Having a Destination Wedding? Here's How to Make Your Marriage Legal in the US
Whether you're saying "I do" in the Italian hills of Tuscany or on a beautifully sandy beach on a Caribbean island, destination weddings have the ability to add a bit more magic to an already special day. However, tying the knot outside of the US adds another layer of complication, and it's important when planning to not forget some of the details. One big one? Making your marriage legal at home before or after getting married abroad.
POPSUGAR spoke to David Reischer, Esq., attorney and CEO of LegalAdvice.com, to get his expert advice on the subject. "It's extremely complicated and not practical to get married in a foreign country and to then try to get the foreign marriage validated in the United States," explained Reischer. Thankfully, there are a few simple alternatives that couples can choose from that can make the whole process much easier. For instance, Reischer suggested couples get legally married in a US court house either before or after their destination wedding. "A couple can make their destination wedding legal at home by getting married again in the United States upon return from abroad," he continued. "The couple can also get married in the United States before the destination wedding."
However, Reischer acknowledged that the obvious disadvantage of a couple legally tying the knot before their destination wedding may be that they'll feel like they're jeopardizing the romantic aspect of their big ceremony. If you're worried about this, he advised getting legally married when you return from your destination wedding.
"Many couples decide to go to the county clerk and remarry once returning to the United States from their destination wedding," he said. "All a couple has to do is get a marriage license from the county clerk, then go to city hall or hire a legal official who is allowed to perform legal ceremonies in the city where the couple reside." By deciding on legalizing their marriage this way, couples will not have to translate foreign paperwork and there will be no need for blood tests in a foreign country. "It's extremely less complicated and cheaper to get married for a second time upon returning from a destination wedding and this is what most people do," Reischer said.
These 7 Condoms Will All Give Max Pleasure, but We've Still Ranked Them From Most to Least
Turns out, people aren't using condoms nearly as much as they should. According to a recent survey among 1,000 participants at Adam & Eve, 63 percent claimed to not regularly use condoms. What's more, only 34 percent of women and 23 percent men requested them. Yikes. This is a problem, as STIs are on the rise, and condoms help protect you from transmission. Basically, unless you're in a monogamous relationship and have both been tested or you've had the talk with a partner, you really should be using condoms every time you have sex. Just because sex is safe doesn't make it any less enjoyable! In fact, it's even more enjoyable, simply because you can end that frisky session knowing your health hasn't been compromised.
Yet, condoms get a bad reputation for being uncomfortable and blocking many of those feel-good sensations that make sex so incredible. Plus, it's not just men who complain about them but women, too, as shown in the survey in particular. Still, they're needed, and with the right education, you can find a condom that fits well and doesn't decrease those sensations one bit. Some condoms even have nifty features, like ribbed texture, flavors, and more, all of which can enhance your sexual experience. "Condoms come in different thickness, which can impact the degree of sensation a male feels, and condoms can be smooth or textured, creating different experiences for the partners," Dr. Felice Gersh, MD, an OB-GYN and author of SOS: A Gynecologist's Lifeline To Naturally Restore Your Rhythms, Hormones, and Happiness, told POPSUGAR. "Trying out different textures can be rewarding."
Here are the best condoms to use for maximum pleasure, recommended by Gersh, who added: "Having a condom that fits well is a number-one priority. If not just the right snugness, it could slip off, create too much constriction, or not provide proper contact."
This Transparent Bubble Hotel in Bali Is Pretty Magical - Oh, and It's Just Over $100 a Night
An unconventional hotel in Bali offers guests privacy and seclusion in a way that feels absolutely exposing. The Bubble Hotel consists of a few completely transparent domes hidden among a lush landscape. The hotel is fairly minimalist in that each actual bubble really just fits a bed and a mini fridge, and guests have to be pretty comfortable with the outdoors because the shower and toilet are located outside.
The hotel operates through Airbnb, and there are currently seven bubbles available at varying prices. Bubbles start at $104 a night, depending on the season, and the more expensive $200 ones have a small pool and net to lounge above the trees. For an additional fee, the hotel also offers experiences like massages, stargazing, games, and even professional photography for all those Instagram photos you'll definitely want to take. Are you somehow in need of more convincing? See photos from those who have paid a visit to the Bubble Hotel ahead.
