It’s super easy for most people to get hung up on the number on their scales and not how they actually look or, most importantly, feel. People often go on diets in hopes of reaching an ideal weight they had when they graduated high school or got married, but they’re often disappointed when they can’t attain it.

But a set of photos by fitness blogger Kelsey Wells is a great reminder for everyone to put their scales back in storage.

Welles is best known as the voice and body behind My Sweat Life, a blog she started after gaining weight during pregnancy. To lose the weight, she started the Bikini Body Guide (BBG) training program and after 84 weeks she shared three photos on her Instagram account that prove the scale doesn’t matter.

The photos showed her at her start weight (144 pounds), the weight she hit two months after giving birth (122 pounds), and current weight (140 pounds). Now she weighs exactly what she did when she started the program but her body is entirely different.

Here’s an excerpt from Wells’ Instagram post:

SCREW THE SCALE || I figured it was time for a friendly, yet firm reminder. YOU GUYS. PLEASEEEEEE STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON THE NUMBER ON THE STUPID SCALE! PLEASE STOP THINKING YOUR WEIGHT EQUALS YOUR PROGRESS AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE STOP LETTING YOR WEIGHT HAVE ANY AFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR SELF ESTEEM, like I used to.
To any of you who are where I once was, please listen to me. I am 5′ 7″ and weigh 140 lbs. When I first started #bbg I was 8 weeks post partum and 145 lbs. I weighed 130 before getting pregnant, so based on nothing besides my own warped perception, I decided my “goal weight” should be 122 and to fit into my skinniest jeans. Well after a few months of BBG and breastfeeding, I HIT IT and I fit into those size 0 jeans. Well guess what? I HAVE GAINED 18 POUNDS SINCE THEN. EIGHT FREAKING TEEN. Also, I have gone up two pant sizes and as a matter of fact I ripped those skinny jeans wide open just the other week trying to pull them up over my knees.?? My point?? According to my old self and flawed standards, I would be failing miserably.

Marcos Alberti’s “3 Glasses” project began with a joke and a few drinks with his friends.

The photo project originally depicted Alberti’s friends drinking, first immediately after work and then after one, two, and three glasses of wine.

But after Imgur user minabear circulated the story, “3 Glasses” became more than just a joke. In fact, it went viral, garnering more than 1 million views and nearly 1,800 comments in its first week. So Alberti started taking more pictures and not just of his friends.

“The first picture was taken right away when our guests (had) just arrived at the studio in order to capture the stress and the fatigue after a full day after working all day long and from also facing rush hour traffic to get here,” Alberti explained on his website. “Only then fun time and my project could begin. At the end of every glass of wine, a snapshot, nothing fancy, a face and a wall, 3 times.”

Why was the series so popular? Anyone who has ever had a long day at work and needed to “wine” down will quickly see why.

If we’re being honest, we all make assumptions about other people, right?

We look at their skin, their clothes, and their car, and we make guesses about them that we don’t even realize we’re making. Everyone does it.

You ask a pregnant female coworker if she’ll keep working after the baby is born — but you wouldn’t think to ask that question of a guy who was about to become a dad.

You ask that nice girl behind the counter at the bagel shop whether she’ll ever go to college so she can get a better job — only to learn that she’s an underemployed Ph.D.

You ask a hipster-looking guy on the subway whether he’s into artisanal pickles — but he just happens to be a bad dresser who has no idea what you’re talking about.

The fact is, though, that people of color deal with other people’s assumptions constantly.

Research shows that other people’s expectations can have a profound effect on us. They can determine our success or failure. And black women deal with this nonsense more than others. In a recent study, nearly half of the female black and Latina scientists polled reported being mistaken for janitors or administrative staff.

Let’s agree to fix this.

The water bill at the Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis residence appears to be pretty low after recent revelations the couple made about their family’s bathing habits.

In a recent appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, they admitted they’re not that into bathing themselves or their two children, Dimitri Portwood, 4, and Wyatt Isabelle, 6.

