Blanca's Final Scene on Orange Is the New Black Will Leave You With All the Feels
Warning: Spoilers ahead for the series finale of Orange Is the New Black.
Immigration is a heavy topic tackled in the latest season of Orange is the New Black. One of its original characters, Blanca Flores (Laura Gómez), in particular, finds herself at the center of the deportation scandal. All season long, we watch Blanca's time in the US quickly drift away like sand in an hourglass. Her green card expires, her freedom is at risk, and the love of her life disappears into ICE custody. Let's just say, Blanca's story gives us all the feels.
We start by seeing Blanca in an ICE detention center alongside Maritza (Diane Guerrero). Confusing, because last season we see her walk free, kicking rocks to the Litchfield Penitentiary. We come to find that her freedom came with price: her immigration status. With the help of her new pal, Karla Córdova (Karina Arroyave), Blanca fights to prove she's unfairly being held in ICE custody. Her former lawyer did her a disservice by not explaining all the details of her plea deal after last season's FBI riot investigation - like losing her green card. Blanca was unaware that her status in the States would be lost if she plead guilty.
By the end of the season, we finally see justice for Blanca. She convinces the immigration court to allow her to stay in the US a little longer to fight her case. She finds a new lawyer who helps her regain her legal citizenship and alas, Blanca is finally free! Her boyfriend, Diablo, on the other hand isn't as lucky.
ICE captures Diablo during a visit with Blanca while she's still in custody. He is eventually deported back to Honduras while Blanca is off fighting the legal system in the US. After proving her case and getting her green card reinstated, she leaves the United States for good to be with Diablo in Honduras. The two finally get the happily ever after we've all been rooting for!

Hot Tip: Watch This Stripped-Down Lizzo Performance Whenever You Need a Mood Boost
Lively, upbeat, confident: these are all words you could use to describe Lizzo's music. And yet, stripped down, her songs still hold so much power. The vivacious singer recently participated in NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series, in which musicians are asked to perform behind, well, a tiny desk. "I've been wanting to do this for a long time," Lizzo said before kicking off the intimate performance. She added, "So, I think I'll do it, today."
Lizzo performed her soulful "Cuz I Love You," which she ended with a dramatic, applause-earning a cappella moment. She then launched into the ultimate breakup anthem, "Truth Hurts," before ending on "Juice." And yes, of course her flute made an appearance. Watch the endlessly entertaining performance above.

Why Tyler Is Such an Important Euphoria Character, Even Though We Barely Know Him
For a character we barely know anything about, Euphoria's Tyler Clarkson sure has had a major impact on the plot. He has, essentially, become the unwilling face of Nate's reign of terror and control, forced to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit because of one he did. Let's rewind to the very beginning to see how Tyler became so pivotal.
Tyler first appears in the very first episode, where he's the guy Maddy drunkenly hooks up with in the pool in an act of defiance. It might have just been a one-off thing, but that's without taking Maddy and Nate's toxic relationship into account. Maddy claims she was blackout drunk during the hookup to try to get Nate off her back, but it backfires: Nate goes on a violent rampage, breaking into Tyler's house, beating him up, and stealing his clothes. That's when he discovers something that gives him power over Tyler: Tyler isn't a teenager, but a 22-year-old, which means that his hookup with Maddy, drunk or not, counts as statutory rape.
Nate continues to use Tyler as his cover, posing using Tyler's name on the hookup app where he catfishes Jules. And when the discovery of Maddy's bruises comes out, it's all too easy to use Tyler as a fall guy and claim that he, not Nate, is the one who hurt Maddy. Rue figures out that Tyler probably agreed to keep his mouth shut and take the fall because Nate holds the statutory rape charge over his head as well. Jules also sides with Nate, claiming to have witnessed Tyler choking Maddy, presumably because of the blackmail Nate is holding over her too (although Rue believes it's because she's fallen in love with Nate via their online relationship).
The last we see of Tyler is him taking the fall and falsely confessing to attacking Maddy. Will the truth come out? Who knows, at this point. It's unclear if he'll pop back up again, but he's already had a huge impact on the plot, all because he crossed paths with Maddy and Nate.