So, Here's the Thing: Disney Is Selling a Mickey Burger That's Topped With 2 Sliders
Disney is currently offering a three-pronged burger in the shape of Mickey Mouse - really, would you expect a regular-old burger with all the usual fixings? As part of the Get Your Ears On celebration taking place this Spring at Disneyland, Smokejumpers Grill - technically located in Disney California Adventure - introduced the Share Your Ears Cheeseburger, which is a third-pound burger that is then topped with two sliders.
While the menu addition is truly over the top, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that Walt Disney World recently gave us a beignet cheeseburger. (Yes, that's a patty between two beignet "buns" - precisely.) The Share Your Ears Cheeseburger will be available through May, or while supplies last, for $15. See pictures of the crazy creation ahead.

Whether your crew prefers to get a little wild in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, or relax and unwind in Bali, we've selected the amazing getaways for 2019 that every girl in your crew will love!
100+ Adorable Tattoos That Are Appropriate For Work
In many workplaces, a bold line stands between creative expression and professional presentation. As a result, many write off the idea of getting inked, because their managers wouldn't stand for it, they'd lose sales/money/clients, or they simply wouldn't be taken seriously at the office. But tattoos and career ambition aren't mutually exclusive. Most of us know this; however, company policy usually doesn't.
If you have true tattoo lust but are worried about what the boss might say, never fear: we've rounded up the best work-appropriate tats we could find. These bad boys are either in obscure bodily locations or can be easily covered up by concealer, clothes, or shoes. Take a look, and go for the ink.

McDonald's Donut Sticks Are *Temporarily* Here to Make Your Mornings a Little Sweeter
McDonald's is now in the doughnut-making business, and Dunkin' Donuts might have some competition. From sweet potato fries in Australia to cheesy potato bites and Instagram-worthy McFloats in Japan, McDonald's has pioneered treats for fast-food-lovers worldwide. Now, the fast-food giant is sending some love to its United States fans with new cinnamon sugar McCafé Donut Sticks. These indulgent churro-style treats are available on the McDonald's breakfast menu as of Feb. 20 for a limited time, because the world can only handle so much fried, doughy goodness.
The crispy doughnuts are made fresh each morning at participating McDonald's locations and sold by the dozen and half-dozen. McDonald's customers can even get a special discount when pairing a half-dozen Donut Sticks with a small McCafé brewed coffee for only $1.99, similar to Dunkin' Donuts' $2 deal. So for anyone who's already a fan of the restaurant's bakery items - like McDonald's morning coffee cakes and muffin toppers - cinnamon sugar doughnuts are really the only logical step forward, right?
McDonald's originally began testing the Donut Sticks in early 2018 and again in October 2018 in select Illinois restaurants. Now, the long-rumored sweet treats are officially available nationwide for all McDonald's fans to enjoy. So get 'em while they're hot!
Anthropologie Just Dropped Its Most Gorgeous Collection to Date, So There Goes My Tax Return

Pillsbury's New Marshmallow Cookies Are 1 Drizzle of Chocolate Away From a S'more
The Pillsbury Doughboy is back at it again with his cute little laugh and more extra large cookies than our wallets can handle - this time in the form of Marshmallow Sugar Cookies! In a truly sweet post, Candy Hunting shared the news of the launch on Instagram and explained that the ready-to-bake cookies are marshmallow and sugar cookie-flavored, with little bits of actual marshmallow in every bite. With a drizzle of chocolate on top, they're basically the s'more cookie we all want (and deserve).
And that's not even the best part! While typical ready-to-make Pillsbury cookie dough is sold with 24 cookies per package, the Marshmallow Sugar Cookies will be sold at 12 cookies per package - which means they're going to be BIG. According to Best Products, the limited-edition cookies will go on sale beginning March 1 at retailers across the country, including Target, Walmart, Kroger, Wegmans, Meijer, and Hy-Vee. With little pockets of marshmallowy goodness baked right into each cookie, I can only imagine that they are going to be the perfect treat to pair with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

Get Ready to Bookmark the 2 Dope Queens' Self-Care Advice and Revisit It on the Daily
Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams might be saying goodbye to 2 Dope Queens after its upcoming second season, but they're doing anything but disappearing. The duo, who vaulted their popular podcast to a series of HBO specials, are bringing the project to an end after its second season for a good reason: they're just too damn busy with their various books, TV writing gigs, and movie roles. (In fact, Jessica's latest film, Corporate Animals, is making its debut at the Sundance Film Festival.)
