Better Than a Pumpkin Spice Latte: How to Make Healthy, Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee
I'm a walking cliché of someone who is obsessed with Fall: I love layering sweaters and scarves, practically live in my riding boots, and eat and drink everything that's pumpkin spice flavored. (I even dragged my husband to a sad little pumpkin patch in the middle of Queens one October, but that's a tale for another time). The problem with indulging in all the treats of the season, however, is that they're usually packed with sugar and calories.
Take Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte for example. If you order a traditional Grande how, made with whole milk and whipped cream, the drink contains 420 calories, 18 grams of fat, 52 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of sugar - yikes! And while there are ways to make it healthier, that's still a lot of sugar for a breakfast beverage. Consuming that much sugar first thing in the morning is sure to spike your blood sugar, only to make it crash by mid-morning, leaving you with hunger pangs and craving more simple carbs.
Since I love the flavors of pumpkin spice, especially in my coffee, I have found a simple way to make it healthier. I start with pumpkin spice flavored coffee grounds, such as Joe's Harvest Pumpkin Spice Coffee ($10 for a 12-ounce bag on Amazon). Instead of whole milk or my beloved unsweetened almond milk, I add another punch of pumpkin spice flavor with Pumpkin Spice Nutpods ($15 for a four-pack on Amazon). When I did Whole30 a couple years ago, Nutpods were a life-saver: they're sugar-free, dairy-free, and made with coconut cream and almond milk, which means they are Paleo, Whole30-compliant, and keto-friendly. The Pumpkin Spice Nutpods have just the right amount of Fall flavor without being too overwhelming.
If I'm craving something a little sweeter I'll add a drop or two of liquid stevia, but usually I don't need it. And then I top it off with a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice (I use the one from Trader Joe's). One cup of my pumpkin spice coffee is about 12 calories, one gram of fat, and zero grams of sugar. Since I usually have more than one cup - which is just a measly eight ounces and who can survive on just eight ounces of coffee in the morning? - I typically consume about 25 calories, two grams of fat, and zero grams of sugar in my morning Fall coffee.
And since I'm a ride-or-die iced coffee fan, I typically drink it cold, even in chilly temps. I use the coffee grounds in my Hario Cold Brew Coffee Wine Bottle ($23 on Amazon) to steep overnight, then add my Nutpods creamer and pumpkin spice the next morning.
If you're craving a Fall coffee with a fraction of the calories and no sugar, try making this concoction at home. It pairs nicely with a blanket scarf and puffy vest.
The Spice Girls Hanging Out With the Royals Is the Most British Thing You'll Ever See
What do you get when you put the Spice Girls and the royal family together? Why, the most British thing you could ever see, of course. Since releasing their very first single over 22 years ago, the former girl band has met with the royals on many occasions, and judging by the following photos, it seems as though the famous family might love them as much as we do.
From meeting a very excited Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice to breaking royal protocol and planting a kiss on Prince Charles's cheek, Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, and Emma Bunton have had some pretty epic moments with the British royal family. Read on to see 10 photos of the two worlds colliding.
Books to Help Introduce Young Kids to the Events of 9/11
Try as we might to shield our children from harm and the horrors of the world, sometimes it is best to face it head-on. As we remember the events of 9/11, we will be inundated with images of the burning twin towers, the Pentagon in smoke, and a plane in a field. Turn off the TV, and your little ones are still likely to see the images when Mom turns on the computer or Dad opens the newspaper. Children who weren't even glints in our eyes in 2001 are now old enough to ask what Sept. 11 is all about.
A number of books have been written about the events, but the following are geared toward young kids - toddlers to middle schoolers - to help introduce 9/11 in an age-appropriate manner.
5 Tips For Helping Your Teen Handle - and Treat - Their Acne
Many things have changed since we were teenagers - the pervasiveness of the cell phone and reliance on social media are definitely at the top of the list - yet much has stayed the same. The pressure to fit in has always existed, and one of the many factors in feeling like you fit in is having clear skin, though, let's face it: everyone struggles with it in some capacity. If your teen is having trouble with their complexion and you haven't figured out how to treat their pimples, read on for five antiacne tips from Circle of Moms members whose kids have been there recently.
