Here’s How You Can Help People Experiencing Homelessness During the Polar Vortex
As a polar vortex sweeps across the Midwest, many people bundle up inside, hands over heaters, hidden away from subzero temperatures. But some citizens are left in the cold. Record-breaking temperatures lower than Siberia, the Arctic, and even Mars have already led to the deaths of eight people - and more than 80,000 people remain on the streets fighting to not just stay warm but to stay alive.
In Chicago, one anonymous donor went viral for picking up the hotel tab for 70 people experiencing homelessness after they were evacuated from a tent city at risk of exploding propane tanks, according to the Chicago Tribune. We may not all have the means to go to such incredible lengths, but there are plenty of ways you can help. Ahead are resources so you can aid those without adequate shelter.

The Dating Mistakes to Avoid in 2019, According to Professional Matchmaker Patti Stanger
I've been called a dating expert a time or two, and as soon as someone gets categorized this way, it begs the question: if you're so good at dating, why are you still single? Because coaches don't play.
I wish it were that simple, because that'd be a great mic-drop answer. Really, it's because I'm not an expert; I just do the dating thing a lot and then write about it. I've made plenty of mistakes, including that time I scheduled back-to-back dates in one night and mixed up their names, so they both got very confusing text messages about timing and meetup locations. As one of my favorite writers, Matteson Perry, shared with me, "Though it's called 'casual dating,' to do it right, you have to be as organized and detail-oriented as an air-traffic controller. Regular communication, scheduling, and planning are key, especially if you're dating more than one person at a time."
Matteson is on the money, and his words got me thinking about the bigger, more classic mistakes that we all make when dating. As the new year kicks off and we resolve to fix our dating faux pas in 2019, we're going to need some words of wisdom from the queen of tough love herself. I sat down with the one and only "Millionaire Matchmaker," Patti Stanger, for some no-nonsense talk about what we're doing wrong and, more importantly, how to fix it in 2019.
Coolest Newlyweds EVER Skied Down the Slopes Right After Saying "I Do"
Most newlyweds share a first dance after exchanging vows, but Bec and Dan replaced the tradition with their first ski as husband and wife. The bride knew she wanted to ski in her wedding gown, so when Dan popped the question, they immediately began looking for the perfect ski resort to host their alpine wedding. They decided on Mayrhofen in Austria, which allowed them to have a mountaintop ceremony and ski down the slope straight from their venue. These two definitely take the coolest couple award.

This New California T-Shirt Isn't Just Cute - It Also Contributes to Wildfire Relief Donations
Communities are still building themselves back up after the horrendous damage caused by the fires in Northern and Southern California that blazed throughout November. To continue supporting relief efforts, LA-based company With Seven launched the All For One t-shirt on Feb. 1, with all proceeds benefiting California Strong.
Not only is the shirt a direct donation to those affected by the Camp, Woolsey, and Hill Fires, but it's also cute as heck. Hannah Minardi, co-founder of With Seven, described the shirts as "a tribute to the families, victims, and first responders who were involved in the tragic events that our state of California experienced. We are excited to get as many people involved as possible."
All proceeds from the purchases specifically benefit the California Strong, which supports those impacted by the Camp Fire in Northern California and the Woolsey and Hill Fires in Southern California. As a San Francisco resident and California-lover, I love the "all for one" message and design of the shirt, which features a red and white take on the symbol of Highway 1 - the legendary road that connects Northern and Southern California in its several iterations.
The unisex shirt is available in sizes S-XXL for $45. Shop it ahead, and feel good about the next thing you add to your closet.
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, the Northeast, and many states in between. The storm brought snow showers to Niagara Falls on Jan. 18, which then continued throughout the weekend. Temperatures sank as low as -1 degree 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.

