LED Lighted Makeup Mirrors That You Can Fit in Your Carry-On You'll never want to travel without a mirror again.

The beauty of working from home sans a daily commute is that I have way more time to workout. I’m a long-distance runner with 5K’s, 10K’s, and a possible marathon on my list of long-term goals, so I’m always looking for the best running tips to keep me on track. I’ve also noticed more and more people taking up outdoor running in lieu of the fact that most gyms are still closed. However, whether you’re hitting the pavement or pacing on a treadmill, there are plenty other ways to elevate your skills and confidence outside of a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and of course, plenty of water intake (none of which you should stop doing, BTW).

And because I’m far from a fitness expert, I asked Ellen Thompson,�Fitness Manager at Blink Fitness, to break down all of the must-know tips for runners at every level, whether you’re a seasoned pro or so beginner, you can’t remember the last time you attempted to run a mile. She’s a marathon runner who has dabbled in triathlons, in addition to being a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Fitness Nutrition Specialist. Safe to say, she knows what she’s talking about. With that being said, let’s get started.

Step Correct

As someone with flat feet, I’m (literally) painfully aware of how important a well-fitting sneaker is to your running routine. For instance, I’m all about arch support because I don’t naturally have any. So if I’m wearing a sneaker without that extra cushion, running outside feels more like skipping barefoot on concrete.

When it comes to finding the best sneaker, what matters most (especially if you’re an outdoor runner) is the type of running you plan to do. “If you’re all about neighborhood streets or paved paths, that’ll call for a shoe that boasts a sole with traction which allows for a smooth roll but has the ability to grip flat ground,†says Thompson. “If you’re more into wooded trails or gravel paths, that’ll call for a sole with a little more traction and just as much flexibility to maneuver into grooves, ultimately preventing slips or twists.â€

Asics.

Buy: Asics Gel Kayano 26 $84.95

But before you hit add to cart, get familiar with your arches and ankles to know what level of support you’ll need. If you’re like me and have ankles that roll in a bit and your current sneakers show the most wear near the balls of your feet, Thompson recommends a neutral or light stability shoe. If the ankle roll-in is severe and the majority of your sneaker’s wear is along the inner section of the soles, look into stability shoes with added support. My personal fave is the Asics Gel Kayano 26 because it keeps my ankles from overpronating.

“And if those old shoes are showing wear along the outer section of the soles with your ankle tending to roll out under you, then you may want to see how neutral shoes treat your feet,†adds Thompson. Let’s also not forget about another important factor: sole thickness. This part comes down to your preference and arch/ankle needs. If you prefer feeling more grounded, Thompson recommends a minimalist design. However, if you want to feel like you’re floating, get more cushion for the pushin’.

Finally, know when to let go. According to Thompson, replacing your sneakers should depend on miles, not months. “Typically, a pair of running shoes will see you through about 400 miles, which for some runners can take about 6 months,†she says. “You really just want to keep your eye on the sneaker’s tread and your mind on the inner support features, because when those start to break down that’s another sign it’s time to replace the shoes.†When you don’t consider these things, the eventual reduced traction and support can put you at risk of injury and ultimately, take your goals out of reach.

Pump Those Muscles

Running alone won’t improve your running. Though it seems counterproductive at first glance, strength training actually improves running. In addition to gaining speed and endurance, Thompson says it will also improve your form which is crucial for injury prevention. If you’re not sure where to start, she recommends firing up the glutes, aligning the hips, and strengthening the core with these moves:

Glutes

Glute Bridge Variations ( banded, single-leg, weighted), Lunge Variations ( reverse, side, curtsy, weighted, explosive), Step-Up Variations (sagittal, lateral, deficit, weighted, explosive), and/or Deadlift Variations (single leg, dumbbell, barbell, banded)

Hips

Banded Multi-Directional Steps, Hip Hikes, BirdDogs

Core

Plank Variations, Deadbug Variations, Rotational Movements

The DB Method.

HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is another option for building stamina and cardio endurance. “I also stress that clients work in various planes of motion. In other words, don’t just stick to sagittal exercises,†she adds. “You need to be moving in other planes such as lateral and transverse for the health of your joints and muscles to avoid overuse issues and possible imbalances that could actually hinder running performance, and more importantly enjoyment.â€

I also recommend checking out The DB Method, which I use for full-body moves in addition to the squatting stance it’s famous for. After just a few weeks of use, I felt ten times lighter on my feet and noticed that my posture had improved too.

