The first time I sexted with someone, it was with my long-distance ex. He lived out of state, so we would text each other all day long and eventually all night, too. I mean, there's only so long you can have a long-distance romance before things start getting... well... let's call it... textual in nature. It started innocently enough, with me thinking of flirty texts to send to him, and before I knew it, things were getting really hot.

As someone who is pretty shy about dirty talk, I never imagined I was a sexter. My first foray into font-based freakiness was a bit intimidating for, like, two minutes, and then it was on. It turns out sexting with someone is actually easy, super fun, and hot. We had a great time that night, and many nights after. I highly recommend it. There's something about the safety of being behind that screen that really allowed me to let my freak flag fly. And it even turned out to be a really empowering experience that helped me get even more comfortable with my sexual side. Also, orgasms. Just sayin'.

So, what do you do if you're texting with someone you're into and you start getting turned on? Allow me to assist you. Here are 30 sexy text ideas to help steer that PG convo into XXX territory, fast.

1. Too bad youre not here right now.

2. FYI: I just got out of the shower.

6. BTW Im naked right now.

7. Nothing turns me on more than thinking about you.

25. I'm so turned on... wanna help me come?

26. I love to imagine you touching yourself.

27. What are you doing? I'm sitting here imagining you, me, and another ... "friend."

28. I just cant stop thinking about your [body part] in my mouth.

29. I wish you were inside me, RN.

30. I had a dream where you made me your sex slave, and it was hot AF.

See, sexting is not so scary after all! If you have any better sext ideas, I'm always looking for new material. Leave 'em in the comments.

Does Kevin Get Married Again On 'This Is Us'? Let's Break It Down

This Is Us threw a major spanner into the works with Season 4 when it finally revealed how Kevin and Sophie got married. Viewers always knew it happened relatively early on, but most assumed the answer was "after college" and their divorce followed a few years later. Instead, the series revealed Kevin and Sophie got married freshman year when Kevin was still desperately searching for something to hold onto in the wake of his father's death. But the focus on that has fans asking, does Kevin get married again on This Is Us?

It's a good question. In the future, Kevin has been revealed to own a big house in California, and has a son, who looks to be about 10 or so. Though there's no wife to be seen, fans assume he got married at least for a while, to have the kid. But when? And to who?

Since the reveal of Jack's passing, these forays into the past, like Kevin's first marriage, have changed. Where once they were standalone stories, now they function as commentary on the present. As Randall and Beth struggle to let their daughters grow up, the flashbacks are to Jack and Rebecca when they had to do the same a generation ago. As Deja brings around a boy her parents don't approve of, the flashbacks show when Beth brought around Randall, who her mother was certain was all wrong as well.

This Is Us on YouTube

And as Kevin tries to support Cassidy in her struggle to face her husband's demand for a divorce, the flashbacks take viewers to... when Kevin got married?

One might argue that since fans already know Kevin and Sophie's marriage is doomed, this flashback to the beginning is merely preamble, leading up to Kevin's divorce mirroring Cassidy's. But This Is Us isn't always so on the nose. Instead, fans are starting to suspect the reason the show is flashing back to Kevin's first marriage is that this is a lead up to his second.

That's not to say that Kevin is marrying Cassidy. At this time, there is little evidence that's going to happen. The two of them have their alcoholism in common and their recovery. But Cassidy wants to stay with her husband. She just doesn't know how. And Kevin's aim right now is not to romance Cassidy, but to help her stay married.

Now, some fans believe that Cassidy is "the one," and she and Kevin will be together by the end of Season 4. But right now it's not looking too likely. Note in this promo picture for Season 4 Episode 5, Kevin is hanging out with Cassidy's husband. That's not the move of a man who's thinking about marrying her.

But there is someone who could be waiting for Kevin once he's ready to worry about his own life instead of Cassidy's: Madison. Kevin wound up hooking up with Zoe after Kate's wedding at the end of Season 2, but Madison was just as taken with him. Some fans haven't forgotten this. Could there be a chance that once Cassidy helps Kevin get his head on straight, he heads back to California and realizes Madison's the one?

Taco Bell's Baja Blast Birthday Freeze Is An Instagram-Worthy Celebration

Remember hearing about all of the Taco Bell fare that was released exclusively at the Taco Bell Hotel this past summer? The limited-time resort experience was one that many were envious of. Obviously, there was limited availability and the hotel pop-up in Palm Springs sold out in minutes. Well, even if you missed out on the resort and its amazing Taco Bell food creations, you may be able to make up for it very soon, since Taco Bell's Baja Blast Birthday Freeze is coming to locations nationwide.

Back in August 2019, a Taco Bell pop-up resort called The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel & Resort, opened its doors in Palm Springs. Those who were lucky enough to get a reservation were able to taste some Taco Bell food and drink items that made everyone envious, like the new celebratory take on the OG Mountain Dew Baja Blast. The special drink was released to mark 15 years of the Baja Blast. Apparently, it is just like the original version, but it also has colorful candy confetti pieces.

Thankfully, Taco Bell still wants to celebrate 15 years of the Baja Blast, and the company wants to do it at a Taco Bell near you. On the official menu, the Baja Blast Birthday Freeze is *gasp* listed and available. I even went as far to check my location, just to see if I could run down the street and buy one when I'm off work. Well, it's true. Plain as day, this special, limited-edition drink is on Taco Bell's menu. It's so Instagrammable, it's not even funny.

According to a Taco Bell representative, the Baja Blast Birthday Freeze is available for a limited time as of Thursday, Oct. 17. You can find the Baja Blast Birthday Freeze in both a regular and a large size, with the regular is selling for $2.49 and the large starting at $2.79. Keep in mind prices may vary based on your location. For example, my location listed the large for $2.69. Looking for a deal? You can also score one of these for $1 during the daily Taco Bell Happy Hour from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m.

The official item description for the Baja Blast Birthday Freeze lets you know you can expect the OG flavor of the Baja Blast Freeze with "candies sprinkled throughout the icy deliciousness." Sounds like as good of a birthday celebration as any.

Taco Bell has been up to some other cool endeavors besides bringing you the Baja Birthday Blast that was last seen at the Taco Bell Hotel. The company just announced Oct. 16 that its teaming up with Xbox to do a fun giveaway. According to Taco Bell's official press release, if you order a Taco Bell Double Chalupa Box starting on Oct. 17, you will have the chance to win an Xbox One X Eclipse Limited Edition Bundle, which comes with Taco Bell's ring sound at startup, a new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and a six-month Game Pass Ultimate Membership. And according to the release, a Taco Bell fan will win one of these approximately every 10 minutes from Oct. 17 through Nov. 23.

