Let's be honest: Online shopping is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It allows you to get the same rush of scanning shelves and adding items to your cart (albeit virtually) but you don't have to get off your couch to do so. In other words, whether you're looking for classic home goods or quirky products on Amazon, the internet is your saving grace.

Of course, when it comes to online shopping, the trick is being able to verify how great a product really is while only being able to use your sense of sight (as opposed to touch and smell, which brick-and-mortar stores allow). The best way to do so is to scout products that are well-liked.

Since actually finding said products can be tricky, I've gone ahead and rounded up dozens of Amazon products that are a huge hit with reviewers. From Bluetooth speakers that double as lamps to flexible extension cords and Himalayan pink sea salt toothpaste, I have you covered. Below, you'll find more than a few things where you'll want to click "Add to Cart." And since they're some of the highest-rated products on Amazon, you won't have to second guess yourself and risk having buyer's remorse.

The One: Signs You've Found Your Life Partner

$
0
0

The quest to find our one true "person" is always on the forefront of our minds. It's almost impossible to escape the desire to find our soulmates when rom-coms are flooding our television screens, adorable couples are taking over our Instagram pages and most of our friends are getting engaged or married. Whenever I see couples who appear to be "head over heels" in love, I cant help but wonder: Are there any signs youve found your life partner that I should be looking out for?

According to Lesli Doares, couples consultant and marriage coach, its a little more complicated than you might think. There is no 'one' person, but more a 'perfect' type," Doares previously told Elite Daily. "This type can change over the course of your life because we don't stay the same over the years. Different attributes might be important at different times in our lives. 'The one' embodies as many of those attributes at one time as possible no one will meet them all."

As Doares explained, your one true love will contain multitudes and can affect your life in more ways than just one. The one wont just put a smile on your face and give you butterflies; theyll do that and much more.

1. They support you.

No matter how big your dreams are, the one will understand and support you. When youre up all hours of the night cramming for an exam or trying to meet a work deadline, theyll be right by your side, cheering you on, making your third pot of coffee, and rubbing your back when you need a break.

"A meaningful marker of a relationship's health is observing what it brings out in you and in your life," Dr. Rebekah Montgomery, a clinical psychologist specializing in relationships and helping couples prepare for marriage, previously told Elite Daily. "When we are in healthy relationships, we are often happier and healthier."

2. They listen to you.

Whether youre venting about your mother or your best friend, the one will listen to you and hear every word.

"Everyone wants to be heard and understood, so its also more important to be a good listener than to monopolize every conversation," Julie Spira, online dating expert, and award-winning dating coach, previously told Elite Daily. "Just saying, 'I hear you, and appreciate that youre sharing your thoughts and feelings with me' will improve your communication skills."

3. They build with you, not for you.

When you meet the one, the two of you will work together as a team.

I think the most important quality in 'the one' is the commitment to work at it, Dr. Montgomery said. All of the aforementioned qualities might exist when you are dating, but how do you continue to foster them years in? Finding someone who wants that and wants to work at it with you is key."

Your future will be built together, not separately.

4. You trust them.

Youll know youve found your person when you can trust them completely.

Trust creates the essential feelings of safety, security, and openness for both partners," Anita Chlipala, dating and relationships expert and licensed marriage and family therapist, previously told Elite Daily. "You can be more vulnerable and deepen your connection and love. Without trust, a relationship will have a lot of negativity, anxiety, and disconnection."

5. You dont always have to be doing something.

Not every day has to be jam-packed with plans. When youre with your person, even the chill days are magical.

'The one' encompasses a variety of characteristics such as compatibility, chemistry, deep love, admiration, respect, fun, and humor," Dr. Montgomery explained. From the minute you wake up, life will feel like an adventure even if youre just laying in bed.

6. They never put you down.

Your person will never let you feel like less than because they will be there to lift your confidence and spirit.

"Healthy relationships have that nice balance of making us feel accepted and challenging us to grow," Dr. Montgomery added. Your partner will make sure you know youre valued, and youll do the same for them.

7. You want to share your life with them.

When you try a new restaurant or see a preview for a really great movie, you know your person is the one you want by your side to enjoy it with.

"'The one' makes you feel loved and secure, Doares said. You are able to be yourself and feel accepted. They make you want to be your best self, and they bring that out in you. It wont even take you a millisecond to make a decision; your gut will just know.

8. You're always honest with each other.

Whether theyre telling you when youre the best version of yourself or admitting that they finished the Doritos you were looking forward to eating, the one will always be honest with you.

You want to navigate challenges together and know you can come out on the other side stronger," Dr. Montgomery explained. "You want to know you can be vulnerable and share the deep, scary stuff with your partner and feel closer after.

These 60 Products On Amazon Are So Hot Right Now

$

Here's the thing: There are literally thousands of products lining the virtual shelves of Amazon. Whether you're looking for a high-tech foot massager or a pizza maker for your kitchen, the online shopping platform has you totally covered. However, finding the products on Amazon that are hot-and-trending takes some extra time and commitment but it's 100% worth it.

For instance, you'll have to keep an eye on the customer reviews and overall ratings. If a certain item has hundreds of rave reviews (that are seemingly increasing by the minute), then you'll know the product is popular. Also, if the item you're looking at has a four- or five-star rating, then you'll probably get the hunch that it's a hot buy. Thanks to that customer feedback, you'll be able to stock your household with products that customers can't get enough of.

Of course, trends change and products improve. Still, that doesn't mean you shouldn't scope out the products that are popular in this very moment. (I'm talking Himalayan bath scrubs, temporary hair color, essential oil bracelets, and more.) And then, when you're ready to restock your supply of popular Amazon finds, the shopping site will be waiting for you.

39 Things On Amazon That Are Pure Genius & Under $30

$

When it comes to making products, it's clear that some designers came to work with their thinking caps on. (No disrespect to those who forgot their thinking caps at home.) These thinking cap-wearers have come up with some pure genius products that vastly improve upon the design of common everyday products, which is the case with all these things on Amazon under $30 you're about to discover.

Most of these products solve everyday problems you thought you just had to put up with like sore throats during cold season, hair that looks flat no matter how much volumizing mousse you put in, or the guilt of continuing to buy environmentally un-friendly plastic wrap. (Heck yes, there are real solutions to all these annoyances.)

And personally, I love digging through the thousands of pages on Amazon searching for these kinds of clever products because knowing you can actually improve your life through shopping in a way that's practical and doesn't involve buying expensive French perfume is extremely satisfying to me. I mean, I love an expensive perfume too, but there's a lot to be said for the practicality part.

So put your thinking cap on and do some very smart even genius shopping.

3 Jonas Brothers Group Halloween Costume Ideas That Are Just Cool

$

Getting dressed up for Halloween is always so much fun. Now, imagine doing that with your best buds and pretending to be ber famous at the same time? If you're thinking along those lines, then I suggest getting a group together and shutting it down (or should I say, burnin' it up?) as the Jonas Brothers. If you think about it, Nick, Kevin, and Joe Jonas have worn some pretty killer threads over the years from fedoras in the 2000s to ultra-glam wear in their "Sucker" music video. Lucky for you, I've already started pulling Jonas Brothers group Halloween costume ideas together for you, so all you and your friends need to do is choose a look.

1. Color-Coordinated JoBros

In August 2019, the Jonas Brothers held a colorful concert at the New York City stop on their Happiness Begins tour. The brothers shut it down in striking, bold-colored suits. Happiness begins every time I look at this photo. The colors are so vibrant, but not so vibrant that they make your eyes feel like they're bleeding, y'know? They look like the pastel version of a rainbow and I can't stop smiling... Anyway, you and your friends will be able to brighten up anyone's Halloween party with these color-coordinated ensembles.

Nick is wearing a mint-colored suit. So, you can grab this one below. It's $40, but that's pretty reasonable considering you'll get to wear it every springtime after this.

Payin' It Forward Blazer Set - Mint
Fashion Nova

Nick added some extra flair by wearing a mint-colored dress shirt on the inside. You'll need to do the same.

