The Highs and Lows of Being an Idealist
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who don't care what people think of them and those who do. As much as I hate to admit it, I fall in the latter camp. I'm terribly self-conscious and always worry about how I'm coming across to others or what they really think of me.
Sound a bit paranoid? Welcome to the life (or should I say mind) of an idealist. We're a breed of people who see the world as what it could be rather than what it really is. Because, in an ideal world, people wouldn't think you're too uptight, too timid, or too boring. In an ideal world, there's no reason you shouldn't have that dream job, dream home, or dream partner. I'm an idealist to the core, and while it definitely has some advantages in life, it can also be incredibly trying. Below are the most common ups and downs of wanting everything to be better.
Lows
- Love (or lack thereof) hurts. I can't even count the amount of times I've shied away from what could've been a great relationship all because something about the guy wasn't what I hoped it'd be and I just couldn't live with it. Sometimes I'm too scared to give someone a chance for fear I'll end up falling for someone that doesn't fit the bill. I mean, this is a partner we're talking about; they've got to be the cream of the crop, right? (Otherwise, what will people think?!) A very unhealthy attitude to have, I know.
- You're a chronic overthinker - from wondering if your boss actually took that comment the wrong way to whether it seems like you're trying too hard by wearing a particular outfit. Sometimes it's as if everyone's out to get you.
- It's hard to let go. When you're faced with a less-than-perfect outcome for something, it can be seriously hard to accept it and move on. I always end up being overly engrossed with the how and the why, refusing to believe that a certain crappy situation is, in fact, real. My parents learned early on they have to give it to me straight: "Not everything is rainbows and unicorns."
- You are your own worst critic. When it comes to standards, yours are way up there. Because of these high expectations, you end up not having a lot of confidence in yourself. Sometimes you set yourself up to fail.
- You can be on the reserved side. It's important that others think well of you, so you take care in what you say and do and tend to be more of an internalizer. It's helpful when you actually need to bite your tongue, but in other situations, not so much.
Highs
- You get the best because you don't settle. There's always an article that could've been written better, a grade that can be one-upped, or more thought that could've gone into that project. You have incredible work ethic, and this keeps you on your A game at school and work. When it comes to relationships, you'll (hopefully) end up with someone amazing you love to pieces, because mediocre just won't cut it.
- It makes you a very caring person. Happiness is a top priority for everyone you know. When people are unhappy, you feel unhappy, so if something is somehow getting someone down, you do your best to help find a solution to fix it, fast.
- You have better friends. Something I've realized as I've gotten older is how much I've come to value meaningful, authentic relationships over knowing as many people as possible. Knowing you have a close circle of people that have your back and who you can talk to about anything is incredibly comforting and something to strive for.
- You fight for what you believe in. Dedication and willpower are big driving forces in your life, and once you put your mind to something, there's little that can stop you.
- You dream big - and then some. You're not afraid to aim high, and your mind is a minefield of possibilities of what could be, both professionally and personally. Dr. Seuss said it best: "Oh, the places you'll go!"
Say Goodbye to Surge Pricing Forever With This 1 Uber Feature
Once again, Uber is coming through with the perfect new feature for the holiday season - but it just so happens that this year, it's the feature we've been dreaming of for all these years. Never again do you have to stick around at that party for just a little bit longer in order to get the pricing down just a teeny-tiny bit, and you can completely forget about cutting your airport arrival horridly close in order to save a couple bucks - you can now officially beat the holiday surge by scheduling your ride in advance and locking in an upfront fare. The new feature works for scheduling rides that are between 60 minutes to 30 days in advance and will be rolled out to major cities across the US in the next week.
"The holiday season is always a stressful and busy time of year for travelers - whether they're rushing to make an early flight or heading to a holiday party," said Uber product marketing manager Alana Epstein, in a statement provided exclusively to POPSUGAR. "That's why we're introducing upfront fares for scheduled rides. Now, you'll always see the price ahead of time when you schedule at least an hour in advance, which ensures a care-free travel experience and no surprises on availability or fare."
To get started with scheduling out your holiday, tap "Where to?" as you normally would, select a date and time at least 60 minutes in advance, add in your pickup and drop-off locations, and voila! Before your very eyes will be an upfront, hassle-and-surge-free price. Keep in mind that adding in any additional stops will likely affect your final price, and of course, the ride is subject to additional fees if there are delays.
So, what are you waiting for? Get those rides booked now for optimal savings, and we promise your bank account will thank you come January.
Wow, the Honeymoon Capital of the World Is Trashed and Abandoned - See the Creepy Photos
The Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania had been considered to be the "Honeymoon Capital of the World" for decades, but in the 1990s, hotels in the area started closing down.

The Penn Hills Resort and Summit Resort are particularly spine-tingling. Check out some of Seph's fascinating video and photos. Wouldn't it be creepy to visit these places? It's amazing how they've been left like this.

