It’s Saturday night and your big bash is going swimmingly. You’re just going to grab a small plate of appetizers, and then it happens: You lose your drink in the sea of matching glasses, drink stirrers and beverages (hello, signature party cocktail. Thanks a lot.). Fret not! These easy-to-pull-together markers are foolproof. Some you can pull off at a moment’s notice (tape to the rescue!), while others require just a little prep before the party. All are so worth the effort. What are you waiting for? We’re ready for a drink!

1. Chalk It Up: What’s cuter than a mason jar cocktail? Ones with chalkboard paint drink labels. Just wipe and rewrite — it’s as simple as that. (via Modern Weddings Hawaii)

2. Bright + Bold: It’s just too easy. You can download a template for these markers and print ’em off on any color you want! Hello, perfect way to match your party colors. (via How About Orange)

3. Braid Away: It’s a friendship bracelet for your glass! Appropriate, eh? Just twist silk fabric of your choosing into this easy-to-slip-on drink marker. (via A Girl Who Makes)

4. Double Duty Straw: Have you ever seen a straw you’d rather sip on than these two? One tells you which drink is yours and the other is a double duty cocktail sipper and costume. (via Smitten on Paper)

5. Cool Clothespins: Leave a frame of labeled clothespins out for guests (and the bride and groom, obviously) so they can drink all night long with no worries of mixing up beverages. (via Rock My Wedding)

6. Bright Bracelets: Popsicle sticks, a glass of water to act as a mold and chalkboard paint is all you need for these DIY drink “bracelets.” (via Tiny Rotten Peanuts)

7. Peel and Stick: No stem? No problem. An inch of washi tape and a pen partner to create this deceivingly simple style-savvy statement. (Say that five times fast.) (via Jentertaining)

8. Foxy Tags: Nothing’s better than a personalized name tag for a wedding theme. This rugged Wyoming affair upped the ante by using different images of foxes as drink markers. (via Weddbook)

9. Straw Style: Pattern-pretty straws and tape make for a super fast and cute tag. The best part? You can make them ahead of time and let guests grab their straws as they pour their first sip. (via Design Fixation)

10. Tag It: Shipping tags take on a whole new life when updated with sparkly letters (initials for your guests’ names!) and are tied around the stem of a wine glass. You’re welcome. (via DIY Philanthropy)

11. Fringe Fun: These fringe-tastic drink tags step up the fun about 10 notches (trust us, we’re fun authorities). Go for orange, blue or any other color you think will make a statement. (via Squirrelly Minds)

Sam Asghari Speaks Out About Britney Spears Divorce After Keeping Mum On ‘The Traitors’

Sam Asghari just opened up about his relationship with Britney Spears on Kate and Oliver Hudson's podcast — which wouldn't be weird if he didn't have an alleged gag order not to speak about it during his time on The Traitors. Why is he able to talk about Britney now? And what did he say about her? We dug into it so you don't have to.

Here's what Sam Asghari said about Britney Spears post-divorce:

www.instagram.com

Sam Asghari and Britney Spears officially settled their divorce in May 2024, but Britney's story feels far from settled for fans (to say the least). Obviously this isn't Britney's only divorce, but it's one of her most controversial given how entrenched it was in the #FreeBritney movement and her conservatorship as a whole. As the movement picked up speed, some people looked at Sam differently, wondering what he knew (and when) about her conservatorship.

Well, now he's telling everyone the conservatorship was the "most difficult" part of their relationship on Oliver and Kate Hudson's "Sibling Revelry" podcast. He explained that he went from learning what a conservatorship even was to wondering, “Wait a minute. I thought I’m in America. What do you mean someone over the age of 18 needs permission from their parents?”

Sam explained that he did the "best thing" for Britney during that time — support her through the fight against her conservatorship. He noted that one of the "hardest things" about celebrity is how easily you can get taken advantage of. He said, "That damages you because those are the people that are closest to you."

He noted that "usually" you're more "vulnerable" to the people around you. Sam said, “They take an advantage because they think, you know, you owe something to them or something, which is so ridiculous."

So what do you think? Why would Sam be allowed to talk about his relationship with Britney now, but not on The Traitors? Let us know in the comments!

