A few years ago, blogger Aaron Hutcherson from The Hungry Hutch teamed up with Meiko Drew of Meiko and the Dish to host a Black History Month Virtual Potluck. In an article on Tasting Table, Hutcherson wrote: "This virtual potluck is our small part to show society that 'black food' is more than fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens (though there's some of that too)." A number of bloggers created one dish for the occasion, and that means that you can try something new every day. And we're totally here for the diverse cuisines featuring African, Caribbean, Southern, and Creole recipes. We're fixing you a plate so sit back and relax because you're definitely in for a delicious meal.

While we impatiently wait for the Fourth Wingcast rumors to be confirmed (eek!), we have even better news of another must-see fantasy adaptation — the Children of Blood and Bone movie cast is here! Not only will this book-turned-movie premiere in theaters, but it's legendary cast includes greats like Viola Davis and Idris Alba. This Tomi Adeyemi book is a magical fantasy full of deep messages about culture and belonging that made it to our best books to read list last year, so you know we can't wait for this film!

Want to know more? Here's who else joined the cast, what fans think, and when you can officially see this highly-anticipated movie!

Scroll to find out everything you need to know about the Children of Blood and Bone movie!

What is 'Children of Blood and Bone' about?

Amazon

Children of Blood and Bone follows young Zélie Adebola as she fights to reclaim the magic that made her people wise and powerful. Her own mother was a Reaper, but lost her life the day all the magic was stolen via orders of a merciless and vengeful king. She partners with her brother Tzain and a rebellious princess to right the wrongs of history even if it means risking their lives.

Who's in the 'Children of Blood and Bone' movie cast?

What has Tomi Adeyomi said about the cast and who's directing Children of Blood and Bone?

Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Tomi Adeyemi shared the announcement January 23 on TikTok, and she was all smiles as she shared the news with her fans. Variety reports her inspiration for writing her Orisha series was a result of being "motivated by anger" after watching The Hunger Games and seeing the negativity surrounding the casting.

“I’m the kind of person who gets motivated by anger," Adeyemi shared with EW. "So I was like, ‘Oh man, I’m going to write a story that’s so good and so Black that everyone’s going to have to read it even if you’re racist.' That became my writing mission.”

It's a good thing screenwriter and director Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King, The Old Guard, The Secret Lives of Bees) is set to bring her creative insights to the Children of Blood and Bone movie. She said, "I am so honored and excited to bring Tomi’s ‘Children of Blood and Bone’ and the vibrant world of Orisha to life (via Variety).

In her opinion, she feels the cast "reflects the whole of the diaspora," stating "this is where our magic lies."

What are fans saying about the 'Children of Blood and Bone' cast reveal?

Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Based on the comments on Adeyemi's cast announcement video, fans have mixed feelings. One comment said, "just saw amandla and let out the deepest sigh 🙃" while another person wrote, "Is this real?!?!?!??!?! This cast is FANTASTIC!!!!"

But seriously, when can we see Idris Elba in 'Children of Blood and Bone'? 

Matt Winkelmeyer

We regret to inform you that you'll have to wait to see Idris Elba as Lekan because the Children of Blood and Bone movie won't premiere until January 15, 2027!

Did you know there are 7 types of rest that can help you relax better over time? Ever since I've started focusing on them, I've been craving the nights I'm able to get 8 hours of sleep. I'm not always successful, so I decided to ask mindfulness and meditation teacher Dora Kamu of Headspace and therapist and clinical social work Kiana Shelton, LCSW of Mindpath Health for their expert opinions.

Scroll to see the 8 key habits people who sleep 8 hours a night keep:

Vlada Karpovich

1. Meditate daily

Meditation is more than saying "ohm" while sitting with your legs crossed. While deep breathing does help to reset our nervous system, meditating is a way to help quiet our minds. Shelton says, "By working on reducing stress and anxiety, people can mitigate many issues that disrupt sleep" because "high stress levels can lead to overthinking and worrying," according to Kamu.

2. Bask In The Sun

Kamu says, "Morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which signals to your body when to wake and sleep. Aim for at least 10 minutes of sunlight early in the day to reset your internal clock." You can sit on your porch or balcony while drinking a nice cup of coffee or tea before starting your work day.

In the words of Sheryl Crowe, "I'm gonna soak up the sun. I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up."

3. Go for daily walks

There's a reason why you see so many people talking about their love for hikes and daily walks. Not only can it help you reset during a busy day, it's generally a great way to connect to nature. Feeling the sun and breeze on your skin is a welcomed reprieve if you're otherwise glued to your computer screen during work.

Kamu says, "Exercise can promote a good night’s sleep. You don’t need to overdo it either. A brisk 30-minute walk or gentle yoga can significantly improve sleep quality." I use the Headspace app sometimes and have even listened to mindful meditations if I'm alone.

