If You Look Up the Word Goddess in the Dictionary, These Pictures of Joan Smalls at the VS Fashion Show Will Come Up
This is the sixth year walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for Puerto Rican stunner Joan Smalls, so we think it's fair to say she has the VS look down to a science. Showing off her mile-long legs, Joan appeared on the runway at the Grand Palais in Paris on Nov. 30 (the show airs on Dec. 5) in what we think might be two of the best looks of the night.
Joan first appeared on the shimmery catwalk wearing a hot-beyond-words all-black sheer bodysuit with a velvet belt and long black wings, paired with strappy sandals that would scream sexy if they spoke. Later on, she wore a hunter green bra and thong set with a red leather duster featuring flower embroidery that matched her suede over-the-knee boots. We have one word: hot! Look at the photos ahead and tell us you don't agree.
The Latest Hipster Parenting Trend: Dads Who Want to Be Called "Papa"

Parenting trends come and go, many of them largely depending on a family's surrounding community. Recently, more and more progressive moms have opted for "mama" instead of "mom," and now the latest trend to rise out of Brooklyn, NY, comes from hipster dads, who want to be called "papa" instead of "dad" or "daddy."
Will Grose, a 36-year-old Brooklyn dad to three boys - Axel, Oscar, and Balthazar - thinks that "dad" sounds "very Saved by the Bell-ish" and said that about half of the children at his son's Williamsburg preschool use "papa" to refer to their fathers. "Perhaps 'papa' is representative of a general leaning towards wanting to be your child's friend as opposed to having a more hierarchical relationship," Armin Brott told The Daily Beast. "'Papa' is a little hipper, a little more familiar and friendlier than 'dad.'"
Although the trend seems to have popped up in urban areas due to a desire to be more alternative than the regular old dads of the world, don't be surprised if you see a beanie-wearing hipster kiddo calling for his papa in a coffee shop near you soon (though whether the trend spreads like wildfire throughout the US or stays put in BK, "Papa" will never not make me think of Fievel from An American Tail).

This Company Will Come Up With a Unique Hashtag For Your Wedding
It's hard enough to plan a wedding and figure out every tiny detail, like coming up with a unique hashtag idea. While we have some hashtag ideas you can use, a company now exists that will create a hashtag for your wedding for a small price.
The company, called Happily Ever #Hashtagged, offers three different tiers of pricing. You can get one hashtag for $40, three hashtags for $85, or both wedding and bachelor/bachelorette hashtags for $115. While some people cringe at the idea of a hashtag for a wedding, it's one of the easiest ways to see your wedding on social media.
On the site, the company shows off some hashtags its come up with by combining the names of couples, like #MollyPicksUpTheTempo and #TheMorenoTheMerrier. In the grand scheme of things, paying a small price for a personalized wedding hashtag might make planning your big day just a bit easier.
Gilmore Girls: The Last 4 Words Would Have Been a Terrible Original Ending
As a staunch defender of the Final Four Words on Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, I feel OK with saying that they would have been a terrible original ending. Amy Sherman-Palladino intended to wrap up the show with that exchange, but since she (heartbreakingly) wasn't on board for the final scene, she wasn't able to. While it meant we were in limbo for years and year, wondering if we'd ever find out what she wanted for Rory and Lorelai, I think it was to our (and the characters') benefit that The CW's series didn't end the way she wanted.
The last words - "Mom?" "Yeah?" "I'm pregnant." - would have occurred at the end of season seven, meaning Rory would have been 22 years old. She would have just graduated from Yale, and depending on how different the final season would have been if Sherman-Palladino were involved, she may have been about to hit the road to cover future President Barack Obama's campaign trail. Rory is a bundle of talent and potential; if she were pregnant, it would have (at least temporarily) stifled her ability to pursue a career in journalism.
Clearly, now that we've caught up with Rory nine years later, she's still struggling. She's not gainfully employed and her love life is frankly disappointing. It's not that she's in a better place to have a baby, but at least she's lived her 20s and discovered what she's capable of. While it's not the future we envisioned for Rory, it's important that she be given the opportunity to thrive. Hopefully we'll get to see her in the next phase of her life: motherhood.
