This $58 Tool Has Me About to Throw All My Hairbrushes in the Fireplace
When I was in high school, I wondered if the world would ever invent a hairbrush that could blow-dry my hair - true story. Some years later, the beauty industry has made my dreams come true with the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer ($58). I'll forgive Revlon for raiding the recesses of my brain (royalties welcome, as always) because the oval brush works extremely well. In fact, it's such a flawless invention that it's Amazon's bestselling hair tool.
Picture this: You just got out of the shower, and your hair is barely toweled off. You could grab your blow dryer and a rounded brush, or you could save yourself the trouble of lifting an extra item and reach for your One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer. It's not perfectly rounded, nor is it flat and one-sided. Revlon designed it as a three-dimensional shafted brush that's flattened ever so slightly, so you can comb your hair through to make it straight or wrap the ends around, creating soft, subtle curls. While the technique isn't intuitive (it's only one step!), all it takes is five minutes to completely override years of blow-and-brush muscle memory.
Don't be like me (above). Separate your hair into at least two tiers, securing the top one while you brush-dry the bottom layer first. Your dry time will be cut down, and your hair will be more voluminous overall. While the combination of nylon pin and tufted bristles helps lift your follicles at the roots, your hair will be dryer faster if you pull it into even more sections.
Every time I've used it, my hair has come out smoother, and dare I say shinier, than it has been with a regular brush and dryer. Bonus: the $58 price tag is reasonable given that you're essentially replacing two separate items.
Everything We Know About ColourPop's First Ever Mascara (Pssst, it's Only $8)
Update: Along with ColourPop's launch with its first-ever mascara in Black on Black, the brand will also release the formula in six vibrant shades: Left on Red, Pink Inc., Yellow Goodbye, Kiss 'N' Teal, Blue Ya Mind, and Purple Prose. All seven shades are promised to be lengthening, volumizing, and flake-free. See pictures of each of the brights ahead.
This story was originally posted on January 22, at 10 a.m.
ColourPop is dropping something big this week. The makeup brand - which was founded in 2014 and has built a reputation for affordable pricing on colorful, pigmented formulas and collaborations with top beauty bloggers - is finally making its first foray into mascara.
The BFF Mascara ($8) is launching on Jan. 24, and with its hourglass-shaped spoolie made from nylon and its "blackest black" formula, ColourPop promises lengthened, lifted, and volumized lashes that will neither flake nor clump. Its price is already on a par with the makeup company's existing products (it will only cost $8 when it goes on sale), and we predict it will also live up to predecessors and the brand's loaded promises.
ColourPop has also hinted to POPSUGAR that there is something else in the works that will be announced at 6 p.m. ET today on its Instagram. Whatever it is, like the mascara, we're ready for it.
Emma Stone Just Dyed Her Signature Red Hair, and It Looks GOOD
It's the season of celebrity hair changes, and we cannot get enough of them.
This time, Emma Stone is serving up some hair inspiration for us. The star of The Favourite (who even shares a beauty habit with the queen) stepped out for the Annual Producers Guild Awards with a new style and color, and we're loving the darker hue. The color is a few shades darker than what we saw her wear at the Golden Globes, with tones of darker copper, too, and it takes us back to the dark-hued look she sported at the 2016 Met Gala.
After further inspection into the cut of her hair, it seems Stone is wearing a tight updo, rather than a new short style. Although, we wouldn't be surprised if she's considering the chop after seeing how well she pulls off this edgy look. Get a closer look at all angles of Stone's new style ahead.
Madonna Now Has a Brunette Pixie, and Whoa, We Barely Recognized Her
Madonna is known for many things: being the queen of pop, an actor and director, and owner of the MDNA skincare brand. But for most of us, when we think of Madonna, we think of her with wavy blond hair.
But it seems the pop star wants to take things over to the darker side, as she recently showed off a brunette pixie cut, and we're into it. Madonna shared two photos on her instagram of the new look captioned, "But what if...................😍" perhaps hinting it might be a wig (or even a clever hair color changing app), but she might be considering making the new hair a permanent addition to her look. A few days later, Madonna treated us to another angle of the new style, accentuating her blue eyes.
Fans in the comments are loving the change saying, "I love your new look Madonna" and "Yes! Always loved you with black hair!" Get a closer look at her new hair ahead, as well as a reminder of her iconic blond style.
