You Might like This Makeup Tutorial Site More Than the Kardashians’

Beth Wischnia
Sep 30, 2015

The Kardashians recently launched their own websites, complete with a behind-the-scenes peek into their lives — beauty routines included. Their makeup tutorials have been buzzed about for several weeks now and even though you have to pay a small monthly fee to access most of them, people want to understand just how Kylie gets her signature pout or what Khloe’s secret beauty weapon is. Honestly, we weren’t THAT surprised about the Kardashian sisters’ tutorials — and the polarizing reviews that came along with them — but we were surprised when this actress-comedian-female empowerer debuted something similar for her site.

Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls just stepped into makeup tutorial land, but their take is a lot different from Kim + krew: it’s in the form of a new show called The Other Side hosted by makeup artist Annamarie Tendler. The (free) show focuses on guests “as they explore the spooky, supernatural good times that come with doing make-up, telling ghost stories and obsessing about Leonardo DiCaprio.” Told you it was a littttle different than the Kardashians’, although we would love to hear their ghost stories, too.

First up on The Other Side is funny gal Nicole Byer from MTV’s Girl Code, who sets out with Annamarie to achieve the perfect red lip. *Spoiler alert*: Annamarie’s trick is using a lip liner that’s a different color than the lipstick — forget everything you’ve heard about trying to find the perfect lip liner/lipstick color match — and in this case, she’s goes for a red pencil with blue undertones paired with an orange-y red lipstick. Mind = blown.

In the four minute episode, Annamarie said she doesn’t believe in beauty rules, which we love — people should feel free to experiment without feeling restricted because of what they “think” is right or wrong when it comes to makeup. But, in the midst of all the makeup talk, the ladies dish on something a bit more serious: ghosts. More importantly, if they would be down to date a ghost — and if so, which ghost? Let’s be honest: nothing goes better with lipstick tips than sharing ghost boyfriend goals.

Are you going to tune into The Other Side? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

8 Popular (& Totally Adorable) Dog Names For 2025

Choosing the perfect name for your new furry friend is arguably just as tough as picking one for your baby.

It can't just be cute and reflect your pup's personality. It should also be a name that you don't mind repeating countless times (especially during training) and has some nickname opportunities.

We've all heard of the classics, like Buster, Jack, and Lassie, too, and while they're solid picks, you may want something a bit more fresh and modern.

So, here are some of the top trending dog names of 2025 that'll help your latest family addition stand out.

Scroll to find out some of the most popular dog names are for this year!

1. Tucker

Torsten Dettlaff

Tucker is a friendly pet name that's steadily gained popularity over the years, perfect for a pup with a playful personality and spunky attitude.

It has a warm, timeless feel and can work for a canine of any size. Plus, it can be shortened to just "Tuck" as a nickname.

2. Willow

Graceful and inspired by nature, the name Willow is ideal for dogs that have a calm or more serene demeanor. It evokes images of the beautiful willow tree and offers a sense of elegance and tranquility.

Whether you have a quiet pup that loves to curl up by your side or a playful furry friend with a peaceful vibe, Willow helps blend softness with strength.

3. Billie

Alotrobo

Billie is a trendy and fun dog name that's gained extra fame thanks to the iconic Billie Eilish.

She's become a cultural icon, known for her bold and unique style, and her name is great for pet owners seeking something cool, modern, and adventurous.

4. Sadie

Aleksandra Nowicka

If you have a dog with a friendly disposition who loves attention and affection, Sadie may be the name you've been searching for. It's sweet, has a gentle ring to it, and gives off a vintage charm.

Sadie feels both classic and contemporary at the same time, offering a perfect blend of simplicity and character.

5. Lasso

Ylanite Koppens

Western-themed baby names are on the rise in 2025, and apparently, so are Western-inspired dog names. Lasso is bold, connoting a sense of fun and adventure, making it ideal for dogs that are spirited and always ready for action.

This choice is a bit unconventional, but for pet owners who want something more eccentric, it's right on the money.

