I'm a New Plant Parent, and It's Totally Helping With My Stress Levels
My sister makes interior design look easy - whenever I move or redecorate a room, I call her up and ask her opinion on pretty much every decision I'm making, from rug choices to curtain rods. She has this ability to make every single space she touches feel clean, fresh, and comfortable, but most of all, incredibly calming - from her childhood bedroom, to the apartment we shared after college, to her home now. The other day, while visiting her, I realized the constant between all of these places: plants.
Trust me when I say, I didn't inherit her green thumb, which is why I've always resisted bringing plants into my own home. But, after reading about all the potential health benefits of having plants in your home (and work space!), I made the decision to become a better plant parent. For example, one smaller study I came across showed that plants in the workspace (now, my living room) could boost productivity - my sister's ability to tackle a to-do list is proof enough for me. Another noted that interactions with plants may reduce psychological stress.
That day, I visited my local plant shop and picked up a ficus and a snake plant. I placed them on my bookshelf in my living room, and on top of giving the space a much-needed pop of color, the greenery helps create a much more relaxing environment. I look forward to my morning routine with my plants - while waiting for my coffee to brew, I fill up the watering can and head over to the corner to check in on them. It feels somewhat meditative. Since then, I've invested in a few different plants for my balcony - and am currently searching for a simple planter for the railing, too.
Jesse Radloff, a licensed mental health counselor with Orlando Health South Seminole Hospital, confirmed that plants could have positive effects on our well-being.
"Yes, there is some research regarding indoor plants, however the vast majority of research does focus on being in nature outdoors," Radloff said.
What instantly came to mind for me was the rejuvenating concept of forest bathing, or taking in the atmosphere of nature.
"Research has been done examining the effect on people while being in an indoor environment with and without plants," Radloff said. "Not only did the people in the rooms with plants self-report feeling less stressed and happier, their cortisol (a stress hormone) was also lower than those in non-plant rooms."
Radloff also noted that there's a mental health therapy modality called horticultural therapy, "which among other activities, involves caring for an indoor plant to improve mood, motivation, stress levels, and feelings of self-efficacy."
While many of my friends are proud plant parents with lush, green plants decorating every corner of their apartments, Pamela Bennett, assistant professor with The Ohio State University, state master gardener volunteer program director, and horticulture educator and director for the OSU Extension, said that houseplants weren't always so buzzy.
"Houseplants were last very popular when I started my career in the mid to late 70s," Bennett said. "The popularity dropped and hasn't been the same until recently. It's fantastic to see so many 'plant parents' and people rejuvenating an industry."
If you're like me - a newbie to plant parenting - Bennett suggested going with options that are easy to care for: "snake plant, pothos, philodendron, and dracaena are some of the easy starter plants."
If you're more into blooms than greens but have a history of allergies, be sure to chat with your allergist to ensure that your choice in plants won't irritate you or cause any reactions. Likewise, Bennett says that there could be skin allergy issues for those who are sensitive to plants - so it's best to do your personal due diligence before investing in your in-home jungle.

Jurnee Smollett Has Reigned Supreme in Your Favorite TV Shows and Movies Since the '90s
Despite her youthful visage, Jurnee Smollett's role as the vivacious Letitia "Leti" Lewis on HBO's Lovecraft Country is one of many on her lengthy résumé. The 33-year-old actress has been booked and busy since she made her TV debut on the Patti LaBelle-led series Out All Night in 1992. She racked up a steady list of roles on various series in the early '90s, including iconic ABC family sitcoms like Full House and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, as well as a short-lived sitcom with her five siblings, On Our Own, from 1994 to 1995.
Smollett made her film debut in Francis Ford Coppola's Jack, but it was her role as 10-year-old Eve in Kasi Lemmons's 1997 film Eve's Bayou that truly made her a household name. Starring opposite Lynn Whitfield, Samuel L. Jackson, Meagan Good, and Debbi Morgan, Smollett's portrayal of a young girl caught in the web of lies and deceit spun by everyone around her earned her several award nominations and a win at the Critics' Choice Award. She went on to become a familiar face on the small screen, making appearances on shows like Strong Medicine, ER, and Grey's Anatomy. Fans will definitely remember seeing her as a series regular on modern classics like Friday Night Lights, The Defenders, True Blood, and, more recently, WGN America's Underground.
And of course, there are her theatrical ventures, like the roller-skating film Roll Bounce, which reunited Good and Smollett, as well as 2007's The Great Debaters, based on the real-life victory of the Wiley College debate team. Smollett's eclectic filmography proves she's not afraid to embrace new adventures and kick some ass (especially as Dinah Lance in January's Birds of Prey), and her role as "Leti F*cking Lewis" is a reminder to us all that she's damn good at it! Keep reading for a refresher on some of Smollett's biggest roles (yes, she was even in an episode of NYPD Blue), and tune into Lovecraft Country to see more.