Here's Why Divorce Just Isn't an Option For Us
A little over 11 years ago, my husband and I stood together in a room full of our family and friends - and a few random, obscure cousins no one had ever mentioned until it was time to mail out wedding invitations - and promised to love each other in good times and in bad. I meant those words when I said them that day, but the truth is I didn't really understand their true implication. We were just kids who fell in love and thought the security marriage offered seemed like a pretty solid way to go. But we also respected the institution and wouldn't have bothered getting hitched if we weren't planning on staying together. And even though we were young enough to stay out drinking all night, then go to work the next day without feeling even remotely hungover, my husband and I believed then that marriage was a lifelong commitment and that divorce wasn't really an option.
I know now how naive I was when I repeated my vows that day. Because I distinctly remember looking at our pastor and thinking, "How bad could times get?" Oh, if only I could go back and tell that dewy-skinned bride she would come to know very bad times. I'd tap my dapper new hubby's shoulder and gently whisper in his ear how our fairly naive sense of what fidelity meant would be more than tested. But the wiser, more-hardened-by-life me would also want that beaming, wide-eyed couple to know they'd get through the toughest of times, grow to appreciate their dedication to each other, and respect the sanctity of marriage more than they ever thought possible.
That may sound all glossy and pretty, but know that the word "divorce" has been uttered in our home many times. I whimpered it from the floor of our foyer, where I lay, deeply depressed, after losing a baby late in pregnancy. "How can we stay together when our lives have fallen so spectacularly to pieces?" I wondered, my grief so raw and out in the open, while his was hidden behind a strong exterior as he carried on with his life as if nothing had happened. The word "divorce" was paraded about again during the many months we spent apart due to career obligations. I figured, why keep trying so damn hard to keep our marriage alive if the universe was so intent on forcing us to be apart? There have been other tough times; we were eaten alive by the bad housing market, and we've fought bitterly over in-laws, finances, and, ironically, how we fight so differently from each other. We've been dug down deep in the trenches of raising four kids, working opposite schedules, and subsisting on no sleep, leftovers, and hope things would get just a tad easier.
Here's the beauty of surviving really awful, brutal, miserable, sometimes heartbreaking bad times: you realize that if you were going to split up, you would have done it already.
But here's the beauty of surviving really awful, brutal, miserable, sometimes heartbreaking bad times: you realize that if you were going to split up, you would have done it already. That if you managed to weather all that sh*t - and you've said the worst things to each other, you've thrown the "d" word out, you've cried and driven away, flown away, slept on the sofa, at a hotel, literally been sure you hated the other person for even being born - well, from there, you can exhale. And accept that the two of you are in this - really, truly, 100 percent in it. That there's no splitting up; there's only sticking together through it all. At this point, what we've built is so strong, the bad times don't have a chance to topple our foundation. I'll stop short at saying we laugh in the face of bad times, but you get my point.
It's hard to imagine that something else could happen in the future for us to even consider ending our marriage. Of course, before any of that other stuff happened, it was hard to imagine, too. Unfortunately, you just never know where life will take you, but that's something you're promising to deal with together when you say "I do." So, I'm sure in another decade, I'll be reflecting on the challenges my husband and I have faced. As I contemplate the many highs and lows we will have undoubtedly experienced, I can only hope he is right there by my side. And that we are as devoted to this union then as we are today. And that we have even more reverence for the vows we spoke to each other on our wedding day, all those years ago.
I Had a Huge Wedding - and I Don't Regret It
When people learn I'm Greek-American, their minds often turn to the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I'm frequently asked, "Is that movie accurate? Was your wedding like that?" Yes, I respond. All of it. That movie basically sums up my wedding. I even have the pesky brothers who taught my fiancé all of the naughty swear words in Greek.
Planning a wedding can be stressful - particularly when it comes to the guest list. Maybe one partner prefers an intimate affair while the other wants to invite all of the neighbors in the subdivision. In my case, my husband and I knew from the moment we got engaged that our wedding was going to be big - and loud.
When I said "yes" to my not-Greek boyfriend, my mother began planning the biggest, fattest Greek wedding that she could. I had no control over it, and I did not care. My parents raised four very unruly children, and none of us ended up in jail, so my mom earned the right to plan my entire wedding, and it was big. The invite list was over 450 people - that kind of big.
I remember sitting with my then-fiancé in my parents' family room one weekend. We had booked the grand hall, I had picked my dress, and next came the tightening up of other details. "OK," my mom said, bringing out three sheets of paper covered in names. "It's time to talk guest list." She had a certain mischievousness in her voice. I knew exactly what that meant.
