You Don't Get to Keep the Furniture - and 6 Other Shocking Revelations About Being on Fixer Upper
As avid fans of Fixer Upper as we are, our knowledge of the show is limited to what we see on TV. We have no idea what it's actually like to be cast on the show and have Chip and Joanna Gaines renovate our Waco, TX, dream home. Luckily, the star of season three episode "A Big Fix For a House in the Woods" shared her story with POPSUGAR Select blogger Rachel Teodoro of Holy Craft.
Check out the seven things we were shocked to learn from her below, and for even more unprecedented insight into what it's really like to be on Fixer Upper, head to Holy Craft, where you can read the complete interview.

Casting Moves Fast
This cast member applied to HGTV one day and received a call from the casting agency the very next. "After that it was a quick, big, exciting blur," she told Holy Craft of the fast-paced process.
You Don't Get to Keep the Furniture
The gorgeous Magnolia Market finds Joanna fills the house with are actually just there on loan to stage the house for the big reveal. While the furniture is not included in the makeover, the homeowners can buy any pieces they want to keep - but at that point the budget is usually pretty tapped.
Chip Is Seriously Goofy
Watch any clip of the show and it's obvious that Chip isn't a serious guy, but we didn't realize that his silly personality played nonstop in real life. He kept this season three cast member and her husband laughing the entire time they filmed, giving producers ample material to choose from.
They Make Over the Entire House
Since we only see the "after" shots from a few spectacularly renovated and staged rooms on the show, we figured that these were the only rooms Chip and Joanna lent their magic to - but we're happy to be wrong. This cast member said every room in her house was addressed, but those not featured on the show were given more basic cosmetic upgrades, such as fresh paint, carpeting, and fixtures.
Joanna Is Quiet in the Best Way
Compared to Chip's outgoing personality, Joanna can come off as downright reserved in real life - but it's because her brain is constantly churning and plotting brilliant design ideas. And when she does speak, she's very thoughtful. "I was in awe of her during our real estate filming day because she was constantly thinking about different cool things about each house," the cast member told Holy Craft.
Makeovers Are High Quality
Call us pessimists, but we often assume that reality TV shows do the bare minimum amount of work required to make a home look good on camera. Not Fixer Upper - Jamie said her makeovers extended far beyond the surface and what we saw on the show. "There is not a door in my house that isn't surrounded in beautiful thick wood trim casing. They just finish out the entire project, parts you don't see on the show, to a tee," the cast member said.
You Don't Actually Become Best Friends
Joanna and Chip seem to become fast friends with everyone on the show - perhaps it's because they're all residents of close-knit Waco - and while they're super friendly in real life, it's still business and highly unlikely that they'll be inviting you over for a dinner party after filming wraps. "I think life is pretty busy for them with all this newfound success and adventures, and their first priority is obviously their family," the cast member explained.
So what does the house look like after the HGTV cameras (and the borrowed furniture) have left? See the before-and-after pictures of this cast member's house on Holy Craft.

How Often Do You Really Need to Clean Your Makeup Brushes?
We're true makeup fanatics, but there's one part of our routine that we actively detest - washing our brushes. We know we have to, but not only does it take up a lot of our time (which we could be using for Netflix binge-watching!), it could actually damage our favorite tools if we do it wrong. We reached out to Jenny Patinkin, celebrity makeup artist and founder of luxury brush line Lazy Perfection to get her top tips on brush care, cleansing, and more.
If you're more of a skimmer, let this be the one fact you learn: do not share your brushes with anyone else. "Coming in contact with your own oils and germs is one thing, but being exposed to someone else's bacteria is entirely another," Jenny warned. Once you know the danger of a dirty brush, you'll want to clean your tools daily! Here's how to get the job done.
23 Floral Tattoos That Are So Much Better Than a Bouquet
If you're not lucky enough to live in a city with glorious sunshine all year-round (we're looking at you, Los Angeles!), you're probably mourning the loss of warm temperatures and bright skies. While it's feeling a bit gloomy here in New York, we've decided to make it feel like Spring all year long with floral tattoos. We promise, a little reminder that blossoms will bloom again will get you out of a weather-related funk. So what if you're bundled up in scarves and hats? You're rocking permanent posies under all those layers! We've rounded up some fabulous flower ink from Instagram to get you inspired.