You can also get an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership for two weeks if you order the Double Chalupa box online or with the Taco Bell app which means anyone who does this will automatically get one, until supplies run out. Sounds like a good excuse to start eating those chalupas, right? Not that you need one.

Right now, though, I'm a little more concerned with how long the Taco Bell Baja Blast Birthday Freeze will be available at Taco Bell. It just says "ultra" limited edition, which means it won't be here forever. My advice: grab one ASAP.

What Tati Beauty Products Will Tati Westbrook Drop? Here's What To Know

Ever since yesterday's big announcement, all anyone in the beauty community has been able to talk about is Tati Westbrook's all-new beauty brand and its coming-soon announcement. The brand's first product has been announced, but many are already wondering what other Tati Beauty products Tati Westbrook will drop, and as a longtime subscriber, I'm quite curious myself. Westbrook is known for having high standards when it comes to makeup performance, so I already feel confident that her cosmetics line will be bomb, and because of this, I'm hoping there's more than one palette to snag come launch day. I need a Tati-approved concealer! A mascara that gives me Tati-like lashes! And above all, I need a Tati-inspired lip kit, because girl can rock a nude lip like nobody's business.

If you love beauty but aren't all that into YouTube, you're probably a little confused to hear everyone getting so excited, especially since influencer-led businesses are more or less a dime a dozen these days. Unlike lots of beauty gurus, though, Westbrook has never been one to take on a random partnership or release a random collaboration on a whim; she's always said she would never release color cosmetics just for the sake of it.

However, it appears she's finally finished creating products she feels the beauty community needs, and believe me when I say it, we're all ready for Tati Beauty:

Woo! Launching October 25 at 10AM PST, the brand will debut its very first product on the Tati Beauty website, a 24-pan neutral eyeshadow palette containing what appears to be glitter, shimmer, matte, and metallic formulas.

It's called the Textured Neutrals Vol. 1 Palette, and it couldn't be more beautiful:

So far, Textured Neutrals is all that's been announced, and I can't help but wonder if there will be more than one product in the first launch. The "Vol. 1" tacked on the palette name definitely has me curious will there be more than one version of Textured Neutrals in the first drop? Will there be a Textured Bolds, or something similarly named with more viberant, colorful shades? Or will future ~volumes~ be released in later collections? Since announcing the brand, Westbrook has yet to spill any real tea, so for now, all I can do is wonder.

She did take to her Instagram Stories to thank her fans for all their positive words:

"The feedback has been unreal," admitted Westbrook, "Like, I did not think it would be this good. I actually was kind of like was braving for the storm, and waiting for the worst." She went on to profess how genuinely happy she is with the brand direction so far. "I know what I'm creating is top notch. I have such a clear vision for what I'm doing," she insisted, especially when it came to the Textured Neutrals palette. "The formulas are so smooth, so good," she raved. I can't wait to try them out for myself! if you feel the same, be sure to check out the Tati Beauty site on October 25.

15 Smooth Pickup Lines For Dating App Matches That'll Get Replies

$

One of the toughest parts of the dating game is keeping the apps feeling fresh. It's difficult to come up with smooth pickup lines for dating app matches that would actually get replies. Luckily for you and I both, I was on the apps for long enough that I managed to master the art. And now I feel as though it's my duty to you, dear reader, to share some of my best pieces of wisdom.

The trick to crafting an absolutely perfect opening message on a dating app is to understand first what you're looking for with this experience. Some pickup lines work extremely well if you're trying to just hook up with someone. Others are great if you're trying to just start a conversation and see where it goes. Then, finally, there are the ones that could lead you towards something a little more substantial they're relationship-material and shouldn't be deployed unless you're open to a potentially deep connection. No matter what you're looking for, I have got you totally and completely covered, my friend. Charge your phone before you read these because it's about to start blowing up. Ready?

,

If you're looking to get to know them better...

OK, let's say you're attracted to this person but you're not getting a whole lot of intel on who they are based on the two grainy group pics from college and the empty bio that comprise their entire profile. You'd like to get a better sense of who this person is before you commit to spending (at least!) an hour of your life hanging out with them IRL, so I'd suggest you initiate a conversation with one of the following questions to give you some more intel on their personality:

1. "Ready for a game of 'F*ck, Marry, Kill?'" Games are a great, light-hearted way to get to know someone a little better.

2. "It's Friday and you just got off work after a long week. What's next?" This question can be a huge character tell and, honestly, a great way to weed out people who may not be a great match for you right off the bat. If you're a super social person, you're probably not going to do well in a relationship with someone who wants to spend the weekend in their apartment binge-watching shows alone. Might as well get it all out there from the start.

3. "If you could quit your job and do anything with your life, what would your next move be?" This is a great way to tap into someone's dreams to see if they at all align with yours. Your dreams, of course, don't have to be the same but it's a great way to see what the person is truly passionate about.

4. "What would you do if you won the lottery?" This question helps you get to know the person on so many levels. First, you get to see how they handle money (are they savers or spenders?). Second, you get to see what they choose to spend their money on, which can offer you some pretty great insight on what their values are.

5. "Where was that third pic taken? It looks amazing." Asking about your match's adventures is a surefire way to get them talking.

If youre looking for a quick hookup

Let's say you want some no-strings-attached fun. You're not looking for anything serious, you just want to get laid. Or, at the very least, get a solid make-out sesh in. Your best mode of operation here is to be as up front as possible with one of these straight-forward messages:

1. "You're hot." This is not the sort of message you send someone when you're trying to build a lasting, meaningful relationship. It's saying you're only interested in one thing about them and it largely has to do with appearances. But it's also making your intention clear while also flattering them. Win, win.

2. "So, what are you looking for on here?" Rather than blurting out, "Are you DTF?" this opening line puts the ball in your match's court. It implies that you're pretty direct and have a goal in mind. If you want your hookups delivered almost as quickly as your Seamless orders, this line could be a winner for you.

3. "You wanna come over and not watch a movie?" This is funny but it also makes it clear that you're not just trying to, like, go on a date.

4. "I'd love to kiss your lips." Kinda sweet, no?

5. "Hey sexy." This strikes up a conversation with your mutual physical attraction right at the top. Warning: It might get steamy.

If youre looking for something more substantial

Whether it's because you've just never been a casual dater or because you've casually dated so much that you've finally hit your limit, the fact of the matter is you're no longer looking for something light and easy. You're officially now only interested in finding the real deal and you can find partners who are also interested in finding that by sending the following messages:

1. "What's your schedule looking like this week? You seem like someone I'd want to hang with IRL." First of all, hanging out IRL is no easy feat these days so that's impressive. Second, this message is cutting to the chase. It's not dilly-dallying and it's not getting you in the dreaded text loop where the two of you chat for weeks on end but never ask each other out. If the person is down, you'll go on a date. If not, you'll move forward without having wasted your time.

