A Pilates Workout to Tighten and Tone Your Entire Body
Get ready for a focused Pilates workout that will tighten your entire body, while strengthening your core. This 25-minute workout is intense but won't leave you sweaty. Amy Jordan, owner of LA-based WundaBar studios, leads this workout, and you're going to love it. You don't need any equipment, but don't forget to breathe.
20 Overboard GIFs That Prove It Will Never Get Old
Overboard hit theaters almost 29 years ago, but the iconic movie is still quoted and watched to this day (and probably always will be). In addition to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's real-life romance, the pair also ended up being comedic gold as costars. While Hawn delivers some icy and hilarious burns (not to mention her disgusted facial expressions) as spoiled heiress Joanna Stayton, Russell shows off his muscles and quick wit as carpenter Dean Proffitt. Despite the somewhat scary plot of Dean actually kidnapping Joanna to make her think she's his wife named Annie after she loses her memory from falling overboard her luxurious yacht, the movie is pure genius. And with remakes being made left and right these days, we love to look back on classic films that are so deliciously original. Keep reading for some of the movie's best GIFs.

Stop Everything: MAC Cosmetics Is Having Its First-Ever Sample Sale
When I received word that MAC Cosmetics would be hosting its first-ever sample sale, I literally clutched at my heart with shock. "I may throw up with excitement," I said aloud. Though I have access to many brands and products, I'm particularly fond of MAC: its range of pigmented formulas, bold celebrity collaborations, and charitable initiatives make me both excited and proud to be a beauty junkie. The fact that the company has a rewards program for its most dedicated shoppers is just icing on the proverbial cake. So yes, I am pumped about this news.
However, there's one catch: the sample sale will be hosted exclusively in New York City, where MAC's headquarters are located. Should you be lucky enough to be in the area, you can snatch up your favorite products for a generous 60 percent off. The sale will be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion's Fourth Floor Gallery (123 West 18th St.) on the following dates:
- Tuesday, July 19, 2-7 p.m.
- Wednesday, July 20, 9 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Thursday, July 21, 9 a.m.-7 p.m.
- Friday, July 22, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Fan favorites like Velvetease Lip Pencil ($14) and Studio Nail Lacquer ($12) will be available, and with a 60 percent discount, that means they'll be less than $6 and $5, respectively. Beloved MAC lipsticks (typically $17) will cost a mere $7! If you plan on attending, keep in mind that everything is final sale and that you'll likely face some serious jostling from fellow MAC fanatics. But if you snag the last piece of a limited-edition collection, the pain will be worth the reward. Good luck!
You'll Never Eat Another Gummy Bear or Marshmallow Again After Hearing What It's Made From
If you look at the ingredients on a package of gummy bears - even organic ones - you'll see expected things like corn or brown rice syrup and sugar. But you'll also see something called gelatin. Seems innocent enough, but its source might surprise you. Gelatin is a yellowish, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage, and bones from animals. It's made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over - we're talking about pork skins, horns, and cattle bones. Ugh.
I guess if you're into the philosophy of using the whole animal, you'll be psyched about this. Plus gelatin contains 18 amino acids, so it does offer some nutritional benefits. But if you're vegan, you'll definitely want to skip the chewy candies and your great-aunt's Jell-O mold - it's made with gelatin, too. This animal-derived ingredient can also be found in some vitamins and medications, marshmallows (not Trader Joe's - they're vegan!), cheeses, yogurts, soups, salad dressings, jams and jellies, fruit snacks, and canned hams. If this tidbit of info grosses you out, you'll want to pay closer attention to these products' food labels.