"You're inviting the entire church, aren't you, Mom?" I asked.
"Nooo," she said. "But there are many people who we have to invite. So get started on your list, too."
Our list didn't even compare to my parents'. I'll admit that at first, it bothered me a little. My young, selfish mind thought, "Isn't it our wedding? We should get to invite more people than my parents!" But then I realized that the people on this grand guest list helped raise me, too. They wanted to attend my wedding and help us celebrate. Looking back, I feel grateful.
On the big day, when my three brothers opened up the church doors, the congregation was packed - standing room only. Thankfully, it wasn't as uneven as the movie: my husband's side of the church actually had guests in it, too. I felt the love of everyone as I walked down the aisle to the altar and again after we were announced as "husband and wife."
The wedding reception felt like fireworks. My husband and I walked through the doors, and the Greeks lived up to their loud stereotype: cheering, standing, and whistling. After we ate and sauntered through our first dance as a couple, my husband and I floated through the classy decorated hall (not obnoxious, and very blue, like the movie) and greeted every single table. My husband shook the hands of people he had never met, and I hugged them all. We didn't mind taking time out of our night to thank people who wanted to be present at our wedding. We felt the opposite, actually - really freaking grateful.
I don't regret having a big fat Greek wedding at all. Some people may argue that having a large wedding is overly lavish and unnecessary. Sure, you're right. But sometimes, having large weddings is just part of your big, tight-knit culture. I feel honored that my parents could invite all of their closest relatives and friends. They were proud of their one and only daughter, and I was not going to be the one to rob them of that joy. If I had to do it all over again, I would - for my parents. Because sometimes your wedding day is bigger than you.

5 Ways You Can Combat Abortion Stigma
If there is a proverbial elephant in the room when it comes to reproductive rights, the top contender might be abortion stigma. So, what exactly is abortion stigma? It's the negative perception of an individual who has an abortion or works in abortion care. Patients and providers of abortion care are often the most deeply affected by stigma, but it can also extend to nonclinical staff members, volunteers, friends, and relatives of those who work in abortion care.
Abortion stigma can be incredibly harmful and can prevent us from having real conversations about an everyday part of reproductive health care that one in four women in the US will experience before the age of 45. Ending the stigma around abortion is long overdue, so let's talk about what we can all do to change the conversation.
Here are some ways we can start busting abortion stigma:
1. Say the Word
Let's be clear: abortion is not a bad word, but by treating it like one, we reinforce the stigma surrounding it. One very simple way to start destigmatizing abortion in your life is super simple: say the word abortion when it comes up. It's all too common to hear people tap-dance around abortion and opt for euphemisms instead - saying things like "right to choose," "the procedure," "taking care of it." So, if you're talking about abortion, just say the word. It will be OK, we promise.
2. Get the Facts
There are a ton of urban legends about abortion that make their way around the internet, family circles, and social circles despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Let's debunk a couple of them right now.
Fact: Abortion is very safe.
The vast majority of evidence shows that first-trimester abortion (which is when 89 percent of abortions occur) is safe over the long-term and carries little or no risk of infertility, cancer, or psychological illness. In fact, abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States. Data, including from the CDC, shows that abortion has over a 99 percent safety record. Studies show that major complications occur less than one percent of the time.
One reason people may not know abortion is safe is because of pop culture. A 2014 study from University of California, San Francisco found that nearly 38 percent of characters from 80 different abortion-related TV and film plotlines experienced complications, interventions, and/or negative health consequences from an abortion, and 22.5 percent of characters faced a long-term adverse health consequence such as mental illness, infertility, or death.
This simply doesn't represent reality.
According to a 2014 study from the University of California, the rate of major health complications from first-trimester abortion was 0.23 percent. Statistically, this makes having an abortion safer than getting your wisdom teeth removed.
Fact: Abortion is common.
Abortion is common. In fact, one in four women will have an abortion in her lifetime. There are about a million abortions performed in the US each year, 89 percent of which take place in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, making abortion a far more mainstream part of reproductive health care than we might be led to believe.
Fact: There is no one person who has an abortion.
The vast majority of people having an abortion are in their 20s - just four percent of abortion patients in 2014 were under the age of 18. Fifty-nine percent of abortion patients are already parents. In a study of women's reasons for seeking abortion, researchers reported: "Women in the sample had abortions because of the material responsibilities of motherhood, such as the care for their existing children, as well as the more abstract expectations of parenting, such as the desire to provide children with a good home. The women believed that children were entitled to a stable and loving family, financial security, and a high level of care and attention."
