<p>Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams was just arrested at a protest over the death of <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a32759366/justice-for-breonna-taylor/" id="b5b41e37-7fb7-31b6-ad4d-728055270d7d">  Breonna Taylor </a> in Louisville. Taylor was a 26-year-old Black woman who was shot and killed by police while asleep in her own home in March 2o2o. (The police officers responsible have not been arrested, prompting many protests and demands for justice for Taylor and her family.)</p>

<p>"Were in Louisville and our bottom line is there MUST be JUSTICE for #BREONNATAYLOR. #RP @tamikadmallory ," Porsha wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Porshas arrest was shot on video by her fianc, Dennis McKinley, and later shared on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCo1LyaFX4D/" id="5cb34079-8d56-3fcf-ae76-45d3219867c3">  Instagram </a> . In the video, a group of protesters are seated on the ground with police officers standing around them. Porsha can be seen in the background being led away in handcuffs by a police officer. It's not clear why, exactly, Porsha was arrested.</p>

<p>Porshas sister Lauren later jumped onto her sisters Instagram account, with a video of Porsha talking about the possibility of being arrested. "This is Lauren posting on behalf of Porsha! Please keep tagging #BreonnaTaylor #BreonnaTaylor #BreonnaTaylor lets keep saying her name. ," she wrote.</p>

<p>Porsha was released and returned to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCp7nwwn3sP/" id="ede4e05b-8826-31e3-a563-6402228d4981">  Instagram </a> in the early hours of Wednesday morning, writing, "It was my pleasure! I love you and as always praying for you Ms.Tamika Palmer (Mother of #BreonnaTaylor ) Ps: Thank you for waiting on us to get out! It was heart warming exiting and seeing your family @untilfreedom it was an honor @tamikadmallory." @danieljaycameron Arrest the Cops! Do The RIGHT thing."</p>

<p>Porsha followed that up with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqnPjLnykQ/" id="587525fe-bfb7-3938-af6b-dbe4978033f2">  another Instagram post </a> shared just minutes ago recapping what happened and asking fans to call the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections to demand the release of protestors. "87 of us were arrested outside of KY Attorney General Daniel Camerons House. Just in case you all forgot, the cops who MURDERED Breonna Taylor have still not been arrested or charged," she wrote in a repost. "They charged us with a felony and two misdemeanor charges. The ACLU of Kentucky has said that the Louisville Metro Police Department's use of a felony allegation against demonstrators was designed to muzzle the protests. We are still sitting outside LMPD because we wont leave until every single one of our protesters is released. This is family. Make some calls. "</p>

<p>This isnt Porshas first experience with protesting for racial justice. Last month, she was hit with tear gas while protesting the death of George Floyd. "It was devastating to feel like I was out there trying to stand with my people, stand with our allies, and help them raise a message of hope and to be silenced and not able to breathe because of the gas bomb that was thrown," she told <a href="https://people.com/tv/rhoa-porsha-williams-arrested-protest-breonna-taylor/" id="085a68ed-145a-31d5-ae84-adf20b6ff6d6">  People </a> at the time.</p>

Swipe right, and int the second photo, shes smiling widely while wearing a gorgeous herringbone-print bikini. Its pretty hard to miss the fact that <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a25604337/nina-dobrev-workout-routine/" id="3e6e8c57-caf6-38a4-ab96-596a2bf846c2">  Ninas abs are seriously toned </a> and people definitely noticed how fit she looks.</p>

<p>The abs are a newer thing for Nina. She shared with <a href="https:http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a25604337/nina-dobrev-workout-routine/" id="8ac785fa-5c70-306f-a560-4bee5fc177e7">  Womens Health </a> in 2018 that she only recently got visible stomach muscles.</p>

<p>As for those abs, Nina says its more about what shes eating than anything else. "Im getting older and more conscious of what I eat and how I eat it and what I do," she said. "Doing something different [each day] has been the most fun, and Ive seen the most benefit because you shock your system."

<p>Were in the thick of mosquito seasonand a global pandemicand its only natural to have questions about whether the two are related. After all mosquitoes can transmit viruses like Zika virus, West Nile, and dengue fever, socan mosquitoes transmit novel coronavirus? </p>

<p>Before you panic thinking about what could happen, know this: Its not likely. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters" id="39895ada-1011-32f2-a2a8-fb6b5e45d545">  World Health Organization </a> (WHO) actually addresses this in a mythbusters section on its website. To date there has been no information nor evidence to suggest that the new coronavirus could be transmitted by mosquitoes, the WHO says online. COVID-19 is a respiratory virus that spreads mostly through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezesor through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose, the organization explainsnot through the bite of an infected mosquito.</p>