Team Edward Forever! Robert Pattinson Says He's Ready For Another Twilight Movie
It's been almost 10 years since Twilight hit theaters, but for the film's star Robert Pattinson, it still feels like it was just yesterday. While promoting his upcoming film High Life, the 32-year-old actor reminisced about the vampire saga that helped him rise to stardom. "It definitely doesn't feel like 10 years ago," he told Variety. "I feel like I stopped mentally progressing around the time when I started doing those movies, so it feels like not a day has passed."
While he has since said goodbye to Forks, WA, we can't help but wonder, would he ever consider reprising his role as Edward Cullen in a reboot? Never say never. "I was literally just talking to my agent about it," Pattinson joked during his interview. "The amount of time I've spent moisturizing, I am ready to play 17 at a moment's notice. Ready! I've got the Botox out! I can do it."
Even though it's pretty unlikely we'll ever see Pattinson glimmer in the sunlight again, you can catch the next best thing when Twilight returns to theaters in October.
Searching: Did You Catch These Hints Throughout the Twisty Thriller?
Warning: This post contains spoilers for the movie Searching.
Starring the venerable John Cho and Debra Messing, Searching is one of the twistiest thrillers you'll ever come across. Just imagine a modern-day Hitchcock project that occurs entirely on a computer screen interface. In the film, David Kim, an anguished widowed father, launches a full-fledged internet investigation to figure out what happened to his missing 16-year-old daughter, Margot. While working on his own theories, he gets help from his brother Peter and Detective Rosemary Vick. But, of course, things are not as they seem.
Anyone who made it to the end of Searching will surely appreciate the twists, plants, and buildup that the filmmakers use to create suspense and a logical narrative. Still, even the shrewdest internet sleuths may overlook or glaze over some of the cleverly hidden clues in Searching that point to the shocking reveal of what happens to Margot. Just in case you missed them, we've rounded up the most important hints sprinkled throughout the movie.
Olivia Newton-John Reveals She Is Fighting Cancer For the Third Time
Olivia Newton-John has been diagnosed with cancer for the third time in three decades. In an interview on Australian news broadcast Sunday Night, Olivia revealed that doctors found a tumor at the base of her back in 2017. Since then, she's been using modern medicines and natural remedies, including cannabis oil, to treat the cancer and reduce pain. She's also stopped eating sugar and started radiation treatment.
In the interview, the Australian singer and actress expressed gratitude for having the support of her husband, John Easterling, saying, "A lot of cannabis, my husband grows for me. In California, it's legal to grow a certain amount of plants for your own medicinal purposes. He makes me tinctures . . . and they help with pain, they help with sleep. So, I'm very lucky that I live in a state where it's legal and that I have a husband that is a plant medicine man." She went on to say that John is "always there to support me, and I believe I will win over it and that's my goal."
Olivia sang and danced her way into the spotlight when she starred as the sweet and sassy Sandy Olsen in Grease in 1978. She was first diagnosed with cancer in 1992 and became an advocate for cancer research and breast cancer screenings. She even has a cancer center named after her in Melbourne, Australia: the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness Research Center. After undergoing a partial mastectomy and reconstruction, she was able to beat the cancer. Then in 2013, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, with it spreading to her shoulders. This time around, she remains optimistic. "I'm a very privileged person, and I'm very aware of that," she said in the Sunday Night interview. "I have a wonderful husband, I have all the animals I adore, I have an incredible career. I have nothing really to complain about."
Sierra Burgess May Be a Loser, but Her Mom Is an Iconic Actress
Netflix's Sierra Burgess Is A Loser has a cast jam-packed with recognizable faces. Its leading lady, Shannon Purser, was one of the breakout stars of the streaming platform's Stranger Things, playing fan favorite Barb. The requisite dorky-jock-dreamboat, Jamey, is portrayed by the Internet's current boyfriend, Noah Centineo, aka Peter Kavinsky of To All the Boys I've Loved Before. There's definitely one other member of the cast, though, that you'll recognize instantly: Sierra's mom, played by Lea Thompson.
