Whatever You Do, Don't Sit in This Row on Your Next Flight
I recently survived a six-hour flight without being able to recline my seat. I thought to myself, Seriously? What are the chances of this happening again?, referring to another lengthy trip I had flown just months before. And then as I continued to think back on most of my recent flights, I realized that I've had a "broken" seat on multiple occasions - cue the ultimate face-palm moment. I always aim to book the closest seat to the front as possible and usually, the closest available option on Virgin America air crafts is row eight - aka the one in front of the exit row, but also known as the row that doesn't recline.
It makes total sense! Just as you're required to keep your tray tables upright during takeoff and landing, the exit row in particular needs to remain unobstructed for safety. It would only make it more difficult for those passengers to assist in an emergency if the seats in front of them were in the way. If you enjoy neck and back pain, book a seat in that row, by all means.
In addition to the row in front of the exit row, here are a few other sections you should really try to avoid on your next flight.
- The last row: Sure, you're conveniently located near the bathroom - but you're also right next to the bathroom. On top of unpleasant smells, you'll also have to deal with standing passengers waiting for their turn in line. Oh, and your seat doesn't recline, either.
- The exit row: Extra legroom is awesome, but this spot also comes with a couple drawbacks. Depending on your aircraft, your seat's tray table may fold into the armrest, which usually equals a narrower seat. And if your plane has two exit rows, the first row of seats don't recline.
- The bulkhead row: These seats are situated in the first row of the main cabin, behind the wall that separates you from first class. Again, you get to enjoy extra legroom but your seat will most likely be narrower to accommodate the tray table in your arm rest. Plus, you won't be able to stow your personal items beneath the seat in front of you, so you'll have to access the overhead compartment each time you need something.
Enabling This Feature on Your Amazon Echo Device Could Save Your Life
Alexa is capable of many things, including helping you with your fitness goals and getting you more organized, but there is one thing she can't do. She cannot call 911 for you in the case of an emergency. You can only communicate with those in your contacts who have their own Amazon Echo device or via the Alexa app.
However, there is a potentially life-saving skill that every Echo-device owner should enable ASAP: Ask My Buddy. Ask My Buddy is a free service on Amazon Echo and Google Home platforms that can alert anyone in your Personal Alert Network any time you need help. If your phone is out of reach and you need urgent assistance, simply say "Alexa (or "Hey Google"), Ask My Buddy to alert James," "Alexa, Ask My Buddy to send help," or "Alexa, Ask My Buddy to alert everyone." Alexa will then immediately send a text, email, and even voice call to your contact or everyone on your list alerting them to check on you right away.
This feature is a great backup for seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals who live alone. To get started, pull up your Alexa app and tap on "Skills" in the menu drop down. Search "Ask My Buddy" and enable. You will then be redirected to Ask My Buddy's site to create an account and add up to five contacts to your Personal Alert Network.
Though Ask My Buddy is not a substitute for 911, it can give you peace of mind knowing that help is nearby. You never know when you'll need it!

John Legend had the crowd on their feet praising him for his portrayal of Jesus Christ during NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live on Sunday night. But it wasn't until his magical performance of "Gethsemane" that every single person watching immediately had chills running down their spines in awe of his vocals. It was one of the most jaw-dropping moments of the entire live musical, and even Chrissy Teigen admitted her husband was nervous for this song. Watch the incredible performance above, and then, check out all the thoughts fans had while watching Jesus Christ Superstar Live.

The Internet Is Bowing Down and Obsessing Over NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live
Did you kneel at the altar of NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on Sunday night? Even if you didn't get a chance to watch the network's latest live musical - NBC previously put on The Sound of Music Live! and The Wiz Live! - the good folks on Twitter had more than enough opinions to spare. While it seems pretty much everyone was enchanted with Sara Bareilles's performance of "I Don't Know How to Love Him," they also couldn't get enough of the man himself, played by John Legend (personally, we're still obsessing over his performance of "Gethsemane"). Take a look at the best tweets about Jesus Christ Superstar Live below - the good, the bad, and the holy.
LeBron James Hopped on Stage and Surprised Justin Timberlake With Shots, Like a True Friend
No one does surprises quite like LeBron James. During a legendary weekend in Cleveland, the 33-year-old NBA star made history by shattering a record for double-digit scoring previously held by Michael Jordan. Justin Timberlake sat on the sidelines, cheering him on and, of course, playfully messing with him. Seems only natural that LeBron should return the favor and get in Justin's zone, right?