Cheers to the Health Benefits of Beer!
By the end of the week, we don't blame you for wanting to kick back with a cold one. Enjoying a beer not only relieves stress from your busy life, but it also offers some physical health benefits.
- It reduces risk of heart attack: A recent Swedish study showed that women who drank one or two beers a week (no more) had a 30 percent lower risk of having a heart attack as compared to heavy drinkers or those who didn't drink beer at all. That's worth ordering a bottle!
- It strengthens bones: Beer has also been shown to strengthen bones. Just be mindful that more than two beers a day can have the opposite effect. Most of us aren't thinking about osteoporosis, but if drinking a beer can decrease your chances of hip fractures later in life, your older self will thank you for popping open a can.
- It protects against diabetes: If you're worried about type 2 diabetes, moderate alcohol consumption (no more than one a day) can protect you against this disease.
- It offers antioxidants: If you've heard that Guinness is good for you, you'd be right! It contains immune-boosting antioxidants and can also improve your memory. Dark beers also offer a small dose of iron.
- It's being formulated for fitness: Sometimes you crave a cold one after a long, hot workout, but the calories and carbs can feel counterproductive. There are two "fitness" beers now on the market. An online nutrition store in the UK has created Barbell Beer, which is low in carbs but offers a hit of protein. Or you can recover with Lean Machine Ale, a Canadian low-carb brew fortified with electrolytes.
This, of course, isn't a license to inhale a six-pack. Moderate and responsible drinking should always be on your mind so you can avoid a nasty hangover. And if you're worried about weight gain, check out this list to see which beer has the fewest calories.
Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris Look More in Love Than They Did a Year Ago
Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Calvin Harris, were spotted out on a romantic dinner date at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Tuesday night. The couple, who's been dating since 2015, kept close and held hands as they made their way out of the restaurant and into their vehicle. At one point, they even flashed a couple smiles - perhaps they were celebrating their one-year anniversary?
Taylor is currently on hiatus after recently wrapping up her 1989 world tour and has been enjoying her time with her other half. In January, the ridiculously good-looking pair stepped out for a candlelit dinner at the Giorgio Baldi Ristorante in Santa Monica and most recently, Taylor celebrated her Grammys win with Calvin at a star-studded afterparty at Hyde nightclub in West Hollywood. Read on to see more of the duo's night out, and then look back at their sweetest moments together.
9 Outfits That Never Go Out of Style
With every runway and every new trend, I'm less enthused with what's in my own closet.

The answer I'm finding isn't always in stocking your closet with new stuff, but in remembering the value of great essentials - and how to work them time and time again. So, I'm going back to basics with nine timeless outfits you can rework and rewear any way you like. It starts here with a few easy formulas, just add and subtract to make them your own.

This Black Hole GIF Is Utterly Mesmerizing
This might be just a simulation of two merging black holes, but it's still insane to look at. Uploaded on Reddit, the GIF made it to the front page and has collected more than 1,000 comments so far.
But as a commenter pointed out, it's actually the work of SXS, or Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes. This group of researchers from Caltech and Cornell University simulate extreme space times to better understand physics in the cosmos. They also produced a paper about the project called "What would a binary black hole merger look like?" and an accompanying video.
What, exactly, would happen if two black holes collided? They would probably merge to become one bigger black hole, but it would be extremely violent, producing enormous amounts of energy and sending gigantic ripples through the universe called gravitational waves. Amazing.

This Star Wars Art Will Make You Wonder Why Disney Princesses Don't Carry Lightsabers
You're not over seeing amazing Disney/Star Wars mashup art yet, right? Good, because we found some new ones that have us senselessly fangirling all over again.
Illustrator Phill Berry recently shared his take on the Disney princesses as Star Wars characters, wherein they're rugged, lightsaber-wielding Jedi badasses.
Featuring Ariel, Jasmine, Rapunzel, and Belle - for now - the illustrations also include the princesses' respective sidekicks! For example, Ariel is shown with a hovering drone that is meant to resemble Flounder, and Belle is accompanied by her beau, the Beast - who in the Star Wars universe is most likely a Wookiee.