Everything You Need to Know About How to Vote Early
With COVID-19 still a very real problem in the US, the upcoming election will most certainly be affected. Not only is there a shortage of poll workers, which can lead to longer wait times, but voting by mail is also unclear to many. It's important to exercise your right to vote, so once you've registered, find out not just where to vote, but how to vote by mail or vote early if you choose. Ahead, we have tips from Debra Cleaver, founder of Vote America, on the advantages of voting early as well as what you need to know about the whole process.
Related: Election 2020: Beyond the Ballot
Why Should I Vote Early?
There are a few advantages to voting early. One of the big advantages is that you get your vote in and out of the way. This year, especially, there's a lot up in the air with mail-in ballots and polls being understaffed due to COVID-19, and voting early helps to spread out the votes coming in. Cleaver added, "Election administrators are likely to get overwhelmed, and that can cause issues and mistakes. To avoid that, we need to flatten the curve of applications they'll receive - which means you need to request your voter registration applications now, and request your absentee ballot or sign up to vote by mail now."
And because of COVID-19, voting early, especially by mail, will bring down the number of people going to the polls on Election Day - thus lessening the chances of exposure for both those working and those voting. Cleaver also noted that most likely the lines will be long at polling places in November, largely because of a shortage of people working. "There will be very long lines at the polls in most counties. Skip all of that. Vote early, vote by mail."
How Do I Know When to Vote?
You have to be sure to know your area's guidelines, and in many cases, mail-in ballots need to be mailed well before the election. Vote America is a great resource for registering to vote and finding out all the important dates. Once you have the date nailed down, make sure you stick to it. It's important to make a note of when mail-in ballots are due and when exactly you can vote early. It can vary by state, and COVID-19 has also affected some states as well.
How Do I Sign Up to Vote Early?
Check the government website for voting to find out when you need to register by and when your ballots have to be in or when you need to vote. Pay close attention to the deadlines and make sure you meet them so your vote is counted!
You Can Stay Overnight at One of the US's Most Notorious Murder Houses, and the Photos Will Give You Chills
If you're a fan of true crime and don't get spooked easily, you probably already know all about the Villisca Ax Murder House in Iowa. Now a historical site, the house has a bone-chilling history that's made it one of the most notorious murder houses in our country's history - and you can visit it! But before you purchase your tickets (more on the later), you'll want to read up on the horrifying true story of what happened to the Moore and Stillinger families inside the house. The events left two adults and six children dead, and if the hair on the back of your neck isn't already standing up, it will be.
The Villisca Ax Murder House Story
In the rural small town of Villisca, IA, in 1912, the Moore family lived in this small white frame house. Mr. and Mrs. Moore had four children: Herman, 11, Katherine, 9, Boyd, 7, and Paul, 5. One Sunday evening after church, sisters Lena and Ina Stillinger (ages 12 and 8) were invited back to the Moore household for supper and an overnight with the children, which they gladly accepted. When a neighbor didn't see any activity on the Moore property the following morning, she became worried and rang for the brother of Mr. Moore. After multiple attempts of calling into the house for someone to open or unlock the front door, he entered using a personal house key. What he saw next kick-started one of the world's most scandalous unsolved murder cases.
Inside, the bodies of the Stillinger sisters were found dead in a downstairs bedroom and the bodies of the Moore family were found dead in the bedrooms upstairs. All houseguests were bludgeoned to death on the night of June 10, 1912. What has scholars, historians, and investigators stumped is how the murder scene was left.
Lamps were found off at the end of each bed that contained a dead body; the victims' faces were covered with clothes after they were murdered; a bloody axe (presumably the murder weapon) was located in the room where the Stillinger girls were sleeping, and all rooms had gauge blood marks that mimicked the swing of an axe; there was a pan of bloody water in the kitchen along with a plate of uneaten food (Ummm, WTF?!); and all doors were locked. Oh, and did we mention that the axe belonged to Mr. Moore, which leads people to believe that the murderer arrived at the house unarmed?
Although there were a plethora of suspects, to this day, now 108 years later, there still isn't a convicted murderer and the case remains unsolved. Shortly after the murders, rumors began to spin out of control in the small town and newspapers picked up any and every name that was mentioned but that didn't produce a verified killer.
How You Can Tour the House
If you're just as curious and spooked about this unsolved murder mystery house as we are, you can visit the Villisca Ax Murder House and see it for yourself. Day tours are available Tuesday to Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., and tickets are $10 per person and $5 for seniors (you just have to be 12 years or older to enter). Reservations aren't necessary, but masks or face coverings are mandatory right now, and groups are limited to six with a 15-minute time limit inside the house.
And for the most spine-tingling type of visit, you and a group of up to six guests can book an overnight tour for $428. After a tour of the house and grounds, keys are turned over to the guests and you have the house to yourself from 4 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. the next morning. Those staying overnight are advised to bring coats, sleeping bags, and pillows. Photographs, videos, and audio recording are highly encouraged!
You can book an overnight tour by visiting the Villisca Ax Murder House website, where you will also find more information regarding COVID-19 limitations and safety precautions. In the meantime, sneak a peek at some of the rooms inside the Villisca Ax Murder House ahead.