The conversation started when Shepard explained his ongoing disagreement with co-host Monica Padman. The two have dissenting views over whether people should use soap. “You should not be getting rid of all the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day,” he said. “It’s insane.”

Kunis agreed with Shepard and was very candid about her bathing ritual. “I don’t wash my body with soap every day,” she shared. “But I wash pits and tits and holes and soles.”

“I can’t believe I’m in the minority here of washing my whole body in the shower,” Padman replied. “Who taught you to not wash?”

“I didn’t have hot water growing up as a child,” Kunis recalled, “so I didn’t shower very much anyway.” Kunis was born in the then-Soviet controlled Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi in 1983. Her family migrated to America when she was seven.

Kutcher added that he regularly uses soap and water on just his “armpits and crotch” and “nothing else.”

Kunis has passed her lax attitude towards bathing on to her children.

“When I had children,” she said, “I also didn’t wash them every day. I wasn’t the parent that bathed my newborns—ever.” Shepard agreed, saying that he and wife Kristen Bell only bathe their children as part of a nighttime routine and don’t pay much attention to their cleanliness.

“That’s how we feel about our children. We’re like, ‘Oof, something smells,'” Kunis added. Kutcher has a simple rule when it comes to his children and their cleanliness. “Here’s the thing — if you can see the dirt on ’em, clean ’em,” he says. “Otherwise, there’s no point.”

While the Kutcher-Kunis clan’s approach towards hygiene may not be typical of the average American family, they may not be wrong according to science. Research suggests that children benefit from being exposed to germs early in life.

“This line of thinking, called the ‘hygiene hypothesis,’ holds that when exposure to parasites, bacteria, and viruses is limited early in life, children face a greater chance of having allergies, asthma, and other autoimmune diseases during adulthood,” WebMD says.

Basically, the more your body is exposed to the more it can fight off.

“Just as a baby’s brain needs stimulation, input, and interaction to develop normally, the young immune system is strengthened by exposure to everyday germs so that it can learn, adapt, and regulate itself,” notes Thom McDade, PhD, associate professor and director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University.

As for Kutcher and Kunis, they both share the same attitude when it comes to hygiene so nobody in the relationship has the right to complain if the other is a little funky. If it works for them, who are we to judge?

With 2023 just days away from ending, there are a few TV shows that fans are hoping premiere sooner rather than later in 2024. One of those is All American: Homecoming season three, which along with All American, has earned a loyal fanbase over the years. These loyal fans can’t wait to dive into season three of the show, and while we’re still some time away from the premiere, here’s what we know about All American: Homecoming season three so far.

Is There Going To Be An All American: Homecoming Season 3?

Yes! All American: Homecoming was renewed for a third season just a month after the season two finale aired on CW. “We are thrilled to bring All American: Homecoming and Superman & Lois back to The CW,” said CW Entertainment President Brad Schwartz according to Deadline. “These series are two of our strongest performers across our linear and digital platforms with some of the most passionate fanbases in all of television. We are grateful to our partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions for their continued collaboration, and we cannot wait to get started on the new seasons.”

When Does All American: Homecoming Season 3 Come Out?

An official release date for All American: Homecoming season three remains unconfirmed, but The Hollywood Reporter previously said that CW hopes to kick off the new season in April 2024. The third season would premiere alongside season six of All American.

All American: Homecoming Season 3: Who Is In It?

Things won’t be the same for All American: Homecoming season three regarding the cast. First, Peyton Alex Smith (who plays Damon Sims) and Kelly Jenrette (who plays Amara Patterson) will no longer be series regulars in season three. Despite this, it’s expected that Smith and Jenrette will have recurring roles in the new season. Lastly, it’s unknown what role Camille Hyde, who plays Thea Mays, will have in season three.

