Dun Dun! The 10 Best Law & Order: SVU Episodes to Watch ASAP
Dun dun: No sound is more recognizable on television than the Law & Order intro bars, and the spinoff, Special Victims Unit, has been on air for 21 seasons now. Beginning with its lead Detective Olivia Benson (played by Mariska Hargitay) and her OG partner Detective Elliot Stabler (played by Christopher Meloni) the SVU detectives of New York City have made their way into our hearts and homes for decades. So many seasons have given us a lot of amazing stories and episodes to think about year after year. Whether it's the episode where we get to see Fin's family dynamic up-close, or when Benson finally takes down her tormentor, there's so much to talk about.
But which episodes are the best? We've narrowed it down to the top 10, none of which have photos available! So take a look and brace yourself for drama, sex crimes, and pictures that are almost comically unrelated to the plot of each episode (because photo rights are a real thing).

Welp, It Doesn't Get Much Cuter Than Target's $5 Succulent Pumpkins
Real succulent-filled pumpkins are undeniably adorable, but they require quite the savvy green thumb to properly carve, plant, and nurture. Luckily, Target knows the struggle of keeping real plants alive, so the retailer has blessed us with a collection of faux succulent pumpkins ahead of Halloween. Currently stocked in Target's affordable Bullseye's Playground section, the Fall-inspired arrangements feature a handful of tiny artificial plants nestled inside either an orange, yellow, blue, or white pumpkin. The cute table toppers cost just $5 each (or $10 for a two-pack online), making them damn near impossible to resist.
These aren't the only Fall-ready plants Target is tempting shoppers with this year. The store is also selling spooky all-black succulents and ferns, in addition to its beloved $3 Halloween succulents from Hyde and Eek! Boutique. If you need us, you can find us tossing all of the above in our red shopping carts this weekend.
Ho Ho Holy Smokes, Bath & Body Works Already Released Some Holiday Products
Folks, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Now, repeat this process a few times until you're feeling nice and calm. What calls for the impromptu breathing exercise, you ask? Well, we thought you might need it considering Bath & Body Works already dropped a slew of its highly anticipated holiday products in the middle of freakin' October. The beloved bodycare retailer oh-so-casually released a collection of lotions, creams, shower gels, candles, fragrance mists, and hand soaps in festive scents like Frosted Coconut Snowball, Vanilla Bean Noel, and Winter Candy Apple, and we truly can't pick a favorite.
There is a slight catch to this merry news, however: the wintery items will only be available for purchase via the Bath & Body Works Christmas Pop-Up Shop online until Oct. 11, after which they'll disappear until the holiday season gets closer. To make the shopping process even easier for you, we've compiled all of the limited-time products below - you can thank us later. Time to make some room in those bathroom cupboards.

The "Castle Bob" is Here To Reclaim Its Stake In the Realm of Haircut Trends
Looong before Kim Kardashian debuted a freshly chopped bob haircut late last week, and definitely before Hailey Baldwin, Jordyn Woods, and little sister Kylie Jenner lobbed it off a few months before that, it was Coco Chanel, Louise Brooks, and the OG trailblazer behind the bob hairstyle as we've come to know it, Irene Castle, who set the trend.
The 1920s cut was a feminist nod to the fight for gender equality; a form of social rebellion that depicted both strength and power. Now, the "castle bob" - as it was so popularly called - is getting a modern update for the season: "It's fashion-forward but still has a classic air, with strong angles and straight lines," said celebrity hairstylist and Garnier brand ambassador Tommy Buckett. This look is fresh and crisp, like Fall. People are wearing more clothes, turtlenecks, and collared shirts, which showcase the hairstyle very well. It can be styled with or without bangs."
This year's "castle bob" is sharp, blunt, yet smooth all the same - and the complete opposite of the shaggier, free-flowing cuts we've been seeing of late. "It's a very versatile look and can be styled in so many ways – waved, straight, textured, pulled apart. It instantly gives you a style, even if you're not trying." (Because why would you be, when you're busy ruling the world?)

