Here’s everything you need to know about childproofing your baby’s nursery. Danger Zone 1: The baby monitor. Despite their convenience, baby monitors, if used improperly, can be deadly. Since 2002, seven children have strangled due to entanglement in baby monitor cords. “I’ve seen monitors placed into the bassinet and crib or on the crib rail right next to baby, which is a strangulation risk,” says Kimberlee Mitchell, child safety expert and founder of Boo Boo Busters, Inc....

Throughout the series, people are confronted by Jennifer’s beautiful and haunting images on both her good days and bad. From smiles in their shared bed to the fearsome moments in the doctor’s office, each snapshot is more emotional than the last. More from CafeMom: A Woman Battling Breast Cancer Was Turned Away From MAC Cosmetics Though she ultimately succumbed to the disease two years later at age 40, her profound message is still very much alive in The Battle We Didn’t Choose: My Wife’s Fight With Breast Cancer (available as an eBook for iPad or PDF at MyWifesFightWithBreastCancer....

Bare legs just didn’t cut it with my newsgirl suits, and as a result, I spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years on pantyhose. Since I was on the go all day, I had to have hosiery that was both durable and comfortable — I typically spent between $14 and $26 per pair, and even then, they would sometimes run just seconds after I’d put them on....

Oh, don’t worry. I’m not talking about building a moving staircase (though secret passageways would be cool). And I can’t tell you how to install a magic wall, or get to Diagon Alley. But, should you so happen to be as in love with the story as I am, here are some ways you can incorporate a little magic into your home. Without looking like a total fangirl. Which I am not....

Say wha? Seacrest looked pretty astonished too, and Hunt laughed, “Isn’t that sexy?” Well, yes, yes it is Helen! Affordable fashion is always sexy, right ladeez? Hmm — hold that “affordable” thought… While the dress isn’t anything incredible, it’s pretty; a classic Armani-esque strapless, mermaid type number with a sort of bustle in the back, in a dark blue satiny material that flatters Hunt’s skin and hair but looked a bit wrinkled already on the red carpet....

Of course there will be an investigation to see if McCaskill really did spank a student. But there are multiple witnesses who say they saw him do the deed. He could lose his job over the incident. Or not? Witnesses say McCaskill actually sat down in a chair and put the 17-year-old girl over his knee to give her a dose of old-school discipline. Conjure that image in your head and — shudder....

You know the old phrase “misery loves company”? These illustrations let you know you’re not alone in the funniest possible way. These moms came up with the idea after commiserating after having their first babies. So they know what they’re talking (or joking) about!

The mom of two kids, ages 9 and 12, believes you and your own kids can fit in a few yoga moves no matter how much of a marathon your mornings tend to be. That may mean putting on some music and doing a fun sequence as a fun wake-up while you’re still in your PJs, she says. “Or, it could be done after breakfast when lunches are made and backpacks are ready....

And if you’ve ever found yourself wondering how to wash your makeup brushes so that they stay perfect forever? Well, you’ve come to the right place. I have more makeup brushes than I know what to do with, and I wash them CONSTANTLY. There is no greater expert on their care and maintenance than me. I have tried every potion, machine, and magical spell that promises to make your brushes gleam....

Smash. You drop the palette, and you break your favorite eye shadow. But don’t worry: Your options aren’t limited to dealing with dusty broken makeup, or repurchasing. I’m going to show you how to fix ANY broken eye shadow palette in under a minute — and everything you need is probably already in your bathroom. I can imagine you’d suffer some consistency issues if you tried this on cream- or oil-based products, so maybe don’t do that....

The first thing you should try is to elevate their head. This keeps all that mung from pooling in their heads and making them even more miserable. No need to stick your child in a chair for the night; just add a couple of pillows to their pile or stick a few thick books underneath the head of their mattress. Use saline nose spray. They hate this — at least the kids who live in my house do — but it works to clear out a stuffy nose and help them breathe easier....

Here are just a few little touches we can glean from their fabulous parties to use in throwing memorable parties in our very own homes. Of course they have big budgets and lots of staff to help them orchestrate their affairs, but they can serve as inspiration nonetheless. Just pick and choose as you see fit. Invite people with lots of animosity against one another. The longer they’ve held the grudge, the better....

I’m at that weird in-between stage that everybody talks about. My clothes are growing snug. My stomach’s no longer flat. And I just don’t look like myself. But, still, strangers wouldn’t know I’m pregnant. And it’s getting frustrating. Getting dressed each day is getting interesting. This morning, I put on a sweater I hadn’t worn yet this year, a sweater that used to be kind of loose on me, and it was snug....

With limited retail and design choices, we have to get creative to dress fashionably. One option many of us overlook is the men’s section. Straight-size women have worn so-called “boyfriend style” for ages. Since big and tall men’s clothes have traditionally not been great, plus-size women didn’t wade in the men’s section waters. But now that retailers are offering more modern plus-size men’s clothes, that’s slowly changing. I decided to check out what else is in the “big men” corner of ASOS....

On first blush, this is great news! As a denim fanatic, I’ve worn and recommended Madewell’s jeans for years. I was always disappointed that I couldn’t suggest my favorite jeans to my plus-size friends, especially since we live in a world where the average woman wears a size 16. The “expanded sizing” is scheduled to roll out slowly, and denim-focused brand Madewell is the first to update its size charts and list the “more inclusive” jeans on its site....

The magazine is featuring the trend toward ’70s bush, but it’s also revealing something else: the general fear we seem to feel as a culture for just saying vagina (or vulva, as the case may be). As a writer, I’m a word person and there are certain sexual words I hate to say. These words include “panties” (shudder); “making love” (retch); “lover” (AGH); and “cum” (just say orgasm, peeps!). I used to hate the p-word for vagina, but it’s growing on me lately....

Singer John Mayer has had to reduce the asking price on his shabby little Pacific Palisades home by almost half a million bucks. Maybe that’s because it’s pretty darn hard to look past the hideous exterior of the little hell hole. I mean, who wants to spend over a mill on that? Of course, savvier homebuyers can look beyond the home’s exterior and check out the much nicer interior. However, probably no one wants to think about what sort of creepy things have gone on in slutty John Mayer’s house....

Also, at no point in this did Destiney say that Dbleudazzled invented sparkly bodysuits. She just called attention to the fact that a now-former client, who had bought pieces from her before, suddenly released an item that looked eerily similar. So. Fashion history THAT. Like I said, I’ll keep you posted. title: “Khloe Kardashian Accused Of Copying An Indie Fashion Designer” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-07” author: “Ben Hunter” Also, at no point in this did Destiney say that Dbleudazzled invented sparkly bodysuits....
