Deciding to go vegan is a personal choice, and it’s one that over 19 million Americans have made. For some, going vegan is all about adopting a healthier lifestyle, while others want to quit contributing to animal cruelty, and a growing population believe that going plant-based is better for the environment. Some people have even opted into campaigns like “veganuary” to try on the lifestyle for a month. But veganism is nothing new....

When I first saw those two pink lines appear on a pregnancy test, I couldn’t have been more excited after a few months of trying with no success. I immediately ran to our spare room (and future nursery) to show my husband the test. “Wow!” he said, grabbing me and squeezing me hard. “I’m excited and nervous!” I was elated. I couldn’t believe it was finally happening. I immediately called my doctor’s office (well, after they opened) and calculated my due date....

After realizing that my post-divorce love life has been more fantasy than reality, I recently signed up for a love-coaching seminar to help get me back into the dating game. One of the first things the coach talked about was figuring out what we want in a partner, and I wasn’t surprised to see “close with family” near the top of the “desirable qualities” list — at which point I couldn’t help but groan....

Excessive alcohol consumption is killing adult women at a much higher rate since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In a report released last Friday (November 4), the CDC detailed how alcohol-related deaths among middle-aged U.S. adults have been steadily increasing for nearly 20 years. But between 2019 and 2020 — when COVID-19 descended upon the country and upended the lives of nearly every American — the alcohol-related mortality rate shot up more than 26 percent....

Credit August Alsina for being quick to market with a breakup song: On July 18, the 27-year-old singer dropped his new single — titled ‘Entanglements’ — following actress Jada Pinkett Smith’s confirmation of their affair. And in an interesting-but-unsurprising turn of events, the artist borrowed Pinkett Smith’s own terminology to describe their relationship — not just for the track’s title but in the lyrics, too. Take a listen, below: 💥”Entanglements” w @richforever out now💥 link in the bio‼️...

She burst onto the movie scene back in 1994 with The Mask. We fell in love with her in There’s Something About Mary. She’s made us laugh (The Sweetest Thing), cry (My Sister’s Keeper), and everything in between. Then she walked away from movies altogether. Now, Cameron Diaz is opening up about why she really retired from acting — and, TBH, the reason makes us like her even more. On Wednesday, Diaz appeared on her good friend Gwyneth Paltrow’s “In goop Health: The Sessions” series to discuss her new wine business, Avaline, among other things....

Intimacy can be a deeply complicated and personal thing to navigate for most people — and, for many, it can come with its own unique challenges. Particularly for those looking to overcome sexual dysfunction, social anxiety, sexual trauma, inexperience, later-in-life virginity or are otherwise exploring an identity shift, they may need professional help to find the connection to sex and intimacy that is right for them. Researchers William H. Masters and Virginia E....

Latham Thomas is a true badass Jill-of-all-trades. We chose her for this week’s Momsessed in particular because it’s World Doula Week and Thomas is a doula to the stars, with clients from Alicia Keys and Anne Hathaway to Gabrielle Union and Tamera Mowry. But that’s not all: The mother, author, mindfulness practitioner, and maternal wellness expert was named one of Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100 — and that’s really only scratching the surface of her accolades....

For many of us, the coronavirus crisis and social-distancing measures have put our lives on hold. That hasn’t been the case for new parents welcoming babies into this strange new world. And it also, surprisingly, hasn’t been the case for new adoptive parents. It appears that since the need for finding safe, good homes for children never really diminishes, government agencies are actually trying to make the process go through smoothly....

Yesterday, the news we all feared became reality: COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus, is officially a global pandemic. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director of the World Health Organization made the announcement at a conference and understandably, people started to panic. The virus has spread at an alarming rate and we have seen the devastating impacts it is causing in countries like Italy and China. 🚨 BREAKING 🚨 “We have therefore made the assessment that #COVID19 can be characterized as a pandemic”-@DrTedros #coronavirus pic....

It’s no big secret that Gwyneth Paltrow’s romantic history includes some real dimes (ahem, Brad Pitt). But the GOOP founder just revealed that her taste in men hasn’t always been quite so impeccable. In fact, one of her ex-boyfriends apparently had a secret penchant for drugs. That is until he made it not-so-secret — a revelation which played out in Rob Lowe’s hot tub, of all places. Paltrow and Lowe, who’ve been friends since she was a teen, recounted her dating history during the most recent episode of his podcast, Literally!...
