Every Jaw-Dropping and Dramatic Look at the MTV VMAsSeptember 12, 2023 at 11:04PMThe 2023 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet kicks off at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, on Tuesday, Sept. 12. With preshow appearances from Saweetie and Sabrina Carpenter and Nicki Minaj acting as emcee, we can expect fashion that is nothing short of statement-making - and there’s good reason for that. The MTV VMAs have given rise to some of the most memorable, downright-outrageous red carpet looks throughout history, from Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress (which symbolized her support of the 2011 Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy repeal) to Miley Cyrus’s revealing Atelier Versace harness that was dripping with crystals at the 2015 ceremony. This year’s list of nominees puts Taylor Swift in the spotlight with eight nods and also recognizes artists including SZA, Cyrus, Minaj, Doja Cat, Kim Petras,…

The BEST Broccoli Fritters I’ve always been one of those people who genuinely enjoys vegetables. As a kid I looked forward to steamed broccoli (I still love it!) and I’d frequently as my Mom to make roasted asparagus.

I’ve…

How to Get Rid of Shingles FAST!How to Get Rid of Shingles FAST!September 12, 2023 at 06:16PMRemember that time I got shingles on the face? I know I won’t be forgetting that experience anytime soon…For anyone who has had or currently has shingles, you know this is a pain you won’t soon forget. They call it adult chickenpox, but I can assure you it’s far worse than chickenpox ever was (some of us actually got chickenpox pre chickenpox vaccine!). I’m going to skip over the whole medical diagnosis part since your doctor should probably be the one doing that but instead describe my personal experience with shingles i.e. herpes zoster or varicella zoster virus and how to recover from shingles quickly. The first thing I did when I got diagnosed, was immediately take to the internet to see if anyone had helpful tips…

This Turkey Sweet Potato Chili can be made in one-pot and will feed you all fall and winter long for dinner or lunches alike. The flavor is absolute perfection. Your whole family will love it! I would say that in general, I follow the seasons with my eating habits… I crave salads in the summer and cozier, heartier meals in the winter. Since living in San Francisco that all kind of goes out the window. We have warm days year round and cool days in the middle of summer. It’s strange but I love it.  So when it comes to chili, I honestly eat this year round. I know that’s not the case for most of you so I practiced some self-control and waited until…

65 Work-Appropriate Halloween Costumes For the Office

65 Work-Appropriate Halloween Costumes For the OfficeSeptember 12, 2023 at 05:56PMThere are plenty of ways to make any Halloween costume work appropriate, whether it’s by adding some office-friendly layers or making an easy clothing swap, such as bike shorts for long pants. Depending on your inspiration (pop culture, cartoons, celebrities, etc.), start by considering your team’s dress code, then take the styling details from there - toning down certain elements as you see fit. Especially given how your atmosphere and coworkers might have adjusted since the pandemic, it’s probably best to keep over-the-top accessories to a minimum. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun by keeping your outfit sensible and classy. Consider a play on Jackie Kennedy, for example, who wore plenty of monochrome skirt suits, pillbox hats, gloves, headscarves, and ‘70s-shaped sunglasses, most of which you probably have lying around your…

Options for stove-top or slow-cooker versions too depending on what tools you have. March is always a weird time when it comes to sharing recipes. In some parts of North America it’s full-on spring, while in others there’s still snow on the ground. I’m acutely aware of this more after spending 4 years living in San Francisco, where the weather patterns don’t seem to match up with anywhere else in the world. It also means that you’re going to get spring recipes like this lemon poppyseed loaf mixed with warm and comforting soup and chili recipes like this Instant Pot White Chicken Chili. This white chicken…
