WHOA: There's a Reason the High School From Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Looks So Familiar

If you've been watching Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix, chances are you've picked up on a lot of cool and creepy details. Like that very subtle Riverdale cameo, or the addictive (and very well-thought-out) soundtrack. But if you're like me, a fellow Netflix junkie who is also obsessed with To All the Boys I've Loved Before, another thing you probably noticed not too far into episode one is how familiar Sabrina's school, Baxter High, looks. While Greendale's version is obviously a lot darker with gray, green, and maroon tones (much like Sabrina's killer wardrobe), the halls seem eerily similar to Adler High School, the one attended by Lara Jean Covey and Peter Kavinsky in TATBILB.

While there doesn't seem to be any confirmation that Sabrina and TATBILB were filmed at the same school, there are clues. Many scenes for both were shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, which means it's pretty likely they could have used the same school for hallway scenes (Sabrina used Lord Strathcona Elementary School in Vancouver for exterior shots). Another very telling clue is that some of TATBILB's high school scenes were shot at Point Grey Secondary School, which has also been used in Riverdale, the show that shares a universe with Sabrina.

Maybe TATBILB also shares a universe with Sabrina and Riverdale and we just don't know it yet because of some spell cast by b*tchy Aunt Zelda? Or maybe Lara Jean wrote a sixth love letter to Ambrose, because, let's face it, that warlock is hot? OK, fine - while we know these two Netflix hits are in no way connected, we can still eat up the fact that their characters probably walked the same halls. To see more of the schools' similarities, keep reading.

CoverGirl Has Some HUGE News That Will Make Animal-Lovers Very Happy

Approachable packaging, a fun color selection, affordable prices: there are plenty of reasons CoverGirl was probably one of the first brands you fell in love with. Now, as an adult, you can continue to adore its makeup responsibly, because the company just earned a Leaping Bunny seal from Cruelty Free International.

The announcement symbolizes the brand's commitment to ethical testing and means that no CoverGirl products or ingredients have been tested on animals by the brand or its suppliers. It's the largest cosmetics company to receive this certification so far, according to data reported by market research firm Nielsen. CMO of Coty Consumer Beauty Ukonwa Ojo feels that this move is aligned with CoverGirl's new brand vision. "When we unveiled the brand reinvention, I Am What I Make Up, nearly one year ago today, we also unveiled a new chapter in CoverGirl's history; one whose pages are written in ethical beauty choices which are accessible and affordable for all," Ojo explained.

CoverGirl has become even more inclusive in recent years, using a male CoverBoy, athletes, and more to represent its diverse customers. We're thrilled to see that now animal-lovers can indulge in CoverGirl completely guilt-free.

This Dessert-Inspired Body-Care Line Doubles Down on Salted Caramel

The early 2000s were a simpler time, when we watched Jessica Simpson figure out if tuna was chicken or fish. In addition to her Newlyweds shenanigans alongside Nick Lachey, the stunning blonde had a cosmetics line at Sephora called Dessert Beauty. Each scent was sugary, sweet, and over the top, and we've been grieving the loss of the brand until now.

Body-care brand Being by Sanctuary Spa has spunky, fun packaging and the same sugary-sweet scents Simpson's line was famous for. One product in particular, the Salted Caramel & Macadamia Bath Bomb, smells exactly like our preteen favorite. The scent can be found in a ton of different products from the company, all available at Ulta. Check them all out ahead.

Below are the prettiest beauty ornaments of 2018. Sneak one of these onto the tree to delight your beauty-loving friends.

Julia Roberts Talks About Her 1999 Red Carpet Armpit Hair: "The Picture Is Vivid in My Mind"

Some things stick with us forever, and for Julia Roberts, it was a 1999 red carpet moment. On Sunday night, the actress sat down with Busy Philipps for her new late-night TV show, Busy Tonight, where the host raved about Roberts's new Amazon Prime show, Homecoming, and how she's been a longtime JR fan. Philipps wasted no time before asking the actress about the 1999 London premiere of Notting Hill, where Roberts stunned in a red sequined dress and flashed unshaven armpit hair while waving during an interview.

Well, Roberts is now revealing that it wasn't a feminist declaration but simply an accident. "I think I just hadn't really calculated my sleeve length and the waving, and how those two things would go together and reveal personal things about me," she said in the video, adding that the red carpet photo "is vivid in my mind."

"It wasn't so much a 'statement,' as it's just part of the statement I make as a human on the planet." More recently, celebrities like Paris Jackson, Lady Gaga, and Bella Thorne have ditched their razors in the name of feminism. Last year, a study conducted among 2,000 millennial women found that 87 percent agreed there's "too much pressure on women to remove or groom body hair." Watch Roberts's interview with Philipps ahead, and see photos of the red carpet moment.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Got Couples' Tattoos, but They're Pretty Tough to Spot

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin secretly made their bond permanent before they ever tied the knot. Celebrity tattoo artist BangBang, aka Keith McCurdy, told Page Six TV he gave the now-married couple some ink that has stayed pretty under the radar.

"They each got a tattoo," revealed McCurdy. "Justin's tattoo is on his face, and I haven't seen any photos of it - so he's doing a good job of laying low."

