Prabal Gurung's Launching a Spring '17 Collection With Lane Bryant
Prabal Gurung's conversation on diversity and inclusivity has only just begun. Earlier this week, the designer sent activist t-shirts down the runway at Fashion Week, and now he has dropped another major piece of news: he's launching a Spring '17 collection with Lane Bryant. The retailer is known for its body-diversity campaigns with ads like #ImNoAngel, and it was precisely this billboard tagline, which Gurung saw while in a cab, that sparked his partnership with the brand.
"At that moment, I knew it made sense to have the conversation with Lane Bryant," he said. "Fashion gave me a platform to talk about these things - how was I going to use it?"
Gurung tapped Ashley Graham as the face for the campaign and designed a mix of tops, dresses, and jumpsuits in sizes 10 to 28. Prices range from $38 to $398. The fun, pretty pieces knock down any assumptions that it's hard to dress curvier women and, to us, this was the designer's way of promoting diversity. "We designed for the same women we always design for," Gurung said.
The collection will be available in select stores and online on Feb. 27. Until then, check out what you can expect from the new collab ahead.

This Photo Resurfacing of a Boy at His Twin's Grave Is Going to Rip You Apart
A heartbreaking photo posted to Facebook three years ago of a young boy sitting against a small gravestone has resurfaced and is crushing the internet's collective heart. The boy, Walker Myrick, now nearly 10 years old, was just 5 years old when his mother snapped this photo of him talking to his late twin brother, Willis, about his first day of kindergarten.
It's said that twins have a uniquely strong bond, and the Myrick family's story proves that there's undeniable truth to that statement, especially as Walker technically never even met his twin brother. Willis died in the womb at 23 weeks due to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), a rare disease that can occur when identical twins share one placenta. The boys' mother, Brooke, says that Walker often asks to visit his brother's grave to talk to him and keep his memory alive.
"He speaks of his brother all the time and, when he was a toddler, he would run to the grave and lean down and hug it," Brooke told Mirror Online. "I think their connection is strong, even in death. Identical twins are known to carry a very strong connection and I believe it's still there with my boys. Willis truly lives through Walker - and I think he watches over him."
On the day this particular photo was taken back in 2012, Walker specifically asked to go see Willis after his first day of kindergarten. "Walker told us he wanted to tell Willis about starting school," Brooke said. "I found him like this after getting my baby out of the car. I saw him sitting there and knew I had to snap a photo."
Brooke is using her story to educate people about TTTS, as she had never even heard of the disease before Willis's death. "We were not screened for it, nor did our doctor refer us to a specialist or even know that my boys were identical and sharing a placenta," she said. "We fight for awareness because of the lack of knowledge that our doctor possessed about this disease."
To do so, Brooke holds a walk in honor of the boys' birthday to raise money for the TTTS Foundation every year, called the "Walker and Willis Birthday Walk to Fight TTTS" - this year's walk will be held on March 11.
"Ten years without my sweet Willis does not seem right," Brooke said. "But Willis lives on through Walker and all he does to fight TTTS."

Bruno Mars Proves He's the Heir to Michael Jackson's Throne at the Grammys
Following Beyoncé's epic, dreamlike performance at the Grammys on Sunday night must have been daunting, but luckily Bruno Mars was up to the task.

J.K. Rowling Just Gave Piers Morgan a Huge Valentine's Day BURN on Twitter
We knew that J.K. Rowling was magical even before the days of social media, but she is truly the brightest witch of any age on Twitter. Following a weekend-long tweet feud with controversial TV personality Piers Morgan, the Harry Potter author gave Morgan the Valentine's Day gift of a self-burn by laying an impressive Twitter trap for him. Somebody call Madam Pomfrey, because we think he'll need the hospital wing after this!
It all started with Rowling screengrabbing a flattering excerpt written about her by Morgan in a 2010 Daily Mail piece about "100 British celebrities who really matter." (Already priceless, right?) She facetiously asked who the author was so she could thank him, and let's suffice it to say that Morgan took the bait.
Just been sent this! Could the writer let me know who he is? I'd love to thank him! #Valentines http://pic.twitter.com/OQtbxPD6AL

Priceless #humblebrag BS. Nobody plays the celebrity game more abusively or ruthlessly than you, Ms 'Intensely Private Billionaire'. https://t.co/5ysnfefa3d
- Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 14, 2017
After Morgan insulted Rowling, clearly not recognizing the complimentary writing as his own, the internet was quick to point out his mistake.