I love Rory, but after watching A Year in the Life, I can confidently say she's not a great person. She's been the Other Woman not once but twice, she's crashed a boat in a fit of self-pity, and it turns out that she's not even a terrific journalist. (Why would she even agree to write that piece about lines?) Perhaps her talents lie in parenthood, and she's lived enough life now to embrace a new role, rather than potentially resent an unexpected pregnancy.
I'm not saying that's definitely how she would have felt (she's a fictional character, after all), but it wouldn't have been fair to a pregnancy on Rory at 22. However you feel about Palladino's Last Four Words on A Year in the Life, it's an infinitely better story for 32-year-old Rory.
43 Shirtless TV Moments From 2016 That You Need to See
This year has already been filled with some sexy shirtless moments on TV. Sam Heughan cozied up to Caitriona Balfe on Outlander, Arjun Gupta bared his chest in The Magicians, and Jake McLaughlin got us all riled up with his good looks in Quantico. Even if you missed these episodes when they aired, don't fret, because we've rounded them all up here! Keep scrolling for all of the best shirtless moments, so far, and be sure to come back as more are added.
When in Doubt, Blame Someone Else
You remember when you were younger and you and your siblings would make huge messes only to have your parents catch you in the act? For me, whenever Mom would find my brother and me in the midst of a huge disaster and want to know who was at fault, my brother would immediately blame me because I was the baby. The two pups in this video ran into the same problem when their owner discovered a huge toilet paper mess. Though it appears obvious that the French Bulldog is at fault, considering she's covered in evidence, the Bull Mastiff isn't about to take any chances of being blamed. Watch this hilarious video to see what happens, and watch more cute animal videos here.
What I Learned Rewatching Gilmore Girls as a Mother
When I first tuned in to Gilmore Girls, which began airing a startling 16 years ago on a now-defunct network called The WB, I was closer in age to Rory – the bookish teenage girl being raised by a single mother in a small town. As the show gained in popularity, my mom and I began watching it together. On breaks from college, I'd come home and we'd binge-watch a full season before binge-watching was a term.
After its seventh and final season ended in 2007, I didn't revisit it. Then, the Netflix revival was announced, and I spent this past Summer rewatching all 153 episodes – a feat considering I had a toddler to raise and a new pregnancy to nurture. This time, though, I wasn't seeing it from a daughter's perspective. Now, I was closer in age to Lorelai. My vantage point shifted greatly, and I discovered nuances that never seemed to exist before . . . not least of which being my concern for how much caffeine a growing child could ingest.
A few days late (a necessary drawback to having said kid and third-trimester sleep deprivation), I hunkered down on the couch – with my mom, per tradition – and watched Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
In a bizarre twist, I now felt intrinsically connected to each generation of Gilmores. As a mother to a girl of my own, I was Lorelai – struggling to define my role as parent and as my own person. As a 30-something, I was Rory – still curious about my life's path as a new, life-changing detour presents itself. And, with my own mom at my side, I was Emily – rushing to create a lasting legacy for my family.
And although I admit that Lorelai and Rory aren't the embodiment of mother-daughter relationship perfection and are, in fact, deeply flawed, at times deeply frustrating characters, I've learned a great deal in rewatching the series – and the final chapters on Netflix – now as a mother.
Ahead, a few parenting lessons I gleaned upon my return visit to Stars Hollow.
Patagonia to Donate All of Its $10 Million Black Friday Profits to Environmental Organizations
Update: Patagonia's holiday efforts have exceeded all of the company's expectations. The company announced its Black Friday sales were "record breaking," bringing in $10 million to help combat climate change. "We expected to reach $2 million in sales - we beat that expectation five times over. The enormous love our customers showed to the planet on Black Friday enables us to give every penny to hundreds of grassroots environmental organizations working around the world," a statement from the website revealed.
Patagonia says it hopes the impact of its Black Friday sales will encourage Americans to continue to "defend policies and regulations that will protect wild places and wildlife," and, most importantly, remind citizens why the Paris Agreement on climate change needs to remain a top priority in the United States.
Original story:
Patagonia is making a statement this holiday season with its Black Friday sales. The clothing company announced it will be donating all of its profits from Black Friday to grassroots environmental organizations.
"This year Patagonia will donate 100 percent of global Black Friday sales in our stores and on our website to grassroots organizations working in local communities to protect our air, water, and soil for future generations," a statement from the Patagonia website read.
