Pajama Dressing Just Went From Impossible to Easy-Peasy
When you hear the words "holiday season," you might think floor-grazing dresses and cocktail-appropriate fit-and-flares. But us? We think of pajamas. There's perhaps no better time to work your cozy separates on the street. Pair them with a red lip and satin heels, and you've nailed a look that's sultry. But work your oversize flannel with boyfriend jeans and must-have loafers for brunch, and you're off-duty chic.
Your PJs keep you warm when it's cold, and when they come in satin or silk, they definitely up the fancy factor. Whether you prefer long robes or you're more of a slip girl, we've gleaned 11 tips from the celebrities ahead. Their memorable outfits will help you try out the trend for yourself, and we've gathered plenty of pieces to help you do so.
Miley Cyrus Will Win You Over With Her Wedding Dress
I don't know when or if Miley Cyrus is getting married. Maybe she doesn't even know. But in my imaginary world, she walks down the aisle in a pretty spectacular wedding dress. You see, ever since I was young, I looked at Miley as someone who represented versatility. She played two different characters on Hannah Montana, and my younger sister plastered posters of Miley all over her walls, some in which she was dressed up like Hannah, others in which she was just herself, in jeans and a three-quarter-sleeved tee. But even when she was just being Miley, the actress and singer looked unique and a little bit quirky.
She's gone through many stages, but there has never been a time when Miley's paid attention to trends. During her rise to fame, she wore flares and cowboy boots, maybe because they were representative of where she came from: Franklin, TN. Post-breakup with Liam Hemsworth (the two have recently rekindled their relationship), Miley kind of went HAM with her wardrobe. And I liked it. What she wore, or didn't wear, was all a part of her personal revolution.
Miley's style at this point could basically be described as costume like. She dressed as a twerking teddy bear and supported LGBT rights in rainbows and big, furry coats. Then, at the 2015 Met Gala, the industry's elite gathered on the red carpet, but Miley stood alone in a cutout Alexander Wang gown. It ended up on some "worst dressed" lists, but I think it was my favorite outfit of the night. It didn't seem like Miley was trying to appear sexy or edgy but just to look like herself.
So now, as outsiders speculate whether Miley and Liam are engaged, I can't help but to imagine her would-be bridal look. I doubt Miley Cyrus's wedding dress will be all white. It might be neon, a mix of colors, or come with an inflatable skirt. Miley might not wear a wedding dress at all, should she get married. Maybe she'll go naked. She recently revealed on the Today show that she prefers to stay out of the fashion conversation: "I don't want people to talk about what I'm wearing. That's usually why I don't wear too much," she said.
One thing's for sure: if Miley Cyrus gets married, her look won't include a ballgown so glamorous, everyone focuses on the pretty (or crazy!) details. They won't be talking about The Dress, because god knows it won't be wearing her. It'll be all about Miley. Read on to see why we know Miley will hit it out of the park on her special day.

If You Try to Figure Out the Mistake in This Math Problem, It'll Make You Go Crazy
Not all math problems are meant to be solved - some are here just to watch the world burn and make people question everything they ever learned in school. And while some problems have different solutions, others have answers that don't deal with numbers at all, like a Facebook post asking people to find a math mistake.
The photo, shared by Facebook user Antley Lamont Staten, shows a photo of a man holding up two sheets of paper. One paper has the numbers 1-9 written on it. The other paper asks people to share when you find the mistake. Try to solve it for yourself below:

11 Products That Will Keep You Looking Flawless as You Transition to Natural Hair
Managing transitioning hair is a lot like dating. It requires the patience of a kindergarten teacher and you need to connect with a variety of prospects (beauty products) before lo and behold, you meet your match. Talk about stressful!
We've read endless reviews of shampoos, deep conditioners, and leave-ins equipped with moisturizing and detangling qualities for ladies embarking on the journey from relaxed to natural hair. While it's important to nourish your kinks and curls to prevent breakage, avoid jumping on the product-heavy bandwagon.
"Women who are transitioning must understand the importance of maintaining the balance of moisture and protein," says Noël Reid-Killings, celebrity and master hairstylist of Noël New York Salon. "New naturals aren't familiar with their natural texture and tend to gravitate towards moisturizing products unnecessarily. What's often seen as dry hair is really just a coarse hair texture. Over moisturizing can be dangerous and cause more tangling with the relaxed hair, leading to breakage."
As you get acquainted with your new tresses and find the right system for your routine, it's time to consider styling essentials and must-have products to make everyday maintenance much more manageable. Hot tools for occasional straight styles, a feel-good detangling brush for wash days (finally!), and vibrant head wraps that can make a three-days-old twist-out look bomb are just a few of our favorites for transitioning hair.
Click through for more details on these and a few other gems you'll want for your arsenal if the big chop wasn't for you. You're one step closer to happy transitioning tresses!