Now this is how you peacefully troll someone, it's from a Piers Morgan article from 2010 https://t.co/9oPhZRQh9z h/t @BestoftheMail https://t.co/F32rLkEX7y
- Ian Morris (@IanMorris78) February 14, 2017
Which, of course, caused Morgan to backpedal faster than a caffeine-hyped unicyclist.
Relax, quarter-wit, I knew what it was. Just surprised I put her as high as 97th. https://t.co/HCzx4Ius4E

Rowling's masterful burn was so severe, even Lucius Malfoy actor Jason Isaacs couldn't help weighing in . . .
Exposum jerkofficus maximus!!!

Wand drop indeed. You go, J.K. Rowling!
It's About Time You Joined the Coach Club This Fall
Picture this: you're hanging with Dorothy in tornado alley right before the storm hits - then a bunch of rocker-chic models roll in. That was Stuart Vevers's setting for Fall 2017, which is different than last season (when his cool kids hung around a car pile-up), but this collection is obviously elevated.
Floral puffers with shearling collars will replace the must-have moto coats and varsity jackets and kitschy top handle bags will make it onto wish lists for ladies who refuse to forget their youth. The long pouch shape instantly conjures images of our old pencil cases after all.
It's Impossible to Enjoy Every Single Parenting Moment, So I'm Not Going To
Taking four kids to the grocery store isn't my idea of a good time, especially when they're tired, hungry, and/or bickering – which at least one in the group always seems to be. Then one day in the checkout lane, my impatience came to a head. Two were elbowing one another, one was begging for gum for the thousandth time, and the baby was wailing furiously. "Just. Stop," I hissed at them with widened eyes and gritted teeth, visibly irritated.
The older woman checking out ahead of me gave me a knowing smile and eyed my children wistfully. "I know it's hard sometimes," she said, "but enjoy every moment, because they grow up so fast. My four are all out of the house now and I hardly get to see them anymore."
Just like that, my anger deflated, replaced by a sudden wave of mom-guilt delivering a walloping punch to my gut. "It's true," I thought. "This is all the time I'm going to have with them. Someday they'll have separate lives and families of their own, and I'll be secondary. They'll never need me again the way they do now."
I was slightly annoyed by the reminder – life was so much easier when I was just pissed off at them – but I couldn't ignore the sentiment behind the woman's statement. I knew it was true because that wasn't the first time I've heard it straight from the mouth of someone with experience, someone who has been there. And it was confirmed every time I looked at them and caught a brief, surprising glimpse of their maturity: how big they'd gotten, how gangly their limbs were becoming, how independent they are.
Time is, indeed, slipping through my fingers like water. And because of each "enjoy every moment" reminder or article I read, I'm perpetually afraid that I'm not enjoying it enough.
Time is, indeed, slipping through my fingers like water. And because of each "enjoy every moment" reminder or article I read, I'm perpetually afraid that I'm not enjoying it enough. I try to stop and notice the little things, like the way they smell and the way their eyelashes curl against their cheeks while they sleep. I wonder endlessly if this is enough to sustain me.
I picture myself as an old lady alone in my childless, spotless living room, staring out the window, laboring to breathe under the crushing weight of grief that too many moments went by unnoticed, unacknowledged. Wishing I had a few more crumbs to clean up or a few more squabbles to mediate. I live my life under an umbrella of worry that I'm not soaking enough of it in – that someday I'm going to come to the horrible realization that I should have appreciated their childhood more, but by then it will be too late.
But when I stop to think about it, I realize that some degree of sadness – of mourning the loss of their childhood – is likely inevitable, no matter how much of it I actively enjoy. I mean, is there ever really a saturation point for that kind of thing? Can we quantify exactly how much we must savor before we've relished enough? Would we ever reach a point where we could look back someday and be perfectly satisfied that we hadn't missed a thing? Probably not. I'm sure, as sure as I am that they're growing up too fast, that I will always wish for one more bedtime story . . . one more handmade card . . . one more, "Mommy, I love you!" . . . no matter how many moments I take now to absorb it all.
"Enjoy every moment" is too lofty a goal.
"Enjoy every moment" is too lofty a goal. It's a lot of undue pressure to put on ourselves. There will never come a day when we don't reminisce and wish we had more time, so there's no point in putting ourselves under such an immense strain for an outcome we're never going to get anyway.
It's like this: I'm standing underneath an Autumn tree when a brisk wind blows dozens of leaves down, swirling around me like rain. Instead of frantically trying to catch them all, which is impossible, I'll just smile at the beauty of the overall chaos – and then catch a few of the best and brightest leaves to press into a book. And later, when I look at it, I'll look at those leaves and they'll remind me of the whole experience: wind in my eyes, leaves everywhere. I may not have caught each one, but I was there to see them as they whirled frenetically around me, all part of a bigger picture.
