Smiling from the newsstands this week are the cutest cover stars! Bindi Irwin and daughter, Grace Warrior, share sweet cuddles and big smiles on this week’s issue of People, with photos taken by someone very special: Bindi’s brother, Robert Irwin! The joy is contagious on 13-month-old Grace’s face, as she smiles and sticks out her tongue on the cover photo. Her little fingers are grasping onto her mom’s as she stands up and shows off her blue floral shorts and tiny khaki Australia Zoo button down shirt with her name embroidered on the right pocket — and my heart can’t take any more adorableness!...

‘Tis the season for strange celebrity baby names, what with the Branches and Buddy Desserts and X Æ A-12s of the world (or at least, of the Hollywood) that have been born throughout 2020. And yet, every once in awhile, a celeb throws out a classic that we love just as much as the weird ones. Such is the case with Billie Lourd, who welcomed her and Austin Rydell’s son Kingston recently — and announced his arrival Thursday after keeping it a secret....

It’s got to be about as fun for a dad to talk to his child about their period as it is for a child to talk to their dad about menstruating — not at all. But that’s mostly because we’re dealing with a long history of ignorance and stigma. One Reddit dad’s post revealing his outrageous misconceptions about tampons and his 13-year-old daughter shows us just how necessary it is for parents (and all humans too, for that matter) to understand how menstruating bodies work....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. I relish in the simple joys of life. To me, the perfect way to wrap just about any day, involves switching off my daytime overhead lights in favor of my dimmer, warmer night time table lamps, lighting my most beloved Maison Margiela ‘REPLICA’ By The Fireplace Scented Candle to pretend that I actually have a fireplace (without, you know, the responsibilities of actually having one), cooking dinner with Taylor Swift blaring in the background, and cozying up on the couch with a bowl of whatever I just made to enjoy while I stream the latest episode of my show du jour....

Women with dense breast tissue are more likely to develop breast cancer, yet most of us aren’t educated by our doctors about this risk factor. A new regulatory measure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to change that. The FDA is planning to implement new mammogram standards to support people with dense breasts, according to a letter from Katherine Klimczak, the agency’s acting legislative director. Writing to United States Rep....

Look at the smiles of your favorite celebs and influencers and you’ll likely notice that they have one thing in common: dazzling white teeth. Unfortunately, for many of us mere mortals, coffee, wine and food stains — or just our genetics — may have left us with a less-than-gleaming grin. Of course, many dentists offer teeth whitening treatments, but they’re often costly and time consuming — not to mention inconvenient. Luckily, at-home teeth whitening kits are a safe, effective and less expensive alternative to those professional in-office services....

These days, Jennifer Lopez is keeping certain details about her rekindled romance with Ben Affleck as private as possible.

The most pandemic-times question we’ve seen in ages is currently gaining attention on the UK-based parenting forum, Mumsnet. On the site’s Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) subforum, one mom is concerned that she’s off-base for disallowing her unvaccinated in-laws to visit the kids. Coming on the same day that the CDC has released info suggesting vaccinated people may visit with unvaccinated people unmasked — provided the unvaccinated are at low risk for severe disease — this topic made our ears perk up for sure....

Where does our responsibility to protect our children end and the need to teach them about bodily autonomy begin? This is not a question we can really answer in a mere article. But we do think one place to let kids figure out how to express themselves without any dire consequences is with their hair. One mom who helped her daughter shave her head last week is realizing that not everyone agrees....

I still have photos of my daughter’s last “normal” day of school. It was Tuesday, March 10th, 2020, an unseasonably warm day in New Jersey. Her Pre-K class was celebrating Holi, the popular ancient Indian festival celebrating spring. The students had been required to bring plain white T-shirts that would then get saturated with color. I had been annoyed that morning, because I was on a business trip and kept getting texts from my daughter’s teacher, asking for written permission for Lucy to get dirty....

When you’re shopping for home furnishings, things like throw pillows, cute storage baskets and extravagantly potted plants are just some of the items that add personality to your living space. But if you like to keep up with the trends, you won’t find the latest hot commodity in home decor in a fancy catalog. These days, bidets — yes, those bidets — and the best bidet accessories like seat bumpers and leak stoppers are all the rage as an eco-friendly alternative to toilet paper....

With all the time we have been spending at home recently, this Memorial Day weekend is a great time to treat yourself to a new mattress (and improve your sleep health). Memorial Day sales are right up there with Black Friday and Labor Day for some of the best mattress deals on popular online mattress brands. This is the perfect time of year to save hundreds on a luxury mattress like Saatva, an American-made mattress like a Brooklyn Bedding, or get a steal on high quality budget-friendly options, such as Casper, Nectar and Cocoon....

If you grumble whenever you notice that it’s going to rain and storm seven days in a row, thus making it impossible for your kids to go outside, you might want to consider getting some yoga mats. Yoga is a great way for your kids—and you— to exercise, and also to find some stillness at the same time. It’s a calming workout that helps build body strength, improve flexibility and helps bring some peace to their minds....

Tiger Woods’ rise and fall in the world of golf is an innately American story, sitting perfectly at the intersection of our love of watching an underdog succeed and our love of watching a chosen one topple. Woods has been both, a golf prodigy from age 2 whose unparalleled early success was marred by the 2009 discovery of a string of affairs while married to ex-wife Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares kids Sam and Charlie....
