5. Minimalist Greenery: If you’re throwing a shower for a gal who’s all about that minimalist greenery trend, go for delicate macrame decor and a dash of eucalyptus with soft tones throughout. Pair with some vintage glassware for the ultimate finishing touch. (via Ashley Kelemen / Green Wedding Shoes)

6. Eclectic Fiesta: The color possibilities are endless with this theme. Mix up some margaritas, gather up cool glassware, and voila — a fiesta bridal shower! Well, you’ll prob want a piñata too. (via Dylan Kethley / Every Last Detail)

8. Rustic Garden Party: Who said you need a garden for a garden party? Dress up your backyard or patio with thrifty gems and use accessories like old watering cans to achieve the charming, classy look. (via Maria Mack/Ruffled)

Hilary Duff Is Housing Mandy Moore & Family During LA Fires: "Altadena Strong."

Amid the tragedy of the LA fires, neighbors are opening their homes to one another. In addition to AirBnb offering temporary housing and various YMCAs and Red Cross locations opening their doors, victims are finding safety with friends and family — and that includes your favorite celebrities. Like Hilary Duff and husband Matthew Koma, who opened their home to Mandy Moore, Taylor Goldsmith, and their family.

Here's what Mandy Moore and Griffin Goldsmith have said about Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma — and the LA wildfires.

Despite losing everything, Griffin is touched by Hilary Duff & Matthew Koma.

A post shared by Dawes (@dawestheband)

After Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith's home was affected by the wildfires in Altadena (they lost their garage, music studio, and back house), Mandy's brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith revealed the family had been taken in by Hilary Duff.

"All of this so overwhelming," he said on Instagram. "Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward. Not to mention they are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began. I will never be able to thank them adequately. This is the kindest act any human could do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known."

"I’ve never been so moved in my life," he continues. "We are completely blown away. I can’t talk or think about it without crying. Like I said there aren’t words to describe how I feel. I’m doing my best. You all have completely changed what the picture of our future in Los Angeles looks like."

Mandy Moore shared the GoFundMe for Griffin and Kit on Instagram, writing in a since-deleted post that the couple "lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire."

"With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever," Mandy says (via People). "Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living. It’s all so much. So many have asked how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time … Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild."

And when people criticized her decision to share the GoFundMe link? "Kindly F OFF."

"People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic," she continues. "Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too."

And the main part of Mandy Moore's home is still "mostly intact."

A post shared by Mandy Moore (@mandymooremm)

The Princess Diaries actress shared photos from her family's property, revealing that the main part of their home is still standing. "It’s not livable but mostly intact," she said on Instagram January 10. "We lost Taylor and griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong."

21 Adorable Spring Baby Shower Themes

Planning a baby shower takes a few things: the perfect gift, some healthy baby shower snacks and, of course, an epic theme that packs a cohesive look. Stuck on how to make *this* baby shower different and unique from the last few that you've thrown? Let the spring season guide you to fresh new trends, and go for a theme that the mommy-to-be will love. With just a couple trips to the craft store and a little DIY action, you'll be able to pull together a baby shower theme in no time. Scroll through to check out 21 of our favorites!

Tropical Theme

A tropical theme is a no-brainer now that the weather has *finally* decided to work with us. Add mini pineapples to your tablescape and a few painted balloons above to make your space festive AF. The color scheme is simple yet cohesive, bringing greenery, pink and (of course) gilded accents to highlight elements of nature. (via Studio DIY)

Watercolor Theme

When in doubt, adding watercolored everything to a party is totally the way to go. After you've finalized the menu, paint a sign with watercolors and hand letter the options you're offering. (via 100 Layer Cake-let)

Mexican Soiree Theme

If cravings of chips and guac, tacos and all things Tex-Mex are all the baby mama can think about, then a Mexican soiree *has* to be in store. Use printer paper and scissors to DIY this banner, and head to your local farmers market to liven up the tablescape with bright flowers, cacti and gold accents. Your guests will be so blown away they might forget about the food… for a minute. (via Style Me Pretty)

