Most new parents have high hopes that their babies will turn out to be sweet little souls who smile and coo and sleep peacefully like a real-life angel — so why not name them after one? Angelic names for babies — not to mention baby names that literally mean “angel” — do exist, and they’re not all religious. Okay, yes, “angels” originated in the Bible. They are, after all, otherworldly beings who supposedly act as messengers for the Christian God....

As the planets move through the year in astrology and the sun occupies the “seasons” of the different signs there’s a different energy associated with the time of year. For Aquarius season, which begins in late January and winds down mid-February, that vibe is one that celebrates the individuality, the passionate hope for the future (after all, the days are getting longer again) and the intellectual power of collaborating and moving forward....

“He’s watching too much TV,” my husband whispered as we piled into the car. Yes, I’d noticed how long it took to pry the remote control from my 7-year-old’s hand before we left. These days, I didn’t recognize my son unless he was holding the remote. They were inseparable, like he and that drool-drenched frog he loved from his toddler days. Still, I brushed off my husband’s comment. I mean, how bad could it be?...

As we’ve moved through various stages of the pandemic — with cases inching back up to levels of previous spikes yet there being little meaningful attempts at encouraging masking, social distancing or remote solutions — parents are understandably eager to ensure their children are as protected as possible as they move about their lives. On Tuesday, the US Food and Drug Administration announced that Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 Vaccine dosage for kids between the ages of 5 and 11 have been granted emergency use authorization for single boosters five months after their initial two-part series....

Gabrielle Union’s new memoir You Got Anything Stronger? pulls back layers where you didn’t know the Bring It On star could get any deeper or more vulnerable — and then she does, peeling back ten more layers to show you exactly how the pain hit her body, what went through her mind, and what it felt like when she started to come back to herself. Already known in Hollywood for her candor, Union fully embraces her role as a truth-teller in this second collection of stories on her life, a follow-up to 2017’s We’re Going to Need More Wine....

Look, we American girls love a good shopping spree. When you grow up in the era of rising Kardashian frenzy, it’s hard not to covet expensive clothes, shoes, and cars, and the luxury lifestyle they represent. But while designer logos and five-figure outfits are de rigeur in American celebrity culture, there’s a different mindset over in the UK — and when Meghan Markle came in hot with Beverly Hills price tags her first year as a royal, she reportedly ruffled quite a few feathers....

Singer and director Sia went from being a single woman with no kids to becoming the mom of two and a grandmother at 44. That escalated quickly! In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe on Tuesday, she described the “roller coaster” of adopting two Black 18-year-old boys out of the foster care system last year, and how much they’ve opened her eyes to racial injustice. “They were in 18 different locations in their 18 years,” Sia said of the boys, criticizing the foster-care system that completely failed them....

From the time they learn to crawl, little ones have a need for speed (and more than enough energy to exert it, mind you). They go from inch worming around your living room carpet to scurrying around your living space as fast as their little legs will take them, right before your eyes. Then they feast theirs on all the different vehicles zipping past your house and beg for their own set of wheels to take them faster still....

When we were kids, grabbing a can of Coke (okay, we admit we were actually a Pepsi family) out of the fridge like six times a day felt totally normal.

Ever since I started making out, fooling around and having sex with other people when I was in my teens, a hot topic of conversation among me and girlfriends was feelings of attachment after we’d had a great, passionate session with a potential partner. I’ve had — and heard of — experiences from women who really weren’t that into someone or weren’t sure how they were feeling, then after having sex with them felt a strong sense of attachment....