Stick to Moisture-Wicking Face Masks

It should go without saying, but face masks are recommended no matter what you’re doing outdoors, including your daily or weekly run. Though it takes getting used to, it’s a matter of safety not just for yourself, but those around you too.

Athleta.

At this point, there are so many options to choose from, so think about your location, length of run, and the weather before making a decision. “If I’m running through a metro area, the mask I use will be one that stays put due to the odds of coming in contact with others. However, it will be a bit thinner and have moisture-wicking properties,†says Thompson. “If I’m running through a more suburban or park/ trail area, the mask I use will be one that I can easily pull up and down. It will also have moisture-wicking properties.â€

Think Function Over Fashion

I know I’m not the only one who feels way more motivated to exercise when they’re wearing something cute. However, if improving your running skills is a serious goal, think function over fashion. According to Thompson, this means looking at the fabric and cut for comfort and performance. And this will undoubtedly change with the seasons.

For instance, the best options for right now (summer) are “lightweight, lightly colored items that are proven to wick wetness—yes, sweat—without causing chaffing.†A built-in UV factor is the icing on the cake. Thompson adds, “When it comes to colder weather, I’m still looking at lightweight, but now darker colors to pull in warmth from the sun’s rays, yet still has that UV factor; essentially, I want to be able to keep my muscles warm and supple but not find myself drenched in sweat and experiencing uncomfortable chills or fabric chafing.â€

Belcorva.

Belcorva Black Pocket Shorts $38

buy it

Right now, I’m all about well-fitting, high-waisted stretchy shorts. I especially love options with pockets (like Belcorva’s quality activewear) so I can tuck away my house keys instead of gripping them in my hand, which ends up impacting my overall stance. On top, I’m sticking to high support sports bras so my girls aren’t moving all over the place.

Embrace Variety for Speed Goals

I’m almost always working on a running goal. A couple of months ago, I was all about increasing overall speed and now, my focus is on a swifter mile time. If you’ve got a need for speed, variety is the spice of life. Make sure you’re switching up your runs and showing your muscles some individual love, too. In other words, aim for a mix of strength training, tempo runs, hill runs, and sprints.

Keep It Real for Longevity Goals

If you’re, for example, training for your first 5K, a mile run, or a marathon, your focus should be small realistic goals. For instance, if you’ve never run before, Thompson says you shouldn’t expect to run a full mile without stopping. However, “do expect to walk, jog, walk, jog, walk, jog without stopping until you meet that mile.â€

She adds, “The same goes for anyone eyeing their first 5k, 10k, half marathon, or marathon. Set small realistic goals that will empower you, not discourage you. And recognize it takes time and practice.†The longer your runs become, the more you should consider having some fuel on you. “That could be an electrolyte performance drink to swig from every two miles or something to nosh on as the five-mile mark nears.†No matter your goal, a warm-up routine, and some tried-and-true breathing techniques will help your cause as well.

Be Thoughtful About Your Playlist

There are rare occasions where I’ll hit the pavement or treadmill without my headphones, but I’m almost always pumpin’ the jams. The same goes for Thompson, who typically straps on a Garmin watch and clicks into her Spotify account. As for what she’s listening to, that depends on the goals of her run for that day:

Sprints call for snappy, hard-hitting punk rock tunes.

Tempo runs call for soul or classic rock playlists, in which the songs are longer in length and she can let the chorus lead her.

Hill runs call for motivational podcasts, preferably those with 3-5 minute episodes.

Distance runs call for an in-depth podcast on either fitness or self-development; sometimes even comedy.

VNVN.

Buy: VNVN Sports Armband $13.99

I also recommend investing in an armband if you can’t run without music. It frees up your hands for a better stance and makes it less likely to end your run with a broken phone screen. I’m currently obsessed with this one because it keeps my headphone wires from getting tangled and the fabric is moisture-wicking.

Be Mindful of Your Stance

Finally, don’t drag your feet, look forward, and relax those shoulders—proper stance alone will take your runs to the next level. Thompson is a fan of the Figure 4 position made popular by the Pose Method, which reads more complicated than it actually is. Generally speaking, you shouldn’t overthink this. Thompson says that adjusting your running stance takes time, though practice drills will “allow you to introduce your body to these positions and hone muscle memory without racking up miles of bad form.â€

The Figure 4 position allows you to engage your hamstring and gluteal muscles without straining the neck, arm, and shoulders. With practice, it also keeps your arms from over-pumping so you’re exerting a more even amount of energy throughout your body.