On March 31, LeBron hopped on stage during Justin's concert, shocking the 37-year-old Man of the Woods artist and the audience in the best way possible. The concert then came to a halt as LeBron passed shots to each of the band members, and Justin toasted his "brother." The hilarious duo was all laughs, joking about what Justin previously whispered to LeBron on the court. "When the fourth quarter came around, I said, 'So what are you gonna do?'" Justin told the audience, shot in hand.
These two obviously know how to make each other crack up, and we already know they make us laugh nonstop, so is it too much to ask for a future project between the two in the future? We already know they have both have acting chops. Just a suggestion.
James Van Der Beek Calls That Crying Meme His "Favorite Thing" About Dawson's Creek
James Van Der Beek, the man who brought Dawson Leary to life, knows why the internet really remembers him: That. Crying. Meme. The cast of Dawson's Creek recently reunited to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, and the 41-year-old actor gave his viral meme the attention it really deserves.
"I feel like everybody on this show cried more than I did and I was the one who got caught in the loop!," Van Der Beek said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, while Busy Philipps called him the "best meme ever." She even whipped out her phone to show fellow castmate and BFF Michelle Williams, who had surprisingly never seen the meme before. Meanwhile, Joshua Jackson reassured Van Der Beek that it's not how often he cried but how he cried that did it.

"I love it. It's my favorite thing about the whole show," Van Der Beek joked. "It's hilarious to me that you can work for six years on a show . . . and it gets boiled down to three seconds. It's a perfect way-of-the-internet."
There's a Pretty Horrific True Story Behind Ridley Scott's Chilling New Show, The Terror
The premise for Ridley Scott's new show on AMC, The Terror, is the stuff of frigid nightmares: two technologically advanced Royal Navy ships sail from England to the Arctic in an attempt to finally discover a navigable passage through the Northwest Passage in the 1800s but end up stuck in the North Atlantic, turning their journey into an icy, survivalist hell. Oh, and lest you think it's just a colder version of Master and Commander, there's also a bloodthirsty monster roaming around. See what we mean about nightmares?
While the supernatural twist in The Terror is a haunting one, what's even more, well, terrifying is that the show - which is adapted from Dan Simmons's acclaimed historical novel of the same name - is actually based on a true story. Apparently the truth is not only stranger than fiction, but also far more horrific.
Although the true story of the two ill-fated ships, the H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror (most ominous ship names of all time? Jeeze!), lacks the appearance of a vengeful ice monster, they indeed got stuck in the North Atlantic ice in 1845 while on a similar mission to explore the Northwest Passage. Not only that, but the major players are also the same: Captain John Franklin and Francis Crozier, who are portrayed in The Terror by Ciarán Hinds and Jared Harris, were the real leaders of the doomed 19th century sea voyage.
There were 129 members of the expedition, all of whom disappeared virtually without a trace. The only clue as to their whereabouts other than a few skeletons was the wreckage of the two ships, which wasn't actually uncovered until more than 150 years later. Rumors about what could've happened to the men swirled for decades, which is what no doubt inspired Simmons's occult version of the strange tale.
So, what really happened to the men of the H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror?
In May of 1845, Franklin and Crozier navigated the two ships from the UK to the Arctic's Northwest Passage along with their officers and crew. Franklin, though respected, was nearing 60 years old and wasn't the Navy's first choice; instead it wanted famed explorer William Parry or Naval officer James Clark Ross, both of whom refused to go. Eventually Franklin was given the post, and Crozier, an officer from Ireland who'd successfully journeyed to Antarctica with Ross, was dubbed his second in command. They were last seen by European whalers in Baffin Bay - an area between Greenland and Canada - awaiting good conditions to enter the Arctic labyrinth, as The Terror notes in its chilling title card. Then they vanished, despite Franklin and Crozier's experience.
Given their high-profile voyage, multiple search parties were sent out when no word had been received from the men by 1847. Over the next 12 years, more expeditions traveled in the Erebus and Terror's footsteps in hopes of finding any scrap of information, with the British government offering significant reward money for anyone who could find them. In 1852, Admiral Edward Belcher's search party on the H.M.S Resolute got stuck in the ice, but it ended up being fortuitous - they found another search party led by Robert McClure, who left on a mission years earlier and was presumed dead. In his attempts to escape the ice and find rescue, McClure accidentally ended up discovering and crossing the Northwest Passage, and when they all made it back to England, he was given a knighthood for his groundbreaking achievement.