We caught up with Jessica and Phoebe at an HBO brunch in their honor at Sundance, where we also witnessed a panel discussion between the dopest of queens and CNN political commentator Angela Rye. The panel covered everything from hair braiding and beatboxing to Michelle Obama - a former guest on the podcast - whom Jessica said "was very hydrated. Her skin was like mmmmmmm. Like when you bite into candied yams and you're like, 'These are amazing.'"
Speaking of women in politics, our interview happened on a notable day in the news, with Sen. Kamala Harris officially kicking off her presidential campaign. During her conversation with Jessica and Phoebe, Angela wondered about the sexism and racism we've already seen lobbed at Harris.
"It's been so interesting to me to see the number of sheer haters she had just out the gate, and a lot of it's not even based on real information," Angela said. "How afraid are you all that folks aren't doing their research and finding out what's real and what's not? It doesn't mean that people don't deserve to be critiqued - all of us do. But people need to be critiqued on the facts."
Phoebe answered: "I think as much as liberals really mean well and they really want to hold people accountable, I think a lot of times there's a quickness to be like, 'If you're not perfect, you're canceled.'" That relevant insight was just one of many we heard Sunday afternoon - read on for our conversation with Phoebe and Jessica about self-care, #MeToo, and playing the flute with Lizzo.
POPSUGAR: This next season of 2 Dope Queens is going to be your last, and you have a fantastic lineup of guests - Lupita Nyong'o, Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzo, Janet Mock, Keegan-Michael Key . . . Did you think, "OK, this is our last season. We really want to accomplish XYZ" or "We really want to have this person on"?
Jessica Williams: We knew we just wanted to have some really good shows. We tried to do everything we did on the first season but take it to the next level. We tried to make sure that we kept and honored what 2 Dope Queens always was - even in podcast form at WNYC - while also just having a different set, working with new comics, and getting all these guests that we love. We just really tried to make sure we were still having fun.
Phoebe Robinson: Yeah, it was really good and I think the audience was really excited about it. Season one, you're doing HBO - you just wanna make sure you don't break the thing - and now we're at a place where we're like, HBO trusts us, we had a great first four episodes, so let's just go for it with the themes, the wardrobe, the guests. I think the Lizzo interview was so fun. She has such great energy.
PS: There's some actual fluting that takes place? Is fluting a verb? I don't know.
PR: Yeah! We did some flauting? Some fluting? It was just cool to have it be this really fun party.
PS: You've both been really open about the fact that you're juggling tons of projects and you're both super busy, which is why you're saying goodbye. One of the things my coworkers and I wanted to know is if you have any great self-care tips with that in mind.
PR: My two things are, first, I like to work out. I know that sounds lame, but it's really good. If you're riding a bike, it's like, I'm not on the phone, I'm not scrolling Instagram, I'm not talking to a friend, so you can really focus on that. I've also been doing a lot of charity stuff, too, because I think self-care is great to recharge your own batteries, but it's also good to then put that energy toward someone else - a person who actually needs it a lot. So I've been working a lot with [bread and water?] You can volunteer at a soup kitchen or whatever. Giving back makes it feel like a community, because technology has separated us in a lot of ways, and so doing that sort of thing reminds you we're all in this together. We're all a family.
JW: Definitely what Phoebe said. I love therapy, so I go to therapy once a week. Even when I'm traveling, I still do phone sessions. I think it's hobbies, also, that bring you joy. I do pottery, painting. And staying active. I love boxing, so I box quite a bit. I have endometriosis, which hasn't been great, but it has really forced me to stop and reconsider what my self-care really is. So, I had to do things like watch what I've been eating, and eat less soy, and be sure not to beat myself up for the way my body is feeling that day. And also to take time with friends. That's really important: friendship time with people who really understand you and hold you tight.
PS: Phoebe, you did an Instagram video recently about walking out of a club set when you found out there was an accused abuser on the bill. And we've seen other guys in comedy try to stage a comeback, like, five minutes after they've been accused. Do you think comedy as a space has been particularly resistant to #MeToo?
PR: I think it's just more that, [at] comedy clubs, there's no HR. He was unannounced. The club booked him - the person who was running the show didn't book him. I saw he was there, and I was just like, this doesn't feel right to me. And I think if we want to not perform with sexual predators and abusers, we also have to take the stand to be like, well, I just won't perform that show.