<p>COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory virus, echoes Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. To be transmitted by a mosquito, the virus has to be viable in the mosquito itself. Coronaviruses dont have that relationship with mosquitoes.</p>

<p>Think about it like the <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a31198534/coronavirus-symptoms-vs-cold-flu/" id="45b41879-a3f5-32ba-a2fb-5a110c4f8850">  common cold or the flu </a> , neither of which you get from a mosquitothe virus can't replicate inside those pesky winged insects, so they can't pass it on. Not every pathogen can be transmitted by mosquitoesonly a select group, Dr. Adalja says.</p>

<p>So, while mosquitoes can carry different diseases, there is no evidence that COVID-19 is one of them. To protect yourself from COVID-19, Dr. Adalja recommends following the guidelines you can probably recite in your sleep by now: Try to avoid people who appear to be sick, do your best to practice social distancing, wash your hands well with soap and water, and, when social distancing isnt possible, wear a mask. </p>

<p>Its also not a terrible idea to do your best to avoid mosquito bites, given that mosquitoes can pass on some diseases. Thats why Dr. Adalja recommends using mosquito repellent when youre going to be outdoors, wearing long sleeves, and trying to avoid being outside at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. </p>

<p>But, while battling mosquitoes during the summer isn't exactly fun, you can at least rest a little easier knowing you won't get COVID-19 that way. </p>

Can Mosquitoes Transmit Novel Coronavirus? What You Need To Know

<p>If all of the options have your head spinning (same), I've got just the thing for you. This diet actually isnt a ~diet~ at allbut it can still help you with your eating goals. Its called intuitive eating, and its a movement thats gaining major followers. </p>

<p>On a basic level, intuitive eating is all about getting in touch with body cues (like hunger and fullness) and learning to trust your body when it comes to food, explains nutritionist <a href="https://kerigansny.com/" id="9077e9ef-cc00-3b44-ad3e-bb10a68d32d9">  Keri Gans </a> , RD. There are no restrictions or forbidden foods; just an effort for you to eat well, feel healthier, and enjoy food more.</p>

<p>For many people, the traditional diet approach leads to nothing more than years and years of weight loss and weight gain and a negative relationship with food and their body image, Gans says. Intuitive eating is here to put that crap to bed.</p>

<p>Clearly, there's something to it. Instagram is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/intuitiveeating/" id="b3808a0f-1ed5-3407-ae2c-6379b9407441">  filled with comments </a> from people who rave about how intuitive eating has helped them stop obsessing over their weight, quit binge-eating, and end feelings of guilt around food.</p>

<p>Of course, theres a little more to making this whole intuitive eating thing work. Heres what you need to know about the eating approachand how to make it work for you. </p>

<h1> What Is Intuitive Eating And Will It Help With Weight Loss?  </h1>

<p>As the name suggests, intuitive eating is all about following your own innate intuition.</p>

<p>The biggest difference between intuitive eating and dietsor lifestyle changesis the focus on internal signals and cues rather than external rules, says nutritionist and certified intuitive eating counselor <a href="http://www.instagram.com/alissarumseyrd" id="10935d3a-8465-3c69-a131-76b5e7bee0df">  Alissa Rumsey </a> , RD, owner of <a href="http://www.alissarumsey.com/" id="01794e9d-b002-3ed5-ab07-3dcd9819bb18">  Alissa Rumsey Nutrition and Wellness </a> . Intuitive eating uses feelings of hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and body knowledge to dictate eating choices in the moment. Traditional diets, meanwhile, use external factors like nutrient counts, calories, or food groups to plan food ahead of time without room for flexibility.</p>

<p>While you can lose weight by following an intuitive eating approach, its not necessarily the goal. Instead, the goal with intuitive eating is to foster a healthier, happier approach to food. </p>

<p>Yes, it sounds suuuuper simplebut it definitely takes work to achieve. Were all born knowing how to listen to our bodys hunger and satiety signals but, as we go through life, our natural intuition is blunted on so many levels, says nutritionist <a href="https://www.karenansel.com/" id="ca35881f-5048-3d52-afc2-6f9601aaaeba">  Karen Ansel </a> , RD. As children, adults are constantly feeding us snacks, whether were hungry or not; were told to finish our meals even though our bodies may be perfectly well-nourished; were rewarded with food for good behavior. At the same time, were told that hunger is an emergency, even though its a completely natural sensation, just like being tired.</p>

<p>Though intuitive eating offers the alluring promise of no food being off-limits, the process of reestablishing (and following) your natural cues is a tricky one.</p>

<p>Its long and time consuming, and sometimes you have to fail before you can succeed, Ansel says. The upside is that once you learn to eat intuitively, weight control often becomes infinitely easier, as your body naturally possesses all the tools to guide you. At this point, you can easily eat only when truly hungry and stop when satisfied. No stress.</p>