The Sad Truth - Sometimes Divorce Is the Best Option
There are lots of "D" words in this world that people don't want to say or hear, and divorce is one of them. But sometimes, no matter how you slice it, divorce is the absolute best option.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not an advocate for divorce. I am an advocate for trying your hardest to make your marriage work. But sometimes continually trying to force something together that clearly doesn't belong together ends up doing more harm than good. I know from personal experience.
I never thought I would find myself divorced young. I never thought I would find myself divorced, to be honest. I had been with my husband a total of 14 years, and we had been through so much together. However, we had some fundamental issues that didn't give us the strongest basis for our marriage. In our defense, we were high school sweethearts who stayed together before our identities were fully formed. Before we chose careers. Before we gained our total independence.
I'm on the other side now, and I'm here to tell you something: It's sad. It's hard. But sometimes it's the best option.
We dated, got engaged, moved in, got a dog, got married, and then found ourselves at a crossroads. Little problems had grown into big problems, and the resentment piled on. We were either fighting, not speaking, or being passive-aggressive with each other. We decided to go to therapy. Twice. Then we separated, planned date nights, and spent time together, but the resentment didn't subside. Then we tried one last time to get back together and make it work. Spoiler alert: it didn't.
I cried while we signed our divorce papers. Sobbed. Not because our marriage was over, not because we didn't try, but because the life I thought I was going to have was gone and I didn't know where to start or how to start.
I'm on the other side now and have been for a few years. And I'm here to tell you something: It's sad. It's hard. But sometimes it's the best option.
Here's some real talk. No matter how many people are involved - maybe you have six kids, maybe it's just you and your spouse - you deserve to be happy. Getting divorced is not a selfish act, by any means. Sometimes getting divorced allows you both to become the best versions of yourselves, and you both deserve that. You also both deserve to be fully, completely in love with someone, for better or worse, and to be fully and completely loved back. And sometimes what attracted you to someone changes over time. Maybe these reasons are shallow. Maybe they're deep. Maybe they're serious. Whatever they are, sometimes you need to let go of the baggage to be a better person or a better parent. Your children know you're not happy and may act out. Your parents know you're not happy. Your friends know you're not happy. And if you've exhausted all options, it's time to part ways - hopefully amicably.
I understand that there are lots of consequences with a divorce, too. You may lose friends. You may have to sell the house you made a home. A percentage of your pension - the money you worked so hard for - may be lost to an ex-spouse. These are all hard pills to swallow.
But I will say this: there is absolutely no price tag on happiness. You will make it. You will come out on the other side. And you'll look back and realize that letting go of your marriage was for the best.
The New Teaser For The Handmaid's Tale Gives Us a MAJOR Hint About June's Next Steps
We've been in agony ever since the gripping season two finale of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale. That's due in large part to the fact that we have no idea what's in store for June in the wake of her decision to stay in Gilead. Desperate for information, we cobbled together some details about the season, whatever we could get our greedy hands on, but we wanted more. Luckily, a new teaser for the upcoming season has just given us a massive hint: it seems like our heroine will go undercover as a Martha to get her daughter back. The teaser is very short, just over 10 seconds, so we'll have to patiently wait until the Super Bowl to see the full-length trailer. Make no mistake, the stakes are higher than ever, especially with new threats emerging in the coming episodes.
Meghan Markle's $120 Gemstone Earrings Are Holding Me Spellbound
When Meghan Markle visited the Association of Commonwealth Universities in London, you might have first noticed her black Givenchy coat (a repeat from 2018's Remembrance Day ceremony) or the pleated chiffon dress underneath it. But I was instantly infatuated with her earrings. They were small, yes, but the glistening gemstones caught my eye right off the bat.
Meghan's known to wear delicate pieces when she's not displaying one of Princess Diana's immaculate treasures, and these Dean Davidson Mini Knockout Studs ($122) fit her aesthetic. The semiprecious white jewels are set in 22 karat gold and they come in Rainbow Moonstone and Labradorite colors, too.
Meghan's stylist, Jessica Mulroney, follows the Canadian brand on Instagram, so it was only a matter of time before she plucked special baubles for Meghan's wardrobe. Once you get a good look at these stunners, I have a feeling you'll be right where I am: holding your credit card in one hand and typing the expiration date with the other.

From Beach Dresses to Ballgowns, Meghan Markle's Maternity Style Is Totally on Point
On Oct. 12, 2018, Kensington Palace officially announced that Meghan Markle is expecting her first child with Prince Harry. While we immediately became excited at the idea of seeing the royal duo becoming a family of three, we can't deny that there was one other thing we were pretty damn excited about. The thing in question? Why, all the maternity ensembles the duchess would be wearing, of course.
When it comes to regal pregnancy style, Meghan is in good company - after all, no one does it better than her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Over her three pregnancies, the Duchess of Cambridge has worn a multitude of great outfits and discovered a few brands that, in the next few months, might come in handy for Meghan when it comes to dressing her growing bump.
So far, the Duchess of Sussex has stuck to her go-to, ever-so-stylish ensembles, turning to brands like Givenchy, Jason Wu, and Misha Nonoo. Read on to see all the outfits she's worn so far - from the dress that started the baby rumors to her first royal tour wardrobe.

I Was So Mesmerized by Queen Letizia's Jumpsuit, I Almost Didn't Realize It's From Zara
While Queen Letizia keeps a glamorous rotation of gowns in her closet, the Spanish royal maintains a high-low everyday wardrobe filled with pieces from Zara and even affordable vacation shoes. When she attended the delivery of the Grants for Master's and Research Aid at the Iberdrola Foundation in Madrid, we could have mistaken her pleated look for a blue dress from Massimo Dutti, but how we would've been wrong!
In fact, Letizia's design was a jumpsuit from Zara, which is now on sale for just $20 and still available at select stores. Letizia coordinated the bold silhouette - which comes complete with a black sash - with teal pumps, a clutch, and fun star-shaped diamond studs. Keep reading to get an all-angles view of this occasion piece, then shop some similar styles we found, in both pant and skirt variations.