A New Shave Club Called Billie Is Here to Free Us From the Pink Tax Forever
If you're anything like me, you've spent the last couple years wondering why nobody had ever attempted to launch a Dollar Shave Club for women. Think about it: the so-called "pink tax" makes everything slightly more expensive for women, and there's no possible way to deny the straight-up racket that is the razor industry - so why not tap into that already-captive audience? Thankfully, there's now a brand that's willing to step up and take on the existential challenge - and it goes by the name of Billie.
Like Harry's and the aforementioned Dollar Shave Club, >Billie is a "female-first body brand built on providing premium-quality shaving and body care products through a convenient subscription model at affordable prices." And when they say affordable prices, that's really what they are - we're talking a mere $9 for the first order of two razor blades, a handle, and a holder. All of your subsequent refills (which come with four razor blades a piece) remain at that lovely price, as well - though it's totally up to you how often you get them sent right to your door.
Billie isn't just limited to razors, though. You can also add in additional products like shaving cream and body wash at an additional cost, based on how much you're willing to shell out. Given the prices listed on the website, it's probably safe to say that you're going to get a better deal on toiletries in your subscription than you would from your local drugstore, but you don't have to make a firm commitment up front, and the service is practically built for dabbling.
"We created Billie because women deserve to have a great shave experience at a fair price," cofounder Georgina Gooley told POPSUGAR. "Most shaving companies are created for men, and, unfortunately, women are an afterthought in this category. We're still overpaying for pink razors and subjected to the "pink tax." Our goal is to provide a shave experience that puts women first - we're delivering razors and bodycare products that are designed for the way women shave and pricing them at half the price of the competition and definitely without the pink tax."
And that sentiment isn't just a talking point. Billie's Nov. 14 launch is being celebrated with a very special "Pink Tax Rebate" program, which lets you earn credit that you can use toward a purchase simply by sharing a referral code with your friends and family. And like the service itself, there's no nonsense built into the way it works: for every 5, 10, or 20 people you get to sign up for the rebate, you get a $5, $10, or $20 credit added to your account.
Ultimately, it's hard not to be excited that there's finally a service like Billie that recognizes the disparity in pricing and the severe gap that's opened up between men and women's products. You can bet that I'll be signing up for the service starting today - and here's hoping that Billie is the first in a long, successful line of companies that help us banish the pink tax for good.

The 1 Royal With Better Bling Than Kate Middleton - Seriously!
In 10 years, the woman who was christened Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano went from news anchor to queen of Spain, and just one of the ways in which her life has changed can be charted by the contents of her jewelry box.
As she inched into royal life on the arm of her boyfriend and then fiancé, Prince Felipe VI, she gradually flashed some of her new baubles, along with some subtle pieces borrowed from her mother-in-law, Queen Sofía. As soon as she became princess of Asturias on her wedding day, it was all about the tiaras, suites of vintage jewels, and lavish designer gifts. However, since her husband became king in June 2014, the newly minted Queen Letizia has moved forward with increasingly quirky and colorful pieces that include elements like brass mesh and semiprecious insects. Here we take a look at some of her most important, impressive, and interesting items.

After Sterling K. Brown's Moving Golden Globes Speech, People Want Him to Win Every Award
Between his lovable onscreen persona as This Is Us's Randall Pearson and his devoted family man lifestyle IRL, we didn't think we could crush on actor Sterling K. Brown any harder. But then he walked up onstage to accept his historic 2018 Golden Globe for best actor in a TV drama, and his powerful speech about representation in Hollywood showed us that yes, it is possible to love him even more.
The internet agrees, of course. Between the oh-so-relatable move of whispering Oprah's name in awe - we would do the same thing! - and his impassioned story about why writing characters for people of color is more valuable than "color-blind casting," viewers were moved by Sterling's words. And when he promised his kids that he'd be home to drop them off at school in the morning? Consider that the home run for the internet's adoration of Sterling. Just check out these reactions to the speech, then feast your eyes on Sterling's dapper red carpet look.
A New Black Panther Trailer Is Here, and You Might Want to Sit Down Before Watching It
If you thought the Black Panther cast was jaw-droppingly gorgeous in theory, just wait until you see them all in action. Just a few months after Marvel dropped the official trailer for the upcoming superhero flick, which introduces us to Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa - the heroic man underneath the Black Panther costume - we got another look at the film during the CFP National Championship on Monday. The second trailer gives fans a new peek at Michael B. Jordan's villain, Erik Killmonger, and we also get some fierce glimpses of Lupita Nyong'o, Angela Bassett, and Danai Gurira as T'Challa's allies in Wakanda. Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler, hits theaters on Feb. 16. Watch the new trailer below.
