To celebrate that, here’s every winner the show has ever crowned before — and after — makeup. Hold on to your wigs because they’re getting snatched clean off. What she won: $20,000, a headlining spot in the Drag Race Tour, an L.A. Eyeworks ad campaign, a spread in Paper magazine, a crown from Fierce Drag Jewels Who she had to beat: Nina Flowers, Rebecca Glasscock, Ongina What she won: $25,000, a lifetime supply of NYX Cosmetics, a headlining spot in the Drag Race Tour, an L....

I reached out to Yolanda Shoshana, “clairvoyant, courtesan curator, author, witch, and seduction alchemist.” I happen to follow her weekly card readings on Instagram. I’ve always liked how inspiring her insights were, and I wondered what she would “see” in the cards for me. Our session was utterly surprising, totally different from what I’d expected. To begin with, Yolanda uses oracle cards instead of tarot cards because she feels oracle cards are more open-ended....

Ladies: What if I told you there is a world where bras don’t injure and annoy — a place where you can feel supported and look good in all your outfits? All you have to do to get there is heed the advice of “bra whisperer” Chantelle Crabb. “Stop trying to make your boobs fit the bras and start making the bras fit your boobs,” she commands. “It’s as simple as that....

So what’s a busy mom to do? Oh, I know, deny myself any and all food. But not in the model-munching-on-tissue-paper-to-stay-skinny-for-the-catwalk kind of way (yes, they do that!). I opted for a juice cleanse. I wanted to detox. Rid my system of all those impurities and preservatives caked in every delicious morsel of yummy treats like microwave popcorn (my daily 4 p.m. snack). So I signed up for a four-day fast from American Yogini, which provided me six juices per day....

But now that I’m a mom — to a 9-month-old who’s on the verge of taking her first steps — I’m feeling a maternal need to declutter. And it’s not only for my daughter’s protection (more junk around means more for her to pick up and put in her mouth), but also in my perhaps-futile attempt to keep her from “inheriting” my messy habits. Hey, I’m not kidding myself. I’ll never be a minimalist....

Charles Stuart Platkin, the “Diet Detective” and host of WE TV’s I Want To Save Your Life gave Shine the low-down on how much exercise we’d have to do to burn off some of our chain-food favorites. To burn off the 410 calories in a Taco Bell Burrito Supreme, Beef, you’d have to dance for 70 minutes. Biking for 77 minutes will take care of a large order of fries from Wendy’s....

And I’ve stayed that way for almost 10 years. “You don’t know what you’re missing!” sigh my carnivorous friends every time I pass on dive-bar hot wings. So last week — which I’m now calling MEAT WEEK 2016 — I decided to live life as a meat-eater for seven days to see if I really don’t know what I’m missing. “I still think I prefer meat substitutes though,” I told my boyfriend....

I grew up with thinner friends, and it was sometimes very isolating. When we’d go shopping, my skinny friends would all be trying on cute clothes together — and I’d be in the accessories section, because no clothes in the store fit my body. Always being the fat friend, sister, or girlfriend can sometimes make you feel alone and misunderstood. But we all know now that style has no size....

Like shopping for jeans, it is important to find a bathing suit that is comfortable, is easy to move around in, and hugs the curves correctly. Wearing a swimsuit in public can make anyone feel exposed, but it can be an even harder experience when society has consistently taught us to hide our cellulite and tummy rolls and chubby arms. Finding swimwear that we feel completely happy in can already seem impossible — and for plus-size women (like myself) it can feel especially difficult....

But let’s face it: Constant spritzing can cost you if you’re picky. Luxury setting sprays can leave a dent in your bank account, but affordable sprays might not get the job done right. So, are either of these risks worth the struggle? Does the high-end really out-perform the drugstore, or is that all utter baloney? I pitted the cheapest setting spray against the most expensive in the ultimate sweat battle....

But one such product that permeated my Insta feed more than any of them: PMD Beauty’s “Kiss.” The lip plumping system promises to boost collagen in your lips over time to give off the appearance of fuller, supple lips in a “safe” and effective manner for $139.00. Being a fairly thin-lipped person myself, I decided to give it a try to see if it’d really take my lips to Kardashian levels of full — here’s what happened....