12 Interesting Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Cholula
There are lots of hot sauces out there, but none with a fan base like Cholula's. True lovers of the hot flavor of the bright red sauce go through bottles and bottles every year without even thinking about it, sprinkling it on everything from eggs to rice to (if they're hardcore) salads. They might even carry their own to-go packets, just in case the restaurant they're hitting up for dinner features another salsa picañte not up to their standards. So, can you consider yourself a real fan? Read ahead for 13 little-known facts about Cholula. If you're done and thinking, "duh, of course," we bow down to you, Cholula master.
- The hot sauce was named after the city of Cholula in Mexico, the oldest inhabited city in North America.
- It's not actually made there, but instead prepared in Chapala in Jalisco.
- Cholula's slogan is "el sabor perfecto." Sounds about right.
- The wood cap in every Cholula bottle is made of beech wood. When the hot sauce was first created, the cap was chosen specifically to differentiate it from all others in the market and to represent "the craftmanship behind the product."
- There are 5 flavors: Original, Green Pepper, Chipotle, Chili Lime, and Chili Garlic.
- The brand claims that Cholula scores 1,000 Scoville units, which would make it a medium-spice condiment.
- Have you noticed the long number code on each bottle? Cholula's website has an explanation: "The first two digits are the year, the next three are the day, and the next four is the time."
- The peppers included in the original Cholula flavor are arbol and piquin. Other flavors include peppers like jalapeño, poblano, guajillo, and chipotle.
- Cholula does not need to be refrigerated - you can stop debating friends and family now.
- Surprise: Cholula is owned by tequila conglomerate Grupo Cuervo - yes, the makers of José.
- Cholula's Instagram hashtag, #CholulaHotSauce, is beyond beautiful.
- Chrissy Teigen might be its biggest fan. Its second biggest fan? Probably Cameron Diaz.
Here's Exactly How to DIY Your Very Own Lipstick Shade
The following post was originally featured on By Lynny and written by Lynnette Hernandez, who is part of POPSUGAR Select Latina.
If you have any eye shadows or blushes lying around that you no longer use, it's time to put them to good use! By mixing up your old eye shadows or blushes with some Chapstick, Vaseline, or even a drop of your matte foundation, you can have your own array of matte lipsticks or glosses without having to spend extra cash.
I love this idea for when you need a lip color that you don't normally wear (like orange or even purple for example), or if you want to create your own custom shade by mixing up different colors. Just watch the video above to see how to make your own matte lipstick. Let me know if you would try this or if you have tried it before!

Antonio Banderas is channeling his inner rocker for his latest role in Simon West's new movie, Salty.
The handsome actor, who only looks vaguely familiar in his full costume, posted a series of Instagram photos while on the film's set in Chile.

Read on to see more pictures, and then find out what menswear trend Antonio is actively trying to bring back in style.

25 Images That Will Make You Feel Better About Your Kids Today
Misery loves company, and there's no better a place for it then when you're having one of those days as a parent. If your kids are pushing you over the edge right now, keep in mind that while your kiddos might be testing the waters, there are other parents going through it too (and perhaps even a bit worse) - and well, let's be honest, that is oddly comforting.

Jennifer Lopez Just Took the Stage in a Look Selena Totally Would've Worn
Years after Jennifer Lopez portrayed Selena in the now-iconic movie about her life, the singer and Shades of Blue star still knows how to channel the Queen of Tejano like no other. If you have any doubts, all you have to do is take a peek at her Today show performance outfit on July 11.
Jennifer took the stage with her pal Lin-Manuel Miranda to sing their new song, "Love Make the World Go Round," which features a message of love and support for the LGBTQ community - and she did it all while wearing a white two-piece outfit with sheer paneling and lace detailing the late Selena totally would've worn.

Meet Summer's Easiest, Chicest Sandal
Because Summer's shoes should be easy, even the dressier pair we love this season is as carefree as it is cool. The lace-up sandal trend returned again, this time with a walkable block heel that adds a kick to your tees and cutoffs or gives pretty dresses and skirts a fresh touch of the trends. The effect in every case is statement-making, albeit requires a lot less commitment than the knee-high gladiators we've seen in seasons past. In fact, these lace-ups are pretty low-key; finished in suede or, in some cases, just a pop of color, the most eye-catching part is how they tie sweetly at the ankle.
Read on for our editors' picks, and shop the shoe you'll be living in for the rest of Summer.
This Is the 1 Map You Need to Use For All Your Pokémon Go Needs
Pokémon Go fans, your life is about to truly revolve around the popular game. A new map created by a Reddit user shows you the location of Pokéstops, gyms, and Pokémon in your city.
The map, aptly called PokeGoWorld, is crowdsourced, meaning you and anyone else who lives in the area can mark Pokéstops, gyms, and Pokémon. It's an easy map to understand: the gas stations are Pokéstops, the bank icons are gyms, and the red markers are Pokémon. To add any of these, just click on the area. A pin will drop and you'll be prompted to categorize it as one of the three categories. Here's what it looks like for San Francisco.
As you can see, the map is really helpful and useful - especially if you're planning on catching Pokémon in chunks of time and want to cluster around certain areas. You can thank Reddit user jenerikku for this helpful Pokémon Go hack.
Of course, this isn't the only crowdsourced map. Others have created ones on Google Maps, each with its own style. You can also install the Ingress app and then use its map on desktop to see points that are most likely spots in Pokémon Go as well. Why Ingress? It was the original game from Niantic Labs, the creators of Pokémon Go, and has data and information about major landmarks and places - aka the same spots that you see in the Pokémon game.
Whichever map you choose, you can definitely count on being the very best, like no one ever was - maybe even with Pikachu as your starter Pokémon.