The Shocking Truth About Thread Count in Sheets
For years now, we've been conditioned to correlate a high thread count with high quality in bed sheets, but it turns out there are far more important quality metrics than thread count. In fact, sheets with a low thread count but high-quality fiber can actually be better than sheets with high thread count and low-quality fiber. To learn what we should really be paying attention to when shopping for sheets, we spoke to the experts at luxury bedding company CULTIVER.
Here are the five things they said to look at before purchasing:
Fiber
This is a great place to start your sheet search. Consider your personal preferences and climate, and shop for a fiber accordingly: for example, Egyptian cotton's acclaimed comfort is due to its long staple fiber. Longer fibers create silkier-feeling sheets. Breathable fibers, like cotton and Cultiver's signature linen bed sheets, are great in warm climates because they're breathable and moisture-wicking. For cool climates, a natural insulator like silk is a great option. Polyester blends are great for those on a budget because they're inexpensive and durable.
Weave
The weave, or the manner in which the threads are interlaced, determines the way the sheets feel and look. Weaves with an even amount of vertical and horizontal yarns, like those used in high-quality percale sheets, create crisp, durable sheets. By contrast, sateen weaves have more vertical than horizontal yarns, giving them a shiny look and silky feel, but making them more susceptible to wear. When a weave is low quality, the info is often omitted from the label altogether.
Location
You already know what type of fiber and weave you want - next, note where the sheets are made. Some countries, France and Italy in particular, are known for their sheet-making skills. Even if the fabric is coming from elsewhere, it's always a plus to have the sheets made by master craftspeople.
Dye
Inexpensive sheets apply color and patterns to the fabric after the sheets are already woven, which can make them stiff, especially initially. With time and washings, they'll usually soften up. Pricier, but much softer, sheets are made from yarn-dyed fabrics that have been woven with colored yarn.
Finish
Some sheets are treated to be wrinkle-free, nonshrinking, or extra shiny - but dangerous chemicals are often used to create these finishes. It's always a good idea to seek out pure and organic sheets. They're better for everyone's health and a must for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
How to Find Your Wedding Day Glam Squad
Besides your spouse ( . . . and family and BFFs, of course), your wedding day hairstylist and makeup artist are two of the most important people you'll have by your side before exchanging vows. Not only do you want professionals who understand and can execute your vision, but it's also important to find artists you feel comfortable around and trust.
After doing extensive research - 10 years of writing in the beauty industry helped! - and forming tight-knit relationships with talent, I found the perfect team for my own nuptials. Because I couldn't have been happier with my wedding day glam squad, I spoke with them to get advice on how everyone can have a positive experience.
Before you start your search, know this: hairstylists and makeup artists who work with brides are of a rare, special breed. Not only do they love working in high-pressure environments, but the best ones also know how set the tone for a fun, relaxed day. I learned quickly throughout my trials that energy is almost as important as skill.
The Shocking Truth About Thread Count in Sheets
For years now, we've been conditioned to correlate a high thread count with high quality in bed sheets, but it turns out there are far more important quality metrics than thread count. In fact, sheets with a low thread count but high-quality fiber can actually be better than sheets with high thread count and low-quality fiber. To learn what we should really be paying attention to when shopping for sheets, we spoke to the experts at luxury bedding company CULTIVER.
Here are the five things they said to look at before purchasing:
Fiber
This is a great place to start your sheet search. Consider your personal preferences and climate, and shop for a fiber accordingly: for example, Egyptian cotton's acclaimed comfort is due to its long staple fiber. Longer fibers create silkier-feeling sheets. Breathable fibers, like cotton and Cultiver's signature linen bed sheets, are great in warm climates because they're breathable and moisture-wicking. For cool climates, a natural insulator like silk is a great option. Polyester blends are great for those on a budget because they're inexpensive and durable.
Weave
The weave, or the manner in which the threads are interlaced, determines the way the sheets feel and look. Weaves with an even amount of vertical and horizontal yarns, like those used in high-quality percale sheets, create crisp, durable sheets. By contrast, sateen weaves have more vertical than horizontal yarns, giving them a shiny look and silky feel, but making them more susceptible to wear. When a weave is low quality, the info is often omitted from the label altogether.
Location
You already know what type of fiber and weave you want - next, note where the sheets are made. Some countries, France and Italy in particular, are known for their sheet-making skills. Even if the fabric is coming from elsewhere, it's always a plus to have the sheets made by master craftspeople.
Dye
Inexpensive sheets apply color and patterns to the fabric after the sheets are already woven, which can make them stiff, especially initially. With time and washings, they'll usually soften up. Pricier, but much softer, sheets are made from yarn-dyed fabrics that have been woven with colored yarn.
Finish
Some sheets are treated to be wrinkle-free, nonshrinking, or extra shiny - but dangerous chemicals are often used to create these finishes. It's always a good idea to seek out pure and organic sheets. They're better for everyone's health and a must for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

