Starbucks's New Egg Bites Allow You to Try the Sous Vide Trend on the Cheap
You might have heard the term "sous vide" circulating around, but what is it and where can you try it? Allow Starbucks to banish your FOMO - on the cheap - thanks to its 2017 menu. POPSUGAR had a chance to try the new Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites ($5 for two) before they are released nationwide on Jan. 10. This low-carb breakfast option (made without bread) has a light and velvety texture due to the sous vide method of cooking the eggs, defined by Starbucks as "a culinary technique in which vacuum-sealed food is immersed in a water bath, and cooked at a very precise, consistent temperature."
Starbucks "noticed this tech-forward trend slowly growing in popularity over the years" and wanted to "develop a perfect, protein-packed egg breakfast." Buying a sous vide immersion circulator for home use can cost you upward of $100 or more, so this breakfast is a great entry point if you want to see what all the fuss is about. Editorial assistant Sarah Siegel tried both of the egg bites and had this to say:
Bacon & Gruyere: "This egg bite is salty, hearty, and has a nutty flavor from the gruyere. It's incredibly satisfying and gives the taste of a traditional breakfast sandwich without the grease or excess bread."
Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper: "Made with monterey cheese and pepper, the flavor really stands out. Light and not so salty, they're blander than the bacon counterpart, but a healthier vegetarian option."
If you need even more condiments to spice up your breakfast options, Starbucks also has plans to expand the release of its avocado spread (essentially guacamole), and if you didn't know this already, it offers sriracha, which, according to Sarah, "tastes different than what you get out of the bottle."

Read This Before You Try Starbucks's New Cascara Latte
Starbucks announced new menu items for 2017, including a new latte with an intriguing name: the Cascara Latte. Eager to try it out, we got one of the first tastes of the latte along with answers to our burning question: what exactly is a Cascara Latte? It's an espresso-based drink that's inspired by the actual fruit that coffee beans come from - coffee cherries. The "cascara," meaning husk or shell in Spanish, is the outer shell of a coffee cherry that encases a coffee bean. With this in mind, Starbucks created its Cascara Latte, which has a syrup made from the coffee cherry extract, coconut, and cane sugars.
According to our resident NYC-based Starbucks enthusiast Sarah Siegel, the latte is subtly sweet and not overbearing. "I always have to tell baristas to use half the syrup they normally do to keep my drink from being overwhelmingly sweet. This latte is lightly sweetened and reminds me of brown sugar," she said. The latte is finished off with steamed milk and topped with micro foam and a cascara topping, "which is a crunchy, sweet topping reminiscent of caramel." It's safe to say this unexpected latte lived up to its expectations and delivered the sweet, satisfying flavor we were seeking. If you're just as eager to try it as we were, look out for the new drink on Starbucks menus starting in early January. It's available early to Starbucks Rewards members on Friday, Jan. 6, and available to all customers nationwide beginning Tuesday, Jan. 10, while supplies last.