3. Respect People's Decisions
Some may try to draw a line between "good" abortions and "bad" abortions - more specifically, abortion that happens for more socially acceptable reasons versus ones that may be deemed "unacceptable."
Sometimes people try to justify the legality and availability of abortion later in pregnancy by talking about ending a pregnancy for medical reasons, like when the pregnancy is threatening the life of the mother or there are fetal anomalies. These stories are certainly compelling, and while they do represent some experiences, the truth is that people decide to have an abortion for many different reasons, all of which should be respected and valued. Abortion later in pregnancy is also very safe.
Fortunately, there is a very easy way around this issue - educate yourself about the real facts around abortion through resources like Guttmacher Institute, which tracks national trends in reproductive health care. The decision to have an abortion is highly personal, shaped by an individual's unique circumstances, and like every other healthcare decision, should be made for one's self.
4. Stop the Cycle
At its heart, stigma is a cycle.
Because of the massive amount of misinformation and highly charged politicizing of abortion care, people who have an abortion may feel like they have to keep their experience private. This misinformation perpetuates false narratives about abortion, which in turn leads to more stigma. We can stop the cycle by having conversations about abortion and listening to and supporting people who decide to have an abortion.
5. Educate Yourself
Moving past the myths, TV plotlines, and rumors is key. You can get the real facts about reproductive health care from Guttmacher Institute, the leading research organization committed to advancing reproductive health and rights in the United States. You can also get facts about abortion from Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading provider of reproductive health care, including abortion care and sex education. There are some great storytelling projects out there like, the 1 in 3 Campaign or #ShoutYourAbortion - resources for real abortion stories from a variety of patient storytellers.
If you've had an abortion and want to talk to someone about it, Exhale provides unbiased phone-based support from trained volunteers. Or if you have a story to tell, you can share your story with Planned Parenthood here.
Planned Parenthood is proud to provide expert, high-quality health care to our patients, including safe and legal abortion, in a safe and compassionate environment. We ensure patients receive accurate information about all of their options so they can make their own, fully informed decisions about their health, their family, and their future.

It's So Cold Out That Parts of Niagara Falls Are Freezing - See the Stunning Photos
Niagara Falls, while usually cold this time of year, is looking particularly frigid these days. Winter Storm Harper swept through the nation in mid-January, dumping several inches of snow in the Northwest, Northeast, and many states in between. The storm brought snow showers to Niagara Falls on Jan. 18, which then continued throughout the weekend. Temperatures sunk as low as -1 degrees fahrenheit on Jan. 20. While the weather might have made for a rather brutal experience for visitors of the famous park, the icy conditions allowed for some really spectacular photos. Check out a few brave tourists' photos ahead.
How Do You Write the Letter "X"? This Simple Question Has Sparked the Internet's Latest Debate
First came the argument about what color the dress was, then there was the Yanny vs. Laurel hearing test, and most recently, a debate about the letter "X" is stealing the internet. A now-viral tweet has been circulating since Jan. 19, and it has everyone questioning how they write the letter "X." In the photo shared by Twitter user SMASEY, the colored line is the first stroke. Yes, we even had to write out words containing the letter multiple times just to see how we do it - who knew there were eight different ways to form two freakin' lines?
The original Twitter user followed up, writing, "General consensus is that Americans do 7 & 8 while UK does 5 & 6. Probably how we were taught. Not sure about other countries." Personally, I'm a 7, but the question has couples and teammates divided. Some POPSUGAR coworkers weighed in on the debate as well. Here's a look at how our conversation went:
- "Anything but 7 feels insane?"
- "7 DUH"
- "7 is literally the only way to do it."
- ". . . 8"
- "7 if I'm writing in cursive."
- "Wait, I'm an 8."
- "Is this from a fifth grade homework assignment?"
If you think our team can't find common ground, wait until you see what the internet had to say about it, because people have a LOT of thoughts - even including those who do 3 and 5! Check out reactions to the "X" debate ahead, and let us know how you write the letter in the comments.

Exactly What You Need to Know Before Trying Orangetheory in 2019 - Including the Price
You've probably heard of, or seen an Orangetheory fitness studio. The interval-based workout franchise, which is the brainchild of physiologist Ellen Latham, is exploding and now boasts over 700 locations nationwide, from New York to Alaska.