I hope that's enough. I have to think it will be.

19 Oscar-Nominated Films You Can Watch in the Comfort of Your Home

The Yoga Sequence That Makes Sex More Fun
What you've heard is true: yogis do it better. With improved flexibility, body awareness, stress reduction, and controlled breathing (an essential for any woman who has difficulty reaching the big "O"), yogis are able to translate the many gifts they've learned on the mat to the bedroom.
If you can't let loose in certain positions, or you constantly say "ow!" when you and your partner want to try something new, this short yoga sequence will alleviate those common issues. This relaxing yet energizing sequence brings special attention to your back, hips, and hip flexors - three of the most common trouble zones that can lead to discomfort during sex. When all is said and done, you'll be tempted to step off your mat and underneath the sheets . . . or on top of the sheets . . . or on the couch (you get the picture).

Both the mice have cheeky winks and come in a pack of two for $10 at Walgreens and on Lip Smacker's website.
The set is the perfect gift for Galentine's Day and is sure to make your bestie, daughter, or work wife shriek with glee.
Why You Need to Stop Doing the "Instagram Brow" - and What to Do Instead
You know those super drawn-on brows that are all over Instagram? Well, there's a time and a place for them (like on Insta!), but that ultra-defined, no-coloring-outside-the-lines look tends to read kinda harsh in the real world. In fact, they can be downright distracting! That's why makeup artists backstage at New York Fashion Week Fall 2017 have been opting for brows that are soft, feminine, and natural.
"When nature gives you something, I think you should embrace it," said Tom Pecheux, makeup artist for MAC, backstage at the Oscar de la Renta show. "It's like when people order a dish and, even before trying it, they add some salt. Try the food first and see if you need to change it. It's the same thing with the eyebrow. You don't have to change your brows and do what everyone else is doing. See what fits you the best."
In other words: don't try to draw on the same eyebrow that everyone else is wearing. Instead, embrace your natural shape, groom it, and keep it gently defined. To help you get that coveted defined but natural brow at home, we asked NYFW makeup artists for their best tips and tricks. Keep reading!

We Can't Decide If This Ed Sheeran Remix Is Too Much or Our New Jam
We just can't get enough of Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You." While he's given us multiple versions of the song to obsess over within the past month, there's now a dance remix.

While it definitely strays from the original, we can't deny that the catchy beat makes for the perfect party jam. So what are your thoughts? Yay or nay?
Everything We Know About the Season 7 Finale of The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is back and in full swing. In light of the Winter premiere, we have plenty of questions. Where did Gabriel go with all of Alexandria's food? What is this mysterious new community that has ambushed Rick? While we're watching the various groups as they merge for the "All Out War" against Negan, we can't help but wonder where the second half of the season will end up. From the looks of it, sh*t is going to go down very, very soon.
1. Worlds Will Collide More Than Ever
In an interview with TVLine, showrunner Scott Gimple spoke about the impending "All Out War" with Negan. Will both sides collide before the season concludes? "I wouldn't say one way or the other," Gimple teased, "but we'll definitely see aspects of some stories from the all-out war story. [The finale] is just a huge swath of tones and worlds and characters and moments."
2. We Will, at Some Point, Return to Oceanside
Gimple also hinted at more involvement with Oceanside in a future episode. "There's definitely unfinished business there," he said. "And the information that Oceanside - and what it possesses - would be a very big deal to Rick." Of course, we could return to Oceanside sooner than the finale, but this means there's a strong chance they could come into play at the end of the season as well.
3. We Will Definitely See a Big Battle or Two With Negan
If you go by the comics, you can get a pretty good idea of where we'll land. ComicBook.com notes that we average about 20 issues per season, meaning the finale will take us to about Issue #120. This issue contains a second big battle with Negan. The villain descends on Alexandria and causes great destruction with plenty of grenades. However, the troops from Hilltop show up at the last moment to come to Rick and his army's aid. They eventually drive the Saviors off . . . for the time being.
4. Negan Will Not Die
As much as we want to see Negan's horrible, painful death on the show, it's just not going to happen in season seven. We know this because we've already got some details about season eight, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan is already on board. Plus, we hate to break it to you, but Negan's still alive in the comics. So, unless they deviate, we're going to have to deal with him for a long, long time.
5. There's an Extremely High Chance of Victory
In January, Andrew Lincoln spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the remaining episodes of season seven. Based on the way he spoke about the finale, we can expect a change of luck for Rick and his group. "Wait till [episode] 16," he exclaimed. "I promise you, there is one beat in 16, I dropped my script and started punching the air and did a little jig."
