I’m starting to re-think this decision, but it’s too late. It’s happening. There are certainly pros and cons to spending the holiday with your ex. The list of pros: Kids aren’t shuffled from one home to the other. My ex would have had Thanksgiving alone since his family is all spread out and plane rides away. The kids enjoy when mom and dad are getting along. We have the Halloween experience to prove it....

Although I left a lot of things behind in 2017, there are two things I’m definitely bringing into the new year: 1) bling and 2) my Disney obsession. And now that I’ve found Rita Lane Vintage’s collection of Disney princess tiaras, I’m starting 2018 as the magical royalty I’ve always aspired to be. Rapunzel tiara ($78, Rita Lane Vintage) They’re featured on the shop’s website as wedding tiaras — but Disney princesses don’t play by the rules, and neither should you!...

But on Instagram, lash extensions are getting some EXTRA attention, thanks to a viral DIY tutorial that has a lot of people talking. But Shayanne isn’t a professional aesthetician, so her advice on the “right” way to glue things to your lash line should be taken with a grain of salt. When I asked if she was worried about her followers possibly damaging their lashes the way she herself did when starting out, Thomas wasn’t concerned....

Turns out, there’s a 10th. In January, CNBC polled a number of people in the pornography industry and found out that female performers usually out-earn their male counterparts. By a lot. The average porn actress earns between $800 and $1,000 for a male-female sex scene, while men in porn average $500-$600 per scene. Here’s CNBC’s breakdown in porn pay range: Those behind the scenes — camera operators, sound technicians, writers, makeup artists — also command a pretty penny in adult entertainment, but CNBC doesn’t break this down by gender....

“As a culture we are always on the go,” says Erin Broderick, a licensed massage therapist working in New York for seven years. “It’s important to acknowledge when you need to take care of yourself.” But too many people deny themselves this little luxury because they’re scared. And if you’ve never had a professional massage before, that’s understandable! So to help you overcome your fears, we chatted with Erin about exactly what to expect from — and how to prepare for — your first massage....

I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. The glory days of televised amazingness … at least, the way I remember it. MacGyver. The A-Team. Family Ties. The Cosby Show. Growing Pains. Remember how tame those shows in the ’80s were? The A-Team was about a bunch of mercenaries, but it was still family-friendly. MacGyver had people trying to kill him all the time, but he didn’t like guns. The other shows featured loving families dealing with regular family issues....

Whether the car was in a driveway, on a field, or traveling down a dirt road in the middle of the country doesn’t matter. If a car is moving, there’s a possibility of an accident — one that could have seriously hurt that unsecured baby.

There was also Monopoly. Lots and lots of Monopoly. There was no Monopoly in my house because I had no siblings to play with and my parents wouldn’t play as much as I wished. As much as three appealed to me, it wasn’t until I had my own first child followed very quickly (18 months later) by our second that I realized just how much WORK three really was. And then I started to question it....

Sara Guidry was looking in her son Kale’s mouth when she noticed a strange white spot on his gums. She got a pair of tweezers to pull out the offending object and discovered — much to her shock and that of every person who would later see the footage on Facebook — that there was a fingernail stuck in Kale’s gum. Actually, scratch that — not “a” fingernail, four fingernails!...

Some applauded Jenner for her dedication to inclusivity, while others perceived the move as an empty marketing ploy. The reviews surrounding both the concealer’s shade range AND its quality have been severely mixed thus far, so we decided we’d do our own test.Two Revelist staffers on opposite sides of the skin tone spectrum gave their faces the Kylie treatment, and the result was… well, you’ll see. For starters, arm swatch photos across the brand’s Instagram were lit inconsistently, making it difficult to determine each shade’s true lightness and undertone....

When we tried Good American’s first collection, we found the sizing was weird, the quality wasn’t great, and the plus-size offerings were lacking. Not great for a brand that’s meant to be about celebrating all bodies. But now Good American season 2 is here, and it’s supposed to be better than ever. The Good Squad features a more diverse cast of model-influencers and there are more products, along with promises of even better denim quality, improved fit, and better plus-size options....

Models, even plus-size ones, still feel pressure to look a certain way to maintain their images in a competitive and cut-throat industry. But there is one procedure in particular that may be more common among plus-size women than others: the removal of the “double chin.” There are a couple of ways to achieve this effect, he explained: One is liposuction under the chin, and the other is Kybella, a series of non-surgical injections that “melts” the fat away....

While the condition is remarkably common, even experts say they have more questions than answers about the disease: For example, no one knows why adult women are disproportionately affected by the disorder. “It’s extremely embarrassing and self-defeating,” a 24-year-old survivor, who still struggles with Trich, told Revelist. “I’ve thought about shaving my head and starting over, I’ve tried wigs, but there is no hiding from yourself.” Much of the shame survivors feel stems from the lack of education about Trichotillomania — that their illness isn’t a moral failing, and that help is available to them....

That explains at least some of those awkward middle school photos, right? The peeps over at PsyBlog are awesome at combing through scientific research that normal folks like us might have missed. And recently, they uncovered a study in Experimental Brain Research that compared the left sides of people’s faces with the features on their right. Nope, they’re not exactly the same. We probably don’t even need to tell you which side is “better....

Mom Jess Wolf explained that just because her house doesn’t partake in the annual Santa magic doesn’t mean that her child feels like she’s missing out or is jealous of her friends in preschool. “She just accepts that we don’t,” Jess told the Sun. “We do enjoy wandering around the shops at Christmas together, with the fairy lights and the music — but I feel that a walk in the park or reading a book together is just as magical....

Not in my house, we don’t. For one thing, I married an actor. He likes to rehearse everything, even dinner parties. For another, I’ve dabbled in theater myself and I know the benefits of dry runs. Plus I’m a true Girl Scout. My purse (and now my diaper bag) are always stocked with just-in-case supplies. I’m something of a fanatic about being prepared. But how do you really rehearse being a mom?...