Seems like a face tattoo would be pretty hard to miss, but McCurdy clarifies the ink, located around Bieber's eyebrow, is "really thin and delicate." Fans speculate that a July photo of Bieber may give a glimpse of the tattoo, which appears to be the word "grace."

While McCurdy revealed a few details about Bieber's ink, he stayed quiet about Baldwin's addition to her collection of 19 tiny tattoos. He simply said the pair didn't opt for "a traditional couples' tattoo." With vague details like that, there's really only one question left for McCurdy: what do you mean?

If You're Obsessed With Foiled Eye Shadow, This Palette Will Blow Your Mind

My jaw nearly dropped to the floor the first time I saw the stunning metallic hues in Jouer's Making Magic Ulta Foil Eye Shadow Palette Gift Set ($52). It contains 12 richly pigmented foiled shadows that shine like tinsel and go on full of pigment in just one swipe.

Each color is as eye-catching as the next, and the high-shine finish makes them ideal for every party you go to this holiday season. You can apply them with an eye shadow brush, but I've found that it's easiest to apply the product with my fingers.

See swatches and photos of the palette (available Nov. 1) ahead.

I Wore Nothing but Huda Beauty's New Concealer to See How Much It Covers

After Huda Beauty's foundation was able to completely cover my hives during an epic allergic reaction last year, I was eager to try the brand's new concealer. The Overachiever High Coverage Concealer ($30) comes in 20 shades and contains 31 percent pigment, meaning it's very opaque. It's also fortified with green tea to erase signs of stress and aging and includes a cooling metal tip. Huda Beauty created the concealer to be multitasking, so you can hide acne, hyperpigmentation, under-eye circles, and redness with just one product.

Even when just running to Starbucks, I normally like to wear a medium- to full-coverage foundation to feel my best. However, I decided to skip foundation altogether to test out this new launch. If the brand could be trusted to cover hives, I was confident the concealer would be enough to cover my zits and under-eye circles. After using a Beautyblender ($20) to dot and blend the product under my eyes, on my chin, around my nose, and anywhere else I encountered discoloration, I was surprisingly happy with the results. While I felt the need to add a little bit of salmon-colored corrector under my eyes to get rid of the blue tone of my under-eye circles, my face looked pretty good.

I would highly suggest you try out the formula, especially if you prefer to go without foundation, because this concealer really will do the complexion-perfecting job well.

I Tried the Water Bottle Hair Curling Hack, and I Won't Say Goodbye to My Curlers

via GIPHY

If you're familiar with the Instagram explore page and know your way around popular beauty accounts, you've probably come across the water bottle hair curling hack that's currently sweeping the internet. It appears the hack started in Asia, then found its way onto popular accounts such as @hotonbeauty. Even @hudabeauty did her own version, saying it curled her hair in less than one minute. So of course, we had to try it out for ourselves. Who doesn't want curled hair in one minute?

The technique

The aim of the hack is to trap the hair inside a water bottle, blowing in hot air and causing the hair to create a whirlpool type effect, creating quick and easy curls. To make the water bottle tool, cut out a hole in the side of the bottle big enough for a hair-dyer nozzle to fit through, then cut off the top of the water bottle, and voila, you're set. To begin the hack, place the hair into the top of the bottle, secure the nozzle inside the hole, and on a low heat and power setting, blast the hair for a few seconds. After releasing the hair, it should create a ringlet curl. Top tip: angling the nozzle upward slightly is key to getting the hair to whiz around the bottle rather than shooting straight out the top.

The outcome

It took me a fair few goes until I got the hang of things, but once I figured out the setting and technique (and called in a little help), it actually did work. However, the resulting curl wasn't particularly great. It definitely gave tight, ringlet-type curls on the very ends, but it knotted my hair a little since I have such long hair and also made it look a little dry (although that's probably just my cue for a trim). In my opinion, if you want an easy wave, you're better off spending the extra few minutes with your curling iron, but if you're looking for a little DIY fun, the hack definitely gives some twist to the hair.

I'm Hopelessly Devoted to This New Winky Lux Palette - It Works For Both Day and Night

You could call me a palette aficionado - I'm obsessed with trying the newest releases year-round. That's why I was thrilled to check out the exclusive Winky Lux Sugar Palette. POPSUGAR collaborated with the brand to create a special release made just for our Must Have Winter subscription box - you can't get it anywhere else! I tested it out myself and was truly impressed. See the swatches for yourself.

As soon as I swatched them on my arm, I was impressed with the tremendous color payoff. There are metallic, satin, matte, and glitter shades. I wore the shadows all day, and they stayed on perfectly. They are also very blendable, so applying them is effortless. I didn't even have to touch up my eyes when I went out to dinner that night.

I wore the shadows all day, and they stayed on perfectly. They are also very blendable, so applying them is effortless.

What makes this palette so special is that you can create a variety of looks. Use the neutral shades for a bronzed glow, wet an angle brush and use Sprinkles for a pop of lavender, or try the dark shades for an evening smoky eye.

Besides being effective, the sparkly pink case this palette comes in is downright dazzling. It's the type of product I'll proudly display on my vanity all season long. Plus, the convenient package makes it easy to carry with you while traveling.