2. "You free [day of the week you have something going on with friends]? I'm going to this [event] and would love a date if you're down!" If this person is going to be a serious partner, you're going to have to make sure they're able to keep up with your friends and family. So why not throw them in the line of fire right off the bat? Invite them to an event you have going on and see how they react. If they're down to tag along and act as a great date, you may have just found yourself a great potential partner.

3. "I'm looking for something serious, does that at all interest you?" If you're looking for something serious, it's important that you're only talking to people who are also looking for something serious. One of the best ways to do that is by just asking right off the bat. If someone doesn't respond, avoids the question, or just blatantly responds that they want something casual, then you can move on with minimal time wasted.

4. "It's this exact day in the year 2045. What are you up to?" A huge part of being in a serious relationship is having similar goals and values. There's no quicker way to find out what a person's goals and values are than asking them what their life is going to look like almost 25 years from now. Are they married? Do they have kids? Do they think they're going to be dead because the world is ending? Get a feel for whether or not they're worthy of a substantial relationship by asking this question.

5. "Favorite Netflix show? GO." I mean, let's face it. If you wind up dating this person, a lot of what the two of you will be doing together is lounging on the couch watching shows. So why not make sure you're into the same stuff right off the bat?

OK, now go forth and swipe!

A 'Clueless' Drama Series Is Coming & I'm Totally Buggin'

$

It was inevitable that TV would get around to remaking content from late 1990s eventually. After spending time digging around in the 1980s with reboots of Heathers and Murphy Brown, the newest TV series on the market is inspired by the 1995 hit, Clueless. CBS TV Studios is following the model set by Heathers and changing up the original story to fit in with these changed 21st century times. Instead of a comedy, a Clueless drama series is coming, and Cher is nowhere to be found.

Much like Riverdale, the new Clueless is going dark and mysterious. Instead of a story focused around Cher, she is now the Twin Peaks-ish Laura Palmer missing girl of this dark and gritty Clueless story. Instead, the story focuses on Dionne, who was played by Stacey Dash back in the day. With Cher gone, she's the new head of the school, but at what cost?

Dionne may have the power, but that power is also what she'll use to find out what happened to her best friend. So it's a little bit Clueless, a little bit Veronica Mars, and a whole lot of teen soap opera drama. No wonder the CW has expressed interest, along with several high profile streaming services.

MOVIE CLIPS on YouTube

This new Clueless is also being updated for the 2020s. According to Deadline, which broke the news:

Written by Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey (Will & Grace), the new Clueless a Mean Girls meets Riverdale meets a Lizzo music video is also set in high school. It is described as a baby pink and bisexual blue-tinted, tiny sunglasses-wearing, oat milk latte and Adderall-fueled look at what happens when the high school Queen Bee (Cher) disappears and her life-long number two (Dionne) steps into Chers vacant Air Jordans. How does Dionne deal with the pressures of being the new most popular girl in school, while also unraveling the mystery of what happened to her best friend, all in a setting that is uniquely 2020 LA?
Movieclips on YouTube

It's not clear as of yet who will pick up Clueless for airing. CBS TV Studios is one of the leading suppliers for the CW, and a reboot like this would, by rights, almost certainly be headed there, all things being equal. But the fact is, the streaming wars for content have begun in earnest, and CW style shows are winding up being snapped up by deep-pocketed streamers. Something like the Grease reboot Rydell High is going to HBO Max, Dickinson is over at Apple TV+, and even Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which was developed with the idea of going to the CW to pair with Riverdale, is on Netflix. Where Clueless will land is anyone's guess.

Also, there's no cast as of yet, which means fans will start speculating wildly over who might play Dionne and her 2020 era crew, as well as who might play the missing Cher. As for Stacey Dash or Alicia Silverstone, cameo roles are probably available if they want them. It just might be awkward if Paul Rudd shows up since he famously hasn't aged a day between then and now.

Clueless is expected to turn up somewhere on TV in the early 2020s.


Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse Is On Airbnb For The Experience Of A Lifetime

I remember playing with my Barbie doll like it was yesterday. And now, Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse is on Airbnb, giving fans like me and you a chance to live out those fantasies IRL. You may have never imagined you'd be able to check into the Malibu Dreamhouse and experience the luxurious lounge chairs and brightly colored patios for yourself. But you can actually stay at this stunning oceanfront home on the coast of California.

You might be thinking about what you're going to wear, or the kinds of pics you can take poolside. Personally, I'm wondering what it's like to slip down the slide on the side of the house in the morning and dance with my besties under the palm trees. Does it feel like a commercial for Barbie or the scenarios I used to put my plastic dolls in on Saturday afternoons? I sure hope so. The only way to find out is to leap into the dreamy world of this fashionable and entrepreneurial woman who recently added "Airbnb host" to her lengthy resum.

First things first: Staying at this home is very exclusive. Barbie is only listing her Dreamhouse on Airbnb for a one-time, two-night stay, for four guests who are looking to walk in her fabulous shoes. The listing will be available for booking on Oct. 23, 2019 at 11 a.m. PDT.

The two-night stay will take place soon after from Sunday, Oct. 27 to Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019. During that time, you'll be treated to entertainment, special guest visits, and amenities. You'll be able to swim in the infinity pool that has gorgeous views, and relax in the personal cinema or hobby studio when you need a break from all the fun and games. You can also check out Barbie's walk-in closet where she keeps her chic clothes, and gaze at the gallery wall that showcases this women's incredible accomplishments.

When the sun begins to set, you may enjoy a tasty meal on the dining patio or in the fully stocked kitchen. You might laugh with your besties and think about how lucky you are to have scored this experience. (The press release does note that the waterslide won't be on site.)

Within the two days, the press release also states you'll have a meet-and-greet with Jen Atkin and hairstylists from Mane Addicts Creator Collective who will give you a total hair makeover. You'll try your hand at fencing and take a one-on-one lesson with fencing medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad. You and your besties will learn how to cook during an interactive lesson with Gina Clarke-Helm of Malibu Seaside Chef. In addition, you'll leave the Dreamhouse grounds for a behind-the-scenes tour of Columbia Memorial Space Center, led by Jill Meyers, a pilot and aerospace engineer.

The best part? Everything will only cost you $60 per night (plus taxes and fees), thanks to Barbie and her celebration of her 60th anniversary. For $60, you get to jam to a giant stereo on the patio of Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse, sleep in a bedroom that's worthy of a catalogue, and check items off your bucket list that might've not even been on the list in the first place.

