A strong butt isn’t just for filling out those jeans (or beloved TikTok leggings). There are many benefits to giving some attention to your tush. “Strengthening the glutes are a great way to support the low back, aid in pelvic alignment, and improve posture,” Dani Schenone, RYT, holistic wellness expert for Mindbody, tells SheKnows. “Also, stronger glutes make stairs a bit easier to climb, and heavy objects a bit easier to lift....

During my pregnancy with my second son, I worried constantly about my first. Could my heart really hold enough love for them both? Would dividing my time and attention be cheating my firstborn out of something? Would they hate each other? Should we have had a second baby at all? The first time we placed our newborn in his brother’s lap, my oldest — only three years old at the time — counted the teeny pink toes peeking out from beneath the blanket, looking him over with an expression that I couldn’t quite read....

The world is a bit crazy right now, and thanks to COVID-19, we’ve seen a lot of changes in the way we live our daily lives, from “safer at home” measures and business closures to grocery shortages of items like flour, eggs, and yeast. Even big companies like Costco aren’t immune to the changing times – they’ve changed their store hours, taken measures to prevent toilet paper hoarding, and have even changed the menu at their food court....

In middle school, I was embarrassingly easy to hack. The hint? Pirate. The password? JohnnyDepp. See, in 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean came out and everything changed for me, in that I learned who Johnny Depp was and suddenly my life had new purpose. Keira Knightley, who was a whopping 17 years old in the first film, served well enough as my avatar in the world of Pirates, and when they shared a long-hyped kiss in the second movie, my teenage heart nearly exploded for joy....

Chances are, when you first moved into your home, it fit like a glove. But as life has changed, your family has grown, and a whole lot of stuff has accumulated, that once perfectly proportioned space may now feel a wee bit snug — or downright stifling. If only you had a mudroom or an office to call your own. Without renovating your house (or moving to a new one entirely), those coveted spaces can seem like fantasies unlikely to come to fruition....

Jada Pinkett Smith admits she had an affair with singer August Alsina while she and Will Smith were still married — yet it was more than an affair, it was a relationship that developed while her marriage was on the rocks. And while reps for Pinkett-Smith previously denied any romantic involvement with Alsina, the rumors were true. The 48-year-old actress decided to come clean on an episode of Red Table Talk, except this time, she was in the hot seat and husband Smith was asking the questions....

There’s no denying that celebrity kids have it good. (Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s 10-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, for example, is incredibly rich.) But that doesn’t mean they are always spoiled. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard want to teach their daughters Lincoln, 9, and Delta, 7, a valuable lesson about gratitude for what they do have instead of focusing on what they don’t have: namely, cell phones. “We don’t have a phone problem ’cause they’re not in the mix....

Any parent who has updated a resume after taking time off to raise kids or care for a sick family member has wondered how to explain — and worried about — the gap in their work history. On digital employment websites like LinkedIn, there has literally been no way to easily include an explanation — until now. In response to criticism about the lack of flexibility in its platform for people, particularly women, who have left the paid labor force for periods of time, LinkedIn is adding job titles like “stay-at-home mom” and “caregiver” to its list of possible options....

Brace yourself for a double dose of cuteness this morning, because Nikki and Brie Bella just officially revealed their newborn sons to the world! Are you ready to meet Matteo and Buddy? Spoiler alert: The first official photos of the Bella twins brand-new boys are downright adorable. And, is it just us, or do they look like tiny carbon copies of each other? Three weeks ago, Nikki and Brie gave birth to their little boys just 22 hours apart — and while they announced the happy news, they’ve yet to give fans a full look at their new additions....

While passing around generic Christmas tree ornaments from the hardware store last weekend, a wave of Christmas cheer washed over me. I felt delighted that not one of the gold spheres contained any latent nostalgia for Christmases past. After all, my husband and kids and I are having our first Christmas, ever, alone — due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While I expected it would be devastating, instead, it seems remarkably like…self-care?...

If you’re sitting in a pumpkin carriage, you’re going to want to strap in for this wild ride. Once upon a time, approximately two weeks ago, one man’s father passed away. The man, his wife “Candace,” his daughter, “Shiloh,” and his two stepdaughters traveled for the funeral. In a viral post on Reddit, the father said his wife booked two hotel rooms: one for her and her husband, and one for the three teenage girls....

Is it just us or was it, like yesterday, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie jetted to Namibia to give birth to their first biological child together? In real-time, of course, it’s been a minute — Shiloh Jolie-Pitt turned 14 on May 27. And based on what we know about the teen, it sounds like she is growing up to become a super-cool and interesting person. Granted, much of what we know about Shiloh (or any of the Jolie-Pitt kids, for that matter) comes from secondhand sources or public interactions with their parents....

Are you getting fed up with your makeup bag? Makeup bags might be great for on-the-go makeup applications, like if you’re traveling or just want to do a quick touch-up at work. But when you have to rely on your makeup bag to get you through your morning routine, you might find yourself getting exacerbated. Maybe you spend two minutes digging through your dark bag desperately searching for your concealer. Makeup organizers can save you time in the morning, and you won’t waste anymore time rifling through your bag....

For most of my life, I didn’t know what it felt like to have a “one-track mind.” The term has negative connotations, usually pertaining to someone who only thinks about sex, but so often, I wished I could know what it would be like to only focus on one thing. Even — no, especially — on sex. I was 27 years old when I was first diagnosed with ADHD. It was something I’d been suspicious I had for a while....
