My Teeth Whitener Is Only $11, and Even My Dentist Comments on My Pearly Smile
As a broke future beauty editor in 2013, I was a college student without a whole lot of spending money for cosmetics. I spent hours on YouTube researching the most affordable and effective products so I could indulge my beauty obsession while still being able to afford groceries. While watching a Kandee Johnson video, she revealed that she used Plus White Five Minute Whitening Gel ($11) to get her teeth white. Curious, I ran to the drugstore and picked up the white tube, and I have been using it ever since. You can apply it with a cotton swab, but I usually just swipe it on with my fingers. The gel works so well that I even got a compliment from my dentist on my bright, shiny teeth.
While the name is "five minute white," the directions actually instruct you to leave the gel on your teeth for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. After a few times of using it, you can keep your teeth from getting stained by touching it up with five-minute sessions of whitening. While this tube used to be a little hard to find, it's now available on Amazon, so it can be sent straight to your door in no time. So sip your coffee and red wine with abandon!

My Dad Was a Committed Blood Donor. Now, I Give to Honor His Memory
My skinny twig of a dad played rugby. When I was young, my family's social life revolved around the matches. For me it was all about pretending to watch the games, playing with other kids in the corn fields next to the rugby pitch, post-game chili feasts, and all the general revelry that accompanies rugby. The team was tight; it felt like a brotherhood.
When the Red Cross called our house regularly to schedule blood donation appointments with my dad, it made perfect sense, since his Chevy proudly displayed a bumper sticker that read "Give blood. Play rugby." My kid logic simply connected those two activities; I thought my dad donated blood every six weeks with his rugby team. Yeah, I have since figured out there was no such connection, but I must admit, it took longer than one would have anticipated.
My dad never told me why he was dedicated to this form of charitable giving. I never asked. Maybe it had to do with serving in the Navy for five years as a young man. He did brag that he had really good blood, once, in a small attempt at machismo, which was not really part of his personality. When he was diagnosed with cancer and had his blood drawn for tests, his oncologist remarked how healthy he was based on his hemoglobin levels (or something like that). So, even as cancer cells were taking over his body, he blood stayed strong.
He passed away 15 years ago (f*ck cancer), but my sister and I have kept up the mantle. We each try to donate blood two to three times a year - neither of us have been able to match our father's dedication. Each time I fill out the forms, get the pin prick test, and sit in the recliner and squeeze the ball to plump up my vein - through all this I remember my dad. Specifically, I remember him in the small acts of giving from different phases of his life: handing out five-dollar bills to the homeless; giving his pocket change to buskers; picking up kids with no rides to take to soccer practice (and then taking them home); volunteering at the children's hospital, teaching kids with terminal illnesses to tie fishing flies; and cleaning up polluted creeks.
After 15 years, the memories of my dad can feel tenuous, but after the donation process is complete and I get to drink the OJ and eat the doughnuts (his favorite), I feel connected to him. I mentally toast to him with my juice. This is my small memorial to him, and I am pretty sure he'd be proud. We can't all play rugby, but most of us can give blood.

Want to Know If You Have a Slow Metabolism? The Signs to Look For, According to an Expert
As fitness continues to become more individualized, scientific topics such as metabolism will continue to become more mainstream. Having a better understanding as to how your body functions is essential to optimizing your health, but it's important to get this information from credible sources. To learn more about metabolism and indicators of a slow metabolism, POPSUGAR spoke with Avigdor Arad, PhD, RDN, CDE, director of the Mount Sinai Physiolab.
What Is Metabolism?
There's a lot of correct and incorrect information floating around as it pertains to metabolism. According to Dr. Arad, metabolism is a complex process that relates to your body's ability to produce energy from fat, sugar, protein, and how it stores energy. Usually, when people talk about their metabolism, they mean their metabolic rate which is the number of calories their body burns in a period of time, Dr. Arad said.
Signs of a Slow Metabolism
The amount of calories your body burns in a period of time, aka your metabolic rate, is often categorized as fast or slow. Fast meaning your body efficiently processes energy, and slow meaning there's something preventing your metabolism from working as efficiently as possible.