Kate Middleton's Street Style Dress Is an Old Gown From a Garden Party - Would You Believe It?
Kate Middleton's red Alexander McQueen dress was once the perfect look for a 2017 garden party in Berlin. Never did we expect it to be anything other than a glamorous Summer outfit for the duchess to repeat sometime soon. But Kate surprised us. She rocked the very same design with the exact Simone Rocha statement earrings to her mother Carole Middleton's birthday at sister Pippa's house.
Kate played up the monochrome in a pair of scarlet pumps, and she stayed warm in a long black coat with a small brooch for this unofficial surprise appearance. But oh, how we're glad we spotted her! Kate's ensemble is a prime example of how we aim to bring our warm-weather maxis into Winter. You've got the go-ahead from Kate - it is doable.

Kate Middleton Customized Princess Diana's Earrings So She Could Wear Them All the Time
While royal fans are probably well aware that Kate Middleton's engagement ring once belonged to Princess Diana, there's a matching set of earrings that have their own story, too. When Kate stepped out in her Alexander McQueen tartan coat for her 2019 visit to Scotland, we were reminded of the sapphire gemstones that Kate received as a family heirloom after her wedding, then debuted at Wimbledon in 2011.
But before she wore them for all to see, paying homage to Prince William's mother, she had the diamond drops altered, so that they worked less as costume jewelry to go with a cocktail dress and more as everyday pieces. Ever since then, Kate's sported these for numerous appearances - and why wouldn't she, when they match so perfectly with the sparkler on her finger?
Scroll to see how these treasures looked when they belonged to Princess Diana and were worn with some very fancy outfits, then see Kate in her modernized earrings. Plus, shop a few similar jewels while you're at it, if you're a big fan of sapphires like we are.
Well, Damn! Kendall Jenner's Sexy Boots Came in the Most Unexpected Color
Kendall Jenner just proved that dressing up for the Winter doesn't have to be boring, thanks to her latest pair of boots. The supermodel was seen in New York in a pair of tall, snakeskin-print boots that came in the most unexpected color: bright blue. Kendall let her wild footwear be the center of attention by keeping the rest of her outfit muted. She styled her knee-high kicks with a pair of distressed mom jeans, a white turtleneck, a Louis Vuitton bag, and a long black puffer. Read on to see a closer look and shop similar versions of her animal-print shoes.
Meghan Markle's Astoundingly Perfect, Eco-Friendly Vacation Dress Is Back in Stock
Meghan Markle continued to shake things up when it came to style on her first royal tour with Prince Harry. On a trip to Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia, she kept cool in a linen dress by the laid-back, eco-friendly fashion brand Reformation. Meghan's $218 Pineapple Dress has just been restocked (of course it sold out initially). The design features spaghetti straps, a muted striped print, and a deep slit that Meghan really showed off when she crouched down to greet a woman in the crowd.
The light and breezy number is a far cry from the styles her sister-in-law has chosen for her royal tours in the past: even in the intense heat of the Australian outback, Kate Middleton kept her shoulders covered in a trademark midi dress. Meghan has always been a little more relaxed with her royal wardrobe, and she's never afraid to break the rules or go against supposed royal protocol.
Spaghetti straps are traditionally a no go for royals (they're even banned in the royal enclosure at Ascot), but in the relaxed setting of the Australian vacation island, Meghan's casual and cool choice was just perfect. Take a closer look for yourself ahead, and shop the exact piece before it goes missing from the site yet again.
Meghan Markle Swaps Her Stiletto Pumps For Heeled Boots as She Steps Out in the Snow
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Bristol, England, to meet members of the public and learn more about the charitable work taking place there. Arriving in the morning for a walkabout, the couple braved snowy conditions to greet the people who'd waited out in the cold for their royal moment, including some adorable preschool kids.
The Duchess of Sussex, who has had a busy week of royal engagements that saw her step out in a chic Givenchy coat and a fresh-from-the-runway pink ensemble, finally caved to the cold weather for this latest outing, swapping the bare legs and pumps she favored earlier in the week for thick tights and boots. She teamed them with an outfit by William Vintage and Oscar de la Renta, a designer both she and her sister-in-law have turned to for royal engagements recently.
Meghan's look consisted of a black William Vintage coat over a printed chiffon dress, teamed with suede accessories: knee-high boots and a Ralph Lauren clutch bag in khaki, with a pair of beige gloves. Her boots were by Sarah Flint, a designer Meghan has worn numerous times before, and you can still snap up a pair for yourself. Keep reading for a closer look and to shop key pieces from Meghan's snowy outfit.

