Noah Centineo Opens Up About His Self-Care Routine on Netflix's New Instagram Live Series
"Wanna Talk About It?" That's a question many of us are asking each other right now. It's also the name of Netflix's new weekly Instagram Live series, in which stars of the platform's most popular shows talk about how we can take care of ourselves during the coronavirus pandemic. The series kicked off with Noah Centineo of All the Boys I've Loved Before in conversation with Ken Duckworth, MD, the chief medical officer at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), talking about self-care: how we're struggling and how to prioritize mental health right now.
"I suck at it. I need help," Centineo said of self-care, at the start of the stream. He talked about how, at the beginning of the pandemic, he thought that watching the news and "hours of government updates every day" could provide comfort and control; instead, it became a source of stress.
"You need enough media to know what's happening," Dr. Duckworth said. That might mean checking in just once or twice a day. "If you dose it too high, you might find yourself up half the night worrying about it." Right now, a big part of self-care is using the news and social media in a way that helps you, instead of stressing you out. (Here are eight therapist-approved ways to manage social media right now.)
Centineo went on to describe the ways he's doing self-care right now: taking breaks from work, checking in with friends, making his bed every morning, and journaling. He's also been trying out the Wim Hof Method of controlled breathing with some of his friends.
"We've created a group chat, checking in with each other every day, saying, 'I did my session.' It creates a community aspect," he explained. And once he's done 20 or 30 minutes of breathing and checking in with himself, "I become more open to myself. My anxiety and my stress fall into a separate category, separate from myself." He's able to journal and write about his feelings from "a bird's-eye perspective."
Dr. Duckworth also encouraged people to view the period of physical isolation "as an altruistic act to help the vulnerable." Centineo agreed, adding, "I'm being isolated with millions of other people around the country and the world. It feels like I'm a part of something greater than myself by doing this. And then I feel so much less isolated when I'm isolated."
Centineo, who said he's currently sheltering in place with his sister and her boyfriend in LA, said he's also using the time to connect with his housemates and act with more of an altruistic, philanthropic attitude. "Developing those communal bonds is so important and finding little ways to do that are helping me substantially during this time," he said.
Dr. Duckworth distilled the talk down to four tips for dealing with anxiety and prioritizing self-care:
- Keep your anxiety in perspective. "Things are scary and there may be people that you're worried about," Dr. Duckworth said. "But the idea is to not catastrophize. Your anxiety does build negative thinking. Pay attention to that." Here are therapist-approved ways to deal with negative, intrusive thoughts.
- Take care of your body. "Anxiety impacts your body. There's a physiologic component," Dr. Duckworth said. You might feel it as an elevated heart rate or difficulty breathing. He recommended deep breathing and aerobic exercise, which pumps your heart rate up and naturally helps it settle back down.
- Stay connected to other people. If you're not living with family or friends, try texting and FaceTiming to stay in touch.
- Help others, as you can. You're being altruistic just by staying at home. If you want and are able to do more, try shopping for a neighbor or ordering from a local business. Dr. Duckworth said that giving to others "helps defray this feeling of helplessness." Here are more ways you can help during the coronavirus pandemic.
Mental health professionals are offering remote tools like teletherapy so you can get help without leaving your home. You can also find resources on NAMI's website. If you're having a mental health crisis, you can text "NAMI" to 741741 to connect with the National Crisis line.

Univision Will Broadcast One World: Together at Home in Spanish to Support COVID-19 Healthcare Workers
Univision announced that it's joining Global Citizen and the World Health Organization (WHO) to broadcast the star-studded concert One World: Together at Home this Saturday, April 18, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/ 5 p.m. PT. The live coast-to-coast broadcast will have a simultaneous Spanish-language translation and will include special commentary by TV personalities Alejandra Espinoza and Raúl de Molina throughout the event.
One World: Together at Home is a historic, first-of-its-kind global broadcast event that will show unity among all people who are affected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It will also celebrate and support the healthcare workers doing life-saving work on the front lines, featuring their stories, the commitments philanthropists have made, what governments and corporations are doing to support and equip healthcare workers around the world with masks, gown, and vital equipment, and how local charities are providing food, shelter, and healthcare to those who need it most.