The only thing you need to do is make sure you're on Airbnb on Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. PDT so you can snag the reservation. But before then, get a sneak peek into the entire home and read more about what you can expect on Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse Airbnb listing. She notes that this exclusive stay isn't a contest, but I'm still sending lots of luck your way.

At this point, you probably have a pretty good idea of what you're going to be for Halloween, and you might have even turned to pop culture for some inspiration because of all of the awesome ideas that have surfaced throughout 2019. But if you're a procrastinator, or you simply haven't had the time to think it through yet, why not look to astrology for all the answers on what to dress up as on Oct. 31? Yeah, you heard me: You can totally figure out the best pop culture Halloween costume, based on your zodiac sign and your own personalized, quirky traits. Trust me, your costume is going to be so relevant and on point, even the people who go aggressively hard on all things Halloween every single year will be jealous.

Your zodiac sign can reveal a ton of cool things about your personality, and TBH, I don't know why it's not used more often in the brainstorming process for Halloween costumes. Don't you dare cop out and go as a black cat for the fourth year in a row. I know you can do better.

Whether you want to DIY your pop culture Halloween costume, or pick something up from the party store, the stars are here to help you narrow down your options. Here's the best pop culture Halloween costume for you, based on your zodiac sign.

Aries: Carol Danvers From Captain Marvel

If youre an Aries, you were basically born to be a superhero for Halloween. Take Carol Danvers from Captain Marvel, for example. Shes passionate, strong, and never backs down from a fight. She may even be a little bit impulsive. Does that sound like an Aries, or what?

Taurus: Ariana Grande In Her "Thank U, Next" Music Video

Luxury might as well be your middle name, Taurus. What better way to celebrate your Venusian qualities than by being Ariana Grande in her Thank U, Next music video for Halloween? Like any good fashionista, this costume gives you plenty of options. You could emulate her take on Mean Girls Regina George or Jennifer Garners character from 13 Going on 30. Even dressing up like Ariana with her classic high ponytail and hot pink leggings is more than enough of a statement.

Gemini: Fleabag From Fleabag

Youre sarcastic, cheeky, and hilarious, Gemini, so if you havent been binge-watching Fleabag, you better get on that immediately. In fact, embodying Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character for Halloween would be ridiculously fun for you. All youd need is a jumpsuit, a striped shirt, and maybe even a wig. Then you have an excuse for being a jokester all night long.

Cancer: Jasmine From Aladdin

Youre inherently nostalgic, Cancer. Its what makes you such a deep feeler and so connected to your inner child. I bet Disneys live-action rendition of Aladdin left you dreaming about the good ol days. Why not keep the whimsical spirit of childhood alive and be Princess Jasmine for Halloween?

Leo: Jennifer Lopez Reinventing Her Infamous Green Dress At Milan Fashion Weeks Versace Show

Youre the definition of iconic, Leo. No matter what, you cant help but attract attention and admiration. J.Lo is no different. Her reprisal of the show-stopping green Versace dress she wore at the 2000 Grammys is a perfect example of that. Youll have everyone doing a double take at the Halloween party in this costume.

Virgo: Molly, Amy, Or Gigi From Booksmart

When you see a movie, you cant help but notice every little detail and analyze every single line. Thats just the nature of being a Virgo. So when you saw Booksmart, I bet you were mesmerized by how ridiculously clever and memorable its was. Why not bring some of that energy into your Halloween costume? You could be Amy with her signature beret, Molly with her classic mustard turtleneck, or even Gigi with her little tiara. Why not enlist the whole gang to be part of this costume idea?

Libra: Hannah B. From The Bachelorette

Theres a reason cuffing season coincides with your birthday, Libra. Youre a hopeless romantic through and through, so dressing up as Hannah B. from The Bachelorette is beyond fitting. There are countless Bachelor-inspired costume ideas to choose from, and theres no way people wont find this look totally relevant.

Scorpio: Robin or Eleven From Stranger Things

Youre smoldering with a deep and mysterious power, Scorpio. No one ever really knows what youre thinking, but they can see the passion behind your eyes. Doesnt this sound like Eleven from Stranger Things? I cant think of a zodiac sign more suited to this costume than you are. But shes not the only character from this legendary show you could be for Halloween. Robins Scoops Ahoy uniform is also completely on point.

Sagittarius: Ashley O from Black Mirror

All a Sagittarius really wants is the freedom to do whatever they want. Ashley O from Black Mirror can totally relate. Why not embody that sentiment by making this Miley Cyrus characters high-tech, futuristic look your Halloween costume? Hello, it gives you an excuse to wear a bubblegum pink wig and sing your heart out. You know the Hannah Montana alum would be proud.

Capricorn: E-Girl

Youre refined, put together, and image-oriented, Capricorn. Own those facts, and dress to the nines at the next Halloween party. Its in your nature. In fact, your costume always has a touch of irony to it, which is why dressing up as an E-Girl gives you the chance to combine commentary on social media with a totally aesthetic-forward look. Youll have so many new followers by the time Halloween is over.

Aquarius: White Claw

You cant help but be something totally and utterly ridiculous for Halloween, Aquarius. Thats just your quirky, wacky, and off-the-wall nature. Since everyones so obsessed with White Claw Hard Seltzer these days, why wouldnt they be obsessed with your White Claw costume? Summer may be over, but theres no way people wont be talking about your costume for years to come.

Pisces: Rue or Jules From Euphoria

Theres such a dreamlike and magical quality to the latest HBO series Euphoria. This makes you the perfect candidate for being Rue or Jules for Halloween. Youre always searching for something a little more interesting than reality, Pisces. Why not glam yourself up with some sparkles and rhinestones before donning a pair of angel wings? You know youre into the idea.

The 'Overheard Post' From @OverheardNewYork Is Not Your Mother's Newspaper

There's a good chance you're familiar with @OverheardNewYork, the Instagram account that posts hilarious conversations overheard in the streets of the city. They're usually hilariously relatable, especially the more embarrassing ones. While you might be used to only seeing it as you scroll through your feed, you might be surprised to hear the brand released a new print edition. That's right, you can no open up the Overheard Post from @OverheardNewYork, which is a physical publication that is definitely not your mother's newspaper. The Overheard Post is a humorous take on the the classic daily periodical, and it might just be one of the funniest newspapers you'll ever read.

