Get to Know Rachel Naomi Hilson, the Talented Actress Who Plays Young Beth on This Is Us
This Is Us loves to play with different timelines, and as a result, we often get different actors playing the same characters. There have been many sets of the Big Three, but last season we were finally introduced to Beth's younger counterparts. In the Beth-centric episode, Akira Akbar played childhood Beth while Rachel Naomi Hilson portrayed the character in her teen years. While both young actresses brilliantly played the fan-favorite character, we were particularly blown away by how much Hilson resembled actress Susan Kelechi Watson, right down to the mannerisms!
"When I was watching her I was like, 'What? I do that?' What Rachel did was so amazing," Watson previously said about Hilson's portrayal of young Beth. "She helped contextualize Beth for me," adding that Hilson's performance helped her "to actually step outside of Beth and watch her so that I could be a bit objective."
Just like her character, Hilson is a trained dancer. She actually attended NYU, just like Watson and Sterling K. Brown. In addition to her role on This Is Us, the 23-year-old actress has previously appeared on The Good Wife, the short-lived musical drama Rise, and Kings. She is also set to star in the Disney+ TV adaptation of Love, Simon sometime next year. In the meantime, you can see more of her as teenage Beth later this season.
For So Long, I Really Struggled to Fall Asleep, and Then I Tried CBD and Lavender Together
I've always been a night owl. I stay up too late, and then I'm still so wired when I climb into bed that I struggle to fall asleep. As much as I know I should make bigger changes to my evening routine, that's easier said than done - so, when some CBD and lavender products arrived on my doorstep (a perk of being a journalist), I was eager to try them out.
While the effects of cannabidoil on sleep aren't well-researched, many people find that taking CBD helps ease stress and anxiety, which in turn helps them fall asleep and stay asleep.
Though a tincture is probably the most common way to take CBD before bed, I was most drawn to the topical products I received that combine CBD with lavender: Bluegrass Hemp Oil Calming Balm With Genesis Blend ($35), which is infused with both lavender and lemongrass, and Floyd's of Leadville Full-Spectrum Lavender Balm ($25 - $59), which is formulated to soothe sore muscles as well. I work out a lot, so my muscles are always achy, and I knew lavender oil can also be beneficial for sleep. "Studies suggest that lavender offers calming and soothing properties that can help reduce stress, which definitely helps to soothe you to sleep," explained Maggie Michalczyk, MS, RD - that's why people sprinkle a few drops of lavender oil on their pillow before bed. In fact, lavender has even been shown to improve insomnia, though more research is needed.
Armed with that knowledge, I set out to test that theory for myself. Every night, about an hour before I wanted to go to bed (apparently that's how long it takes for topicals to set), I lathered one of the balms on my body, got into my comfy PJs, and popped a squat on the couch, waiting for the effects of the CBD and lavender to kick in.
And let me tell you, I did feel totally relaxed, so much so that I shut off Netflix about 10 to 15 minutes after the balms kicked in, so I could brush my teeth and hop right into bed. Nix that - I actually walked very, very slowly to my bed. Suddenly, I had gone from being stimulated from television and sushi and ice cream to feeling calm, happy, and exhausted. Plus, I slept throughout the night and didn't wake up groggy the next morning.
While both balms smelled wonderful and had a smooth, creamy texture on my skin, and both made me feel drowsy, I did get sleepier a bit faster with the Floyd's of Leadville, probably because it had a stronger concentration of CBD (600mg). Either way, it seemed to me that CBD and lavender may be more powerful together than they could ever be alone. So, if you're struggling to tucker yourself out at night and can't afford to wind down for hours before bed, you might want to give this dynamic duo a try.

Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie "Go to War" in New Bombshell Trailer
There's a scandal brewing at Fox News, and Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie are in the thick of it.
The three are the sole focus of the new trailer for Bombshell, a Jay Roach-directed drama that gives a "revealing look inside the most powerful and controversial media empire of all time; Fox News." The film will follow the 2017 ousting of the late chairman and CEO of Fox News Roger Ailes, after allegations of sexual harassment were first brought to light in 2014. The story will be told all through the perspective of the three women who took him down: Megyn Kelly (Theron), Gretchen Carlson (Kidman), and the fictional Kayla Pospisil (Robbie).
Bombshell was previously titled Fair and Balanced, which just so happens to be the former slogan of the right-wing news network. John Lithgow takes on the role of Ailes, while the rest of that star-studded cast includes Allison Janney, Alice Eve, Mark Duplass, Malcolm McDowell, Connie Britton, and Kate McKinnon. Watch the latest trailer for Bombshell above and get ready to dig into the scandal when the movie hits theaters on Dec. 20.

Noah Centineo Has Traded His Luscious Locks For a Shaved Head, and Fans Want Answers
Noah Centineo is known for causing heart palpitations for a few reasons, one of which is his hair. But the 23-year-old heartthrob has traded his luscious, curly locks for a shaved head of hair, so you might want to prepare yourself. The big reveal was made in the afternoon on Tuesday with a simple image in Centineo's Instagram Story. He shared just one photo, signature smile included, but with a very different look overall thanks to his fresh cut. He wrote, "I'm right here," on the photo and held up a coffee cup. This was in response to his girlfriend Alexis Ren's Instagram Story of two coffee cups on a table outside with the caption, "Where's maaaahhh babyyyy."
This isn't the first time this year that Centineo has made a drastic change to his appearance. Just last month, he dyed his beard blond, which was an interesting choice. That was a short-lived phase, and the To All the Boys I've Loved Before actor is now clean-shaven - very much so, thanks to his new hair, or lack thereof. The popular actor's fans immediately noticed the big change and took to Twitter to ask the important questions: is this for a role? Just for fun? We'll have to wait until Centineo addresses it to know for sure. In the meantime, see how big this transformation really is.

Meet a Woman Who Lost 66 Pounds and Is Running a Marathon: "This Is My Life Now, and It's Awesome"
When it came to changing her lifestyle habits, Jo Jones said that she's had a series of "starts and stops" over her 38 years. But the Milwaukee, WI, resident finally wanted to stick with these changes after a diagnosis from her doctor. "The thing that really got me into gear this time is I was diagnosed with high blood pressure," she explained. "And everyone in my family eventually dies from heart attacks from high blood pressure."
Jo decided right away to download the Lose It! app - an app we highlighted in another weight-loss transformation - to track the calories she was eating. The very first week of tracking, her calorie count totaled around 25,200. Now, she eats around 11,000 per week. "I didn't realize it, but I was eating about 14,000 calories more than I should have weekly. So, after that, I realized, 'Ah, yes, OK. I found the problem,'" Jo told POPSUGAR.
Through a well-balanced, monitored diet and working out, Jo has lost 66 pounds so far since November 2018. In a month or two shy of a year, Jo went from 225 pounds to around 159. But that's not all: she also became a runner. What began with slow walks on the treadmill, turned into one mile, a 5K, and a 10K. In late September, Jo actually competed in her very first half-marathon. Next on her list, coming up soon, is a full marathon (26.2 miles). Throughout her journey to get to where she is, she's learned a lot about what her body can accomplish. Ahead, check out a breakdown of Jo's eating habits, fitness routine, and some nonscale victories (because it's not just about the numbers).
These Velvety Pumpkins Will Make Your Home Feel Luxe This Spooky Season