The Makeup Sponge That Gave Me Instagram-Filtered Skin

I never thought I'd describe a makeup sponge as "pretty," but with the luxurious, velvet-like surface and powder-blue hue of the Juno & Co.'s Microfiber Velvet Sponge ($6), that was the first word that came to mind. The thought was followed with phrases like "Cool!" and "Does this even work?" To answer the latter: yes. It uses a microfiber surface and something called hydrophilic polyurethane (a fancy way of saying water-loving foam) to create an even complexion that looks as soft as the Juno feels. Just like velvet, its blue hue appears darker or lighter depending on how you look at it.

I decided to test it after a weeklong, stress-induced breakout. I didn't have many, but the few acne scars I was left with were very new and deeply pigmented. I dabbed on the same concealer that I use every day (Kylie Cosmetics Concealer) before tapping with my water-soaked sponge. The first thing I noticed was how soft and gentle it was on some of the sensitive spots on my face. "Its microfiber design makes it less abrasive on the face. It's made for sensitive skin," celebrity makeup artist Stephanie Flor said.

Then I noticed its seamless application - it was never streaky, and with just a few taps and short, small sweeps, I had a smooth complexion. It was also amazing that my most darkened, textured scars were hidden with just one layer of concealer I'd smoothed out with this sponge (typically, I use a few layers of the same concealer to hide a newer scar). My skin looked like I had just put on that "pretty filter" on Instagram - even in tone and texture. It was amazing, considering the tired-looking canvas I was working with.

Juno & Co.'s Microfiber Velvet Sponge is available now on the brand's website and here to bring your makeup dreams to life. No filter necessary.

Apparently, Claire Foy's Dragon Tattoo Took "Hundreds" of Tries to Get Right

The last time we saw antihero Lisbeth Salander on the big screen, it was the heavily pierced Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Her look was haunting - blame the bleached eyebrows and jet-black baby bangs - but it is not what you'll see from Claire Foy in the series' second film, The Girl in the Spider's Web. Which, perhaps, is precisely the point.

"She is still the same dark character, but you don't want to make an exact copy of the original so many years later," Heike Merker, the movie's hair and makeup department lead, told POPSUGAR. "We wanted to be totally different. Her look went through many stages. We experimented a lot with Photoshop, taking a picture of her and photoshopping her face and her hair in different looks."

"We experimented a lot with Photoshop, taking a picture of her and photoshopping her face and her hair in different looks."

Among the rejects before landing on a mushroom cut: a tattooed scalp, buzz cut, long hair, short hair, and even locs, "which, of course, was not working at all," Merker laughed. "Then after all those tests, we decided to just keep it simple. Claire is an amazing actress, so we felt we didn't need it to be so extreme for the queen of darkness to come through."

Choosing the right haircut for the film, however, was hardly the most nuanced aspect of Foy's radical transformation. Let us explain, ahead.

God Might Be a Woman, but Ariana Grande DOES Get Ponytail Pain

If you've ever taken a moment to look closely at Ariana Grande's ponytail, no doubt you think it looks perfectly snatched, but also that it looks really really painful.

It might be her signature look, but she recently took a brief break for Elle's July cover and wore her hair long and luscious. However, she soon went back to her beloved pony. If you've tried out the supersnatched style yourself, you'll know that it doesn't come without its challenges. But the 25-year-old singer has never spoken about her uncomfortable hairstyle, until Camila Cabello asked the question many of us have been wondering: is it painful?

Cabello tweeted Grande saying, "I just did a high ponytail for the first time and it is literally pulling on my BRAIN ITS SO PAINFUL HOW DO YOU DO IT". Ariana replied, "well u actually have hair so that prolly makes it a lil more painful ..... nah jk i'm in constant pain always and don't care at all." So there you have it. Ariana Grande is not immune to the pony pain, which just gives us further proof that God is a woman: who else could wear painful ponytails and still get sh*t done? Read on to see some of Grande's best ponytails.

Voting Is "the Bare F*cking Minimum," and More Wisdom From Feminasty Author Erin Gibson

Image Source: Amelia Beamish

Erin Gibson is a f*cking badass who knows what the f*ck she's talking about. And I'm only using this many expletives because I know it's what she would want. (Even in a trimmed-down version of our hour-long interview over lunch, she says "f*ck" a good 17 times.) Gibson has been hosting the podcast Throwing Shade with her partner in crime Bryan Safi for more than five years now. On the show, she talks about women's issues on a local, national, and global scale. This year, she wrote Feminasty: The Complicated Woman's Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death. It's a handbook of sorts, a primer that really lets you know what the state of affairs is in 2018.

With the book came a book tour, and with the book tour came a lot of screaming. "We did a show in Seattle," Gibson tells me at a cute West Hollywood coffee shop in late October. "It was the day of the [Kavanaugh] proceedings, when Dr. Ford testified. And I just had the whole audience scream. And we've been doing it at every book event. It's been really good."

I meet with Erin to, of course, talk about her new book, as well as her years on the front lines as a brazen feminist who has stopped giving a f*ck and started taking action. But with the midterm elections looming, front of mind, I'm also hoping to get her take on those. Will this just be a repeat of the 2016 election? How can we ensure that things will be different? Though Gibson didn't give me a cut-and-dried list for surviving the elections, she did say plenty of things that blew my face off, in the best way. The whole interview is worth reading, just for her razor-sharp wit and thoughtful perspective alone. Before we kick off, I want to share my own biggest takeaways from our chat.