According to a media release from the company, New Yorkers can stop by the Overheard Newsstand on Thursday, Oct. 17 and Friday, Oct. 18 to check out the famous Instagram account's all new newsstand in Union Square. Once you're there, you'll be able to pick up the premiere issue of Overheard Post created by the @OverheardNewYork Instagram account. It'll be open form 8 a.m. up until as 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 17 and 18 only, so be sure you make the time to drop by. If you haven't seen the @OverheardNewYork account with its 1.2 million followers, go check it out before you stop by the Overheard Newsstand to catch the first-ever newspaper edition. Imagine the best and the worst of millennial culture in a big city, and that's what you can expect when you flip through the pages of the Overheard Post.

When you stop by the newsstand on Oct. 17 or Oct. 18, you'll be able to pick up your free copy of the Overheard Post, plus you can score some free coffee. According to an Overheard rep, there will also be Overheard swag available, and the newsstand will offer special giveaways, which may include some items from the Overheard Post's partners: Le Labo fragrances, La Colombe coffee, PLUS Products, Health-Ade, Ritual, and Sweetgreen. Not to mention how utterly great this looks for the 'Gram. What can you expect inside? Well, per the brand you'll read:

  • A Millennial weather report that will fill you in on the "Earth's 'current mood.'" Some of the LOL-worthy examples of the "mood" include "cloudy with a chance of seeing three people become engaged."
  • Horoscopes that will let you know Mercury is (thankfully) no longer in Retrograde. The Overheard horoscopes will give you the "real deal" on your sign. If you can't grab the paper, you can also call 917-905-7071, which will apparently give you more horoscope info and advice, according to a copy of the paper dropped off at Elite Daily.
  • Subway Chronicles that will make you laugh while likely taking one of NYC's many subway lines.
  • Neighborhood to-do lists. A couple fun snippets from the Williamsburg to-do list includes "invoicing parents for ... rent/CitiBikes" and "making kombucha for a neighborhood squirrel."

If you aren't able to make it though, if you're near local hotspots like Moxie hotels, Bonberi, Freehold Brooklyn, and The Wing throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn you can still pick up a free copy of the new print edition of Overheard Post while supplies last during the month of October.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? @OverheardNewYork sprung out of the success of the Instagram account @OverheardLA. According to an Elite Daily Interview, founder Jesse Margolis said he was at an LA health food store in 2015 and heard "these two women having the most absurd conversation in history and I posted that on my personal account, and I noticed that instead of getting 14 likes, it got 30 likes." The @OverheardLA account now has over one million followers since its creation. Talk about a success story. Millennials truly say some golden nuggets, as well as some pretty ridiculous things.

Obviously, @OverheardNewYork on Instagram is a huge success. Starting a real life newspaper (even if only for two days) seems like a logical creative step, and a totally unexpected one, too. If you're near Union Square, there's no reason why you shouldn't be stopping by to grab the first copy of the Overheard Post, all while sipping on some free coffee and getting a chance to grab a selfie at the fun pop-up newsstand. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for a small contribution to the cause, because without us millennials supporting @OverheardNewYork and the other various accounts, the Overheard brand probably wouldn't be releasing this gem of a newspaper.

10 Astrologically Incompatible Celebrity Couples Who Still Make It Work

Astrological compatibility isn't everything. Sometimes an earth sign and an air sign can fall head-over-heels for each other. Sometimes a fire sign and a water sign can live happily ever after. Zodiac signs can be pretty darn telling, but I'm a firm believer that true love can conquer all, and some of the most astrologically incompatible celebrity couples work to prove my theory. It's just a fact that there's astrological signs that are destined to butt heads. However, the stars don't know everything, and they certainly couldn't have predicted how well some of Hollywood's biggest stars would fare together.

From actors to singers to a former president and first lady, A-list relationships are rarely predictable. Fans can't know what a celeb couple is like behind closed doors, after all, so we have to rely on body language and public appearances to decide just how well a relationship appears to be going. As it turns out, not even astrology can always predict which Hollywood pairings will stand the test of time. A few astrological antagonists have survived not only the strain of fame, but total astrological incompatibility, and I'm pretty sure that makes these couples the real deal. Way to beat the odds, you guys.

,

Sarah Hyland & Wells Adams

Just a look at either of their Instagram pages will show you just how meant-to-be these two recently engaged lovebirds are, but Sarah Hyland (a Sagittarius) and Wells Adams (a Taurus) are actually as astrologically ill-suited for each other as you can get.

While a Taurus partner often prioritizes family and stability, a Sagittarius tends to favor traveling and exploring over staying in one place. Happy-go-lucky Sagittarians have no problem leaping before they look, and their unpredictability is almost always bound to irritate a fixed earth sign like Taurus. Luckily, Hyland and Adams seem to have found a balance in their very different (yet equally strong) personalities, as they got engaged in July.

Zoe Kravitz & Karl Glusman

Low-key couple Zo Kravitz and Karl Glusman quietly married back in June 2019, and though they tend to keep their relationship pretty private, it's no secret that their zodiac signs (Sagittarius for Kravitz and Capricorn for Glusman) are not the best match.

Just like Taurus, Capricorn is an earth sign, which makes those born under this sign known for their discipline and love of structure. These qualities contrast wildly with fancy-free air signs like Sagittarius, who like to go wherever the wind takes them. Like Taureans and Sagittarians, the biggest hurdle in a Taurus-Capricorn pairing usually has to do with intimacy and trust, but Kravitz and Glusman seem to have plenty of both in their relationship.

Chrissy Teigen & John Legend

Another celebrity Sagittarius and Capricorn pairing that makes it work: Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. Teigen, who is (unsurprisingly) a Sagittarius, is an odd match for Legend's Capricorn, but the love between these two is pretty legendary regardless.

Anyone with a Twitter account (or just access to the internet) knows that Teigen is never afraid to say what's on her mind. Legend is certainly the more cautious and soft-spoken of the two, but rather than get annoyed by Teigen's antics, he seems as endlessly amused by his wifey as the rest of the world.

Michelle Obama & Barack Obama

Barack and Michelle Obama may be the country's coolest power couple, but that doesn't mean their astrological signs are as great a match as these two appear to be. Barack is a Leo, while Michelle is a Capricorn, and while these signs are both full of passion and drive, they don't often share a common goal.

Leos aren't typically planners, and this fiery sign loves nothing more than to take action despite the potential risks. Capricorns, on the other hand, value carefully-laid plans above all else. Good-natured Leos aren't always likely to see eye-to-eye with a stern, serious Capricorn, but when these two work together, amazing things can happen.

JAY-Z & Beyonc

JAY-Z and Beyonc have had some bumps in the road during their long partnership, but their romance has clearly prevailed through it all, despite their astrological incompatibility. Bey is a Virgo, and Jay's a Sagittarius, and these two signs are far from an ideal match.