If someone has a slow metabolism, they may experience symptoms such as "weight gain, they would be very fatigued, [have] low energy, and they're going to have difficulties to complete simple tasks," Dr. Arad explained. "You may see some physical signs like dry skin, brittle nails, or their hair is falling out a little bit. They may suffer from migraines and there may be cravings for sugar because they think that's going to help them stay awake," he said. Symptoms such as low energy and brittle nails occur because your body isn't processing energy correctly. "It could be just not able to digest, break down, and absorb certain nutrients that are vital," Dr. Arad said.
People tend to jump to the conclusion that they have a slow metabolism, but Dr. Arad said, "a slow metabolism is actually rare," and "in most cases it's related more to a lack of sleep, poor diet, or a lack of physical activity." Other factors that contribute to a slow metabolism are medical reasons such as imbalanced hormones and thyroid disease, he explained. If you suspect you have a slow metabolism, you should consult an endocrinologist and should consider getting a resting metabolic rate test (RMR) done.
What Is a Resting Metabolic Rate Test?
Everyone has a different metabolic rate based on variables such as genetics, physical activity, and age. To determine your metabolic rate, you'll need to get a resting metabolic rate test (RMR) that costs approximately $250. Unfortunately, you can't get these tests on Amazon or at your gym. Instead, you'll need to go to a specialized clinic such as Fitnescity.
From this test, you'll learn whether your metabolic rate is on the faster or slower end of the spectrum. If your results indicate that you have a slow metabolism, there are ways to biohack and boost your metabolism.
How to Boost Your Metabolism
To boost your metabolism, Dr. Arad recommends eating less sugar, consuming more protein and healthy fats, and strength training. Here are more expert-approved tips you can begin implementing today to boost your metabolism. If you're looking for strength workouts to follow, here's a four-week program for beginners.

As a fashion girl, even I'll admit that dressing in the Winter can feel uninspired. Now that it gets dark at 4:30 p.m. (why?!) and the temperature's dropped, it is so tempting to throw on your favorite jeans and a cool sweater and call it a day.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Are Visions in White at the Critics' Choice Awards
We're not exactly sure what we did to deserve to live on the same planet as Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, but we're grateful nonetheless. Sunday night the Hollywood power duo attended the Critics' Choice Awards - just a week after they appeared at the Golden Globes - reminding us they're a sight to behold. Emily modeled a gorgeous white gown with silver details, while John rocked a white jacket over a black suit.
Emily received two nominations as best actress and best actress in a comedy for her lead role in Mary Poppins Returns. John also received a nomination in the best original screenplay category for his work in A Quiet Place. Not only did John write the thriller - which won the Critics' Choice award for best sci-fi/horror movie - but he also starred in it, alongside Emily. Naturally, their chemistry is just as strong off-screen as it is on. And, thankfully, we're getting a sequel.
John also recently opened up about seeing his wife play Mary Poppins on the big screen, admitting that he shed quite a few tears. Emily talked about his sweet response to the film with Us Weekly, telling the publication, "It was wonderful to see him that emotional about it, and I think he himself, amongst other people I've spoken to, have said they don't know why they are so emotional about it."
The award season always brings us some of the best celebrity moments to cherish, and seeing Emily and John together is certainly one of them. View more photos of their blue carpet appearance at the Critics' Choice Awards ahead!
Winter Comes to the Crypts of Winterfell in a Chilling New Game of Thrones Teaser
We know that, for fans, the premiere date for Game of Thrones's eighth and final season, April 14, feels like an eternity away. With all the clues being dropped by the cast about what we can expect in the last season, it's hard not to let that impatience get to you. Luckily HBO has finally given us a little something more than the sneak peeks we got in the network's marketing videos for their 2019 lineup, which included a chilly meeting between Sansa and Daenerys Targaryen in Winterfell. Now there's a full-on teaser!
In it, Sansa, Arya, and Jon march through the crypts of Winterfell, passing statues of their late relatives, like Ned and Catelyn Stark. When they reach a far wall, though, the trio stumbles upon something incredibly foreboding: statues of the three of them, hinting that their own deaths might not be that far off. Then a threatening wave of ice and frost creeps through the crypts, as Jon and Arya draw their swords.