This Edgy Technique Will Be One of the Hottest Beauty Trends of 2017
Negative space has long been a technique utilized in eye-popping nail art designs. It's characterized by leaving the bare nail visible in certain areas and, depending how it's executed, can result in a minimalist, cheeky, or even sensual result. Now, the trend is making its way to eyes and lips.
The effect is spectacularly edgy but doesn't have to be time-consuming to achieve. In lieu of painstakingly applying eye makeup and lipstick around bare patches, you can use the formulas normally. Just lay down tools like striping tape or even carefully cut adhesive tape on the parts of your lids and lips that you'd like to leave bare, apply your makeup, then peel them away to reveal the fresh skin underneath. The design possibilities are endless! Get inspired by some of our favorite masterpieces from Instagram when you read on.
Drew Barrymore's Netflix Comedy Is a Lot Darker and Grislier Than You Think
While going over the upcoming slate of new shows for Netflix, it's pretty easy to skip over Santa Clarita Diet. On the surface, it looks like a fluffy, lighthearted comedy set in suburbia. Upon a second look (complete with telling promotional images), there's much more to the series than meets the . . . eyeball. It turns out, Drew Barrymore is actually playing a zombie, and the "diet" at hand is "pure protein," "totally organic," and "100% flesh." Have we piqued your interest yet? Get the details on the tongue-in-cheek show below.
25 Things You Didn't Know About Drew Barrymore
There Are a Ton of Great Movies and TV Shows Coming to Netflix in January
1. The Cast
The main player is of course Barrymore as Sheila, and Timothy Olyphant is on board as her hunky salt-and-pepper husband, Joel. Other major stars include Ramona Young, whom you might recognize from Man Seeking Woman and The Real O'Neals, and Natalie Morales, who portrayed Lucy on Parks and Recreation. Also, Nathan Fillion is reportedly making a cameo!
2. The Details
According to new details from USA Today, Sheila actually dies at the beginning of the series. "Presumably, she has been exposed to something - although we don't know what - which is making her feel a bit off," creator Victor Fresco revealed. Sheila and her husband must satiate her newfound hunger while keeping her, um, predicament under wraps. They start with raw meat but eventually must move on to human flesh.
3. A Few Extra Tidbits
For Barrymore, this show seems to have come at a perfect time. "My whole personal life was falling apart . . . I don't want to watch a show about a couple fighting and falling apart, I can't handle it right now. It's not heavy, but it's not lacking in a sort of sweetness, if you will. But it's also got bite and backbone and balls." She also called it "a very perfect recipe for 2017" and said "I had no idea in early 2016 when I was trying to figure out if this was even possible that it would be so right for my life . . . I like things that are easy to digest. Pun intended."
The actress also revealed something else: it's not just an average zombie show. "What if she finds herself, and we do this sort of Cro-Magnon type of evolution with her over the course of the 10 episodes. No gimmicks, no prosthetics, just an awakening." Seems like Sheila could have a whole new life experience in addition to her sudden hunger for human meat.
4. The Premiere Date
The show is dropping on Feb. 3, which means we have less than a month until we get to the meat of the show, so to speak. Can your stomach handle it?

Frozen's Anna and Elsa Have a Brother . . . And It's Tarzan
Two years ago, the team behind Frozen did an AMA on Reddit, and a comment they made blew the collective minds of Disney fans everywhere. While the theory is old, it has just resurfaced and Twitter is not OK. Basically, the directors casually mentioned that Elsa and Anna's parents did not die on a boat and that their story is much different than what we assume when watching Frozen. Here's the full comment:
This is the beginning of 1999's Tarzan, another Disney film which Frozen codirector Chris Buck (the "Chris" mentioned above) codirected. If this is true, it would mean that Elsa, Anna, and Tarzan come from the same set of parents. The reason this connection is getting brought up now is because of Buck's interview with MTV News in 2015. When asked about the conspiracy theory, Buck said this:
"When you're working on a feature, you have a lot of time to think about stuff because it takes four years to make one. I think Jen [Lee] and I were walking to a meeting, and I just start to tell her the entire story. I said, 'Of course Anna and Elsa's parents didn't die. Yes, there was a shipwreck, but they were at sea a little bit longer than we think they were because the mother was pregnant, and she gave birth on the boat, to a little boy. They get shipwrecked, and somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas.' So in my little head, Anna and Elsa's brother is Tarzan - but on the other side of that island are surfing penguins, to tie in a non-Disney movie, Surf's Up. That's my fun little world . . . I say, whatever people want to believe, go for it. If you want to tie them all together, then do it. That's the spirit of Disney."
In case you're wondering, Buck also codirected 2007's Surf's Up. In conclusion, the movies are not officially connected. But in Buck's mind, this little guy is Anna and Elsa's baby brother, and penguins are surfing on the other side of his island! And there you have it.

