Some bad news: there’s no quick fix or miracle salve when it comes to treating acne. And with a seemingly endless list of potential causes—genetics, hormones, environmental factors, dietary choices, and stress, to name just a few — and the potential for it to pop up pretty much anywhere on your body, the odds of developing acne at some point in your life are incredibly high....

On Wednesday night, Chrissy Teigen shared the devastating news that she has lost her baby. So many of us are mourning too, as if we know her, after following the story of her surprise pregnancy and its complications for months. Pregnancy loss is a tragedy no one should have to experience, but in sharing so much of it so immediately, Teigen has no doubt helped countless other families who have suffered or will suffer miscarriage or stillbirth....

“DID YOU SEE THE EMAIL?” my daughter texted me this week. I had no idea what she was talking about, but I wondered if it was about spring break; I had heard rumors that some colleges were thinking of not allowing students to leave campus due to fears about COVID-19. I hated the idea — I hadn’t seen my daughter in two months and was looking forward to spending some time with her — but I also understood the motivation....

For the nearly 38 million Americans experiencing migraines, the pain, sensitivity and nausea they’re experiencing is something that can very easily leave them unsure of what to do when they feel an attack coming on. There’s plenty written about ways to practice self-care to manage chronic migraines and best practices for avoiding migraine-triggering situations but, ultimately, when you’re in the midst of a terrible migraine, you need simple and easy-to-understand actions you can take to relieve your pain and safely ride it out....

Dear Daughter, We’re nearing Valentine’s Day, and despite all the heart and flowers you see everywhere, and the nonstop commercials, I am writing this to let you know that you do not need to be on-board with this holiday if you’re not feeling it. Sure, those cute little Valentine’s Day cards that you exchange with your classmates are fun, and who doesn’t love chocolate? But I hope you realize your self-worth doesn’t depend on whether or not you get noticed on this day....

It’s not every day you have a birthday, even if you are the Queen of England. But today is in fact Queen Elizabeth II’s 94th birthday, and though this year her birthday is being observed with restraint and silence today, in honor of Britain and the rest of the world’s current struggles, she will still be enjoying a classic sweet treat: chocolate cupcakes from the Royal Pastry Chefs. Comfort food: even the royals are doing it!...

Nothing takes the wind out of your sails quite like biting into a hunk of steak only to find out the sucker is chewy. Really, what’s worse than tough meat? Now that we’re at the peak of grilling season, there’s simply no excuse to still be eating tough meat — especially when there are so many ways to turn it into a restaurant-quality piece of protein. It has happened to the best of us — and it’s usually because we didn’t splurge on that pricey cut (or sometimes it’s because you went with a leaner organic cut, which can actually be more expensive)....

And we’re back! After four months on hiatus while we all smartly stayed home, we chez Mom Voyage are easing back into travel guides the safest way: with road trips. With a focus on easy(ish) day or weekend trips from major cities, recs for local food social-distancing style, plus tons of outdoor spaces to explore with kids (masks on around other humans, please) we’re kicking off with the Mom’s Guide to the Hudson Valley....

The Duchess of Cambridge — better known to us commoners across the pond as Kate Middleton — spoke candidly about life as a new mom with Prince George during a royal visit on Wednesday. The duchess was speaking with staff at a children and parents center in Cardiff, Wales, the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre, where she was promoting her new early childhood survey. The organization is located in an economically impoverished neighborhood of Cardiff, the Welsh capital....

Martha Stewart celebrates her 79th birthday ( yes, that’s right) Monday, August 3 — and to celebrate her annual trip around the sun, the Food Network star decided to share a few rather stunning throwback photos. Taking to Instagram Monday morning the chef posted a series of beautiful model-shots where she can be seen wearing a very mod-style bathing suit in the first photo followed by a glam 70s-style jumper....

When Oprah Winfrey asked Meghan Markle why she believed that the royal family and the institution as a whole had one standard for Kate Middleton and a separate one for her, Markle responded by saying, “I don’t know.” But the harsh truth heard around the world during the startling two-hour interview was deafening: Meghan just wasn’t one of them. I don’t know the first thing about what it’s like to be a royal, but I do know that every word Meghan uttered struck a chord in the hearts of any Brown or Black female who’s ever been involved with a white man and his family....

Thinning hair can be caused by a variety of different issues like pregnancy, age, genetics, and stress. And those who deal with thinning hair and hair loss will often try anything to regain back some of that volume and strength. Luckily, doing so may be as easy as washing with the right shampoo....

Listen, we need to talk. Because if you aren’t following country singer Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Akins’ love story (and life together), you’re missing out, friend. A little backstory: The Georgia natives met way back in first grade and became fast friends. That friendship continued to grow, even blossoming into a high school romance at one point. When that didn’t work out, they remained friends. It was until they were both literally about to get hitched to other people that Akins’ dad intervened....

Moms are on duty literally 24-7. As a mother of all boys, I routinely joked that I was busy from “son up to son down” — but even that wasn’t accurate, because it implies a stretch of solid rest in between. And, well, no. If someone wasn’t having a generally restless sleep (keeping me awake in the process), they were having a nightmare; if they weren’t wanting to sleep in our bed, they were barfing or peeing in theirs....

You’ve probably seen those people lugging around a big gallon of water everywhere they go. Some might use old milk jugs with lines drawn on them, tracking their water intake by the hour. Others have the fancier jugs with inspirational quotes written on them to encourage water drinking. Until recently, I had an in-between version: a simple, reusable jug with tick marks denoting hours throughout the day. Like so many people, I struggle with drinking enough water every day, and aiming for a gallon helps keep me on track....