The season seven finale airs on April 2.
Fifty Shades Darker: The Christian Grey Nudity Breakdown
Fifty Shades Darker is one of those movies where, if you're planning on seeing it, you're not really asking whether it's good. (But for what it's worth: it is better than Fifty Shades of Grey.) One question it's natural to have about a film based on the notoriously sex-filled books from E L James is: how much nudity is in this movie?
It's a fair question and one we had back when we were waiting for Fifty Shades of Grey, and Jamie Dornan dashed dreams everywhere when he said we wouldn't be seeing his "todger." And, of course, there was lots of nudity in the first movie. So how does Fifty Shades Darker stack up?
Well, Jamie Dornan said he didn't know a few months ago and that we'd have to "wait and see." Unsurprisingly, we see no penis. This is rated R, not NC-17, after all, and in today's pop culture, it's a rare title that shows us male full-frontal nudity. But at least it's not that unfair - in Fifty Shades of Grey, Dakota Johnson did full frontal, including an infamous pubic hair shot, but this time, she's relatively under wraps. I mean, she shows her breasts a lot, because this is America.
As for Dornan? We get a tease of the top of his butt in an early scene, then later, in the Red Room, we see him naked from the back. Full rearal, if you will. It's distinct also because in most of the sex scenes, he rarely gets fully naked. I guess he likes doing it in pants, like a reverse Donald Duck. You do you, Christian Grey.
FINALLY! There's a Harry Potter Movie About Lily Evans and the Marauders
For Harry Potter fans, one of the biggest stories we want to know about isn't necessarily of Newt Scamander and his adventures - it's about Harry's parents and their lives before him. What could be better than to see what types of adventures the Marauders got into or just how close Lily Evans and Severus Snape were? Well, one new fan film is here to give us a peek into that life with the short web series Lily Evans and the Eleventh Hour.
Created by Apple Juice Productions, Lily Evans and the Eleventh Hour takes us through Lily's sixth year at Hogwarts. In it, you'll see what her friendship with Alice Longbottom was like and, of course, a deeper look into her relationship with James Potter. The three-part web series is all available to watch on Apple Juice Production's YouTube channel. You can watch the first episode above. Trust us, this is something you'll want to set aside time for.
Drew Barrymore Reveals Why Her New Netflix Show Put Her in the Hospital For 2 Days
Drew Barrymore is currently riding high on the success of her campy, gory new sitcom, Santa Clarita Diet, but the blood that's frequently spilled on screen wasn't all fake. Drew plays a zombie (well, sorta) in the Netflix hit, which required her character to do a number of stunts throughout shooting (jumping onto people, gnawing on their jugulars . . . you get the picture). Drew recently sat down to chat with a group of journalists, along with costar Timothy Olyphant and show creator Victor Fresco, about her experience on the show and revealed why her initial choice to do her own stunts almost ended in disaster. "I jumped on a guy's back in rehearsal, and I fell six feet onto concrete on my head," she said. "I was on top of him, and I fell backwards."
"She jumped on like a piggyback," Victor added. "I don't know if you have kids, but if they jump on your back and let go, and if you don't let go of their legs, they go back. [Instinctively] you hold on, so the actor held on. He was wide so [Drew] couldn't quite get her hands around, so she started to fall back, and we're all watching like in slow motion." Although onscreen husband Timothy "moved like a cheetah" to get to her in time, she unfortunately ended up in the hospital.
"It was definitely the scariest thing that's happened to me in many years," Drew said. "I went off in the ambulance and was in the hospital for two days, and from then on I requested someone else do my stunts. But then towards the end of the show, I was so vibrant and strong from all the diet and exercise that I kept wanting to get in the game. They were like 'Get out! Stop!' And I was like 'But I'm pumped! I'm alive again!' I'm too old, and I don't ever want to end up in a hospital for two days again . . . so, no, I won't be doing my own stunts anymore. In Charlie's Angels we did all our stuff. It was amazing. It was so empowering." Fortunately for Drew's skull, she also noted that "that chapter has ended." Hopefully she'll take it easy in season two!
Watching Gordon Ramsay Call This Man's Dish "a Dog's Dinner" Is Painfully Awkward
If Gordon Ramsay asked us to cook crab cakes in 15 minutes while he yelled the directions out to us, we'd probably be pretty intimidated. So we can totally relate to Shane, the "random guy" in Bon Appetit's new video entitled Gordon Ramsay Challenges Amateur Cook to Keep Up with Him. The challenge? For Shane to make "the most amazing crab cakes" in 15 minutes with the help of Gordon's direction - while the two cook with their backs facing each other.