People were like, "Aw, it sucks that you lost stage time!" I didn't lose stage time. This is bigger than comedy. Everyone, obviously, has to make their own decisions. But for me, I don't feel comfortable performing on stage with an alleged rapist. That's just not what I'm interested in. I think it's disrespectful to the audience members who didn't know that was happening, it's disrespectful to sexual assault victims, and it's disrespectful to the other comics on the lineup. That was just what I felt in the moment. I was like, I don't have to participate in this . . . I think in general because there isn't HR, it's tricky. People are like, I don't have to do the right thing. I can just sort of chase money, or this is my friend, or I have forgiven him, or whatever the case may be. I think that's what makes it hard for the comedy world to flat out be like, this is unacceptable. Because it's just the wild wild west in a lot of ways.
JW: Great movie, also. [Laughs]
2 Dope Queens is back on HBO on Feb. 8 with guest Lupita Nyong'o.

Lady Gaga's Net Worth Just Made Me Choke on My Lunch
Lady Gaga doesn't do anything in small ways. From her glam, now-occasionally outlandish outfits to her insane vocals, Gaga's presence is always unmistakable both on and off the stage. It should come as no surprise, then, that her net worth as of 2019 is equally not-small. In fact, Gaga's net worth is already up to the nine digits, even though she's only in her early thirties. Impressed? So are we.
Celebrity finance tracker Celebrity Net Worth reports Gaga's most recent net worth as $300 million. For the most part, her bank account has grown thanks to her astonishing music career over the course of the last decade. Her first album, The Fame, was released in 2008, and she hasn't looked back since, with five studio albums, plus several EPs and compilations albums that have all become massive hits.
Lady Gaga has always been a born performer, with massive production values behind some of her biggest hit songs and music videos, so it really does make a lot of sense that her concert tours have netted plenty of paychecks too, since everyone loves a good show. AOL reports that Gaga's first tour, 2008's "The Fame Ball," earned $3.15 million, while her 2009-2011 "Monster Ball" tour brought in $227.4 million. The "Born This Way Ball" tour, which took place from 2012 to 2013, garnered $382.3 million, and her 2014 "Artpop" tour grossed $257.1 million.
In early 2018, Billboard reported the final numbers from her "Joanne" tour, which was cut short due to Gaga encountering issues with chronic pain and fibromyalgia, and they were pretty remarkable too. Even with a shortened schedule, the tour reportedly grossed around $95 million over the course of 49 performances. Billboard's report also noted that the "Joanne" tour had the highest per-venue average of all her tours: 7 percent higher than on "Born This Way," 28 percent higher than "Monster Ball," and 35 percent more than "ArtRave."
Of course, she's also raked in the profits from her album sales. Her three most popular albums are The Fame(8.8 million copies sold), Born This Way (3.8 million copies), and Artpop (1.4 million copies). And that's not even counting her singles, remixes, and more!
Gaga's career hasn't solely been in the recording studio or on the stage, though. She starred in the Hotel season of American Horror Story back in 2015 - her first major acting gig, and one that probably came with a respectable paycheck, given that she was already an A-list singer by the time AHS came calling. And of course, she's established herself as an actress with her role as Ally in A Star Is Born, which has netted her several nominations for best actress, including an Oscar nom.
Forbes reported that she made over $50 million in 2018 alone, a large portion of which likely came from her contributions - both as an actress and as a songwriter - to A Star Is Born. While it remains to be seen if she'll take home any Oscar hardware, Gaga has already taken home plenty of rewards for her hard work!
Bad News: Kit Harington May Be Taking a Bit of a Break After Game of Thrones
Jon Snow may know nothing, but to us, he's everything. Thirty-two-year-old English actor Kit Harington has portrayed the incredibly sexy Lord Commander of the Watch on Game of Thrones for almost a decade now, and it's difficult to imagine him doing anything other than guarding the Wall and battling White Walkers (especially since Harington married his onscreen lover, Rose Leslie, who played wildling Ygritte). But as the premiere of GoT's season eight approaches, we must acknowledge that Jon Snow's watch will soon end. So what exactly is next for Harington?
As heartbroken as we are about losing the Lord Commander, Harington himself is ready to ditch his furs and sword to take on new roles. "I'd like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognizable as the character, and go and do some other things with a completely new look and tone," Harington told Entertainment Weekly. He added, "I can't go into my next role looking the same. This role was brilliant, but I'll need to get rid of Jon Snow."
