A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Rice in Your Instant Pot
A friend sent me an Instant Pot in the mail a few months ago, with a note that read, "These are all the rage now." I hadn't heard of them until then, but now, all of a sudden, I've noticed that Instant Pot recipes are everywhere! With all the different options and settings, there's great room for creativity and, especially, for saving time. But it isn't just about casseroles, elaborate meals, or even desserts. Surprisingly, this handy kitchen device can be used to make basics - in about half the time and with a lot less cleanup - like hard-boiled eggs. And rice.
Here's a simple recipe for cooking rice in the Instant Pot. You can extrapolate it, adding oil, butter, chicken stock, or even some tomato paste and onions for a Spanish twist. Or you can just make a bunch of plain rice to have ready throughout the week and serve with other delicious meals you make.

The 1 Boot You Need For Fall 2018, in a Nutshell
Sure, the pin-thin '80s heel and chunky combats are still popular, but the one silhouette you won't be able to ignore this Fall is the Western-inspired cowboy boot. It doesn't just boil down to Kylie Jenner's thigh highs, Dua Lipa's cowgirl style, or Rihanna's cult-favorite Off-White x Jimmy Choo puffers, though these looks certainly gave rise to the viral sensation that is cowboy boots.
Now, they're becoming mainstream. You can find them all over the streets and in plenty of colors, heights, and finishes at your favorite retailers. So while you can definitely get away with keeping your staple booties on rotation, you're going to feel fresh as hell trying out a shape that's brand new. Need some pointers for your outfit? Just read on for a handful, then get to shopping.
Princess Eugenie's Chosen a Wedding Dress Designer, and This Is What We Know
Since Princess Eugenie announced her engagement to Jack Brooksbank back in January, we've been pondering over what her wedding dress might look like. With only a few weeks to go until her big day, a few details have finally started to emerge, and while the designer will remain a secret until the very last minute, we do know one thing for sure: the gown will be from a British fashion house.
Eugenie confirmed the news to British Vogue, saying: "I'm not telling anyone who is making it, but I can say it is a British-based designer." During the interview, the princess also explained how her wedding dress was "the one thing that I was really decisive about. As soon as we announced the wedding, I knew the designer, and the look, straight away. I never thought I'd be the one who knew exactly what I like, but I've been pretty on top of it."
Of course, there are now strong rumors that Erdem could be the chosen designer. Over the years, Eugenie has worn numerous dresses by the fashion house, and she even chose one of them to pose for her engagement portraits. However, there are also other names believed to be in the running. These include Vivienne Westwood, who designed the outfit she wore to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Ralph & Russo, who designed the gown worn by Meghan Markle for her engagement photos.
But could the princess choose a smaller house such as Gainsbourg, who designed the gorgeous ensemble she wore to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding? Only time will tell. As we patiently wait for her big day, take a look at some of Eugenie's most memorable fashion moments in Erdem, Vivienne Westwood, and Gainsbourg.

Getting Rid of Belly Fat Is Harder Than You Think - Here's How to Do It
I have this fantasy where I eat pizza and Salt & Straw Chocolate Gooey Brownie for every meal but also have abs. I'm not talking, like, a six-pack, but just some nice abdominal definition. (You'd think I'd go all out since this is a fantasy version of myself, but IDK. I'm sure there's something to unpack there.)
While there are probably some people who actually can munch on pizza all the time and somehow manage to look like one of the Amazon warriors from Wonder Woman, that's just not the case for most of us. That's because belly fat is notoriously difficult to get rid of, and lower belly fat can be particularly frustrating. Sometimes I feel like no matter how clean I eat or how many crunches I do, that fat at the lower end of my abdomen just isn't going to go away. Like Winter in 2018 or millennial pink. Unfortunately, while there's no way to spot-reduce fat from certain areas, there are some diet and exercise changes you can make to help reduce fat overall.
I consulted Josh Gallegos, trainer to WWE superstars, and Whitney English, MS, RDN, CPT of Whitney E. RD. Here are their best tips for reducing lower belly fat. And no, crunches are not on the agenda.