  1. If you don't know how to vote on things, you find someone who's smarter than you and you f*cking cheat.
  2. Start talking to your stupid cousin who's 18 and doesn't think voting is cool, but maybe could be convinced.
  3. Start doing the f*cking work. You need to f*cking do something.
  4. Voting is the bare minimum. That's the bare f*cking minimum.
  5. Figuring sh*t out is not as overwhelming as learning how to figure out your new iPhone.
  6. Check out, so you can check in.

POPSUGAR: How did you get so passionate about politics in the first place? Was there ever a point where you were apathetic as a voter?

Erin Gibson: So, feminism specifically took me a really long time, because I used to be one of the people who was like, "I'm only friends with guys," and didn't really care about my female friendships. I had female friendships, but if there was a guy involved, that always took precedent, always. And it took me until after college, really, when my friend, who is just a bad-ass literary guru, started to see an in with me. We were in an improv troupe together, called Haley's Comic, in Houston.

And she just gave me Susan Faludi's Backlash, and I read it in like a day or two. I read it in the gym, and I remember there was a transition . . . guy would come up and go, "What are you reading?" And by the way, the cover is just the title. Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women. I was like, "I'm reading a book about feminism." And then they're like, "Oh, what about them?" And I would be like, "I'm exercising."

PS: Like, please, leave me alone.

EG: Right, I don't give a f*ck what you want right now. And that was the first time I felt permission to tell someone to f*cking leave me alone at the gym.

PS: So, you've written this incredible book, Feminasty, about the state of feminism in America. What did you set out to do with it?

EG: I wrote this book for an 18-year-old version of me who didn't really understand all the ways that she was being marginalized and all the things that were happening to her. She was just really mad. I was really mad. I was a crazy alcoholic. I was also addicted to diet pills. I was really sick and I was a smoker. I was really internalizing all of my shit. I don't want a woman to go through that. So this has been a manuscript or a rulebook for someone who doesn't have anybody looking out for her, and that's me. I didn't really have someone to say like, "Oh, well, this is f*cked up because this person did it, not because you're wrong."

PS: And I mean, you've been doing this a long time. Not necessarily on the front lines, battling the patriarchy, but you've had your podcast with Bryan Safi, Throwing Shade. What's that journey been like?

EG: Well, let me just say this: When Obama was in power, I still talked about the same stuff. It's just gotten worse.

PS: And, I mean, at least you have Bryan to lean on when things feel really grim, right?

EG: I mean, we've definitely developed into a brother-sister relationship, and not in a toxic way, but in a very healing way. We have twin language now. We see each other so much.

PS: Do you ever get the sense that you're just liberals preaching to liberals? And that we're kind of in this bubble in LA, and we don't really have a grip?

EG: Yeah, but here's the thing. I have friends who are constantly complaining about stuff, and I'm like, "What the f*ck are you doing about it? You have a flexible schedule, and you're your own boss. So why aren't you down on f*cking Skid Row volunteering? Why aren't you working at a soup kitchen, you idiot?" I get mad. And that's what we need to do here, is to really put the mirror on one another and be like, "Well, you need to f*cking do something." And maybe that means you pick up the phone and you reconnect with your dumb family you ran away from. You start talking to people. And you start talking to your stupid cousin who's 18 and doesn't think voting is cool, but maybe could be convinced. Start doing the f*cking work.

"I have friends who are constantly complaining about stuff, and I'm like, "What the f*ck are you doing about it?"

Anyway, all that to say, yes, we're in a bubble. We have to constantly be calling each other out on stuff. We have to constantly be holding everybody up to a higher standard . . . and I don't necessarily agree with reaching across the aisle, but if you have someone who's on the fence . . . For example, one of my husband's family members was just here, and she didn't really consider herself a feminist. And she gave me all the reasons why. And then I had a weird conversation with her about what it means to be a feminist. I was like, "Well, it's quite simply just advocating for the equal rights of women. If you've met someone who is a c*nt, who says she's a feminist and she was mean to you, she doesn't represent all feminists. And I'm really sorry that happened."

PS: That's such a great point too because I think that's why a lot of people in liberal areas in particular don't care, because they're like, "It's blue."

EG: That's how we got in the situation, people being like, "We're done."

PS: "We fixed it."

EG: I get it. It's really upsetting to open your eyes and see how trans women are treated in this country, how black women are treated in this country, and how Hispanic women are treated in this country. It's a dump truck of sad, sad facts and people living a very sad existence. That will not help them by everyone just putting on blinders and saying, "Well, my little liberal life is OK. I'm doing what I can. I'm talking a big game. I'm voting." That's bare minimum. That's the bare f*cking minimum.

PS: I think that a lot of people vote and think their job's done.

EG: No way. I have friends who don't know how to vote on props. This is the thing I also say to people: If you don't know how to vote on things, you find someone who's smarter than you and you f*cking cheat. If you don't want to learn about all the props, great. Go f*cking find someone who's in policy or go read the LA Times.

PS: OK, so, you briefly touched on reaching across the aisle. Can we ever change them?

EG: They have to die [laugh]. Oprah said it first. I don't want any credit for that sentiment.

PS: So, how can we really start to untangle?