You Can Actually Watch Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Fall For Each Other
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have been together for more than five years now, and in their time together, they've managed to squeeze in more cute moments than some of Hollywood's longest-standing couples. While they are very protective of their private life, they also aren't afraid to hit the red carpet together and gush about each other in interviews - something we hope they always do. It's been easy to follow along with their love story, especially since it began - like many couples in Hollywood - on a movie set, which means you can actually watch them fall for each other with your own eyes. Jen and Justin first met in 2007 on the set of Tropic Thunder, which was cowritten by Justin and starred Jen's good friend Ben Stiller. "I thought he was very sweet and he was always very nice," she said. "But I remember thinking he was very dark. At first you think he could be like a serial killer, but he is actually the nicest person in the world."
It wasn't until 2010, however, that the two reconnected and really got to know each other when they costarred in the movie Wanderlust. While their chemistry is evident as their characters share a handful of hilarious scenes and actually end up sleeping together, they are acting after all. But we dug up the film's bloopers, which prove that they definitely had that spark off screen too. And while an end-of-credits blooper with Jen and Justin isn't available online (it's worth it to buy the DVD), you can still see how they cracked each other up during filming in the gag reel.

Mariah Carey Has a Painfully Awkward New Year's Eve Performance That You Need to Watch Now
Mariah Carey's iconic hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You" has made her the undisputed queen of the holiday as far as music is concerned, but the singer wasn't quite able to keep the momentum going when she performed during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in NYC on Saturday night.
Shortly after taking the stage in Times Square, Mariah, clad in a glamorous sequined onesie and heels, suffered a lip-syncing mishap to "Auld Lang Syne." Then, as the music changed to her 1991 hit "Emotions," she appeared visibly frustrated as she walked around the stage and repeatedly asked for monitors to be turned on during her performance. "Trying to be a good sport here," she said about the technical glitch, explaining, "We didn't have a check for this song. . . we're missing some of the vocals, but it is what it is. I'm just going to let the audience sing. We didn't have a sound check for this New Year's baby, it is what it is." Before leaving the stage, Mariah could be heard saying, "I wanted a holiday too, can't I just have one." Watch the performance above now.

Although the year is coming to a close, that hasn't stopped Gisele Bündchen or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from slipping into swimsuits. And let's not forget Ashley Graham.

When It Comes to Airport Style, Eva Longoria's Looks Through the Years Will Surprise You

It Looks Like Kanye West Got a Big Box of Rainbow Hair Dye For Christmas

15 New Year's Eve Traditions That Might Guarantee Good Luck in 2017
Growing up Latina means that eating grapes at midnight on New Year's is as much of a tradition as watching the ball drop in NYC's Times Square. The details behind that ritual and many more good luck tricks practiced on that night may vary based on your background, but no matter where you're from, all of these seemingly weird activities have one thing in common - making sure you have the most positive year ever.
Here are some traditions you might want to rush into when the clock strikes midnight and announces the beginning of 2017 - you know, just in case! Bonus points if you somehow manage to do all of them at the same time - and if you do, please tell us how you did it.
1. Eat 12 grapes
Let's start with the tradition of all traditions: eating 12 grapes at midnight. Each grape gives you a chance to make a wish, and even if you don't believe all of them will come true, the eating contest is a staple that turns into a fun game to see who can finish their grapes faster and in under a minute.
2. Put money in your shoe
The easiest tradition for the whole family to take part in, even the smallest kids, is to fold a bill inside your shoe and keep it in there through midnight. Variations also include holding the money in your hand or in your pocket, and all supposedly guarantee wealth in the next 12 months.
3. Take a suitcase around the block
One of my favorite memories from being a kid is seeing my cousins and aunts walk around the block with a suitcase on New Year's Eve. Call it a coincidence, but the years they did that were always the years they traveled most, which is the goal of the tradition. I'm a believer!
4. Sip Champagne
OK, almost everyone does this, but toasting with family and friends to the New Year is a must in a Latin household. You better believe the bubbly will be poured at least 10 minutes ahead of midnight with everyone holding a glass in one hand and their grapes in the other.
5. Start the year off on your right foot
Literally. Receive Jan. 1 standing on . . . well, just your right foot, or your year will just not go that great.
6. Color-coordinate your underwear
This tradition is basically a combination of a mood ring and a cootie catcher - a color will determine your fate. Red is set to bring you good luck in love, and yellow is meant to sprinkle luck and prosperity throughout your whole year.
7. Wear your underwear inside out
Once you've settled on what color underwear you want to wear, make sure to wear it inside out, and then swap it back in the first few minutes of the New Year. The desired outcome here is to have plenty of clothes throughout the New Year.
8. Keep a bucket of water handy
A big part of the New Year is starting January with only positive vibes. To do this, many Latin families clean their house from top to bottom. You're taking this tradition to the next level if you also decide to throw a bucket of water out the door (or window).
9. Don't clean your home too much
Yes, you can do some spot cleaning and make sure everything is in order for the night of festivities, but sweeping is out of the question. You don't want to sweep away any good fortune.
10. Burn "año viejos"
When I explain this tradition to some of my friends, they don't understand why a doll is created just to be burnt at midnight, but like most traditions, this is in hopes that whatever/whoever did us wrong in 2015 stays in 2015. In Latin America, you can see these dolls burning in the street. In the US, you might want to create a miniature version and safely do this at home.
11. Choose your outfit wisely
Whether your tradition is to wear all white or wear a completely new outfit from head to toe on New Year's Eve, either will make sure that luck is on your side in 2016.
12. Make a New Year wish list
You might not write a wish list for Santa, but you're definitely writing one for the New Year. You want to make sure you have your list written out, so that you can read it to yourself at midnight.
13. Keep a handful of lentils
This tradition can be done in various ways: one option is to cook the lentils and eat them at any point on the Dec. 31. The second option is to put them in a baggie and hold them in your hand - or put them in your pocket. Either way, this gesture calls for a year of prosperity.
14. Put your candles to good use
Light candles on New Year's Eve as a way to make next year one you can really enjoy. Color is important here as well - red is for love, yellow will help with finances, and green brings good health. If you have kids in your family, have them blow out the candles as a way to ensure they work.
15. Sit and stand . . . then sit again and again
If you're looking to have someone put a ring on your finger in the New Year, sit and stand three times to up your chances of marriage.
15 Photos of Mahershala Ali That Will Make You Question Everything You've Ever Known
When it comes to celebrity crushes, there are the Hemsworth-lovers, the royal worshippers, and the Pratt fanatics. You know who there should be? Mahershala Ali mavens. Mahershala Ali maniacs? Whatever. The bottom line is that the supremely talented actor, who you probably know for his memorable role as Remy Danton in House of Cards, is not only one of Hollywood's biggest up-and-coming stars, but also a total smokeshow. We're going to be seeing a lot of his gorgeous face come award season thanks to his work in Moonlight, so there's no better time to reacquaint yourself (or get acquainted, period). The 42-year-old is happily married to artist and composer Amatus Sami-Karim, but there's no harm in drooling just a little bit over a few photos of him, right? Right.
Facebook's Year-in-Review Video Will Make You Cry in Under a Minute
Facebook just shared its annual video that looks back on the year's many triumphant, funny, and disheartening moments - and how they played out on the social media platform. Facebook debuted the 2016 year-in-review video with a caption that read, "Today, we remember what was on our minds in 2016 and the moments we shared together." The video includes highlights like history being made at the Summer Olympics, Pokémon Go, and NASA's unprecedented look at Jupiter. Many low points, however, also come to mind - namely the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Syrian refugee crisis, the entire United States presidential election, and the loss of many icons like Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, and Prince.
It was an emotional roller coaster of a year, one that Facebook parsed through with grace. Watch the video above.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin Could Not Look Any More Like Twins If They Tried