Sculpt and Strengthen Your Arms With This 3-Week Challenge
Everyone has their own reasons for wanting strong, defined arms; we're here to help. After following this 21-day arm plan, not only will your arms look toned - you'll also be stronger. First thing's first: don't worry if you've never lifted a dumbbell in your life. This arm challenge was designed with everyone in mind - whether it's your first time working out or you're at the gym on a daily basis.
Getting started: The challenge consists of five basic exercises that help to target all the areas of your arms. Over the course of the challenge, you will increase the number of reps you're doing of each exercise, eventually working up to three sets of 15 reps for each exercise.
Below is an explanation of how to do each of the five exercises, followed by the plan itself. Choosing the appropriate size weight is key here - you want one that fatigues your muscles by the end of the three sets. If the challenge ever feels too easy, that's your cue to increase the weight of the dumbbells (and if you find you are fatiguing too early, decrease the weight amount). Beginners should start the plan with five-pound weights, and for you more-experienced lifters, make this challenge work for you by grabbing a heavier set.
Bella Hadid Is on a Mission to Bring Back Your Favorite Middle School Accessory
If colorful sunglasses bring back bad memories of middle school style, you're not alone. We too once opted for slightly tinted shades, typically in purple or pink, and later vowed (somewhere in high school, after looking back) to never wear them again. But Bella Hadid is on a mission to change our minds. The model's been spotted out and about rocking a nearly clear yellow pair, styling them with her daytime looks and even wearing them into the night as well.
Different from mirrored options, these shades are pretty much see-through and likely won't be too effective blocking out the sun. But they look cool, adding a pop of color to Bella's all-black looks, so what the heck - we'll give 'em a try, too. Scroll through to see how Bella's been styling this must-have accessory, then snag a pair - while silently apologizing to your childhood self.

If Disney Characters Were Millennials
The Disney world can be a little too perfect at times, and it's probably because the characters didn't have the Internet to f*ck things up. We've seen Disney princesses in a different light before, but nothing like these comics, first posted on Dorkly, which were created by artist Justin Hall.
The hilarious strip depicts how your favorite Disney characters' lives play out in the digital age that we're all familiar with. Peep the illustrations, but be warned - you may never see them the same way again, especially Andy.
14 Everyday Struggles of Bilingual People
I speak 2.5 languages. I'm fluent in Spanish (my birth language) and English, and I know enough Italian to help a lost tourist in the subway.

Boy, are there struggles.
More than once, I have spoken Spanish to someone who has no idea what I'm saying, and words have come out of my mouth in a total jumble of Spanglish that not even I understand.

Curb Hunger Longer With These High-Fiber Fruits
It's recommended that women eat 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day to decrease the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as some types of cancer, including breast cancer. Not only that, but fiber helps you stay regular, which decreases belly bloat, and it keeps you feeling full longer to help you eat less and lose weight. That's a lot of roughage, but including plenty of fresh, luscious fruits in your diet is a great way to get your fill. Check out the chart below to see which sources are the best.

Curb Hunger Longer With These High-Fiber Fruits
It's recommended that women eat 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day to decrease the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as some types of cancer, including breast cancer. Not only that, but fiber helps you stay regular, which decreases belly bloat, and it keeps you feeling full longer to help you eat less and lose weight. That's a lot of roughage, but including plenty of fresh, luscious fruits in your diet is a great way to get your fill. Check out the chart below to see which sources are the best.