EG: It has to be someone good in charge who's going to just do the right thing and not be afraid of being the villain.

PS: So, you think there's a way to fix these systems. We don't have to burn it down and start from scratch?

EG: I don't think we have to burn it down. Here's what I think needs to happen. It has to happen on a state-by-state level because it's not going to happen on a federal level . . . November 6th is so important locally because we need to get our shit together locally.

PS: What do you say to your friend who isn't voting?

EG: Well, all my friends vote. But to my cousin in Florida who doesn't vote, this is what I say to them . . . I'll figure out something they care about and then I'll go, "Well, this is why you should vote." And they'll be like, "Well, it's overwhelming." And I'll go, "It's not as overwhelming as learning how to figure out your new iPhone." And like, "How cool will it be if you voted someone into power who did everything right, and you didn't have to worry anymore?"

PS: What do you do when you suspect your friend isn't voting?

EG: I mean, if it's someone I know, I straight up scream at them. I'm going to start doing a hard line about, "We're not friends anymore."

PS: You really put it well before when you were just like, "Get to f*cking work." Like, "Do the f*cking thing."

"I get it. It's overwhelming. But here, let me say this. I consume a fire hydrant amount of sadness every day."

EG: It's hard, but guess what else is hard? Going to f*cking Spin class. There are so many hard things that people just accept as that's just what they are willing to put their time into. Some people are willing to put the time in . . . show them how it's going to hurt you, their friend. And if they truly care about you, then they'll have your back.

PS: OK. So, there are some people like you who get angry. They take action. They put their feet forward, and they put their money where their mouth is. What would you say to the people who panic and isolate and feel overwhelmed by everything that's happening right now?

EG: First of all, that reaction is normal for anybody. It's really just what's the thing you do after that. You got to pull yourself out of it. Are you going to let your monkey brain make you shut down and crawl under your bed and watch Chef's Table season three all over again? Or are you going to pour yourself a glass of wine, go on the internet, and start reading stuff? Whatever you need to do to make it enjoyable. Do it in the bathtub. Listen to a podcast. The Daily's a great federal news source.

But make it enjoyable and just set aside time. It's like anything. You have to learn a new skill, right? Everybody's anxious when they have to learn a new skill. So do a little bit at a time. You don't have to do it all at once, but just start diving in, especially people who are like, "I don't really pay attention to the news." That is scary to me. That is a scary proposition and I get it. It's overwhelming. But here, let me say this. I consume a fire hydrant amount of sadness every day.

PS: How do you stay upright, then?

EG: I work out in the morning. I make really good food for myself. I don't go out to eat, but I cook and that's meditative. I make a f*cking badass olive oil cake. I check out. You have to check out.

PS: So that you can check in.

EG: So you can check in.

PS: I like that idea.

EG: It's clocking in. You're clocking in for work. Yeah. But I haven't become a full-blown alcoholic yet. So you can do it. You can do it in small doses. And having friends. Having friends who agree with you and support you.

PS: I like that sentiment: that self-care and taking action don't have to be mutually exclusive. You could do self-care and take action at the same time.

EG: And self-care I think is really hard for a lot of people because they feel like they haven't deserved it, especially women who are like, "I don't want to take care of myself or be kind to myself." But it's so necessary. So necessary. And sometimes that's just going to have drinks with your friends. Just spend an hour or two with your friends or go see A Star Is Born again.

PS: A great form of self-care.

EG: Yeah. Go watch someone else cry for once.

"Why Bother" Voting? Michelle Obama Has a Few Reasons For You

Michelle Obama understands that many Americans feel disillusioned with the state of politics. With the midterm elections ahead, she's heard plenty of reasons people don't feel motivated to vote. But in a new video message for the nonpartisan nonprofit When We All Vote, she addresses those excuses head on.

"Whether you're trying to get dinner on the table after working a double shift, dropping baby off with Grandma, or studying for exams, voting can feel like the furthest thing from your mind. You may even feel like it's just not worth it," Obama says. "But that's exactly what some people want you to think. The truth is, when we stay home, things stay the same - or they get worse."

Obama urges viewers to make sure they're registered to vote by visiting WhenWeAllVote.org or texting WeAllVote to 97779. Check your own registration status before the elections on Nov. 6 so you can cast your vote and make a difference.

I've Been on 50 Flights in the Past 2 Years - This Is How I Don't Get Sick

In the past two years, I've been on roughly 50 different flights, across different countries, states, airlines, and airports. It's not as glamorous as it sounds - in the first year, I got the flu four times, two weeks a pop! I began to dread flying, because it felt inevitable that my frail immune system would contract whatever germs were floating around in the air of the cabin.

And it's not just me - the journal BMC Infectious Diseases published a study on the role airports play in the transmission of influenza and pandemic threats. "Nucleic acid of at least one respiratory virus was detected in 9 out of 90 surface samples" in the examined airport, meaning about 10 percent of the things you touch in the airport have "at least" one virus. Sweet.

I decided to get proactive. Through research, trial and error, product testing, and talks with doctors, I created a defense guide on how to conquer air travel without picking up a nasty bug from your fellow passengers. Here's my go-to, must-do checklist I stick to every single time I travel. And, guess what? I haven't been sick once since I implemented this plan. Fly safe, my friends.