"On a scale of 10, how bad are you?" Gordon asked. "Pretty bad. I'd say I'm a two," Shane said. Unfortunately, Shane proves his skills are pretty lacking when he presents his final dish to Gordon. "Jesus! Shane! You are bad," Gordon, never one to mince words, shouts at the end. It's equally pitiful and hilarious to watch Shane attempt to listen to Gordon's commands and keep up with the chef's crab-cake-making abilities, but the task was an admittedly difficult one. Prepare to laugh out loud as you watch the competition go down in the video above.
How 1 Dad Made His Girl's Disney Dreams Come True With an Epic Valentine's Day Surprise
As a commercial photographer, Josh Rossi has been known to go a bit over-the-top capturing special memories of his 3-year-old daughter, Nellee. For Halloween, he transformed Nellee into Wonder Woman, and for Valentine's Day, this dedicated dad created an equally magical surprise.
In honor of Nellee's current obsession with Beauty and the Beast and in anticipation of the upcoming movie, Josh decided to turn her into Belle - complete with a jaw-dropping yellow gown. Josh knows that Nellee's favorite scene from the movie is when the Beast comes out and they fall in love, so he photographed real castles during a trip to Europe to use as the background for this love-filled photo shoot.
Designer Ella Dynae donated three replica dresses for the little princess and when she first saw her gowns, Josh said that his daughter's reaction was priceless. "She kept jumping up and down and smiling at me. She's only 3 years old so she couldn't express herself verbally as much as she would like but I understood how happy she was," Josh told POPSUGAR Moms. "It was like going to Disneyland or something."
After she changed into her enchanting costumes, the pair took photos in a studio recreating some of the child's favorite moments from the movie, including a father-daughter dance to "Tale As Old as Time." "Acting out some of the scenes was the most precious moment for me," Josh said. "She was so happy to dance with me and I got a little emotional."
After the memorable day together, Josh got to work photoshopping the images. On Valentine's Day morning, he surprised Nellee with a stunning portrait that he felt captured their love to show his little girl just how special she is to him. "It's important for me to give her things like this first to remember the relationship we have and second because it's not really about the final gift," Josh said. "It's about spending time with her doing something we both love. She loves acting and I love photographing her in these fun scenes."
Starbucks's New Overnight Grains Are a Delicious Vegan Breakfast Option
Today, Starbucks's revealed its latest new breakfast option, and it's likely to become a crowd-pleaser. The Overnight Grains are another vegan and organic option for anyone following a plant-based diet.
The coffee shop's newest concoction comes layered like a parfait in a container. It's made with a blend of steel oats, quinoa, and chia seeds in coconut milk, topped with tropical compote, coconut, and almonds. The delicious option is ideal for breakfast, with 360 calories per serving and six grams of protein. The oats pack plenty of texture and flavor and are lightly sweet and refreshing.
Unfortunately, the Overnight Grains are only available at select Starbucks stores around the New York area. It's part of a small in-store test but will hopefully be rolled out nationwide soon.

Here's How the Big Proposal in Fifty Shades Darker Goes Down
Warning: spoilers ahead!
Fifty Shades Darker is out, and we have a feeling that fans of Ana (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) will be pretty happy with the latest installment. After a rocky start, the two decide to give their relationship another shot, this time with no rules and absolutely no secrets. Sure, they hit a few speed bumps on the way, but the end is definitely satisfying.
It all goes down when Christian has a nightmare about his tortured childhood. After Ana wakes him up, the two cuddle in bed and he asks her to marry him. That's right, he proposes! It's not really all that romantic, but just wait. Even though she doesn't give him an answer, she does give him an early birthday present. The only catch is that he has to wait until his actual birthday to open it - delayed gratification, if you will. He obliges and proceeds to go on a business trip to Portland. All seems well between the two lovebirds until Christian's helicopter goes missing.
As Ana waits with Christian's family in his apartment, she is emotionally distraught, realizing she doesn't want to live her life without him. And because this movie isn't a tragedy, he eventually bursts through the doors, completely unharmed. Now that it's actually his birthday (around midnight to be exact), Ana makes him open her present: a Seattle keychain. While he doesn't seem particularly impressed at first, upon further inspection he realizes the back reads "YES" in glowing letters.
The two announce their engagement to family and friends at his birthday party. Excited to finally have a "sister," Mia (Rita Ora) insists on seeing the ring before Christian assures her that they're going to pick one out together. After mingling with guests, he eventually steals Ana away for one last surprise. He takes her to the pool house, which has been covered with hundreds of colorful flowers. As Ana takes it all in, she turns around to find Christian kneeling on the ground with a huge diamond ring. "Share my life with me," he says with a sexy smolder. "Be mine. Marry me." To which, of course, she says, "YES!"