“This position pretty much looks like what it sounds like,†Thompson says, adding, “your body aligning itself into a figure 4 as you move forward in stride.†Try envisioning your left foot on the ground with your heel ever so slightly elevated to stabilize on the ball of the foot, and a very small bend to the left knee.

Additionally, “your right foot is off the ground with heel about the mid-calf level and ankle in line with the right knee as you lean slightly forward at the hip. At this point, from the right hip to the right knee to the right ankle, from a side view as it crosses..

Level Up Your Running Skills With These Foolproof Expert Tips Including the best workout gear and strength training moves.

Working out at home can get a little repetitive. First, you’ve got to muster the motivation to leave your couch. That can take a while, because you have to watch everyone’s Insta Story before you get started. When you do manage to turn on your workout video, you don’t have any accountability—unless you’re on a Zoom workout with your camera on. Basically, it can be hard to keep up an at-home workout routine. There’s only so many bodyweight exercises you can do. If those planks or that yoga flow is getting too easy, you should switch it up with a pilates bar kit.

For pilates fans, you’re probably very familiar with reformers. Now, this kit is no replacement, but it will enhance any pilates, yoga or virtually any workout you do. The kit is essentially a foam-covered stainless steel bar with two heavy-duty resistance bands attached to it with nylon footstraps. It helps you work on your flexibility and muscular strength. Like pilates, the kit is focused on toning. Most kits can also be broken down and made into smaller pieces, so you could even bring it with you to the gym if you wanted to. If you’re a little lost on what exercises to do, each kit comes with a comprehensive instruction booklet.�

We hope all you cool cats and kittens are ready for Carole Baskin’s Cameo videos. The�Tiger King star began taking video requests on the platform in early July and has steadily racked up a fortune from her dedicated following on the app ever since. And no request is off-limits for the 59-year-old—you know, except for those involving her dead husband.

The Big Cat Rescue owner is taking personal video requests for the low (?) price of $200 on the app. Her bio on Cameo currently reads: “You know me as “Tiger King†Joe Exotic’s intended murder victim but my real life’s work has been at Big Cat Rescue for a world where all wild cats live free. Please be a voice for cats: BigCatAct.com.†To date, she’s fulfilled requests ranging from the casual congratulatory shoutout to a now-viral cover of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club,†and, uh, reciting very strange poetry that mentions both the MGM lion and prominent lawyers, David Chesnoff and Patty Glaser, all in the same 30-second clip. It’s all almost as puzzling as the mystery of her missing husband on Tiger King, but Baskin has no interest in mentioning that last part.

In an introductory video for her Cameo, Baskin goes over her rules for requests. “Hey all you cool cats and kittens, it’s Carole Baskin’s kitty help hotline, how can I help you? Want the purrfect message for the cat lover in your life? Let me channel my inner cat for your birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, promotions, or inspirational messages,†she offers, before clarifying what she will cover. “I’m up for anything animal-friendly, earth-friendly, and healing. I’m not up for anything mean, especially about my husband, and won’t endorse candidates or say you’re the best at something if I don’t know it to be true. The best part is that the proceeds are helping me end the abuse of Big Cats and their cubs.â€

The Tiger King star has previously explained to TMZ that fans continue to ask intrusive questions about her missing husband. “People ask me to say some really bizarre things that are clearly inside jokes for them and their friends, so I do, with the exception of saying things that I found to be hurtful in the ‘Tiger King’ series,†Baskin told the outlet on July 7. “I decline their requests to say things that would make fun of my husband’s disappearance because that was such a tragic time in my life, and in that of those who loved him.â€

Baskin’s missing husband, Jack “Don†Lewis, hasn’t been seen since August 18, 1997. Nearly 23 years later, his missing persons status remains an active cold case, although he was declared legally dead five years following his disappearance. Following the release of Netflix’s Tiger King, rumors continue to spread that Baskin is responsible for his disappearance and death—and Tiger King star, Joe Exotic, still holds this to be true. However, the Big Cat Rescue owner has repeatedly denied any involvement in Don’s disappearance and is not currently considered a suspect in his missing person case at this time.

The good news for Baskin is that she has also received hundreds of requests that do not veer into that off-limit territory. According to TMZ, the Tiger King star received over 600 requests as of early July alone, earning her around $120,000 in her first week on the platform.