<h1>  How Intuitive Eating Got Started  </h1>

<p>The intuitive eating movement has been around in some form since the 1970s, but the term intuitive eating was coined in 1995 by nutritionists Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, authors of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Intuitive-Eating-Revolutionary-Program-Works/dp/1250004047/ref=pd_sbs_14_1/142-6460961-3766211" id="d27b715e-ce7e-3252-acb9-4d0d2f838688">  Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works </a> .</p>

<p>In their book, Tribole and Resch encourage people to reject diet culture, find satisfaction in eating, and listen to their body cues around food. They also ID three different eating personalities that help define the eating difficulties you might have: </p>

<ul><li> <strong> The careful eater </strong> : This person spends a lot of time thinking about what they eatreading labels, asking restaurant servers about details, and meticulously planning out each meal. </li><li> <strong> The professional dieter </strong> : This person, meanwhile, is always on some kind of diet. They carefully count calories and monitor portions, all with the goal of weight loss.  </li><li> <strong> The unconscious eater:  </strong> Unconscious eaters can be broken down further into different camps but, as a whole, they are not as meticulous about what they eat as careful eaters and professional dieters. Unconscious eaters tend to eat whats available, whether its inexpensive, whatever is lying around, or stuff they just dont want to go to waste. </li></ul>

<p>The ultimate goal, according to Tribole and Resch, is to become an intuitive eater, someone who listens to their internal hunger cues. When theyre hungry, intuitive eaters pick something to eat without debating about it or feeling guilty.</p>

<h1>  The 10 Principles Of Intuitive Eating  </h1>

<p>So, how does one become an intuitive eater, exactly? To help you get there, Tribole and Resch came up with the <a href="https://www.intuitiveeating.org/10-principles-of-intuitive-eating/" id="713b207a-be47-3773-a944-6566c7af5b65">  10 principles of intuitive eating </a> , which all focus on creating a healthier relationship with food.</p>

<p>The principles of intuitive eating are guideposts that help you unlearn the dieting behaviors and diet mentality you've been taught and instead learn to tune back into your own body, Rumsey explains. While it's not always a linear experience, rejecting the diet mentality and learning to honor your bodys hunger cues are some of the foundational experiences." </p>

<p>Live by these principles, she says, and you'll not only find a happier relationship with food, but more positive self-care and coping behaviors, body respect, and more intuitive, joyful movement, too.</p>

<p>The 10 principles of intuitive eating, <a href="https://www.intuitiveeating.org/10-principles-of-intuitive-eating/" id="2ab11df3-d651-3686-a247-611b4f86a279">  according to Tribole and Resch </a> , are:</p>

<h1>  1. Reject The Diet Mentality  </h1>

<p>This means ditching diet books and avoiding articles that tell you how to lose weight quickly. </p>

<p>Learning to listen to your hunger cues is crucial, Tribole and Resch argue. Focusing on keeping your body nourished with the right foods can help prevent overeating.</p>

<p>This means giving yourself permission to eat what you want, when you want it. </p>

<h1>  4. Challenge The Food Police  </h1>

<p>Tribole and Resch urge people to remove good and bad thinking from eating. Have a bowl of ice cream? Don't feel guilty about it; its just food, and its part of your overall healthy diet. </p>

<h1>  5. Discover The Satisfaction Factor  </h1>

<p>Eating should be a pleasurable experience and, if you enjoy what youre eating, should help you feel satisfied and content. Identifying this satisfaction can help you learn when youve had enough of a food you enjoy.</p>

<p>Trust your body to lead you to the right foods and listen for the signals that youre not hungry anymore. Tribole and Resch also recommend pausing in the middle of eating to ask yourself how the food tastes, and how hungry you are at that moment. </p>

<h1>  7. Cope With Your Emotions With Kindness  </h1>

<p>Learn to recognize that food restriction can trigger loss of control and emotional eating. Learn to ID your emotions and find ways to deal with them that dont involve food. </p>

<p>Embrace your body, so you can feel better about who you are. </p>

<h1>  9. MovementFeel The Difference  </h1>

<p>Be active for the sake of moving your body, instead of tracking how many calories you burn during exercise. Focusing on the energy you get from working out can help keep you motivated. </p>

<h1>  10. Honor Your Health With Gentle Nutrition  </h1>

<p>Make food choices that are good for your healthand taste greatwhile making you feel good. Know that you dont have to eat perfectly to be healthy. That one snack, meal, or day of less-healthy eating wont torpedo your goals. </p>

<h1>  How To Get Started With Intuitive Eating  </h1>

<p>If you want to rethink your relationship with food, Ansel recommends picking up the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Intuitive-Eating-Revolutionary-Program-Works/dp/1250004047/ref=pd_sbs_14_1/142-6460961-3766211" id="a0dabb45-feea-3975-a31d-c3589d512ffa">  Intuitive Eating </a> book to get the full view of what it's all about.</p>