Thompson has been working in Hollywood since the 1980s, when she made her movie debut in Jaws 3-D. She appeared in a few other '80s films, including the cult classic Red Dawn, until she landed the role she will probably always be associated with: Lorraine Baines McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy. With the help of aging makeup, Thompson portrayed protagonist Marty's (Michael J. Fox) mother as an adult in the "present" and "future" segments, as well as Lorraine's 1950s-era younger self. The film series has entered the pantheon of iconic movies, and Thompson's character has become iconic as well.
Throughout the '80s, Thompson continued appearing in a mixture of camp-fests like Howard the Duck and teen fare like the John Hughes classic Some Kind of Wonderful. By the 1990s, however, she began to shift into the "mom" roles in movies including Dennis the Menace. In The Beverly Hillbillies, she took a sharp about-face from her typically wholesome, sweet roles to be the comedic villain. She also earned popular and critical success on television as the star of NBC's sitcom Caroline in the City in the late '90s.
After a period of smaller roles and reality TV in the early 2000s - including a stint on Dancing With the Stars in 2014 - Thompson returned to the small screen in 2011 with a role that probably comes second only to Lorraine McFly in terms of being career-defining. On ABC Family's (later Freeform) drama series Switched at Birth, she appeared as one of the main characters: Kathryn Kennish, a wealthy suburban mom who discovers that her teenage daughter is not biologically hers, but that there was a mix-up at birth, and her biological daughter has been raised by another family. The series ran for six seasons and earned Thompson plenty of positive reviews.
Thompson's role in Sierra Burgess Is a Loser lines up pretty closely with her other recent projects. She'll next be seen in the modern-day adaptation of Little Women on the big screen, and she has a real-life role as Zoey Deutch's mom! Take a look at some of her iconic roles now!
John Legend's EGOT Is Legendary, but Chrissy Teigen's New Haircut Is Pretty Cool, Too
Chrissy Teigen is always the loudest cheerleader for her husband, John Legend, so when he officially achieved EGOT status at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sept. 9 - the first-ever black man to receive such a win - she was obviously extremely proud. But in the midst of all the celebrations, you might have overlooked one thing: Teigen's big new haircut.
However, one fan was quick to point out her fresh chop. When she posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram, one commented, "Love your hair!!! 😍," and Teigen hilariously replied, "honestly I'm super proud of him but I was also like wow my hair looks great so I posted it." (Keeping it real and relatable, per usual.)
This isn't the first time Teigen's served up hair inspiration recently. During a long vacation with her family in Bali, she gave her fans hair envy with the "headband of the day" series with an insanely catchy theme song by her husband. You better believe we'll be first in line for a headband collaboration. Take a closer look ahead for some shoulder-grazing hair inspiration - it might also convince you to try out that wet look after all.

Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" Handbag Will Have You Sweatin' Till Your Clothes Come Off
Whenever Christina Aguilera steps out, you can be sure that she's going to make a fashion statement. On Sunday, the 37-year-old singer was spotted in New York following her surprise performance at the Opening Ceremony fashion show, which was attended by famous faces like Kelly Rowland, Nicki Minaj, and Whoopi Goldberg.
For her night out in the city, the singer wore an oversize black puffer coat over an all-black ensemble, which she accessorized with rather interesting, open-toe red stilettos and cat-eye sunglasses. The best part of her edgy outfit, however, was her "Dirty" tote bag, which immediately took us back to 2002 and made us want to ring the alarm. Read on to get a closer look at Christina's outfit.

Sierra Burgess Is a Loser: Meet the Hollwood Newcomer Behind Veronica
Netflix has been releasing a bunch of original romantic comedies, including Set It Up and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. The latest project to join its lineup is Sierra Burgess Is a Loser. Sure, we all know Shannon Purser, the actress behind the titular character who also happens to be Stranger Things's beloved Barb. Love or hate the movie, Purser's Sierra is undoubtedly anchored by her co-lead in the film. And nope, we're not talking about dreamy Noah Centineo's Jamey. We mean Veronica, the outspoken cheerleader who befriends Sierra. In exchange for tutoring lessons, Veronica pretends to date Jamey for Sierra, who's really the one texting and calling him.