Written by Patagonia's president and CEO Rose Marcario, the announcement also addressed the need for industries to put their resources into environmental efforts following the results of the presidential election. "During a difficult and divisive time, we felt it was important to go further and connect more of our customers, who love wild places, with those who are fighting tirelessly to protect them," Marcario wrote.
Marcario says the threat of climate change on "water and air pollution, extinction of species and erosion of topsoil" should be a great concern for all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. "The threats facing our planet affect people of every political stripe, of every demographic, in every part of the country. We all stand to benefit from a healthy environment - and our children and grandchildren do, too."
Marcario revealed the Patagonia brand has already raised $74 million over the years for grassroots environmental organizations, and will continue to "fight harder and smarter, and use every means at our disposal to prevail for the sake of the country, the planet, and the wild places and creatures that need our voice."
Now this is a Black Friday sale we can all feel good about.

14 Quotes From the Grinch That Perfectly Describe the Chaos of the Holidays
The holidays are usually a time for cheer, but they can also be super hectic - the parties, the presents, the unbearably cold weather. While some days we feel like Buddy the Elf, others we find ourselves relating to the Grinch from Dr. Seuss's memorable tale. While the original will always be a classic, the live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas is filled with a number of perfect quotes to use IRL. Whether you're feeling green about Christmastime or you're just a pessimist all year round, you should totally work these into your daily conversations from here on out.
Should You Teach Kids to Share?
There is a sharing policy at my son's preschool. It's a parent-run co-op, so we have to have policies like this so that we will all handle situations relatively the same way. The policy is that a child can keep a toy as long as they want to. If another child wants the toy, they have to wait until the first child is done with it. We'll even "save" toys for the child if they have to go to the bathroom, go to the snack table, etc. so that it won't get taken before they're done. This applies to anything in the yard or school that can be played with, including swings and monkey bars.
At first, it didn't really occur to me to wonder why this was the policy. I just went with it, because that's the rule, and it didn't seem like a big deal to me. The kids all know the rule, so outside of maybe their first two weeks at the school, they don't throw a giant fit when you tell them, "You can have it when Sally Jo is done." But lately I've been noticing a totally different attitude toward sharing in other places we go, and I'm starting to really know exactly why this is the school's policy.
Two Questionable Sharing Practices
Here are a couple of examples of questionable sharing practices that I've seen recently. The first comes from a good friend of mine. (And I hope she doesn't mind that I use her story as an example.) She and her almost-2-year-old were at the park one day. He had brought a small car from home to play with. Another child, a little bit older, wanted to play with the car and was demanding that my friend's son give him the car. A typical toddler scuffle ensued, and the other mother told her son, "I guess his mom didn't teach him how to share." Never mind the fact that the car belongs to him and that when someone asks you to share, "No" is a perfectly legitimate response.
My second story happened one morning at the local rec center. Friday mornings they fill the gym with tons of Little Tykes climbing structures and those plastic cars they can drive around, tricycles, big balls, even a bouncy castle. Basically a toddler's dream play room. There's this one red car in particular my son really likes playing with, and the last time we went, he drove it around the entire hour and a half we were there. While most of the moms with smaller kids will shadow their kids as they play, my son is old enough now that I can sit on the sidelines and watch. From there I watched a mom whose son wanted to drive the car approach my son repeatedly, saying, "OK, now it's time for you to give him a turn!" Of course he ignored her, and eventually she gave up. There were a million other little cars for her son to drive, including one that was almost identical. Or maybe I would have stepped in at some point.
Real-World Lessons
I don't agree with the approach of the mothers in either of these situations. I think it does a child a great disservice to teach him that he can have something that someone else has, simply because he wants it. And I can understand the desire to give your children everything they want; we all have it. But it's a good lesson for you both to learn that this isn't always possible, and you shouldn't step all over other people to get these things.
Furthermore, this is not how things work in the real world. In your child's adult life, he's going to think he's owed everything he sees. This is already happening in the next generation. I read a fascinating article about how today's teens and 20-somethings are expecting raises and promotions at their jobs for reasons like, "I show up every day."
If you doubt my reasoning, think about your own day-to-day adult life. You wouldn't cut in front of someone in the grocery checkout line just because you didn't feel like waiting. And most grown adults wouldn't take something from someone, like a phone or a pair of sunglasses, just because they wanted to use it. (Well, maybe some of you would. In which case, this post may not be for you.)