4. Start journaling your thoughts

Kamu says aside from "mindfulness practices like meditation" or "deep breathing", journaling is a great way to "keep your mind calm and clear." Don't overthink whether you're supposed to be formal or informal either. All that's required are your unfiltered thoughts or how you feel in any moment.

5. Limit your caffeine intake

You and I love coffee, right? Kudos if it's a yummy cold brew that energizes us! But, Shelton and Kamu believe being mindful of what we're drinking throughout the day can help us get 8 hours of sleep. Why? "Your food and beverage choices can impact your sleep," Kamu warns. Her advice is to "avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and sugary drinks...to set yourself up for better rest."

Concerning caffeine, Shelton knows some of us have bad habits. "...while many of us may stop drinking coffee after the morning, caffeine is often present in favorite sodas and other beverages. Caffeine can wake the body up, making it harder to fall asleep." You know the beloved soda you just have to drink as a late 'pick-me-up?' It's likely confusing your body.

6. Skip Heavy Meals Before Bed

Kamu mentioned this earlier, but she says "what we consume can have a big impact on how we sleep." She highly suggests you skip "caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime" because they can "work against your nighttime wind-down." If you're craving something to drink or munch on, she recommends "a soothing herbal tea or light snack."

Ivan Samkov

7. Keep screen time to a minimum before bed

If experts have said it once, they'll say it again: people who get 8 hours of sleep are limiting their screen time before bed. Shelton says, "...they avoid cell phones and TV, stopping the use of electronic devices 30–60 minutes before bed." Although it doesn't seem 'blue' to us, Kamu says "the blue light from screens can trick your brain into thinking it's still daytime" which disrupts "your natural rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep."

She adds, "Give your devices a bedtime, too — try putting them away 2-3 hours before you turn in. If that feels like a stretch, dim your phone’s light or switch to dark mode to ease the strain on your eyes."

KATRIN BOLOVTSOVA

8. Have A Consistent Bedtime

I've always heard the importance of kids having a routine they follow, but did you know we need to have them too? Kamu says, "As creatures of habit, our bodies thrive on consistency. A steady bedtime routine helps regulate the body’s sleep-wake cycle, preparing your mind and body for rest." She says you can "think of it as a nightly ritual to signal, 'It’s time to unwind.'"

Her tips are to:

  • Practice yoga nidra to relax and reset
  • Read a calming book to settle your thoughts
  • Take a warm shower or soak in a hot bath to soothe your muscles and invite restfulness (my favorite recommendation!)
Shelton also says, "Even on weekends, people who get the proper amount of sleep tend to go to bed around the same time regardless of the day of the week."

Shelton says, "One of the most impactful changes is to stop sacrificing sleep. Many people feel that nighttime is the only time they have to themselves, a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination (RBP). This mindset not only reduces the time available for sleep but also disrupts the body’s ability to regulate sleep hormones, such as melatonin."

In other words, prioritize your health so you can get the rest you need!

Thin Mints are undeniably the best Girl Scout cookie flavor, which is why I’m so pumped to hear that Wendy’s is giving their regular Frosty roster a tasty upgrade in lieu of Girl Scout cookie season. That’s right – there’s a Thin Mints Frosty on the way, and I can already tell it’s going to be ahh-mazing!

Read on for everything we know about the Wendy’s Thin Mints Frosty.


Wendy's

Announced on January 27, 2025, Wendy’s is officially teaming up with Girl Scouts of the USA for the all-new Thin Mints Frosty, which will hit restaurants in February!

Wendy's

Per People, the Thin Mints Frosty will be concocted with a mint chocolate swirl that leverages the actual Thin Mints cookies to create a “crumbly, cookie butter-esque texture.” As far as the Frosty base goes, you’ll be able to order it in either of Wendy’s classic Frosty flavors: vanilla or chocolate.

Girl Scouts of the USA

I anticipate that the Thin Mints Frosty will simply be a 10/10 treat – or perhaps even a solid 11 or 12/10! It’s widely known that the crispy chocolate cookies are always better straight from the freezer (at least in my family), so knowing they're going to be incorporated into a frozen treat is truly so exciting.

Wendy's + Girl Scouts of the USA

The Thin Mints Frosty will be available nationwide – but only for a limited-time – starting Friday, February 21.

Girl Scouts of the USA

The 2025 Girl Scout cookie season began on January 7, with 12 flavors available for purchase. Girl Scouts of the USA did sadly announce two flavors, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay!, will not return for the 2026 cookie season. I luckily don’t see Thin Mints going anywhere – they’re a cult favorite!