What Is It Like to Be in an Open Marriage? 1 Woman Shares Her Story

Sara and Ben (names have been changed) are a happily married, millennial couple in an open relationship. We reached out to Sara to share some insight into their journey to polyamory, the ground rules they've set, and what it's like to date other people - and maybe even fall in love with other people - when you're already married to someone you love.

How long have you been with your husband?

We've been together for nine years. We met on our first day of college - I was determined to break out of my nerdy shell and sit next to the cutest person in the room. I was really drawn to Ben. He ended up being super quiet and thus I was convinced that he hated me, but in actuality he was just nervous (and a soft-spoken person). We became friends, and the rest is history.

When did you decide to have an open relationship?

We started talking about being monogamish (which later evolved into full-blown polyamory, haha) about two years into our relationship. Seven years ago.

Who initiated it? How did the conversation go?

Ben is an open-minded person who has never been a big believer in social constructions or tradition. I am a bit more of a rule follower, but definitely liberal and nonjudgmental. He brought up the idea of him being comfortable with me casually dating other people early on in our relationship. He knew that he was my first boyfriend (I was 18), and he didn't want me to feel like I was missing out on dating. We talked about nonmonogamy in theory for a long time (two years?) before ever acting on it. In hindsight, I feel like this gave me time to get used to the idea and for us to build a solid foundation. One of my biggest takeaways from our relationship (and from hearing about other couple's open relationships) is that a successful nonmongamous relationship centers on honest communication and a strong connection between the couple.

How would you describe your relationship?

Our relationship has evolved over time, but the constant has been how close we are with one another. We've been consistently super happy together for almost a decade! The other constant is that since becoming "monogamish" (and eventually, "poly"), we've always dated separately.

At first, we were monogamous (I was 18 and didn't know much about any other relationship structures). Ben mentioned that he would be comfortable with me casually dating other people early on in our relationship, and it was then something we talked about every once in a while for a few years. These conversations were happy and exploratory. When we graduated college (and moved in together), I met someone who I could see myself dating. Ben was comfortable with me exploring it, and I casually went on a few dates. From there, we talked about opening the relationship on his end as well, and I was surprised by how nonjealous I felt. We took it really slow (lots and lots of conversation) and occasionally dated outside of our relationship. As time went on, the "casual" piece has become less and less important. I dated someone for over a year, and the consistency (and depth) was really nice. Ben was fully supportive - in fact, he prefers when I date someone longer term, because he trusts that I'm safe (dating new people can feel scary - you never know who might be a creep!). He has been seeing two women for about eight months, and again I am surprised by how normal it feels.

Logistically, we tend to see the other people we're dating (if we're dating other people) about once a week. I have an incredibly busy career (whereas Ben's is more mellow), so he might go on two dates a week (almost always during times when I am busy anyways). I am super picky and not always seeing someone, but when I am, I like to see them once a week. In the past I have spent the night at a boyfriend's house, but Ben has not spent the night anywhere.

Do you ever get jealous? Does he?

Making the other person feel valued and primary is extremely important to Ben and me. This really helps minimize jealousy. We spend most of our free time together and try to be intentional about the quality of that time (e.g. putting our phones away and actually connecting). We've both acknowledged that if our foundation wasn't strong, we would probably feel more jealousy.

We shared a big laugh when we realized just how weird/unusual it is for a husband to comfort his wife about her breakup with a boyfriend.

Do you have ground rules? If so, what are they?

The biggest rule is communication - we try hard to balance respect for our other partners' privacy with open communication between the two of us. We are also always honest with the people we are dating. Everyone knows right off the bat that we are happily married, and thus not looking for a lifelong commitment. We also feel strongly about treating the people we date with respect and care (and expect to be treated the same). It makes me really happy (but also disappointed) that several of the women Ben has dated have said that he is the kindest, most respectful man they've been with.

This isn't a rule but more of a practice: we have not met one another's partners in the past. This might also help minimize jealousy. Not meeting one another's partners also allows each of us to have an identity outside of our marriage, which is nice. However, we're both open to meeting someone the other person is dating if they felt strongly about it.

Another big (and hopefully obvious) rule is condoms. We believe in safe sex for everyone, not just open couples!

Have you fallen in love with someone you've dated?

Yes - I've been in love with one other person. It was not the same as the deep love I feel for Ben, but it was fun and meaningful. Ben didn't feel threatened and was an amazing source of support when we eventually broke up. We shared a big laugh when we realized just how weird/unusual it is for a husband to comfort his wife about her breakup with a boyfriend. Ben hasn't fallen in love with anyone (he is a private person, and the women he is dating are not looking for serious relationships). If he did fall in love, I don't think it would bother me. We both feel strongly that our relationships with other people don't take away from how we feel about each other.

Do your friends or family know?

My sister (who is also my best friend) and her husband know, which is extremely helpful. Finally telling them was a massive relief. I felt like I was living a double life for a while there, which I hated. We've also told a few close friends, all of whom have been awesome and supportive. The idea of telling our parents makes us both want to poop our pants, and thus will never happen (nor does it need to). I'm not particularly close with the rest of my family, so there is really no need to tell them.

This past year, we've been trying to tell new friends early on, because it is much less awkward. This has been a great strategy! We tend to attract open-minded people into our lives, so no one has had a terrible response thus far.