1 Fifty Shades Darker Detail That Will Make the Ending Seem Kind of Hilarious
When it comes to a movie like Fifty Shades Darker, the devil's in the details. For instance, according to our interview with Bella Heathcote, the key to figuring out just how crazy Christian Grey's ex is is noticing the one small prop she wears for the entirety of the film. When we attended Fifty Shades Darker's premiere in LA, we couldn't help but wonder what other fun might be hiding in between all the sexiness and danger of the highly and anticipated sequel. Luckily for us, Eloise Mumford, who plays Anastasia's best friend, Kate, had one fun fact for us that makes the ending seem so much funnier.
When we asked the actress what the audience might miss during a preliminary viewing of the film, she shared a fun piece of behind-the-scenes trivia: "The fireworks scene at the very end, we shot it in the middle of the night. And imagining fireworks is maybe one of the most fun acting things you can do." I mean, it totally makes sense. Launching actual fireworks into the air take after take sounds expensive and tedious. Even so, you can't help but crack a smile imagining Jamie Dornan, Dakota Johnson, and the rest of the cast looking at the sky and marveling at nothing. And now, that's all you'll be able to do. Sorry and/or you're welcome.
Turmeric Is the Hottest Ingredient to Add Into Your DIY Skin Care Routine
If rubbing a bright orange substance on your face makes you feel like Donald Trump, don't worry - what we're about to tell you has nothing to do with politics. The formula we're referring to is the turmeric spice, and it's a buzzy term in the holistic health community right now. The spice hails from India and has traditionally been used in cooking (it's part of the ginger root family). But these days, people are adding it to everything from their smoothies to face masks. We're going to explore the latter since turmeric has many amazing beauty uses.
"Turmeric is an age-old ingredient used for its internal as well as external health-and-beauty-promoting properties," explained Sheetal Rawal, a scientist and founder of brand Apsara. "It has been used in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years for its natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and color-balancing properties. Currently, it is also gaining quite some fame in the West for its significant antioxidant properties."
This ability to bring down inflammation translates to skin care by minimizing acne or bringing down a rosacea flare-up. You can also rely on it for antiaging benefits. "It is loaded with key vitamins that facilitate important skin renewal processes, such as the creation of collagen," added Adina Grigore, the founder of S.W. Basics.
Barbara Close, founder and CEO of Naturopathica, explained the science behind this: "Extracts from turmeric, known as tetrahydrocurcuminoids, efficiently quench free radicals on the surface of the skin due to their antioxidant properties. This protects against damage from ultraviolet radiation and environmental irritants."
In fact, it is even incorporated into prebridal Indian rituals, during which the bride and groom are massaged with a turmeric-infused, homemade herbal concoction. "Turmeric in this age-old concoction is supposed to bring out the 'hidden glow' of the skin," Rawal shared.
Those with sensitive skin should not fear turmeric just because it's spicy. "It's wonderful for anyone who has supersensitive skin, but even for normal skin types, it really makes the skin look flawless," said Joanna Vargas, celebrity facialist and owner of her eponymous brand. "Make sure you are using pure organic turmeric. Some generic store-bought options contain dyes that can stain your skin after application. This is one ingredient where you must go organic."
If you're still hung up on having an Oompa Loompa face, Grigore has more to add on the matter. "And no, to answer your burning question, it won't dye your skin yellow," she mused. "If you're using it in powder form, just be sure to rinse it off thoroughly!"

20 Actors Who Didn't Marry Actors
When it comes to the laws of dating in Hollywood, musicians are typically drawn to models, while actors tend to gravitate toward other actors. They meet on set while filming a movie - we're looking at you, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - or cross paths during an industry event and end up living happily ever after. For some stars, though, it's more appealing to settle down with someone who's not in the spotlight, like an agent, an artist, or, in the case of Matt Damon, a Miami Beach bartender. George Clooney made headlines when he married civil rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, whose impressive accomplishments more than match up to his acting career, and ballet professional Benjamin Millepied danced his way into Natalie Portman's heart when they tied the knot in 2012. Keep reading to see 19 screen stars who married nonactors.
The Delicious Ways Disneyland Is Transforming Fantasyland Into Belle's "Provincial Town"
As a huge Beauty and the Beast fan, I loved stepping into Be Our Guest restaurant at Disney World, but now Disneyland goers will have a chance to enjoy French cuisine, inspired by the animated film, as Fantasyland will transform into Belle's "provincial town" for a limited time.