Hanes Women's X-Temp W/Fresh IQ Pique Polo

Kevin is in a just-as-amazing purple number. Here's a similar suit:

VELVET PANT SUIT SET
Venus

Like Nick, you'll need to finish off Kevin's look with a matching shirt inside your suit. Here's a purple t-shirt from Amazon.

Opna Women's Short Sleeve Moisture Wicking Athletic Shirts
Amazon

Joe's got on a magenta-colored suit. Grab a similar one like this:

SheIn Women's 2 Piece Outfit Notched Neck 3/4 Sleeve Blazer and Wide Leg Belted Pants Set
Amazon

Pair it with a matching t-shirt to finish off the look.

Clothe Co. Men's Short Sleeve Moisture Wicking Athletic T-Shirt
Amazon

Boom! You and your friends will look so dapper while Chasing Happiness, aka candy, all Halloween-long.

2. Connect 3 JoBros

If you want to go old school, opt for a 2000s Camp Rock 2 edition of the Jonas Brothers (aka, their fictional doppelgnger band, Connect 3). This costume is twice the fun because it's so 2000s and the 2000s were epic. Just look at Kevin's getup.

On that note, moving from left to right: First, Kevin.

He's got on an olive-colored fedora and it's tipped to the side. Here's a cute one that you can wear as such on Halloween and the remainder of Autumn.

Wide Brim Fedora
Urban Outfitters

He's also wearing a gray t-shirt with a white pinstripe vest.

He paired that with a brown, pleather jacket.

During the 2000s, frontman Joe was also marked by long, flippy hair. If you are truly committed to the look, you might want to consider picking up a wig.

Nick is wearing a dressy denim shirt in the photo above, so you'll need to do the same. This one is $43, but you can wear it year-round. Worth it!

Now go and shut it down lookin' "da bomb dot com."

3. Super Glam "Sucker" JoBros

For this next group costume, you'll need to round up three more friends and prepare to spend a bit more cash, but it'll be worth it. Trust. These Halloween costumes are going to have your group shuttin' sh*t down wherever y'all go because you'll be dressed as the Jonas Brothers and their Jonas Wives from the "Sucker" music video. Talk about glam.

First, let's do the guys.

Kevin is wearing a red-and-black sequins jacket with matching pants.

Joe's wife, Sophie Turner, probably had a lot of fun getting dressed for the video. I have a feeling if you choose this wild number, you'll have an awesome time, too. To start, you'll need a blue sheer robe with feather trim.

You'll wear the robe over a pink bodysuit paired with fishnet stockings.

As for Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Nick's wife, she truly went wild with her "Sucker" look, meaning you (or your friend) needs to be ready to look bold and beautiful. Let's start with the basics: grab a black bodysuit.

Auden Women's Seamless Bodysuit
Target

You'll also need a blue scarf to wrap around your head.

Tapp Collections Fashionable Soft Chiffon Scarf

Priyanka is also wearing a cropped red jacket, so you'll need one too.

Pair that with an orange polka dot skirt. This one is more like a mustard color, but close enough!

Oh, and you'll finish the look off by wearing a ton of pearl necklaces.

Honestly, I hope you and your friends choose these "Sucker" Halloween costumes, but any of the above will do! Happy Halloween!

These Tweets About Nancy Pelosi's "Meltdown" Turn Donald Trump's Insult Back On Him

$

On Oct. 16, lawmakers met with President Trump and members of his administration to discuss a House resolution about the United States military's pull-out from Syria. The meeting ended when Congressional Democrats walked out, on the basis that Trump was purportedly addressing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a demeaning way. After the meeting, Pelosi suggested that lawmakers had witnessed Trump having a "meltdown, sad to say." Trump responded by tweeting a photo of Pelosi speaking to the group with the caption "Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!" However, these tweets about Pelosi's so-called "meltdown" turn Trump's insult back on him.

On Oct. 13, Trump ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from northern Syria, despite bipartisan disapproval for leaving America's Kurdish allies without support just as Turkish forces advanced further south in Syria. According to The New York Times, Defense Secretary Mark Esper defended the decision, saying that it had been made to protect U.S. troops on the ground as Turkish forces pushed southward. Elite Daily did not immediately hear back from the White House about Trump's response to the bipartisan criticism he received.

Three days after announcing the troop withdrawal on Oct. 16, the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning Trump's decision with a 354-60 vote. Later that day, lawmakers met with Trump administration officials including the president himself to discuss Turkey, Syria, and the House resolution. After the meeting, Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers suggested that Trump was "shaken up" by the House resolution, and that he'd had a "meltdown" during the meeting. Elite Daily did not immediately hear back from the White House about Trump's reaction to lawmakers' claims he'd had a meltdown.

In response to Democratic lawmakers, Trump tweeted a photo of Pelosi standing up and pointing a finger at the president. In the photo, she's one of the only women in the room and the only one visible as seated at the table.

But social media users flipped the script, and that started with Pelosi. After the president's tweet, Pelosi used the image as her cover photo on her Twitter and Facebook pages.

The tweets about Pelosi's supposed "meltdown" defended the House speaker and lauded her for standing up to the president.

After the photo went viral, Pelosi told reporters on Oct. 17 that "I think I was excusing myself from the room" the moment the picture was taken. She added that the moment depicted in the photo could have been when she was expressing her "concerns about all roads leading to Putin," or her confusion about Trump sending troops to Saudi Arabia rather than back home to the United States. Elite Daily reached out to the White House for comment on the U.S.' withdrawal of troops from Syria and Pelosi's remarks, but did not immediately hear back.

According to USA Today, Democratic lawmakers walked out of Wednesday's meeting after Trump was reportedly "insulting" toward Pelosi. In a statement to USA Today, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham described Pelosi's decision to walk out of Wednesday's meeting as "baffling, but not surprising."

Speaker Pelosi had no intention of listening or contributing to an important meeting on national security issues," Grisham claimed in her statement to USA Today. "While Democratic leadership chose to storm out and get in front of the cameras to whine, everyone else in the meeting chose to stay in the room and work on behalf of this country. Elite Daily reached out to representatives of Pelosi for response to the remark, but did not immediately hear back.

But Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters that Trump had reportedly described Pelosi as a "third-rate politician," though Pelosi later said that Trump had actually used the phrase "third grade politician." Elite Daily did not immediately hear back from Pelosi about what Trump had said to her during the meeting. Trump continued to attack Pelosi on Twitter throughout the day on Wednesday, describing her as a "very sick person" who "needs help fast." Elite Daily reached out to representatives of Pelosi for response to the remark, but did not immediately hear back.

So, who's ultimately having the meltdown? That depends, I guess, on your own and the camera's perspective.

23 Sweet Texts To Send Your Air Sign Partner That'll Blow Them Away

$
0
0

No zodiac sign appreciates a heartfelt text like an air sign. Libras, Aquarians, and Geminis love reading, writing, speaking, or anything that combines those three activities with sentimentality. Water signs (Scorpios, Pisceans, and Cancers) also tend to enjoy soft, sweet sentiments from their partners, but air signs will just about melt into a puddle with just a few feels. If you have some sweet texts to send your air sign partner in your back pocket, that means you're probably pretty in-tune with what they need to feel loved.

Not only will your partner's face widen into a big grin when your message pops up, but they'll probably pull out their phone over and over again to re-read it because of their endearingly gushy nature. They'll appreciate having a concrete reminder of how much you love them, especially if they get stuck overthinking, (as they often do, no shade!).

A solid text to send your air sign partner might include something as simple as: "Hey, the lyrics in this reminded me of you," along with a link to the song. You can also send them a quick text like, "I ran across this poem and it seems right up your alley." There is no such thing as "too cheesy" for air signs. They'll feel special because not only are you sharing something beautiful with them, but because they'll know that whatever you saw made you think of them. Air signs are simple: They just want to know you care.

Below, 23 more texts that'll brighten an air sign's day.

