GLOW: A Moment of Appreciation For Geena Davis's Sandy Devereaux St. Clair
It would've been so easy for GLOW to turn Sandy Devereaux St. Clair into a villain. With her sequined skirt suits and her glory days as a showgirl still clinging to her puffed-up leopard-print shoulder pads, Sandy - played with aplomb by Hollywood legend Geena Davis - seemed primed to become the season's biggest antagonist. But one of GLOW's biggest strengths has always been its knowledge that sometimes we are our own worst enemies, and it has therefore never needed to dream up cartoonish or predictable villains for its stars to wrestle with, either literally or metaphorically.
Sandy saunters onto the screen in season three's first episode, when the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are relocated to Las Vegas. As a former showgirl who cut her teeth in Sin City and now works as the entertainment director of the Fan-Tan Hotel and Casino, she's got grit, but she isn't so jaded that she's given up on what she sees as the sparkly necessity of show business in times of crisis. This is apparent when she gives the order that GLOW continue on with its first show despite the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster happening earlier that same morning, offering up a simple "That's Vegas" as explanation.
Although she initially comes off a bit callous - "I'm a big fan of anything that sells out and gets people in the casino" - and clashes with Debbie (Betty Gilpin) on numerous occasions, season three doesn't take the easy way out by making Sandy a standard money-obsessed, unfeeling antagonist for the empathetic cast of characters we've come to know and love over the last two seasons. She extends an olive branch to Debbie, "woman to woman," telling her she can come to her for advice day or night.
Hell, she even sheds all those loud '80s prints she loves so much to help out with the LGBTQ+ charity show at the end of the season by strutting through the crowd in her itty-bitty, glittery showgirl costume and belting out a song. (Side note: she's still got it, WERK.) It's unexpected but perfect (obviously). She's willing to go the extra mile for the right reasons, just like Ruth, Debbie, and everyone else on the show. (OK, maybe not Sam . . . at least not all the time.)
The Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning Hollywood icon - who's been in everything from Thelma & Louise to the recent TV reboot of The Exorcist - guest stars in a total of five of the 10 episodes of the female wrestling comedy, and she makes the most out of every second on screen. Given the way season three ends, with Sandy's option for GLOW to stay in Las Vegas (basically) for good on the table, we have hope she'll be back in the yet-to-be-officially-confirmed season four.

How to Ensure You're Eating Enough Protein on a Low-Carb Diet - Because It Matters, Too
Carbs aren't the only thing you should track on a low-carb diet. A healthy amount of protein will keep you satisfied between meals and help build muscle, both of which are essential for weight loss. But exactly how much protein should you eat?
"I like to look at macronutrients as a see-saw, with protein as the fulcrum. Protein requirements usually stay the same as they normally would when following a low-carb diet, while fat and carbs are on the opposite ends of the see-saw - as carbs go down, fat goes up," Erin Macdonald, a registered dietitian and co-founder of U Rock Girl in Orange County, CA, told POPSUGAR.
There's no universal definition of a low-carb diet, but you'll typically limit carbohydrates to roughly 25 percent of your calories, though it can range from 15 to 35 percent, depending on the person, explained Annie Reed, a registered dietitian in Greenville, SC. (This usually translates to eating fewer than 150 grams of carbs per day.) "The remainder of calories are made up of fat and protein - 40 percent and 35 percent, respectively," she told POPSUGAR.
Once you've determined how many calories you'll need to eat to lose weight, you can simply use these percentages to calculate the breakdown for each nutrient, where one gram of carbs or protein is equal to four calories and one gram of fat is equal to nine calories.
However, the amount of protein you need can also vary greatly depending on your level of activity, as eating protein after a hard workout is beneficial in promoting recovery. "People who are more physically active or healing from something, as well as people in the second half of life, need more protein than the general recommendation," Annie B. Kay, a registered dietitian and certified yoga therapist in Pittsfield, MA, told POPSUGAR. Even factors like your sex and weight can shift the breakdown, so it's best to work with a dietitian, who can help you make adjustments as needed.