It's hard, as with so many things about parenthood, but let's teach our kids how to cope with disappointment, because it happens. And we won't always be there to fix it for them. Let's teach them how they can get things they want through diligence, patience, and hard work.
How do you feel about the concept of sharing where young children are concerned? I know you likely don't have a "policy," as I sure didn't before the preschool told me they had one. Now I notice a variety of different takes on the subject from the parents I see around. Makes me wonder if we need to be talking about this issue a little bit more.

Queen Letizia Just Put Together the Most Gorgeous Look Any Royal Has Ever Worn - You'll Want to See It!
Queen Letizia of Spain's hunter-green look is so stunning, we don't even know where to start. A day after wearing a lace lavender coat that some would call a work of art, the royal chose an A-line knee-length dress from her favorite Spanish designer Felipe Varela for the second day of her official visit to Portugal. But it's not all just about the shimmery rain-pattern sequins on the dress or its silk sleeves. It's not even just about the matching suede pumps with their V-neck detail or the matching rectangular patent-leather clutch the queen carried. It was really when we saw the queen's bob pulled into a gorgeous braided updo that allowed her jaw-dropping earrings to steal the spotlight that we lost all our cool. Keep reading to experience what we mean.
The Walking Dead: Yes, Jesus Is Gay
If you've been reading The Walking Dead comic books in addition to watching the show, then you know there are some big differences between Robert Kirkman's books and AMC's series. Thankfully, it seems that the writers have chosen to keep one element: Jesus is still gay. While it's not explicitly stated on the show, actor Tom Payne essentially confirmed the character's orientation in an interview with AOL. "He's a badass and he happens to be gay," he said. "I see no reason why that would be different in the show." Check out the clip:
You go, Jesus.
17 Latin Cookbooks Any Chef in Training Will Want to Find Under the Christmas Tree
We all have that friend who loves to host parties just so she can whip up all those crazy-intense recipes she's been practicing for months. Yes, that friend who says she's just going to "cook something quick" and then serves a multicourse meal worthy of a Michelin star that involved making dough from scratch, sourcing rare ingredients, and even using a tool you're not sure what it's for. For her (or, hey, him!), there's this list of 17 Latin cookbooks.

Joanna Gaines Got a Bakery, so Chip Announced This Huge News
Fixer Upper fans, get ready to add yet another Chip and Joanna Gaines destination to your bucket list. The couple announced exclusively to Southern Living that they are opening a breakfast restaurant called Elite Café in Waco, TX! The couple bought the restaurant, which has been around since 1919, and plan to completely transform it into their own vision. Chip told the publication, "The Elite Café is going to be a breakfast joint. I've always been a breakfast connoisseur. I always do a heavy, bigger breakfast, but Jo is the exact opposite. She was kind enough to come with me on this one, and we are going to do up a breakfast joint here in town." This comes as no surprise since Joanna, the cupcake connoisseur, recently opened Magnolia Flour Bakery, and now Chip gets to call the shots on a restaurant - Chip's homemade breakfasts for Joanna are always impressive.
As if Chip and Joanna's new magazine, Magnolia Journal, and new book, The Magnolia Story, aren't enough to be excited about, this news proves the couple truly are unstoppable. In true Fixer Upper fashion, the couple have completely renovated the space and created a new and inviting restaurant. Chip told Southern Living, "The restaurant itself is literally one big giant kitchen. When we first got in there, it was all the things you can imagine - dingy, musky. But if I took you in there today, you'd be like 'Oh! This is so clean, everything smells so great.' Those are a few benefits of a little bit of elbow grease and hard work on the front end." Start counting down the days until Summer 2017, because that's when the restaurant will open.
The Time Liam Payne Auditioned for Future Girlfriend Cheryl Cole on The X Factor
One Direction's Liam Payne rose to fame thanks to The X Factor, and now that Payne is officially dating former judge Cheryl Cole, we can't help but revisit his audition. He was first a contestant at age 14, but Simon Cowell cut him, hoping he would return once his voice has matured more. He came back in two years later in 2010, and this is his audition. He serenaded future girlfriend Cole with Ella Fitzgerald's breakup tune "Cry Me A River." Her critique? "You've definitely got it, whatever it is that you got it," she said. "I thought your voice was really, really powerful."