A Sagittarius likes to do what they want, when they want, where a Virgo is cautious and methodical, like their fellow earth signs Capricorn and Taurus. While both signs are known for their adaptability, the impulsivity of a Sagittarius is sure to annoy a careful Virgo (and vice versa). Despite this, it seems like these two are sticking together no matter what.

Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake may one of the sweetest pairs in Hollywood, but when it comes to their zodiac signs, they aren't fated to be as good a match as you might think. Despite having been together for over a decade, Biel is a Pisces and Timberlake is an Aquarius, which isn't usually the strongest zodiac pairing.

Air sign Aquarius tends to be distant and impersonal, while Pisceans (like all water signs) are basically overflowing with love and emotions. Pisceans usually get frustrated with reticent Aquarians, and that emotional distance can cause a lot of tension. Despite this, it doesn't appear as though there's any love lost between these two.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry

Though Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been married since May 2018 and are now proud parents to a son, their loved-up relationship is a strange one when you consider their astrological signs. You probably won't be surprised to learn that Markle is a Leo, where her princely hubby is a Virgo, and these two don't tend to mix.

Harry seems pretty fun-loving to me, but Virgos actually tend to be reserved, and they're certainly known for being more reserved than wildly gregarious Leos. However, it's possible that Virgos can help keep Leos grounded and Leos can convince Virgos to loosen up a bit, and that actually seems to be the case for these two.

David Beckham & Victoria Beckham

The Beckhams look for all the world like Hollywood's idea pairing, but where David is a Taurus and Victoria is an Aries, these two strong-willed and stubborn signs actually make for a pretty contentious match. What else would you expect when you put a bull and a ram together?

Aries are impulsive and blindly optimistic, while Taureans take things slow and steady and are known for their stability. A Taurus may be patient, but usually not patient enough for an excitable Aries. However, I'd like to think that sharing four kids and over 20 years of marriage speaks for itself.

Sophie Turner & Joe Jonas

I don't think anyone would argue that Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas seem like a match made in heaven, though their astrological compatibility (or lack thereof) tells a different story. Turner is a Pisces and Jonas is a Leo, and this water sign and fire sign tend to go together like... well, water and fire.

Pisces are total softies who wear their heart on their sleeve, where Leos tend to be guided more by reason than emotion. There two tend to have very different communication styles, which can make for a trying relationship, but they can certainly make things work with plenty of empathy and patience. Just a look at Turner's quotes about her bae will tell you that Jonas is always there for his Pisces wife.

Amal Clooney & George Clooney

No one could believe it when forever-bachelor George Clooney decided to tie the knot with Amal, and the pairing is even more shocking when you consider their zodiac signs. George is a Taurus, while his lawyer wife is an Aquarius, and like most earth sign and air sign pairings, they're more than a bit mismatched.

A Taurus down-to-earth mindset is nothing like the always-unconventional approach of an Aquarius. Taureans also tend to resist change, while Aquarians are the most progressive of the zodiac. But if Amal managed to change George's mind about marriage, surely they can learn to move past their differences in other aspects of life as well.

Like I said, anything can happen in Hollywood romances, but I feel pretty confident that couples who defy astrological incompatibility can do just about anything.

One of the most classic costumes for Halloween is a vampire. It reminds people of the spookiness of the holiday, and can easily be put together with a cape, pair of fangs, and dark makeup.

In my opinion, there's no character more iconic than Mickey Mouse. You see those three circles and instantly know who it is. As a matter of fact, Mickey is a fashion icon who made it so cool to walk around with a pair of mouse ears on your head all day long. But out of all the Mickey-shaped things you can get at Disney, your absolute favorite might be the food. From savory pretzels to sweet beignets, food in the shape of Mickey Mouse is around every magical corner. And if you're a hardcore foodie like me, you'll need Mickey-shaped food captions for your delicious snaps.

Having to choose which Mickey-shaped treat is my favorite is far too difficult. That's why each Disney visit is a prime opportunity to try another fave. One day could be a Mickey-shaped ice cream kind of day, and the next could be a Mickey pretzel with cheese kind of day. I also would be mad at myself if I didn't give a notable shoutout to the cutest Mickey-shaped treat ever: Mickey waffles. There are also beignets in New Orleans Square, and Rice Krispie Treats you can find at any of the bakeries.

Of course, for a snack that cute, you'll need to take a picture of it before your first bite. When you're ready to post that pic on the 'Gram, pair it with any of these 25 Mickey-shaped foodie captions. They'll help you rake in all the likes for such an ear-resistible treat.

1. "If it's Mickey-shaped, I want to eat it."

If He’s Texting You Less Often, It Means One Of 3 Things For Your Relationship

$
0
0

Texting with your crush is the best, isn't it? Who doesn't crave that little thrill you get from seeing a message from them pop up on your screen and knowing that they are thinking of you and wanting to connect? So, it's no surprise that when the rate of those messages suddenly slows from a flood to drip, it's really easy to go from perfectly chill to full blown paranoid faster than you can type BRB. No one could blame you for thinking that, if they're texting you less often, it must mean they have lost interest. But the good news is that's not necessarily true.

The fact is, texting itself is an unreliable barometer of interest in a relationship. It can mean everything, but it could just as easily mean absolutely nothing. So, don't assume that because they went from texting you 75 times a day to, say, five, that it's time to go to relationship DEFCON 1. There are totally normal, non-panic-inducing reasons why you're hearing from them less and really only one to worry about.

How can you tell the difference when the sudden silence is loaded and when it's safe not to sweat it? Turns out, the subtext of texting behavior is pretty easy to interpret if you know what to look for.

1. You Have A Normal, Healthy Relationship

Let's be honest, shall we? Maintaining the sheer volume and furious pace of texting of a new romance is just not sustainable long-term. In the infatuation stage, it's normal to 'not get enough of each other.' Once that fades, couples get into a more realistic routine. You're not as obsessed with knowing everything about each other, Anita Chlipala, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of First Comes Us: The Busy Couple's Guide to Lasting Love, tells Elite Daily.

While this early phase can be really exciting, it's OK and normal for things to slow down over time as you get into a natural routine, Brenda Della Casa, a relationship coach and author of Cinderella Was A Liar, tells Elite Daily. Its important to look at the overall patterns. Texting less often during work hours is different than not texting at all during a 24-hour period. If someone goes from hourly texting to daily texting, thats one thing. Hourly texting to ghosting you 48 hours is very different, she explains.

So, if texting has slowed over time, ask yourself, are you communicating in other ways? Are they showing you love IRL? If so, then the slowdown in their texting is nothing more than the usual ebb and flow inherent in all areas of a comfortable and secure relationship.