6. Ollie

Anna Shvets

Ollie is a cheerful name that works well for dogs with fun-loving temperaments. The name Oliver has been associated with peace and friendship, and when it's shortened to Ollie, it takes on a more casual, approachable vibe.

Not to mention, it's distinctive, easy to call out, and sounds pretty adorable when given to young pups.

7. Bailey

Garfield Besa

Originally a last name, Bailey has become a popular first name for dogs since it has a gentle yet strong vibe. It's gender-neutral and can fit both energetic canines and pups with a calmer attitude.

Bailey, which is of English origin, also has a soft, balanced sound that's excellent when training.

8. Finn

Last but certainly not least is Finn. While this name may be only one syllable, it's packed with spirit and charisma. Typically shortened from longer names like Finnegan or Finley, Finn has a simple yet strong feel.

It's a stellar option for active dogs that enjoy exploring and sometimes get into a bit of mischief due to their curious side.

9 Gorgeous (& Easy) Dining Room Ideas You’ll Love

Dining rooms today are becoming less formal and more flexible, often doubling as workspaces, reading nooks, or casual lounges. The old fussy interior design rules no longer apply — it’s a space where you can experiment and play with aesthetic ideas like vintage charm with a modern twist or rustic warmth with a bit of minimalist sleekness. From moody, art-filled spaces to light and airy rooms with organic elements, the key is to creating a space that feels cozy and inviting for hosting and everyday use.

Here are 10 stunning dining room ideas to totally reinvent your space!

1. Banquette Seating

Michael P.H. Clifford

Built-in banquettes helps maximize space and create a cozy environment for dining, kind of like living room meets dining area. Kirsten Blazek of a1000xbetter, used her magic to turn a gloomy galley kitchen into a bright and airy space for dining in. "We were able to provide not just a beautiful kitchen, but one that was much more functional as well," says Kirsten.

Serena & Lily

You don't have to splurge on a custom built-in banquette either. Find a stand-alone one from places like Interior Define and West Elm. A sweet loveseat like this one from Serena & Lily also makes guests feel like they can stay a while.

2. Marble Tables

Anthropologie

Marble is making a statement across walls, tables, and accessories, giving dining rooms a regal touch. Paired with this sculptural wavy banquette, the classic stone takes on a fresh, modern edge with the Anthropologie Kanta Square Marble Dining Table.

3. Striped Wallpaper

Alice Palmer & Co.

Stripes are making a bold impact across walls, tablescapes, and even upholstered chairs, adding a cute and carefree vibe. This classic pattern from Alice Palmer & Co keeps the space effortlessly stylish and inviting too.

4. Toile Wallpaper

Pottery Barn

Classic patterns like toile are making a comeback, giving dining rooms a timeless, storybook charm. I love this option from Pottery Barn!

5. Velvet Seating

CB2

CB2 Hank Tufted Light Blue Velvet Dining Chair

Velvet is another way designers are warming up the dining space, while still keeping them elegant. This velvet dining chair designed by Caleb Zipperer takes cues from classic Italian designs of the 1960s and 1970s, upholstered in a stunning soft blue velvet.

6. Vintage Furniture

James & James

Antique hutches, sideboards, and dining tables are making a comeback, adding a layer of history and character to modern dining rooms. I especially love round pedestal tables to create a warm, intimate setting where everyone feels included in the conversation.

7. Color Mixing

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Winton Lacquered Dining Table

Neutrals will always exude a timeless elegance, but a colorful dining room brings an undeniable energy and warmth. From bold-painted walls to colorful chairs and tables — like this table from Anthropologie — and statement artwork, color can transform the space into a lively, inviting hub for gathering and chit-chat.

8. Organic Materials & Shapes

Lulu & Georgia

Playing with sculptural minimalism, organic shapes and subtle hues can transform a dining space into a work of art —where form dominates over bold color. Look for curvy silhouettes, fluid lines, and natural textures to get the look. These Sarah Sherman Samuel Whit Dining Chairs are perfect for that!

9. Bold & Moody Walls

Deep hues in greens (like this one from Farrow & Ball!), blues, and reds create a cozy and eye-catching dining space you'll love too.