Boho Chic Theme

Add a boho vibe to the shower by using a natural color palette and putting succulents on the tables. If you opt to DIY this darling sign, the new mom can take it home to decorate the nursery after the party. (via Baby Shower Ideas 4 U)

Twinkle Twinkle Theme

If you're looking for something a little more classic, get inspired from one of your favorite childhood nursery rhymes or lullabies. Decorate with moons and stars, and your Twinkle Twinkle theme will be absolutely dreamy. (via Beau Coup)

Popsicle Theme

Now that it's spring, it's time to put away the hot chocolate mix and break out the popsicle molds. Create a popsicle theme for your baby shower by DIYing this jumbo garland using pool noodles. Bonus: Pool noodles are super budget-friendly. (via Oh Happy Day)

Gilded + Girly Theme

Hosting a girly baby shower is so simple. All you need is gold-colored anything, a few pops of pink and a couple dozen donuts. Your guests will thank you when their Insta-game gets kicked up a notch from the party pics, especially if the guest of honor has a hashtag. (via My Best Friend's Blog)

Confetti Theme

Confetti is, hands down, the clearest sign that it's time to celebrate. Babies are *definitely* a call for celebration, so sprinkle your space with confetti and consider your theme complete. (via Studio DIY)

Peter Rabbit Theme

It's a baby shower, which is the *best* time to go crazy with the cuteness. Pull off a Peter Rabbit theme by hanging a DIYed garland, topping your cake with a bunny and whipping up adorable rabbit cookies around. (via Hello Naomi)

Geometric Theme

The geometric trend may have started a couple years back, but it has no intention of slowing down any time soon. Add your favorite geometric shapes to the baby shower decor for a modern look that will have your guests oohing and ahhing. (via Piccoli Effi)

Tea Party Theme

This outdoor tea party is presentation GOALS. Hang jumbo balloons and streamers from the trees and deck out your tablescape with bouquets of flowers to create the prettiest tea party your guests will ever attend. (via 100 Layer Cake-let)

Sweet as Can Bee Theme

Honey, this theme is about as sweet as it gets. Get the look with a yellow tablecloth and flowers, and then, finish it off with accents of bumble bees and honey. Too. Cute. (via Pizzazzerie)

Backyard Baby Shower Theme

Take a gamble with the weather and go for a backyard baby shower. On the hunt for the perfect party favor for this theme? Wrap succulents in burlap to create a favor that's cheap, easy AND pretty. (via 100 Layer Cake-let)

Aloha Theme

Channel your inner hula girl and create an epic Aloha-themed shower. Complete with laser cut place cards and oodles of palm fronds, it's safe to say your pals will feel like they somehow ended up at a Hawaiian luau. (via 100 Layer Cake)

Modern Aztec Theme

Aztec-themed anything never gets old. Top off your themed shower with this hand-painted “welcome" sign. Not only will you have the most creative baby shower in town, but you'll also get the chance to put your DIY skills to the test. (via Kara's Party Ideas)

Modern + Bright Theme

Planning a baby shower can get a little on the pricey side. Instead of going for an out-there theme, opt for something where you can use what you've already got. Hang oversized balloons with tassels and use all of your bright decorations to create this modern and bright vibe. (via Creative Juice)

Paper Flower Theme

Fresh flowers aren't your thing? No prob. DIY a bunch of paper flowers and decorate your space with them. It'll give a bright and springy theme to the shower that the mommy will love, plus she and guests can take home the giganto flowers for their nurseries or reading nooks. (via Icing Designs)

Modern Animal Theme

Instead of going with classic animal figurines to decorate the shower, choose something a little more contemporary. This B+W animal cake is the perfect way to add some pizzazz to the party. Plus, you can't go wrong with mixing black and white and your favorite rich colors. (via 100 Layer Cake-let)

Simple + Natural Theme

Does the mommy-to-be go for more simple, natural elements? Then a clean and organic theme is right up her alley. Pick up fresh flowers, crisp white linens and natural decorations to keep it classy. (via 100 Layer Cake-let)