While the name Orangetheory is cool in and of itself, there's actually quite a bit behind it. Read on to have your questions answered about how much classes cost, what's involved in each session, and what you'll ultimately get out of a membership.
What Is Orangetheory?
To get the most out of your workouts, you'll need to buy into the gym's so-called Orangetheory, which is based on the physiological theory of "Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption," or EPOC, also known as the afterburn effect. Basically, the goal of any sweat session at OTF is to train within the "Orange Zone," a target heart rate, for 12 minutes or more. Doing so is said to improve your endurance and overall fitness. With the afterburn effect, you will continue burning calories at an elevated rate even after your workout is finished.
What's Involved in a Typical Orangetheory Session?
During your one-hour interval workout at OTF, you'll be coached through both cardiovascular and strength exercises. A class might start out with treadmill, bike, or strider work, then switch to weight-training via TRX suspension straps and free weights. At the end of a sesh, OTF claims you will have burned upwards of 500 calories!
Is There Any Special Equipment Involved in Orangetheory?
The short answer is "yes." To effectively monitor your heart rate, OTF uses its own heart-rate monitors. So your Fitbit won't be compatible with their app-enabled system. Once you are equipped with either the OTBeat Flex, a heart-rate monitor worn on your forearm, the OTBeat Core, a chest strap, or the newest OTBeat Burn, which can be worn on your wrist, forearm, or bicep, your individual heart rate is displayed on screens around the room. You're only competing with yourself, however, since again, the goal is to hit the Orange Zone for at least 12 minutes of your workout. Fun incentive: for each minute you stay in the Orange Zone, you earn a "Splat point," which can be tracked via the app.
How Much Do Orangetheory Classes Cost?
Membership rates vary depending on where you live. We talked to Orangetheory, and they told us there's a range of membership packages to choose from, from Basic (4 classes for $59/month) to Elite (8 classes for $99/month) to Premier (unlimited classes for $159/month). These are just estimates, so it's best to connect with a studio rep to discuss a plan that works for you; other premium locations, such as in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Dallas, cost more. If you live in Manhattan, you'll have to shell out $199 for an Elite membership and a cool $279 for the Premier.
No matter which level you go for, no annual contract is involved. Phew! And you can take additional classes at a discounted rate once you purchase a membership; the average cost of a class is $28. It's also worth noting the heart-rate monitors require an additional fee; between $5 and $10 for a rental, and between $69 and $109 to purchase. The good news? Anyone can try a free introductory class. And there's an app for that, too, and for booking future sessions.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
All this stuff about heart rate and points and interval training zones may sound intimidating. But the truth is, since your results are individually tracked and assessed, Orangetheory classes are designed for all fitness levels. The classes are led by coaches who are there to motivate you to be your personal best and reach your fitness goals. No matter where you start, OTF claims you will see increased energy in one month, "amazing results" in three months, and the start of a "new you" in six. Sounds like it's worth a try!

Kate's Classic Green Dress Hides a Surprise When You See It From the Side
A busy month of royal engagements continued for the Duchess of Cambridge on Tuesday as she took a trip to Forest Hill in south London to attend the launch of Family Line, a confidential helpline for families from the charity Family Action. Stepping out on a crisp Winter day, Kate chose one of her signature looks, a smart long-sleeved dress. Her deep green design was from Beulah London, and she accessorized with a pair of deep green suede heels, a clutch bag, and a belt with a gold buckle. At a quick glance, this dress looked like a classic we've seen Kate wear so many times in the past, but it was hiding an extra little detail. The skirt was actually split, fastened with dozens of covered buttons set off-center on the skirt, putting a fun and modern twist on the look.
This is the duchess's third royal engagement in London this month. She first took a trip to a community garden, where she made pizzas and bird boxes with a group of cute kids. The duchess then made a visit to the Royal Opera House, where she saw costumes and met members of the wardrobe department. This time around, she met members of the Family Line team, as well as families who've benefited from their services. Take a closer look at her visit ahead, and see that cozy Winter outfit in much more detail.

I'm a Trainer, and This Is How Heavy Your Weights Actually Need to Be to Build Muscle
Strength training is an essential component to your workout regiment, especially if your goal is to lose body fat and build muscle. Not all exercises are created equal, which is why experts recommend doing multijoint movements called compound exercises to help you build muscle and burn more calories and fat.