14 Powerful Songs of Protest the Black Lives Matter Movement Has Inspired
Like any powerful social movement, Black Lives Matter has inspired a flood of artwork in its wake. As Professor Daphne A. Brooks writes, the cause has especially kicked off "a new golden age of protest music" with echoes of 1960s, when antiwar sentiment and the civil rights movement were at the forefront of the national consciousness. It was a time when artists like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Sam Cooke quite literally raised their voices in protest to confront racism and antiblack violence. Now, a new wave of performers is following in those footsteps and providing a soundtrack both inspired by and in support of Black Lives Matter. Listen to some of the most stirring songs they've created in our playlist below.

Take a Break From Playing Pokémon Go to Re-Create This Nail Art
Last week, the dream of every millennial came true: we now have the chance to become Pokémon Masters in real life. Pokémon Go allows users to explore their neighborhoods and find the creatures using GPS. With the launch of the app, people are flooding the streets staring at their phones and trying to catch 'em all. The users are feeling some intense nostalgia for old-school Pokémon, and as a result, the game is currently the highest-grossing app in Apple's App Store.
Beauty-lovers are equally in love with Pokémon Go and have been showing their Poké-pride on their nails. Whether you're a lover of the card game, video games, or new app, you're going to be seriously impressed with these Pokémon nail art designs. If you haven't gotten a chance to try out Pokémon Go yet, we highly recommend it, but be warned that it will take over your life (and maybe even your beauty routine).
How Restaurants Are Attracting Pokémon - and Therefore, Pokémon Go Players

We're calling it: this is the Summer of Pokémon Go. The augmented reality game allows players to catch Pokémon out and about - on the street, at the gym, at the grocery store - and it has inspired a full-fledged movement, which really shouldn't be too much of a surprise for millennial kids who grew up with the original game.
Since the game's meteoric rise in popularity, small businesses and restaurants have found a way to capitalize on it. For those unfamiliar with the game, Pokémon can be found at designated "Pokéstops" that are predetermined. It is then up to the players to go to that stop and catch their character. By chance, many restaurants also happen to be one of said stops - which means a lot of (presumably tired and hungry) players will be strolling through.
On Twitter, many players have noticed the game's effect on a restaurant's popularity.
WIFE: Want to get dinner at that restaurant?
ME: (Trying to play it cool even though I know there will be tons of Pokemon there) Yeah. Maybe- Freddie Campion (@FreddieCampion) July 11, 2016
Just saw 40+ people outside of a restaurant that is usually empty. Asked if they were there because it was a Pokemon gym. I was right.
- Jacob Pebley (@Jacob_Pebley) July 10, 2016
Meanwhile, other savvy restaurateurs are taking matters into their own hands. By purchasing a so-called "lure" within the game - using real-life money - people are able to attract Pokémon characters to their desired location. Though the lure expires after about half an hour, it's still enough to attract some pretty rare Pokémon, which thereby attract obsessed players.
Some restaurants are even posting signage that promotes their acceptance of players, as well as offering discounts and gift cards for catching Pokémon while in the restaurant. To that effect, one start-up idea, Lure Squad, aims to figure out a way to "reward players and local businesses for taking a friendly stance toward Pokémon players."
So while Pokémon Go might be destroying phone batteries, productivity, and dinner conversations nationwide, it might also be great for small business, unbelievably so.