Village Haus Restaurant, the Pinocchio-themed restaurant that currently serves flatbreads and brauts, will become Red Rose Taverne, a "lively French taverne with delicious, quick-service meals" Similar to Be Our Guest restaurant, the walls will be "[a]dorned with beautiful murals depicting favorite scenes from Disney's animated feature" and "each room of Red Rose Taverne tells a different chapter of the tale as old as time." There will be a menu change to feature French tavern foods and new signature beverages. The Disney blog promises, "We'll have details to share on these delicious additions soon - and yes, you will be able to try our own version of the Grey Stuff." Hurray!
Also, at Maurice's Treats Snack Cart (that serves twisted bread sticks) near Fantasy Faire, Disneyland promises new twists on the menu. "Marinara, strawberry, and even Grey Stuff dipping sauces will soon be available" to pair with the bread sticks. In case you're wondering what the "Grey Stuff" could possibly taste like, we've heard it's like Oreo or cookies and cream.
6 Things You Didn't Know About Ed Sheeran's New Song, "Shape of You"
At the beginning of the year, Ed Sheeran emerged from from a year-long hiatus with two very different new songs. While "Castle on a Hill" has more somber vibes, the other song, called "Shape of You" has more a beat to it. Recently, the latter song seems to have gained Sheeran's favor; he sang it on Saturday Night Live, and the very next day he performed it at the Grammys. With so much attention on the song (and a fire dance video, to boot), we decided to uncover a few fun facts about Sheeran's new sound.
1. It Was Originally Meant For Rihanna
In an interview with BBC Radio back in January, Sheeran revealed that he originally wrote the song with Rihanna in mind. "We were writing this song and I was like, 'This would really work for Rihanna.'" he revealed. "And then I started singing lyrics like 'putting Van The Man on the jukebox' and I was like, 'Well, she's not really going to sing that, is she?' And then we sort of decided halfway through that we were just going to make it for me."
2. Then It Was Meant For Someone Else
In the same interview, Sheeran explained that Rihanna wasn't the only artist the song was going to go to. Once he brought the song to his label, he suggested that it go to Rudimental, a British band. It was his label, actually, that suggested he use it for himself.
3. He Probably Wrote It About His Current Girlfriend
Although Sheeran tends to keep pretty private about his relationship with Cherry Seaborn, there's evidence the song is about her. After all, Sheeran says above he was the one working on the lyrics. Of course, "I'm in love with your body" is a dead giveaway, but other hints (like the "thrifty" first date) hearken back to what might be Sheeran's younger years. And, as Sheeran has said before, he and Seaborn grew up three or four miles away from each other.
4. It Wasn't Supposed to Be on His New Album
Another fun fact from that BBC Radio interview: "Shape of You" almost didn't make the cut. "This was the last song that was finished," he said, "and I just didn't put two and two together that this was even going to be on the album. I just kind of wrote it and was like 'Oh, that was fun.'"
5. He Almost Forgot That Signature Style He Used For His Grammy Performance
After taking his hiatus, Sheeran admitted he had forgotten the words to some of his most popular songs, and he had to relearn how to use a looping station. The machine is a signature of his performance style; it lets him loop his own sounds and, in essence, to put on a one-man show. He actually just did it during his Grammys performance, if you want to get a sense of what we're talking about.
6. One of the Songwriters Has a Very Famous Girlfriend
Sheeran revealed that he worked on the song with Johnny McDaid, whom you might remember is dating Courteney Cox! The two have had a rocky relationship, and called off their engagement last year. However, in the Fall, they were reportedly back together, so as far as we know, things are going OK.
Adele Stops and Restarts Her George Michael Tribute at the Grammys After Technical Issues
The sudden, tragic loss of George Michael in December is still weighing heavy on the shoulders of many, and the Grammys made sure to honor his incredible legacy on Sunday night with a musical tribute from Adele. The singer, who kicked off the night with a performance of "Hello," launched into a moving rendition of Michael's song "Fastlove." After singing a few notes, she cursed and paused the performance, referencing the technical issues she experienced last year. "I'm sorry, I can't mess this up for him," she told the audience before restarting the haunting tune and leaving everyone teary-eyed. We have a feeling Michael would wholeheartedly approve.
Skin-to-Skin Newborn Photo Shoot Featuring 2 Sets of Twins Has a Hysterical Backstory
Photographer Juliet Cannici and her wife, Nikki, just welcomed their second set of twins into the fold, and Gemma and Gia's newborn photo shoot has a hilarious backstory thanks to their older brother and sister, Nico and Siena. Although the sweet skin-to-skin photos seem intentional considering newborns are often photographed in their birthday suits, the reason all four children bared skin was due to such a typical toddler response to getting photos taken - the fancy rented clothes they wore at the start of the shoot were just were not cutting it.
