Demi Lovato revealed a hint about what she's planning on wearing for her wedding to Max Ehrich, and it's not what you'd expect at all. During an interview with Popcrush, Demi revealed that she's already “started looking at dresses.” She went on to say that, “I have my image for what I would want it to [look like] if I got to do a big celebration. I don't wanna give it away but it's definitely not a white dress,” Demi teased during the interview.

It is a bit unexpected that Demi might not wear white for her day, but she's not the first celebrity who decided to wear a bold color for their wedding. Demi actually wore the most stunning white ruched dress by Retrofête during her engagementRead More – Source

For me, the smell of freshly brewed coffee is the equivalent of a comforting, warm hug. Those first few sips hardly disappoint either, as I'm instantly energized to take on the day. But, all good things come to an end after too many caramel-infused cups leave me with a headache.

That's just one example of how complicated my relationship with caffeine can be — and I know I'm not alone in feeling this love-hate connection.

“Genetically, we all metabolize caffeine differently.

The amount of sleep you're getting, your diet, if you're prone to migraines, and your water intake directly influences your caffeine-headache vulnerability, she adds. That's why talking to a doctor about your lifestyl..

Fact: strengthening the core helps improve posture, prevent everyday injury, and combats chronic back pain, which is all too common if you sit at a desk all day. This is exactly why no workout with Austin Lopez, BS, CSCS, and trainer at DIAKADI is complete without a dedicated section of core work. During a recent session with Austin, he tortured treated me to the following bodyweight circuit, which he tacked on after an already intense section of leg and shoulder work. It was tough, I sweated like a crazy person, but damn if I didn't feel every muscle in my core working.

Florence Howe, an activist, educator and major contributor to American literature and culture who as co-founder of the Feminist Press helped revive such acclaimed and influential works as Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-Paper” and Rebecca Harding Davis’ “Life in the Iron Mills,” has died.

Howe died Saturday in Manhattan, according to the Feminist Press. She was 91 and in recent years had been treated for Parkinson’s disease.

“Florence Howe was a visionary with extraordinary literary taste, an ear for transformative ideas, and a steely focus on feminism and social justice,” Linda Villarosa, chair of the Feminist Press board, said in a statement. “Like me, people across several generations can thank Florence for opening our eyes, uplifting our voices, mentoring us as writers and scholars, and training us to step into her shoes.”

A native of New York City and a civil rights activist in the 1960s, Howe and her then-husband Paul Lauter founded the nonprofit publisher in 1970,..