Veronica is played by Kristine Froseth, a 22-year-old Norwegian actress who's new to both the small and big screens. At age 16, Froseth went to a modeling cast call at a mall in Norway. (She grew up in New Jersey and Norway, and now resides in New York.) After appearing in European fashion magazines (you may have seen her in ads for H&M, Juicy Couture, and Armani), she caught the attention of the director for a movie adaptation of John Green's Looking for Alaska. While the film never came to fruition, Froseth ended up with an acting agent. In 2016, the actress starred in The Weeknd's music video for "False Alarm," which piqued her interest in an earnest acting career.
Besides her project with The Weeknd, Froseth has held a couple of roles in smaller shows, including Eli in a canceled TV adaptation of Let the Right One In, Jess in the teen series Junior, and Nola in the thriller miniseries The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair. She also played a small part in the J.D. Salinger biopic Rebel in the Rye. While she's relatively new in the film world, you're about to see a lot more of Froseth soon. Her upcoming movies include a few thrillers, such as Apostle and Prey.
You can follow the actress's daily musings and upcoming projects on her Instagram account, where she regularly posts pictures of her travel adventures as well as her adorable friendship with Purser!

In Defense of Reading Spoilers Religiously
Spoiler alert: This article will have spoilers for shows and movies that you should have already seen by now, so get over it.
I've never seen Citizen Kane, but I know exactly what "rosebud" means; I knew Bruce Willis was dead the whole time I was watching The Sixth Sense; and I was mentally and emotionally prepared for the Red Wedding long before Catelyn Stark's throat was slit on Game of Thrones. Final confession: I frequently flip to the last page of a book to read the ending. I hate surprises.
I religiously seek out spoilers and have since I was a kid. No, I'm not the jerk who posts things on Facebook and ruins your favorite show for you. I do, however, firmly believe that reading spoilers can enhance our viewing and reading experiences tenfold. Don't believe me? There's a method to my so-called madness.
Have you ever found yourself not able to focus on the details of a TV show, movie, or book because you're too caught up in the bottom line? Have you missed artful subtleties (arguably the best part of it all) because you just had to know if your favorite character was going to live or die - and that's all you could focus on?
Spoiling the plot by no means ruins the beauty of the work, as long as there is beauty beyond the "bottom line."
I don't miss a damn thing. Why? Because I already know the answer to the bigger questions and usually way before all those spoiler-averse fans out there. In knowing the end game by actively seeking out the major plot points, you're able to admire and enjoy the wonderful intricacies of the art with more attention. You can dissect the clues you would have missed if you didn't know to be looking out for them. Sure, you can always go back and rewatch or reread the story, but I'm already two steps ahead of you by then and on to the next spoiler.
More importantly, if you're watching or reading something that's entirely plot-driven, is it worth investing your time in anyway? A truly good work should have layers to it so that even if you strip away one aspect, such as the element of surprise, there's still so much more to be explored. Stories that only focus on plot twists to move the narrative along are rarely worth getting sad about being spoiled on. Spoiling the plot by no means ruins the beauty of the work, as long as there is beauty beyond the "bottom line."
For me, the path characters take to get to those big moments is where the true artistry lies and what I take the most interest in. Reading about those moments doesn't spoil anything for me; it only makes me more excited to see how the person develops in the way that leads them there.
A study by UC San Diego psychology Professor Nicholas Christenfeld supports my claims; it found that spoilers can actually make a story more enjoyable. Christenfeld's research showed that having extra information about artworks can make them "more satisfying," as can the predictability of an experience; for example, the more you go to Disneyland, the more memories you make there and the more you love it. You know what to expect, and you like that.
In Christenfeld's initial experiment, two groups read three short mystery stories. One group was "accidentally" spoiled on the endings, the other was not. "Across all three genres spoilers actually were enhancers," said Christenfeld. When he tried a variation of the experiment, spilling the beans on the story in the middle of it rather than at the beginning, the results were the same. "It turns out even halfway through a story, you enjoy a spoiled story more, before you get to that spoiled ending," he said.