,

Texts For Your Libra Partner

Libras strive for balance, particularly between beauty and brains. As a Libra's partner, one of the best ways to make them feel the love is to compliment their sense of style and their sensibility and logic. Here's what'll make your air sign bae smile.

"Apart from you killing the fashion game, I really admire how thoughtful you are."

"I can't wait to go to Paris Fashion Week and explore the city with you one day. I'm speaking it into existence! "

"You truly have a way with words."

"Hey! Just wanted to see how you're doing today, but I was also wondering what you ended up wearing? So send pics. "

"You impress me more and more each day."

"I just saw this and thought of you." "This" can be anything from an Instagram post of a fashion icon, or asocial justice role model that your partner looks up to.

"Thank you for always being so loving and kind."

It's easy to get caught up in a Libra's appearance and soft nature and decide they're all fluff with no substance. Your Libra partner will be so grateful for a sweet text that acknowledges all the things that make them special.

Texts For Your Gemini Partner

Geminis don't just want to be the smartest person in the room. They want to be the funniest and the most liked, too. If you want to warm your Gemini partner's heart, remind them that they're sharp and charming.

"I was just looking through all the tweets you sent me the other day and I was smiling so much my cheeks hurt. "

"You're super funny, you know that? I was just thinking of the time that [Insert memory that always cracks you two up here]."

"BTW You're one of my favorite humans on Earth."

"I just saw this and thought of you." ["This" can be a meme or their most-used reaction gif.]

"TBH, you're probably the funniest person I know. "

"All my friends have been gushing about how lucky I am to be dating you, and guess what? I agree!"

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

"This memory from a year ago popped up and I remembered I had such a good time because you were there."

Sometimes, it can be hard to make sense of Geminis and the duality they present to the world. They aren't symbolized by the twins for nothing, you know. As a partner to a Gemini, you'd do well in reassuring them that you admire their analytic, calculating side just as much as you love their extroverted, people-pleasing side.

Texts For Your Aquarius Partner

Last but not least, Aquarians. Like the other air signs, Aquarians are brainy. But unlike Libras and Geminis, they tend to be way less concerned about how others perceive them. What you'll see in (and probably love about) your Aquarius partner is the fact that they value individuality above everything. Let them know how cool that is to you.

"Hi, why are you so freaking good at XYZ?"

"My favorite thing about you is that you march to the beat of your own drum. "

"TBH I like that you're not afraid to rustle a few feathers."

"Thank you for always inspiring me to be myself. I really appreciate it!"

"Don't ever forget that you doing 'you' and following your own path is so special, and nothing to feel weird about."

"I love that you're constantly challenging me to be a better person. "

"I love that you're a trendsetter and a go-getter."

"Never change."

Aquarius is represented by a symbol of two waves, and it totally makes sense. Aquarians love shifting the tides. Show your partner some love by expressing how much you appreciate their ability to shake things up.

Dating an air sign can be a rollercoaster from start to finish. Like the wind, air signs are constantly on the move from one friend group, topic, and TV show to the next. But letting your air sign partner know how much you enjoy their quirks can give them peace, and remind them how appreciated they truly are.

There's no denying that Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are a seriously cool couple. Top to the bottom, they're just cool. And yes, I just did that, don't @ me. These two just always seem like they're having the best time together,whether they're rocking out on yachts on vacay, supporting each other on the red carpet, or guzzling beers courtside at sporting events. We all just want to be them or at least get the chance to hang out with them. And while that will probs never happen, we can, at least, dress up and pretend to be the aspirational couple for one amazing night. These four Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas couples Halloween costume ideas will have you feeling like you're dancing on top of bars and stumbling out of bars, even if you're just sitting at home handing out, well, suckers. Speaking of which...

1. "Sucker" Jophie

Why not take inspiration from the Jonas Brothers' major 2019 comeback track and steal Turner and Jonas' looks from the Sucker music video? I mean, Turner's outfit in the vid basically looks like a Halloween costume anyway, am I right?

Her entire look (minus the headpiece) came straight from designer Tomo Koizumi's Spring/Summer '19 collection.

To emulate it, start with this pink angora heart sweater from Sophie Moran:

The Love Heart Angora Sweater
Sophie Moran

Then purchase two of these rainbow-hued tutus on Etsy, and cut one up to use as armbands:

Pink Blue Purple 6 Layer TUTU SKIRT
SydneySoSweet on Etsy

Top off the look with a tinsel headband from Amazon:

Tinsel Head Bopper
Amazon

For Jonas' look, you'll need to outfit your boo in a pale pink t-shirt topped with a matching pink jacket.

I'm kind of digging these options from Amazon:

Men's Standard 2-Pack Slim-fit Short-Sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt
Amazon
LZLER Jean Jacket for Men
Amazon

Oh, and feel free to hit that baby up with a Be Dazzler tool for extra ~stud~ appeal.

The Original be Dazzler Tool
SAS on Amazon

2. Dark Phoenix Jophie

Turner looked stunning in Louis Vuitton at the X-Men: Dark Phoenix premiere in Los Angeles on June 5, and we love Jonas' coordinating black-and-white ensemble.

Copy Turner's look with this paisley bustier:

Flashback Floral Bustier
White House Black Market

Pair it with a striped pencil skirt from Amazon:

Women's Black N Ivory Stripe Pencil Skirt
ECI New York on Amazon

Then complete the look with a black leather belt with a big silver buckle.

Vonsely Soft Wide Leather Belt
Amazon

For Jonas' synchronized look, you'll need a vertical black-and-white, striped shirt like this one:

Guys Black & White Vertical-Striped Shirt
Romwe

Worn under a slim-fit black suit, like this sleek option from Van Heusen:

Van Heusen Men's Slim-Fit Flex Stretch Wrinkle-Resistant Black Solid Suit
Macy's

3. Chasing Happiness Jophie

Remember when Turner basically stole the show on the red carpet for the premiere of Chasing Happiness in her Paco Rabanne silver chain mail dress? It was sultry and sexy, and seriously curve-hugging, making it the perfect fit for All Hallow's Eve. Even Jonas couldn't take his eyes off of her.

To steal this style, you'll need just one thing a metallic chain mail dress.

Here are a few options:

SILVER CHAINMAIL DIAMANTE STRAP DRESS
Pretty Little Thing
GOIN' IN FOR THE SLAY CHAINMAIL DRESS
Dolls Kill
You've Got Chainmail Cowl Dress
NastyGal

For Jonas' look, you'll need to start with a slim-fit charcoal grey suit:

Harry Brown Textured Slim Fit Gray Check Suit Jacket
Asos
Harry Brown Textured Slim Fit Gray Check Suit Pants
Asos

Then complete the look with a dark mustard tee:

Men's Long Sleeve Cotton Round Neck Tshirt
Amazon

4. Vegas Jophie

Not gonna lie, this is my favorite Jophie costume idea. The whole surprise wedding thing was just so iconic. I mean, Turner and Jonas hit up a Las Vegas chapel after the Billboard Music Awards on May 1, where they proceeded to get married by an Elvis impersonator. Afterward, they threw on shades inspired by The King, popped on a couple of RingPops, then posed on a pink Cadillac like a couple of bosses.

Coolest. Newlyweds. Ever. I mean, who wouldn't want to recreate this look for Halloween?

Jonas rocked another dark grey suit, while his bride looked super cool and chic in a white bridal jumpsuit by Ukrainian brand, Bevza.

This is the actual jumpsuit from Bevza that Turner wore:

But if you don't feel like dropping upwards of $600 on a costume although, TBH, you could totally wear this baby again here's a pretty good dupe you can cop at Bloomingdales:

Restore Wide-Leg Jumpsuit
Keepsake at Bloomingdales

Have your SO wear the same charcoal suit from the Chasing Happiness costume:

Harry Brown Textured Slim Fit Gray Check Suit Jacket
Asos
Harry Brown Textured Slim Fit Gray Check Suit Pants
Asos

Only this time, your date should punctuate the look with a crisp white button-down and matching faux boutonniere, like these:

Men's Tailored Fit Button-Collar Solid Pinpoint Dress Shirt
Amazon
White Silk Rose Boutonniere with Cream Ribbon
Amazon

To really pull off this costume, of course, you'll both need those Elvis glasses and a pair of Ring Pops.