2. Their Life Got Busier

Before you hit the panic button, take a beat. Ask yourself, did they recently mention a big project coming up at work? Did they get a new job? Is it finals week? Do they have family in town?

Considering how your partner is behaving in other areas of the relationship can help clarify things, as Diana Dorell, intuitive dating coach and author of The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again, tells Elite Daily. Do they act differently when you see them? Have they stopped making time to see you and spend time with you? If not, then it could be that they are making an effort to be on their phone less so they can focus on their work during the day, she says.

As important as you are to your partner, there will be a time when life gets in the way of texting. These are all totally reasonable reasons why they can't reply as quickly or as eloquently as they have in the past. "Ideally your partner will let you know that they are busy and it has nothing to do with you, adds Chlipala. But this level of transparency doesn't always happen. So, when in doubt, open the lines of combination yourself and talk to your partner about whats going on.

3. Its A Sign Of Potential Issues In The Relationship.

We cant talk about changes in texting behavior without touching on the reason we all dread: They're pulling away. Yes, it is possible the lack of texting is an indication that they've lost some of that loving feeling. Perhaps things were getting too serious and they are trying to cool things down, says Della Casa. Its not uncommon for people to slow things down in the middle of a courtship if they feel things are moving too fast or they want to be sure they are ready to take a relationship to the next level, she explains.

When you think your relationship might be ending its easy to spiral, but take a deep breath. Sure, its a possibility, dont leap to that conclusion right away, advises Chlipala. If you find that they are consistent in other areas, such as planning dates and including you in their life, you probably don't have anything to worry about, she says. So if they pulled the 180 without an explanation, definitely bring it up gently. Mention that you have noticed a decrease in communication and you're wondering if something is going on that you're not aware of. If they say that everything is fine, this is the time to speak up for what you want.

However, if the slowed texting is part of a larger trend, then there may be a cause for concern, warns Della Casa. If theyre cancelling dates and texting less, theyre likely pulling away or exploring their options, she says. But again, the only real way to know whats happening is to talk to your partner about it. The best thing you can do to get information is to ask for it. Clear and transparent communication is required for any healthy relationship to grow so simply ask how they are feeling and say that youve noticed a few changes in patterns and whether that means they are more comfortable or having some questions about the relationship. Wondering where you stand is not something to be ashamed of, Della Casa stresses.

While the possibility that slowdowns in texting behavior can be a sign of a relationship in decline, the real takeaway here is that there are more reasons that it isnt a negative sign than there are reasons to be concerned. The key, as the experts say, is that if you're concerned go straight to the source and talk to your partner about how you are feeling. Sometimes, the best solution is the simplest one.


40 New Products On Amazon Skyrocketing In Popularity

I tend to march to the beat of my own drum. That is, I enjoy going off the beaten path to find unique products that most people don't typically have. That trait really comes in handy when I'm seeking out new products available on Amazon because the odd finds littered throughout the rest of the web always seem to end in a lot of returns.

And that's why I'm finally getting around to buying all the products skyrocketing in popularity on Amazon. They're surefire winners and because they're reviewer-backed, the oddness of some of the products doesn't deter me. So whether I'm talking about a sturdy bamboo bath mat that turns any shower into a spa or an eyeliner stamp that gives your eyes perfect wings, I've finally accepted that Amazon is the only place to shop for unusual, surprising finds.

Besides, not only do they make returns incredibly easy (not that you'll need to return anything), but their robust customer review section makes it easy to stick with fabulous finds instead of dreadful duds. Frankly, I'm a little embarrassed I've wasted so much time shopping elsewhere especially when there are so many fascinating products on Amazon to choose from.

1. The Bamboo Mat That Turns Any Shower Into A Spa

Where To Get The ColourPop Bye Bye Birdie Collection For Plummy Fall Glam

Just when you think you've got all the eyeshadow palettes you could ever need, cue ColourPop Cosmetics with yet another irresistible launch. If you've seen the brand's latest posts on social media, you're probably wondering where to get the ColourPop Bye Bye Birdie Collection, complete with fab falsies, nail polish strips, and one of the brand's most beautiful palettes to date, hands down. If you were hoping the collection was inspired by the Broadway musical of the same name, I hate to break it to you, but it's not that said, it's damn good nonetheless, and I can almost guarantee you'll still want to shop it.

If you're still trying to find out how this collection got its name, girl, same here, but now that I've seen how pretty it is, I'm willing to overlook the seeming randomness. Based on the products' packaging, the color story appears to be inspired by pink peacock feathers, which is a fun, unique color scheme for fall. Typically, autumn sees a lot of orangey neutral palettes mimicking the colors of changing leaves, so I'm all about a berry pink mood to spice things up. Well done, ColourPop!

In addition to the staples, like eyeshadows and lipsticks, this collection has some surprising additions, from false eyelashes to nail polish strips:

Let's start with the crowd-pleaser, though. The Bye Bye Birdie Pressed Powder Palette:

Retailing for $18, this 12-pan palette features a varity of pinky shades from soft blush to bold magenta:

These aren't the only shadows in the mix, though. There's also four new Jelly Much Shadows to fall in love with:

Excuse me while I swoon. "Early Birdie" is a metallic gold with pink glitter, "Hoot N Holler" is a metallic rose gold with silver glitter, "On The Fly" is a duochrome magenta with a blue flip, and "Fly The Coop" is a metallic plum with multidimensional glitter.

The Jelly Much Shadows retail for just $8 a pop. Can you believe?

Also launching for the eyes are some plummy liner and lash options:

Liners include the $6 Creme Gel Liner and $7 Creme Gel Color, both in deep plum hue "Charmer." There's also a BFF Mascara in "Plum And Get It." Typically, I'm not a fan of colored mascara, but this seems like the perfect stepping stone shade, since it's still pretty dark.

Speaking of lashes, the line will also debut three new pairs of falsies:

At $8 a pop, "Baddie" is the boldest of them all, with "Doll" giving a lighter, more fanned-out look, and "Shorty" featuring smaller lashes towards the inner corner of the eye.

Moving right along, there will be new Blush Stix Duos, too:

At $14 a pair, "In A Twitter" is the more nude-y duo, with shades "Hen Party" and "Magpie," while "My Perch Or Yours" is more vibrant and pink, featuring shades "Aviary" and "Flycatcher."

TBH, I kinda want both sets. Is that so wrong?

And now, the lipsticks. There will be three new shades of the Ultra-Blotted Lip at $7 each:

Meet midtone pink "Cloud Chaser," soft plum "Ringleader," and deep nude "Starling." I can't get over the beautiful tones in this collection! Majorly gorg.