The Hands-Down Best Foundations Money Can Buy - Period
Foundation, for all intents and purposes, is a lot like Spanx for the face: a good one conceals the things you don't want people to see; an even better one makes it feel like you're not wearing anything at all. Also just like shapewear, finding the perfect foundation for you boils down to preference, and at the end of the day, the level of coverage that makes you the most comfortable.
Whether you want something lightweight and imperceptible to the eye or opaque enough to cover the gnarliest of breakouts, there is a formula out there to get the job done. From liquids to sticks to drops and more, we've narrowed down the best foundations on the market you'll want to slip into - no matter your need or budget.

Bachelor in Paradise's Dean Unglert Has a Mustache, So Let’s Appreciate It For a Sec, Shall We?
When some women go through an emotional time, they get a haircut. When some men experience it? They grow a mustache. OK, so maybe that's not why Dean Unglert from Bachelor in Paradise decided to sport one, but we support his facial hair look.
You might remember Dean from season four of BIP where he was in a messy love triangle. Maybe things will be less dramatic his second time around, right? Well, that might be difficult, since one of the women in that love triangle, Kristina Schulman, is also back in Paradise. There's no way we'll be away from our TVs on Monday and Tuesday nights this Summer.

These Nail Polishes Make It Easy to Try the Jelly Nail Art Trend at Home
Jelly nail polish needs to check off certain boxes. The lacquers and gels used to create the colorful, translucent trend you've seen across Instagram should go on sheer (without having too thin of a formula), and set with a high-shine finish and durability that compares to its opaque counterparts.
It makes sense that many of the looks on social media have been created by pro manicurists, but we've found the nail polish colors that fulfill all your jelly expectations at home. Check out some of our favorites, ahead.

John Legend Shows Support For Dayton With Miles's Adorable PJs From the Oregon District
John Legend picked up some adorable PJs for Miles with a sweet meaning behind them: support for Dayton, OH. The Grammy-winning singer and Ohio native recently took a trip to one of the latest cities affected by a mass shooting, where he gave a surprise performance for the victims' families and first responders and made a plea for common sense gun legislation.
He visited small businesses in the city's Oregon District, where nine people lost their lives and 26 total were shot within 32 seconds on Aug. 4. John spoke to locals in Dayton alongside the city's mayor, Nan Whaley, and said, "We think there's nothing we can do but giving up is really not an option. We have to be able to live without the fear of being shot."
John's lookalike Miles was all smiles in his cozy pajamas from Beck + Call, an Oregon District store for women's and children's clothing, accessories, home goods, and more. The father of two captioned the photo, "Miles rocking the new PJs I got him in the Oregon District in Dayton. #DaytonStrong ❤️."

Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj Turn Up the Heat With "Hot Girl Summer" - Listen Now!
Since it seems like everyone and their mother has been talking about having a "Hot Girl Summer," it's only right that Megan Thee Stallion herself lets us know what it really means - and she brought in Nicki Minaj to help her do it.
After a week-long delay, the two rappers joined forces with Ty Dolla $ign for Megan's highly anticipated single titled after her popular phrase. Suffice it to say, it's more than we could have ever imagined. Folks may say that Summer starts on June 21, but judging by this fire track, we're pretty sure these women have moved it to Aug. 9.
Oh, and did we mention that the album art has cartoon versions of Megan and Minaj riding a bottle of Hennessy like it's a mechanical bull? Yeah, this kind of release definitely calls for celebrating with twerking and a flute-wielding Lizzo. Listen to "Hot Girl Summer," above!