The 1 Risk of Playing Outside on Summer Days That Many Parents Overlook
You spend a whole day outdoors and it's no surprise that your kiddo is wiped, right? Right. We encourage our children - especially in the summertime - to play outside and get some fresh air. In trying our best to get the kids out of the house, away from video games, and playing with nature, we put them at risk of one of the heat-related dangers many parents don't even know about: heatstroke.
Read through to find out everything you need to know about heatstroke and to learn the warning signs and prevention methods.
What is heatstroke?
Heatstroke, or heat exhaustion, is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body becomes overheated and its ability to cool down is impaired. Children and babies are especially susceptible to heatstroke, especially when dressed too warmly or outdoors in the sun for an extended period of time (or if left in a parked car, which you should never do).
How do I know if my child has it?
It's easy to think that your child is just exhausted after a long day in the sun - and to an extent that's true - but there are additional signs to look out for that can alert you to the fact that something may actually be wrong.
Normal symptoms of being in the sun:
- Heavy sweating, beet-red face, but still a happy appearance
- Rapid heartbeat, breathing hard
- Being very thirsty
- Feeling hot to the touch
- Stitches or muscle cramps
Symptoms of heatstroke to look out for:
- A temperature of 103 degrees or higher
- Feeling cold despite fever
- Hot, red/pink, dry skin
- Rapid pulse
- Restlessness or irritability
- Confusion
- Dizziness or headache
- Vomiting
- Rapid, shallow breathing
- Lethargy
How is heatstroke treated?
Once heatstroke sets in, it's important to work fast to cool your child down before they potentially lose consciousness. If you're still outside, get them into the shade, but do your best to get to a cool room or cool water. Call their doctor - or if they are exhibiting multiple signs, call an ambulance or take them to the ER - and keep them calm. Undress them, give them a cold bath, apply ice packs, or soak a rag in cold water and sponge them down repeatedly. Do not give them any water unless they are alert and acting normally.
How do I prevent heatstroke from ever happening?
Keep your child hydrated and in loose, light, and breathable clothing all Summer long. Stay indoors, preferably in air conditioning, when possible, and limit playing outside to short periods of time with plenty of water and shade breaks peppered in. Do your best to avoid active play in the sun during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).

Going Somewhere? This Is the Perfect Suitcase For Your Zodiac Sign
It doesn't matter what you've got planned - a quick weekend road trip or a 10-day getaway - you can't hit the road until you're packed. Your suitcase is more than an interchangeable accessory, though; it's a staple you'll reach for every time you take vacation. While that means a classic look, quality craftsmanship, and function are key, you've still got a signature style that's all your own.
All things considered, your horoscope says you're full of traits that can't be ignored, especially since they'll likely surface in the airport. (Eye roll as you anticipate that security line.) So, we've sifted through the bags and unconvered the gem that's right for your sign. Read on to discover your trusty carryall, then shop for the right swimsuit to throw inside. Sorry, Libras - we meant carefully roll!

Oreos Makes a Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavor - But Is It Any Good?
We were one of the first to try the brand-new Choco Chip Oreos, in stores today. Earlier this year, Oreo staged a wonderful experience creating a secret vault to release its new flavors. That same flavor portal has made its way to Los Angeles to debut the Choco Chip Oreos. This is the first Oreo to feature actual chunks of chocolate chip layered throughout the Oreo.
The filling does taste exactly like chocolate chip cookie dough, albeit with a slightly fake aftertaste and while the cookies have that classic Oreo flavor, they tasted a little stale. That said, we found a little trick: heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds. Served warm, they taste like they're straight out of the oven.
The Cool-Girl Designer Behind This Buzzy Swimwear Brand Is About to Spill All Her Styling Secrets
Since 2012, Gabby Sabharwal has led a double life - fashion publicist by day, designer by night - taking her own eco-conscious, cool-girl collection of suits from small, NYC-based label to reputable fashion favorite. The proof is in the pudding, or, in the style world, in the collaborators and retailers that have backed Gabby's Giejo label. So far this Summer alone, that includes a capsule collection for Madewell and a Gwyneth Paltrow endorsement in GOOP's shop, plus a collaboration with Rebecca Taylor last year and retail presence in the likes of Shopbop and Barneys. Did we mention that Gabby is barely 30 years old? Still, the young designer is practically an industry vet, and while her success grows, she remains humble and enthusiastic - as excited about her collection and the Giejo customer as she was when we first met. Four years later, that's what makes Gabby one of our biggest girl crushes in the biz and a style setter we turn to on the regular for inspiration and advice.
With that in mind, we tapped the swimwear guru for the biggest trends of the season and how to get the most mileage out of the bathing suits you've got. Read on for all of Gabby's wisdom - and all the ways she's rocking her swimwear wardrobe right now.
POPSUGAR: What's the Giejo vibe/who is the Giejo girl?
Gabby Sabharwal: Giejo elevates the traditional swimwear market with a unique, personal style-focused approach to design utilizing surplus and reclaimed fabrics in our limited-edition styles. Offering swim separates and cover-ups featuring versatile prints, multifunctional details, and figure-flattering silhouettes, Giejo allows you to mix and match your swimwear for a personalized look.
We design for the modern woman, embrace individuality, and offer options to explore. Our girl is eclectic, effortless, entrepreneurial, social, and independent.
