Insecurities: We’ve all got ‘em. Perhaps when looking in the mirror, we wish our teeth were whiter, our skin smoother, our hair shinier. However, when we step away from the glass, these thoughts typically fade into the background and we continue our day — give or take the amplified nonsense from the diet culture industry pounding steadily in most media we consume. But what if these minor insecurities didn’t fade, but were rather amplified, compromising our ability to function?...

Over the course of this pandemic, there are two words we parents have probably heard more than any others: “I’m bored.” And then comes the dread. You’ve got 1,000 things to do and no time to engage in play. Why did I buy all these toys, you wonder, if they’re not going to play with them? My advice: Stop and breathe, and let them get bored. Once kids are fully immersed in independent play, they look totally engaged — and it’s a beautiful thing....

It’s been no secret that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s time as senior royals was tough, but some points that were so low for her that they resulted in suicidal thoughts, she revealed tonight. That dark story heard on Sunday’s Oprah Winfrey interview harkens back to a similar tale with Princess Diana. It’s scary to think that the two women had similar paths decades apart and the palace learned nothing from it the first time around....

After four of the most difficult and terrifying years many of us have faced, there is finally new hope on the horizon and after everything 2020 has thrown at us, it’s exactly the kind of uplifting news we needed....

Valentine’s Day comes with a set of expectations, and couples often feel pressured to “perform” the day properly — whether they actually want to or not. This year is no different, though traditional Valentine’s plans, like going out to dinner, are quite literally off the table. Plus, we’re stressed as is! Is it really worth adding even more to our plate, especially when so many couples feel suffocated by their partners already?...

From House of Gucci to The Eyes of Tammy Faye, we’ve seen some pretty shocking adaptations of real-life experiences had by the rich and famous. Honestly, it seems like there’s a whole celebrity-scandal-to-mini-series pipeline happening right now. But there’s one particular story that’s piqued our interest not only because of the transformative performances given by its main cast, but also because of the celebrity story at its heart, one that forever changed how we think about public discourse on celebs’ private lives....

When Viola Davis posted an image of herself as The Woman King, I gasped. The film, which focuses the Agojie, the all-female warrior unit designated to protect the West African kingdom of Dahomey during the 17th to 19th centuries, starts its theatrical run September 16, 2022, and fans are champing at the bit to see Davis absolutely slay the role....

Kate Middleton has babies on the brain! The Princess of Wales visited the maternity unit in the Royal Surrey County Hospital yesterday and met with mothers and their babies — even cradling a newborn baby at one point — and igniting serious baby fever (at least for me). It turns out, the moment with infants reminded her of her own “babies,” aka, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, whom she shares with husband Prince William....

Everyone knows you should give up your seat on public transportation to pregnant people, right? And yet we are never surprised to learn that there are people who just don’t. And those people more often than not have never, nor will they ever, be pregnant themselves. One of those people — OK, we’re not fooling anyone, one of those men with zero empathy dared to ask Reddit if it was wrong of him to refuse to give up his seat on a bus to a pregnant woman when his poor widdle feet were hurting him....

Home Canadian Inuit have a territory of their own, but self-government is not without its challenges On April 1, 1999, Nunavut separated from the Northwest Territories to become the newest Canadian territory. The creation of Nunavut was the outcome of the largest aboriginal land claims agreement between the Canadian government and the native Inuit people. Inuit means “the people who are alive at this time” in Inuktitut. Eskimo, a Cree Indian word meaning “eaters of raw meat,” is considered derogatory and is no longer used in Nunavut....

Prince Harry’s reputation as a reckless “party prince” has almost always preceded him, as tabloids have been splattered with stories alluding to the Duke’s drug use and hard-partying ways since he was just a teen. His latest admission on how he was feeling at the time on mental health docuseries The Me You Can’t See with Oprah Winfrey, however, serves as a sobering reminder: There is often a complex reason behind substance abuse, and vilifying this behavior can do more harm than good....

It might be a very merry — and very busy — Christmas for Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis this year. According to Ok! magazine, an expert reveals that they’re basically just like us during the holidays (minus the whole prince and princess thing). And like so many others, the Royal Family may be dividing their time between loved ones by splitting up their Christmas celebrations into three separate occasions come December....

At first, the COVID-19 vaccine felt like a light at the end of a tunnel. And it still is, though we weren’t necessarily expecting the actual vaccine rollout to be quite so convoluted. Between crashing booking sites, conflicting eligibility requirements depending on your state, and the fact that there are seemingly no available appointments in certain areas, many people who need vaccines for themselves or for their loved ones simply can’t get them, and are left with no clue or guidance regarding what to do....

Bringing a new baby home can feel overwhelming, even for seasoned parents. But one mom on Reddit is feeling the pressure, as she tries to balance both her baby’s needs and her husband’s needs — without seeming to take care of herself at all. In the Parenting subreddit, one mom posted about her struggles balancing being a first-time parent to her 2-month-old daughter and being a wife. “I am my husband’s wife before I am my daughter’s mother,” she wrote, “but I’m having a hard time finding a good balance....

Holidays — especially holiday meals – have quite the reputation when it comes to nutrition thanks to the centerpiece of the meal, the famed side dishes (which typically always include generous helpings of carbs) and the spread of seasonal pies as a finale. Moderation during the holidays can be difficult regardless of your circumstance, but particularly difficult for those living with diabetes who need to maintain a delicate balance when it comes food intake, medication and monitoring of their glucose levels....