Kangaroo Gold 60s Rock Star Aviator Sunglasses
Amazon
Ring Pop, Jewel Shaped Hard Candy Variety Pack, 24-Count
Amazon

Obviously, Turner and Jonas are total bad*asses. So whichever costume you choose, just remember to act like a new James Dean and a Killer Queen and it'll all be cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.


5 ‘Sunday Service’ Costumes Kanye West Would Definitely Approve Of

I'd be lying if I said that attending one of Kanye West's Sunday Services wasn't right at the top of my Life Goals list. In case you somehow missed the drop of this transformative enterprise, here's what you need to know: West started holding the weekly pop-up church experience back in January 2019. The location changes regularly, but the service typically features a gospel choir, and combines the rapper's love of music, fashion, and faith. The event is invite-only, but there have been tons of clips from the gatherings shared on social media over the last 10 months and, I have to admit, I love the way the KarJenner crew does church clothes. Their looks are all just so minimal and modern, and I can't think of a better fit to take out for a spin on Oct. 31. Here, then, are five Sunday Service costume ideas. Fake it 'til you make it, right?

1. Man On The Mountain: Kanye At Coachella

On Apr. 21 aka, Easter Sunday West brought his Sunday Service to the second weekend of Coachella. It was the first time the event was open to the public and Ye's much-anticipated festival Service drew a massive crowd as he and his choir performed on top of a mini-mountain for two hours.

To commemorate the occasion, Kanye and the choir got decked out in loose-fitting pastel pinks and purples. It was all very Easter Egg-chic. Kanye even dyed his hair purple.

To steal West's style for Halloween, you'll need a comfy, muted purple t-shirt, like this one from Old Navy:

Soft-Washed Perfect-Fit Crew-Neck Tee
Old Navy

Then add a pair of baggy pink cargo pants:

Outsiders Tactical Cargo Pants
Club Giv

And top off your look with some temporary purple hair dye:

Amazon

2. Sister Act: Kim Kardashian & Kendall Jenner At Coachella

West wasn't the only member of the Kar-Jenner fam in attendance at Coachella. His wife, Kim Kardashian, hit up the event with the couple's kids in tow. Khlo and Kourtney Kardashian both rolled up, too. Ditto Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

Here's a video that Kim posted of the whole crew on Snapchat:

I'm totally obsessed with the outfits worn by Kim and Kendall, though, so grab your bestie and copy the dynamic duo.

If you're going as Kim, the first thing you'll need is a taupe, sleeveless mock turtleneck top. I'm loving this version from Lulus:

Alive and Kicking Taupe Sleeveless Turtleneck Top
Lulus

Next up: A long, lean taupe skirt.

BASIC TAUPE LONG LINE MIDI SKIRT
Pretty Little Thing

One of my favorite parts of Kim's outfit is the surprising pop of green delivered by the trio of bangles that punctuate various parts of her arms. Here's a pretty good dupe:

Womens Tribal Bangle Bracelet Multi Set
Amazon

To finish off the costume, throw on a pair of skinny brown sunnies:

Vintage Skinny Cat Eye Glasses

While Kim's outfit is all muted and soft, Kendall's is bright white and breezy. Start off with a satin cami, like this one from Asos:

Then pair it with a white satin wrap skirt with a sexy slit up to there.

Satin Wrap Midaxi Skirt
BooHoo

Finally, accessorize your costume with a pair of gold swirl earrings and tortoise shades, both courtesy of Amazon.

3. Mommy & Me in DC

West held a surprise Sunday Service at Howard University's homecoming on Oct. 12. The crowd gathered at 8 a.m. on the quad for the performance, and Kim Kardashian entered the fray with the couple's daughter, North West.

I think these looks would make a great costume for any mom who plans on going trick-or-treating with her toddler.

Let's start with Kim, because her look is super clean and easy to replicate. For starters, you'll need a long-sleeve white top:

Featherweight Long Sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt
Gap

A pair of skinny white pants:

Super Comfy Stretch Pull-On Millennium Twill Pant
Amazon

And a couple of layered gold necklaces.

Lotus Bud and Buddha Charm Pendants on Layered 16 and 18 inch chains
Devi Ro on Amazon

It was actually North who upped the fashion game at this service, thanks to her cool shades and edgy Sherpa jacket.

Steal the little diva's style with this sherpa-lined jacket from Gap:

Kids Sherpa-Lined Cord Jacket
Gap Factory

Next, you'll need a pair of beige cargos:

Girls Cargo Pants
Forever 21

And the pice de rsistance a retro pair of square beige shades:

Retro Oversized Square Sunglasses
Amazon

4. Pitch Perfect: The Samples Choir

If you've got a whole posse that wants to dress up together, going as The Samples West's official Sunday Service gospel choir is a seriously cool and easy idea.

Here they are performing a remix of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" at a Service held on June 30.

The best part about this costume is that everyone in your squad only needs to purchase one of two things either a choir robe or a set of neutral scrubs.

Leishungao Senior Classic Choir Robe
Amazon
Unisex Scrub Set
All Heart

5. Church Merch

ICYMI, West got majorly dragged on social media after selling "church clothes" at his Easter Sunday Service for astronomical prices like $225 for a branded sweatshirt and $50 for a pair of socks. You know, just a small price to pay to worship at the temple of Kanye.

Of course, that didn't stop his extended fam from sporting the gear:

TBH, I kinda like it. And thanks to Amazon, fans can still score a bunch of cheap(er) knock-offs of this stuff, which you should totally do if you're looking for a dope group costume.

Here's a round-up of some of my fave pieces:

Kanye West Sunday Service Holy Spirit
Amazon
Kanye West Sunday Service Trust God
Amazon
Kanye West HOLY Spirit Hoodie
Amazon
Kanye West Sunday Service Printed Jogging Pants
Amazon
Holy Spirit Sweatshirt for Sunday Service

So there you have it, dolls. Happy trick-or-treating and Godspeed!

Multilingual, mega-talented, and effortlessly beautiful. These are just a few words to describe Jennie from BLACKPINK. If you're a fan of K-Pop, you're no stranger to the beautiful harmony of the girl group. Each one of the members Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Ros all boast individual talents. If you've been wondering, "Who is Jennie from BLACKPINK?" I'm sharing facts galore below.

Let's start with this: Jennie can wow a sold-out crowd of Blinks with her dance moves and vocals, but that's just one of the reasons fans adore her. Jennie is the main rapper and a vocalist for the group, which was formed in August 2016. So, let's get into the deets of who Jennie is, shall we?

1. She's a Social Media Maven

With more than 21 million followers on Instagram, Jennie keeps her fans up to date on her everyday life by posting stunning pictures of herself and beautiful photography that she snaps. In October 2019, Jennie shared a series of photos of herself, her mom, and a scenic location they traveled to. The post alone garnered the attention of many of her fans, racking up nearly 2 million likes in less than 24 hours.

2. She Speaks Three Languages

As if being a world-famous pop star wasn't enough, Jennie is also talented off the stage as well. She's fluent in Korean, Japanese, and English.

3. She's an Animal Lover

Jennie is the proud dog mom of two furry canines named Kuma and Kai (yes, like her ex from EXO, but that's just a coincidence, y'all). She's also not shy about sharing photos with other animals, including meerkats. Just look at the adorableness below!

Check out this super cute video of her dog in a stroller.

4. She Plays Two Instruments

Jennie's voice isn't the only musical thing about her! She can also play the piano and the flute.

5. She's Lived All Over The World

Jennie was born in Gyeonggi, South Korea, and also lived in Auckland, New Zealand, for five years and studied at ACG Parnell College. Following BLACKPINK's 2019 In Your Area world tour, Jennie opened up to Elle Korea about what she learned about herself from the experience.