From sexy side slits to chic plaid prints and sleek tailored suiting, these are the styles that are bound to look good on everyone regardless of body types, shapes or sizes. Click through to see all the universally flattering trends, then give your Fall wardrobe an upgrade by shopping the trendsetting pieces for yourself.
This Is How Long It'll Take For Intermittent Fasting to Work
When it comes to getting healthier and toning up your body, one of the most popular of the countless options out there right now is intermittent fasting (or IF, for short). IF includes several different approaches to choose from, but most involve eating for only a short period of time during the day and/or limiting the amount of calories you consume. The results are apparent to those who've tried the method, but according to the experts, you need at least 10 weeks of following a few basic rules to see any changes.
Read on for more details about how best to make IF work for you, including whether the time of day you're eating has an impact on your waistline and what other benefits you can expect from the method, aside from a lower number on the scale.

Should You Hire an Astrologer to Be Your Matchmaker?
Finding love, specifically someone you can see yourself with for the long haul, can be an incredibly daunting task. Dating can be tough on its own, and then even if you find someone you connect with, you may notice differences and "deal breakers" over time that can cause you two to split. All of that emotional stress can take a toll! Could only putting in effort with those you're compatible with, according to astrology, help in weeding out the good from the bad and increasing your chances of success?
We spoke with an astrologer to get the scoop on how knowing more about your sign can help you find a partner. Here's why using astrology could be the secret sauce to finding your soul mate.

This Heated Mattress Pad Is a Total Game Changer For Those Cold Ass Nights
A heated mattress pad may sound like the sort of bedding accoutrement that your elderly grandparent boasts about, but lend me your ear. When the temperatures dip to the high 30s at night (at least they do where I live in Northern California), there's nothing quite as uninviting as climbing into a frigid bed. The sheets can feel glacial and rough, and while I'm not actually elderly, my bones can hurt.
On a whim, I ordered this Sunbeam Quilted Heated Mattress Pad With Dual EasySet Pro Controllers ($70) because it had over 1,900 Amazon reviews. I wasted no time introducing it to my bed and climbing aboard.
Aside from the most obvious and immediate benefit of having it - it made me warm and toasty - it soothed my muscles and back instantly. I'd used a heating pad in the past when my hips or back were tight (again, I'm not elderly), but I found I got way too hot, way too quickly. The mattress pad creates more of a lukewarm sensation that softly coasts through my bones . . . similar to what you might experience while getting a massage. And what's even better is that nothing changed, comfort-wise. There are no nagging coils, though occasionally I can feel the plug with my feet - it's located at the base of the mattress pad. It's not enough to irritate me, though, because I'm too busy blissfully falling asleep in my cozy cocoon.
I Haven't Eaten Dairy For 4 Years, and I've Experienced These 12 Massive Health Benefits
As a young animal lover, I stopped eating meat when I was 13 years old, and dairy was an absolute staple. I didn't think anything was wrong with it because it wasn't like the cows were being killed, right? Wrong. So wrong. It wasn't until four years ago, when I watched the documentary Vegucated, that I found out how inhumane the dairy industry is. I had no idea! Cows are artificially impregnated at an alarming rate, and after they gave birth, their babies are brutally taken away from them immediately and hooked up to a machine to give their milk to us. I was sobbing watching a farmer drag a newborn calf away from its mama while she screamed and tried to chase after it as they held her back.
I live in Vermont, where the joke is that there are more cows than people. I spoke to tons of small family farms to find out the truth. They all nodded. I was shocked that one very well-known organic farm explained, "The reason we separate the calf right away is so they don't bond. Already you can hear the moms and calves mooing to each other, and it'd be much worse if they stayed together." It made me sick. As a mother of two, my heart ached, and I felt compelled to give dairy up overnight.
Aside from feeling good about not supporting the cruel dairy industry, I had no idea how dramatically my life would improve over the past four years. Here are the amazing health benefits I experienced after going dairy-free.