How to Find Your Wedding Day Glam Squad
Besides your spouse ( . . . and family and BFFs, of course), your wedding day hairstylist and makeup artist are two of the most important people you'll have by your side before exchanging vows. Not only do you want professionals who understand and can execute your vision, but it's also important to find artists you feel comfortable around and trust.
After doing extensive research - 10 years of writing in the beauty industry helped! - and forming tight-knit relationships with talent, I found the perfect team for my own nuptials. Because I couldn't have been happier with my wedding day glam squad, I spoke with them to get advice on how everyone can have a positive experience.

7 Body Powders to Try If You're Avoiding Talc
Talcum powder has been making headlines lately, but it's not a new ingredient. It's been used for centuries and can be found in a slew of consumer products, from dry shampoo and blush to baby powder. But what is talc, exactly? It's a mineral that is made up of silicon, oxygen, and magnesium and is meant to absorb moisture (therefore preventing rashes). In its natural state, talc can contain asbestos, which is a known carcinogen - but according to the American Cancer Society, commercial products containing talc have been asbestos-free since the 1970s.
However, the controversial ingredient has been linked to cancer when it comes to feminine hygiene. Though findings have been mixed, some studies report that women who use talcum powder in the genital area could be at a higher risk for ovarian cancer. It is said that powder can travel through the vagina into the ovary, but none of the findings have been concrete.
Remember: it's always best to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding products you use on your body. However, if you're looking to avoid talc but still want to sprinkle on something to absorb extra moisture, we've got you covered! Read on to shop talc-free body powders.

7 Unexpected Costs of Buying a House That Will Make You Reconsider Home Ownership
You've got your eye on a prime piece of property and just enough money in the bank to cover the down payment. It's meant to be, right? Before you submit an offer, consider this: the real price is much higher than the real estate listing would lead you to believe. There are a smattering of fees, charges, and expenses associated with purchasing a home that most first-timer home buyers have never heard of - and they add up to serious money. Check them out below.
Closing Costs
Loan origination fee, recording fee, attorney fee, underwriting fee; it seems like there's a fee for everything when you're buying your first house. These small charges add up to a substantial 2-5 percent of the home purchase price. Yowza! That's definitely worth budgeting for.
Home Inspection
It's a drag to pay for in the short term, but it's worth every penny to ensure that the house you're buying doesn't have any major issues. Just be sure you have a few hundred dollars to dish out so you can pay for a certified home inspector during the negotiation process.
Appraisal Fee
Before the bank will agree to loan you money to purchase your home, it wants to make sure that the home is actually worth the amount you're purchasing it for; thus, it requires you have the home assessed by an independent certified appraiser who determines its value. This is done at your expense to the tune of a few hundred dollars.
Escrow Account
You've planned for your mortgage payment and even added interest into the monthly cost equation - but this likely will not be the only money you send your lender each month. Most require you have an escrow account into which you pay your home's property tax and home insurance fee.
Property Taxes
Don't overlook the property tax line in the real estate listing, because you're responsible for paying it each year (likely into your escrow account). Perhaps the scariest thing about the property tax is that it can be raised based on a variety of factors, many of which you have no control over (local school funding, resurgence of the area, government need, etc.), and you're responsible for the increase. Depending on the tax increase, your monthly payments could go up dramatically.
HOA
Be it an apartment building or single family home, if the property you're buying has common areas (lobby, pool, club house, etc.), then you can expect to pay some form of HOA or Home Owners Association Fees. These cover the upkeep of these shared spaces and must be paid on top of your mortgage payments. Sometimes they must even be prepaid before you move in.
Insurance
You probably think you have a good grip on the cost of insurance because you've been paying renter's insurance for years. Bad news: home owner's insurance is a whole different ball game. In addition to covering the cost of replacing your belongings, it also covers the cost of rebuilding your home. Needless to say, it's much more expensive than renter's insurance. Depending on where you live, you may even need to pay for supplemental insurance, such as flood or earthquake. Ka-ching.