Just in case you’re looking for Taylor Swift’s “Cardigan” lyrics and meaning after watching the song’s music video (over and over and over again), we got you. The 30-year-old icon dropped a surprise album,�Folklore, for her fans on July 24—less than a year after her wildly popular feat, Lover, which came out in 2019. Many are heralding this album as one of Swift’s greatest projects yet. While the jury’s still out on that, one thing’s for sure: It has fans talking about her relationship with 29-year-old actor and longtime boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

Taylor and Joe first met and starting dating in either late 2016 or early 2017. Years later, fans of Folklore are coming across plenty of Easter eggs that have left them convinced that Taylor and Joe worked on the album together. There’s also the possibility that Taylor and Joe split, according to some theorists—while others are convinced that songs like “Cardigan,†released as the album’s lead single on July 23, is actually about Taylor’s relationship with Joe in the first place.

Taylor may have revealed a few hints about that herself. In a Live Q&A before the music video for “Cardigan†was released, Taylor explained, “The song is about a lost romance and why young love is often fixed so permanently within our memories. Why it leaves such an indelible mark.†Fans were curious about whether this “young love†was about her relationship with Joe, or if simply fits into the fictional universe of the album. Whatever the case, Taylor elaborated in an interview with BBC Radio 1: “This is a song that’s about long lost love, and looking back on it and how special it made you feel,†she said, adding, “all the good things it made you feel, all the pain that it made you feel.â€

While Taylor’s comments can be pretty elusive, some fans have noted that “Cardigan†makes sense as an homage to Joe because of their secure and comforting relationship—much like that of an old cardigan sweater. In March 2020, Us Weekly reported that Taylor and Joe lean on each other a great deal and have even discussed the idea of getting married. [They] have talked about their future and marriage,†a source told the outlet. “They don’t have a set deadline in place, but they’re very much in love.â€

The source added, “Taylor considers Joe one of the only safe constants in her life. He has always been a huge support and stuck by her.†Lyrics like “when I felt like I was an old cardigan / Under someone’s bed / You put me on and said I was your favorite,†could definitely allude to this supportive relationship.

For the rest of Taylor Swift’s “Cardigan†lyrics, just keep on reading. You can also watch the music video below.

Verse 1

Vintage tee, brand new phone
High heels on cobblestones
When you are young, they assume you know nothing
Sequined smile, black lipstick
Sensual politics
When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Chorus

But I knew you
Dancin’ in your Levi’s
Drunk under a streetlight, I
I knew you
Hand under my sweatshirt
Baby, kiss it better, I

Refrain

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

Verse 2

A friend to all is a friend to none
Chase two girls, lose the one
When you are young, they assume you know nothing

Chorus

But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I

Refrain

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

Bridge

To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed
You drew stars around my scars
But now I’m bleedin’

Chorus

‘Cause I knew you
Steppin’ on the last train
Marked me like a bloodstain, I
I knew you
Tried to change the ending
Peter losing Wendy, I
I knew you
Leavin’ like a father
Running like water, I
And when you are young, they assume you know nothing

Verse 3

But I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of smoke would hang around this long
‘Cause I knew everything when I was young
I knew I’d curse you for the longest time
Chasin’ shadows in the grocery line
I knew you’d miss me once the thrill expired
And you’d be standin’ in my front porch light
And I knew you’d come back to me
You’d come back to me
And you’d come back to me
And you’d come back

Refrain

And when I felt like I was an old cardigan
Under someone’s bed
You put me on and said I was your favorite

Taylor Swift’s ‘Cardigan’ Lyrics Could Contain a Big Clue About Her Relationship With Joe Alwyn We'd bet Taylor is Joe's "favorite," too.

Selling Sunset fans want to know: Why did Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause divorce? Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming third season on Friday, July 24, which showed the realtor in tears after news broke of her divorce from her husband of two years.

The trailer, which shows Stause’s Selling Sunset cast receive a news alert about her divorce from Hartley in real time, shows the soap star crying next to her costar Mary Fitzgerald, who asks if Hartley “blindsided” her with a divorce. Stause then nods yes. At the end of the trailer, Stause can be seen at her costar Christine Quinn’s wedding as another costar asks, “Obviously, Justin has his own side right?” That’s when Stause proceeds to leave and take off her microphone as she says, “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

The This Is Us actor, who married the reality TV star in October 2017, filed for divorce in November 2019. He cited irreconcilable differences. Though Hartley claimed the date of the couple’s separation was July 8, Stause claimed that the couple separated on November 22, the day Hartley filed for divorce.