This Map Shows the Best Streets For Trick-or-Treating Near You
There are many reasons to step outside your own street on Halloween - perhaps your neighbors don't participate in the holiday festivities or you live in an apartment complex or rural area that doesn't really allow for trick-or-treating. Maybe your kids are on the hunt for the ever-elusive king-size candy bars! Whatever your reasoning for wanting to mix things up this Halloween, there's one tool that will be your guide to the perfect trick-or-treating adventure: Nextdoor's Treat Map.
The free (and private) social media site for neighbors reports that over 115,000 neighborhoods in the US are already using the Treat Map, with 10 towns across the country reigning supreme in trick-or-treating optimization. The Treat Map is excellent for Halloween fanatics staying in their own 'hoods, too - it simply allows neighbors who are giving out candy (or other noncandy treats) to mark their homes with a candy corn icon, helping kids avoid the disappointment of ringing a doorbell with no response.
There's also a feature on the Treat Map that allows users to indicate that they're hosting a haunted house, so if your family is craving scares on Oct. 31, you'll know where to head.
Want to mark your house on the Treat Map or simply check out where the best trick-or-treating hotspots are in your hometown? Simply sign up on Nextdoor and tell your kids to grab their pumpkin pails - it's going to be a spooktacular Halloween!
Should I Eat 3 Square Meals a Day For Weight Loss? These Dietitians Weigh In
It sounds like your mom's golden advice: you should eat three meals a day to be healthy. Proponents of eating three meals a day claim it can regulate blood sugar and is better for overall health. But others claim eating five smaller meals, or three moderate meals and two small snacks, a day is actually more beneficial for appetite control and weight loss. So which one is it? We tapped some dietitians to find out.
The 5 Major Color Trends to Know For 2018
Sorry, guys, but black did not make the list as one of the must-have colors in this year's wardrobe. Instead, the choices lean toward bright shades like yellow and soft hues like lavender. Before you start panicking, however, neutrals are still popular (for those who fear a little color in their closets).
We combed through both runway and street style shots to come up with five colors we predict will be everywhere in 2018. As for how to wear them? The street style stars ahead will inspire you. Whether it's rocking an accessory in that of-the-moment hue or a full-on monochrome look, there are more ways than one to pull off the top color trends ahead.
Queen Elizabeth II Did Something at Diana's Funeral That the Public Did Not See Coming
Princess Diana was honored with a public funeral on Sept. 6, 1997, seven days after her tragic death. The event brought in an estimated 2.5 billion viewers, while another three million crowded the streets of London to follow the route of Diana's coffin from Kensington Palace to her final resting place at the Spencer family home in Althorp. Diana's two sons, William and Harry, joined the funeral procession at St. James's Palace alongside their father, grandfather, and uncle Earl Spencer. The coffin, accompanied by eight Welsh Guards, passed Buckingham Palace, where members of the royal family waited outside. Queen Elizabeth II was one of them, and as Diana's coffin was carried past her, she made a very rare move: she bowed her head.

16 Fashion Designers Whose Runway Style Hasn't Aged a Bit
Just because you're a fashion designer doesn't mean you're required to step out in one of your latest creations every time you leave the house. In fact, it's quite the contrary - many of the industry's most iconic people stick to some sort of signature style when presenting their shows, whether it's rocking a simple T-shirt à la Prabal Gurung or styling a classic white button-down like Carolina Herrera. And if you need any further proof that designers rarely stray from what they like, think back to a time when you saw Karl Lagerfeld without his glasses and a collared shirt. Pretty much impossible, huh?

Tracee Ellis Ross Might Be Addicted to These Boots, and Holy Crap, We Are Too
Tracee Ellis Ross is, simply put, the coolest person ever. Not only does she share hilarious Instagrams about all things fashion, but when she steps out for public appearances, she looks like she actually wants to be there. You know - doing her thing, smiling brightly for the cameras, and always in a fabulous outfit.
Tracee works with stylist Karla Welch on many of her red carpet looks, but from the number of times she's worn these lace-up Céline boots ($978), I can assume they're a personal favorite she keeps in rotation. Tracee even posted a paparazzi photo of herself debuting them with the caption "SPOTTED BY GETTY // #thegirlwholovestoshop."
Tracee's pick is one of Fall's biggest trends. The shape has a slightly Western flair, especially depending on the heel and whether it's a wedge or point, but the lace-up leather that hits right above the ankle will remind you of corsets from the Victorian era, strapped tightly to the top.
As a true lover of all things vintage inspired, I do feel like, with every step Tracee takes, I'm nearing my breaking point. I. Need. These. Boots. And while Céline carries them in black and brown, which would be favorable shades for the turn of the season, I think ivory just seems to pop - even against an all-white outfit, as Tracee proved at the Jimmy Kimmel Live studio in LA.
Ahead, read on to see three different ways Tracee's worn her prized possession, then consider scooping up her exact pair or all the similar options we surfaced from some of your favorite retailers. It's safe to say these shoes will be everywhere this season, and we're happy to call Tracee the bold pioneer.