Adriana Lima's Changing Looks Through the Past 16 Years Will Leave You Saying: "Is That Really Her?"
Do you remember the first time you ever saw Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima on a runway or a beauty ad? You probably don't. The 35-year-old model looked so strikingly different back then, when she started her international career in the late '90s, that you wouldn't have recognized her.
Adriana's changing looks have nothing to do with the passing of time - she just has a knack for reinventing herself and looking totally different after small changes of her cut or color and even makeup. That's probably why she's been a model for Balmain, Maybelline, and Versace and is the Victoria's Secret Angel with the most years under her belt. Read on to see Adriana's amazing evolution, and prepare to say "that can't be her; is it?" at least a few times.

The Best Running Workout For Newbies
If you're new to running, I'm a firm believer in easing into your relationship with running to give your body time to adjust to the physical demands - you don't want to get so sore that you never want to run again. Mixing walking and running is a great way to get your heart rate up while priming your body for distance and speed. Here's a 40-minute walking/running workout perfect for beginners - or for seasoned runners in the mood for a lighter workout.
Click here for a printable version of this workout. As always, if this workout is too hard or too easy, feel free to decrease or increase the speed. I would keep the incline set to 1.0 because this helps prevent shin splints, which can be a common problem for new runners. Try to do this workout three times in one week. The following week, after warming up for the first 10 minutes, run for three minutes and walk for three minutes, keeping the last two segments at two minutes each, then cool down with walking. Try it. You just might get hooked on running.

Faster Than Drive-Through: This Perfect Egg Sandwich in Under a Minute
A perfectly poached egg in 25 seconds?! It seemed too good to be true, but that's what the Casabella Microegg ($10) promised. I'm not one for endorsing unitaskers, but this round, silicone pouch seemed too intriguing not to try. So, I decided to go for it and found myself seriously in love with this tool. Yes, the egg really will cook up in the microwave in 25 seconds and just the way I like it (the whites cooked through, the yolks runny as hell). Here's how to create my version of the perfect homemade "McMuffin" in under a minute. Now, you really have no excuse to pick up drive-through for breakfast.
- Cut an english muffin in half width-wise, then toast to your liking.
- Meanwhile, coat the Microegg with cooking spray. Crack the egg inside the Microegg. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Close top securely and microwave for 25 seconds exactly. My egg "popped" once on the last second, giving me reason to believe you don't want to leave it in the microwave any longer!
- When the english muffin is toasted, slather about one tablespoon of salted butter on each side. Carefully open the top of the Microegg and slip the egg on top of the bottom half of the english muffin. Add a slice of cheese (or avocado) to the top, close, and demolish!