5 Things Your Fitness Studio Wants to Tell You to Your Face (But Doesn't)
If you've ever worked in a gym or boutique studio, you're more than likely aware that clients can be rude from time to time . . . or completely neglect the rules . . . or come in not smelling eh, awesome. But if you're said client, you might not be aware that you're doing anything wrong! In this new year, let's choose to be better, more polite, more respectful people - especially in the gym or in our fitness classes, where we're already trying to better ourselves with exercise.
What Not to Wear to Yoga Class
We chatted with a boutique fitness studio manager in Los Angeles who shared some secrets, (hilarious) horror stories, and what she wished clients knew before stepping into the studio for a workout. It's pretty direct, but these pieces of advice make sense and create a better environment and experience for everyone involved. Listen up, people!
No Cell Phones (Seriously)
Focus on your workout, and don't disrespect your trainer. It's a good courtesy rule. "If you can't take an hour for class to stop checking how many likes you got on your new fit tea promo, you have bigger problems to deal with - but mostly, it's incredibly rude to the instructor and distracting to other clients."
Please Come Clean
If you smell, you probably don't know it . . . but you're ruining the workout for everyone within a 10 foot radius of you. "Please be mindful of how you smell. While we're jazzed you made it to Saturday morning class after a night of debauchery, don't show up reeking of cheap tequila in your unwashed athleisure . . . it's unpleasant for everyone around you. On the flip side, not everyone wants to suffocate in a cloud of Curious by Britney Spears (and you shouldn't either tbh), so save the perfume for your reluctant Tinder date."
Help Us Help You
"You NEED to tell us about your injuries. You NEED to tell us if you're pregnant. If you're going to bemoan these procedures and blindly sign the release form because you can't be bothered to take 30 seconds to fill out the form correctly, don't act bamboozled when your instructor doesn't provide modifications specifically for you and your needs. We're here to give you the best workout for your body, but we can't do that if you don't let us know before class starts."
Please Don't Be Cheap
We're looking at you, returning vet with a new email account. "It's OK to ask if we have a sale or promo going on, or if you can get a discount on your autopay because you've been a loyal client for 3 years . . . we're all for it. But if you expect to pay $5 per class at a boutique fitness studio, you need to wake up and smell the mat cleaner. Your studio prices their classes according to how they pay their phenomenal instructors, and the fitness hustle is not an easy one. If you want to pay Forever 21 prices for bargain bin 'teachers,' then go for it - but you'll certainly miss us."
The Rules Are There For YOU
"The rules are in place not to annoy you, but for your safety. At the end of the day, you've signed a release and have to use your best judgment when taking care of your own body. But just know that we're judging you for doing a HIIT class in your 'cute AF' yet unsupportive Nike Roshes."

Does Melania Trump Have What It Takes to Master First Lady Style?
Image Source: Getty / JEWEL SAMAD
When I woke up the morning after Election Day to find that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States, I cried. Then I signed online and covered the latest Instagram trend: DIY crop tops made from an old pair of tights. Then, obviously, I cried some more. I had just witnessed one of the most heartbreaking and important elections in history, at least in my opinion. How did I muster the strength to write about a passing fashion trend on a day like that?
After that, it was admittedly hard to keep working. I talked to my sister, who also felt devastated, and I texted my boyfriend, who is one of those people who, political views aside, always reassures me I am worrying before I need to be. Then Hillary Clinton gave her concession speech wearing a purple-lapeled Ralph Lauren blazer, and instantly, I was inspired to write again. She was most likely wearing that shade because it was a blend of red and blue, the Republican and Democratic parties unifying right there on her outfit.
I don't think that Hillary's pantsuit was more important than the powerful words she spoke, a recognition of defeat but a promise she won't stop fighting for women, minorities, and our nation's progress. I do think that Hillary hammered her point home with that blazer, and in that moment, I felt it my duty to explain why. For the time it took me to crank out that post, my job had purpose again.
Every time I have written about Michelle Obama's dresses, since I began my career as a fashion editor, I have felt a sense of pride. It has been remarkable to track Michelle's style during her time in the White House, watching her thoughtfully support American designers with each appearance.
Image Source: Getty / Chip Somodevilla
I don't think she started to wear Brandon Maxwell (he dressed her for the Singapore state dinner and for the cover of InStyle) because he was Lady Gaga's stylist. I don't think Michelle was trying to resonate with pop culture, but rather to rally behind new art and its artists.
With every outfit choice Michelle makes, she tells a story. Michelle rotates between her favorite London fashion houses when she's in the UK, and she wore a Narciso Rodriguez dress to meet with Melania Trump for the first time. First, because Rodriguez is a Cuban-American designer whose family came to the country before he made a name for himself; an immigrant's success story like those Michelle and the Obama administration have often championed. Second, I'm sure, for its color palette: a purple dress, again marrying blue and red, but with a fiery orange stripe, a blaring, shocking wink: "Melania, can you handle this?"
Image Source: Pacific Coast News
But Melania can handle this. She has been in the public eye for many years, and when CBS's Lesley Stahl stared her down during the Trump family's 60 Minutes interview, warning her that first ladies have been famously scrutinized and that they must present themselves "with not a hair out of place," Melania didn't bat an eyelash. Throughout the entirety of her husband's campaign, Melania has worn a lineup of sophisticated looks that are nothing short of appropriate. They are what you'd call modern FLOTUS attire: well-tailored, modest, sleek, but with a bold twist thanks to an ultrasaturated color or a trendy sleeve.
Image Source: Getty / DOMINICK REUTER
These pieces got her noticed; these pieces sold out instantly, right after she debuted them. Melania already possesses the allure of a first lady. It might even be more uniquely exciting that Melania is shopping for these looks herself and counts covetable designers like Roksanda, Gucci, and Antonio Berardi as her favorites. Time will tell whether fashion houses begin to dress her (perhaps for the Inaugural Ball), but if they choose not to, I don't think any woman in America, Democrat or Republican, will knock her gown.
Image Source: Getty / AFP
What I will miss, ultimately, is a lady like Michelle, and maybe even one like Hillary, who uses her clothes to tell a story or to convey a mood. Throughout her period in the White House, Michelle mixed high and low. She wore a J.Crew studded belt with a long Thom Browne plaid coat because it was fun and it felt right, and she was learning about what she liked.
Once she did, she selected designs that did all the right things: they flattered her figure by showing off her toned arms or they recognized the holiday season with the mixing of two festive colors. They purposefully showed support for certain cultures or countries. Michelle's outfits did not always look perfect. Sometimes her skirt blew up in the wind or she had to fight a hair out of place. But Michelle's outfits were fairly thought out, brave, bold, and irrefutably American. Melania, are you ready?