I think I can speak for most young Latinx who are social distancing at home with their parents when I say "thank you." With Univision broadcasting this massive event in Spanish, it takes off some of the pressure of translating in real time, providing stress-free entertainment for everyone in the household. Not to mention, Alejandra and Raúl have incredible chemistry on screen, and will probably make this an unforgettable broadcast.
The global event, curated in collaboration with Lady Gaga and hosted by Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert, will feature appearances by celebrities from the arts, comedy, music, and sports industries, including the Latinx Camila Cabello, J Balvin, Jennifer Lopez, and Maluma.
Among other confirmed celebrities are Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Awkwafina, Billie Eilish, Burna Boy, Celine Dion, Chris Martin, David and Victoria Beckham, Elton John, Finneas, John Legend, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Kerry Washington, Lizzo, Lupita Nyong'o, Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Pharrell Williams, Sam Smith, Shawn Mendes, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Usher, and more.
This No-Pressure Daily Schedule is Making Me and My Kids So Much Happier Right Now
When I first learned that my three kids (6, 3, and 1) would be home with me for the foreseeable future, I imagined it would be like an extended spring break. What I didn't take into account was the havoc the coronavirus pandemic would wreak on my mental and emotional health (note to self: stop checking Twitter so often). After one chaotic week where I lived in a haze of anxiety and uncertainty, I learned that a little structure helped all of us adjust to this new way of life.
Without the schedule we were used to, I felt pretty lost. I let my kids turn on movies as soon as they woke up and most days they didn't even change out of their pajamas. Because I didn't know what to do with them, I let them basically do whatever they wanted. By the end of the day, the house was a mess, I felt guilty for not doing anything educational or creative with them, and we were all a little on edge.
I was already used to being home with my two younger sons, but I also found time most days to write, take them on outings to the library or the park, and let them play in the gym's childcare center while I snuck in a workout. With all three home, I missed the routine and flow I was used to so I set out to create it myself.
I knew we stood no chance of sticking to any kind of overly structured schedule (because, three kids) so I decided to keep things simple. Each day, I let my oldest (who was on spring break for the first two weeks of being home) choose a theme for the day. Based on each day's theme, I pick out an art project, educational activity, and some type of exercise or movement.
His first choice, of course, was Star Wars. Using my good ol' pal Google, I was able to easily find printable color-by-number pages and math worksheets that were age appropriate. My two younger kids had fun coloring on the pages, even if they didn't fully understand the instructions. We found a fitness trainer on YouTube who had put together a few Star Wars workout videos that were both fun and challenging. I spaced the activities out throughout the day so we had plenty of free time in-between for chores, snacks, and playing outside. Other themes we've tried out include outer space, zombies, and super heroes.
I shouldn't have been shocked to realize that my kids like having a schedule as much as I do. Just as babies thrive on routine, it also helps older kids to know what is coming throughout the day. It gives us all something to look forward to instead of constantly asking, "What do we do next?" While I'm sure my oldest would be fine with playing Xbox all day, it's much easier to coax him away with an activity that he helped to plan and could get excited about.
The first day went so well that I've been keeping it up pretty consistently ever since. When the kids are getting restless or out of control, I now have something to turn to instead of getting frustrated and overwhelmed. The beauty of having even just a small amount of structure is that it's easy to switch things up to fit in with anything else going on that day. We had a few days this week where it was just gorgeous outside and we tossed the whole schedule out the window and soaked up some much needed sunshine.
Of course, things have changed a bit now that we've thrown schoolwork into the mix, but I'm definitely sticking to some version of this with my younger kids and it also helps to give my eldest some breaks from studying throughout the day.