This Is Every Way You Could Possibly Wear the Off-White Belt
Of the hundreds of Safari tabs left open on my phone, I've searched "How to wear Off-White belt" 20-something times. And now that I actually have one of the highly coveted belts, I'm still screaming from my closet, "Siri, how the hell do I wear this thing?!"
The 200-cm.-long Off-White Industrial Belt is about 100 cm. too long for my uncoordinated hands to maneuver around my waist . . . at least not with the effortless style of Beyoncé, Bella Hadid, or one of Virgil Abloh's other famous friends. Not to mention, mine is caution-tape yellow.
But it's time I clear my search history and never look back.

The Dating Mistakes to Avoid in 2019, According to Professional Matchmaker Patti Stanger
I've been called a dating expert a time or two, and as soon as someone gets categorized this way, it begs the question: if you're so good at dating, why are you still single? Because coaches don't play.
I wish it were that simple, because that'd be a great mic-drop answer. Really, it's because I'm not an expert; I just do the dating thing a lot and then write about it. I've made plenty of mistakes, including that time I scheduled back-to-back dates in one night and mixed up their names, so they both got very confusing text messages about timing and meetup locations. As one of my favorite writers, Matteson Perry, shared with me, "Though it's called 'casual dating,' to do it right, you have to be as organized and detail-oriented as an air-traffic controller. Regular communication, scheduling, and planning are key, especially if you're dating more than one person at a time."
Matteson is on the money, and his words got me thinking about the bigger, more classic mistakes that we all make when dating. As the new year kicks off and we resolve to fix our dating faux pas in 2019, we're going to need some words of wisdom from the queen of tough love herself. I sat down with the one and only "Millionaire Matchmaker," Patti Stanger, for some no-nonsense talk about what we're doing wrong and, more importantly, how to fix it in 2019.
Coolest Newlyweds EVER Skied Down the Slopes Right After Saying "I Do"
Most newlyweds share a first dance after exchanging vows, but Bec and Dan replaced the tradition with their first ski as husband and wife. The bride knew she wanted to ski in her wedding gown, so when Dan popped the question, they immediately began looking for the perfect ski resort to host their alpine wedding. They decided on Mayrhofen in Austria, which allowed them to have a mountaintop ceremony and ski down the slope straight from their venue. These two definitely take the coolest couple award.

Grab a Suitcase and Your Sneakers - These Fit Vacations Will Give You Serious Wanderlust

There are places around the world that are ideal for wellness seekers, specifically, but this list includes options that are both relaxing and active, so you can find a healthy balance between the two. Keep reading to see your best options for the year ahead.
This New California T-Shirt Isn't Just Cute - It Also Contributes to Wildfire Relief Donations
Communities are still building themselves back up after the horrendous damage caused by the fires in Northern and Southern California that blazed throughout November. To continue supporting relief efforts, LA-based company With Seven launched the All For One t-shirt on Feb. 1, with all proceeds benefiting California Strong.
Not only is the shirt a direct donation to those affected by the Camp, Woolsey, and Hill Fires, but it's also cute as heck. Hannah Minardi, co-founder of With Seven, described the shirts as "a tribute to the families, victims, and first responders who were involved in the tragic events that our state of California experienced. We are excited to get as many people involved as possible."
All proceeds from the purchases specifically benefit the California Strong, which supports those impacted by the Camp Fire in Northern California and the Woolsey and Hill Fires in Southern California. As a San Francisco resident and California-lover, I love the "all for one" message and design of the shirt, which features a red and white take on the symbol of Highway 1 - the legendary road that connects Northern and Southern California in its several iterations.
The unisex shirt is available in sizes S-XXL for $45. Shop it ahead, and feel good about the next thing you add to your closet.
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, the Northeast, and many states in between. The storm brought snow showers to Niagara Falls on Jan. 18, which then continued throughout the weekend. Temperatures sank as low as -1 degree 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.

Here’s How You Can Help People Experiencing Homelessness During the Polar Vortex
As a polar vortex sweeps across the Midwest, many people bundle up inside, hands over heaters, hidden away from subzero temperatures. But some citizens are left in the cold. Record-breaking temperatures lower than Siberia, the Arctic, and even Mars have already led to the deaths of eight people - and more than 80,000 people remain on the streets fighting to not just stay warm but to stay alive.
In Chicago, one anonymous donor went viral for picking up the hotel tab for 70 people experiencing homelessness after they were evacuated from a tent city at risk of exploding propane tanks, according to the Chicago Tribune. We may not all have the means to go to such incredible lengths, but there are plenty of ways you can help. Ahead are resources so you can aid those without adequate shelter.