"If you know the ending as you watch it, you can understand what the filmmaker is doing. You get to see this broader view, and essentially understand the story more fluently," Christenfeld explained.
In the episodes leading up to the Red Wedding, the process of picking out all of the clues that led up to the massacre was so much more fun for me than if I had gone in blind to the event.
Reading spoilers didn't detract from the haunting piano music that played as Cersei Lannister's plot to destroy the High Sparrow and all those who've wronged her unfolded at the end of season six in Game of Thrones. Each note still sent chills down my spine even though I knew what was coming. Watching her savor her victory while her son threw himself out the window was no less jarring. The anticipation of all that I knew was on the way and the expectation for how it would play out only made the story that much more satisfying to see. And if Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are actually going to get married, I'm going to need to know way beforehand so I can collect myself and find a sturdy seat (and some smelling salts) before it all goes down.

I Was a 9-Year-Old New Yorker on 9/11, and It Changed Me Forever
As a native New Yorker, my experience on 9/11 was both similar to - and unique from - the 9/11 all Americans experienced. I was a third-grader at school in Manhattan when the principal tapped on the door and motioned for my teacher, Ms. Delgado, to step outside. When Ms. Delgado came back, she looked pale. Her voice kept going in and out as she told us the school was calling our parents and we were all going home.
The rest of my classmates and I were excited to go back home, but I could tell something was up based on how my teacher was acting. It was 8:45 a.m. and we had just started the school day. My mom's assistant came to pick me up and when I got home, I found my mom watching TV, holding her chest with her eyes wide open. I ran over and asked her what was going on, but she didn't say a word. She just pointed at the screen.
My dad volunteered to help with the clean-up efforts for a few days. He would come home exhausted, covered in grayish dust, but never spoke a word about his experience.
I saw "Avión Estrella Torres Gemelas" in big white letters: "Plane Hits Twin Towers" in English. At this point, only the North Tower had been hit. Just a few short minutes later, as we sat in front of the TV, we watched the second plane hit the South Tower. I immediately felt a wave of sadness and anger. My mom grabbed my hand and held it so tight. I started thinking about how many people were going to die because they wouldn't have enough time to escape, all the people on the plane who wouldn't see their loved ones again.
After the second tower fell, my mom called my dad. He was working as a building superintendent on the Upper West Side, so she just wanted to make sure he was OK. She called and called but wasn't able to get a hold of him. I remember my little brother and I waiting by the door that day until he walked in. My dad made it home eventually, having biked five miles after the trains stopped running. As soon as we saw him, my brother and I ran into his arms and started crying because we were so relieved to see him. My mom ran over to him too, they kissed, and we all just embraced each other in a big hug.
The rest of the day was a blur. We watched the news for more details and found out it was a terrorist attack, how four planes had been hijacked, how high the death toll was. The city completely shut down while we watched the TV in horror. My mom made me stay home from school for the rest of the week because she felt it wasn't safe. I was so glad - I was terrified to go outside. I kept thinking about what else could happen. Were there plans to attack other parts of NYC? But my fear started to dissolve in the days that followed, as Americans showed the world just how united we could be. People came together to mourn those we lost but also to help in any possible way we could. My dad volunteered to help with the clean-up efforts for a few days before returning to work. He would come home exhausted, covered in grayish dust, but never spoke a word about his experience. To this day, he doesn't talk about it.

Being in the city on a day that no one will ever forget changed my life. At just 9-years-old, I learned I had to be more vigilant and mindful of my surroundings. The words "See something, say something" are always in the back of my mind now. For the first few weeks after 9/11, our lessons at school became about learning what terrorists and terror attacks were. My mom or my dad picked my brother and I up from school every day. They wanted to make sure we felt safe at all times.
A few years later, I remembering walking to my new middle school when a kid from the school across the street walked up to me and said "I'm going to bomb your school today." My first instinct was to run to my school, tell the security guards what had just happened, and call my mom. School officials got involved, asked me for a description of the kid and tracked him down. I found out later he was suspended from school because of what he said. After 9/11, I became more fearful and wary of everyone around me. I just didn't know who could be the next terrorist. But I also found an inner strength that is still strong within me today.