10 Simple Steps to Becoming a Runner in 2017
If you're anything like us, you've already begun planning your New Year's resolution in November! And if your goal for 2017 is to become a runner - or at least start running - then we have 10 simple tips to help you get going. Get ready to crush your goals!
- Make Your Resolution. Once you give yourself a goal, you'll feel that internal pull to keep going. Be loud about it! Share it with your friends and family, journal about it, leave yourself a Post-it note on your mirror . . . set your intention and stick to it. This will help you keep consistent through your journey this year.
- Get the Kicks. Invest in one good pair of running shoes. It's the one big thing you'll need to get going and keep your feet and joints healthy. Getting the right pair of running shoes can feel impossible if you're going it alone or have never done it before. Head to a specialty running store to do a fitting and gait analysis on a treadmill. The experts will walk you through every step of the process and ensure you're getting the best shoe for your body and stride - and the service is totally free!
- Don't Go Overboard. An ultramarathon coach told us the worst beginner running mistake: don't get a ton of clothes and stuff you don't need! Aside from a sturdy pair of shoes, you'll want a sports bra and probably some shorts, but you don't need every fancy piece of running gear out there (although if that's what motivates you to keep going, by all means . . . )
- Start a Program. Try a walk-to-run program that'll help you gently ease into a faster pace than walking. It'll build your confidence as much as it builds your stamina. This will also keep you on track and staying on top of your resolution for at least eight weeks.
- Don't Rush It. If you've never run in your life, you're not going to start out with eight-minute miles. In fact, you might not even get to that by December of 2017. And that's OK! Keep things slow and steady, or you'll get discouraged and maybe even give up. Pace yourself by starting slow - slow enough to hold a conversation or sing "Happy Birthday" comfortably.
- Get the Tunes. Get yourself some running playlists from our Spotify, or make your own! Great tunes (at the right pace) can make a massive difference in your running experience.
- Get an App. Download a running app will help to keep you on track, show you your pace and distance of each run, and eventually show you your average pace, total mileage, and progress. Checking back on your progress and seeing how far you've come is an excellent way to stay motivated.
- Give Yourself a Goal. Aside from your goal of "become a runner this year," it's super helpful to set some small goal as a benchmark - running coach Robin Arzon refers to this as "micro successes." Sign up for a local 5K - you might not be there to actually race, but you're signing up to give yourself some kind of tangible goal.
- Cross Train. One of the hardest parts for new runners is the burning sensation in your lungs; you don't have the cardio strength or lung capacity in those early stages of running. Try yoga -it helps so much with breathing! Cross training will also help build strength to prevent injury, which could sideline your running career for good. No bueno. Stay safe, and train smart.
- If All Else Fails . . . You don't have to be a runner. If you've given it a fair shot for a few months and find that it brings you no joy, or if you find out you actually don't have the knees or feet for a high-impact sport like running (pain is a pretty good indicator of this), then don't feel bad. There are plenty of plenty of other activities you can switch to, and you can change your New Year's resolution accordingly. Be kind to your body!

If you've given it a fair shot for a few months and find that it brings you no joy, or if you find out you actually don't have the knees or feet for a high-impact sport like running (pain is a pretty good indicator of this), then don't feel bad. There are plenty of plenty of other activities you can switch to, and you can change your New Year's resolution accordingly. Be kind to your body!

Lucasfilm Shuts Down All Hope For a Sequel to Rogue One
If you've been eagerly counting down the days until Rogue One hits theaters, don't expect to do the same thing for Rogue Two. The Star Wars spinoff stars Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso, the leader of a group of Rebels tasked with stealing the plans for the first Death Star from the Empire so that Luke Skywalker can later destroy it, all while avoiding a band of bounty hunters sent after them by Darth Vader and new villain Orson Krennic. Despite its intriguing premise and the amount of theories already swirling about the familial connections between the franchise's characters, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has shut down any hope for a sequel.