Everything You Need to Know About Joker If You Refuse to See It in Theaters
For various reasons, I know a lot of people aren't willing to go see Joker in theaters. After seeing the film, directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, I can say I understand why there's so much controversy floating around this film in the current political and societal climate - at its core, it's about a man who struggles with his mental health, is constantly sh*t on by the world, and retaliates in the most violent ways. In today's landscape, it's absolutely terrifying.
If you don't feel like going to the theater to see Joker, never fear: I did all the work for you by putting together a list of the major plot points that happen in the film. You'll get the overall gist of the movie without ever leaving the comfort of your couch or needing to hear Phoenix's uncomfortable, uncontrollable laugh for yourself. (Maybe you can check it out once it lands on Netflix at some point.) Needless to say, there are a ton of spoilers ahead for Joker, so beware.

How to Turn Off Your Brain Before Bed, So You Can Finally Get a Good Night's Sleep
You may be physically exhausted when you get into bed at night, but if your mind is racing, there's a good chance you'll have trouble falling asleep. That's why it's so important to find ways to unwind before bed, so you can quiet those thoughts and get a full night of restful sleep. Melissa Bernbaum, MD, a neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine at Huntington Hospital in New York, told POPSUGAR that this process actually starts hours before bedtime.
In addition to avoiding daytime naps, Dr. Bernbaum recommends cutting off caffeine around noon if you're typically in bed at 10 p.m. "There are some people who say that caffeine doesn't prevent them from falling asleep, [but] it may actually decrease deep sleep," she explained. Starting at least an hour before bedtime, power down any devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. You should also try to avoid anything that causes stress in the evenings, including work. "While some of us have jobs that require working from home at times, try to avoid any non-urgent work related activities prior to bedtime," Dr. Bernbaum advised.

If you're constantly on the go, you may only have time to worry once you're lying down - so, to combat this, Dr. Bernbaum suggests picking a designated time earlier in the evening to work through anything that's on your mind. "This may include making a to-do list for the next day or writing down a list of problems with a solution for each one," she said. "This way, [when you're] getting in bed, you can feel reassured that you have already dealt with your stresses."
Once that's done - and at least 30 minutes before bed - Dr. Bernbaum recommends switching to a relaxing activity, such as reading a book or practicing meditation.
You might also try yoga or light stretching, which can reduce stress and anxiety and promote sleepiness, explained Kent Smith, D-ABDSM, ASBA, president of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy and founding director of Sleep Dallas. More intense exercise may do the opposite, though, so wrap up those cardio sessions at least two hours before bed.

Dragun Beauty's Latest Launch Is Basically Magic In the Form of a 6-Pan Face Palette
Nikita Dragun has left me inspired on many occasions. I don't say that as a fan of the YouTuber, even though I've watched her greet her "draguns" from her bedroom since, well, I was in my dorm room. I say that as a beauty editor, makeup lover, and woman who believes in the power of makeup as a way to help others feel like their best selves and express themselves creatively.
Dragun recently released what she called her Dragun Beauty Face Palette ($45) and credited her journey as a transgender woman building her brand as the inspiration behind it. While that alone made me want to rip the outer packaging of her palette and dive right into the pressed powders, it was her tribute to her mother that made me even more excited to try it. My mother was, after all, the person who spurred my love of makeup and made me the woman I am today.
Once I got my hands on the palette, I flipped open its purple case - which features a 3D, anime-inspired illustration of Nikita Dragun's face - to six pans of powders. It contains two bronzer shades (Fem, which is a light caramel color, and Surge, a dark cocoa), two peach-pink blushes (T Girl, which has a fine shimmer, and BB Girl, which has a matte finish), and two highlighters (Fantasy, which is a cool lavender with a fine shimmer and Silicone, which is gold with slightly chunkier sparkle). After sweeping my finger across each of the pans, I found that the powders were both silky and pigmented. They blended seamlessly into my medium-tan skin tone. I picked up a mix of both Surge and Fem with a contour brush and swept it along my jawline, cheekbones, and the bridge of my nose before buffing it out. Then, I lightly tapped BB Girl and T Girl onto the apples of my cheeks. This bronzed, glowy makeup look is one I would typically wear to work. To make it even more eye-catching, I used a fluffy highlighter blush to add one of the vibrant highlighter hues.
I was surprised to find that I preferred Fantasy over Silicone. I typically gravitate toward golden highlighters, but the lavender gave my cheeks a subtle element of magic.
Like, I said, she's left me inspired on different occasions. With this one, I'm driven to try bolder hues along my cheekbones. Check out the palette, ahead.
