Let's All Bask in the Beauty of Troye Sivan Together, as a Group
This year has already been quite an exciting experience for Troye Sivan. The queer indie pop star has been hot on the music scene with bops like "Bloom" and bangers like "My My My." And on top of that, he made his Saturday Night Live debut and even set up a dreamy collab with Ariana Grande! But music and career aside, there's something else about Troye that we really must address: his absolutely jaw-dropping gorgeous face. Sometimes he looks like an angel, and sometimes he looks a precious porcelain doll. But the bottom line is that he always looks like a cutie. So, we slapped together a gallery that slaps almost as hard as his music.

A Breakdown of the Who, Where, and Possibly Why in Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman" Video
Ariana Grande has come through with another music video, and this time she's shaking the table with some seriously trippy visuals - and we're into it. Not only does the "God Is a Woman" video feature a surprise vocal cameo from Madonna, but there are also screaming lemmings, Greek and Roman mythological creatures, and more. "God Is a Woman" is not just a female empowerment bop; it's Grande's anthem embracing her femininity and her sexuality and combining those themes with spirituality in a visually rich and symbolic-as-all-hell music video.
There's so much to unpack in the music video, it might seem a bit much. Luckily, I am more than ready to tackle the challenge of decoding the references and have included some of the standouts here. Enjoy!
The Queer Eye Season 2 Episode That Left the Fab Five Crying Into Their Happy Meals
After two emotional seasons, Queer Eye has become known for making both its viewers and hosts involuntarily sob. While different moments resonate with each member of the so-called Fab Five, Antoni Porowski recently shared the season two episode that definitively guttered them all. (Yes, it's the episode about Tammye.)
In the season two premiere, "God Bless Gay," the Netflix show's Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Jonathan Van Ness, and Porowski help Tammye renovate her local community center in preparation for an annual homecoming event. Along the way, they counsel and make over the mother and cancer survivor in the heartwarming way they often do, and in return, Tammye radiates positivity and imparts her life-changing wisdom. It was such a special episode in fact, that it was actually filmed as the season finale.
"Tammye's episode was actually filmed as the last one. Originally, it was going to be the last episode to air of the season," Porowski told POPSUGAR in a recent interview. "It was such a fricking emotional rollercoaster - as you can see from my snot-crying throughout the episode." After realizing the impact of the episode, it was decided that it would instead open the season. "It was the one episode where we weren't sitting down and watching her accomplish her mission. It was more of a 'she's teaching us' episode."

Though the cast was "relieved and excited" to wrap the season and get back to their respective families, the emotional experience of filming Tammye's episode made them want to share one last meal together . . . at McDonald's. "We stopped by McDonald's and we all fully binged," Porowski said. "I had three cheeseburgers, a Big Mac, a six-piece chicken tender, a McFlurry, the Oreo one, and - oh, yeah - and I had a chicken Snack Wrap, the one that has mayo and iceberg lettuce."
After their McDonald's feast, Porowski said the Fab Five drove around listening to Rihanna and Britney Spears. "It was amazing," he said. "Yes, we were brought together through artificial circumstances, chemistry-testing, and Netflix, but we're all friends for life and we all consider ourselves brothers."
These Hilarious Questions About Sex Are So Pure, We Almost Feel Bad For Laughing
I vaguely remember sex-ed from elementary school. I can recall anatomical worksheets and giggling when my teacher explained it all to us. I remember a boy in my class falling backwards in his chair and fainting while we watched The Miracle of Life. Our teacher had the daunting task of walking a group of curious, shy, embarrassed children through this topic, so she opened up an anonymous question box, through which students could ask questions and receive honest answers - a bold move.
Well, it appears my sweet teacher was not the only one with this brilliant idea. A now-viral tweet proves that teachers are still using this tactic, and kids are still so (hilariously) pure with their responses. I truly couldn't stop laughing at one child's question about a "penise" and a "Virginia." Also, there's apparently a child out there who "knows" intercourse takes 24 hours? I gasped. Check out the full list of questions ahead and see if you have a favorite - people on the internet have already picked their own.