In the latest issue of Empire magazine, Kennedy is joined by Lucasfilm chief creative officer John Knoll and Rogue One director Gareth Edwards in saying that no matter how well the standalone movie does after its Dec. 16 release, that's as far as these characters' stories will go. At this point the prequel to A New Hope is slated to rake in millions of dollars, making it hard to believe that Hollywood execs wouldn't try to capitalize on it. According to /Film's interview with Kennedy last year, however, she's always maintained that these single-serving Star Wars films "are not being designed to necessarily build new franchises." It's a bold choice in a time when sequels are dominating the movie industry and makes us wonder if the same rule will apply to the upcoming Han Solo movie.

Pitbull's Most Frequently Used Lyrics are Predictably Hilarious
A Pitbull party anthem is instantly recognizable when it comes on the radio. The reason might not be something you can put your finger on, but you always know that it sounds distinctively like Mr. 305. Finally, someone on Reddit has pointed out exactly what all Pitbull songs have in common: the singer uses the same combinations of three words very frequently.
Brilliant Reddit user TheHudek created a hilarious bar graph of how many times Pitbull uses his favorite three word combinations. According to TheHudek's calculations, Mr. Worldwide uses "la la la" 118 times and "girls girls girls" 80 times in his songs.

12 Embarrassing Christmas Songs You Definitely Turn Down in the Presence of Others
Christmas is the perfect time of year to grab a cup of cocoa, sit by the fire, and listen to timeless and classic albums from Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby. But while we all can't get enough of the popular holiday tunes every year (Mariah Carey, we're lookin' at you), there are some songs that we just don't want to admit to loving (passionately loving, at that). From Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe" to Hanson's "Merry Christmas, Baby," there are plently of songs that we turn down when stopped at red lights, in elevators with other people, or at our desks at work. These songs live within all of us, and it's time to let our freak flags fly.
10 Survival Tips For the First Year With Twins
I can still distinctly remember our joy on the day we learned our two little guys were on the way. After my husband and I both recovered from the initial shock of witnessing two steady heartbeats on the ultrasound screen, I remember feeling sorry for all of the other expecting moms in the doctor's waiting room thinking most were only expecting one baby. I'd always been an overachiever and, I'll be honest here, this whole having-two-babies-at-once thing felt like the epitome of overachievement.
I wrote a list of suggestions for a friend who had recently found out she was having twins and figured there are other expecting twin mommas out there who could use the same advice. And remember, my boys are 6. I survived. They survived. You've got this.
1. Realize you're in survival mode.
In the first few months, which I affectionately coined the "Let's Just Keep Everyone Alive" season, do not exert energy on any activity that is not critical to the survival of your little tribe. Remember that everyone (importantly, and often overlooked, YOU, momma) needs to eat. Shamelessly enlist friends and family to prepare meals for you. Freeze meals. Order takeout. Do whatever you can to ensure you are feeding everyone.
Drink a lot of water.
Sleep whenever and wherever you can. And do not believe for one second that you will be able to "nap when the babies nap." That is nonsense that moms of singletons throw in your face to make you feel even crazier than you already do. These babies do not sleep at the same time. There is always someone who needs a clean diaper or has to eat. I had a strict rule that if you have arms or feet (sleeping babies in a car seat can be rocked with a foot, thank you very much), you were allowed in my house to help. And while you rock (whoever you are, it doesn't really matter as long as you are rocking/feeding/changing a baby), I sleep. Period.
2. Breathe through the tears.
They will cry. A lot. And usually at the same time. And, yes, you will be alone with them when they cry. At the same time. I'm warning you now; these two teeny, tiny, wobbly little humans will bring you to your knees. Your heart will break when you come to terms with your physical inability to calm both babies. You will cry and you will do your best to contort your arms and legs into bizarre positions in order to attempt holding and feeding two newborns at once. (I had some success holding one while resting one in the crook of my knee while bouncing my leg and rocking my arms.)
And, even though I couldn't stand it when people told me this, I'm going to say it: it is OK if they cry. It's OK. In the spirit of Anna and Elsa, let it go! Let go of the guilt. I promise you, they will soon become these little people who can feed themselves (Yes! It is amazing!) and they will not remember which baby you fed first at 3 a.m. when they were 5 weeks old. They won't. I promise. (OK, I don't know this for sure, but I'm about 99.9 percent confident here.)
Focus on the most urgent need first. Then, move on to the next baby. All the while praying that someone will miraculously drop by to see if you need any help (Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, God, for all of the merciful "drop-ins" during my first few weeks home alone with the boys).