I learned, felt, and experienced a lot. I realized that, without fear, if I took another step forward, what Ill find is a scene that I hadnt expected. Id like to continue to show an even better impression on stage from now on.

6. She's Been in Multiple Commercials

Jennie has starred in TV ads for Sprite and CASS Beer. Check out her acting chops in the video below!

7. She Released Her First Solo Song in 2018

Jennie became the first member of BLACKPINK to release a solo song in November 2018. Jennie spoke out about her decision to release the tune, conveniently titled "SOLO," in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

"It really means a lot to me," Jennie gushed of the "unconditional love and support" she received from fans.

There you have it! Jennie has all the qualities that fans love in a superstar and now you're armed with enough knowledge to banter with a Blink!

If You’re Not Sexually Compatible With Your Partner, Here's How To Work On It

$

A couple's compatibility doesn't hinge on just one thing. Compatibility takes into account a couple's habits, interests, attraction, and the effort both partners are willing to put into their relationship (among so many other factors). Sex is one important part of an even bigger compatibility "whole," but it's not everything, nor is it the most important part of a relationship for every couple. Nevertheless, a healthy sex life is a priority for some, and if you feel like you're not sexually compatible with your partner, you might feel a little discouraged. But don't panic, your relationship isn't doomed. There are a few solutions you and your partner can consider to help make your sexual relationship work.

Dr. Carol Queen, staff sexologist at sex toy company Good Vibrations, explains that sexual incompatibility tends to become an issue because of the taboo around sex. If you and your partner don't talk about sex openly and comfortably before you become super committed, you might not even realize how different your sexual tastes are.

"We talk about sex like there's a 'normal' baseline. There isn't!" Queen tells Elite Daily. "As long as we're not imposing on someone else coercively or non-consensually, we all have a right to our sexuality. It's not a problem that we're different. It's a problem that we don't understand that's one element of partner compatibility to consider."

Queen recommends three possible solutions: taking care of your sexual satisfaction through masturbation, opening up your relationship so you can see other people with whom you're more sexually compatible, or asking your partner to work on becoming more compatible with you. "The most effective way to do this is probably to see a sex therapist together, though there are other things you can do instead if that isn't an option," Queen says.

For starters, she recommends not having this conversation while in bed. "Do it over a quiet dinner, a glass of wine but not a lot of glasses. This isn't a good mix with inebriation, or on a walk. Don't spring the conversation on them," Queen says. "Ask for some of their time to discuss something important."

Then, let your partner know that it doesn't seem like you two are a perfect fit in terms of your desires. For example, this could be a matter of your partner having kinky tastes while you prefer something a little more traditional, or vice versa. Your dissatisfaction might stem from the fact that your partner might not be able to help you orgasm, or perhaps they have a lower sex drive than you. There could be several reasons you feel this incompatibility. Tell your partner how you feel and then ask them what they think.

You might find that they agree with you and are willing to work on your sexual compatibility together. This starts with honest communication about your sexuality, including boundaries and priorities. According to Queen, one concrete way to approach this is by sitting down with your partner and creating individual "Yes, No, Maybe" lists. In the "Yes" category, you would write down all the things you already know you like and want to make a regular part of your sex life. In the "Maybe" category, you would write the things you'd be willing to try. And finally, in the "No" category, you would write the things you don't want to do. From there, you and your SO would avoid everything on your "No" lists, and work to find common ground on the "Yes" and "Maybe" lists.

"If you and your partner can talk openly about these kinds of things, you can pretty likely find a sweet spot of activities you both enjoy," says Queen.

If you find that you or your partner have one non-negotiable turn-on or kink that the other refuses to try, try not to panic. Queen admits this isn't an "easy fix," and describes the situation as one that has "led many couples to therapy, to open their relationships, or to even break up." Nevertheless, "if you can communicate clearly and lovingly about your differences, you have a head start," she says. Talk it out to work it out.

Ultimately, whether it's the sex you're having now or something new you try out in the future, make sure you're having sex because you want to. You should never feel like you need to have a type of sex that you don't want to just to keep a partner, Queen says.

If you and your SO are interested in opening your relationship, Queen says you'll "need to make sure you are caught up on your communication skills, can handle jealousy, time management, and all the things you need to be good at to successfully have an open relationship or a polyamorous one."

A book many sexperts (Queen included) recommend is Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures by Janet Hardy. "I promise you the book is wise and worthwhile," Queen says. You can also sit down with your partner and make "Yes, No, Maybe" lists for polyamorous relationships too.

Talking about sex can be tough. It's why you might find yourself dating someone long-term who you're not sexually compatible with. You and your partner might need some time to process the discussion, especially if it was difficult on you, and that's OK.

If after you have this discussion "your partner just won't hear you and denies what you're saying and experiencing, that's a red flag," says Queen. "In a situation like this, therapy is called for. Breaking up might even be called for. If a partner denies your perspective is even real, and does not commit to work on the relationship, you may not be in a situation that can be improved."

It might feel like a serious bummer, but try to remember that you deserve a happy, healthy sex life, and if your partner's not willing give that to you, you shouldn't be afraid to find someone who will.

No matter what you and your partner end up doing, it's important that you talk through your issues. Queen says that not talking about them can prompt problematic relationship behaviors, like affairs or faking pleasure. Talking to your partner isn't a 100% guarantee that all of your problems in the bedroom will be solved, but it's a start, and it's also one solid, brave, healthy step you can take to work on your relationship before calling it quits all together.

Kevin Jonas' Tattoo Of Danielle Is So Freaking Romantic

A very wise rapper once said, "Tat my name on you so I know it's real," and well, Kevin Jonas did the next best thing and got a picture. This photo of Kevin Jonas' tattoo of Danielle is such a sweet symbol of their union.

On Oct. 17, Jonas unveiled a teeny-tiny bit of ink dedicated to his wife of nearly a decade. Rather than get her name, which is so 2011 (if you go by Drake and Rick Ross' aforementioned track "Free Spirit"), Jonas opted for a picture of his wife from her appearance in the super-fun "Sucker" music video, and it's so beautiful.

Jonas shared the new ink in a carousel post on Instagram with the caption, "Brand new addition to the fam. So proud of this time in our life and getting to remember this with @daniellejonas forever!"

The first slide was a tight-shot of the new tat on his forearm, which is an outline of Danielle's figure. The second slide was a still of Danielle from the "Sucker" music video in which she's wearing that drop-dead-gorgeous Giambattista tulle pink ball gown and surrounded by corgis while on the grounds of Hatfield House Queen Elizabeth Is childhood home. Definitely a moment to remember.

The tattoo does not feature the adorable pups, but it's still amazing (and sweet). Of course, Jonas' fans thought the same thing and went wild in the comments section.

"A little offended you left the corgis out but still awesome!!" joked a cordi account.

"Husband goals. Oh Kevin, you're the best," commented a fan.

"THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER ARE YOU KIDDING ME," wrote another.

Jonas got inked up by Los Angeles-based celebrity tattoo artist Winterstone, who was tagged in the post. He shared the photo on his own account, captioning it, "For his wife #singleneedle #delicatelysharp #1 #sucker #jonasbrothers #wife @kevinjonas wear it with pride!

Aww, I'm sure he will, just like with his previous family-oriented tattoos. In September 2019, Jonas got an adorable tattoo of two stuffed animals holding hands on his forearm. The stuffed bunny and teddy bear represent his and Danielle's daughters Alena and Valentina. He shared the tattoo, which he got at Bang Bang's in New York City, on Instagram with the caption, "Newest piece to the collection thank you @drag_ink for making it come to life. Love bringing reminders of my girls with me everywhere I go!"

I'll have you know, he also has another tattoo that represents their entire family unit. Jonas has Dani tattooed on his left ring finger (because Danielle's his wife, duh). You can see it on Daily Mail. That tattoo also has four doves symbolizing himself, his wife, and their two daughters. Fans were in their feelings when he got this ink too.

