There’s a new report surrounding Prince Philip’s death and how Prince Harry found out that his grandfather had passed is adding a new layer to the ongoing family feud. With the former senior royal living eight time zones away from the U.K., Harry and Meghan Markle were sleeping when the palace tried to reach him about the sad news. TMZ is reporting that a representative from the U.S. Embassy tried to reach the Duke of Sussex by phone around 3 a....

With pumpkin spice latte season far behind us, and the peppermint mocha fervor of the holidays in the rear view as well, picking a special drink from the Starbucks menu as a treat can feel like a challenge. We don’t want to switch back to plain iced coffee just because Santa’s gone back to the North Pole and the ball has dropped in Times Square. Thankfully, Starbucks is keeping the celebration alive this January, with the return of the smoked butterscotch latte....

Normally, I don’t love amplifying the voice of mommy-shamers, but every once in a while, it’s clear that someone needs to step in and set these people straight. The latest opinionated commenter to have me ready to throw a tantrum was a woman who decided to target Teen Mom 2’s Kailin Lowry over an absolutely adorable TikTok video of her 2-year-old son, who apparently hasn’t started potty training. “I think you are one heck of a [mom] Kail but really?...

Moms are part of an exclusive club where, in addition to getting the privilege of watching a human grow and evolve from day one, you earn the right to proudly don mom jewelry. Suddenly birthstones strung into bracelets and mother’s necklaces — like nameplates, only momplates — that may have seemed super corny pre-baby are bringing you to tears because they aren’t just another accessory. They’re representative of who you are and who has your heart....

Nothing’s better than taking a lunch or dinner outside. Fresh air, green grass, and tasty food, most likely made by everyone around you. What’s not so lovely? The bugs swarming your potato salad, watermelon, and pie. However, there’s no reason to let a few bugs rain on your parade, so all you need to do is cover them up until you’re ready to serve it up. All you need to do is use some durable picnic food covers and you can resume with your party!...

If there’s one thing everyone wants to improve, it’s their sleeping situation. We can all use some more shut eye these days, and there are a few tricks to helping you fall asleep faster. From adjusting your thermostat to changing out your mattress and pillows so you’re properly aligned for posture-friendly sleep, it’s not exactly something you can change overnight. However, adding some stylish and comfortable pajamas into your bedtime routine can certainly encourage you to stick to your bed time instead of binging TV all night long....

Wielding a vacuum around the house will never be anyone’s favorite domestic chore, but if you’ve got kids and/or pets, it’s more or less a daily necessity to keep your space mess-free. And while plenty of vacuums (hello, Dyson!) get all the fanfare, there’s no shortage of Dyson vacuum dupes that provide the same power… without the hefty price tag....

When we were little, the anticipation we felt leading up to the holidays was overwhelming. Luckily, our trusty advent calendars were there to give us a little treat each day, helping take some of the edge off before the big present-palooza arrived. But now we’re adults, which means we’re totally chill during the holiday season. JUST KIDDING! We’re still bursting at the seams with excitement and anticipation for the holidays, which is why we love that advent calendars for adults (and pets!...

It’s back to school season and “Octomom” Nadya Suleman has quite a few kids to get ready for school. The California native has 14 kids, and she recently shared an update of her octuplets’ first day of 8th grade!

If you’ve been looking for a way to make a difference amid the coronavirus pandemic, well, look no further. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher just launched their “Quarantine Wine” charity to make it easy for the rest of us to chip in. How? Pop a cork, pal! The couple will be selling a very special vino, and 100 percent of the profits will go to benefit COVID-19 relief efforts. Kutcher and Kunis shared the news via his Instagram account on Sunday afternoon in a funny (and wildly endearing) home video....

There comes a time in many couples’ relationships when you want to make your sex life a little… spicier. Once you’ve learned how to make each others’ bodies feel good, you can fall into a real rut. Trying something new between the sheets requires trust, an open mind and lots and lots of communication. That’s where the safe word comes in — a word that both partners agree means stop. No, seriously, stop....

Is there anything better than a sweet, fresh heirloom tomato straight from the farmer’s market in the middle of summer? Okay, maybe plucking a tomato from the vine in your own garden is a little better, but our point is that summer tomatoes are one of the best foods out there....

Pull out that tissue box and settle in. Angelina Jolie sent her 17-year-old daughter Zahara off to college and her reaction was so very relatable. The actress was captured on video being asked how she was feeling as her teen embarks on her first year at Spelman College, and she responded: “I’m going to start crying! I haven’t started crying yet.” School president Dr. Helene Gayle can be heard reassuring Jolie that there’s still plenty of time left to cry at the next night’s big event, which she quipped was designed to “purposely…induce [tears] — bring it all out....

Have any questions about C-sections? It seems April Love Geary is ready and willing to answer them. The model and mom of three with singer Robin Thicke was her usual beautifully blunt self in her recent Instagram Stories posts, answering super-personal questions about her three elective C-sections, previous abortion and miscarriage, and her postpartum recovery. “I had an elective C-section all three times because I’m terrified of natural birth, so I just decided to have a major surgery instead,” Geary said frankly at the beginning of her Q&A session on Wednesday....

I actually can’t count how many times a friend, an article, or a news report has recommended that the best way to deal with 2020 anxiety is to meditate. To which I am constantly asking: WHEN? Chris Hemsworth feels my pain. And he just made a series of videos illustrating what parents go through when they try to practice meditation or any kind of self-care this year with children in the house....

Christina Aguilera is taking fans on her self-love journey, and the next stop of this journey is where she posts glowing bikini photos for everyone to fawn over!

When it comes to President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden’s love story, there’s one chapter we love to hear told time and again. The couple has been married for more than 40 years, but the way their marriage started wasn’t what you’d expect. In fact, the phrase “fifth time’s the charm” is pretty appropriate here. President Biden proposed to Jill five times before she said yes, but the reason why she finally accepted his proposal has a much deeper meaning....