12 “Outdated” Bathroom Trends That Need To Go In 2025

Planning a bathroom renovation? You're in luck because you haven’t committed to any trends that are headed for a 2025 exit. Home design trends typically have a shelf life of about a decade, which aligns perfectly with the timeline for refreshing your space — especially if you're planning to upgrade for resale value. In 2025, staples like white subway tile, black-and-white farmhouse vibes, and ultra-modern frameless mirrors are making their grand exit, and good riddance. Taking their place are organic, earthy shapes and tones, bringing a warm, natural touch to modern bathroom design.

Scroll to see 12 outdated bathroom trends to ditch in 2025!

Terry Magallanes

1. Black & White Farmhouse

What to do instead: Over the past decade, this stark look dominated bathrooms, but it’s time to bring in some warmth and personality. The latest bathroom trends focus on natural materials like wood, stone, and linen, paired with earthy tones such as rich browns, deep greens, and soft rosy hues to create a cozy, inviting space. If you’re still drawn to the modern farmhouse aesthetic, give it a fresh update by incorporating vintage art and unfinished brass accents — subtle nods to the past with a modern, elevated twist.

Quark Studio

2. Frameless Mirrors

What to do instead: Framed mirrors add character and tie into your bathroom's aesthetic. Organic oval shapes, art deco-inspired curves, and frames made from materials like wood and brass, even blending the frame color into the wall's paint color, are becoming popular choices.

Vecislavas Popa

3. Carrara White Marble

What to do instead: This overdone material can look overly sterile, especially when it takes over a bathroom like this one. Instead, add earthy elements like artisanal zellige-style tiles from places like Zia Tile and Fireclay Tile, as well as unique marbles in jewel tones like red jasper.

Cottonbro Studio

4. Ornate Fixtures

What to do instead: An antique piece or two can add character and charm to a bathroom. This space feels overwhelmed by too many vintage elements and lacks sophistication. Instead, opt for clean-lined fixtures in matte black or brushed brass, pair them with natural stone countertops, and select a mirror and lighting with a more refined, architectural design.

Curtis Adams

5. Jacuzzi Tubs (And This Glass Block Window)

What to do instead: Freestanding tubs or spacious showers with a steam feature offer a more elegant and modern alternative to bulky jacuzzi tubs, which not only hog space but are also notoriously difficult to clean. The glass block window dates the bathroom's design even more. For a fresher, more open feel, enjoy the view and bring in natural light with a clear glass window if privacy isn’t a concern.

William LeMond

6. Tile Explosion

What to do instead: Give your bathroom a breather with some bare walls for a modern look. Combine tiles you love with painted walls, wood paneling, or textured finishes, and use them strategically, like in the shower or as a backsplash.

Sanibell BV

7. Vessel Sinks

What to do instead: Vessel sinks are leaving the trend sphere in 2025. (I'm also not a fan of pedestal sinks). Instead, opt for integrated sinks in stone or concrete for a seamless look, or choose under-mount sinks with a quartz or earth-toned marble countertop.

Phil Hearing

8. Generic Overhead Lighting

What to do instead: The classic "boob lights" and generic ceiling mounts often seen in rentals are overstaying their welcome. Instead, elevate your space with softer, layered lighting or modern sconces that provide a warm, flattering glow.

9. Traditional Bath Mats

What to do instead: Washable rugs made from natural wool or cotton are emerging as decor statement in bathrooms, offering unique colors and eye-catching prints. If you're partial to a traditional bathmat, consider keeping it tucked away until you need it, rather than displaying it, to keep your bath from feeling outdated.

Jon Stebbe

10. White Subway Tile

What to do instead: White subway tile in traditional brick or herringbone patterns are on their way out. They're overdone and a bit sterile. Shades like sage green, dusty pink, warm clay, or earthy tones can make the space feel more welcoming.

Point3D Commercial Imaging Ltd.

11. Faux Wood Tile

What to do instead: Anything pretending to be what it's not is out for 2025. Faux wood tile or vinyl can make your home look cheap and outdated. Instead, choose natural stones, porcelain, and cement tiles, or go for an actual wood flooring that is protected for moisture.

Jean van der Meulen

12. Overly Themed

What to do instead: Avoid being too gimmicky in your bathroom decor with a theme like beach, western, or industrial. Draw inspiration from nature, use organic materials like natural stone, and incorporate greenery with potted plants. Here's inspiration for a coastal home if you're into the beach vibes!