Ten years later, when the 9/11 Memorial opened in the Financial District, I avoided the place at all costs.
Ten years later, when the 9/11 Memorial opened in the Financial District, I avoided the place at all costs. It just didn't feel right to visit the epicenter of such a horrific event. It wasn't until a friend from college was visiting NYC for the first time and begged me to take her that I went. I felt so much anxiety walking through security knowing I was getting closer to the pools with all the names of those who died. The memorial features a slew of swamp white oak trees with two square reflecting pools in the center, where the Twin Towers once stood. The pools are surrounded with the names of people that died that dreadful day. The minute my friend and I got to them, I started crying.
I didn't lose anyone in the attack that day, thank God, but as someone who was born and bred in Manhattan, I felt like it was an attack on me, too. I haven't gone back to the memorial since the day I visited the museum. Going there just made me think about 9-year-old me watching the towers fall on TV, not being able to get in touch with my dad, and feeling so helpless. It's a memory I liked to keep buried deep down - but it's also a reminder of how strong I am and how important it is to still have faith in humanity.
What I've Learned From My Own Experience Dating While Disabled
Every day millions of people all over the world are being diagnosed with an incurable illness. As the population grows and more illnesses are being discovered, those afflicted may wonder what that means for their dating life. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder affecting my collagen. Collagen is the glue that keeps your body together. I can dislocate every joint in my body because of the lack of collagen in my body. Newly diagnosed in 2008, no one could tell me what this illness meant for me long term. Since they didn't have the answer for that, then they certainly didn't have the answers for what my dating and relationship worlds would look like post diagnosis.
At 25, being diagnosed with an illness that has no cure isn't an easy pill to swallow. But I was determined to still be able to live my life to the best of my abilities. Of course, this didn't happen right away. A lot of soul searching and unfortunately, a lot of alcohol consumption happened during those first few years of my diagnosis. I can't even tell you what my Summer of 2010 looked like. It definitely was a whirlwind blur of dancing, clubs, and alcohol. But with anything, if you do it too much, things get old. So in 2011, I set upon documenting my dating life as a disabled person.
Telling any potential new partners you are disabled or have an illness, but you look completely healthy, isn't easy. Most, if not all, assume I am exaggerating about my illness and its symptoms. Ehlers Danlos syndrome, being a newly diagnosable illness, didn't have a lot of research to back up what I was saying that my body was doing to itself. Some guys I dated thought I was lying, but, hey, scars don't lie. I have had 59 surgeries, I have 12 more pending that I have put off so I can try to live a life without seeing an operating room every few months. Dating over the years has been interesting to say the least. You never know how someone is going to react when things get really real. I've had many surgeries where the guy I was seeing, who supposedly loved me, was MIA. Most of the time, I prefer to do things alone, but I wouldn't have minded one of those guys I dated to be there for the after.
There is no training manual for dating with an illness or disability. Self-help books claim to help you through the dating process, but none of them will be based exactly on you personally. You can take certain tips and mold them to apply to your situation, which can be helpful. Since there aren't many books on dating with an illness, I set upon writing one myself, Dating While Disabled. I know this book won't help everyone out there with an illness, but I am hoping it can be a guide on the good things I have done in my dating life and things you shouldn't do.
If you are single when you are first diagnosed, I highly recommend you take some time for yourself. Learning about your illness needs to be a priority, a bigger priority than dating. You have to learn to accept that this is your life now. And that will take time. It took me four years to accept my illness and learn to embrace EDS and all it has done for me and against me. Learning to accept your illness isn't something that happens overnight. There will be tears, frustration, and depression. But you will get past that period in your life and then it will pop back up in the most inconvenient time.