You'll also need to make sure that you're doing the appropriate amounts of sets and reps in order to build lean muscle. Another extremely important factor is ensuring that you're lifting the right amount of weight. Simply telling you to lift heavy is subjective, which is why you should use the following guide to determine how to choose the correct weight for strength exercises.
Too Light? Too Heavy?
A good indicator the weight you're using is too light is if you feel like you could do infinite amounts of reps without taking a break. While this may be great for your confidence, it's not going to help you build muscle. Common signs the weight you're lifting is too heavy are poor form and being unable to perform the designated sets and reps.
Define Your Goals
To help you get the most out of your strength sessions, you first need to know what your weightlifting goal is. Are you lifting for strength endurance, maximal muscle growth (hypertrophy), or maximal strength? From there, you'll be able to determine how much weight you should be lifting, along with the optimal set and rep range.
How to Find the Right Weight
A general rule of thumb is to find a weight that challenges you during the final few reps of an exercise, but that can also be sustained for multiple sets. Another, more accurate, way to determine how heavy you should be lifting for your specific goal is to first determine the heaviest weight you can lift for three to five reps of a given exercise. For example, to figure out the weight you should be using for a barbell back squat, first figure out the heaviest weight you can lift with proper form for three to five reps.
Next, you'll need to enter the weight you lifted and the amount of reps you performed into a one-rep max calculator. The calculator will provide you with a list of percentages of your one-rep max. Based on your goal, you can use that information, along with the following chart, to figure out sets, reps, and weight. You don't have to calculate your one-rep max for every exercise, but I do recommend doing it for essential lifts like the squat, deadlift, bench press, and bicep curl.
| Strength Endurance | Maximal Muscle Growth (Hypertrophy) | Maximal Strength | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 50-70 percent of your one-rep max | 75-85 percent of your one-rep max | 85-100 percent of your one-rep max |
| Sets | One to three | Three to five | Four to six |
| Reps | 12-20 | Six to 12 | One to five |
Nutrition Will Be Key, Too
Because you're strength training, you'll need to make sure that you increase your daily caloric intake to ensure your body is getting the accurate amount of macronutrients (especially protein) to help you build muscle. On average, you'll need to consume 0.5 to 0.8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. Be sure to consult your doctor before making any changes to your nutrition.
Kate Middleton Brought the Sunshine to Gloomy London On Her Latest Royal Visit
The Duchess of Cambridge continued her royal engagements on Jan. 22, when she traveled to Forest Hill in south London to visit Family Action, an organization that provides, "practical, emotional and financial support to those who are experiencing poverty, disadvantage and social isolation across the country." The duchess visited to launch the new service "FamilyLine", a confidential helpline for families that may want to discuss "parenting challenges, family conflict, relationship difficulties or mental health and wellbeing."
Since the beginning of the year, Kate has been very focused on visiting the organizations and charities she holds close to her heart.

Wondering If Working Out in the Morning Boosts Metabolism? Here's What an Expert Had to Say
When we heard that drinking water in the morning could boost your metabolism, we went to the experts to find out if this was true. Turns out it isn't true, due to the low thermic effect of water. So, naturally, when we heard that exercising first thing in the morning could boost your metabolism, we did what we do best: consulted an expert. To find out if this is just another metabolism-boosting myth, POPSUGAR spoke to Avigdor Arad, PhD, RDN, CDE, director of the Mount Sinai PhysioLab.
What Is Metabolism?
As a refresher, your metabolism is a complex process that relates to how your body processes energy from proteins, fats, and sugars/carbohydrates and how it stores that energy. When you hear people talking about having a slow or fast metabolism, they simply mean their metabolic rate - the amount of calories their body burns in a day.
Does the Time of Day You Work Out Boost Your Metabolism?
"If you're working out, it's going to increase your metabolism, meaning you're going to be burning more calories when you're working out and you're going to be burning more calories after the workout," Dr. Arad told POPSUGAR.
Doing styles of training that require more energy - such as sprinting, HIIT workouts, and weightlifting - will help you burn more fat and calories. But as far as your metabolism is concerned, working out in the morning has no effect on your metabolic rate.
Post-workout, your body will increase oxygen consumption, and as a result, it's going to increase your metabolism - the amount of energy you produce. "It's important to know that the time of the exercise is not necessarily making the difference. If you exercise in the morning, if you exercise in the afternoon, if you exercise at night, it has a very similar effect," he explained.
But What About the Afterburn Effect?