Finally, an 1859 search party led by the Irish explorer Francis McClintock and sent by Franklin's second wife, Lady Jane Franklin, discovered a few skeletons of crew members, as well as written accounts of what happened during the expedition up to 1848. You don't need to read it for yourself to deduce that surviving freezing temperatures with a dwindling food supply and no chance of rescue likely made for a harrowing few years.
According to the diary, the ships got stuck in the ice in September 1846, and a little over a year and a half later, Sir Franklin and 23 other men had died. The men who were still alive decided that their best bet was to travel south on foot. The freezing journey proved too difficult, and the remaining men died after resorting to cannibalism. The latter gruesome claim was later supported when Canadian archaeologists stumbled upon the wreck of the Erebus in 2014 while searching for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the Queen Maud Gulf and within it found human remains with knife marks on the bones.
As for the Terror, the wreckage was found in 2016, marking 168 years after it set out on its voyage to the Arctic. It was "found in pristine condition at the bottom of an Arctic bay" by a team from the charitable Arctic Research Foundation, according to The Guardian. All three masts were broken but still standing, and almost all the hatches had everything still stowed.
It's an eerie conclusion to the Arctic mystery that had been plaguing archaeologists and historians alike for years. There's still no word on whether or not the remains of a giant, angry Inuit spirit monster were found in the wreckage of either ship, but fortunately that's why we have The Terror. The 10-episode series, which premiered on March 26, promises plenty of gory thrills and chills in your future. You better buckle - and bundle - up.

Here's Exactly When Black Panther's Letitia Wright Pops Up in Ready Player One
Letitia Wright's star is most definitely on the rise in Hollywood thanks to her scene-stealing role as the wise-cracking Princess Shuri in Black Panther. So, where can we see the British actress next? If you haven't already checked out her intense performance in season four of Black Mirror, there are two places she's set to pop up: the first is Ready Player One, which is in theaters now, and the second is the epic Marvel team-up film Avengers: Infinity War. While we unfortunately have to wait a little while for the latter, we have the lowdown on her role in Ready Player One, Steven Spielberg's nostalgic romp through the future.
The bad news is that if you blink at any point during the film, you might actually miss her. That's seriously how quick her appearance is. The good news is that we can tell you exactly when to pay attention!
Note: light spoilers for Ready Player One below!
Wright's character is listed simply as "Reb" on IMDB, which stands for rebel. To give you some background, the film follows a teenager named Wade (Tye Sheridan) throughout a dystopian future where everyone is so miserable they spend all their time in the OASIS, a virtual reality world everyone can access with advanced VR equipment. Halliday, the creator of this world, ends up hiding an Easter Egg somewhere in the OASIS shortly before his death that will gift its finder with all of his fortune and control of the OASIS. Everyone goes after it, including an evil corporation that wants to gain control of the OASIS, called IOI.
Because of IOI's nasty treatment of its users who go into debt - they're taken prisoner and forced to toil away in cramped cells forever as avatars - a rebellion rises up to stop IOI from ever gaining control of the OASIS. At one point in the film Wade ends up at one of the rebellion's safe houses, and that's where Wright comes into play. When another character drops off groceries, she's the one who picks them up and gives them to the rest of the "Rebs," or rebels, staying at the safe house. Of her role, Wright recently told Yahoo that even though it was small, she got to share a personal moment with the director himself.
"I don't have a big role. Reb is like rebel. I'm one of the rebels at the end," she explained. "I might not even be in it. You might not even see my face but I've got a credit! And Steven Spielberg; I saw him, I met him, I shook his hand so I'm taking it!"
While we obviously we wish she had a bigger part to play in Ready Player One, at least we all have her sure-to-be memorable role in Infinity War on the horizon. Just imagine how fun her banter with Bruce Banner and Tony Stark is going to be!
Taylor Swift Returned to the Nashville Cafe She Was Discovered in For a Surprise Performance
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego Taylor Swift? The singer-songwriter has largely been absent from the public eye since dropping her latest album, Reputation, which didn't include the usual high-profile press tour. Well, whether you're a loyal Swiftie or still obsessing over the details of Swift's lingering feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, we're here to report that she resurfaced for one night, and one night only, at the Nashville establishment that helped launch her country career over a decade ago.
According to The Tennessean, the 28-year-old gave a surprise pre-Easter performance at Nashville's famed Bluebird Cafe. She joined country songwriter Craig Wiseman for a quick, intimate set that included stripped-down versions of hits like "Love Story," "Shake It Off," and "Better Man." The Bluebird Cafe was actually one of the first places where Swift performed in the early days of her career, making the performance even more special.