3. How to transport two babies from Point A to Point B.
First, you can cancel your gym membership (as if that didn't already happen the second your doctor gave you the order to stop working out during pregnancy with twins - or was that just me?), because you will be doing some heavy lifting. Lugging two car seats is a workout. Those things weigh a ton. Then, add the weight of the babies. You are easily benching 450, girl (give or take a pound). You are superwoman.
And the trick to getting the babies in the car is to load them up in their infant seats inside of the house. Leave one on the floor while you put one in the car and then go back for the other.
*Bonus points if you have a black lab who keeps watch over the baby sitting inside since you will worry that your newborn has unlatched himself and jumped out of his seat in the 45 seconds that you were away. It sounds crazy, but you too will become a frantic loon when running on two hours of sleep. Just trust me on this and prepare your people for it: lack of sleep can turn the most sane, calm momma into a full-blown crazy person.
4. Don't worry about leaving the house (especially by yourself).
It won't happen. There will always be someone who spit up and needs an outfit change. Or someone who needs a diaper change. Or someone who needs to eat again. Just take each day in stride. If you are able to walk the twins to the end of the driveway in their stroller, count that as a success. Remember that this is just a short season of life. This too shall pass.
5. Really, just stay home (at least for a while).
Trust me, I once tried to meet a friend for lunch the week after the boys came home from the hospital. My friend had also just had a baby so it seemed like a fun idea. I mean, isn't that what new moms on maternity leave do? (Did you notice the very important detail here? My friend had A newborn. ONE.) Speaking from experience, as a momma of twins AND a momma to a singleton, taking one baby to lunch with a friend is completely reasonable. Taking two babies to lunch (with a friend who has her own baby and can't even help hold one of yours) is a bad, bad idea. I'm sorry, people of Panera. You shouldn't have had to see that.
Just avoid it for as long as you possibly can.
6. Be prepared: people are weird and they say weird things.
My favorite: a friend of mine kept getting asked if her boy/girl twins were identical (I wish I were kidding).
People will ask if your babies are "natural" (don't even get me started on that one), and everyone will ask if twins run in your family (an unveiled attempt to be subtle when asking if you conceived with the assistance of fertility treatments).
Just smile and remember that your babies will grow up and become less fascinating to passing strangers eventually.
7. Write everything down.
You will forget which baby you fed at the 3 a.m. feeding. It's inevitable.
*And, on that note, wake brother/sister up after you finish the first feeding to keep the babies on the same schedule. As awful as the thought of waking a sleeping baby is, it's the best option if you hope to get any sleep between nighttime feedings.
8. Let go of expectations.
I mean it. Let 'em go.
9. Slow down and marvel at the miracles in your arms.
TWO BABIES. Double the joy. Truly, each and every day will reveal new reasons to be grateful for the double portion in your arms. Back to #7 . . . write it all down.
I promise, with each passing day you will gain more confidence in your ability to parent these two little people. You will laugh with them and chase after them as they learn to crawl and then walk (in opposite directions, of course). You will watch their individual personalities emerge and you will be in awe of their devotion to one another. You will be overwhelmed with kisses and hugs at the end of a long day.
10. Throw a party on the 365-day mark!
Celebrate! You ALL MADE IT! Toddlerhood brings new challenges, but you survived the first year . . . the hardest by far with twins, in my opinion. Take time to reflect on the past year with loved ones. And, of course, Champagne.

Brie vs. Camembert: What's the Difference?
While both brie and camembert are cow's milk cheeses, are soft-ripening, and have a white, flowery rind, the two aren't interchangeable. So the next time you are at the store and must choose between brie or camembert, here's what you need to know.
- Production: During the cheese-making process, cream is added to brie, but in camembert, it is not; as a result, brie is 60 percent milk fat, while camembert is only 45 percent. In addition, camembert uses stronger lactic starters that are inoculated into the cheese mold five times, contributing to a stronger-flavored cheese. Brie's lactic starters are only put into the cheese mold once, therefore the cheese is milder.
- Outer appearance: The diameters of brie and camembert cheese molds are different. (Notice the Saint André brie to the left appears taller and smaller than the flat, round Ile de France camembert to the right. The camembert cheese mold has a specific size and weight of 250 grams.