Once you finish making a few theories based off of the most recent clip - as well as the clip HBO previously shared of Jon being embraced by Sansa - you should also watch the teaser dropped on Dec. 6, which is much more about reading between the lines. In it, below, we see the map of the Seven Kingdoms on Daenerys's Painted Table at Dragonstone. Frost slowly consumes Westeros as fire rises from the south, until the two clash in what we have no doubt is a fearsome battle.
Though the new clips are short and cryptic, they do give fans more than enough to speculate on the who, what, where, and whys happening in the next season, and that will definitely get us through as we wait for more info. Check out the video above and after your fourth rewatch (at least), read these theories on how the eighth installment might shape up.

Hey, Lady Gaga, We Just Wanted to Take Another Look at You at the Critics' Choice Awards
What was award season before Lady Gaga took center stage? I don't even remember at this point, because she continues to slay the red carpet and her acceptance speeches.

During the show, Gaga won the award for best song ("Shallow") after winning the Golden Globe a week ago. See photos of her oozing Old Hollywood glamour ahead, and then catch up on what everyone wore on the Critics' Choice red carpet ahead of the show.
A Reminder That Ryan Gosling Was at the Critics' Choice Awards Looking Like Our Dream Date
Ryan Gosling might be the king of laying low, but that doesn't mean we didn't spot him at the Critics' Choice Awards. The actor did not walk the red carpet along with most of the other nominated stars, but all it took was a camera pan or two for eagle-eyed fans to spot him and say, "Wow, can we give Ryan more screen time, please?" He was nominated for best actor for his work as Neil Armstrong in First Man, but Christian Bale took home the win for his role in Vice.
While Ryan didn't appear in many photos on Sunday night, he looked like a dream in the ones he did pose for. He also flashed an adorable smile and look of adoration as he watched his First Man costar, Claire Foy, give a moving speech for her See Her award. Never change, Ry Gos.

Hopefully you do by now, since the event featured not one, but two instances of a tie in best actress categories. The first was for best actress in a movie made for television or limited series, which saw Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette both winning. The second was for best actress in a film, which went to both Glenn Close for The Wife, and Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born. Close, as usual, delivered an incredible speech, but Gaga's is the one that had the audience weeping into their Champagne.
"I went to places in my mind and in my heart that I did not know existed, or that I could. Thank you so much to the BFCA; this is a tremendous honor. I feel recognized not just for my performance, but for the inner work it took in the creation of this character," she said through sobs, before acknowledging her A Star Is Born costar and director, Bradley Cooper. "Bradley, you are a magical filmmaker. You are just as magical of a human being. I've never had an experience with a director or an actor like I had with you. I will cherish it forever. You were seamlessly both the love of my life and the man behind the camera."
The 32-year-old, who won earlier in the night for best song, went on to note that playing Ally in the movie was "one of the hardest things" she's ever done. "I was able to be vulnerable in a way I never had before because of that love and that trust . . . The true star of the film is not me - it's bravery and perseverance. Thank you, I love you."

Lady Gaga and Glenn Close Tie For Best Actress, and BOTH Speeches Will Move You to Tears
The Critics' Choice Awards were full of interesting twists and turns on Sunday night. After Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette both took home best actress in a movie made for TV or limited series, there was yet another tie for best actress. Glenn Close took home the award for The Wife, while Lady Gaga was awarded for her performance in A Star Is Born. Both of the actresses gave incredibly moving speeches, with Close thanking her daughter, Annie Starke, who played a younger version of her character in the film, and Gaga thanking her costar Bradley Cooper. As if their speeches weren't enough to make us burst into tears, the two shared a sweet moment as they embraced and walked off the stage together.

Mark Your Calendars: Game of Thrones Season 8 Will Premiere in April 2019
We've been pulling our hair out for months trying to guess when the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones would finally drop. Although Maisie Williams (our resident Arya Stark) gave an interview earlier in 2018 to UK-based paper Metro and revealed the month in which the first episode would appear - April 2019 - she later retracted her quotes in a tweet. "Just a tweet letting you know this Game of Thrones release date 'quote' I've supposedly given is completely false and taken from an interview I did years ago."