"I wanted to say a big thank you to the Bluebird Cafe," she reportedly told the 40-person crowd. "I think any songwriter in town would echo my sentiments and say that this is kind of the only place where this exists - this particular place where you get to come and hear the writer's take on the songs they've put out into the world."
Taylor Swift singing Shake It Off, one of her biggest hits at the place where she got discovered is the greatest thing I've seen today! 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/5P6sZJYG8w

Of course, getting sentimental about her humble beginnings wasn't the only thing that happened. Wiseman, who's collaborated with the "Delicate" singer on a number of tracks, told a pretty hilarious story about Swift getting a little too cozy with a bottle of whiskey at a Country Music Awards after-party.
"I got her a shot of Fireball, and then I got her another one," Wiseman began. "For the rest of the party, I would go get a shot of Fireball . . . and snake my hand through the people [on this balcony] in her general direction. I don't even know if she took it, but it disappeared." To celebrate the memory, Swift gamely took a shot of that very whiskey while up on stage with Wiseman "for old-times sake."

Kate Middleton and Prince William Step Out For Easter Service Ahead of the Arrival of Their Third Child
Prince William and Kate Middleton made their annual appearance at Easter church service in Windsor, England, on Sunday. Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward also joined the happy couple at St. George's Chapel, which is where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot next month.
Kate kept things simple, dressed in a black coat and matching hat with tan heels and a matching clutch for a pop of color as she and her husband stopped to chat with Madeline Carleston and Amelia Vivian, two 6-year-old girls whose parents reportedly work and live in the castle. Madeline and Amelia's parents told reporters that Kate revealed her two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were definitely in the Easter spirit, sharing that they "had been on an Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning."
Noticeably missing, though, was Prince Philip, who has been experiencing some "trouble with his hip" lately. Also absent were George and Charlotte for the second year in a row. Harry and his fiancée, Meghan, also skipped the service due to previous engagements, People reports. Read on to see more photos of Kate and William's latest appearance before the arrival of their third child later this month.
You 100 Percent Know (and Love) the Songs in Westworld's Season 2 Trailers
The Westworld season two trailers may have left us with more questions than answers, but fortunately, we can answer one of your most nagging questions right now: why do those songs sound so familiar?! In the show's Super Bowl ad, above, a slow cover of Kanye West's "Runaway" is the tune that plays in the background. This same song has been used in trailers for 2013's The Hangover Part III and 2015's The Night Before. The movie and TV industry loves to put Kanye's music in trailers, and it works here. Just take a look at these lyrics:
"Yeah I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my sh*t just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douche bags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can"
It's a stretch, but the lyrics do kind of illustrate the dynamic between Dolores and Maeve and their puppeteers. They've been putting up with this sh*t for way too long, and now they're going to run away from this fabricated life. Then again, perhaps the music department at HBO just liked the iconic piano bars at the top of the song. In any case, here's the full video of "Runaway," off Kanye's 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
As for the new trailer, which dropped on March 29, the song used is a little harder to place. This time around, the good folks at HBO went with an orchestral cover of the 1993 Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box," which is more fitting than you might realize. Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi is responsible for creating the haunting version of the In Utero classic, and though the lyrics aren't heard, they hold some pretty serious significance when you consider all the season two theories that have been floating around the internet lately.
When you take into account how the hosts are essentially dying and being reborn each day, the line "Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back" definitely resonates. What's more, the song's opening lyrics seem like a clear nod to the prison the hosts are essentially locked within throughout season one, whether they want to be or not:
"She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnetar pit trap trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"
Still not sold? Listen to the beautiful cover for yourself below.
Laguna Beach and The Hills: Where Are They Now?

The True Confessions of an Ex-Vegan
A rescued Thanksgiving turkey and me, in 2010, having been vegan for just over two years
I am a food editor who is a former hard-core vegan. Today I may eat the worldwide gamut of food, but if you had talked to me between the ages of 19 and 22, I would have turned my nose at anything containing dairy, eggs, seafood, or meat. For two and a half years of my three-year stint as a vegan, I lived in Los Angeles, the land of celebrities, yogis, and health-conscious people in general. Every corner had a vegan restaurant and green juice joint, and there was fresh kale and berries aplenty, year-round. I felt utterly convinced that I was doing the right thing for the planet, for animals, and for my health. However, all that changed when I moved to New York City upon graduating college.
