Staff Writer, Jasmine Williams, covers a variety of topics from home decor to beauty and everything in between. She has bylines at Motherly, The Everymom, and Byrdie where she wrote about motherhood, beauty, health and relationships. Jasmine knew she wanted to be a writer when she realized she was actually interested in reading the articles in her mom's favorite magazines — and she may or may not have ripped her favorite articles out to study them later. When she's not working, you can find Jasmine playing make-believe with her toddler, spending an undisclosed amount of time in Target or TJ Maxx, and searching for a family-friendly puppy to add to her family.

From a new Jojo Moyes book to Chelsea Handler's latest memoir, here's what I'm most excited about reading!

Theresa Gonzalez
Jan 27, 2025
Bedrooms are our comfort zones — a place to rest and relax — and should reflect our personalities. Of course, trends are fun to follow and incorporate to keep our spaces fresh and modern. But we shouldn't follow fleeting trends too rigidly. Some once wildly popular bedroom trends are now making spaces feel dated rather than beautiful and stylish. If you're looking to refresh your sanctuary in 2025, here are some trends to leave behind and what you can do instead to create a warm, inviting space.

Savannah Smith
Jan 24, 2025
For some of us, normal is overrated. We prefer things to be a little weird, a little funky, a little bizarre. For those of us who are embracing the maximalist, weirdo decorating vibes this year, it can be challenging to find high-quality pieces that match what we're looking for. We've done some digging on Amazon and have found some of the best, most off-the-cuff, bizarre pieces you never knew you needed for your home. From funky light fixtures to strange art prints to weird decorative knick-knacks, we've got something for every taste in this list.

        Everything We Know About Those 'Fourth Wing' TV Show Cast Rumors
    
Chloe Williams​
Jan 28, 2025
One of the most important parts of bringing a book to life onscreen is finding the PERFECT cast. Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and 1923 wouldn’t be the same without their phenomenal cast members — and their chemistry with one another. So when it was announced that Amazon was developing a Fourth Wing TV show inspired by Rebecca Yarros' viral book series, fans immediately started talking about who should play Violet, Xaden, and the rest of the characters. Especially since we’ve all been imagining them for so long!
Well there are two actors at the top of the rumor mill for this TV show — and I am crossing all my fingers and toes we see them in the series.

        12 “Outdated” Bathroom Trends That Need To Go In 2025
    
Theresa Gonzalez
Jan 28, 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.