I Love You, Family, but Please Don't Ask to Stay
I don't think there is any way for me to say this without sounding like a jerk, but I dread it when relatives ask if they can stay at my home. It's not that I don't love them or enjoy spending time with them. I do - but I have my limits.
I was raised by a strict Italian mother who prides herself on her well-kept home. When company was coming over, she'd put my brother and me to work cleaning every nook and cranny in the house and making sure everything was spotless for our guests. Although I admit I am not as great of a housekeeper as my mother is, I did inherit the need to clean like a crazy woman when my relatives are coming and the intense anxiety that comes with not having everything in order. It turns me into the Energizer Bunny, but instead of being cute and fluffy, I'm stressed and angry. My husband can always tell when family is coming over - and he knows to steer clear of me.
I also stress over the fact that I will be cooking for my relatives. Between helping my two school-aged children with homework and chauffeuring them to their extracurricular activities, our dinners often consist of macaroni and cheese or a pizza we picked up on the way home - definitely not something I would be proud to serve my visiting relatives. I know they will politely smile and say, "It's fine," but deep in my heart, I know that this greasy deep dish pizza is not Pinterest-worthy. Even if I do have the time to cook a wholesome meal for my relatives, I worry that they won't like it and will be too polite to say so.
As I mentioned earlier, I have two young children. One of them has ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and thrives on routine. When we have company over, my kids are understandably excited and want to stay up at night with them. Unfortunately, if my child's bedtime routine is off by just a little bit, it will throw her entirely out of whack. She will have a difficult time falling asleep, get a bad night's rest (as will my husband and I), and then will have a horrible day at school due to her exhaustion and inevitable irritability. Some of my relatives understand this and will try not to get the kids worked up at night, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, their mere presence is what is exciting my kids and throwing their routines off.
As an adult, I enjoy routines as well. After I do the dishes in the evening, for example, I make my kids' lunches, pay bills, and do some laundry. When relatives are over, I feel responsible for entertaining them. While I am forcing myself to make chitchat with them, which is something I am not very good at, I end up neglecting my other responsibilities. I suppose I could multitask, but folding my lingerie while talking to Uncle Andrew about his upcoming hip surgery just doesn't sound right to me. Having family over disrupts my routines and my life!
To my relatives, I love you. I appreciate you. I enjoy spending time with you. But please, don't put me in an awkward position by asking to stay at my house. It sends my stress level through the roof, gives me anxiety attacks, and throws the lives of everyone in my family off. Please respect that so that I don't have to respectfully decline.
Mom Giving Birth Has No Idea Her Dog Was By Her Side the Entire Time
When photographer Kristin Waner was documenting the home birth of a mom named Brooke, she quickly noticed that the family dog, Ranger, was in nearly every shot.
"From the moment I walked in the door, Ranger was so excited," Kristin, who owns Kristin Ann Photography, said. "You could tell he knew something was happening. He quickly came in to greet me, then headed right back to the bedroom to be with Brooke as she labored. He was very curious as to what was going on."
"You could tell he knew something was happening. He quickly came in to greet me, then headed right back to the bedroom to be with Brooke as she labored."
Although birth in itself is beautiful, Kristin couldn't resist snapping a few extra photos of the "bond between mom and baby and man's best friend." Every moment she saw the corgi interacting with Brooke, she tried to take as many photos as possible. "I knew this was special," she said.
Once they moved to the birthing tub, "Ranger would come and give her another reassuring kiss, then back to the couch he went" until a baby girl, Berkeley, was born.
Although Kristin noticed the presence of the "little doggie doula," she realized that Brooke didn't. "When I sent the preview to Brooke, she had no idea he never left her side," she said. "It was so nice that I could capture that for her and she now can look back and see things she otherwise might not have noticed."
What also made these photos of Ranger so moving was that Kristin had also photographed Brooke's two previous births and recalled that with the very first delivery, she had a sweet dog named Ryder, who also never left her side. "Ryder did not get to see the birth of Berkeley, but his brother Ranger was there to step in. I am so glad she was given not one, but two sweet corgis to help guide her through her journey."
Read on for all the moving photos from both dog-friendly births.
6 Things You Need to Know About Raising a Middle-Schooler
If one thing can be said about Bo Burnham's debut feature film, Eighth Grade, it's that the movie isn't your run-of-the-mill coming-of-age story. While there are dozens of flicks out there that center on the first kiss between two tweens and romanticize the entire concept of growing up, Eighth Grade is not one of them.
Instead, the film focuses on Kayla Day (Elsie Fisher), a 13-year-old with big dreams for the future, who, like most kids her age, is struggling with her confidence. Viewers are taken on a wild ride watching Kayla go through rites of passage like having a more-than-serious crush on the popular boy at school and dealing with moments of crippling insecurity at a pool party, all set to a pretty banging soundtrack.