Honestly, these are the sweetest tattoos I've ever seen in my life and, yes, I'm absolutely crying over them. Kevin Jonas you may be a superstar, but you better believe you're also a super dad and husband.

How To Plan A Bachelorette At Disney That's A Bride's Dream Come True

Saying yes when your soulmate pops the question brings you one step closer to your happily ever after. But before you tie the knot, you have your bachelorette party to look forward to. This is a time to celebrate with your best friends, and for any Disney lover, a trip to either Disneyland or Disney World is always a great option. Deciding where to go is just the beginning. Next up, you'll need to know how to plan a bachelorette at Disney.

Disney is not just for families on vacation. The theme parks can be the ultimate destination for any type of bachelorette party you want to have. If you're leaning towards something more relaxing, consider staying at one of the resorts and spending time being pampered at the spa with massages and manicures. If you're down for the adventure, you may want to attempt to check off every ride at the parks in a few days.

Whatever you have in mind, you have the magic of Disney to make your celebration extra special. Just make sure to incorporate at least a few of these super fun ideas into your getaway, and you'll have the time of your life with your bride squad.

,

1. Wear Matching T-Shirts And Mickey Ears

Wearing matching T-shirts has kind of become a must for bachelorette parties (if that's your style). When you're enjoying the parks all day long it will also be a whole lot easier finding each other when you're rocking matching tees and Mickey Ears. Every bride at Disney should rock wedding Minnie Mouse ears with a veil.

2. Eat And Drink Around The World

At Disney World, you can plan on drinking (if you're 21 or up) and eating around the world at Epcot. Not only will you be enjoying the different menus, but you'll also basically be traveling around the world for your bachelorette party.

3. Plan A Scavenger Hunt In The Parks

Have one of your bridesmaids plan a scavenger hunt in the parks. Put down the rides you want to ride, iconic Mickey-shaped tasty treats you want to try, and cool Instagram spots you want to snap pics in front of on the list so you have to complete them all.

4. Reserve Dinner At A Fun Restaurant

The restaurants at Disney never disappoint. For a super fun atmosphere, I recommend reserving a table at the 50's Prime Time Caf at Hollywood Studios. You'll feel like you stepped into a classic TV show sitcom. If you feel like channeling one of your favorite princesses, check out the Be Our Guest Restaurant so you can have a meal in the Beast's castle.

5. Book A Bungalow For The Whole Party

If you're staying at Disney, it's well-worth it to splurge on a villa or suite for your whole crew. If you really want a magical experience, consider booking a bungalow at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Every bungalow sleeps up to eight people and has its own pool and private deck overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon. You'll be able to relax and watch the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom every night, too.

6. Toast The Bride-To-Be At Trader Sam's

Head to Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar for a round of drinks to toast the bride-to-be. It's an enchanted tiki bar, so if you order some of their iconic drinks like the Krakatoa Punch, something exciting will happen in the bar. (No spoilers you'll have to find out for yourself.)

7. Snap A Group Pic In Front Of The Castle

You want to snap tons of group pictures to remember your bachelorette party. Capture photos while on rides or selfies with characters you see. Just don't forget to get the number one photo at Disney, which is right in front of the castle.

8. Book A Massage Or Two At The Spa

For the most relaxing getaway, book a massage at one of the spas at Disney. I love getting a massage and manicure at the spa in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at Disneyland. There's also the spa at Saratoga Springs and Grand Floridian if you're traveling to Disney World.

9. Spend Time Relaxing By The Pool

If you're exhausted from spending all day in the parks, take the next day off and relax by the pool. Disney has some amazing pools at all of their resorts. You could spend hours just relaxing, while ordering drinks and food in between swimming.

These Tweets About Cristina Texting Meredith On 'Grey's Anatomy' Are Everything

$

I don't think Grey's Anatomy fans ever fully recovered from Cristina Yang leaving the show. After all, she is Meredith Grey's person, and the two of them together were everyone's favorite twisted sisters. The besties stopped being able to see each other every day once Cristina left Grey Sloan, but fans have been treated to a few exciting mentions of Cristina's name every now and then in the years since she left. On Oct. 17, audiences got to see a special long-distance interaction between the two friends, and these tweets about Cristina texting Meredith on Grey's Anatomy show just how excited fans were to see their mini-reunion. Warning: Spoilers for Grey's Anatomy Season 16 Episode 4 follow.

When Cristina (Sandra Oh) left in Season 10, she moved away from Seattle to lead a cardio-thoracic department at a hospital in Switzerland. But just because she's far away, that doesn't mean she isn't still there for Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) during her times of need. Meredith's latest crisis involves her getting fired and getting her medical license suspended over an insurance fraud scandal. In Thursday night's episode, after she tried to pitch an essay about medicine to a publication, she inadvertently published a list of grievances she has with the medical field, and specifically, with Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, where her friend and mentor Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is still the chief. As soon as Meredith's list went live, everyone knew it would ruffle a whole lot of feathers, and Cristina made sure to text Meredith to check in on her.

After Meredith's article went public, Cristina sent her person a text message that read, "Move to Switzerland before Bailey murders you in her sleep." I mean, any time an original character has a cameo on Grey's Anatomy, it's exciting for fans. But when it's a cameo from an absolute fan-favorite like Cristina, fans are over the moon, as evidenced by their many tweets.

It's nice to know that even though Meredith is at a low point in Seattle, her person is still there for her all the way across the world. Cristina's offer for Meredith to join her in Switzerland seems like it could actually be a viable option for Meredith, especially since Bailey isn't showing any signs of forgiving Meredith any time soon. Could there be a Switzerland-based spinoff of Grey's Anatomy in the future?

Cristina was spot-on in her assessment of Bailey's anger. At the end of the episode, Meredith visited Bailey at the hospital to try to smooth things over. She explained that she loves the hospital and that she basically grew up in it. But, Bailey still seemed pretty hurt by all the harsh things Meredith had to say about the hospital, especially since she and Meredith had been so close. "I was your friend, your mentor, and every time you needed me I was there," Bailey said. Meredith left Bailey's office without them reconciling, and it doesn't seem like they will anytime soon. Maybe that move to Switzerland isn't such a bad idea for Meredith.

Season 16 of Grey's Anatomy continues on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Moving To Los Angeles From NYC Was The Fresh Start I Needed In My 20s

From the time I was a little girl, I had my heart set on living in New York City one day. Something about how the city was so romanticized in every movie and TV show I watched made me want to see what all the hype was about. So the day after I graduated college, I packed up my things and moved to The Big Apple. I lived there for two magical years, and though I still love the city (and may move back someday), moving to Los Angeles from NYC was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my 20s.

To be honest, before college, I never pictured myself moving to the West Coast. I'm from Florida, went to college in Boston, and planned on working in the music industry, so New York seemed like the most logical place for me to move post-grad. But after befriending so many amazing people while I was in school who had goals of moving to LA, I realized there are many other options to explore other than the pathway I originally mapped out for myself.

So even though I always pictured myself living in NYC, making myself open to possibilities and a new city to call home really has changed my life for the better.

The biggest lesson I've learned since graduating college is that I need to be flexible. I had huge plans for myself working at a record label or managing an artist which didn't pan out. With that realization came the need to expand my horizons. I looked for work outside of my original field, and that lead me to working in editorial.

While NYC is certainly the center of the media and editorial industries, I felt that as a freelancer, I wanted to try my luck on the West Coast. I took a leap and moved. Fortunately, after three months I realized it was a great decision and my freelance career began to really take off.

In addition to working in a new field I enjoyed, moving to a new city was a great opportunity to develop personally and that's exactly what I've done in LA. Not only have I reconnected and strengthened friendships here, but I've also made connections with new people around the city. Events, fitness classes, getting work done in a local caf, and anything in between provide awesome opportunities to meet new people.

