This Chart Will Tell You What Hairstyle to Get Next

Put down the scissors. Before you decide to rock the baby bangs or try an undercut, let’s reconsider your options. A new season is upon us, and you’re not the only one itching to update your look. A haircut can be a pretty big commitment, and the most successful transformations take your face shape into account. Here to save the day is an infographic from Philip James Salon that will help you decide what hairstyle is best for your unique features. Plus, there are some fun facts about how your face shape reflects your personality — thrown in just for fun.

If you have a heart-shaped face like Reese Witherspoon, flowy looks soften the angles of your face. But a short cut can highlight your gorgeous cheekbones. Any cut that’s fuller at the bottom will look great, though, since it’ll balance out the width of your forehead.

Have an oblong face like Sarah Jessica Parker? Long hair or too much volume at the top can add unwanted length to your face. A layered bob or flirty bangs would look perfect on you. Remember SJP’s curly bob on Sex and the City? How adorable was she?

For those of you always getting mistaken for Cameron Diaz, longer hair can make your face seem less full. Pixie cuts can be tricky since they can add more width to your face. But you can’t go wrong with side-swept bangs and flowing waves.

If you have an oval face like Jennifer Aniston, you have the most common face shape. Shaggy, medium haircuts look great on you, as would any kind of short haircut. Your face is so balanced, you can basically rock any look — even The Rachel.

A square face like Rosario Dawson is a beautiful thing. You’re one of the few who look amazing with epically long hair. But an angled bob can look great, as long as the edges soften your strong jawline.

Dax Shepard Asked Oscar Nominee Cynthia Erivo About Going To The Bathroom...For Some Reason

The Wicked moviepress tour has been a truly beautiful thing to witness. Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo have cried in almost every interview because of how much they love their characters and each other, and it seems like working on this project really did heal something in them. So, after the sincerity of their interviews, I was really taken aback when I learned Dax Shepard had Cynthia Erivo on his Armchair Expert podcast...and chose to ask her about going to the bathroom?

Keep reading for what Dax Shepard had to say and, like me, wonder why he asked it in the first place.

On an episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Dax Shepard asked Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo if her famously long nails make it difficult to wipe when she goes to the bathroom. “I knew you would ask that,” Cynthia responds, saying “no one’s afraid” to ask such an intimate question.

“My answer is that nobody uses just their fingers to wipe their backside,” she says. “You use tissue, correct? And you wipe!”

When he asked if she was annoyed or offended by the question, Cynthia admits she's "annoyed by it."

“I'm, like, 'Come on, guys,' ” she says. “But I get it, but it's also, like, ‘I'm a functioning adult, and I've never walked around smelling like, you know…'"

The actress has proved she's nothing if not honest this fall, going viral for saying "thank goodness" the actresses who auditioned with her for Glinda didn't land the role and for vocalizinghow much a fan edit of the Wicked movie poster offended her (she later admitted she should have texted her friends instead of posting on social media).

Now, this question was very weird to me for a few reasons. Not only does it have nothing to do with the film, but Dax asking Cynthia about her bathroom habits gives me a similar feeling to the one I got watching that male interviewer ask Scarlett Johansson about her underwear during Avengers: Age of Ultron press. Just...what is the reason? Plus, the fact Cynthia has also been vocal about how much she values her nails as a part of Black culture only makes the question (and the fact the nails feel like, no pun intended, the butt of the joke) weirder.

"Here’s the thing," Cynthia tells Dax before switching topics. "There are people who do not have nails who need to check how they’re wiping." Get 'em girl!

4 Go-To Protein Shakes for Breakfast OR Lunch

Getting a healthy dose of protein to kick off your day is important, but mornings are hectic and we aren’t all pros when it comes to putting together a protein-packed breakfast. Same goes for lunch. The solution? Protein shakes! Get your blender out, because these four shakes are so easy and tasty, you’ll be rotating them for the next few weeks.

Do you love banana nut muffins, but resent the carbs and sugars that go along with them? We totally get that, which is why we are SO in love with this shake that provides your protein, a dose of potassium, and some heart-healthy fats. You can even swap between nut milks and water for less calories without affecting the yummy flavor. So sip away and enjoy that nutty banana goodness sans guilt, friends!

Needless to say, this shake is berry, berry delicious. Whether you’re more partial to blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or strawberries, pick your very own blend to toss into this mix along with Omega-3-rich flaxseed, iron-boosting spinach, and hefty protein.

Many of us covet the sweet and nutty combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but it’s not something we allow ourselves to indulge in often — until now. With a generous amount of chocolate protein powder, cocoa bits, a banana, and some creamy PB, the dessert we covet most has turned into a legit meal option that is packed with nutrients. Aww yesss.

Blueberries are freaking fabulous. Their fiber, folate, vitamin C and B6, and potassium content make them a huge supporter of a healthy heart. Let’s also highlight the fact that it’s a total brain booster. Add to that some walnuts with their neuroprotective compounds, some flaxseed, and some protein, and you’ve got a recipe for a focused and productive day.

Follow us on Pinterest for more protein-packed meal ideas.

The New 'Babygirl' Trailer Is Out & I Can't Believe I Watched It During Work Hours

Nicole Kidman is, as the kids say, mothering. She's giving fans plenty of movies and TV shows to pick from while we wait for the next seasons of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers — A Family Affair, Expats, The Perfect Couple (and the AMC intro, of course). Her newest movie Babygirl comes from A24, and the steamy drama is mixing work and pleasure. Pour yourself a glass of wine for this one, folks.

Scroll down to learn more about Babygirl — and to watch the HOT new trailer!

What is the plot of Babygirl?

A24

Babygirl Plot

In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays Romy, a powerful CEO struggling to hold her perfect persona together. Her marriage to Jacob has never provided with much pleasure, despite the fact he's caring and artistic. But when Romy meets a young intern named Samuel, and feels immediately drawn to him, the two begin a torrid affair.

And filming scenes with Harry Dickinson got so intense, Kidman said she literally had to take breaks. “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,'” she told the Sun. “Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!”

But the fact the movie was made by women empowered Kidman — and gave her a sense of freedom. "Doing this subject matter in the hands of the woman that wrote the script, that's directing it and is a really great actress herself — we became one in a weird way, which I'd never had with a director before," Kidman says in a statement. "When you're working with a woman on this subject matter, you can share everything with each other.”

"I really decided in the beginning, I want to make a sexual film, just as sexual as all these films that I've always admired so much," adds writer-director-producer Halina Reijn, "but now I'm going to do it completely through female eyes. What does that mean and what does that look like?”

When is the Babygirl release date?

A24

Babygirl Release Date

Babygirl made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but you can watch the movie in theaters December 25, 2024.

Who's in the Babygirl cast?

A24

Babygirl Cast

The cast of Babygirl includes Nicole Kidman, Harris Dickinson, Sophie Wilde, and Antonio Banderas.

What has Nicole Kidman said about making Babygirl?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Nicole Kidman revealed Babygirl is the most "exposing" film she's done because she's “made some films that are pretty exposing, but not like this.”

“It left me raggedm" Kidman says. "At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it...This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”

“I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,” she continues. “I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on. What have I just done? Where did I go? What did I do?”

What does babygirl energy mean?

A24

"Babygirl" is a term of endearment that's usually applied to a man (you've probably heard it describe Pedro Pascal or Paul Mescal). When someone is giving babygirl energy, they're kind, cute, and disarming. And considering Babygirl plays with power dynamics, we could be guessing who the "babygirl" in question is up until the very end.