Selena Gomez Reportedly Trademarked Her Name to Create Her Own Beauty Brand, and I'm SO Ready
Selena Gomez might just be on her way to becoming our new favorite beauty mogul. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revealed that the actress and musician filed a trademark for "Selena Gomez," via her production company July Moon Productions, on July 11 for several beauty products, according to Womens Wear Daily. The products include "fragrances, cosmetics, skin-care preparations, hair-care preparations, soaps, moisturizers and essential oils," all the makings of a beauty brand. Gomez herself has yet to comment on whether the beauty line is official, but our fingers are definitely crossed.
In 2011, Gomez launched her own perfume crowdsourced by fans to determine the scent profile. Beyond the beauty world, Gomez has also collaborated with Coach on a line of handbags and accessories, as well as a ready-to-wear collection. She also came out with her own juniors collection called Dream Out Loud at Kmart back in 2010, and released a line of clothing, shoes, and accessories with Puma in 2018.
Back in May, Gomez also added a few pieces to her friend Theresa Mingus's swimwear line, Krahs Swim. She contributed a plunging top, high-waisted bottoms with a belt, and a zip-up one-piece, all designed with her personal swimwear preferences in mind. "I had a kidney transplant, and I like bathing suits that cover where that's been and make me feel comfortable," Gomez said of the fiery-red pieces. Given that she has so much experience, we can only hope we have more of Gomez's fashion and beauty projects to look forward to soon.
Full-Body Strength Exercises Burn Major Fat, So Here Are 12 That Trainers Can't Get Enough Of
Full-body strength-training exercises are key for fat loss - which is why we've gathered these 12 trainer-recommended moves to choose from - but why are these exercises so critical? "A lot of people think that the best way to shed fat is by doing lots of steady cardio. You can lose fat that way, but it's not the optimal type of training for fat loss," said Julia Buckley, a REPs Level 3-certified trainer in the UK. "Intense fast-paced cardio, power moves, and weightlifting sessions are much better. By adding muscle to your body, you will burn more fat all of the time."
That's because muscle mass actually boosts your metabolism, which helps you burn calories even when you're not working out. Targeting multiple muscle groups in one move, as you do with full-body exercises, burns more calories (and thus more fat) and does it efficiently, maximizing your time at the gym, said Eric Bowling, an NASM-certified trainer at Ultimate Performance Los Angeles.
However, you won't burn fat just by doing these exercises alone. For the best results, you need a consistent and effective workout routine that includes both cardio and strength training. Coupling those workouts with a healthy diet is also key. To lose body fat, you should avoid highly processed foods and products with lots of sugar and refined carbs while loading up on veggies, protein, and fiber. Once you have that foundation of healthy diet and consistent exercise in place, plug these 12 moves into your routine to optimize fat-burning potential. Grab some weights, and let's get started. (Not sure how heavy to go? Here's a guide on choosing the right weight.)

6 Guided Meditation Videos From YouTube For Relaxation, Reflection, and Pause
When it comes to meditation, if you're anything like me, you might be skeptical about it and need a little push. It's hard to focus on your own (have you tried to sit in silence while your thoughts play patty-cake with your mind?!), but you can get the push you need in the form of guided meditation. Guided meditation walks you through the process and makes it easier to stay in the zone. You can use apps - USWNT star Rose Lavelle likes Headspace - or, you can check out videos online that will bring you to that special period of pause.
Meditation in general is said to reduce anxiety, stress, and pain as well as improve memory and reduce blood pressure. It can also aid in getting you to sleep better. Yoga Girl community creator Rachel Brathen, a yoga teacher and bestselling author, told POPSUGAR in a previous interview that if you're trying to get into a meditation routine, "pick a time of the day that works for you and stick with it. As long as you do it consistently at the same time, it will be a lot easier."
Whether your goal is to meditate regularly or you simply want something to turn to when you feel overwhelmed, check out guided meditation videos from YouTube ahead. They're all 15 minutes or less, and some are focused on relieving anxiety specifically, while others are quick ways to calm your thoughts or find inner peace. Plus, if you're looking for more guided goodness, check out these yoga videos devoted to helping you de-stress.