Although exercise can boost your metabolism, one thing Dr. Arad made clear was: "People are burning much less energy after exercise than they think." People speculate that the afterburn effect, aka EPOC (excess postexercise oxygen consumption), lasts for up to 72 hours after exercising, but according to Dr. Arad, "That doesn't seem to be the case." As we stated earlier, you do burn more energy with exercise, but "most of the energy that you burn is during the exercise."
Because you don't burn that much after working out, Dr. Arad said, you "really should focus on the exercise and do an activity that really helps [you] burn a significant amount of calories and a significant amount of fats." You may be wondering what the best workout for burning fat is, and the answer is . . . it depends. Yes, we know this is anticlimactic, but it's the truth. Everyone has a unique genetic makeup that will respond differently to workouts like HIIT and steady-state cardio.
If you are strength training, begin to incorporate compound exercises into your workouts, as they work larger groups of muscle, eliciting a greater energy expenditure, and burn more fat and calories. If you're not sure where to begin, try this four-week strength-training workout plan.

Timothée Chalamet Can't Contain His Laughter at Saoirse Ronan's Adorable Shrek Impression
When a vacation to Florida is up for grabs, Saoirse Ronan will give it all she's got to win. The Mary Queen of Scots star stopped by The Graham Norton Show and proved that she was born for Hollywood even before she started acting. As a child, Saoirse pretended to be a Shrek character to win a vacation for her family, and it's freaking adorable.
Ahead of the release of Shrek 2, a 10-year-old Saoirse entered a radio competition in which she had to explain why she deserved the family trip, by impersonating a Shrek character. She chose the gingerbread man, and it's truly special. Timothée Chalamet, who was also on the show, couldn't contain his laughter while listening to the recording of his bestie. Saoirse's performance was impressive enough to win, and the reaction to her finding out she was going to Florida could even be better than the impression itself!

I Stripped My Closet Down to the Essentials, and I'll Never Look Back
It was a hot mid-July day in New York City, and there I was, testing the limits of my organic deodorant.
Despite the heat, I was wearing a long-sleeved cashmere sweater. I'd just KonMari-ed my closet. I didn't have much else left to wear.
Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, sparked an extreme decluttering craze that took America by storm, causing men and women to clear out their closets and leave only belongings that "spark joy." I was as caught up in the frenzy as any fashion-lover overdue for culling her ill-fitting and rarely worn items.
The movement illustrated a larger trend playing out across the wardrobes of America: learning to love living with less. It's not a question of buying only the best designer items (though that would be nice) but paring down one's clothing collection to focus on quality over quantity.
Crucially, quality here is defined not by how much an item costs but by how often it's worn and how much it is loved. In my version of a pared-down closet, beloved items from affordable stores hang side by side with the rare investment piece. The notion of a wardrobe is changing, and that often means just having way less stuff.
Removing the Element of Choice
There's a powerful undercurrent that's swept in many women, even in creative fields, who are trying to make do with less. A result: the "capsule wardrobe," a closet stripped bare to just the essentials. (The trend is one of the most popular on Pinterest right now.)
Some women have gone one step further by embracing the concept of the "uniform," a signature outfit. Stella Bugbee, The Cut's editorial director, detailed her own dalliance with minimalism and Marie Kondo in a piece called "Don't Cleanse Your Diet, Purge Your Closet Instead." Bugbee memorably likened her newly clean closet to "an artery scraped of plaque."
The ensuing clarity allowed Bugbee to develop her own spin on uniform dressing. "I can make a commitment to buy less, buy smarter, and wear a few perfect things all the time," Bugbee wrote. "Those few items can serve as my uniform right now."
Likewise, a Manhattan art director named Matilda Kahl won Internet acclaim shortly after writing a widely syndicated essay called "Why I Wear the Same Thing to Work Every Day." Kahl's uniform - a white shirt, skinny tie, and black pants - became her calling card for nearly four years.
For Kahl, a uniform allowed her to be "in control" of what she spent time on - and when. "Monday to Friday I want to be able to fully concentrate on my work," she told us. "I see no reason for spending time in the morning on choosing an outfit."
Kahl believes uniform dressing fits within a wider cultural shift in which women are becoming more deliberate with their clothing choices. "I'm not surprised that women are being more mindful nowadays when it comes to how much they buy and what they buy," she said. "We're slowly coming to an understanding that we should be accepted simply for who we are, the same way men always have been."
