As we near the end of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and the most consequential election of our lifetimes, the stakes could not be higher for victims and survivors—including myself. My experience with abuse was at the hands of the former attorney-general of New York State, Eric Schneiderman, who prior to his resignation had been considered Trump’s number one nemesis. (Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in November 2018 that, although she believes the women who accused Schneiderman, she is unable to prosecute him due to “legal impediments, including statutes of limitations....

In more than 38 countries for more than 39 years, Ben & Jerry’s have been a staple in the ice cream aisle. And for good reason: Nearly every pint is a creamy, decadent, irresistible 16 ounces of sweet perfection. As much as we hate to admit it, not all flavors are created equal. With anywhere from 50 to 75 flavors available at any given time, it’s a seemingly impossible task to knock ’em all out of the park; that’s why we spent a lot of time putting in the backbreaking work (read: ate a lot of ice cream) to provide you with the top 11 Ben & Jerry’s flavors for you to try first....

Bryce Dallas Howard, alongside her Jurassic World: Dominion co-star DeWanda Wise, sat down with Metro UK earlier this week to chat about their film’s extended release. The conversation took an unexpected turn when Howard admitted that her body was a main topic of discussion by unidentified execs. Howard, who did all her own stunts in the third installment of the Jurassic World series was asked what she hoped her role meant for female representation in action films and she responded with: “What being in this third film allowed, how do I say this?...

Talking about common but at-times confusing STI is just another powerful way to reduce stigma and help everyone better understand our bodies. Jamie Otis (of Married at First Sight) took to instagram to talk a bit about her experience being diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) during pregnancy and a friendly reminder about regularly looking after your reproductive health. In a video set to “I Will Survive” posted on instagram, Otis shared that after she and her husband had their son Hendrix in May, she was given word from her doctors that they’d found “high risk cells” in her postpartum checkup appointment....

Known as a singer with chart-topping hits like “No Air” and “One Step At a Time,” and as the winner of 2007’s American Idol, Jordin Sparks let fans see another side of her during this year’s Dancing With the Stars. Paired with professional dancer Brandon Armstrong – who Sparks calls her “brother for life now”– the singer made it to Week 7 before being eliminated. With no prior formal dancing experience under her belt, she understood the competition would be a challenge, but she never expected it to be so intense....

Were you hoping to have Meghan Markle and Prince Harry speak at a future event? Too bad, you (probably) can’t afford it. The dynamic Sussex duo recently signed with esteemed speaking agency Harry Walker Agency, and are set to be making an astronomical amount per speech, with speaking fees matching those afforded to fellow celeb speakers like Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey. Obviously, the words of Meghan, Michelle, and Oprah are all worth their weight in gold, but we didn’t realize just how many institutions are willing to pay six figures for the privilege of hearing them....

Prince Harry joined a handful of celebrities including President Joe Biden, Chrissy Teigen, and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck this past weekend for the TV taping of Global Citizen’s Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, an event intended to raise vaccine awareness and promote the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across the world. Harry’s speech for a live audience focusing on the dangerous spread of misinformation and the need for a strong global community has been widely praised already as an example of how the new-and-improved Harry is using his platform for good and building on key issues in his burgeoning advocacy career....

Finding (and paying for) quality childcare can be a challenge and lots of parents are lucky enough to have family nearby to help out, but one Reddit grandfather is calling BS on his son-in-law and daughter’s selfish childcare plan. Reddit user AITAThrowaway9832 posted in the popular subreddit Am I The Asshole recently asking if he was out of line for suggesting his daughter and her husband hire a nanny. “My daughter (27F) and son-in-law (30M) currently have two kids (4 and 6)....

Good, mutually satisfying sex requires a bit of time and energy to get right. To have an emotionally, physically stimulating experience, you and your partner(s) are going to want to do what you can to shift yourselves into a sensual and sexual mindset — this is where foreplay comes in. Think of it as the time you’re dedicating to shifting from your day-to-day you (the one picking dirty clothes off the floor, harassing kids about homework and trying to balance zoom meetings) and the you in the bedroom....

Former Bachelor contestant Bekah Martinez is the latest mom this week to be shamed by Internet trolls. First Jessie James Decker gets shamed for walking in underwear around her kids and now this? On Martinez’s “Chatty Broads With Bekah and Jess” podcast, she recalled a time when her 1-year-old daughter, Ruth, found her vibrator and started biting on it like a teether. Of course, people swiftly came after her on a Reddit thread which seems to have been taken down....

Once those mobile skills kick in, little ones want to go, go, go in any way they can — and you’d be surprised how fast tiny legs can scurry from one room to the next. You could always teach your child how to ride a bike to expel some of that energy, but that requires time, effort and loads of practice. But here’s some good news: there’s an alternative to bike riding when mom’s energy levels start to wane, and that’s ride on toys....

When I first became a vegetarian, there were only a handful of faux meats on the market and even fewer that were actually delicious. But these days, we’re in something of a vegetarian meat renaissance, especially now that several people are turning to meat alternatives due to the meat shortages affecting stores like Costco and Kroger. Plant-based alternatives are becoming more important than ever and companies are scrambling to put out the tastiest versions of burgers, sausage, chicken tenders and even jerky for vegetarian, vegan and even meat-eaters to enjoy....

Let’s be clear: kettlebells are not at all like dumbbells. Sure, both fitness tools are weighted and pack a punch when it comes to upping your strength. However, what makes kettlebells different than dumbbells is that the weight is unbalanced and offset. Meaning they kick in your core and require balance and coordination to use properly, mimicking objects you might use in your everyday life, which makes them an excellent source of functional fitness....