While filming GoT, Harington took on several roles outside the world of Westeros, starring in films such as 2014's Pompeii, 2016's Brimstone, and 2018's The Death and Life of John F. Donovan. However, we're sorry to say that Harington doesn't currently have any film roles lined up for after GoT airs its final season. Filming for the last season was grueling, Harington admits, because even though it is only composed of six episodes, it took nearly a full year in Belfast to film, since every episode is practically the length of a movie. One battle scene with the Army of the Dead even took 55 nights to film, so it's understandable if Harington needs a little break.
"The last season of Thrones seemed to be designed to break us," he told GQ Australia. "Everyone was broken at the end. I don't know if we were crying because we were sad it was ending or if we were crying because it was so f*cking tiring."
Instead of film or television, Harington returned to his theater roots in November of last year, and he is currently in London costarring with Lovesick's Johnny Flynn as battling brothers Austin and Lee in the West End premiere of Sam Shepard's True West. The show will run though the end of February, telling the story of two brothers attempting to sell movie scripts to the same Hollywood producer. Madeleine Potter also appears, playing the brothers' mother, as well as Donald Sage Mackay, who plays Hollywood producer Saul Kimmer.
Though you won't see him in it, you can still hear Harington in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the final installment in the How to Train Your Dragon film trilogy, which will hit theaters on Feb. 22. In it, Harington voices Eret, who he also voiced in the 2014 sequel.
No matter what other projects Harrington takes on in the future, we know there's one place where you definitely won't find him: the GoT prequel. As he told BBC, "It was a huge emotional upheaval leaving that family. But would I want to go back and do more? Not on your life."

12 Grey's Anatomy Episodes Where Sandra Oh Shone as Cristina Yang
Sandra Oh has been making fanfare all throughout award season with her spectacular performance as Eve Polastri on BBC America's sexy crime thriller, Killing Eve. Besides this career-defining role, many TV viewers may know Oh from ABC's Grey's Anatomy as the tough-as-nails heart surgeon Cristina Yang, who might be more of a straight-talker than Eve, but is just as wonderfully nuanced. Oh graced the medical drama for ten seasons, portraying arguably one of the best characters on the show (and on television).
While Grey's fans love Meredith's sisterhood with Maggie and Amelia, it's hard to ever forget the brilliance that is her person, Cristina, who supports her, pushes her, and above all, always gives her the unadulterated truth. Here are 12 Cristina Yang-centered episodes of the series that showcase Oh's talent, whether you're looking to relive Grey's finest moments or want to learn about this seminal role without having to binge 300+ episodes of the never-ending series.
Game of Thrones Theory: There's a Totally Unexpected Cleganebowl Coming
The hype for Cleganebowl has been building since before Game of Thrones premiered on HBO (book fans, represent!). Fans want to see The Hound and The Mountain's long-awaited battle in hopes that The Hound finally gets some justice for the pain his brother has caused him and others. It doesn't matter that his big brother is basically a zombie now thanks to Qyburn's intervention; the season seven scene in which the Clegane brothers come face to face for the first time in years just reawakened everyone's hope that The Hound will get his vengeance. But, what if Cleganebowl turns out to be about the brothers fighting together instead of against each other? Inconceivable, right? Not so fast.
Reddit user jazzmanround's new Game of Thrones theory offers up a pretty convincing argument as to why The Hound and The Mountain may find themselves on the same team before the series ends. Right now, The Hound is in the North, focusing on fighting the Night King's army like the rest of Jon Snow and Daenerys's band of comrades. But he makes it clear to his brother that one day he - or something - is coming for him during their one-sided season seven conversation. His exact words to The Mountain are, "This isn't how it ends for you, brother. You know who's coming for you, you've always known."
The implication is that The Hound and The Mountain have always been on a collision course with destiny, but they may have to take a brief detour before they get to the whole trying-to-kill-each-other bit. Jazzmanround writes:
"In season 5 episode 10, Qyburn's ritual finally finishes and the Mountain has risen from the grave. Qyburn tells Cersei that the undead Mountain will survive until all of her enemies have fallen.
My prediction is that the Mountain will play a key role in the final season when Cersei has no other choice but to defend her allies (whomever they may be) against the White Walkers. The opposite of the Clegain Bowl will happen. The Hound and the Mountain will fight together to save the world!!!!!!!!!!"