The long-awaited film adaptation of DC's Wonder Woman hits theaters on June 2. As the character has been around since the 1940s, the original source material is predictably chock-full of various characters, storylines, and all kinds of other information that can seem intimidating to get through. Don't quite know where to begin? If you want to brush up on your Wonder Woman knowledge before catching the movie this Summer, here are some highlights from the comics.
Origin Story
Wonder Woman's classic origin story is heavily rooted in Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of an Amazon-occupied island called Themyscria (or, earlier on, Paradise Island). Hippolyta, who wishes for a child, forms her out of clay from the shores. The gods of Olympus then bring the clay to life as Diana and bless her with gifts, such as beauty, strength, wisdom, speed, and flight. Her superhuman abilities assist her in her role as an emissary in Man's World. In the New 52 reboot (DC's 2011 relaunch) and the DC Extended Universe, Diana is not created from clay. Instead, she is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus, making her a demigod.
Notable Nemeses
Wonder Woman goes head-to-head with several enemies in the comics. Among the most notorious is Circe, a powerful witch and sorceress who's based on her namesake in Greek mythology. Notably, she sets up the War of the Gods, an epic war between numerous pantheons. Another one of Wonder Woman's well-known adversaries is Cheetah. Several people have donned this title, but the most prominent is possibly Barbara Ann Minerva, an archaeologist who gains an interest in besting Wonder Woman in battle after a failed attempt to take the hero's Lasso of Truth. Wonder Woman has also fought Ares (yes, the God of War), a misogynistic occultist called Doctor Psycho, and the size-manipulating Giganta.
Love Interests
Though Wonder Woman has quite a few love interests over the years, her most notable one is Steve Trevor. He originally debuts as the first man she ever meets, after his plane crashes on her island during World War II. She nurses him back to health, falls in love with him, and easily wins a competition to escort him back to Man's World (aka Earth) and assist in the country's battles. Other iterations of Steve remove his romantic relationship with Wonder Woman, but fans are still very familiar with it. In fact, Chris Pine is playing him in the film. Other than that, Wonder Woman also has trysts with characters including Nemesis, Aquaman, and Superman.
Team Affiliations
Wonder Woman starts off as a member of the Justice Society of America - though she mostly appears as the team's secretary and doesn't get in on the action much until later on. She's more famously a part of the Justice League of America, a superhero team consisting of several heroes like Batman, Superman, Aquaman, and the Flash. The JLA has undergone tons of changes to its origin story, but Wonder Woman is almost always a founding member.

If you're skeptical, listen up.