Juliet explained the circumstances surrounding the cute photo - which features Nico and Siena holding hands, each cuddling up to one of their baby sisters - to POPSUGAR Moms.
"About an hour before that photo, I had the older twins dressed up in adorable outfits I rented from Rainey's Closet (a really incredible children's boutique that rents clothing for a short period - awesome for photographers). I was so set on capturing Nico and Siena holding the babies in the outfits I had rented. Nico and Siena were SO bored with me, the photos looked terrible. The babies just sagged lower and lower until they were practically on the ground instead of in their arms. I was disappointed.
You should've heard me and my bribery tactics: 'Do you want M&Ms? Jelly beans! I'll give you four jelly beans each! What do you mean you don't like jelly beans? They are your favorite!' It was not my finest parenting moment."
Juliet took the twins' rental clothes off so they could take a break and play for a bit, then she brought them back in to try to get one good shot of them all laying down - that's when the magic happened. "They immediately held hands and wrapped their other arms around their baby sisters. I got their big smiles by asking them to 'act goofy,' which they recently decided is just a hilarious saying."
The shoot was taken when Gemma and Gia were just 11 days old, and Juliet says Nico and Siena's smiles are totally genuine as "they are in love with their baby sisters." Scroll through to see the sweet photos of both sets of adorable twins.

It’s Not the Clothes You Should Look at on the Libertine Runway - It’s the Nail Art
The talented team of nail techs behind CND seem to never run out of inspiration - or energy. They're known for spending hundreds of hours on intricate designs built out of thin air and acrylic powder. And for this season's Libertine show, they outdid themselves yet again.
According to CND's co-founder and style director Jan Arnold, over 400 hours went into the Fall 2017 designs, and that dedication is mirrored in the fine detail of each nail. (No two models wear the same set!)
This is CND's sixth season working with Libertine and its designer Johnson Hartig. Arnold explained that 50 different nails are initially created before the team settles on the final designs and theme. For this Fall, the nails have a global source of inspiration.
"Johnson [Hartig, Libertine designer] was so inspired by the Romanian Gypsy," explained Arnold. "When you think of the Romanian Gypsy, she was sort of the original upcycler . . . merging clashing fabrics and textures together, and it just works effortlessly." As a result, each model flaunted nails with hand-painted roses as well as embellished talons, including "gypsy chains" which all women wore on one finger.
The needlepoint work of Uzbekistani village women was another influence on the finished look. This prompted "shag rug" nails (which featured threads woven and knotted into the talon, then trimmed) and "Bob Marley" nails (a nod to dreadlock-like fringe). Vivid colors, feathers, and beads added more excitement to each hand.
Read on to see how all these incredible concepts and designs melded into one fabulous manicure at Libertine Fall 2017.
It's Time to Settle This Once and For All: Are These Frosted Cookies Trash or Amazing?
You know those soft frosted sugar cookies from the bakery section in the grocery store? They're delicious, right? Or maybe you think they're a sad excuse for cookies and wouldn't dare eat one voluntarily. It turns out the sugary cookies are very polarizing, and a viral tweet has thrown the internet into a serious debate.
its that time of year again when stores sell these bottom of the barrel, flavorless piece of shit things they have the nerve to call cookies http://pic.twitter.com/tTA8Jx1kBl
- t (@taysux) February 13, 2017
Twitter user taysux tweeted a photo of the cookies, saying, "It's that time of year again when stores sell these bottom of the barrel, flavorless piece of sh*t things they have the nerve to call cookies." With 5,000 "likes" and counting, it seems plenty of people agree with her extreme opinion of the dessert. Others, however, couldn't disagree more. "Delete this blasphemous tweet. They're the god of all cookies," one person tweeted in response. "These are a delicacy and should be treated as such," another tweeted.
The POPSUGAR office is just as torn as the internet on this highly controversial subject. "It's not even a good cookie, but you still eat it because it has a lot of nostalgic feelings. It's disgustingly delicious," POPSUGAR editor Victor Verdugo said. It's time to settle this debate once and for all: are these frosted sugar cookies from the grocery store disgusting or delicious?
People Think the New American Boy Doll Reminds Them Too Much of Their Ex-Boyfriends
For the first time in its history, American Girl announced it's releasing its first-ever boy doll - Logan Everett! The doll, which will go on sale on Feb. 16, looks like the boy next door. He's a brunette, plays the drums, wears flannel, and has a grown up Justin Bieber haircut. It's exactly these qualities that's made the internet totally wary of him; he reminds us of any boy who's ever ghosted or sent a late night text.