In short, the threat of the White Walkers will lead to The Mountain and The Hound fighting side by side, uniting the Clegane brothers against a common enemy, even if it's only temporary. The only flaw in the theory is that Qyburn never says that the Mountain will survive until all of Cersei's enemies have fallen. What the maester actually says is that the undead member of the Queensguard will remain silent until all of her enemies have been destroyed. That's a small quibble for what's otherwise an intriguing theory that could lead to an entirely different kind of Cleganbowl. Imagine the awesomeness of seeing The Hound and The Mountain taking down members of the Night King's army shoulder-to-shoulder. It would be a triumphant moment for two brothers who have been consumed by animosity since childhood.
But just because they could end up fighting together to protect the realm, that doesn't mean The Hound will give up on his goal to pay back his brother for disfiguring him when he was a child. Once the battle is over, the Cleganebowl that fans have been waiting for could still happen, but there's no harm in the show taking an unexpected detour along the way.

Hallelujah, I Finally Found the Perfect Foundation - It Covers My Blemishes and Stays on Forever
I'm incredibly particular about my liquid foundation. I have spent over a decade searching for the perfect option that ticks all my boxes, and had very little luck - until now. When I was out of my own usual choice, I asked my sister if I could use some of hers for the day. She's a total beauty junkie, and I knew she'd have something great for me to use. She gave me just one pump of her beloved Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation ($40), and I thought she was being stingy, but it was all I needed for full coverage on my face.
The formula is creamy and smooth, yet it covers every blemish with just one layer.
After one day of wearing it, I ran out and bought a bottle of my own. The formula is creamy and smooth, yet it covers every blemish with just one layer. I use shade 0.5 because I have very fair skin. Fortunately, the product comes in a wide variety of hues, so there's an option for most skin tones.
One of the many reasons why I'm obsessed with this foundation is that it diffuses light to blur flaws as it mattifies and absorbs oil. Basically, it's the ultimate multitasker. I use a powder cover-up to set the product, and I'm good to go. After one application in the morning, my face looks flawless well into the evening.
If you're in the market for a new liquid foundation, I'm begging you to give this one a try. Just one bottle lasts me months, so it's an investment you can feel good about. I will certainly be running back for more!
These Negative Space Nails Are the Only Negativity You Should Have in Your Life
Looking to mix up the usual solid color on your nails? Skip the base coat altogether and go for negative space nail art - but make it fresh for 2019.
The new take on the trend is a simple, yet eye-catching way to change up your nails and experiment with different designs. Dots, dashes, stripes, stars, and more can be painted over your natural nails (or a clear or nude base coat) of nail polish. Whether the nail art of your choice is more neutral-tone or bold, it's all in the details.
Scroll ahead for plenty of negative space nail inspiration to bring to your next manicure appointment.
Here's What the New Shades of Huda Beauty's Smudge-Proof Eye Shadows Look Like
Huda Beauty's smudge-proof eye shadow is back in five new color duos. On one end of the Huda Beauty Matte and Metal Melted Shadow ($25), you'll find a pastel shade (which comes in a cool mint green, a bright bubblegum pink, a warm terracota, and more) that dries down matte. The other end houses a liquid that suspends finely milled glitters. The pigments easily build on with a few sweeps and dry down to never budge - even if you have ultraoily lids. See our swatches of the new shadows ahead.
10 Very Reasonable Guesses For What Glossier's New Brand Could Be
This year has already brought us explosive celebrity drama and a go-to hairstyle, and now 2019 is bringing us an entirely new brand called Glossier Play. There's no news yet about what the company has in store, but we've got word from its team that it will launch sometime in March.
In the meantime, we have some ideas of what we think Glossier Play could be:
- Sexual wellness products that moisturize your intimate parts
- Beauty products for child Instagram bloggers
- Pigmented makeup for the gazillion people who weren't born with "Glossier skin"
- Makeup-themed chew toys for pet parents
- Video games to fill the very empty market for beauty-loving gamers
- Vibrators for . . . well, you know
- Tinted nail polishes, because why not?
- Mini makeup-themed toys, similar to Shopkins
- Millennial-pink athleisure embossed with the illustrious Glossier logo
- A record label for artists who exclusively wear Glossier
Can't wait until next month? Ahead, you'll find some of our favorite products that are available now.