Because I spend so much time driving now, I've also found creative (and safe) ways to be productive while in the car. I listen to podcasts on the reg and often have Siri read off my to-do lists when I'm on my way to a meeting. It's definitely different than answering emails or playing games on my phone on the subway, but I love getting a little bit of time (or a lot, depending on traffic) to myself to gather my thoughts and recalibrate before stepping out of my car into the "real world."

Another fun part about calling my new city "home" has been the journey of finding my "go-to spots." Over the past year, I've established my coffee spot (Alfred Tea Room), my work spot (Groundwork Coffee, North Hollywood), my happy hour spot (Mirabelle Wine Bar), my nail place (Laque Nail Bar), my massage place (Squeeze), and even my favorite poke place.

Though I felt apprehensive about moving all the way across the country out of fear it would not feel like home, finding amazing places where I'm so comfortable has made me feel like I've become a local. Now I can say I have my favorite spots on the East and West Coasts.

NYC will always have a special place in my heart, and I may even move back one day. But moving to a new city was so much more than just moving my belongings. It was taking a leap of faith and betting on myself. It was me believing I could think outside the box with my career without feeling obligated to follow my original plan. I moved on a whim, and it actually worked out just great.

Of course, packing up your things and moving across the country might not be for everyone. But switching up your original game plan can sometimes be exactly what you need at least that was the case for me. I'm the happiest and most successful I have ever been in LA.


Eric's True Identity In 'A Million Little Things' Changes Everything

As soon as Eric made his first appearance on A Million Little Things, it was clear he would shake things up. He showed up in Season 2 Episode 2 with some sort of mysterious connection to Maggie's mom Patricia. Two episodes later, Eric's true identity in A Million Little Things was finally revealed, and Maggie is going to be dealing with the fallout for a long time. Warning: Spoilers for A Million Little Things Season 2 Episode 4 follow.

Maggie (Allison Miller) has always had a difficult relationship with her mom Patricia (Melora Hardin), and the latest drama with Eric (Jason Ritter) is not helping them build any bridges. Maggie grew up feeling like her brother Chad was her mom's favorite, and even after his death in a car accident, Maggie still felt like her mom didn't care all that much about her. That feeling intensified when Maggie realized Patricia's latest visit to Boston wasn't only to visit Maggie; it was also to visit Eric.

Tensions between Maggie and Patricia rose even more at the beginning of Episode 4, "The Perfect Storm." That's when Patricia brought Eric with her to Maggie's house for breakfast. Maggie confronted them about their relationship, assuming they were a couple, but that was not actually the case. It turns out, as Maggie learned abruptly, Eric is actually the man who received her brother's heart after he died.

Maggie had been told Chad died instantly in his car accident, but when she learned the truth about Eric, she also learned Chad was actually still alive when he was brought to the hospital. He died shortly after, but Patricia was able to say goodbye to him. She lied about all this before because she didn't want Maggie or Maggie's father to feel even more loss than they already did. However, that reasoning did not make Maggie feel any better about her mom's lies, or about her mom's closeness with Eric.

After Maggie learned the truth, she went for a lonely walk in the rain. Eric found her on her walk and convinced her to see her mom before Patricia left Boston. Maggie did, but that actually only made things worse, because that's when Maggie discovered Patricia's trip to Boston during Maggie's most recent surgery was actually a trip for her to see Eric.

Patricia found comfort in Eric after Chad's death. But Maggie only saw their connection as more evidence that Patricia is continuing to put Chad (or, in this case, his heart) above her own daughter. But, luckily for Maggie, Eric seems to be around to provide comfort for her, too. At the end of the episode, he sent Maggie a text message saying he's around for her if she ever wants to talk again. So, even though Maggie said goodbye to her mom, it looks like Eric might be sticking around in her life a little bit longer.

Season 2 of A Million Little Things continues on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Will Maggie & Eric Get Together On 'A Million Little Things'? Gary Is Upset

There's plenty of relationship drama on A Million Little Things, but fans have been able to root for one couple from pretty much the very beginning. Maggie and Gary met in the pilot episode of the series, and their unlikely relationship has blossomed into one audiences love to root for. But, at the end of the latest episode, something or someone, rather provided a real threat to Maggie and Gary's relationship. That someone is named Eric, and fans are wondering, will Maggie and Eric get together on A Million Little Things? They seemed to have formed a very close bond. Warning: Spoilers for A Million Little Things Season 2 Episode 4 follow.

When Maggie (Allison Miller) first met Eric (Jason Ritter) in Season 2 Episode 2, it looked like there might be a spark between them. They immediately bonded while joking about a snooty restaurant host, and it was clear they had some chemistry. However, that connection between them was immediately broken as soon as Maggie's mom Patricia (Melora Hardin) arrived at the restaurant and greeted Eric with an intimate hug. It was clear Patricia and Eric had some sort of close relationship, and Maggie was not happy to see it.

At first, Maggie assumed Eric was dating her mom. But, in Season 2 Episode 4, Maggie learned Eric is actually the man who received her late brother's heart after he died. Patricia had lied to Maggie about Chad's death; Maggie thought he died instantly in his car accident, but he actually survived at the hospital long enough to become an organ donor. Maggie was pretty upset to learn that her mom had lied to her about her brother's death and that she had turned to Eric for comfort instead of supporting her own family. Luckily for Maggie, Eric was there to support her.

Maggie stormed out of her house into a rainstorm, and she told her boyfriend Gary (James Roday) to stay behind because she didn't want to talk to him. But, when Eric found a rain-soaked Maggie on the street, he convinced her to talk to him instead. Even though Maggie didn't want to open up to Gary, she found it very easy to talk through her feelings with Eric.

By the end of the episode, Maggie was still very upset with her mom, and she still didn't want to talk about it with Gary, even after he told her he was there for her no matter what. Maggie might not have been talking to Gary, but her phone was saying a whole lot to him. He caught a glimpse of a text message on her phone from Eric, offering to be there for her if she ever wants to talk again. Gary seemed pretty hurt by all of it, which could spell trouble for him and Maggie. Gary and Maggie have been there for each other through an intense cancer treatment and the loss of Gary's best friend, so here's hoping they can also make it through Maggie's newfound friendship with Eric too.

Season 2 of A Million Little Things continues on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

The 5 Best Coconut Oil Shampoos

Much like a viral meme, coconut oil's rise in popularity was swift and all-consuming. Seemingly overnight, it went from a barely used ingredient to a beauty (and cooking) staple capable of doing everything from removing makeup to whitening teeth. Of course, one of coconut oil's crowning achievements is its many hair benefits, which include repairing damaged hair and taming frizz. Concentrated leave-in treatments are a go-to choice for many, but a quick wash with one of the best coconut oil shampoos is another solid way to achieve smoother, healthier hair in mere minutes.

That being said, coconut oil hair products aren't one-size-fits-all. Folks with curly or thicker hair (or hair that's particularly damaged from things like over-processing and over-styling) can indulge in richer formulas without worrying about their hair getting weighed down. Meanwhile, dry, damaged hair types might want to consider a shampoo that's sulfate-free, since sulfates, which are used to give shampoo a foamy lather, can exacerbate dryness by stripping hair of its natural oils.

If you have thinner or more fine hair, you might find that you don't need to use such a nourishing shampoo on a regular basis. Try working a coconut oil shampoo into your routine one to two times a week to help soften your hair and repair damage. Also, be sure you choose a shampoo that isn't specifically formulated for thicker hair.

To help get you started, here are five of the best coconut oil shampoos on the market and they're all under $10!

1. The Overall Best Coconut Oil Shampoo

OGX Extra Strength Damage Remedy + Coconut Miracle Oil Shampoo
Amazon

Whether you have thick and curly hair that's naturally prone to breakage and dryness, or your hair type is on the finer side but in need of some major TLC, this OGX coconut oil shampoo can help. It goes without saying that coconut oil is its star ingredient, and it helps prevent protein loss from the hair shaft, leaving hair that's already damaged stronger and better protected from future damage. OGX also uses tiare essence (aka monoi oil) and vanilla bean extract to further boost shine, which makes the tropical-inspired scent smell even more delicious. Last, and best of all, this formula is sulfate-free, so it's safe for use on color-treated and/or chemically-processed hair.