I always knew I wanted to be a food writer/editor, so I packed my bags and headed to New York City to attend a plant-based culinary school. "What sort of food writer is vegan?" my mom exasperatedly questioned me. I never saw it as a limitation, even when I dined at some of the finest restaurants in the world. In fact, I believed the best chefs were the ones who could produce a vegan tasting menu full of creative, interesting flavors, rather than simply serve a plate of steamed broccoli. I still think this is true.
When I arrived in New York City, I immediately immersed myself in the vegan community. I worked as a chocolatier in a vegan chocolate/wine shop, attended yoga classes every day at a notoriously vegan studio, and joined all the vegan meetups I could. My weight (and energy) were at all-time lows, yet I attributed it to my busy schedule and the rigor of city life. The only thing I couldn't handle was the hunger. Sure, being vegan, I felt my stomach grumble every couple of hours, though in New York, I felt painfully hungry constantly.
And then, I started dreaming of steak. I mean, x-rated, slow-mo, sizzling food-porn dreams. I'd wake up in a panic and run to the kitchen to stuff myself with spoonfuls of peanut butter, pea protein powder smoothies, and leftover lentils. Despite attempting to eat every type of vegan protein known to mankind, I'd always leave the kitchen unsatisfied, salivating, and angry because I still envisioned a big hunk of charcoal-grilled steak with bloody juices seeping onto the plate.
"If your body is trying to tell you on a subconscious level that it needs the nutrients from a steak, then listen to it."
I was in such a conflicted state. Perhaps it was part pride (I'm saving the environment; emotional, sentient beings; and myself by being vegan) and part fear (how can I face my job, my yoga studio, my vegan friends, and my vegan sister if I decide to quit?). I neglected those steak dreams for three months before I finally booked an appointment with Annemarie Colbin, the founder of Natural Gourmet Institute, who has a Ph.D. in holistic nutrition.
I told her my predicament. "I'm vegan and I'm dreaming of steak," I shamefully admitted. She looked at me amused. "Then you must eat steak," she responded matter-of-factly. I exasperatedly explained, "You don't understand. I can't just eat steak. I've made a commitment! Isn't there some bean-grain combo that can give me the nutrients I need and make these dreams disappear?!" She shook her head. "If your body is trying to tell you on a subconscious level that it needs the nutrients from a steak, then listen to it."
I didn't listen to her then. Instead, I tried to deny the truth and became obsessive about which grains to pair with which beans to form complete proteins. Nothing was working. Then, I started to dream of salmon, too. Flaky, Asian-glazed salmon with a crisp skin. Waking up from those dreams was agonizing, and I'd shlep to the kitchen to eat my sad, slimy bowl of sprouted amaranth cereal.
Right before Christmas, a few friends from culinary school planned a trip to go to a farm in upstate New York to learn how to slaughter chickens. Despite growing up around hunting camps and hunters, never in my life would I have considered killing an animal for food. I was so ravenously hungry, the thought of doing so excited me. My primal needs to hunt and eat meat were kicking in. Though I didn't join them on that trip, it was a turning point. It was time to break up with veganism.
Me, in June 2014, at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen
I went home for the holidays and spoke to my vegan sister. While we were getting ready for Christmas dinner, I whispered to her, "I think I'm going to eat a steak on New Year's." Eyeing my ghostly complexion and exposed ribs, she didn't even blink before saying, "Yeah, that's a good idea." I don't know why I needed that green light, but I did. No one in my family, save for my sister, thought I'd actually go for a filet mignon on New Year's, until the waiter took my order, and I said, "I'll take the eight-ounce, medium." And that was that.
I watched the plate of steaming steak waltz through the dining room until it finally landed in front of me. The caramelized crust, the bloody juices, and the unmistakeable, smoky aroma matched the steak of my dreams. And that first bite - lord have mercy - that first bite couldn't have been more perfect. I danced in my seat with giddiness, feeling rebellious and relieved all at once. A lot of people claim that going back to meat can be upsetting on the stomach, but I didn't have a single problem. The same went for returning to dairy.
The biggest challenge of giving up veganism was realizing how much I had let it define me and influence my relationships. I became aware of how enraged and difficult I was. Over the past few years, I didn't have much compassion toward fellow humans, and I blamed them for factory farming and their lack of consciousness. I demanded that my friends and family go to vegan restaurants and questioned them for their eating habits constantly.
Today, I think I have a much healthier approach to food and, most importantly, to fellow humans. I tend to sway toward fresh produce, legumes, and grains, with some meat, seafood, dairy, and eggs, of course. I support my local farmers and fishers so that hopefully there will be better options in the world and fewer factory farms. Sure, wild, grass-fed, and organic is way more expensive, but it feels better to me to eat higher quality less of the time than to eat meat for every meal.