7 Chemical-Free Hacks For Keeping Bees Away

The Reason Why 1 Mom Breastfeeds Her 7-Year-Old Son Will Make Critics Swallow Their Words
Lisa Bridger, a single mom of five from Australia, knows just how beneficial breastfeeding can be. Coupled with her job at Occupy Breastfeeding, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping mothers "take back" the concept of feeding their children, it's no surprise Lisa is a big proponent of extended breastfeeding. And while Lisa has been nursing on-and-off for decades - her oldest daughter is 22 years old - Lisa admits that she's been breastfeeding her 7-year-old-son Chase, who has autism, longer than usual.
She told POPSUGAR that she often tandem feeds Chase alongside his 4-year-old brother for several reasons, including the fact it helps soothe him when it seems like absolutely nothing else will.
"It helps him reconnect after a meltdown; he won't take medication," she said. "My milk contains melatonin, which helps him get to sleep."
The Right Way to Cover Up a Hickey - So You Can Get Back to Business
If you thought having a hickey in high school was embarrassing, try having one as a 24-year-old young professional. Combine that with a penchant for men with vampire-like kissing styles and pale, easily bruised skin and you get me - the most hickey-prone individual you could meet.
After a particularly steamy evening, I woke up the next morning to find a crater-sized red mark on my neck. Back in the day, I might have freaked out, but I've become a pro at the cover-up. The key is in just a few essential products: a color-correcting concealer, a toothbrush, an ice pack, and powder. Keep reading ahead for my tried-and-true tips to looking like a put-together human as quickly as possible . . . so you can go back to all that Summer loving.
Yellow Blush Is Here - and It Looks Surprisingly Good
You may not think a lemon or mustard hue could look anything but sickly on the skin, but get this: yellow blush is here, and it's surprisingly wearable. Not only is the high-fashion look versatile, but it also looks flattering on a range of skin tones. You can wear it with a coordinating yellow-orange eye shadow or lip, or keep the rest of your makeup minimal. While there aren't many blushes available in the particular shade, a yellow shadow does just fine. (It's possible that the trend started when Rihanna debuted her yellow-gold highlighter Fenty Trophy Wife ($34) in 2017, so you could also use that.)

5 Steps to Take If Your Skin Is Reacting Badly to a Beauty Product
Getting a skin reaction can be scary, particularly if you don't know what to do to calm the irritation. Whether it was caused by using too many products, using products with ingredients that clash, or just plain using the wrong product for your skin type, it's hard to know what to do next. We asked aesthetic doctor Dr. David Jack and medical director Dr. Ross Perry for a step-by-step guide on how to deal when your skin starts acting up.
Step 1
It might sound simple, but stop using the product. Even if you think your skin might be "purging," your complexion shouldn't hurt. Dr. Perry recommends thinking about what you've recently added to your routine that may have triggered the reaction.
Step 2
Wash your face well with fragrance-free soap and water to remove every trace of product.
Step 3
If the skin is red and irritated, Dr. Jack recommends applying a calming lotion like calamine. If the skin is blistered, use an antiseptic lotion. Dr. Perry adds that you can also apply some over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to help with inflammation and itching, and if you notice any puffiness, take an antihistamine tablet (like Benadryl).
Step 4
Dr. Perry recommends you "keep the area well moisturized with greasy hypoallergenic creams, such as Sudocrem."
Step 5
Know when it's something more serious. Dr. Jack says that if the problem is an acid burn, "these need to be properly neutralized." Talk to your dermatologist if this is the case or if the irritation is spreading to other areas of your face or getting worse.

Ariana Grande’s Hair Is Blonder and Longer Than Ever on Elle's New Cover
Ariana Grande is back with another gorgeous magazine cover and once again, the ponytail is nowhere to be seen.
After letting her hair down for her Vogue UK cover last month, Grande has upped the ante even more for the August edition of Elle. Her hair has never been longer or blonder - and it's so good. One glance at Twitter is enough to confirm that Arianators are serious fans of the new cover. One tweeted, "HOLY F*CKING F*CKS. ARIANA LOOKS SO F*CKING AMAZING ON THE COVER OF ELLE MAGAZINE IM CRYING!! 😍😍😍"
Her superlong blond hair was styled by Josh Liu, and you'd never guess that this was their first time working together, "swishing and tossing strands by the handful, just out of frame, for hours" on set. Although her most recent shoots have shown her in a new light, this probably isn't the end of her iconic pony. Grande hasn't forgotten about her signature style with all this new-found glamour. When asked what her favorite ponytail was, she responded: "the high, sleek, dark one. But she takes many forms. Many forms. There are lots of different girls in this sisterhood."
As for the makeup, it was kept minimal. Makeup artist, Patrick Ta did a neutral-toned lip, fresh skin, and barely-there eye shadow.
You can see the full feature in the August issue of Elle, available online now, or on newsstands July 24.

Joanna Gaines Found The CUTEST Pacifiers For Crew, and We're Obsessed!
Ever since Crew Gaines made his debut on Joanna Gaines's Instagram account, we've noticed two things: that he is just as adorable as we'd imagined and that olive green is definitely his color.