HBO didn't respond to the rumor at the time, but luckily we now have official confirmation of the premiere date: April 14, 2019!
Over the past few months, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys confirmed a 2019 start, stating that the showrunners really want to take their time and get everything right. Luckily for all of us, the cast hasn't been shy when it comes to talking about the final season, either. We even got to hear about how the cast reacted to the finale script from Sophie Turner (aka Sansa Stark). For now, though? We wait. Mark your calendars for April, friends. It's going to be a long few months.
Meet Lucy Boynton - the British Bombshell From Bohemian Rhapsody and Rami Malek's GF
While we can't get enough of Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton together, we need to talk about how awesome and flawless Lucy is, period. The 24-year-old actress - who plays Mary Austin, Freddie Mercury's once-romantic partner and closest friend until he died, in the Queen-endorsed film Bohemian Rhapsody - is already blowing us away this award season with her flawless style and beauty, and we're on tenterhooks just waiting to see what she'll wear next.
Lucy's been steadily growing in her fame over the past decade, going from roles that were more exclusively British to her huge part in Bohemian Rhapsody and her upcoming part in a very highly anticipated Netflix series. There's more to Lucy, though, beyond just being really fashionably matchy-matchy with Rami and an incredible actress who's dedicated to her work (she even worked with Queen guitarist Brian May to get her portrayal of Mary right for Bohemian Rhapsody). For some fun facts about her, keep reading.
- She was born in the US. If you've watched any interviews with Lucy, you're probably wondering where that very obvious British accent is coming from. The accent is because even though she was born in New York, she was raised in England and still calls it home.
- Her parents are writers. Lucy's dad, Graham Boynton, and her mom, Adriaane Pielou, are travel writers. Lucy also has an older sister, Emma Louise Boynton, who is a freelance producer.
- Her breakout role was as Beatrix Potter. Lucy played a young Beatrix Potter in Miss Potter alongside Renée Zellweger and Ewan McGregor.
- Her favorite TV show is Bob's Burgers. Lucy said in an interview with Glamour that Bob's Burgers is actually her favorite TV show! She called the show "so great," and we can't help but agree.
- She was inspired by My Girl. Lucy told The Picture Journal that the Summer when she was 12 years old and decided acting was something she truly wanted to pursue, she watched My Girl about four times a day. "It was the funeral scene in that, and she starts crying and goes up to the coffin," she referenced as the scene she practiced to learn how to cry on command.
- Her ultimate girl crushes are the same as ours. Congratulations to Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, because Lucy told PeopleTV that the two of them are her ultimate girl crushes.
- Bohemian Rhapsody wasn't her first music-related film. Before the 2018 Queen flick, Lucy starred in Sing Street in 2016. In the film set in the 1980s, she plays the love interest of a guy who starts a band just so he can escape his home life . . . and totally impress her.
- She's currently working on a Ryan Murphy show. Lucy's most current project is The Politician, a Netflix comedy that's a little dark but a lot funny. We don't yet know what Lucy's character might be, but she told Collider that meeting Ryan the first time was terrifying. "I didn't know what to expect; it was kind of like meeting the Wizard of Oz."
Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette Tied For an Award at Critics' Choice, Which Is Possible?
The Critics' Choice Awards didn't end on Sunday without a shocker. The biggest surprise of the night was that there was a . . . tie. Apparently, that's a totally possible thing, and, honestly, it probably couldn't have happened to a better pair. Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette were the dual recipients of the award for best actress in a movie made for TV or limited series. Adams accepted the award for her role in Sharp Objects, while Arquette accepted the trophy for her part in Escape at Dannemora.
What could have easily been an awkward moment turned out to be a beautiful one instead. Adams was the first to be presented the award, but she refused to start her acceptance speech without Arquette on stage. "I actually can't think of a more beautiful thing than a tie because there really isn't a winner when we get to do such great work when you have such wonderful opportunities," Adams said, before Arquette swooped in for a hug. The two then went back and forth, taking turns every few seconds to thanks their respective cast and crew members.