This Is the Biggest Mistake You're Making With Your Clarisonic
While I'd like to think that there are quite a few characteristics Oprah and I have in common, one in particular is that we both love the Clarisonic! I've been a devotee of the cleansing brush since it first appeared on the market in 2004. (Granted, I was unable to get one until after I graduated college - as I tell everyone considering the device, it is a skin care investment.)
I've seen Clarisonic evolve from what could have been a gimmicky tool to an absolute necessity for a clear, radiant complexion. I am actually shocked when I talk to friends, co-workers, or even complete strangers who do not own one - how has their skin survived without it?
In all seriousness, it's clear that I love the product - I feel cleaner when I use it. My skin glows. I don't have to spend 10 minutes removing my makeup with a wipe, then a face wash, then another wipe, only to find foundation on the towel. It's a convenience and a luxury wrapped into one tool. Because I'm such a fan, many of my friends consult me about which model to purchase. That's when I realized how confusing it can be: the brand offers seven models, as well as a variety of brush heads to choose from!
Recently, I visited Clarisonic headquarters in Seattle to learn about their new launch, the Mia Fit ($189) While there, I chatted with Dr. Robb Akridge (lovingly known to beauty editors and his colleagues as "Dr. Robb"), one of the inventors of the device. He clarified which device and brush head you should start with based on your needs. Read on to learn which one you should grab first . . . or, if you're as addicted as I am, pick up next!

Photographic Evidence That Lady Gaga Is Having a Major Beauty Moment
I have been a fan of Lady Gaga since she released "Just Dance" in 2008. From that first single, it was clear to me that she was more than just your run-of-the-mill pop star: Lady Gaga is a true talent. She writes her own music and plays piano like a virtuoso. She has serious vocal chops that I envy (and I graduated with an opera degree!). Not only are the range and power of her voice phenomenal, but she also has the breath control to dance to choreographed moves while singing live . . . for several consecutive hours during her concerts. This is no small feat.
But I didn't join Gaga's legion of Little Monsters because of her credibility as a musician. It was her willingness to aggressively experiment with beauty. Her ever-changing wigs, wild nail art, and boundary-pushing makeup inspired me to take risks with my own look. In fact, during my senior year of college, I visited a beauty supply store, purchased a weft of hair extensions that matched my own strands, and wove it into a bow so I could channel her for Halloween.
Something changed, however, as Gaga began working on Artpop. Her edgy beauty looks didn't hit the same high notes that they once had, and it seemed like she hit a style slump. But after the release of her highly successful duet album with Tony Bennett, Cheek to Cheek, little glimpses of the dramatic Gaga I fell in love with started to resurface. Glitter shadow, lace-front wigs, and long talons returned to her beauty routine.
After seeing her empowering performance at the 2016 Oscars, I can say that Lady Gaga is living - and seems to be loving - through a beauty renaissance. I think she has always been secure in her talent, but it feels like now she is truly confident in who she is, through and through. As her fans grow up with her, self-acceptance is an important lesson for them to learn.
A strong self-esteem shines brightly through any beauty style, but when it comes to Gaga, confidence makes her daring looks even more dynamic. Read on for photo evidence and to get tips on how to DIY Gaga's greatest hair and makeup creations.

The Latest Trend in Nail Art Totally Rocks
After years of keeping up with nail art trends, we've started to get a little weary of wearing them on our own talons. Sure, pom-pom nails are adorable, but they don't appear to be highly functional. We're completely charmed by glass manicures, but inevitably, we fail to use enough topcoat, and the little shards of iridescent material snag on our tights.
We had all but resigned ourselves to basic fingertips when we spotted the latest trend: marble nails (also known as stone nails). Not to be confused with the water marbling nail art technique, this look combines shades like white, gray, and black to create a "cracked" or swirled design similar to polished marble tiles. The result is subtly stunning but completely classy. See for yourself when you read on!