Outside of the aforementioned names, the main cast is expected to remain the same. That list includes:

• Geffri Maya as Simone Hicks
• Cory Hardrict as Coach Marcus Turner
• Cory Hardrict as Coach Marcus Turner
• Sylvester Powell as Jessie “J.R.” Raymond, Jr.
• Mitchell Edwards as Cam Watkins
• Netta Walker as Keisha McCalla
• Rhoyle Ivy King as Nathaniel Hardin

The recurring cast goes as follows:

• Peyton Alex Smith as Damon Sims
• Kelly Jenrette as Amara Patterson
• Leonard Roberts as President Zeke Allen
• Tamberla Perry as Keena Sims (Damon’s mom)
• Joe Holt as Jessie (J.R.’s father and Damon’s biological father)
• Martin Bobb-Semple as Orlando ‘Lando’ Johnson
• Blake Brewer as Nico Logan

All American: Homecoming Season 3 Plot: What’s It About?

CW has yet to confirm the plot for All American: Homecoming season three, but we can predict a few things that will happen based on how season two ended. Simone has to decide between Damon and Lando, and seeing as one of them isn’t a season regular going forward, we may have a hint as to who she picked. JR’s future with KEK is up in the air as he’s prepared to take the fall for the organization’s hazing allegations which have nothing to do with him. JR is aware that if he accepts the blame, he will be thrown out of the group rather than the chapter being shut down.

Lastly, we have Marcus and Amara who went public with their relationship, all for Marcus’ wife to return to the picture and pop up at their apartment. Her arrival shocked everyone and we can imagine that Amara among others will not be happy about her return. Co-showrunners Nkechi Okoro Carroll and Marqui Jackson explained this plot twist during a past interview with Deadline:

“We hadn’t specifically landed on the wife of it all for Season 2, but we knew there’s a chunk of time in Marcus’s life that shaped the man he is today. You don’t become the man he is today who is the father figure to the boys, the coach figure, the pillar of strength and support and everything… you don’t become as enlightened a man as he is now, without going through some stuff. Those are the gaps that we’re starting to fill in. And one of the things that happened in those missing years was that he got married. We will explain in Season 3 how and why she technically is still his wife.”

Is There An All American: Homecoming Season 3 Trailer?

A trailer for All American: Homecoming season three has not been released yet.

How Many Episodes Are In All American: Homecoming Season 3?

Season three of All American: Homecoming will have a total of 13 episodes. This is a two-episode drop from season two and the same amount that season one had.

How To Watch All American: Homecoming Season 3

New episodes in season three of All American: Homecoming will premiere first on the CW television channel. They will then be available to watch on the CW app and website the following day. Later on, the season is expected to be uploaded to Netflix.

When Will All American: Homecoming Season 3 Episodes Come Out?

‘All American: Homecoming’ season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Rumors of a Twister sequel have been swirling (through the air at 20 MPH) for years, but now that the movie is coming to life, we are learning more about the plot, and how it’s not a sequel, reboot, or even a prequel for that matter.

The upcoming installment, called Twisters, will star Glen Powell, and the actor recently shed some light on what we can expect from the new film, which hits theaters in July. “We’re not trying to recreate the story from the first one,” Powell told Vogue. “It’s a completely original story. There are no characters from the original movie back, so it’s not really a continuation. It’s just its own standalone story in the modern day,” he added, before confirming that filming wrapped earlier this month. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka, and David Corenswet are also set to star.

But no matter if it was a sequel or a prequel, Powell was ready to try something big. The actor explained that he received wise words from the Coconut Cake king himself, Tom Cruise, who affected his outlook on this new project: “When I was working on Top Gun, [Tom] Cruise brought up a really interesting thing, where he’s like, ‘If you want to make movies of a certain size and scope and scale, you have to figure out what can connect with everyone around the world in every territory.’” Isn’t that a fun way to say that natural disasters can happen anywhere at any time to anyone?

He added, “And humans-versus-weather is a very universal idea, how powerless we really are in the face of these cataclysmic forces.” He’s right about that, sometimes the threat of cataclysmic forces can influence us to do unexpected things, like watch Anyone But You starring Glen Powell and Syndey Sweeney.