What type of guys do you go for? Are they similar or different than your husband?

I tend to be attracted to older men, which is different from Ben (he is only a couple of months older than I am). My long-term boyfriend was hilariously similar to Ben in some ways (both surfers, they liked similar bands and movies, similar styles of dress, etc.).

What type of women does your husband go for? Are they similar to you or different?

Ben tends to go for women who are a bit more free-spirited than I am - which is fine by me! He can go camping with them while I enjoy the comfort of a real bed. The women he dates do tend to be intellectual like I am. They sound like awesome people who I could easily be friends with.

How has this arrangement helped your relationship?

I am 100 percent convinced that being in an open relationship has made our relationship better. We've honestly become closer through sharing our dating experiences with one another. We've always had an awesome sex life, and it's fun to be able to have sexual experiences outside of the relationship (it takes a lot of pressure for us to be all things for the other person).

Do you have kids or plan on having kids? How will this affect your decision to have an open relationship?

We're unsure about kids but would probably be monogamous during the baby phase (only because of time constraints). Our biggest commitment to one another is to keep talking honestly and continually reevaluating the structure of our relationship. Originally we weren't sure if we were going to be nonmonogamous for 10 minutes, or 10 years. It's all about making sure we're both happy. We're so grateful to have found one another and joke that we're two little aliens in love. We don't know if our relationship will always be open, but we do feel strongly that we'll be together.

We Owe It to the Women Who Fought For Our Right to Vote to Get to the Polls

On Tuesday, the choice is yours. You can sit on the sidelines and watch as strangers who know nothing about you, your values, your needs, or your concerns make important decisions for you and your family.

Or you can be counted by making your voice heard when you cast your ballot on Election Day. Your vote could decide the direction of this country. In fact, it will. Many races literally come down to a handful of votes. A handful. So whoever started that nasty rumor that your vote doesn't matter? That's just a boldface lie. If our votes didn't matter, they wouldn't be working so hard across the country to suppress them. They wouldn't be giving speeches about how worried they are that people will actually "exercise their constitutional right to vote." Yeah. That's an actual thing a politician said last week. They want to discourage us from participating.

When this is all said and done, after every vote is counted, will you be able to say that you did your part?

Let's not fall for the same old tricks, ladies. And dear gents who might also be reading. We all know better.

We are facing the most important election of our lifetime. When this is all said and done, after every vote is counted, will you be able to say that you did your part?

My mother's mother was an immigrant. My father is an immigrant. I remember when he became a US citizen. How hard he studied for his test. I remember running his flash cards with him. His story, and my grandmother's story, are the reason I take civic engagement and voting so very seriously. Not only is it a privilege, but it's a constitutional right that my family fought to have. I will not take this opportunity for granted. None of us should.

That's why it's hard to believe that only about 40 percent of people vote in midterm elections.

In fact, in the last midterm election (in 2014), we saw the lowest percentage of Americans turn out since World War II. The lowest! It was all the way down to below 37 percent.

Take a moment, and let that sink in, dear readers. If someone gets elected with less than a 37 percent turnout rate - and we have to assume that their opponents also get some of those votes - then that means the person elected is actually representing an even smaller percentage of the people who actually voted! That candidate could be representing, say, 20 percent of their constituents. What about the other 80 percent of you? Don't you want to matter? Don't you want representation for you, influenced by you?

Our vote is our voice. It's how we tell elected officials what matters to us. With such low turnout, how can we expect for our values to be represented or our concerns to be addressed? Why should we even expect that person to care about us? It's absurd.

Let's head to the polls on Nov. 6, honor the legacies of the women who came before us, and create a better world for the women who will come after us.

Look, I totally get how this can feel overwhelming at times. Politics can be nasty. We've all seen it at its worst, and we've also seen it at its best. However, the only way we affect change is by voting.

Now, I know everyday life can be a task within itself. We have demanding jobs and school, children to care for - the list goes on and on - and oftentimes, voting can be the furthest thing from our minds, but we can no longer afford to live on the sidelines. In every election, especially this election, the quality of our children's education is on the line, our parents' and grandparents' ability to get the health care they need is on the line, the kind of roads we drive on and the future direction of our communities are on the line.

It doesn't matter if you have not voted in a long time or even if you have never voted at all, it is never too late to make your voice heard! The opportunity to help shape a better future for our families and our communities is too great to pass up. When it comes to voting, we have an opportunity and a choice. The opportunity to see our values reflected in government and the choice of which values will be represented.

Ladies! We are leaders on all fronts, community builders, and so much more. It is now imperative that we continue to lead on voting. Generations of women before us fought for our right to be able to step into a ballot box. We now have a responsibility to open spaces for generations of women to come. Let's head to the polls on Nov. 6, honor the legacies of the women who came before us, and create a better world for the women who will come after us.

POPSUGAR is proud to be a partner of When We All Vote and further amplify its mission to support every American's responsibility to register and vote.

The Absolute Best Way to Cook Zucchini Noodles

Congrats! You've successfully made zoodles in a spiralizer. Now, onto the important question: how do you actually cook them? Unlike pasta, you fortunately don't need to wait around for a pot of water to boil. Instead, you treat the veggie "noodles" as vegetables you'd normally sauté on the stovetop.

