Over the past few years, our shopping habits have undoubtedly become more thoughtful, intentional, and purpose-driven. We’re not only pushing for and pursuing a more eco-friendly, low-waste living, but we’re also diversifying the brands we support, including shopping more Black-owned and Black-founded brands. And Target’s made it easier than ever to do the latter....

When I started breastfeeding my daughter eight weeks ago, I wasn’t prepared for the emotional roller coaster. I’d breastfed my older kids with no major problems, but things have been very different this time. Three weeks postpartum, I got mastitis. Then I got thrush. The excruciating pain throughout every feed had me in tears, and my baby’s shallow latch didn’t help. Short version: It was a nightmare, and it didn’t take long for my mental health to suffer....

There are a number of ways to have discreet sex — mostly because there are a number of reasons you’d want to have discreet sex. The first way: Keep things quiet. Maybe you’re in a house full of people, or maybe the walls between your home and your neighbor’s home are seriously thin. No matter the cause, your aim is to keep the noise to a minimum. The second way: Keep things subtle....

Watching Madame Vice President Kamala Harris during the inaugural proceedings evoked strong feelings in women across the country. So many tears were shed, tears of pride, tears of relief, tears of joy. Being able to tellI my daughter on our way home from school that the new vice president is a woman was hugely gratifying. I was not surprised that seeing a woman in a never before held position of power in our country’s government would be so touching to so many of us....

Chrissy Teigen’s powerful honesty about her tragic pregnancy loss this week has brought out plenty of cruel trolls — but it has also done a huge service to so many who have suffered miscarriage, simply by breaking the silence about a topic that is so common, and yet seen as somehow taboo. Plus, Teigen’s speaking out in her time of grieving has inspired others to open up about their own experiences with miscarriage and stillbirth — including actor Kate Beckinsale....

When it comes to celebrity couples, you can’t get much sweeter than Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. So, it’s little wonder that the pair’s children are just as amazing as their parents’ love story. What is a bit harder to believe is just how fast the couple’s daughters are growing up. On July 7, 2020, their daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban turned 12 — meaning Kidman and Urban officially have a tween in the house!...

I first realized my dog’s medical issue had reached critical mass when I’d taken to getting him his own stash of K-Y Jelly. The second sign was when my then 3-year-old pointed to the sign outside our veterinarian’s office and — when asked if he knew what a vet was — said, “Yes, that’s where they fix the dog penises.” Taz, my then 14-year-old min-pin, had a condition called paraphimosis — that is, when his penis was exposed from its sheath, it was unable to retract back into its foreskin....

Living with chronic pain isn’t easy in any part of your life. However, the good news is you don’t have to forgo your fitness routine. In fact, by committing to a regular workout routine, you’re not only improving your health but your body will feel better too. “Exercise has been called the miracle drug because of the countless benefits to the human body and often recommended as a major component in the management of numerous disorders,” Christopher Harper, PT, DPT, OCS, tells SheKnows....

When you become a parent, you automatically start thinking about your kids’ safety. From putting them to sleep on their back to making sure their car seats are correctly installed (then teaching them about fire safety and stranger danger when they get older), protecting kids is a full-time job. And even though Prince Harry and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle’s kids are young, the royal parents are working hard to make sure the online world is safe for Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 11 months, and the next generation of kids....

At some point over the past six months, plenty of us parents were faced with the gift/scourge of endless hours to fill at home with our kids. And now, back-to-“school” for many of us has meant back-to…the entire house being filled with chaos as we attempt to work from home and “educate” (heavy quotes) our little kids with an ever-diminishing supply of time, energy, and tools. So, when all else fails: It’s time to get crafty!...

Two things are more central to weeknight cooking than chicken and slow-cookers. A slow-cooker takes much of the work out of cooking more involved meals, and chicken is the most popular and affordable kind of meat out there. So, what better way to ease your weeknight cooking load than to add a few more crowd-pleasing slow-cooker chicken recipes to your regular dinner rotation. Using your slow-cooker for chicken is a little different than using it for a tough cut of meat like pork shoulder, or a long-simmering recipe like chili....

Rachel Garrett Mercer remembers the day she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. “The first thing my doctor told me was that I ‘didn’t look diabetic’,” she said. “Looking back, it’s hard to imagine anyone saying that, because diabetic doesn’t look like one thing. Everybody is different.” Following her diagnosis, Mercer’s day-to-day life completely changed. She was placed on an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor to help manage her insulin, but as she describes it, the disease is not a “set it and forget it” type thing....