We Need to Talk About Disneyland's Magical Doughnut Selection, Y'all
If your doughnut doesn't inspire exclamations of envy from random passersby, is it really worth it? (Probably, because doughnuts are the freakin' best, but that doesn't serve to illustrate our point.) Thankfully, the fried, doughy rings of goodness at Disneyland are the best of the best. It wasn't until quite recently that Disney started offering doughnuts for hungry guests, but the addition to the resort's snack selection was an instant hit.

6 Closet Organization Tips I Learned Straight From an Ikea Pro
Marie Kondo once said, "Storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out." From personal experience, I can attest she's right. For years I lived with my bedroom in a state of perpetual clutter for the sole reason that there was no easy place for me to put my stuff away. Piles of pants grew into mountains, purses overflowed out of one tiny closet until the door wouldn't close, and shirts took up long-term residency atop one of three dilapidated dressers because the broken drawers required exhaustive wrestling to open. Soon the room was more laundry pile than personal space. I was overwhelmed, and my response was to keep the door shut.
Despite the poor condition my clothing and accessories were living in, I valued them and had spent time building a fashion collection I cared about. I wanted a storage solution to match; something that not only accommodated all my items, but celebrated them. I wanted a celeb-worthy dream closet - but getting Champagne on my beer budget wasn't going to be easy. Just when I had given up and resigned to living in a name-brand garbage dump, Ikea reached out to me.
The retailer's incredibly talented home tour makeover squad knew just how to give me the luxurious high-fashion wardrobe storage solution I craved at a reasonable price. Designer Stephanie Recupero led the project. After seeing the space and learning of my needs, she declared that a customized Pax wardrobe was just the solution I was looking for. Check out the slideshow ahead to learn Stephanie's six pro design decisions that made my closet so fantastic, and then read how my new wardrobe impacted so much more than my clothes.

These Photos From the Loveland Theme Park in South Korea Will Make You Blush
Jeju Loveland: A place in Korea where sex-themed art and eroticism meet. The Loveland Theme Park opened up in 2004 and boasts 140 works of art that may make you blush - but are undeniably interesting to look at. The park also runs sex-education films and has some interactive pieces as well. And of course, there are ample photo opportunities featuring various phallic sculptures and depictions of people in moments of extreme pleasure.
All penis jokes aside, Loveland is pretty remarkable in that, being the only sex-themed park in Korea, it aims to break down traditional taboos about sex. While sometimes graphic, the overall experience is one of a kind. Visitors must be 18 to enter, and admission is just a little under $10 USD. Take a look at the kinky photos of the park ahead.

Get a Gleaming Bathroom Fast With This 1 Nontoxic "Magic" Soap
Let's face it - bathrooms are gross. Even the tidiest among us still have to deal with hair-clogged drains, grimy sinks, and shower tiles coated in thick layers of shampoo, conditioner, and who knows what. But when cleaning day comes around, forget toiling away with rolls of paper towels, scrub brushes, and several different harsh chemical cleansers. All you need is this one bottle of magic soap, and you're just minutes away from a sparkling-clean bathroom. Pull your hair back, pump the jams, and let's get to work! You'll be good to go after just one song.
After discovering Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Liquid Soap while on my quest for nontoxic beauty products, I was hooked. These 18-in-1 soaps are really just that with near limitless cleaning possibilities around the house. I wash my feet with peppermint soap for a cool tingle, hose the dog off postbeach with lavender soap, and tuck a small bottle of sweet almond for shampoo and body wash in my gym bag. But on one particularly rushed morning, I accidentally spilled more than my intended amount of soap into my bathtub. While mopping it up I made another brilliant discovery: I have seen no other product, chemical or nontoxic, clean up the slimy shower grime the way Dr. Bronner's did.
Getting down with the dirty is easier than A-B-C, baby. Here's how it's done!
Gather Your Arsenal
All you need is a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Liquid Soap ($16), a sponge, and an empty spray bottle. Any scent of soap will do. Most are blended with essential oils for an aromatherapy-like cleaning experience, so pick your favorite. I love using lavender for calmer vibes or citrus for a pop of energy. Gentle unscented is also available (and even gentle enough for babies' delicate skin).
Dilute Your Soap
To power-clean your bathroom, Dr. Bronner's blog recommends diluting your soap with water at a 1:4 ratio in a squirt bottle. Shake it all up and stash it under the sink, making future cleanups a breeze.
Spray, Wipe, Shine!
Spritz a few bursts of your soapy-water mix onto all of your bathroom services. Then grab your sponge (or Magic Eraser) and wipe up the grime. Rinse and dampen your sponge in between surfaces to make sure all of the product and scum is gone. You can use this same spray on your countertops, in the bathtub and shower, and on and around the toilet. You can even mop with it - simply dilute one-half cup of soap into three gallons of hot water and swirl the mess away.
Time-saving hack: I love cleaning my shower while I'm actually in it. That way, I don't mind getting wet, and the shower spray rinses all of the residue away without wasting more water with a separate wash! Plus, I can use the Dr. Bronner's soap safely on the shower surfaces and my body alike.