The Gucci Piece to Buy For 2017 Goes With Every Outfit You'll Ever Wear
Think back to the last time you wore a belt. If you can't, same here. It's one of those accessories that gets more wear on the hooks of our closet than around our actual waist. But, that's about to all change when you see the Gucci logo belt. Bloggers are already wearing it, of course, and they just gave us some fresh inspiration on how to style the iconic piece.
You can loop it around the waistband of your jeans with a tucked sweater or use it to cinch in your boho dress. Regardless of how you wear it, the eye-catching, but not flashy, logo provides the right punch to an outfit. Heck, it even looks good with a t-shirt and sneakers. The accessory is such a simple piece that can be magically dressed up or down hundreds of ways, which is why we love it.
We say the Gucci fur loafers had a good run, because the belt is the piece you should invest in for 2017. Read on for some smart style inspo, then add one to your cart.
How This Wacky Product Can Takes Decades Off Your Aging Neck In Seconds
Certain body parts show signs of aging more overtly than others, and one of them is the neck. As the late, great Nora Ephron once wrote, "Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth. You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn't if it had a neck."
Short of plastic surgery and turtlenecks sweaters, there are seemingly few options to remedy sagging in this area. However, a new brand is revisiting a technique that was used frequently during the golden age of Hollywood: taping.
Nexsey is a clear medical-grade tape that when used correctly, makes an aging neck look totally taut. (It also eliminates double chins.) The technique is simple: after you cleanse and dry the back of your neck, apply one end of a piece to the side of your neck. Then pinch the back of your neck to tighten the skin and temporarily hide wrinkles. Once you do this, carefully secure your work with the rest of the tape strip.
Actress Marlene Dietrich famously used tape to firm up her own face, and more recently, Lady Gaga has been rumored to use the technique to alter her appearance. Watch a video about how it works when you read on, then keep reading to see more examples of it in action.
Beware: These New Walking Dead Pictures Have Grave Implications
This week, we got a cryptic new look at the rest of The Walking Dead's seventh season. In a large handful of photos posted to the show's official Facebook page, we get an up-close look at a bunch of seemingly innocuous objects: a big hole, a bunch of rubber ducks, a handful of peanuts, the list goes on. There is, of course, the chance that AMC is giving us very subtle hints about what's to come, but considering how the show frustratingly tells one story per episode and teased Glenn's dumpster death for weeks, we wouldn't be surprised if this was just some light fun at our expense. Since we have the distinct feeling we're getting trolled, we thought we'd have some of our own fun in trying to "interpret" them.
You'll Soon Be Able to Watch Alexis Bledel on This Brand-New Hulu Series
Alexis Bledel is moving on from Rory Gilmore (not permanently, we hope!) to take on a completely different role in Hulu's adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 35-year-old actress will play Ofglen, a handmaid, in the 10-part drama set in a fictional place called Gilead, where, under a totalitarian government, fertile women are sent to rich families to help them procreate.
If you're wondering why you're just now hearing about this series, Hulu actually had to wait until Alexis's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life contract expired with Netflix to make the announcement. The interesting storyline will make its debut on the popular streaming service on April 26, and considering Alexis is slated to appear in most of the episodes alongside her fellow Mad Men costar Elisabeth Moss, we can't wait to see even more talented acting.
Elisabeth teased the exciting performance to come, telling THR: "[Alexis] has this incredible fragility and vulnerability to her, but there is another side - a strength and a toughness to her, that some people maybe haven't seen . . . Obviously it doesn't hurt that she's a friend of mine." Wow! Is it April 26 yet?

Why Leslie Jones Is the Person You Want to Be Sitting Next to at Sporting Events
Just a couple weeks after her cute courtside date with SNL costars Colin Jost and Michael Che, Leslie Jones was back at Madison Square Garden to watch the NY Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. While her castmates weren't in attendance that time, Leslie didn't hold back while cheering, screaming, and supporting her team as she sat front row with friends.
We've really taken a shine to Leslie's game-night attitude: she's clearly that one friend who's louder than everyone else, gets way too fired up during every play, and probably embarrasses you a little when all is said and done, but you invite her every time because you can't imagine sitting courtside without her.

