Updated May 18, 2020: On Monday, the American Camp Association and the YMCAs of the United States released what they’re calling a Field Guide for Camps on Implementation of CDC Guidance. The guide, developed by an environmental health consulting firm provides detailed suggestions about screening for COVID-19 before camp starts and upon arrival; managing facilities and food service; transportation; and a big one: camp group sizes. (Or as the guide calls it, the “concentric circle of infection prevention model....

For those who worship at the altar of hot celebrity couples, it’s been a tough spring and summer. Kelly Clarkson, Kristin Cavallari, Cardi B, and more are seeing the end of their marriages, and we’re starting to think this whole worldwide shutdown might have something to do with it. Armie Hammer, who in July announced he was splitting from wife of ten years Elizabeth Chambers, is speaking out about his breakup too — but even more so, he’s talking about the weeks and months that led up to it....

It’s a parental truth universally acknowledged that Elf on the Shelf is the bane of so many holiday seasons. But alas, here we are at the start of December — and for many parents, that means you’ve brought out the Elfie. Maybe you have a love-hate relationship (or, OK, a hate-hate relationship) with the wily little guy....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. Technology has made our lives so much better in so many ways — but when it comes to sex, sometimes it’s just better to keep things old-school. That’s right; all you need for some next-level sex is a pair of handcuffs and a couple of basic sex positions. Yup, we saw you perk up in your seat with the mention of handcuffs....

It looks as though the Cambridges can hob-knob with Hollywood just as well as they entertain dignitaries and world leaders. Prince William and Kate Middleton mingled with celebrities at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday night, looking relaxed in the company of A-listers like actor Joaquin Phoenix — who William even praised for his transformative performance in the award-winning Joker. The BAFTAs were held Sunday evening at London’s Royal Albert Hall, so William and Kate did have the home team advantage, so to speak....

It’s not hard to tell when you’re sick. You’re tired, your nose is runny and you feel like crap in general. But while the signs you are coming down with something are obvious, most of the time it’s not so easy to tell if you just have a common cold — or if you have a more serious case of the flu. Here’s the deal with the two similar — yet at the same time very different — illnesses....

The minute the CDC announced that vaccinated people could go without a mask indoors, many parents must have thought the same as I did: Welp, there go all our summer travel plans. The world seems so much safer for the inoculated, and so much more questionable for our children 11 and under — what with any unvaccinated adult able to declare themselves otherwise and roam mask-free. So, can we travel with our kids this summer?...

Whenever my four-year-old son informs friends at a dinner party (or, you know, random passing strangers at the library, as the case may be) that he lives in East Nashville, and before that he lived in Brooklyn, and before that he lived “in Mommy’s uterus and came out of her vagina,” shocked looks abound. But honestly, I’m damn proud that my preschooler knows where babies come from, and I’m working hard to teach him about the other important, albeit uncomfortable, topics too — like consent....

Cunnilingus, or oral sex, is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Since most vagina-havers experience orgasm through clitoral stimulation and not intercourse, it’s also a near surefire way to ensure sexual satisfaction in a relationship. But our partners aren’t always sure we want it and, to be honest, a lot of people with vaginas aren’t always sure they want to receive it. We think about the way our vaginas look. How they smell....

It’s hard to believe that beloved singer Pink is turning 42 years old this year. The “Just Give Me A Reason” songstress celebrates her birthday on September 8, and we know that her longtime love, Carey Hart, will be right by her side to celebrate — along with the couple’s two kids, Willow Sage, 10, and Jameson Moon, 4. But just a few months ago, at the beginning of 2021, Pink and Hart celebrated another major milestone together....

When I first picked up Waypoints, by Outlander’s Sam Heughan, I have to be honest, I thought I’d be reading a book about a man walking up a snowy mountain. The sixth grader in me, who was forced to read White Fang, where a man and a wolf wandered endlessly in the snow for 557 pages (or what seemed like it at the time), was worried. The thought of that long book still sends a chill through me....

Parents and kids alike have been wondering, throughout the past few months of this pandemic: What on earth is going to happen to summer camp? And while we asked around for various camp professionals’ plans and opinions, it all felt pretty haphazard and play-it-by ear. Most camps were planning to stay open, although many planned to shut down or already had done so, plus there’s the whole new world of virtual camps opening up these days, piggybacking on virtual schooling and virtual story times and more....

Following the premiere of her new documentary “Miss Americana” at Sundance Film Festival on Thursday, Taylor Swift discussed, for the first time, how celebrity influenced her relationship with her body and her relationship to food. In an interview for Variety’s Sundance issue cover story, Swift explained how increased public scrutiny encouraged and exacerbated her developing an eating disorder. “It’s not good for me to see pictures of myself every day,” Swift said....

It’s probably safe to say that most of us don’t exactly have bathrooms that could be confused for spas. But it turns out that making one simple swap can bring an otherwise humble shower one step closer to an oasis of stress relief: simply add a removable shower head to your existing set-up. With multiple spray settings evoking powerful rain, gentle mists and indulgent massage, a handheld shower head can elevate basic bathing into a luxurious experience....