North West Wore Trendy Neon Eyeliner, So I'm Officially Taking Notes From a 5-Year-Old
North West just landed her first-ever magazine cover. (Yes, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's 5-year-old daughter - that North West.) The celebrity child is starring in WWD's Beauty Inc. issue, which explores Generation Z and Alpha's inevitable effect on the beauty industry. Generation Z is typically defined by people born between 1995 and 2009, while Generation Alphas are those born after 2010. Born in 2013, West represents the future of beauty consumers, the publication asserts.
In the playful editorial, West wears hot pink eyeliner that's not unlike the neon eye makeup her aunt Kendall Jenner has been trying out lately. In fact, one of the family's go-to artists, Mary Phillips, did West's makeup for the shoot. The eyeliner color, however, was apparently selected by West herself, according to a tweet from Kim Kardashian. Meanwhile, hairstylist Chris Appleton styled West's hair in spunky pigtails and space buns.
While she is incredibly young, the cover isn't all too surprising: Kardashian has previously said West wants to be a makeup artist, and the mother-daughter duo even once shared a joint "tutorial," which truthfully involved a lot of foundation and a brief temper tantrum. Kardashian received some criticism when she allowed West to wear red lipstick on Christmas Eve, but the mom explained it was a "special occasion."
Following this exciting first, Kardashian proudly shared the editorial on Instagram and said, "My most stylish and beautiful baby girl . . . She loves fashion and beauty and has so much fun doing this." See all the photos ahead.

A New Collection Is Coming: Game of Thrones Is Teaming Up With Urban Decay
Urban Decay just announced an upcoming collaboration with HBO's Game of Thrones via Instagram. "WE ARE READY ⚔️ #FORTHETHRONE #URBANDECAY," was the caption for the brand's first promotion. While no details have been confirmed, the model is wearing a graphic teal winged liner with matching blue shadow dusted underneath her eyes. The second promotion post was even hotter, previewing a shimmering bronze eye and lip. Urban Decay announced that the collection will be launching this April, and we have a feeling fire beauty looks will be coming.
Ashley Graham’s New Haircut Is Inspo Enough to Chop Your Hair Short
Whether you give her rhinestone freckles or have her stand in a shoot fresh-faced, Ashley Graham manages to make every beauty look she tries seem effortless. Last night, she took the lob - the versatile haircut that celebs often gravitate toward - to the next level.
Celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan posted a photo of the model with her new haircut. "Your favorite bombshell just got a chop ✂️," she said in her caption before asking, "What do you think of @ashleygraham's new short 'do??" Our answer: we love it.
Ahead, see photos of Graham with her new lob.
This Ear-Piercing Trend Is About to Blow Up, and It'll Have You Seeing Triple
Should you believe in the age-old philosophy that the best things in life come in threes - and, if Hansen, BLTs, and the Sanderson sisters are anything to go by, it's only logical that you do - then the biggest ear-piercing trend of 2019 will come as little surprise. "One look that is heavily on the rise, and one of my favorites to do, is doing them in triplets," said Ben Tauber, a piercer at Maria Tash in NYC.
That is, creating a constellation trio of piercings - not that this is limited to where, or how, you place them. "I've noticed people getting more adventurous and really pushing the limit with these," he said. "Where someone might traditionally do two helix piercings or a first and second hole on their lobe, they're instead doing sets of three. Or, they are doing sets of three in the flats of their upper ear and creating this beautiful flow with amazing jewelry. This has also branched out to people doing my personal favorite: sets of three in a triangle. I absolutely love those and think that will have an even larger presence in the piercing world this year."
If two is company, then three's a crowd - and the inspiration photos ahead might just convince you to join the party.
Oscars: Get a Load of the Early Beauty Looks From This Year's Best Actress Nominees
As we prepare for the 2019 Oscars, we can't help but reflect on how far all of the best actress nominees have come, both when it comes to their successful careers and (ahem) the many hair and makeup styles that have accompanied them through the years. (After all, with each award ceremony comes a new opportunity to reinvent yourself, and some of them have been in this business for decades.)
Thankfully for us, we still have access to many of the early photos to eliminate some of the guesswork. Will they stick to the script and go with one of their signature staples or opt to switch things up once again with a lip color or hairstyle that's out of their comfort zone? From breezy, sun-kissed California vibes to full-on smoke signals (and who could forget the many different - and very colorful - looks of one Miss Gaga?), click through to browse some of the beauty looks Glenn Close (The Wife), Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born), Olivia Colman (The Favourite), Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), and Yalitza Aparicio (Roma) wore to their earlier red carpet events.