10 Things Your Gym Bag Is Probably Missing (But Totally Needs)
So you've got your gym towel and your water bottle and your headphones . . . but if you're a frequent gym goer or studio fanatic, there are SO many essentials that'll make your workout smoother, your time in the gym better, and your post-workout body less . . . gross. These are some POPSUGAR editor favorites, and what we always have in our gym bags at all times.
- Brush. We love to keep a little brush in our bags to tidy up after a messy, sweaty gym session. Our Food editor Anna (who is a yogi and Equinox-regular) always keeps a mini hair brush for a quick makeover before coming back to the office from a lunchtime class. We also love the Tangle Teezer for post shower detangling.
- Extra, Extra, EXTRA socks. We all agreed that not one, but several pairs of extra socks were necessary. For when you forget, for when your gym buddy forgets, for when you show up to a class that you thought was barefoot but socks are required, for when you take a shower and then need fresh socks to walk home from the gym in . . .
- Same for hair ties. Because for some reason, you always have 427 on your wrist when you don't need them, but zero extras when the one in your hair breaks. Keep a spare pack in your gym bag at all times.
- Arnica gel or cream. Have you tried arnica yet? This homeopathic remedy uses the arnica montana plant (it's similar to a sunflower!) for it's natural healing powers. You can rub the cream or gel onto bruises or sore muscles for soothing relief, swelling-reduction, and quick recovery.
- Wipes. Sometimes you can't take a shower, sometimes you can . . . what remains true is that face wipes, body wipes, and lady wipes (for your nether regions) can always come in handy. Freshen up, feel extra clean, and get rid of the extra sweat. You'll be MUCH more comfortable.
- Flip flops. Whether they're slides or sandals, you'll need a pair of shower shoes. For some reason, we always have a friend or two at the gym or studio who forgot them.
- Blister pads or waterproof bandaids. If you're breaking in new shoes in the new year or got a blister from going all out in class, you don't have to let it sideline you. One of our favorite products is the Compeed blister pads that cover and cushion the blister area so well, you'll forget you have a blister or are wearing a cover! They're waterproof, meaning sweat-proof, too, so you don't have to keep replacing a bandaid.
- Ibuprofen. Don't let cramps, a headache, or whatever else comes your way keep you from having a great workout. You never know what could happen, so keep a container of pills in your bag!
- Underwear. This is gross to talk about, but what's more gross is the reality of your sweat-wicking gym clothes drying out nicely but your underwear staying soggy. EW. Bring extras. You'll need them.
- Face wash. Many gyms have body wash and shampoo. Not so many have face wash. Plus, you're probably much pickier with the type of facial cleanser you use versus body wash, right? Bring your favorite cleanser (and maybe your toner, serum, and moisturizer if you're really into skincare) in mini or travel size bottles to keep your face fresh.

This Is the New Smart Breast Pump That's Blowing Moms' Minds
Breastfeeding isn't easy and although a breast pump can certainly help busy moms, this common gadget comes with its own set of difficulties. From being loud and cumbersome to feeling painful and disruptive, many breast pumps share common grievances but one new device is trying to eliminate these problems for new moms.
Introduced at CES 2017 this week, Willow ($430) is the first smart wearable breast pump that fits into a mom's bra, hands free. This new device will be available in the Spring and silently pumps without requiring any of the bulky tubes during the process.
Within the pump's sleek design, there's an internal bag that collects up to four-ounces of milk. It can also automatically sense when your body is ready to transition to expression phase without needing to wait for a pre-set time.
This dishwasher-safe, three-piece device is battery operated and moms can get a few days out of pumping before having to recharge. It also works with a milk-tracking app that adds an extra element of convenience by recording which side you pump on, the duration of the sessions, and how much milk you produced.
Since this streamlined pump can fit in a mom's bra without any of the attachments, bottles, or wires, it allows them to multitask with minimal disruption. During trials, moms were able to wear the pump during conference calls and while commuting, according to CNNMoney.
The pumps creator, John Chang, designed Willow to be a more discrete option and told CNN that he hopes his product will enable more moms to breastfeed by being quiet and easy to use.
Goldie Hawn Is so Damn Cute, You Guys
Goldie Hawn was her usual bubbly, smiley self as she stepped out in LA on Thursday morning. The 71-year-old actress wore a pair of colorful leggings (likely from her daughter Kate Hudson's Fabletics collection) and a puffy coat, and held on to a coffee mug while getting into her car. She also gave a wave and playfully stuck her tongue out at photographers. Why is she so damn cute? Goldie is set to attend the Golden Globes this weekend, where she'll be hitting the stage to present an award. Hopefully we'll get to see her on the red carpet laughing it up with a few of her famous family members on the big day.
The Hysterical Reason This Great-Grandmother Was Worshiping a Lord of the Rings Figurine
A Brazilian woman's recent uproarious discovery about her great-grandmother's spiritual routine is delighting the internet.

She then shared pictures of the figurine with a caption that translates to "The funniest discovery of 2016."
A descoberta mais engraçada de 2016:
Posted by Gabriela Brandão on Friday, December 30, 2016

Since sharing her great-grandmother's hysterical mix-up, Gabriela's post has received over 3,000 shares and 2,000 reactions on the social media platform. She has not revealed whether or not she ended up breaking the news to her great-grandmother.
