"When my mom turned 70, I jokingly said, 'Hey mom, let's get your first tattoo for your birthday.' She agreed. My mom, sister, niece, and I all got different hummingbirds, my mom's favorite bird." —k4e39fd4aa
Coachella might never happen again, but you can still buy this dress.
Me: I know there are many options on the market, but is there one that is deemed the "safest" overall?
Minkin: If somebody wants absolutely no side effects whatsoever, a condom, contraceptive foam, or a diaphragm are very safe. They have no hormones and no gadgets – but, the problem is they have a higher failure rate. If you use them, knowing you will get a first trimester abortion if they fail, there have been statistical papers that say this is the safest method of contraception. The problem with this is it puts you through the emotional issues of having an unplanned pregnancy, which is a significant emotional issue for many people. In addition, most people don't want the inconvenience of using a barrier method and having to use it every time.
I would say birth control or IUDs with low levels of hormones can offer lighter periods and less cramps. There are all sorts of pluses and minuses as far as what is the best for you. You should talk to your doctor about what contraceptive is best for your needs. There is not one method that I can say is the best or the safest, BUT, what I can say, is that all methods are really quite safe.
The scene above was proven NOT to be a Mandela effect though! The first edition of the DVD shows the scene with a dryer, but the later editions were edited to address safety concerns. Basically, Disney didn't want to set the example of children crawling in dryers – so their solution was to change the dryer into a pizza box.
"The hottest I've ever been was when I was 18. I look nothing like that now."
"If I had a say so in what could happen, I would like to donate things like hygiene products to women’s and men’s shelters. I know that we can’t because of the risk of infection and cross contamination, but if we could find a way to sterilize some products somehow, it would be worth a try," Bianca added.
Who really has the time to handwash their delicates? Scrubbing your bras in the bathroom sink can take a backseat to life’s other obligations. Good news: Machine-washing your bras is totally allowed. “The day that I‘ll handwash my bras, I will have nothing else to do in my life,” Lawson says.
To prevent your bras (both everyday and sports bras) from getting tangled and mangled with other clothes, make sure the hooks are clasped and place your bras in a lingerie bag before tossing them in the washer. Set the water temperature to “warm” (not hot, not cold) and use a gentle laundry detergent that doesn’t contain chlorine or bleach. Let the washer run on the gentle or delicate cycle.
And for those dead-set on hand-washing, where are you getting all this free time? Anyway, fill up your sink with cool water and a small amount of detergent and fully submerge your bras. Let them soak for a few minutes before rinsing with fresh, cool water.
For everyday bras, give them a wash after every two to three wearings to remove all the skin cells, sweat, and other oils your body produces. Yes, it’s a hefty ask, but your bras will thank you later. Sports bras can get away with a wash after every use, but keep in mind the stress that washing puts on the spandex. To avoid a full wash, you can rinse the bra with warm water and let it line-dry in between workouts.
If you were to dye it one color, which would it be?
A: I think some people have a moment where they KNOW they found 'the one' and some don't. I don't think this means one marriage is going to last over the other. I actually never had that moment because I am someone who always has hesitations — no matter what — because I overthink things. Even if someone was scientifically matched to be my perfect person, I would still question it.
My husband always says that looks and attraction will never get you through an entire marriage. And it's true. I think a lot of people hold certain things — like looks — to a higher standard than they should when they look for a partner to marry. That stuff is not going to matter when real-life issues arise. Can your personalities coexist on a daily basis, are you able to rely on this person, and can you truly trust them? These are the types of things that are more important at the end of the day. Also, are you willing to put their needs before your own and make sacrifices in your life for them?
Lastly, another important thing to ask yourself is: Does this person inspire me? Because you eventually start taking on some of the same habits as your partner — even if you don't realize it. So, you really want to be with someone who is going to push you to be better and inspire you to live your fullest life.
By the way, I'm not getting paid to promote any of these products. I bought them all with my own money except for the Goli gummies, which were sent to me to try free of charge — all opinions are 100% my own. I didn't change the way I would normally eat, though, because losing weight wasn't my goal. I did try my best to eat nutritious meals, but I ended up making boxed brownies three different times. No regrets.
The abs TikTok actually recommended doing the circuit twice, but I ended up doing it three times. You can definitely customize these for what works for you!
I know her description says "fat loss," but that wasn't my personal goal. I wanted a circuit that involved a lot of cardio exercises, and this fit the bill.

One upside: Running let me explore new streets in my neighborhood that I'd never been down before. Also, don't forget to wear a mask/banana/some kind of face cover!

But who knows? It could also be because I included the Seed probiotic in my vitamin routine. Or was it the apple cider vinegar vitamins? A combination of everything, maybe?