But, for some reason, it has been — until now. And now, American queens can get the same treatment. I was invited to their brand new store on Fifth Avenue for the ULTIMATE in royal bra fittings. And it. Was. AMAZING. It seriously changed the way that I think about bras (and gave me a really serious boob-education). Here’s everything that happened, and all the brilliant tricks I learned. I met with Morgan, one of R&P’s incredible lingerie stylists, for a seriously ~luxurybitch~ fitting....

At 7,240 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, the home is stately, luxurious, and in a sought-after location. But that doesn’t change the fact that one of the most horrible unsolved murders in U.S. history took place inside its walls. Oh, and would you believe that the real estate listing on Zillow even shows a photo of the basement where that poor, beautiful little girl was found strangled to death?...

These eating shows, called mukbang, are all the rage in Korea. The eaters are minor celebrities, many of whom earn their living through this live binge eating. They don’t just consume insane amounts of food, either. They infuse their broadcasts with excitement by eating noisily, slurping loudly and commenting on how it all tastes. One celeb eater, Rachel Ahn, told NPR she thinks her fans are living vicariously through her....

I was ecstatic this morning when I read in my Daily Candy e-mail about the Mac & Cheese of the Month Club. A different flavor of macaroni and cheese each month? What an absolutely brilliant idea! Here’s how it works: Good-Tastes.com is an online meal delivery service offering a variety of foods with simple cooking instructions to make dinnertime easier for busy people. One of the offerings is the aforementioned Mac & Cheese of the Month Club, and while it’s not affordable for the average family (3 months for $145; 6 months for $245; and 12 months for $500), at least we can get some cooking inspiration from the delicious-sounding flavors: January: Fondue Mac & Cheese February: Black Truffle Mac & Cheese with black truffle oil and sweet peas March: Mediterranean Mac & Cheese with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and pesto April: Penne With Five Cheeses including Parmesan, fontina, ricotta, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola May: Cajun Mac & Cheese with sausage, sweet onions, green peppers, and pepper jack cheese June: Pancetta and Pea Mac & Cheese July: All-American Mac & Cheese August: Caprese Mac & Cheese with tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella September: Wild Mushroom and Three Cheese Mac & Cheese October: Pumpkin and Turkey Sausage Mac & Cheese November: Carbonara Mac & Cheese with pancetta and garlic December: Brie & Fig Mac & Cheese Yum!...

Although women with disabilities are seemingly invisible in fashion, there’s one place where they’re slaying the game: Instagram. There are a number of hashtags devoted to women with disabilities who love fashion, including #DisabledAndCute, a viral hashtag created by writer and activist Keah Brown. Those hashtags are flooded with gorgeous photos of beautiful women who have created enviable outfits we should all be pinning on our “must-have” Pinterest boards....

It’s not that I think every baby doesn’t deserve a welcoming party, but baby showers were really meant to usher new parents into the crazy world of mommy and daddy-hood. They are not meant to be yearly windfalls that can be cashed in every time mommy gets pregnant again. The first time, baby showers are emotional and beautiful. By the fourth time, it gets kind of old and starts to feel like the parents-to-be are greedy....

“This lady wandered around the store whispering beneath her breath about how little boys should not wear girls clothing and how little boys should be made to be little boys…” Michaelle wrote on Facebook. Michaelle’s child happened to be wearing blue, sparkly flip-flops with beads on them. These were Michaelle’s shoes that Keith has borrowed in the past to quickly grab something outside. But she couldn’t care less that he decided to borrow her shoes “in public” during that crazy morning....

Abigail tells CafeMom that her baby girl, Anayah, was born seven weeks early and is extremely colicky. Because she also suffers from bad reflux, she’s “constantly cranky” and always wants to be held. Abigail, who also has a 16-month-old son, was at a loss for what to do. “It got to the point where I couldn’t put her down for more than 10 minutes without her crying,” she says. But then she remembered coming across a tip on Pinterest for how to trick babies into thinking that mom was still there: a rice-filed latex glove placed on their back....