Warning: Your Screen Might Start to Sizzle When You See Gigi Hadid's Polka-Dot Bikini
Gigi Hadid must know the key to a good Summer getaway is a trusty bikini, because she packed plenty for her recent trip to Greece. The model spent a weekend celebrating her older sister Alana's birthday and lounged around in a few of the cutest suits we've seen this season. Just a day after she made breakfast in an on-trend neon look, Gigi opted for a bold and ridiculously sexy polka-dot two-piece from Devon Windsor.
The black dotted bikini may seem relatively tame from the front, but when Gigi turns around it's a whole other story. The bandeau top and high-cut bottoms show off her toned abs and long legs, while she keeps covered up top with a button down shirt. Gigi's certainly no stranger to a stunning swimsuit, and this look is no exception. Keep reading to see more snaps from her Greece vacay and shop her exact two-piece below.

20 Figure-Flattering Swimsuits Perfect For Women With Small Chests
Swimsuit shopping is a unique battle for anyone, especially if you're self-conscious about being smaller up top. So this season, arm yourself with tricks, and you'll be able to stroll seaside with confidence.
- Flaunt what you have and fake what you don't. If you're looking to create more cleavage, opt for an underwire bra top (or padding). A structured top will shape what you have, while padded cups can actively fake more if that's the look you're after.
- Distract, distract, distract. Ruffles, bold prints, and splashes of color are all far busier than a simple, solid suit and can claim an onlooker's attention.
- Embrace what you can wear. Tiny tops and unique shapes are cute but often spell disaster for women with larger chests. Trendy styles are easy to conquer when support isn't mandatory, so go ahead and play around with fun cuts.
Now that you're up to speed, just read on to shop the cutest suits for small-busted beach babes.

12 Cute, Affordable Brands We Shop Just as Much as Zara and H&M
Where can I buy cute, well-made clothes that I actually still like after wearing them once? Story of my life. It's probably yours, too. That's why I'm here to offer you a well-rounded list of the Zara and H&Ms of the world you didn't even know existed. All of the labels below are fun to shop (meaning that you'll actually collect styling tips as you scroll through the pages and see how items are paired together). It's probably hard to believe that I found 12 different sites that fall into this bucket, but I wouldn't lie to you.
I'm particularly into Pull&Bear these days, which I think of as Zara's little sister, and when I need a sophisticated, lightweight dress for the office, my first stops are Mango and COS. I recently discovered Choosy after Sophie Turner wore one of the brand's dresses during her wedding weekend in Paris, and I'm suddenly smitten. Oh, and would you believe that Kendall Jenner's Mykonos party outfit is only $57 at Meshki, another retailer I included on this list?
Girl, you're about to spend some money when you get to know these fashion destinations, but at least you can feel good knowing you're not breaking the bank with just one cool jumpsuit. IDK about you, but that's pretty much my idea of heaven.

Jason Momoa Rings in His 40th Birthday With a Surprise Party and - Wait For It - a Guinness Cake