If you could also benefit from a little structure to your day, here are a few ideas that my kids love to get you started:
Exercise & Movement
- Dance party
- Bike ride
- Indoor or outdoor scavenger hunt
- YouTube fitness videos
Educational Activities
- Printable worksheets
- Online story time
- Virtual museum tour
- Indoor or outdoor scavenger hunt
Art Projects
- DIY play dough
- Printable coloring pages
- LEGO building contest
- Paint rocks for the garden

Looking to Combat Stress and Fatigue While Working From Home? Set Some Boundaries
Working from home can be as challenging as it is comfortable. Sure, there's no rushing out the door or fighting morning traffic, but it can feel like you're always at work - and that can be exhausting and stressful. When your office is also your home, it can be difficult to stay productive and focused, as well as separate yourself from work at the end of the day.
"Maintaining a successful work/life balance when working from home requires discipline and patience," Bethany Blankenheim, LPC, a therapist at In-Depth Therapy, told POPSUGAR. She suggests establishing a number of boundaries in order to protect yourself emotionally and set yourself up for success. With that in mind, here are five tips for setting boundaries that can keep you from becoming overwhelmed or inefficient when working from home.
Listen to Your Heart: You Absolutely Recognize Trevor Holmes From Another Reality Show
The Bachelor's new spinoff Listen to Your Heart combines the format of the dating show with that of a music competition, and at least one of the show's young hopefuls has been on reality TV before. Trevor Holmes, a 29-year-old singer, actually competed on American Idol two years ago. Although he didn't make it to the final rounds, he certainly left a major impression.
Trevor made headlines when he auditioned for Idol in 2018, during the first season of the "revived" show and its first season on ABC. Although he clearly impressed the judges with his voice and his musical skills, he also notably made a big impression on judge Katy Perry, who called him a "dreamboat" and flirted with him on camera. Throughout the season, he seemed to do fairly well, but in the end, he just didn't quite hold up against the competition, and he was eliminated just before the top 24.
Although he was the subject of Katy's flirtations on the show, Trevor actually had a girlfriend at the time, trainer and nutritionist Sierra Nielsen, who supported him through his time on Idol. She even made a "jokey" appearance in the audience of one of the shows, playfully telling Katy "I'm watching you!" as Trevor sang Vance Joy's "Riptide." Trevor even sang a song by a previous Idol winner: the then-ubiquitous "Home" from Phillip Phillips, the 2012 winner.
While we wait to see what he'll sing on Listen to Your Heart, relive Trevor's most memorable American Idol performance.

This Vegan Carrot Bacon Recipe Calls For Liquid Smoke and Lots of Maple Syrup
Much like Ron Swanson, I believe breakfast is the best meal of the day, and that meal isn't complete without a little bit of bacon on the side. In a video shared to her account, TikTok star Tabitha Brown put a Chris Traeger twist on a Ron Swanson favorite when she shared her recipe for vegan bacon made entirely with carrots and spices.
Tabitha begins by cutting this slices of the carrots with a vegetable peeler to create thin bacon slices. She then combines liquid smoke, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of pepper in a bowl and lets the carrot slices marinate in the mixture for about two minutes. Afterwards, Tabitha air fries the carrot slices at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes - but you can also use the oven - and I can't get over how crunchy the bacon sounds when it's done.
Tabitha then goes on to make a BLT wrap out of her carrot bacon. I also have a feeling this would be great with a side of pancakes, crumbled on a bowl of mac 'n' cheese, or sprinkled over a baked potato. While carrots may not be immediately where my mind goes when it comes to savory, smoky breakfast foods, Tabitha's recipe has me convinced I have to try to spice up my next brunch with a little bit of this crispy treat. Watch the full video here to see how to recreate the delicious-looking recipe for your next meal.

8 Argan Oil Products You Can Use When Your Hair Needs Some Extra Love
Maybe you don't use argan oil in your hair-care routine very often, but there are plenty of reasons why you should. Derived from the kernels of Moroccan argan trees, argan oil is comprised of fatty acids and is a rich source of vitamin E, which can support healthy scalp and hair. The ingredient is also known for its ability to soften and moisturize the hair, and make it slightly more manageable, which is why you've likely seen the oil listed as a callout ingredient in a ton of hair products.
There are plenty of ways you can use argan oil, too, whether you're using it to deep condition your hair, reduce frizz, or just add a little shine. Read ahead to check out some of our favorite hair products made with argan oil.