Lovecraft Country's Aunjanue Ellis Has a 20+ Year Career Full of Amazing Movies and TV Shows
Anyone tuning into HBO's Lovecraft Country will undoubtedly recognize Aunjanue Ellis, who plays the series's Hippolyta Freeman, a family-oriented businesswoman with a penchant for watching the stars and a hunger for adventure. On a show full of monsters, both mythical and human, Hippolyta serves as the very human constant; that is until she gets involved in the messiness as well. But Hippolyta is just as bold and strong-willed as a lot of the characters Ellis has played in the past, and there have been a lot.

Her credits are a collection of well-loved characters on both the big and small screen, such as her role as the sharp, but fair Miranda Shaw on ABC's thriller series Quantico, her performance on The Book of Negroes, based on the bestselling novel by Lawrence Hill, and her iconic portrayal of Sistah Girl alongside Eddie Griffin in the action comedy film Undercover Brother.

Scroll ahead for a look at some of Ellis's most popular roles over the last 20-odd years.
Amy Schumer Is Holding Off on More Kids: "I Can't Be Pregnant Ever Again"
Amy Schumer didn't have an easy journey to motherhood with son Gene, who is now 15 months old, so it's understandable that - despite resuming in vitro fertilization treatments earlier this year - she's having second thoughts about future pregnancies.
The comedian completed an egg-retrieval process back in January and the next month revealed that she and husband Chris Fischer had secured at least one embryo, but in a preview for an episode of Sunday Today With Willie Geist, she said she is reconsidering her plans.
"We did IVF, and IVF was really tough on me," she said. "I don't think I could ever do IVF again."
Between that and her nine-month struggle with hyperemesis gravidarum, a pregnancy complication that comes with severe nausea and vomiting, she seems ready to accept that she won't conceive or carry any potential future children.
"I decided that I can't be pregnant ever again," she said. "We thought about a surrogate, but I think we're going to hold off for right now."
Of course, whether they grow their family or not, she and Chris feel complete with Gene right now. "Life is so much more beautiful," she said. "He's the best thing in my life."
Here's When We Think We'll Meet Chrissy Teigen's Third Baby
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend subtly announced a third pregnancy at the end of John's music video for his new song, "Wild," on Aug. 13, and we can't wait for them to welcome a new baby sibling for Miles and Luna! But when can we expect to meet their third kiddo (who we'd safely bet might be another John look-alike)?
Based on the nature of Chrissy's announcement, we can't be positive how far along she is - how long does it even take to produce a socially distant music video?! However, as most parents-to-be tend to wait until around the three-month mark to share pregnancy news publicly - and based on her reaction to her already there baby bump - we'd guess Chrissy is due sometime in early 2021.
It's possible the mom of two will share specifics in the future, but for now, that's the best guess we've got. Congrats to this beautiful growing family!
Ciara Shares the Sweet Backstory Behind Her Baby Son's Name: "I Give Credit to Dad"
Ciara and Russell Wilson's baby boy is finally here, and his name is a win! Actually, his name is actually Win. The newborn, who is the second child the couple share and Ciara's third, was born on July 23. Both Ciara and Russell shared the birth of their little one on Instagram, Ciara writing in the caption of her video announcement: "Happy Birthday WIN!!! Mommy & Daddy Love You! Win Harrison Wilson 7.23.2020 8lbs 1 oz." Russell shared the same caption on his own account alongside a photo of the proud parents and baby Win.
The name Win is certainly a unique one - so much so that it doesn't appear in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 popular names at any point since 1900. However, his middle name, Harrison - which is of English origin and means "son of Harry" - was the 115th most popular boys' name in 2018.
Ciara shared in an interview with ET that the idea for their son's name came from Russell. "That is Daddy. I give credit to Dad. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna get emotional," she said, adding that her husband would act out scenes using the name, as it was always on his baby name list. Win shares his middle name with his late grandfather, Russell's dad, Harrison Wilson, III. "There was a lot of love and thought put into it," Ciara said.
We can't wait to see more of baby Win soon, especially with his older siblings Future and Sienna. Congrats to the new family of five!