Plenty of f-bombs started rolling as his loved ones took him by surprise, but the swearing was quickly replaced by excited hugs and FaceTiming his wife, Lisa Bonet, and kids, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf. Watch the full video above to see every detail of the celebration - including a custom cake made out of whiskey and Guinness. Yes, really.
Lindsey Vonn on Life After Retirement: "I Want to Work and I Want to Work Hard"
If you looked up "success" in the dictionary, Lindsey Vonn's face might as well be there. The 34-year-old has the most World Cup victories - 82 - of any female skier and became the first American woman to win gold in the downhill ski event at the 2010 Winter Games. She skied her last race at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships on Feb. 10 and finished third, making her the oldest woman to win a medal at worlds. It also made her the first female skier to win medals at six different world championships. So, yes, Lindsey's career was defined by success, but she's also no stranger to injury. At the Red Bull's Celebration of Lindsey Vonn event this month, the now-retired athlete spoke to POPSUGAR about recovering from her most recent knee surgery, getting back to her new normal, and plans for the future.
Lindsey underwent surgery in early April for a torn lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in her left knee. This injury was sustained when she crashed while training in November 2018. Postponing surgery due to "obligations," as she wrote on her Instagram, further exacerbated the issue - the doctors found a meniscus tear and damage that required chondroplasty of her knee cap. Recovering this time around was hard, Lindsey said, because she wasn't going back to the sport she loves.
Lindsey told POPSUGAR, "I've had so many surgeries, it can be really mentally difficult, especially now that I didn't have anything to come back for. In the past, I always was just trying to get back quickly so I could ski, but now I don't have that, so it was basically just a quality of living that I was looking to get back to, to where I didn't hurt as much and was strong enough to be able to be athletic." The biggest thing that helped her through the initial rehab was staying positive and not getting herself down. Her support system - she specifically mentioned her dogs and her boyfriend, hockey player P.K. Subban - also helped. Taking care of what she eats and getting those workouts in, even if modified, currently keeps her energy up.
Lindsey has made a lot of progress since April's surgery (you can find footage of her back in the gym with a brace that same month). She still can't run, which she said she's OK with. She can't do any quick agility moves and has to "keep things in a very linear plane right now," she explained, adding that her focus is strengthening her quad, hamstring, and glutes on that left side, especially so they support and stabilize her knee.
"I want to work and I want to work hard."
For anyone recovering from an injury, Lindsey advised them to start slow and set goals but "don't get your expectations out of whack because you'll just get disappointed, and it'll deter you from going back to the gym." Even if walking 10 minutes is your starting point, that's completely fine, Lindsey said. Easing into recovery toward where you used to be is key.
In terms of her ventures ahead, whether they're through her female-focused Lindsey Vonn Foundation or otherwise - she's working on a beauty line and a memoir and has plans to go into movie production - Lindsey said that she's taking with her one major lesson from her ski career: "hard work pays off." Her plan is to surround herself with people who know what they're doing business-wise so that she can learn from them and find her footing post-retirement. "I want to work and I want to work hard," she stated, "and hopefully that translates into success."

Power Naps Do Work, Says a Sleep Doctor - but Here's What You Should Know About Them
Power naps are those short, revitalizing rest periods we take throughout the day to get our energy back up when we need it most. They're short, sweet, and certainly feel effective whether you're a sleep-deprived college student or working long hours at your job. But it's natural to wonder whether these short naps can actually help you catch up on sleep, or if they're setting you back even further.
"Short naps or power naps definitely do work," said Rafael Pelayo, MD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford Center For Sleep Sciences and Medicine. Though the sweet spot for naps seems to be between 30 and 40 minutes, he told POPSUGAR, if you have time in your schedule for a short nap when you need one, it can give you a quick bump of energy. And for people who struggle with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that leads to chronic drowsiness during the daytime, Dr. Pelayo said that short, scheduled naps can be an effective treatment.
You should pay attention, though, to what happens during your short five- to 10-minute naps. Typically, Dr. Pelayo explained, it takes our bodies about 90 minutes to enter REM sleep, which is the period in which you'll experience dreams. If you're not getting enough sleep at night, that REM period is typically the part you're cutting off. Your body responds by slipping directly into REM as soon as you get a chance to nap.
In practice, this means that if you're remembering dreams that you have during short 10- to 20-minute naps, "then really your body's screaming at you that you're not getting enough sleep," Dr. Pelayo said. Short power naps feel good and are good for you, helping you to catch up on sleep, but if you're relying on them regularly and experiencing deep sleep and intense dreams during that rest period, it's worth reevaluating your sleep schedule and trying to get more of your shut-eye at night.

And for people who struggle with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that leads to chronic drowsiness during the daytime, Dr. Pelayo said that short, scheduled naps can be an effective treatment.
You should pay attention, though, to what happens during your short five- to 10-minute naps. Typically, Dr. Pelayo explained, it takes our bodies about 90 minutes to enter REM sleep, which is the period in which you'll experience dreams. If you're not getting enough sleep at night, that REM period is typically the part you're cutting off. Your body responds by slipping directly into REM as soon as you get a chance to nap.
In practice, this means that if you're remembering dreams that you have during short 10- to 20-minute naps, "then really your body's screaming at you that you're not getting enough sleep," Dr. Pelayo said. Short power naps feel good and are good for you, helping you to catch up on sleep, but if you're relying on them regularly and experiencing deep sleep and intense dreams during that rest period, it's worth reevaluating your sleep schedule and trying to get more of your shut-eye at night.
