Online shopping may be (a little too) easy, but finding proper health and personal care products can present a challenge. There’s seemingly something for everything these days, and it’s difficult to decipher which products are worth the plunge, versus those you can go without. Particularly when it comes to the things in your medicine cabinet as a person with a uterus — useful, necessary and just-for-fun or comfort products — it can feel overwhelming to sort out the things you want and need from the things that aren’t worth the hype....

Chyler Leigh is embracing her truth. The actress — whose fame took off with her role as fan-favorite Lexi on Grey’s Anatomy — opened up about her sexual identity in a heartfelt letter titled “Wear Your Pride.” The post appeared on Creating Change, an inspirational and community-driven website that Leigh helped co-found. And Leigh also thanked fans on social media for “acknowledging and loving myself as the person I truly am....

With the Academy Awards just around the corner, it’s always astonishing to take a look at the list of some of our favorite and most revered actors who have never taken home that coveted golden statuette. The names on the list are very recognizable, and most film fans probably assumed these actors already had an Oscar in their trophy case. Which actors have not won Oscars? The answer might surprise you....

As new mothers — and especially as new first-time mothers — we are so often fed the “breast is best” line and made to feel like we should at least give breastfeeding a go. And it’s only gotten worse lately in light of the recent formula shortage; “just breastfeed” is the (very misguided) advice people are given to get around that problem. But it isn’t as simple as popping a nip in a baby’s mouth and turning on some sort of internal faucet, folks....

Starbucks recently announced that they were closing all but their drive-thru cafes in the United States, meaning some of us are hard up for a fancy coffee fix. A month ago, this may have sent us into a full panic, but these days we know that our pantries can hold a lot of magic inside. What if we told you that all you needed for a luxurious caffeine kick was a few tablespoons of instant coffee, sugar, hot water, and milk?...

Wow, Father’s Day is about here again, already? Yikes. Don’t get me wrong, I love celebrating dads. But I’m a single mom, and my kid’s dad has spoken to him on the phone twice in the past year, and he just refused my offer to speak to our son this coming Father’s Day… Oh, and my own dad died when I was a teenager. So, sure, maybe I’m something of a Father’s Day grinch?...

We all have that friend who was an early-adopter of the menstrual cup. She loves her cup of choice and delights in telling you all the cool benefits: They’re sustainable, they’re comfortable, they’re easy to clean and store so you’re never caught with a near-empty tampon box on day one of a new period and, of course, they’re fairly easy and intuitive to use. It’s that latter point that gives a lot of longtime tampon and pad-users pause....

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk is known for tackling tough subjects head-on, and this badass mom doesn’t just take a no-nonsense approach to her interview subjects. Daughter Willow Smith came on her mom’s show this week, which focused on addiction amid the COVID-19 pandemic, to talk about her choice to stop using marijuana (or, as her mom put it, “decided to curb her excessive weed smoking”). Jada and Willow’s ability to have a matter-of-fact conversation about marijuana — and Jada’s respectful but honest treatment of Willow when she did believe she was using too much marijuana — was a seriously impressive display of mutual respect, and we’re so proud of both sides of this mother-daughter duo....

With so much going on in the world, your brain is probably preoccupied with things like health, wrangling tiny humans, the state of the economy… it’s a lot. So, it’s possible that things in the bedroom may have, you know, cooled. Unless that is, you’re Hollywood’s hottest couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. In a candid new interview, the couple opens up about their “white-hot” sex life and why they think it just keeps getting better....

Self-care looks different as a mom — something Mandy Moore is all too familiar with.

The actress and singer shares August, who turns 1 on Feb. 23, with husband Taylor Goldsmith. In the interview, she talked about how her wellness routine has changed since becoming a mom....

Last May, George Floyd called out to his mother in his last fleeting breath while Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck, ultimately suffocating him to death. “Mama! Mama!” he called out. “My knee. My neck. I’m through.” When mothers all over the world heard this cry, our collective hearts broke. Floyd’s cry became a rallying cry for mamas — despite our ethnicity or race — to answer. “All mothers were summoned” became the uniting phrase, waking up many white moms for the first time about the violent reality of policing and racism in this country....

The popularity of using donor breast milk is back on the rise thanks to many studies touting the “liquid gold” for its nutritional benefits. Which is why some women start looking for donors before their babies are even born. And while the practice isn’t for everyone, a lot of new moms have found themselves turning to hospitals, local mom groups on Facebook, and even asking their friends for pumped milk....