Watercolor Safari Theme

Y'all, this isn't your average safari theme. Go wild with framed watercolor animal prints and a greenery-topped cake for an anything-but-basic decor scheme. This shower is perfect for moms who've decided not to find out the sex of the baby. (via POPSUGAR)

Pineapple of My Eye Theme

Turn a fruit into a theme so that mommy-to-be can get pumped to meet the fruits of her own labor. Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but the pineapple theme is as fun to brainstorm as it is to carry out. Create custom napkins, cocktail glasses and drink stirrers to make your pineapple baby shower next-level. (via Pizzazzerie)

12 "Outdated" Kitchen Trends You Should Ditch In 2025 (But You Probably Have)

Kitchen renovations are no joke – they're a major investment, so you’ll want to think twice before committing to fleeting trends — especially for big-ticket items like cabinets, countertops, and appliances. I’ll admit it: I’m still without a backsplash five years later because I can’t commit! While it’s perfectly fine to follow your heart if you love a particular look, kitchens can quickly feel outdated when you lean too heavily on short-lived fads. To help you create a timeless, stylish space, we’ve rounded up outdated kitchen trends to avoid — and easy ways to modernize if your kitchen is stuck in the past.

Scroll to see if you have these outdated kitchen trends in your house right now!

Mark McCammon

1. All-White Kitchens

The all-white kitchen craze has officially run its course, often feeling cold and sterile — like say a doctor’s office. Today’s kitchens are all about warmth and character, with palettes in soft neutrals, earthy greens, or bold, moody shades like oxblood and midnight blue. Choose a color that speaks to you for a timeless, inviting space you'll love for years to come.

2. Granite Countertops

This early 2000s trend has been overdone and feels so dated now. Marble, sleek quartz, even butcher block are more classic choices.

Curtis Adams

3. Ornate Cabinetry

The color and detail of this traditional kitchen feels drab and dated. Instead, look for flat-panel or Shaker-style cabinets with clean, minimal lines.

Terry Magallanes

4. Farmhouse Decor

This kitchen is a lesson is don'ts. The grey vinyl flooring (especially hideous!), farmhouse stools, and white cabinetry hail from a decades-old trend that needs to disappear in 2025.

Home Depot

5. Glass Mosaic Tiles

Glass mosaics, popular in the 2000s and 2010s, tend to lean toward a transitional aesthetic, which is the opposite of an organic, minimalist, or vintage-inspired design kitchen are craving now. The grout lines are bit difficult to clean too between all the tiny tiles. Zellige tile or a slab of marble are a more sophisticated look for today's kitchens.

Level 23 Media

6. Black & White

The stark contrast between black and white can come across as harsh and overly dramatic, a look that peaked in the 2010s. The farmhouse sign doesn't help warm it up either. Soften the look with earthy, natural tones.

Curtis Adams

7. Subway Tile

Subway tile is classic, so there’s no need to rip it out if it still brings you joy. However, the white subway tile paired with dark grout has overstayed its welcome. This overdone trend became so ubiquitous that it lost its charm and individuality, leaving kitchens looking more cookie-cutter than full of character.

Amazon

8. Industrial Lighting

This nod to the past needs to, sorry, stay in the past. Look for organic, natural forms and lighting that reflects your kitchen's unique aesthetic.

Shutterstock

9. Tuscan Style

This rustic kitchen feels dated with its heavy, ornate features like dark wood cabinetry and trim. Go for clean, brighter spaces.

Shutterstock

10. Tile Countertops

Natural stone, marble, and wood are trending for 2025. Grout-filled countertops like this one are not. Time to go!

Max Vakhtbovycn

11. Moroccan Mosaic Tile

Kitchens are becoming elegant places to cook, eat, and gather. This busy design can look cheap. The white mid-century Eames-style chairs, sorry to say, are also out.

Andrea Davis

12. Barn Doors

Using barn doors between the kitchen and other spaces is a look that is officially out. They proved to be not that functional and the look is now dated and too kitschy. Buh bye!