5 Celebrities We've Already Had to Say Goodbye to in 2018

These 2 Fuller House Stars Brought Their Look-Alike Daughters to a Globes Afterparty
Fuller House reunion alert! Actresses Lori Loughlin and Candace Cameron Bure spent some time together after the 2018 Golden Globes, and both of their look-alike daughters were in tow for the picture-worthy family affair. Lori brought her 18-year-old daughter (and possible twin) Olivia Jade Giannulli as her date, while Candace brought her 19-year-old daughter Natasha Bure. Together, the four attended Netflix's Globes afterparty, and our hearts could barely handle it. See a few snaps from the iconic girl squad ahead, and then be sure to check out the most glamorous photos from the history-making evening.
The Crown's Claire Foy Looks More Like James Bond Than Queen Elizabeth at the Golden Globes
In case you were wondering, the cast of The Crown can pull off red carpet looks as easily as they can the royal family's 20th century garb. Claire Foy and Matt Smith, who play Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, respectively, in Netflix's sweeping historical drama, hit the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night looking incredibly sharp. While we're used to seeing Matt in a tux, Claire's black suit - which kept in line with the night's all-black theme - floored us (in the best way possible). Keep reading to see more photos of the costars!
Grab Some Tissues, Because Sterling K. Brown Has Revealed When Jack Will Die on This Is Us
The focus of Sterling K. Brown's night at the Golden Globe Awards might have been on his incredible win (and acceptance speech) for his role on This Is Us, but the actor also managed to drop a few spoilers about the hit NBC family drama. While walking the red carpet with wife Ryan Michelle Bathe on Sunday, Brown stopped to chat with E! News during their Golden Globes pre-show, where he let slip a significant clue about when Jack Pearson's death will finally happen onscreen.
"Before this season is over we will see how Jack Pearson dies," Brown confirmed to Ryan Seacrest. "I won't say too much more about it, but there's only eight episodes, so it will happen soon."
The show is in the midst of its emotional second season, which has seen some great arcs for Brown's character, Randall Pearson. Randall and wife Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) set out on an adoption journey, and further fueled the theory-heavy fandom that surrounds the award-winning show. When This Is Us returns, not only can we expect a conclusion to the Jack saga, but also Randall's tense confrontation with his brother Kevin (Justin Hartley), who closed out the Winter finale by driving drunk with Randall's daughter in the car.
The Hilarious 40-Year-Old Virgin Reunion You Probably Missed at the Golden Globes
Finally.@kelly_clarkson http://pic.twitter.com/JeMHwBr7e4
— Steve Carell (@SteveCarell) January 8, 2018
There were quite a few nostalgic reunions at the Golden Globe awards on Sunday night. In addition to the adorable leads from The Fault in Our Stars hugging it out and two unexpected Harry Potter costars sharing the stage, there was also a connection involving the 2005 comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin. While we wish we could relay a fun story about Jonah Hill reconnecting with those sparkly silver boots, the moment in question actually happened between Steve Carell and Kelly Clarkson.
Now before you get all "Um, sorry but Kelly Clarkson wasn't in The 40-Year-Old Virgin!" with me, yes, she was. Well . . . technically. Remember this?
Image Source: Universal Pictures
All these years Kelly Clarkson has had the infamous scene quoted back to her - in which Carell undergoes an excruciatingly real chest wax on camera and painfully screams out her name - but she'd never gotten the chance to laugh about it with Carell in real life. In fact, she joked about the hilarious quote back in November during an interview with Today's Willie Geist.
"I have yet to meet Steve Carell and I want to be like, 'So, was it a compliment?' Like, I dunno, like, you're in pain and you think of Kelly Clarkson," she said. "It was pretty hilarious. I do feel gypped though, 'cause I never met him and I'm a huge fan."
Fortunately, that was corrected at the annual award show when the "Love So Soft" singer bumped into the Battle of the Sexes actor and his wife, fellow actress and comedian Nancy Carell. We can't be sure exactly what was said between the trio, but judging from the couple's smiles, Clarkson had them both in stitches.

Of course, that wasn't the American Idol alum's first fangirl moment of the night. In the midst of an interview with Ryan Seacrest on the Golden Globes red carpet, Clarkson had a minor panic attack when Meryl Streep walked by. "Can I meet you?" she adorably asked the acting legend, before racing down the stairs for a quick chat.
Thanks to the New Blockers Trailer, You Can Now Watch John Cena Butt-Chug a Beer
How far would you go to c*ckblock your teenager? Not as far as John Cena, probably. The philanthropic wrestler - who is engaged to Nikki Bella but has no real-life kids of his own - plays a doting helicopter dad in Blockers, an upcoming comedy from Pitch Perfect's Kay Cannon. Cena stars alongside Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz, who join forces to keep their three daughters from having sex on prom night after stumbling upon their suggestive text messages. The new, NSFW trailer contains classic one-liners like, "Let's c*ckblock those motherf*ckers," and "What would Vin Diesel do?" so yes, it's worth watching (oh, Cena also chugs a beer with his butt, NBD). Check it out above before it hits theaters on April 6, 2018.