At the root of these paring-down stories is a quest, almost juice-fast-like, to find simplicity and happiness through a change of routine. It's an issue facing many millennials, who habitually report being overwhelmed by the number of choices that need to be made in adult life.

What One Buys Matters
Simply possessing less clothing can prompt a reevaluation of what new pieces you bring into the home. Increasingly, it seems, shoppers want information about what they're buying - and how it's made.
American Apparel paved the way for '90s and noughties feel-good shopping with made-in-the-USA, sweatshop-free designs. As that company's fortunes have declined, other brands such as Everlane, Warby Parker, and TOMS Shoes have filled the ethical shopping void.
One new addition to the list, the womenswear company Cuyana, even includes the words "fewer, better" in its mission statement. It's an attitude Cuyana CEO Karla Gallardo believes has found increasing acceptance since the company's 2013 founding.
"This is part of the core philosophy of Cuyana: we truly believe that fewer, better things can lead to a fuller, richer life and world," Gallardo said. She cited several factors in perpetuating the movement, including Marie Kondo and increased awareness of manufacturing conditions in the wake of the 2013 Rana Plaza building collapse.
Gallardo and her team have launched what they call the "Lean Closet Movement," an online series that helps women pare down their clothing collections, à la Kondo, but with the specific intention of donating their excess. "In addition to just donating clothes, we've seen a hunger for content around how to build a Lean Closet and live a 'leaner' life," Gallardo said.
Everlane's idea of "radical transparency" is changing the industry as well. The company offers an unusual amount of information about each item it sells, detailing costs of production and relevant factory conditions. The company has struck a chord with shoppers; Everlane sales doubled last year.
"The clothing has a current point of view, but can also be worn in 10 years," Everlane CEO Michael Preysman told Racked. "It's a very tricky thing to pull off. In our view, the best way to be environmentally sustainable is to create really great quality clothing that lasts and that has a lasting timestamp."
In Preysman's definition of quality, cost and style are major factors. He adds longevity to the mix, which in practical terms means having to clean out one's closet much less often.
From Order, Happiness
My own KonMari experience has turned me into something of a proselytizer for decluttering. I passed Kondo's book off to a colleague in the true spirit of avoiding accumulation, just as the guide had come to me through a succession of hand-me-downs.
I haven't gone so far as to adopt a uniform - or to pare down my wardrobe to a state that could be called a capsule - but I did come to a big sartorial epiphany: I realized that I should invest only in pieces I'll actually wear.
Seems simple, right? But it took KonMari-ing my closet to finally learn to stop buying those one-off, jazzy pieces to keep around just in case I, say, ever go clubbing again. For me, that means buying black skirts, good black flats, and striped shirts, items I can wear both to work and to dinner on weekends.
And now, since I'm not buying as much random crap, I have newly freed funds to dedicate to buying pieces with a story, ideally items made in conditions I don't have to feel guilty about.
There will always be high-profile clotheshorses like Giovanna Battaglia and Anna Dello Russo, shoppers who buy clothing - and lots of it - out of sheer love for the game. Fashion is art, after all, and certain stylish women around the world will always treat purchasing like collecting. I can't imagine Lauren Santo Domingo KonMari-ing her closet anytime soon.
But these women are the exceptions who prove the rule. The less-is-more philosophy might not be for everyone, but right now, it's working for me.
I Cleaned Out 100+ Items From My Closet by Asking This 1 Question
You would have never known that I organize and overhaul the wardrobes of clients for a living, let alone write books on the subject, if you had seen the state of my closet last week. Standing in my closet last Sunday while trying desperately to find something to wear to brunch led to the realization that my closet was leading a double life. It's not that it was a "hot mess," organizationally speaking. It was, however, glaringly obvious that everything in there represented my previous life, a very different life from the one I am currently living. A closet filled with four-inch heels and designer duds snagged at countless samples sales (read: I worked at Neiman Marcus corporate for almost a decade and everyone drives everywhere in Dallas) does not a smooth transition to the Bay Area make.
So, I made another cup of coffee, turned on my "Closet Overhaul" Spotify playlist, and did to my own closet what I have done hundreds of times for clients in the past.
I picked up the first hanger and asked the million dollar closet question that works like a charm every time I need to make, or assist a client in making, a decision on what stays and what goes. Two hours and several hangers later, I had over 100 items crammed on a rolling rack ready to donate. Cue: mic drop - and it all started with this question . . .

Online ordering is great and all, but Starbucks is about to make things even easier with delivery through Uber Eats.