This experience taught me that my body is constantly evolving. What works in one city, in one period of my life, may not work in another. It's all about being open, experimenting, and seeking the guidance of professionals when necessary. Oh, and creating balance. The key word is definitely balance.
3 Lessons I Learned From the You Are a Badass Book
I like to read while eating breakfast, and today's session resulted in me finishing the phenomenal You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. The book pictured is a cute little mini version, but I just finished the real deal. And if you still haven't read this valuable yellow book, make sure to get your hands on it! It's relatable and funny, and it provides the kick in the behind that so many of us need. Jen Sincero comes across as a good friend with the tough love and positive thinking that everyone needs in their life, and her style of writing kept me engaged the whole time. Of all the "aha" moments she lends to her audience, here are the three biggest takeaways that I got from this eye-opening book.
1. You need to play the part to get the part.
This made so much sense to me. You Are a Badass reminds us that it's important to dress, act, think, and socialize for the success that we are working to achieve right now, and not just when you finally achieve your goals. By playing the part, you're raising your frequency of getting the part, because the universe will recognize that you're open and ready for it, and therefore it will send opportunities your way. Furthermore, I connect with this idea because there's really no need to deprive ourselves of the good things in life just because we haven't gotten "there" yet. I now believe that we should all dress, act, think, and socialize for the life we want to live right this second and keep working toward our goals along the way. I'm not saying to buy the Ferrari next Tuesday, but live at the frequency you deserve and desire.
2. Open yourself up to the universe.
This book taught me a lot about how every ounce of my soul needs to be committed to the type of life and opportunities I want in order to have them come my way. To surrender yourself to the universe is to trust with gratitude that everything will work out, that all the good things are on their way, and that we just need to keep hustling in the meantime. Financially, it's a slow time of year in the service industry, so my bank account has been a little weary. However, I haven't lost faith in the universe that it will all work out just fine. Instead of worrying or being angry or frustrated, I've surrendered to the belief that it will work out because it always work out, and I know in my heart I will always do whatever it takes to keep things afloat and forward-moving. That being said, my bank account reflected a substantial deposit yesterday that I had nothing to do with. As it turned out, my last company took care of some loose ends and provided me with some unknown vacation pay. Thank you, universe! Good vibes only.
3. Just do it already!
You are a Badass is a true kick in the butt to encourage you to live an active lifestyle. We can read all the self-help books, study all the tactics, or focus on being perfectly prepared for the main event . . . or we can just go for it already. Sincero lends the healthy reminder that it doesn't matter what other people think, and it doesn't matter if there are doubts. If we truly want something with every fiber of our being, the only way to get it is to go in manifest mode. And by striving for an active lifestyle, I don't just mean physically. Sincero brings to light the fact that we need to go for our goals with our emotions, our spirits, our brains, and our bodies in order to reach our highest goals and gain our highest frequency. And we don't need to commit our whole beings only when we're "ready;" we need to just do it now. It's this kind of thinking that has me writing early in the morning. I'm not sure exactly what I want to be doing for work in 10, 15, or 20 years, by I know this is the avenue I want to take. So before heading out for the day, I'm working toward my goal of having a happy life that's self-directed and creative. Onward and upward, every day.

6 Steps to Take to Wind Down For a Good Night's Sleep
There's a lot of advice on how to create a good bedtime routine for a baby, but not so much for adults. We can take a few tips from the classic "bath, book, bed" regime that's often rolled out for infants, though. For a while I had difficulty falling asleep, and then struggled to sleep well through the night, so I made a few changes to the period before bedtime, and they made all the difference.
1. Screens Off
One of the hardest changes I made was limiting my screen time late at night, but the evidence was undeniable - on the nights when I worked on my computer right up to bedtime, it took me ages to settle down to sleep. The scientific reason to make this change is that blue light from your devices can disrupt circadian and melatonin rhythms, which basically means your body thinks it's daytime. A lot of guidelines recommend turning off screens one hour before bed, but if you can't manage that, try to turn off your electronics at least 20 minutes before your head hits the pillow. There are plenty of other things you can do in that time; here are a few that work for me.
2. Bath
I've always enjoyed the relaxing effects of a hot bath, but I tended to have one earlier in the evening. When I moved bath time closer to bedtime, I found it helped me to fall asleep. You could add essential oils that are said to have sleep-inducing properties, like lavender. If you're not a bath fan, try a shower instead. When you come out of warm water into a cooler bedroom, the drop in your body temperature sends signals to your body that it's time to rest. You also have the benefit of being clean, and we all know how uncomfortable (not to mention unhygienic) it is to sleep with makeup on.