Trailer 1:
The Big Bang Theory Might Be Ending Soon, and Our Hearts Are Crushed to Pieces
The Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular shows on CBS according to the ratings, but Johnny Galecki, who plays Dr. Leonard Hofstadter on the hit series, just hinted that the show may be ending sooner than you think. While speaking with reporters at the Winter press tour of the Television Critics Association, Galecki addressed the series ending, saying, "The only manner in which the cast has discussed wrapping [the show] has been that we're all going to be very sad when that day comes."
If only he had stopped there, but he didn't. "I think at this point everyone's very comfortable with 12 seasons being a good time to go home and see our families," he continued. You hear that? That's the sound of hearts crushing everywhere. I mean, Jim Parsons character, Sheldon, is a national treasure, guys.
So, what does that mean for the show? As of now, the network has yet to announce any plans to officially end the series, so that's good news. Also, the show was renewed for two more seasons last year, which means we will definitely get a 12th season. Unfortunately, Galecki's comment won't help us sleep any easier knowing that there's a possibility that the cast might not want to return for future seasons.
For now, we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll be hearing "bazinga" for many more years to come.
26 Moments Between "The Rock" and His Daughter That Prove Their Bond Is 1 of a Kind
For the most part, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson keeps his personal life out of the spotlight, but thanks to Instagram and a select number of red carpet appearances, the 45-year-old actor has given us a sneak peek at his family life. The former wrestler is already a father to 16-year-old daughter Simone Alexandra with his first wife, Dany Garcia, and welcomed his second child with longtime girlfriend Lauren Hashian in December 2015.

5 Unexpected Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide
If you're like most people, the only reason you pull out your brown bottle of three-percent hydrogen peroxide is to clean a cut. It is a much less painful way to sanitize your wound than, let's say, alcohol (OUCH!). But did you know that hydrogen peroxide has a lot of other everyday uses as well? Keep reading to find out how to clean your kitchen, your toothbrushes, and even your feet.
Time For a Coffee Run! Starbucks Just Made an Exciting Change to Its Espresso
Starbucks is introducing a new item to the permanent menu, and this time it's not a trendy Frappuccino. On Tuesday, Jan. 9, Starbucks launched Blonde Espresso, the first new espresso on the menu in more than 40 years. The Blonde Espresso is a lighter roast that has just as much caffeine as its dark-roast counterpart, which up until now was the only espresso option for Starbucks's lattes and espresso-based drinks, like Americanos. Now you'll have the option of choosing your espresso for the first time based on what you like: dark or light roast.
In a press release, Starbucks said the Blonde Espresso is "lighter with a smooth taste," as compared to Starbucks's original espresso, which is "bolder and roastier." If this sounds like a better choice for you over the intensity of the darker espresso, Starbucks suggests trying the Blonde version with iced drinks, like an iced Americano or a Blonde Vanilla Latte. Starbucks makes the new espresso roast with lightly roasted Latin American and East African beans to bring out their "sweet citrus notes and smooth body." Just as you have the option for a Blonde Roast, Pike Place, or Dark Roast when you order drip coffee at Starbucks, now you'll have a choice for your espresso drinks, too. Sounds like this is the perfect time for a coffee run!
Wild, Wild, Wild: Miranda Kerr Debuts Her Baby Bump in a Leopard-Print Gown
Miranda Kerr isn't holding back with her maternity style. After announcing her pregnancy in November, the 34-year-old model debuted her baby bump at the InStyle and Warner Bros. party following the 2018 Golden Globes. For the star-studded afterparty, Miranda wore a formfitting leopard-print Balmain gown with a cascading ruffle train. Miranda kept her accessories simple with elegant jewelry from Niwaka and Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
Interestingly enough, Miranda's gown may have also been a subtle nod to her former days as a Victoria's Secret Angel. If you can recall, the lingerie brand recently collaborated with Balmain for the most recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai. Perhaps someone was feeling a little nostalgic?
5 Unexpected Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide
If you're like most people, the only reason you pull out your brown bottle of three-percent hydrogen peroxide is to clean a cut. It is a much less painful way to sanitize your wound than, let's say, alcohol (OUCH!). But did you know that hydrogen peroxide has a lot of other everyday uses as well? Keep reading to find out how to clean your kitchen, your toothbrushes, and even your feet.
Michelle Williams Parties With BFF Busy Philipps and #MeToo Founder Tarana Burke After the Globes
Michelle Williams brought #MeToo founder Tarana Burke as her date to the Golden Globes on Sunday night, and after the ceremony, they met up with Michelle's BFF Busy Philipps for a couple of afterparties. Busy showed her support for the Time's Up movement in a black strapless dress as she joined Michelle and Tarana at InStyle's annual bash as well as HBO's official soiree, and the trio was photographed leaving together after their night out.