This Transparent Bubble Hotel in Bali Is Pretty Magical - Oh, and It's Just Over $100 a Night
An unconventional hotel in Bali offers guests privacy and seclusion in a way that feels absolutely exposing. The Bubble Hotel consists of a few completely transparent domes hidden among a lush landscape. The hotel is fairly minimalist in that each actual bubble really just fits a bed and a mini fridge, and guests have to be pretty comfortable with the outdoors because the shower and toilet are located outside.
The hotel operates through Airbnb, and there are currently seven bubbles available at varying prices. Bubbles start at $104 a night, depending on the season, and the more expensive $200 ones have a small pool and net to lounge above the trees. For an additional fee, the hotel also offers experiences like massages, stargazing, games, and even professional photography for all those Instagram photos you'll definitely want to take. Are you somehow in need of more convincing? See photos from those who have paid a visit to the Bubble Hotel ahead.
So, Here's the Thing: Disney Is Selling a Mickey Burger That's Topped With 2 Sliders
Disney is currently offering a three-pronged burger in the shape of Mickey Mouse - really, would you expect a regular-old burger with all the usual fixings? As part of the Get Your Ears On celebration taking place this Spring at Disneyland, Smokejumpers Grill - technically located in Disney California Adventure - introduced the Share Your Ears Cheeseburger, which is a third-pound burger that is then topped with two sliders.
While the menu addition is truly over the top, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given that Walt Disney World recently gave us a beignet cheeseburger. (Yes, that's a patty between two beignet "buns" - precisely.) The Share Your Ears Cheeseburger will be available through May, or while supplies last, for $15. See pictures of the crazy creation ahead.

100+ Adorable Tattoos That Are Appropriate For Work
In many workplaces, a bold line stands between creative expression and professional presentation. As a result, many write off the idea of getting inked, because their managers wouldn't stand for it, they'd lose sales/money/clients, or they simply wouldn't be taken seriously at the office. But tattoos and career ambition aren't mutually exclusive. Most of us know this; however, company policy usually doesn't.
If you have true tattoo lust but are worried about what the boss might say, never fear: we've rounded up the best work-appropriate tats we could find. These bad boys are either in obscure bodily locations or can be easily covered up by concealer, clothes, or shoes. Take a look, and go for the ink.

McDonald's Donut Sticks Are *Temporarily* Here to Make Your Mornings a Little Sweeter
McDonald's is now in the doughnut-making business, and Dunkin' Donuts might have some competition. From sweet potato fries in Australia to cheesy potato bites and Instagram-worthy McFloats in Japan, McDonald's has pioneered treats for fast-food-lovers worldwide. Now, the fast-food giant is sending some love to its United States fans with new cinnamon sugar McCafé Donut Sticks. These indulgent churro-style treats are available on the McDonald's breakfast menu as of Feb. 20 for a limited time, because the world can only handle so much fried, doughy goodness.
The crispy doughnuts are made fresh each morning at participating McDonald's locations and sold by the dozen and half-dozen. McDonald's customers can even get a special discount when pairing a half-dozen Donut Sticks with a small McCafé brewed coffee for only $1.99, similar to Dunkin' Donuts' $2 deal. So for anyone who's already a fan of the restaurant's bakery items - like McDonald's morning coffee cakes and muffin toppers - cinnamon sugar doughnuts are really the only logical step forward, right?
McDonald's originally began testing the Donut Sticks in early 2018 and again in October 2018 in select Illinois restaurants. Now, the long-rumored sweet treats are officially available nationwide for all McDonald's fans to enjoy. So get 'em while they're hot!

In a truly sweet post, Candy Hunting shared the news of the launch on Instagram and explained that the ready-to-bake cookies are marshmallow and sugar cookie-flavored, with little bits of actual marshmallow in every bite. With a drizzle of chocolate on top, they're basically the s'more cookie we all want (and deserve).
And that's not even the best part! While typical ready-to-make Pillsbury cookie dough is sold with 24 cookies per package, the Marshmallow Sugar Cookies will be sold at 12 cookies per package - which means they're going to be BIG. According to Best Products, the limited-edition cookies will go on sale beginning March 1 at retailers across the country, including Target, Walmart, Kroger, Wegmans, Meijer, and Hy-Vee. With little pockets of marshmallowy goodness baked right into each cookie, I can only imagine that they are going to be the perfect treat to pair with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.
