While Meghan Markle and Prince Harry deactivated their social media accounts when they stepped back from the royal family, remnants of their online presence remain. And on Tuesday, a particularly salient moment from Meghan began circulating in the form of a recently resurfaced video. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent response to systemic racism in our country, a clip of Meghan candidly discussing her (and her family’s) experience with racism is gaining traction....

Ah, November, also known as the darkest time of year, thanks to daylight saving time and the intensity of Scorpio season. But good news – it’s not all doom and gloom for the next 30 days. Eclipse season wraps up on November 8th with the full moon and lunar eclipse in Taurus, and while, yes, eclipses are typically emotional and overwhelming AF, astrologer Desiree Roby Antila, author of Sun Signs in Love, says this one is going to help us make necessary changes in our lives sooner rather than later....

It goes without saying that we could all use any and every distraction we can get right now. With prolonged periods of self-isolation we’ve all got a lot of time on our hands — so what better way to make it go by a little faster than with the sounds of some of our favorite artists? Music is a proven mood-booster. Blake Shelton, John Legend, Keith Urban, and other musicians have released virtual concerts amid the coronavirus pandemic so fans at least have a soundtrack for this unprecedented time of global quarantine....

As anyone who has lost a parent knows, nobody can replace them, nor should anybody try to do so. Keeping a deceased person’s memory alive is a totally normal part of the grieving process, especially for people who lost a loved one at a young age. Unfortunately, it seems like one Reddit user’s spiteful sister-in-law didn’t get the memo. User @JuneSunflowerz took the famed /AmITheAsshole Subreddit for some unbiased insight into a complicated family dynamic involving her brother, his two children, and their stepmother....

Beyoncé is a busy mama — and global superstar! — so if she posts a picture of her family’s Halloween costumes three days late, that’s totally OK. (We’ve all missed those monthly picture milestones and first-day-of-school pics — just embrace it like Queen Bey.) With that being said, the “CUFF IT” singer’s family photo is absolutely amazing! Beyoncé, her husband Jay-Z, and their kids Blue Ivy, 10, and twins Rumi and Sir, 5, channeled a famous animated family for their costumes and totally nailed it!...

Living in a human body (especially as a woman/femme person) can be a fraught experience. For teen girls, navigating interpersonal relationships, puberty and the ever-present pressures to try and have bodies that look a certain way can understandably have lasting effects on their self-image, the ways they treat others. A new study published by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that there is a link between teens being bullied about their weight and bodies and the likelihood that they’ll use and abuse alcohol and marijuana....

It’s hard to know what news is true and what isn’t when we’re in the midst of a pandemic, but rumors have been flying for a while that the nation might be facing a meat shortage, due to the closure of meat processing plants where workers have been getting sick and are thus unable to work. Now, two major chains have confirmed that they’re going to be placing limits on how much meat customers can buy when they go shopping, turning this rumor into a reality....

Actor, entrepreneur, mom and Pisces Drew Barrymore has been known to take a few palate-cleanser breaks from social media here and there. And honestly, more power to her. But! We admit we never take a break from stanning Barrymore — and her fam, and her gorgeous Flower By Drew line — on social media, because we’re just sneaky like that. Barrymore doesn’t share much about her kids (ie, their faces) on Instagram, but when you get a glimpse of daughters Olive and Frankie just outside the frame or hear their cute lil voices, it’s easy to tell they’re the center of Mama Drew’s world....

From the devastating 2003 death of her father, Robert, to tackling first-time motherhood amid relationship hurdles, Khloe Kardashian has faced some of the most challenging times of her life, often with the world watching. But behind-the-scenes, the 36-year-old entrepreneur and television personality has tackled such hurdles shadowed by an extra obstacle — battling debilitating migraines 3-4 times monthly. Causing excruciating pounding, visual disturbance, nausea and dizziness, the genetic neurological disease has taken a toll on everything from business to motherhood – like when she had to ditch trick-or-treating with daughter True, then miss sister Kendall Jenner’s birthday last Halloween....

Gabrielle Union has a strong message for Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The actress took to Twitter to slam Abbott’s recent directive, which called on the Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate any minors undergoing “elective procedures for gender transitioning.” Union, whose stepdaughter Zaya Wade came out publicly as transgender in 2020, has been a fierce advocate for the trans community — and posted some searing words about this awful development....

Being single and living alone undeniably has its perks, but being single and living alone as a chronically ill person during the coronavirus pandemic has forced me to quarantine solo, which means I’ve been sexually inactive for almost four months. Being in this position has forced me to dwell on DIY positions while thinking wistfully about previous encounters. While thinking about other sex positions, there’s one in particular that gets a bad rap and I’d like to wipe its slate clean once and for all: being on the bottom!...

I watched my son’s 8th grade football team rush the sideline in jubilation, having just secured their division championship for the second year in a row. He’s been playing sports with most of these same kids since we moved to our small town when he was in first grade. Through the years I’ve gotten to know them all, through birthday parties and sleepovers and school functions and sports. In their faces, I still see glimpses of the baby-cheeked 7-year-olds they were when we first came here....

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris embodies many firsts. She’s San Francisco’s first Black district attorney. She’s California’s first woman attorney general. She will be the first woman to hold the office of the vice president. She’ll also be the first Black woman, the first Indian woman, and the first biracial woman to hold that honorary title. She’s the first daughter of immigrants to ascend to the White House, and the first graduate of Howard University — a prominent HBCU — be elected to the second-highest office in the land....

The 1990s were a simpler time. We took pictures and had to wait for them to be developed. We called our friends on their home lines to chat about our favorite boy bands. We watched Saturday morning cartoons and went roller skating and wore as many butterfly clips as could possibly fit in our hair. And when it was time to celebrate our birthdays, our parents bought or made the biggest cake they could, invited all our friends, and relished in the simple chaos that comes from a bunch of kids getting together at once....

“It takes a village to raise a child” has unfortunately become an adage of the past in a society that has become and continues to evolve toward that of isolation and the individual before the whole, and two world leaders are lamenting the effects of this evolution on child-rearing, motherhood, and community. In her latest episode of Archetypes, Meghan Markle sat down with Sophie Trudeau — activist, mom of three, and wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — to discuss this societal evolution and dissect the feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression moms often face in today’s world....

Parenting with an ex-partner is not typically an easy feat, especially when said ex-partner walked out on the relationship after bringing a child into the world. The resentment held by the walked-out-on party is undoubtedly justifiable, but in some extreme cases — say, a terminal illness diagnosis — many would argue that the resentment should be put aside for the sake of the child making the most of their time left with their dying parent, deadbeat or not....

If parents have learned anything in the past couple of years, it’s that teaching children is way harder than we thought — and man, do our kids’ teachers deserve recognition this Teacher’s Appreciation Week. Teachers have been managing a lot more than they normally would, and making it all look easy. So how do we show them our undying appreciation with the right gifts? What do we get them and how much do we spend?...