3. Book
. . . or music or a podcast. Basically, if you still need something to help you wind down once you're under the sheets, you can try anything that doesn't involve a screen. I favor a book, and one that's not too exciting (nor too heavy), as I often fall asleep while reading.
4. Notes
In that quiet time before sleep, my brain often fills with reminders. When I used to keep my phone in my bedroom, I would use that to make notes. That's a big no-no. Not only did that then suck me into a drawn-out spiral of checking emails and social media, but it also meant I was engaging in screen time at entirely the wrong time. Now I keep a pen and notepad by the bed so I can scribble down reminders the old-fashioned way. That's one of the 12 steps I took to kick my phone habit.
5. Stretch
It's often only when I stretch out in bed that I realize how achy my body feels. I've been cramped up at a desk for most of the day, and I'm not at all good about taking regular stretch breaks during daylight hours. So I make up for it a bit at bedtime by really stretching out my legs and shoulders, in particular. Since doing this, I've woken less in the night with aches and pains. There are even yoga moves you can do in bed if, like me, you don't make time to do them during the day.
6. Breathe
Finally, when I'm still trying to nod off, I try breathing meditation. If your mind wanders, try some techniques to maintain focus, like visualizing your thoughts floating past like clouds, or focusing on the subtle sensation of breath at the tip of the nostrils, or bringing your attention to each part of your body in turn. There's also a 4-7-8 breathing technique, which can help with anxiety, too.

Ditch Distractions and Get Productive With a Method Called "Deep Work"
I first heard about the idea of "deep work" while listening to a podcast on my way to work. NPR's Shankar Vedantam interviewed Cal Newport, a computer scientist and Georgetown professor, about his research and insights on the subject.
Newport shared how he manages to get a seemingly impossible amount of work done - including writing books, publishing academic papers, and teaching courses - all while leaving work by 5:30 p.m. and making time for his family and personal life.
I don't have a lot in common professionally with Newport, but his success is undeniable and inspired me to check out his book Deep Work: Rules For Focused Success in a Distracted World to learn about how I could be more productive and improve my focus.
What is deep work?
Deep work boils down to the relatively simple idea that working distraction-free allows you to both improve your professional capabilities and produce higher-quality, more valuable work.
Take a second to think about your work habits. How often do you stop to check social media? Or immediately look up whatever random idea pops into your head? Or answer an email the second you receive it? In the span of writing this intro alone, I've had to resist the urge to do everything from chiming in on a funny group text to looking up recipes for the banana muffins that I would like to make later.
Newport argues that the state of multitasking and constant distraction we live in is seriously affecting our work. It usually feels like there's never enough time to do everything we want to as a result of the daily grind of unfulfilling but necessary tasks. And having fragments of our focus in a million places at once can reduce our ability to contribute our best work in the current moment. Deep work tackles this by saying you can reevaluate your habits to use your time more productively, create more meaningful work, and get better at what you do so you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible.
How can I try deep work?
A lot of the things distracting us aren't inherently bad; they are often a necessary part of our jobs or day-to-day life . . . which unfortunately makes it even more difficult to overcome the habits affecting our ability to concentrate.
Even though it would take some serious effort, I couldn't shake the idea that I was holding myself back by being unwilling to challenge myself to work smarter.
Here are some of the top tips I learned from Deep Work that you can apply to help you crush your goals both at work and at home.
- Block off time to focus.
You probably spend less time than you realize getting down to work without interruption. If you put it in your calendar, it's easier to commit to a distraction-free block of time. Get to work before everyone else or find an hour when you can sit in a quiet place and knock out an assignment or make headway on a project. Set ground rules for that time, like no emails or Twitter breaks. It seemed counterintuitive to me to think I could simply decide when I would do good work. I tend to wait for a good idea (or deadline) to strike. However, the experts say this is a common mistake. We can facilitate inspiration by setting aside time to work hard. - Set boundaries to stay on track.
In many office cultures, we often try to look really busy so everyone else knows we're working. Newport calls this "busyness as a proxy for activity" - basically, doing lots of stuff in a visible manner but not actually getting a whole lot done, besides feeling more stressed. We all get sucked into situations like scrambling to be the first to answer the boss's email. But stopping what you're doing to answer every message that comes through makes it a lot more difficult and time-consuming to jump back into the task you were previously working on, even if you don't realize it. Rather than having my email always open in front of me, I started trying to wait 30 minutes in between inbox checks. It turns out not all that much can't wait a half-hour for your response. You don't have to be a hermit or risk getting in trouble, but you can take back some control over your workday to accomplish a bigger goal. - Know when to disconnect.