Dealing with your illness will be a lifelong love-and-hate journey. But I beseech you to look past the negatives of your illness and the side effects that can cripple you. If you do not learn to accept that you have this illness, no one else will be able to see past it either. I've learned over the years that if I continue the poor-me mantra, everyone else around me will only see my illness and the other parts of myself that the illness has nothing to do with, will no longer be there for them to see. I call this TMI, Too Much Illness. If you're having a bad day, absolutely vent and do what you need to get through the day. But if you are seeing more bad days than good, it's time to re-evaluate your thought processes. I used to be consumed by EDS and what it was doing and some days even when my symptoms weren't that bad, I still only focused on it. Which caused my brain to think about the pain, which of course then amplifies the pain you are in. Making it much worse than it actually is.
Now that I am 10 years post-diagnosis, I still have bad days, but they aren't as consuming as they were before. I've learned to accept that some days I want nothing to do with the world. And on the days I do want to be involved, I make sure I am completely present in the moment. Sometimes, you have to just be present. Thinking about all you've been through in the past on a daily basis will not help your state of mind. You literally make yourself stuck in the past and constantly wondering what your future may look like because of your past struggles. By doing this, you are allowing yourself to forget what you can do for yourself today, whether that's dating or just living your best life.
The 1 Simple Thing My Husband Does to Show Me He Cares Every Day
Marriage is hard. For many of us, when we're engaged, we picture marriage to be blissful and peaceful. But after you become newlyweds, you quickly discover that marriage can be strenuous. You learn that your husband ticks you off because he can't seem to land his dirty laundry in the hamper. My husband and I are no different. We just celebrated our 10-year anniversary, and while I'd love to report that it's been smooth sailing, that would be a mammoth lie. Yes, we've endured a lot this past decade: cancer-stricken parents, job loss, and adding two children to the mix. But the one thing that has kept us strong is how we show the other person that we care, that they're appreciated every single day - no matter what.
The one thing that has kept us strong is how we show the other person that we care, that they're appreciated every single day - no matter what.
Believe it or not, the one thing that my husband does for me that means the most is simply making the coffee every morning. Regardless of what's going on in our lives, it's he who always takes the time to make that glorious caffeine brew. And while he drinks a little of it in the morning, too, he does it for me to show me that he cares.
Yes, making the coffee is a simple task. You pour the water, dump the coffee grounds, and press the "on" button. Voilà. In minutes, you have caffeine ready to circulate through your veins to help wake you up. But because I am a stay-at-home and work-from-home mother, my husband understands that this coffee is vital for me before the rowdy children wake up and wreak havoc on our home. He knows that I relish in my solitude during the early hours of the morning to kick-start my day. And he understands that I need that warm mug between my hands while I'm nuzzled on the couch to really help ground myself for all that the day will bring.

Between settling sibling fights and writing articles, juggling the day's responsibilities can be tough. My husband leaves home to go to his office every morning. So, while he doesn't really get the pressure of working from home with little terrors trying to rule the home, he does appreciate what I do inside of it. He gets that working from home with the kids also means scrubbing toilets, making three meals, and cleaning . . . all day long. My husband and I do our best to thank each other for the different roles that we take on within our family. No one is better than the other. No job is more difficult. And we appreciate it all.

No, our marriage is not perfect. We argue weekly about both the big and small things, from not refilling the Brita before it goes back into the fridge to not understanding my feelings on a heated subject. But when I wake up the next morning after an altercation and see that the coffee is made, my heart softens. Yes, the one thing my husband and I always try to do is show each other that we care. Because if we stop showing each other that we appreciate each other, what will we have left? So, while making me coffee each and every morning is a small task, I sure hope that my husband continues to do it when our skin is wrinkled and the hair on our heads turns white. Because not only does it revitalize my day, but our marriage, too.

The EGOT: 26 Stars Who Are Almost There
With award season coming up, more celebrities are one step closer to joining Hollywood's most prestigious club. The EGOT - an acronym for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony - is Hollywood's grand slam of awards, and only a handful of celebrities (like Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, and Mel Brooks) have made the list. John Legend just took home an Emmy, making him the latest star to receive the honor. Veteran actress Jessica Lange only needs a Grammy, while stars like Taylor Swift, Adele, and Sam Smith are halfway there. Wondering who else is making progress?