The best way to cook a batch of zoodles is to heat one or two tablespoons of oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil, in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the noodles with a generous pinch of salt and a little pepper. After about five minutes, the zoodles will be slightly softened but not mushy, which is what you're after. They'll be similar to the al dente texture of traditional pasta.

And that's it! You can turn off the heat and turn your zucchini noodles into a full meal catered to your preference. You could add homemade bolognese sauce, basil pesto and parmesan cheese, lemon butter shrimp and red pepper flakes, or even more of your favorite satueed veggies to the mix. After trying out this healthy alternative to carb-heavy pasta a few times, you might convince yourself you like it almost as much as the real thing.

Ready to get cooking? Here are some more zucchini noodle recipes to get you started.

Stuffing-Flavored Pringles, Anyone? Thanksgiving Dinner Flavors Are Back!

We never thought we'd see Thanksgiving dinner-flavored Pringles, but last year's launch proved us wrong. Now it's your lucky day, fans of this questionable food trend, because Pringles is releasing its Thanksgiving flavors again! Three festive flavors will be available this year: Turkey, Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie. These "canned goods" - get it? - come in clever packaging and taste like some of your favorite Turkey Day dishes.

The catch is they won't be available in grocery stores, so you can't pick them up when you're planning the rest of your Thanksgiving menu. Instead, you can buy them online for a very limited time. Beginning on Nov. 6 at 11:59 p.m. ET, you can purchase a three-pack of Pringles Thanksgiving chips for $15 from the Kellogg's store. This is on a first-come, first-served basis, though, and you better believe there are enthusiasts out there. If this is your dream "side dish" this holiday season, set a reminder and stock up while you can.

If You Thought Lady Gaga Rules the Red Carpet, Just Wait Until You See Her Street Style

We're used to seeing Lady Gaga killing it on the red carpet, but that's not the only place she lets her fashion flag fly. Every single outing is an opportunity for Gaga to show off her style, whether that's a trip to the recording studio, a TV appearance, or just a regular Sunday afternoon in NYC with her fiancé. Even when she's dressing down, Gaga's outfits are far from casual. She'll add suspenders to a jeans-and-tee combo, wear platform boots with her day-to-day looks, and run errands in vintage Valentino. One thing's for sure: there'll always be a style surprise somewhere in the mix.

Keep reading to see some of Gaga's most memorable street style moments, from her Summer of '60s retro looks to her love affair with the sexiest pieces from the Versace archives. You will never run to the store in yoga pants again.

Kendall Jenner's Fancy Birthday Coat Is Unbeatable - You'd Have to Agree With That

Kendall Jenner was stationed in NYC for her 23rd birthday, which she spent with friends ahead of walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. While she could have gotten all jazzed up in a minidress and strappy heels, Kendall kept things low-key - that is, if you consider her lime furry-cuffed Saks Potts coat ($2,055) low-key. The supermodel rode around on a bike painting the Big Apple, er, kelly green instead of red.

At night, good friend Bella Hadid threw Kendall a bash, and she stepped out in Adidas sneakers, a Marine Serre top, and a long black jacket, topping off the ensemble with a festive turquoise birthday hat. Read on to get a glimpse of Kendall's special day; then, if you're into her electrifying outerwear, splurge on her exact piece for yourself or pick up a similar design we found to turn heads.

Cardi B's Newest Fashion Collaboration Was "Decades" in the Making

Just one week after revealing that her Fashion Nova line will officially launch later this month, Cardi B is adding a new brand to her list of fashion collaborations: Reebok. The 26-year-old rapper revealed via Instagram on Monday that she's officially partnering with the brand to promote its new Aztrek "dad" sneaker.

"Everything that you love about Cardi is what you love about Reebok," the brand said in a press release. "Reebok has a longstanding legacy of nonconformity, whether it's creating the first workout shoe exclusively for women or putting bold-faced expletives and fresh-faced hip hop stars in its big ad campaigns in the early '00s." According to Reebok, Cardi B was the perfect celebrity to launch a partnership with because she "isn't just a world-class entertainer. She's a mother, a style icon, a pop culture magnet and - above all else - a fearless individual."

The brand continued, "She's broken every mold that superstars are supposed to fit into - and she's reached the top by following nobody's path but her own." The Reebok Classics Aztrek Sneaker ($90) is currently available on the brand's website. Shop it ahead!

Julia Roberts Has a Street Style Secret Weapon, and It's a Pair of Leather Pants

Julia Roberts may never be able to re-create an outfit as iconic as those she wore in Pretty Woman, and that's no bad thing. Her costumes were just that extraordinary, and she wore them with so much confidence that they still sprout up as Halloween costumes every year. But Julia's got her own thing going on when it comes to red carpet suits and bold power moves (remember when she famously gave up shoes at Cannes?).

We're here to focus on her street style, though, because the actress has somehow managed, with the help of her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, to cater her off-duty ensembles to the city she's stationed in, brilliantly pairing leather skinnies with graphic tees and blazers in the Big Apple one day, then transitioning to effortless boho separates when she's in LA. Scroll to get a handle on Julia's flawless personal wardrobe, and keep your eyes peeled for even more appearances as she promotes her new TV series, Homecoming, and Ben Is Back, a film that's already garnering 2019 Oscars buzz.