As we're starting to learn more about the benefits of taking time to disconnect, it's not uncommon to see people "detox," whether it's one day per week device-free or a whole month. Newport takes a different approach. Instead, he says you should schedule time when you are allowed to go online, like during lunch or once an hour. That way you give yourself a break from focusing, rather than trying to take a break from distraction. For this to work, it's crucial that you stick to your rule. This means no defaulting to your phone to kill time while you wait for your friend at the bar or for a meeting to start, unless it's during a scheduled break. Making this a habit gives your brain a workout in resisting mindless distraction, even when you really want to give in to boredom with something more entertaining. - Schedule your free time, too.
You know that one friend who seems to magically have time for a demanding job and a fabulous social life, plus traveling, volunteering, and on and on, all while looking great and getting eight hours of sleep a night? Well, she's not necessarily any more amazing than you, but she probably does schedule out her time carefully. Just like you plan your workday, plan what you'll do in your downtime. These things don't necessarily have to be productive. You can plan to do relaxing activities like watching a show, taking a bath, or calling a friend, all of which give your brain a chance to relax and recover. But you'll probably find that by paying more attention to what you're doing (and not falling into deep, dark Instagram black holes), you'll free up time to dig in to other interests too, like brushing up on a language app or trying to cook more.
We've all seen or shared the "You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyoncé" quote on Pinterest or Instagram. But it's only relatable because it's true! I suspect the people we admire most aren't only super hardworking or talented. They also make the most of their time, even when it's difficult to do so. If left unchecked, distractions impair our ability to filter out the noise and focus on building the best version of ourselves. It's not easy to make the changes that Newport lays out in Deep Work. But if you want to take your career goals to the next level, it's certainly worth the effort to try.

Whatever You Do, Don't Sit in This Row on Your Next Flight
I recently survived a six-hour flight without being able to recline my seat. I thought to myself, Seriously? What are the chances of this happening again?, referring to another lengthy trip I had flown just months before. And then as I continued to think back on most of my recent flights, I realized that I've had a "broken" seat on multiple occasions - cue the ultimate face-palm moment. I always aim to book the closest seat to the front as possible and usually, the closest available option on Virgin America air crafts is row eight - aka the one in front of the exit row, but also known as the row that doesn't recline.
It makes total sense! Just as you're required to keep your tray tables upright during takeoff and landing, the exit row in particular needs to remain unobstructed for safety. It would only make it more difficult for those passengers to assist in an emergency if the seats in front of them were in the way. If you enjoy neck and back pain, book a seat in that row, by all means.
In addition to the row in front of the exit row, here are a few other sections you should really try to avoid on your next flight.
- The last row: Sure, you're conveniently located near the bathroom - but you're also right next to the bathroom. On top of unpleasant smells, you'll also have to deal with standing passengers waiting for their turn in line. Oh, and your seat doesn't recline, either.
- The exit row: Extra legroom is awesome, but this spot also comes with a couple drawbacks. Depending on your aircraft, your seat's tray table may fold into the armrest, which usually equals a narrower seat. And if your plane has two exit rows, the first row of seats don't recline.
- The bulkhead row: These seats are situated in the first row of the main cabin, behind the wall that separates you from first class. Again, you get to enjoy extra legroom but your seat will most likely be narrower to accommodate the tray table in your arm rest. Plus, you won't be able to stow your personal items beneath the seat in front of you, so you'll have to access the overhead compartment each time you need something.
Small Bust? Shop 20 Figure-Flattering Suits to Enhance What You've Got
Swimsuit shopping is a unique battle for anyone, especially if you're self-conscious about being smaller up top. Arm yourself with tricks and you'll be able to stroll seaside with confidence.
- Flaunt what you have, and fake what you don't. If you're looking to create more cleavage, opt for an underwire bra top (or padding). A structured top will shape what you have, while padded cups can actively fake more if that's the look you're after.
- Distract, distract, distract. Ruffles, bold prints, and splashes of color are all far busier than a simple, solid suit and can claim an onlooker's attention.
- Embrace what you can wear. Tiny tops and unique shapes are cute but often spell disaster for women with larger chests. Trendy styles are easy to conquer when support isn't mandatory, so go ahead and play around with fun cuts.
Now that you're up to speed, just read on to shop the cutest suits for small-busted beach babes.