There's also two new Ultra-Glossy Lips at $7 apiece, in shades "Well-Nested" and "Menagerie":

Last and (Finally!) least are two sets of nail polish strips. At $7 each, one set contains the Peacock Accent + Ombre Glitter Nails:

While the other contains the Feather Gradient + Ombre Purple Nails:

Y'all, ColourPop really snapped with this one! To shop the entire massive Bye Bye Byrdie Collection, hit up the Colourpop website when it drops on October 18 at 10AM PST.

The 'Riverdale' Season 4 Episode 3 Promo Reveals A Deadly Task For Betty

If you thought Riverdale was going to ease its way back into its shenanigans after the break between seasons, you must not be too familiar with the show. The CW teen drama is off and running in its fourth season, with plotlines moving along at a breakneck pace. And as you can imagine, the Riverdale Season 4 Episode 3 promo only shows that the action has no chance of slowing down any time soon, so get ready for a wild ride.

Warning: Spoilers for Season 4 Episode 2 of Riverdale follow. After an equally heartwarming and heartbreaking season opener, which served as a standalone tribute to the late Luke Perry and his beloved character Fred Andrews, Episode 2 went right back to its dramatic ways. Archie and the rest of Riverdale High's students began the first day of school, but the normalcy of celebrating the start of senior year didn't last long. Archie got himself involved in Reggie's harrowing family drama, Veronica was hounded by press, and Jughead was recruited into a fancy prep school. But it's Betty whose storyline was the most gripping: After meeting her long-lost half-brother Charles at the end of Season 3, it was revealed in Season 4 Episode 2 that she had teamed up with him to bring down The Farm.

The new episode also revealed that while the new Betty-Charles team may be a formidable adversary, The Farm might have a few tricks up its sleeve as well. According to Kevin, who may or may not still be brainwashed, the elusive cult is hunkered down with weapons and prepared to fight anyone who tries to take them down. And while fans are still questioning exactly where Kevin's loyalty lies, the Episode 3 promo reveals he wasn't lying about this major detail.

TV Promos on YouTube

After a brief check-in with Archie, who appears to be acting as a vigilante again, the 30-second clip focuses on Betty confronting her Farm-devotee sister Polly. Unfortunately, Polly reveals she's wearing a literal bomb strapped to her chest, which Betty who is a high school senior, I must remind you attempts to diffuse, because that's apparently something she knows how to do.

Here's the full Season 4 Episode 3 synopsis, so you can prepare yourself for all the events to come:

Things take a dangerous turn when Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Charles (guest star Wyatt Nash) track down Edgar (guest star Chad Michael Murray) and his Farmies. Archie (KJ Apa) and Veronica (Camila Mendes) hold a car wash fundraiser at Pops to raise money for the community center. Elsewhere, Jugheads (Cole Sprouse) first day at Stonewall Prep doesnt go as planned. Lastly, Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) learns a dark family secret from Nana Rose.

Riverdale airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Kylie Jenner Played A "Rise & Shine" Remix For Stormi & She Was NOT Feeling It

Daddy's little girl is not here for Kylie Jenner's new internet hit "Rise and Shine." If you haven't heard, Jenner is basically a music sensation, winning over internet users everywhere. But she hasn't won over her own daughter. Kylie Jenner played a "Rise and Shine" remix for Stormi and she really was not here for it. So prepare to laugh even harder about this whole "Rise and Shine" viral moment.

OK, so let me first preface that the makeup mogul has not officially dropped a single, though her singing ability (or, lack thereof) is taking the internet by storm. It could be the next "Old Town Road."

On Oct. 10, Jenner posted a video of herself giving fans an exclusive tour of her Kylie Cosmetics headquarters and it's big, y'all. It even includes a playroom for Stormi. Upon entering the room, Jenner sang "rise and shine" a little (read: very) off-key to her already-awake daughter. Meme queens everywhere didn't miss a beat in seizing the opportunity to create a viral moment.

But really, it's all in good fun. The one-line tune has become a living meme and at this very moment, Jenner's Instagram bio. She even has a "Rise and Shine" remix on her phone and played it for Stormi.

On Oct. 17, Jenner shared an adorable video of her 20-month-old jamming to "Rise and Shine." Stormi sweetly bobbed up-and-down in a tie-dye tee while Jenner yelled in excitement, "Yesss. You like it?" Too bad that moment was hilariously cut short as Stormi answered back, "Daddy sings."

"No baby, that's mommy. Mommy's singing," Jenner told Stormi, who had clearly made up her mind and requested Travis Scott's music. "Daddy sings," she told her mom, again.

"Oh, you want Daddy singing? I'm not good enough," Jenner jokingly asked her daughter before the tiny tot started chanting "Daddy sings."

Honestly, the entire moment is too cute, and kudos to Jenner for being such a good sport about the whole situation. Since the video went viral, Jenner shared a "Rise and Shine" meme on her account with her face as a sun.

Numerous iterations of the initial YouTube video have also been made, including one that labeled Jenner as "Insomnia at 4 a.m." and replaced Stormi with Kim Kardashian from that awkward Yeezy ad. Yes, that meme lives on. Kardashian retweeted it with three crying laughing emojis.

Kardashian wasn't the only celeb to join in on the fun. Miley Cyrus took to her Twitter to share a version of the meme that featured Jenner as a contestant on The Voice and Cyrus, who was a former judge on the singing competition show, reacting to her performance. This is another one that'll have you in fits of giggles.

Ariana Grande isn't featured in any "Rise and Shine" memes (to my knowledge), but she's joined in on the fun the best way she knew how by jokingly asking to sample it.

Even if the one-line single isn't Stormi's top request, the rest of the world seems to be loving it. Any chance there's a Travis Scott collab coming soon?

38 Strange Finds On Amazon With Massive Followings

It's easy to see why some products gain a massive following pretty quickly things like wireless headphones, extra-comfortable sneakers, or plush travel pillows come to mind. But what about those other, lesser-known items? I'm talking about the absolute weirdest things on Amazon. Things like underarm sweat pads or detoxifying salt blocks. What makes these products rack up such enormous fan bases?

When you think about it, most of it comes down to basic utility the products actually work. Sure, they're a little quirky, but they do their job and they often solve tricky, infrequently discussed problems. For example, how your cereal gets soggy halfway through breakfast. Why not have a bowl that separates the milk and funnels your breakfast through a slide on the side? Or how about the little gap between the fridge and the cupboard that's so hard to clean? Why not use a small, bendable brush that fits perfectly into small crevices? It's no wonder these problem-solving items have so many fans.