Michelle was one of a handful of actresses who were accompanied by activists at the Globes this year; the All the Money in the World actress was lauded on social media for her commitment to making Tarana and her important work the focus of each of her red carpet interviews. Even though Michelle was firmly planted by Tarana's side all night, it was inevitable that she and Busy would meet up again after attending the show together last year!
Chris Sullivan Wore Black Nail Polish on the Red Carpet, Because He's F*cking Fabulous
As women at the Golden Globes wore all-black dresses to protest sexual harassment, many male allies also repped Time's Up pins in solidarity. Chris Sullivan took the movement one step further by rocking black nail polish on the Beverly Hilton red carpet.
You probably know Sullivan from his work as Benny on Stranger Things or Toby on This Is Us. You might also know him for his fabulous red carpet sartorial statements. In fact, this isn't the first time Sullivan has been unconventional in his style choices: he wore a top hat and purple bow tie to the 2017 Emmy Awards.
John Goodman Had a "Silly" Reaction to Roseanne Bringing His Character Back to Life
John Goodman is so thrilled to be back on Roseanne that he doesn't even mind the fact that his character on the long-running sitcom is, technically, dead. "I don't care," he said of Dan Conner's so-called death during an interview with Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming reboot. "I didn't care. It was irrelevant. It was just silly."
Although the Conner family patriarch was killed off in the sitcom's series finale in 1997, it appears the revival is going to cheekily ignore that creative decision. It's admittedly a smart move on their part, not only because Goodman has risen to A-list actor status over the two decades since the show ended, but also because seeing the original cast together again is too good to pass up.
"It was like we wrapped last week instead of 20 years ago," Goodman added. "The hair on my arms stands up. It's like if I was going to put my Boy Scouts uniform on again and it still fit."
Goodman isn't the only one thrilled to be back on the beloved comedy's iconic set. Roseanne Barr has dedicated herself to making the atmosphere of the show a pleasant one, perhaps making up for her notorious history of clashing with the Roseanne writers.
"I don't want to fight anymore," Barr told EW. "I don't have nothing to prove . . . I totally missed the process of collaborating and having my crew and my team and making my vision happen or whatever cornball sh*t they say. I just want it to be fun and a smooth ride."
Details about what exactly the new episodes of Roseanne will consist of have been scarce up until now, but the show's history of broaching real-world topics that families deal with every day - abortion, alcoholism, gay rights, and domestic violence - is definitely going to continue. The reboot will begin with Darlene (Sara Gilbert) moving back into her parents' home along with her two children, daughter Harris and son Mark, after separating from her husband, David (Johnny Galecki). Gilbert, who was a part of the show for its entire nine-year run, says that the reboot is the cast's "most emotional season yet."
"We were excited to put it on a network where people don't have to pay for it," Gilbert explained of the decision to stick with ABC. "There's nothing exclusive about it. This is a show for the Everyman and –woman in this country. We like the accessibility of a major network."
Roseanne is set to premiere on ABC on March 27.
Michelle Williams Fights Back Tears With #MeToo Founder Tarana Burke
Michelle Williams was visibly emotional at the 2018 Golden Globes on Sunday night. The actress, who is nominated for her work in All the Money in the World, showed up on the red carpet with #MeToo founder Tarana Burke as her date in honor of the Time's Up movement. "I am moved beyond measure to be standing next to this woman," she told E! News host Ryan Seacrest. "I have, like, tears in my eyes and a smile on my face."
Tarana Burke started the #MeToo movement in 2007 to offer aid for sexual assault survivors in underprivileged communities. Because of her tireless work and the frequent use of the phrase following Hollywood's onslaught of sexual harassment allegations, Tarana was named one of Time's People of the Year in 2017. Read on to see more photos of Michelle and Tarana on the red carpet at the Globes.
These Golden Globes Dresses Deserve a Close-Up
Every star in Hollywood put their own twist on wearing black to the Golden Globes. Some actresses, like Halle Berry, went short and sheer, while others accessorized with the brightest jewels. One thing was for sure: no two black gowns looked alike, and it was all thanks to the tiny details. (We especially loved Dakota Johnson's Gucci dress with an embellished bow back.) Just in case you missed any close-up snaps, we rounded up some fashion moments you need to check out ASAP.
A-Listers Saved Their Most Daring Dresses For the Afterparties
While the 2018 Golden Globes red carpet had a polished look with everyone opting for black gowns to show their support for the Time's Up movement, many A-listers saved their most head-turning looks for the afterparties. From Hailey Baldwin's supersheer gown to Jessica Biel's sparkly crop top, these are the best afterparty looks from the Globes.