Although it was surprising to see a tie, this wasn't the first time it's happened at the Critics' Choice Awards. In 2003, Daniel Day-Lewis and Jack Nicholson both won best actor for their parts in Gangs of New York and About Schmidt, respectively. Then, in 2009, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep tied as best actress for their roles in Rachel Getting Married and Doubt, respectively.
We certainly didn't see the most recent tie between Adams and Arquette coming, but they handled it like the gracious, badass women that they are. View more photos of them celebrating their big win ahead!
Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette Aren't the First Stars to Tie at an Award Show, FYI
While watching the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday night, audiences were likely prepared to see a number of things typical of award season: cheesy jokes from the host, triumphant acceptance speeches, and red carpet gowns so stunning, it was hard not to audibly gasp. But one very unique occurrence happened when it came time to award the trophy for best actress in a movie made for television or limited series - it was a tie!
Presenters and Schitt's Creek costars Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara opened the envelope to reveal the winners and took a moment to look appropriately shocked before O'Hara excitedly yelled out, "It's a tie!" No, this wasn't another awkward Moonlight/La La Land situation - Amy Adams won for her role in Sharp Objects, while Patricia Arquette also won for Escape at Dannemora.
What could have easily been an uncomfortable moment for everyone involved ended up being a heartwarming one, instead. Adams refused to start her acceptance speech without Arquette on stage. "I actually can't think of a more beautiful thing than a tie because there really isn't a winner when we get to do such great work when you have such wonderful opportunities," Adams said, before Arquette joined her on the stage. The two then thanked their respective friends, families, and costars. Funnily enough, this isn't the first time the Critics' Choice Awards have had this happen.
Back in 2009, the best actress category saw a double win for Meryl Streep in Doubt and Anne Hathaway in Rachel Getting Married. The same thing happened six years before that, in 2003, when the best actor category saw Daniel Day-Lewis win for his performance in Gangs of New York as well as Jack Nicholson for About Schmidt.
The awards are decided by the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA), who honor the finest in cinematic and television achievement. Written ballots are submitted by members during a week-long nominating period, then those nominees are typically announced in early December. The winners are narrowed down by another round of voting, with the actual award show airing in January. Luckily, there's no such thing as a tie-breaker at the Critics' Choice Awards, which has made for some exciting - and seriously unexpected - moments over the years.
Rejoice: The Exact Premiere Date For Game of Thrones Season 8 Has Been Revealed
We were just short of giving up on ever getting a premiere date for Game of Thrones season eight, when, after what's felt like an eternity, HBO revealed the exact date and time during its broadcast of True Detective on Jan. 13. Luckily, the eighth and final season is closer than ever: April 14 at 9 p.m.!
Finding out the premiere date has been a long and torturous process for many GOT fans, who first got a taste of when to expect it when Maisie Williams (aka Arya Stark) gave an interview in 2018 to UK-based paper Metro, where she reportedly said the first episode would drop in April 2019. She later retracted her quotes in a tweet, claiming that her quotes were "completely false and taken from an interview" she did years earlier. HBO didn't acknowledge the rumor until November 2018, when we got an official confirmation of the premiere month via the Game of Thrones Twitter account.
So, while it's been really, really long since we've had Arya, Sansa, Jon, Dany, and the rest of the crew back on our screens, there's only three months (or so) to go. Once you've marked your calendars for April 14, feel free to kill time by diving into all the wild, insane, and so-good-they-better-be-true theories about Game of Thrones season eight or by taking our character quiz.
4 Horror Movies Coming Back to Haunt Us With Reboots in 2019
There are some truly terrifying films set to hit the big screen next year, but surprisingly, some of the scariest-looking ones are based on stories that we already know. While it's true that some reboots are major flops, great remakes can pay the perfect tribute to cinematic classics, and no remakes work as well as horror flicks. This year saw resurrections of everything from 1977's Suspiria to 1978's Halloween, and 2019 promises a whole new batch of old movies rising from the dead.
Unfortunately, while the The Crow was initially slated for an October 2019 release, the project was put on hold as of May 2018 when star Jason Momoa and director Corin Hardy dropped out of the project. That said, here are all of the upcoming horror movie reboots you can definitely look forward to seeing in the next year.