2. The Best Budget-Friendly Coconut Oil Shampoo

Garnier Whole Blends Smoothing Shampoo
Amazon

The least expensive option on this list also happens to be a solid choice for all hair types, from fine to coarse. Garnier Whole Blends Smoothing Shampoo uses sustainably sourced coconut oil and cocoa butter extracts to leave hair smoother, shinier, and more manageable to deal with. Though it is formulated with sulfates, this Garnier shampoo still promises to fight frizz for up to 24 hours (that said, this probably isn't the shampoo for you if you dye your hair or get keratin treatments).

3. The Best Coconut Oil Shampoo For Curly Hair

SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo
Amazon

Whether you have defined curls or waves, the SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo will leave your hair shinier and full of bounce. This sulfate-free shampoo works into a creamy lather using a blend of hydrating ingredients that dry and/or curly hair will drink right up. In this formula, certified-organic shea butter moisturizes, coconut oil smooths and prevents frizz, hibiscus flower extract leaves hair softer, and hydrolyzed silk protein improves elasticity and shine. Plus, the coconut oil and hibiscus flower give the shampoo an addictive scent that several Amazon reviewers describe as "heavenly."

4. The Best Coconut Oil Shampoo For Scalp Relief

Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Moisture Boost Shampoo
Amazon

Head & Shoulders created their Royal Oils line specifically with black hair in mind though anyone with coarse, curly hair will benefit from its deeply cleansing, but intensely hydrating, abilities. The Royal Oils Moisture Boost Shampoo uses coconut oil as its superhero ingredient, which also gives it a yummy, coconut scent. While coconut oil is responsible for keeping both the hair and scalp moisturized, the formula also contains 1 percent pyrithione zinc to help eliminate dandruff and reduce itching. Just keep in mind, this formula does contain sulfates.

5. Best Value

Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Conditioning Shampoo (2-Pack)
Amazon

For less than $10, you get a two-pack of Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Conditioning Shampoo. But don't let the price tag fool you. Palmer's shampoo packs in powerful hair benefits with its combination of coconut oil, coconut fruit extract, and cocamide (which is made from the fatty acids of coconut oil). Monoi oil further helps nourish hair by sealing the cuticle, while hydrolyzed keratin strengthens hair and increases elasticity. Plus, this formula is sulfate-free, so it's safe for use on dyed and chemically-treated hair.

How To Block Someone On Tinder So They Don't See Your Profile When They're Swiping

For a while after my ex and I broke up,I was paranoid about seeing his profile appearwhenever I swiped on Tinder or Bumble.My fear was exacerbated by the fact that we met on Bumble, so there was no reason why he wouldn't go back on whenhe was single again. I never did seehis profile (andhe's dating someone now), but I still panickedevery time I saw a guy who looked like him or who shared his name. I longed to know how to block someone on Tinder before matching with them, if only to spareme the paranoia of having my ex's faceunexpectedly pop up on my screen when I was just trying to move the F on.

Unfortunately, you can only interact with someone on Tinder once you actually match with them. There's no function on Tinderwhere you can enter the names of people you want to block from coming across your profile beforethey come across it. There's also no way to predict that someone will come acrossyour profile and stop them from doing so before they do it.

The reality is, if someone is living in your city and you fall within each other's Discovery Settings, there's a chance that one of your profiles will pop up while the other is swiping on Tinder even if you guys are exes. The only way to guarantee thatsomeone's profile won't pop up while you're swiping is if youmet this personon Tinder, you both kept Tinder downloaded on your phones while you were dating, and then, when you two broke up, you went back on said Tinder account, and one of you Unmatched the other.

As a Tinder spokesperson explains to Elite Daily, "Unmatching on Tinder is straightforward and easy to do - just tap the flag in the top right corner of your screen when you're messaging the person you want unmatch. We take the safety and privacy of our users seriously, and the person you unmatched will not be notified that you've done so."

According to Tinder's FAQ page, Unmatching is a permanent action, so if someoneUnmatches you,your conversation with them will completely disappear, you won't be able to communicate with them ever again, and they won't come up while you are swiping. There is no option to "block" on Tinder, so Unmatching is the closest option.

Unfortunately, other than this slightly roundaboutmethod, though, you can't preventsomeone from seeing your profile before they match with you. You must match with someone first before there's any kindof interaction between you two, whether that'sa conversation or an Unmatch.

Wondering how exactly to Unmatch with someone, whether it's that pesky ex, or a new match who's harassing you, not taking no for an answer, being sexually explicit, or just irritatingyou? Simply go to your conversation with said person and click the flag on the top righthand side of the screen. You will see that you have the options to either "Report [NAME]" or "Unmatch." Click Unmatch.

Once you choose Unmatch, Tinder will ask you for thereason why you want to Unmatch this person. From there, you can select whichever optionyou feel is the most appropriate for your situation, including "inappropriate messages," "inappropriate photos," "feels like spam," "other," (you will be asked to elaborate if you select this one) and "no reason."

Done. Your match is Unmatched.

Reporting your match, which you are also more than welcome to do, will notify Tinder that this person is really, really pissing you off. And if enough people Report someone, that personcould be banned from the app. But Reporting someone won't Unmatch them, so you will have to select Unmatch after you Report.

So,if you're like me and you're panicking about finding your ex on dating apps, you'll just have to sit with the paranoia. The good news is, if you dosee them,you can always just swipe left. Problem solved.

BTS' "Make It Right" Remix Music Video With Lauv Will Make Everything Right

I will never get over BTS' Map of the Soul: Persona album. It's filled with bop after bop after bop, and although it only has seven songs, it's a solid album. Each track showcases BTS' versatility, as Map of the Soul: Persona dives into genres like pop, rock, rap, ballad, and R&B. BTS' B-side track "Make It Right," which was co-written by RM, J-Hope, Suga, and Ed Sheeran, is a fan-favorite song on Map of the Soul: Persona. The song has been out since April 12, but fans won't be getting over it anytime soon because BTS just released a remix of the track featuring Lauv, as well as a music video. You need to check out BTS' "Make It Right" remix music video with Lauv ASAP.

It's hard to imagine that the BTS ARMY only learned about the collaboration a mere day before the remix's release. BTS and Lauv only gave a fans a few hours to prepare for this amazing collaboration. At approximately 6 p.m. EST on Oct. 16, Lauv tweeted a picture of himself and BTS with the caption, "did I finally #makeitright?" and BTS followed up with their own tweet, telling Lauv, "You always #makeitright."

Y'all, I'm loving this new friendship that's blossoming before my eyes. Check out BTS and Lauv's tweets below.

Big Hit Entertainment then confirmed the collaboration at 5 a.m. EST on Oct. 17 exactly 24 hours before the song's release on Oct. 18.

Now that it's officially Oct. 18, the BTS ARMY has the "Make It Right" remix featuring Lauv and they've been bopping to it non-stop. Thankfully, most of the song is unchanged. The beat is the same and the second half is exactly like it is in the original. The only difference is the first verse and chorus, which has Lauv singing his own lyrics in English.

In case you haven't listened to the song yet (or just want to repeat it), you can listen to the "Make It Right" remix below.

Right? I love how BTS and Lauv kept most of the song the same. In addition to the remix, BTS also surprised fans with a music video for the "Make It Right" remix. The BTS ARMY will definitely get emotional over the video, as it seems to be dedicated to them. Throughout the video, you can see clips of fans at a BTS concert looking up at the BTS members, and you can also see BTS looking right back at their fans, which is so sweet.

Besides the concert clips, there's also an animation playing throughout the video that shows a story about a boy and a girl. According to a press release, this story was the motif of the original song.

You can watch the "Make It Right" remix music video below.

All in all, this is one heck of a cool remix and music video. BTS has collaborated with so many great artists these past few months, so I only have one question: Who's next?