This Traditional Malibu Wedding Looks Like a Modern-Day Fairy Tale
What makes a wedding truly extraordinary are the little details that come together to make a big impact. POPSUGAR's own reporter and producer Brandi Milloy paid special attention to every aspect of her big day when planning with now-husband Chris Simon. Their ceremony took place at St. Brendan Catholic Church in Los Angeles, a gorgeous structure with amazing architecture and stained glass. The reception was at Duke's Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
From the blush and rose gold accents to the elaborate dessert table, the whole wedding was a true fairy tale. Brandi even surprised Chris with a second dress that she slipped on after dinner. "Everything about our day felt like us," Brandi said. "It was timeless but at the same time very fresh and modern."
The bride's favorite moment of the day was right before she walked down the aisle at the church. "My sister and maid of honor, Sonya, and I said a prayer together before I saw my dad for the first time," she said. "It's the moment I had dreamed of for so long. He told me he was very happy for me and then we locked arms and together walked down the aisle."
Marvel at all the beautiful moments during Chris and Brandi's wedding in the photos ahead. We are totally inspired by everything!
This Fall Engagement Shoot in Central Park Is Too Adorable to Handle
Taking your engagement photos in the Fall means you can really have fun embracing the season. Ann and TJ captured their couple's session in one of the most iconic landmarks in New York City: Central Park. The two walked through the gorgeous Mall where the leaves were just beginning to change color, then made their way to Bethesda Fountain for more romantic shots. Their whole album showed their love for each other and the city, and it turned out perfectly. See their adorable pictures!
How the Roseanne Revival Is Tackling Trump's America Head First
Roseanne was never a show to shy away from tackling hot-button issues, and the ABC revival, premiering March 27, is about to continue that tradition.
Star Roseanne Barr has publicly spoken out in support of Donald Trump several times, so it was no surprise that the topic came up during her show's panel at the Television Critics Association tour on Monday. When asked about politics taking center stage in the premiere episode, the cast and creators said that they wanted to put forth an authentic representation of what many families in the country have been experiencing during and since the election.
In the revival, we'll see Roseanne and her sister, Jackie, feuding because of the 2016 election; Jackie supported democrat Hillary Clinton and Roseanne supported eventual-winner Trump.
"What we really wanted to do was find a way for this particular family, which represents a full cross section of values and beliefs . . . we wanted to get that debate going in a very honest way and a very real way," said executive producer Bruce Helford. "So whether you are pro-Trump or anti-Trump or pro-Jill Stein - whoever you were going for - it was really about getting that dialogue going in an honest way. There's no agenda on anybody's part but to get honest feelings out there."
Helford also cited perhaps wanting to start to heal things in this country, and star and executive producer Sara Gilbert echoed his sentiments.
"Our country is very divided, and we did have a wonderful opportunity to talk about this in the context of a family," said Gilbert. "I think what's going on is people feel like they can't disagree and still love each other or still talk to each other, so to me it was a great opportunity to have a family that can be divided by politics but still is filled with love, and what a great thing to bring to this country right now."
Barr herself feels like her show is reflecting where society currently stands in this country.
"The Roseanne show, I've always tried to have it be a true reflection of the society we live in. So I feel like half the people voted for Trump and half didn't, so it's just realistic," said Roseanne. "My show has always been . . . a realistic portrait of the American people and of working-class people, and, in fact, it was working-class people that elected Trump, so I felt like that was very real and something that needed to be discussed, especially about polarization in the family and people actually hating other people for the way they voted, which I feel is not American, so I wanted to bring it right down the middle, and we did."
Barr later said that she's not a Trump apologist - "There's a lot of things that he's done and said that I don't agree with" - but many poor and working-class people in the country focused on Trump's promises of bringing jobs back to those struggling to make ends meet. That's what they voted for, even if they disagree with the other things he says or stances that he takes.
Gilbert added, "This divide in our country and the fact that the working class has been under-represented in politics and on television, this just felt like a wonderful time and opportunity to try to give some people a voice in this country."
The panel ended with Barr saying that she hopes these kinds of dialogues can put an end to all the hate the country is experiencing right now.
"I think it's time to close ranks, and I would really like to see an end to hate-triotism in this country."
Why This Black Mirror Episode Is Actually Pretty Problematic
There are a lot of reasons to get upset about the events in Black Mirror - because yikes. The show is pretty much the only thing that can make you want to give your smartphone a wide berth, and in its fourth season, there are even more technological terrors to think about than ever before.
Surprisingly, though, perhaps the most controversial element of the Netflix series's newest run isn't the souvenir copies of an electrocution victim in perpetual agony in "Black Museum" or even the WTF factor of a woman who mows people down to cover up an old obstruction case in "Crocodile." It's the dangerous misrepresentation of contraceptives found in "Arkangel," the episode about helicopter parenting gone very, very wrong.
The segment centers on a single mother who decides to sign up her daughter for an experimental implant that will let her track her whereabouts - sort of a roving GPS system, permanently embedded in her BRAIN - as well as put parental blocks on frightening imagery, let her mom see what the girl sees, and better (read: worse) still, keep tabs on her vitals at all times.