In an exclusive interview with StyleCaster in May, Stause confirmed that Hartley, like many close to her, had “reservations” about joining Selling Sunset in 2019 when they were still married. “I think everyone would probably have reservations signing up for something like this, which is fair,” she said at the time. “That was a normal conversation that you have with anybody in your life who cares about you. They were normal conversations of concern.”

Stause also told StyleCaster that she considered quitting the show, which was hinted in the scene of her leaving Quinn’s wedding. “If I’m being perfectly honest, my knee-jerk reaction was I can’t do this,” she said at the time. “[Quitting the show] did cross my mind. This isn’t something that anybody would sign up for or do on purpose. I would’ve given anything if everything had happened after. It’s a lot easier to talk about a little blurb and move on and just talk about the show. However, that being said, it was out there anyways, so now it’s almost like ripping a Band-Aid off.”

Stause also opened up to StyleCaster about how her life changed after news broke about her divorce and why, in the end, she decided to document her split for Selling Sunset. “All of a sudden, I had not only the show following me, I had paparazzi on me,” she said at the time. “It was the most bizarre thing I’d ever lived through in my life,” she says. “Even now, when I look back on it, it seemed like it was a dream. A nightmare, to be honest. I didn’t necessarily choose to talk about it. It was unavoidable. They filmed what was going on. I had to address it.”

As for why Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause divorced, it’s still unclear. Stause’s Selling Sunset costar, Christine Quinn, told Page Six in July that the two were in therapy to fix their relationship. “We all just thought maybe they were having communication problems for a while,” Quinn told Page Six. “We heard that they were in therapy, so obviously there were some issues going on with them.”

Quinn continued, “I think… the understanding that they had is that he wanted to be totally private in regards to Selling Sunset, which she respected. So, we’re never going to see him on the show, and we’re never going to see her talk about him, and I really don’t think there’s ever any resolve unfortunately.”

However, Stause later tweeted that Quinn’s information about her marriage couldn’t be trusted. “Let me be VERY clear. She knows absolutely nothing about the situation and is obviously desperate to gain attention by doing so. Anything from her is either a complete lie or total conjecture on her part,” she wrote.

https://twitter.com/Chrishell7/status/1282767410940899328?s=20

TMZ also reported in December 2019 that Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause may have divorced over money. The site reported that Hartley and his This Is Us costars signed a deal that would’ve paid them $250,000 per episode for the next three years. With 18 episodes a season, that would amount to $4.5 million each year. TMZ, which reported that the couple didn’t have a prenup, also speculated that Hartley listed his separation date as five months earlier than Stause to avoid his new salary being included in their divorce.

A source also told Us Weekly in November 2019 that Hartley hadn’t been happy in his marriage for a while. “Justin had been having problems with the marriage for a while,” the insider said at the time. Despite this the source added that “the divorce filing was a big surprise to everyone around Justin and Chrishell in terms of their friends.” So it looks like the only people who know why Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause divorced is the couple themselves, and it’s best to keep it that way.

Justin Hartley Had ‘Reservations’ About Chrishell Stause Joining ‘Selling Sunset’ Before Divorce According to Chrishell, she was "blindsided" by their divorce.

I’m taking the shortest of breaks from blasting Folklore on repeat to hit you with a bit of Swifty-approved style inspo. Not sure what I mean? I’m talking about all of Taylor Swift’s incredible Folklore fashion choices, of course! With one promo photoshoot, album cover and music video, Swift has me buying tons of new pieces for my wardrobe, from cardigans (duh) to vintage-inspired nightgowns to lacy-sleeved sundresses.

If you’re as big a Folklore fan as I am, you’ve no doubt watched the “Cardigan” music video tons of times—and if you watched during the midnight premiere, you might’ve been cozied up in your own old, worn-in pajamas, wondering why you didn’t look nearly as cute as Swift in her vintage white nightie. This is exactly what happened to me, and as I vowed to myself to invest in the bougie nightgown I deserved, I decided to see what other fashion moments from Folklore I could copy while I was at it. Ever a fashion icon, Swift definitely delivered.

With August right around the corner, Swift served up some end-of-summer ‘fits as well as some great options for transitioning into fall, too. I’m talking sweet white lace sundresses contrasted by oversized denim jackets, cozy cardigans for transitional layering and long plaid coats I’ll definitely be stocking up on come autumn. Read on for a look at the top Folklore fashion trends so far, and ways to shop each one to channel your inner songstress.

1. Cozy Cardigan

OK, this one goes without saying! “Cardigan” is the first single off the album, as well as the first music video, which I’ve already binge-watched upwards of 50 times.
