Better get your Kleenex ready. Embedded content: https://www.facebook.com/misty.n.knight/videos/10201435465204277/ Forget just Ryan adopting Misty; I want this whole family to adopt me. More from The Stir: Your Kid Is More Worried About What You Share on Social Media Than You Think You can just tell how much they adore each other in the video. Misty gives him a letter listing all the reasons she loves him, from their sharing music together, to a love of cat memes — and how he even used to do her hair like Princess Leia....

And when Halsey decided to sport her curly fro, the internet could not mind its business for a single second, and went off on the 23-year-old. But naturally (no pun), her response was perfect.

We’ll get to that in a minute. The good news is, if all you want is a simple, single-process color, you can do that yourself. In fact, the only reason to get a single-process color in a salon is just to save yourself the mess and trouble. But really, it’s not that difficult. Here’s how.

Kourtney Kardashian, Zooey Deschanel, Mila Kunis — they all had a baby before saying “I do.” And it’s not just A-listers. Forty-eight percent of all first births in the U.S. are to single moms. Here’s how to find out if marriage after kids could be right for you. You’re able to compartmentalize. We all get that children need a safe, nurturing environment to thrive, says Paul Hokemeyer, PhD, JD, a licensed marriage and family therapist based out of New York City, Los Angeles, and Telluride, Colorado....

__Tell me a little bit about yourself! __ Well, I’m a stay-at-home mom to three kids under the age of 10, I’ve been married for just over 12 years, and I feel like I have a pretty average life. Maybe even a boring life. Not always boring though, right? We are talking about one night stands here! I guess so! Can you tell me about that experience? About a year ago, I went to an out-of-town wedding for one of my college friends without my husband and kids....

Plus, it’s easier and way cleaner than peanut butter could ever be. All the mess is contained in a Ziploc bag — just where we like it.

Long before Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, or Jackie Warner, Jack LaLanne made a name for himself in the fitness game. Only for him, it wasn’t a game, it was a vital part of his life — a life he lived to the fullest for 96 years. Yesterday, he died as a result of complications from pneumonia. Though short in stature (he stood just 5'6"), he was big on the virtues of exercise and eating right, and started what would be a lifelong passion for healthy living at the age of 15....

But that’s not the reality for a lot of us. Sure, it’s true that marriage changes. Gone are the carefree days when my husband and I used to order pizza and camp on the couch all night watching bad reality TV, making out, and laughing. But things were generally different back then anyway. We had no kids, no dog, no hectic jobs, and we were 10 years younger. Marriage now, though different, is far, far better....

Now, Petyon has to use special cream on his feet for three weeks to help with the burns and Sherry wants to warn other parents about the popular shoes she bought from a local department store. “We have always bought Skechers and have never had a problem,” she says. “His specific shoe, the Skech Rayz, had an on and off switch. If parents buy these, I recommend they do not get them wet or jump in puddles....

I didn’t go to a concrete playground. Nor did I visit one that was covered in flat rubber mats. I went big and bold for my day out five inches taller to play with my 2 1/2-year-old twins. I went to a playground with the ground covered in mulch. I played on the swings, and slides, and the wood castle-like maze structure. And I even went into the sandbox, heels and all....

I had a proper good bash at expressing the first time around because I wanted my husband James to join in with some of the feeds. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy breastfeeding … though I didn’t much enjoy it. (I never cherished the feeds in the way I know some mums do, but I have long since made peace with my lack of moment-cherishing.) It was just that the prospect of breast milk in a bottle seemed like a win-win situation, and I couldn’t wait to crack out the pump and share the burden joy....

It finally did, 10 minutes behind schedule, and he bravely climbed on board as I waved and took photos and tried to squash a rising sensation of panic as the bus drove out of sight. He’s fine, I told myself. He’s going to have the best day. Forty-five minutes later, I got a call from the school. My son had been taken back to school, they said, because no parent was available to meet him at his dropoff....

Alright Jen! And thanks for sharing. If you’re a first-time mom-to-be, you may not know yet just how many beautiful teeny tiny clothes go unworn because they’re tucked in a drawer and your baby grows a size before you get around to opening that drawer again. This fun closet-organizing idea will help put an end to forgotten onesies and rompers. Jen bought these blank clothing dividers — just like the size marker dividers you see swirled around the racks in department stores — from an online supply store (Google “clothing dividers”) for just $0....

Until I found the Dollar Store (and all its glorious variations). And the dollar section of Target. And heaven help me, Oriental Trading Company — which, while a great resource is just as hit-or-miss as any of the dollar stores. What you get out of your visit to the dollar store all depends on what your organization needs are. I make a lot of art, for instance, so I need lots of storage for my supplies....

CEO Brandon Truaxe, who runs Deciem (The Ordinary’s parent brand) personally took over the brand’s official Instagram page several months ago, and things got WEIRD. Truaxe has released a series of posts and videos which have led to fans speaking out against his over-sharing, and rude comments to customers. The strange posts began with an alarming announcement of The Ordinary being pulled from American and European pharmacies due to pricing issues, followed by a post about pulling a fan-favorite Deciem-owned brand called Stemm....

“Nail tattoos take a lot more concentration and precision. From the tattooer’s perspective, it feels completely different from tattooing skin since the surface has grooves and is hard as nails. Pun intended,” celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy told Seventeen magazine.

Though the lingerie has been met with lots of good reviews, fans are still calling out the brand for falling short in a very important area: cup-size inclusivity. However, Savage X Fenty has already addressed the issue! The initial size inquiry on the brand’s pre-launch website also had bra size options that went up to 44DDD. While Augustine enjoys her bralettes, it still would have been super cool for her to be able to grab other bras in her size to get the full Savage x Fenty experience....