It backfires once the girl reaches school age because the child needs to have her independence and, yes, even exposure to discomfiting realities of the world. So, our mom puts her creeper device away for years and the daughter spends the next decade in unmonitored bliss. But once she becomes a teen and starts shirking the rules and lying - namely, about getting experimental with her new beau - mommy dearest cranks the old system up and starts snooping around her head again.
What she finds out is that not only has her daughter been doing the horizontal mambo with her fella, but she's also gotten pregnant as a result of their tryst. So, momcopter races off to the pharmacy and slips an emergency contraceptive into her breakfast shake, essentially forcing her daughter's pregnancy to terminate without her knowledge.
The trouble here is that not only is that not what the medicine does in real life, but the scene also plays into a recurring trend of portraying the medication as one that can easily be forced on an unwitting woman.
Immediately after the airing, advocates for reproductive health education lashed out at the episode for showing emergency contraception as an "abortion pill," rather than a dose of medication that prevents pregnancy before it even has a chance to occur, because it falls right in line with certain disinformation efforts by antiabortion advocates.
According to Dr. Gretchen Sisson, a qualitative sociologist at University of California San Francisco's reproductive health research group, "There's a lot of misinformation out there about emergency contraception and how it works . . . part of that is an intentional effort of antiabortion groups to conflate emergency contraception with abortion."
It's not the first time a television series has treated the medication as being equivalent to an abortion: in The Walking Dead, for example, Lori Grimes is shown contemplating termination of her pregnancy by way of a batch of birth control pills. But the fact that it's just the latest installment in a continuing trend is beyond troubling and could have some serious consequences.
"A lot of shows have conflated emergency contraception and abortion or showed pills as a way to secretly coerce a pregnancy termination," Dr Sisson says. The danger of that false equivalence and villainization of the drug is that those who are opposed to abortion might see even more reason to fight against the availability of morning-after pills, even despite the fact that they don't simulate an abortion, in actuality.
But it's supposed to be the future, you say?
Yes, some have argued that because the episode is imagining a future scenario in which the pill might be able to terminate an early pregnancy because, sure, the show is all about minor advancements of current devices. Kids have locator bracelets now, but the "Arkangel" tech is nowhere near to happening (yet). In that case, though, the medication wouldn't be titled "Emergency Contraception," since it wouldn't be contraceptive, and they maybe should choose a less politically stigmatized and scientifically sound route to showcase that advancement than another pill.
"If they wanted to imagine some novel way for abortions to be happening in the future, then that would be interesting, that would be more creative, that would be something we haven't seen from science fiction," says Sisson. "So, that's an opportunity that they missed."
Here's Some Much-Needed Good News: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Isn't Retiring Any Time Soon
It's been 25 years since Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton, and fortunately, the associate justice plans on serving for several more years. On Jan. 4, Above the Law reported that Ginsburg has hired law clerks to assist her until 2020 - meaning she intends to remain on the Supreme Court through Donald Trump's first term of office.
As CNN noted, the 84-year-old legend would have likely retired if Hillary Clinton had been elected president. Following the unexpected outcome of the election, however, it seems she's changed her mind. When asked about a possible retirement in October 2017, Ginsburg said, "As long as I can do the job full steam, I will do it."
The justice's relationship with the current president has been contentious since even before the election. In July 2016, Ginsburg criticized Trump's ego and called him "a faker" - a comment which she later said she regretted and apologized for. Following her comment, Trump took to Twitter and said, "Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot - resign!" Unfortunately for Trump, it seems like Ginsburg won't be resigning any time soon.
The Social Video App of Our Dreams Has Finally Arrived
When Apple first launched Clips back in April, it was done quietly; the app was sold as an easy way to edit your videos to post on social, and though it was clearly positioned to take on juggernauts like Snapchat and Instagram, it didn't come across as anything that was revolutionary. Six months later, Clips 2.0 is open for business - and I can officially say that there is nothing quite like it available in the App Store, and I am hooked.
Clips brings all the functions of creating a video - recording, editing, reorganizing, compiling, publishing - into one user-friendly interface, making it feel like an easier version of iMovie or Final Cut. And while the value of having all these tools in one place may not have been clear in the first iteration of the app, 2.0 makes it even more obvious that this should be your go-to when you're about to shoot a video. The buttons are more clearly labeled, the app allows a full-screen viewing of the video content you're using, and it's way easier to have a friend take over the controls as you don't have to know what you're doing in order to make a masterpiece - and if their vision doesn't match yours, you can easily tinker with the footage to make it seem as though it was shot in the exact way that you wanted it. In other words, it puts the kind of high-quality editing we would expect from a professional within reach of anyone with an iPhone.