The Reason Meghan Markle Wears Shoes That Are Too Big For Her Is SO Relatable
Whether she's on a trip with the queen, celebrating important royal events, or simply attending a family member's wedding, Meghan Markle's outfits always end up being the center of attention. Since her relationship with Prince Harry became public, eagle-eyed fans have been analyzing every single ensemble the Duchess of Sussex has been wearing, even learning some lessons along the way. The latest one, however, might just be Meghan's best fashion trick yet.
As noticed by some royal followers after her stunning appearance at Royal Ascot, the duchess seems to have a habit of wearing heeled shoes that are too big for her - and according to fashion expert Harriet Davey, the reason is pretty simple. "Celebs often go a size up, or even two, in the shoe department when they're at an event or on the red carpet," she explains. "And it's for one reason we can all relate to: to avoid blisters."
Luckily, wearing heels that are too big for her doesn't mean that Meghan has trouble walking in them. "A trick of the trade is to stuff the toe with padding like tissue or cotton wool, and this can be taken out once they feel like they need a bit more room in their shoes," reveals Harriet.
As it turns out, Royal Ascot wasn't the first time that the 36-year-old has used this trick - and it wasn't the last either. On the day her engagement to Prince Harry was announced, she was pictured in a pair of strappy Aquazzura heels that seemed to be several sizes too big. The same thing happened during the couple's visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Meghan appears to also have been a fan of this trick before she was even introduced to Harry. Ahead, take a look at all the times she's worn heels that were too big for her.

Victoria Beckham Goes Back to Her Roots in a Hilarious New Video For Vogue

You Can Count Chiara Ferragni's Dior Wedding Dresses Like 1, 2, 3
Oh boy! What we would have given to walk down the aisle in Chiara Ferragni's glistening Prada rehearsal dinner look. But just hours later, the style influencer and entrepreneur revealed her custom Dior Haute Couture wedding gown, which was obviously the most important look of the weekend in Italy, where she tied the knot with Fedez.
While Chiara's Prada midi was covered in gold and pink beads and stones, complete with a matching pouch and satin sandals, her Dior design was modest, composed of an intricate embroidered bodice with three-quarter sleeves and a high neckline, along with a full tulle skirt that featured a slit at the front, so you could see her personalized slingback heels as she walked. It required 400 meters of fabric and 1,600 hours of work at the ateliers, according to a press release from Dior.
But Chiara's party dress, another custom creation by Maria Grazia Chiuri, was stitched with song lyrics from "Favorisca i Sentimenti," written by Fedez, along with symbols that represent the couple's relationship, and a lion for their son Leone. Finally, Chiara changed into her third Dior masterpiece: a mini fit for a ballerina, which came with personalized Dior flats.
Chiara's bridesmaids wore sugar-pink Alberta Ferretti slips, some strapless and some with plunging necklines. Ahead, read on to see the major fashion moments we saw, including snaps of the matching Pomellato wedding bands the pair exchanged, then track the couple's hashtag, #theferragnez, on Instagram for even more shots from the evening.
These Are the Boots That Will Look Best With Your New Fall Jeans
Jeans and boots are probably the most classic Fall outfit we can think of. But as we know from experience, not every jean goes with every boot, and it takes a little bit of patience to achieve that effortlessly styled look. No matter if you love combat boots, sock boots, Western boots, or sleek pointed-toe boots, they can all be styled to make a statement with your wardrobe's best friend, jeans.
The classic combo can be broken down into two main categories: either you're tucking your jeans into your boots or you're letting them hang over the boots. If it's the former, you want to make sure the ankle on the boot isn't too tight and that it comes up high enough so there's no awkward space between the hem of your jeans and the top of your boot. If it's the latter, it's actually better to have a boot that's more fitted at the ankle, so it doesn't look bulky underneath the pants. However you like to style your jeans, there's a chic boot that will make them look elevated and cool. Just keep reading to shop our picks!