Target Is Holding Its Own Mega Sale on Amazon Prime Day; My Bank Account Is Shaking
All right, it's time to break out your wallets. Looks like July 17 is gearing up to be the deal day of the year. While Amazon Prime members have been eagerly anticipating Prime Day for months, Target just introduced itself to the game in a bold way by holding a mega sale on the same day - "no membership required."
Target's deals are no joke either. The superstore is offering 25 percent off beauty brands, so stock up on all your drugstore favorites. Grab a Google product such as Chromecast or a Google Home for up to 30 percent off (no shade to Alexa). You can even start a home redesign at a discount by snagging some Target-exclusive decor at 30 percent off.
This sale isn't just for adults; your little ones can benefit from the savings as well. The mega sale will have deals on toy brands, 30 percent off select baby gear, plus $5 savings on books, when you spend $20. There really is something for the whole family. Plus, if you end up spending more than $100 on Target's website, you qualify for free six-month same-day delivery through Shipt.
So, if you're interested in the savings on either site, set an alarm in your phone: Target's Mega Sale starts the morning of July 17 and ends at midnight, while Amazon Prime Day starts at 3 p.m. ET on July 16 and ends at midnight on July 17. Shop one, the other, or . . . shop both! May the savings be ever in your favor.
We Need to Talk About Disneyland's Magical Doughnut Selection, Y'all
If your doughnut doesn't inspire exclamations of envy from random passersby, is it really worth it? (Probably, because doughnuts are the freakin' best, but that doesn't serve to illustrate our point.) Thankfully, the fried, doughy rings of goodness at Disneyland are the best of the best. It wasn't until quite recently that Disney started offering doughnuts for hungry guests, but the addition to the resort's snack selection was an instant hit. As it turns out, nobody does doughnuts quite like the happiest place on earth!
You can find Disney doughnuts at several locations throughout the California resort: the Coffee Cart near Fantasy Faire on Disneyland's Main Street, Schmoozies in Disney's California Adventure, and the Disneyland Hotel Coffee Shop. Most items in Disney's impressive doughnut selection run about $6 per pop, but based on photos from contented park guests, they definitely seem worth the cost!

6 Closet Organization Tips I Learned Straight From an Ikea Pro
Marie Kondo once said, "Storage should reduce the effort needed to put things away, not the effort needed to get them out." From personal experience, I can attest she's right. For years I lived with my bedroom in a state of perpetual clutter for the sole reason that there was no easy place for me to put my stuff away. Piles of pants grew into mountains, purses overflowed out of one tiny closet until the door wouldn't close, and shirts took up long-term residency atop one of three dilapidated dressers because the broken drawers required exhaustive wrestling to open. Soon the room was more laundry pile than personal space. I was overwhelmed, and my response was to keep the door shut.
Despite the poor condition my clothing and accessories were living in, I valued them and had spent time building a fashion collection I cared about. I wanted a storage solution to match; something that not only accommodated all my items, but celebrated them. I wanted a celeb-worthy dream closet - but getting Champagne on my beer budget wasn't going to be easy. Just when I had given up and resigned to living in a name-brand garbage dump, Ikea reached out to me.
The retailer's incredibly talented home tour makeover squad knew just how to give me the luxurious high-fashion wardrobe storage solution I craved at a reasonable price. Designer Stephanie Recupero led the project. After seeing the space and learning of my needs, she declared that a customized Pax wardrobe was just the solution I was looking for. Check out the slideshow ahead to learn Stephanie's six pro design decisions that made my closet so fantastic, and then read how my new wardrobe impacted so much more than my clothes.

Iskra Lawrence's Bikini Was Made For a Sexy '70s Vixen - Can You Handle That?
We were immediately obsessed with Iskra Lawrence's halter-style ring bikini when she wore it in red in March 2018. The design is from Aerie, though it's not yet available on the site. Anyhow, it's got major '70s influence thanks to a row of rings that bare cleavage down the front of the suit. Iskra sported the black version in Miami on the beach, pairing the top with standard, cheeky-fit bottoms and oversize frames to play up the retro vibes even more.