- Inner appearance: Brie tends to have a whitish inside, while camembert has a deeper yellowish color. A very ripe camembert will have runny insides; most versions of brie in America, however, are stabilized, meaning the cheese's center will have a firm texture that will never turn runny.
- Smell and taste: Brie has a light, buttery scent and flavor with a salty finish. Camembert can be on the funkier side and smell earthy and barnyard-y like mushrooms or hay, with an intensely savory, umami flavor.
- Affinage: Brie is made to be consumed immediately. While Americans tend to eat cheeses on the younger side, in France, most will practice affinage, or the art of ripening cheese, and will wait for six or eight weeks before cutting into a wheel of gooey, ripened camembert.
Which do you prefer: brie or camembert?

Why 1 Makeup Artist Plans to Sue Kylie Cosmetics
Los Angeles-based makeup artist Vlada Haggerty plans to sue Kylie Cosmetics over the images the company has used to promote its products. According to a statement the artist's lawyer gave Women's Wear Daily, the copyright infringement lawsuit will be filed early the week of Nov. 28.
This is not the first time Vlada has expressed an issue with Kylie Cosmetics's marketing images. Previously, the artist took to Instagram to discuss an image she collaborated on with photographer Julia Kuzmenko McKim in September, which resembles an image used to promote Kylie's Holiday Collection. Additionally, the Jenner sister's iconic "dripping lips" logo closely parallels an artistic style Vlada had popularized prior to the company's launch.
According to a statement from Vlada's lawyer to WWD, the logos cause public confusion. "Kylie Cosmetics sells its products under a logo that is so similar to the dripping lip art style that symbolizes Ms. Haggerty's makeup artist brand that she receives daily inquires as to whether she is associated with Kylie Cosmetics," said Stephen McArthur of the McArthur Law Firm.
Photographer Julia Kuzmenko McKim, who frequently collaborates with Vlada, recently wrote a blog post where she outlined the history of similarities between Vlada's and Kylie Cosmetics's images. Julia claims that the same day she posted the holiday image that Kylie Cosmetics allegedly mimicked, she also posted another image in which she tagged photographer Marcelo Cantu. Marcelo shot the Kylie Cosmetics holiday image in question, and Julia implies in her post that he must have seen the image and used it as inspiration.
Julia also addresses the frequent comment that the lips in the two images are very different. (Julia and Vlada's image contains a glossy lip while Kylie Cosmetics's image features a matte look.) The photographer includes an image of another piece of Vlada's work from September with a lip that looks similar to the lip in Kylie Cosmetics's photo.
Kylie's representative did not respond to requests for comment. Vlada and her lawyer have been reached for comment and this article will be updated as new information becomes available. In the meantime, read on to see the images in question for yourself.
The Easiest Ways to Properly Clean Your Phone - Because It's Disgusting AF
Neglecting to clean your cell phone is a nasty tech habit to break this Fall. Cell phones have been proven to carry bacteria, germs, even feces. Yes, feces. If there's one new routine to create for yourself, it's keeping that smartphone shiny and clean. Your health will thank you. Check out a few of our tech-friendly tips to clean that gadget, below.
- Cleaning your touch screen smartphone is kind of like cleaning your LCD monitor - you don't want to use any harsh chemicals or, even more damaging, water. Using a tried-and-tested cleaner like iKlear ($19, originally $20) will ensure you won't damage your phone's sensitive bits. Use the included microfiber cloth (or one of your own) and shine that baby up.
- If you don't want to spring for a special formula, a 40/60 alcohol-to-water mixture on solid phone parts and keyboards should be OK for your devices (use a damp cloth and/or cotton swab for small and hard-to-reach places). However you do not want to use any sort of alcohol, ammonia, or harsh cleaning agent on touch screens.
- If you're in a pinch and want to quickly rid your phone of dirty crevices and fingerprints, use a piece of Scotch Tape to peel away dirt and dust in between keys, and rid your phone of fingerprints. Perfect for when you're at the office (without a microfiber cloth), but unfortunately it won't help the germ situation.
- Serious germaphobes can ensure a clean device with the PhoneSoap Charger ($60), which cleans, sanitizes, and charges your device all at once. Just drop it in once a day for germ-free surfing and calling.
In the mood to refresh your tech life? Here's nine more bad tech habits to break this year!