It's the features, though, that really sell the app for me. Take, for example, Live Titles. It's real-time, on-video captioning done via the technology behind Siri that is outstandingly spot-on. If for whatever reason your digital assistant can't pick up exactly what you were trying to say, you can edit it with just a few taps of your keyboard and add emphasis or punctuation where you want it. You can also change those captions to a variety of different styles, colors, and on-video placements to make it easy for anybody to see what's going on without having to turn on their sound. Or, if you're feeling really snazzy, you can just use Posters to drop in animated graphics and custom texts between scenes to say what you mean without having to speak it.
Then there's the Effects and Stickers portion of the program - tools that enable you to do things like transform yourself into a live-action oil painting or describe your day while sitting beside Minnie Mouse - which are even easier to use than ever and provide for a whole lot of ways to really set yourself apart from the other things that people are seeing on their social media feeds. It's all done in real time, too - so no need to go back and start from scratch after watching the footage playback after the fact. And there's no rendering or time-consuming "loading" screens to sit through; it's all just right there when you need it. And, bonus, you can seamlessly work on the same project on different devices with iCloud and never lose your place.
But it's iPhone X users who get the biggest update of all with Clips 2.0 - and it's one function in particular that I've found myself playing with for hours at a time. Selfie Scenes allows you to place yourself in a variety of 360-degree scenes while you're recording a selfie - that's right, this also happens in real time! - and that means you can instantly transport yourself inside the Millennium Falcon or drop into a famous painting with just one single tap. It's like the old-school Photo Booth feature where you could put yourself in a fishbowl, only you are actually part of what's going on in the scene - and it's jaw-droppingly accurate. Though there are only 10 scenes available right now, the idea is that these will be expanded upon - allowing your video diary to broadcast live from the middle of Times Square (in your bedroom) or at a French cafe (on the subway).
If you aren't sold on just how cool Clips 2.0 really is, there's one additional piece of information that might help you on your way: the app is completely free to use and can be easily downloaded in the App Store right now. So give it a spin, test the features, and see what you think; I'm fairly certain that you won't be disappointed (and, like me, you'll be waiting eagerly for the third iteration and what the team at Apple will come up with next).
Um, Did Donald Trump Just Forget the Words to the National Anthem? It Sure Looks Like It
Someone should teach Trump the old drag queen trick of repeatedly mouthing "watermelon" when you forget the words. http://pic.twitter.com/mNocb0Z1sG #NationalChampionship

Just days after describing himself as "like, really smart" and "a very stable genius," Donald Trump attended the CFP National Championship football game between the University of Georgia and the University of Alabama in Atlanta, GA, where he joined the Zac Brown Band and a gospel choir in singing the national anthem . . . or, at the very least, attempted to. As cameras panned to Trump on the field, some viewers were quick to call out that Trump had messed up the lyrics or had forgotten them altogether.
"It looked like Donald Trump just kept repeating 'applesauce' during the National Anthem," one Twitter user wrote. Another person tweeted, "Trump was mouthing some words during parts of the national anthem, but it was unclear what he was saying. He didn't open mouth during other parts."
It's also worth pointing out that Trump tweeted about the importance of the national anthem earlier today, saying that he wants our flag respected and "we want our NATIONAL ANTHEM respected also!" Hmm . . . well, that's one way to show respect, I guess.
We are fighting for our farmers, for our country, and for our GREAT AMERICAN FLAG. We want our flag respected - and we want our NATIONAL ANTHEM respected also! http://pic.twitter.com/16eOLXg6Fi

Yes, Trump Really Did Confuse "Consensual" and "Consequential" in a Tweet
It's one week into 2018, and we can officially confirm that President Donald Trump still does not have a proofreader for his tweets. On Jan. 7, the president wrote "consensual" instead of "consequential" in a self-praising tweet about his administration. Trump was quoting a New York Post column entitled "We're Still Better Off With Trump Than Clinton," but he mixed up two very different words from the article. The New York Post's piece reads, "His is turning out to be an enormously consequential presidency," and Trump failed to quote it correctly, writing, "His is turning out to be an enormously consensual presidency."
Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you, The Stable Genius! #ConsensualPresidency http://pic.twitter.com/o69kEHS2M3
- I'm like, really smart (@ms_sawyerbrown) January 8, 2018
Naturally, it didn't take long before Twitter started the hashtag #ConsensualPresidency and absolutely roasted Trump for such a stupid mistake. A few minutes after the original tweet was posted, it was deleted and replaced with the intended wording.
"His is turning out to be an enormously consequential presidency. So much so that, despite my own frustration over his missteps, there has never been a day when I wished Hillary Clinton were president. Not one. Indeed, as Trump's accomplishments accumulate, the mere thought of...
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2018
The irony of the typo was not lost on the people who recognize the weight of Trump associating himself with the word "consensual" at all. Multiple women have made allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump, actions for which the president has not faced any consequences. The fact that he mixed up the two words suggests he might not even know what "consensual" means.
Glad you corrected the tweet, we all know you don't know what consensual means. #ConsensualPresidency #Genius #likereallysmart