Penn Badgley Didn't Initially Want to Star in Lifetime's You - Here's What Changed His Mind
Penn Badgley may be known as Dan Humphrey to many, but pretty soon, fans will see him in a completely different light. Nearly six years after wrapping his hit series, Gossip Girl, the actor is returning to TV with Lifetime's thriller You (based on Caroline Kepnes's 2014 novel of the same name). While the series has already gained attention for its similarities to the hit CW show, be warned that his character, Joe (a bookstore employee who uses social media to stalk a girl he becomes infatuated with), is a far cry from Lonely Boy. In fact, Badgley almost turned down the role because of the character's dark nature.
During You's premiere event in NYC, the actor told POPSUGAR that he was repulsed by the character when he first read the book. "I was compelled by the project but ultimately turned off by Joe himself," he explained. "Because I don't get to play anybody else, I don't get to do anything else in the show, but be Joe. And I really didn't like him." Even when he got the role, he wasn't too concerned with bringing the book version of Joe to life for one simple reason: "He scared me."
So, what ultimately changed Badgley's mind about playing Joe? The show's producers, Sera Gamble (The Magicians) and Greg Berlanti (Riverdale). "It was my conversations with them that really allowed me to see into what we were doing," he said. "And then it continued to be an exercise and trusting Sera and the others, a lot of the women - the directors, the writers, the producers - because I was like, 'Why are we letting him do this?' Ultimately, it was a really enriching experience for me, personally. I hope some of that is in some way part of the viewer's experience."
While the show is super relevant with the use of social media and themes of privacy, it also feels incredibly timely with the Me Too movement, something Badgley is definitely aware of. "It's funny because now that we're here, I wouldn't want this show to come out at another time," he said. "I wouldn't want people to not be willing to have this kind of conversation around it, because then I think it would be really toxic and desensitizing. Now it seems people are thinking and saying all the right things, so I'm down for it. Like even right now, I'm mostly interacting with women when it comes to this show. Like my publicist, my agent, my wife [Domino Kirke], the writers of the show, the creators of the show, the directors, the producers, the cast members, and everybody seems to be really encouraging and supportive of this project."
You premieres on Lifetime on Sept. 9.

Gigi Hadid's Clear Handbag Only Has a Champagne Bottle in It, and We're SHOOK
Gigi Hadid has been one busy girl during New York Fashion Week. After walking countless runways for designers like Prabal Gurung and Ralph Lauren, the model was seen at the Business of Fashion 500 gala. For the event, Gigi walked the red carpet in an ethereal yellow dress from Brandon Maxwell's SS '19 collection. (Gigi actually just walked in the designer's runway show with her sister Bella.)
While Gigi's canary yellow dress was eye-catching, to say the least, it was what she was carrying that stole the show. She finished her look off with a clear handbag, also from Brandon Maxwell's collection, that had a bottle of champagne in it and nothing else. The designer sent models down the runway carrying the same style as well. Read on to get a closer glimpse and Gigi's interesting bag and shop similar versions at the bottom if you want to give the trend a try too.
All 13 Hollywood Stars Who Have an EGOT
Few clubs in Hollywood are as exclusive as that reserved for EGOT winners. The acronym refers to winning the grand slam of all four major entertainment awards in a competitive category of the Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys. That means the immensely talented individual will have displayed excellence in television, recording, film, and theater - clearly picking up an EGOT isn't an everyday occurrence.
While it took some winners their entire careers to nail all four corners of the entertainment industry, some (like musician John Legend) were able to knock out an EGOT before they turned 40.

What I'm about to tell you is no secret: lifting weights will help you decrease your fat mass and increase your lean muscle mass. There are many ways to build muscle, and the consensus is that lifting weights and incorporating compound exercises - moves that work multiple muscle groups at once - into your routine is the way to go.
As a trainer, I completely agree with this method, and I wanted to share some of my favorite dumbbell exercises with you. Some are specific to muscle groups, like the triceps extension, and others are compound exercises, like the 3-in-1 squat, curl, and press.
This is is not a workout - you can find a a bunch of them here. Instead, let these exercises inspire your next workout. Select three to five moves and add them into an existing program, or create a new workout with these moves.
