it's incredibly liberating and empowering when you realize you don't have to conform to a standard or live up to an expectation or look a certain way. You can just work out, love what you've got, and be comfortable.
And on the subject of comfort: ditching the shirt will make you more comfortable physically - especially in a hot, sweaty class! If you've ever gone to a heated class or tend to sweat a lot, shirts and tanks can be massively uncomfortable, especially if you don't have the opportunity to change or shower right away (Think: walking out into the cold, drenched in sweat from hot yoga. Fun!). Get comfortable emotionally so you can get comfortable physically.
You'll Get a Better Workout
After a SoulCycle class a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a fellow classmate who told me that working out shirtless has completely changed the way she rides and made her a stronger, better athlete in class.
Why? Form! "I'm always watching myself in the mirror," she said - meaning she's holding her abs in tight, the way she should be. Our instructor Natalie Camp confirmed this; she totally encourages a sports-bra-only ride and leads by example herself. She also noted that many students forget to keep their core tight and hold their abs in, which protects the back and improves the overall workout. By taking the top off, you're getting a full frontal view of your midsection, and you'll be more focused on holding it all in, activating those abdominal muscles.
Over time, you'll also be able to notice nuances in your form and how it correlates to a certain feeling, making you even more body-aware and optimizing your workouts.
Added bonus: consistent shirtless workouts mean you'll notice every bit of progress with your body - and you can totally flaunt your hard-earned abs!
You'll Inspire Others
Just like I was inspired by a sea of 100 (or more!) women of all shapes and sizes cycling outside on stationary bikes in their sports bras, you'll inspire someone else, too. How amazing would it be to impact even just one person's life in a positive way like that? Not only will you be loving yourself more and getting a better workout, but you'll be helping someone else live a happier, healthier life, too.

20 Things Kids Do That I Wish Were More Acceptable For Adults
Kids have it good, don't they? Sure, they get hung up on small issues (hello, anger management), but in general, life as a kid is pretty sweet. And after witnessing my children doing what they do best, be kiddos, the phrase in our household is generally "Oh, to be a kid again." Sometimes I wish I could go back so then I might really be able to appreciate all the rad things that are acceptable for kids but not so much for adults.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris's Family Photos Are a 1-Way Ticket to Happiness
There's no getting around it: Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are freaking adorable.

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale Give Us the High School Musical Duet We Always Wanted
It's been over a decade since the first High School Musical movie debuted on the Disney channel, and in the time since, the cast has spiraled off into wildly different directions. But if we learned anything during our time with the crew, it's that once you're a Wildcat, you're always a Wildcat. Coming off the epic 10-year reunion in 2016, the latest mini get-together featured the two biggest starlets from the series, Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens. Tisdale welcomed her former costar to her YouTube channel to sing a sweet cover of "Ex's & Oh's." Considering how the two never had a duet in the HSM movies, it's like we're getting the pairing we never knew we needed . . . until now.

This New Cute Robot For Your Home Looks Like It's From Wall-E
Remember how adorable and easy it was to fall in love with Wall-E? Well, one company just brought their own version of Wall-E to life with the Kuri - and it's as adorable as you can imagine.
Announced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, the Kuri is a robot meant for your home. Imagine a Google Home or Echo Dot but on wheels - that's the Kuri. Weighing in at 14 pounds and only 20 inches tall, the Kuri can roll on its own around your home and do a variety of tasks such as playing music, reading bedtime stories to kids, and plenty more. Kuri also has a 1080p camera, so you can check in on your home and pets whenever you want.
Created by Mayfield Robotics, Kuri truly appears to be a one-of-a-kind robot. Not only can the robot react with sounds and move its head, but it can also move around your house while avoiding any objects or stairs it could fall down. Even better, Kuri will recognize when it's low on battery and return to its dock for charging - all without you needing to say or do a single thing.
The Kuri costs $699 and is available for preorder today, with an expected ship date around the 2017 holiday season. It's pricey, but seems a bit more useful than a Google Home or Echo device, since the Kuri can follow you around. Look ahead for a video of how it works and photos of Kuri.

The Bachelor: 5 Things to Know About Corinne Olympios
If you've followed The Bachelor for more than one season, then you know there's one thing producers love even more than a fairy-tale ending: a villain. Season 21 is no different, and though we've only seen the premiere, there's already a "bad girl" emerging. Based on the preview of this season, Corinne Olympios is getting the famed "villain edit," despite not actually doing anything super evil yet. Sure, she stole Nick and made out with him at the first cocktail party, but so what? That happens every year! Before we get too far into the season, let's review some of the facts.
1. The Basics
Twenty-four-year-old Corinne hails from Miami, and is a part owner in her family's business. "I own an online business," she said in her profile on ABC's Bachelor site. "It's very important to me, but the cool thing is it's online, so I can run it from anywhere."
2. Fun Facts
Also according to ABC's profile, Corinne has tattoos that she's currently lasering off - I would love to know what they were. She loves Frasier and Chicago, and if she were an animal, she would be a cheetah, because they're "strong and fierce." She wants to find her Prince Charming, but isn't into guys who are all about themselves.
3. She's a Model
Aside from being heir to the family business, Corinne has modeling profiles up on ExploreTalent and Model Mayhem.
4. She's Active on Social Media
Corinne is on Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, where her username is Colympios. While she only just joined Twitter in November, she's posted a lot on Instagram. Her account is full of selfies, shots with the other Bachelor contestants, and professional modeling pictures.
5. She's Spoken Out About Her Portrayal
The day after the premiere, Corinne Instagrammed a screenshot about the editing process, and captioned it, "To all the haters. 👆🏼 from 'something to note' please read. And remember you don't know me. Thanks for those who support, thanks for the love!" The picture has since been deleted.