<p>Its also a good idea to really immerse yourself in the concept. You have likely been absorbing years and years of diet culture messages, so surrounding yourself with alternative messaging will be helpful, says Rumsey, who recommends checking out different podcasts, books, and blogs created by registered dietitians and therapists certified in intuitive eating. These will help you weed through a lot of your long-held beliefs about food and your body to start developing a new relationship, she says. </p>

<p>Another question to consider: What do you really want to eat right now? Allow yourself to have whatever the answer is, Rumsey says. By allowing yourself to eat whatever you want, you stop the diet cycle in its tracks. </p>

<p>It can take time, but your mind and body will eventually learn that you have access to all foods and, with time, cravings and overeating should decrease. If youre unsatisfied, youll probably keep looking for that one thing that is going to make you feel satisfied and content, and youre more likely to overeat, Rumsey explains. When you eat what you really want, the feelings of satisfaction and pleasure you feel will help you be content.</p>

<p>You'll also want to start tuning in to your hunger signals, Rumsey says. Start noting when you tend to feel hungry during the dayand what you tend to do in those moments. Honoring your hungereating each time you are hungryis an important step in building back body trust, she explains. </p>

<p>If you're looking for extra support, a registered dietitian can help guide you through the first few months of intuitive eating. Each person is different and an intuitive eating registered dietitian can help you work through your unique challenges and questions, says Rumsey. </p>

<p><strong> The bottom line </strong> : Intuitive eating is a great way to feel healthier in your body and create a happier, easier relationship with food. Experts say that it's never too late to work on intuitive eatingand that it really does work for most people. </p>

Your Guide To Intuitive Eating: The 10 Principles You Need To Know About

<p><a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a32758459/viola-davis-system-racism-instagram-video/" id="876d1c7b-5e07-309b-a2f7-bf12294c0e9f">  Viola Davis </a> just dropped that knowledge on Instagram via a TikTok video from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_vanillabee_/" id="a2b7f553-f038-3604-aa7f-1a111044570e">  @_vanillabee_ </a> that breaks down the song's origins, and wow. "The more you know...," the actress wrote in the caption.</p>

<p>In the TikTok, @_vanillabee_ talks about how the original title of the ice cream truck song is actually "N Love A Watermelon Ha! Ha! Ha!" (The N-word is used in the title and lyrics.) </p>

<p>The TikTok also includes the actual song recordingand its as horrible as youd imagine. Sample lyrics include, "For here, they're made with a half a pound of co'l. There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon."</p>

<p>People were blown away in the comments of Violas post. "Wow! The more you know!!!!" Octavia Spencer wrote. Apparently, this isn't news to everyone, though. "Yep," said Lenny Kravitz.</p>

<h1> What are the racist origins of the ice cream truck song?  </h1>

<p>The song was originally recorded by a man named Harry C. Browne and released in 1916, according to the <a href="https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1288581" id="fb642e32-6972-3a49-a692-c3800cd511df">  Smithsonian </a> . However, the song stole its melody from an early 19th century tune called "Turkey in the Straw," which is the song's more commonly known name now.</p>

<p>That original melody was brought to America's colonies by Scottish and Irish immigrants who settled along the Appalachian Trail. They added lyrics that mirrored what was happening in their lives, <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/05/11/310708342/recall-that-ice-cream-truck-song-we-have-unpleasant-news-for-you" id="9972ef89-7f4e-3a03-ac64-cdbee0048099">  NPR </a> reports.</p>

<p>In Browne's version, the lyrics changed to feature racist names for and stereotypes about Black people. Not only that, but the original art with the song featured racist stereotypes.</p>

<p>"Even the graphics for the songhad a big-lipped, black face African American doing a jig on it. And then in the video that Columbia Records released, it had a huge piece of watermelon and an African-American male enjoying the watermelon," @_vanillabee_ says. "It even went as far as to say that watermelon is the Black mans ice cream."</p>

<h1> How did the song end up on ice cream trucks?  </h1>

<p>The song eventually became affiliated with ice cream, and later ice cream trucks, because ice cream parlors played popular minstrel songs of the time, NPR reported. Somehow, this one song became a favorite and is still played on many ice cream trucks today. </p>

Yikes...The Ice Cream Truck Has Racist Origins

"Ive kind of helped her come back after each baby, and this is a bit different, in that she said she was tipping the scales at 240 [post-delivery]. This is sort of the aggregate of being pregnant nonstop for a decade, and so we had a little more of a challenge between this and the other ones."</p>

<p>In the past, Batwoman has been played by some pretty big names like Alicia Silverstone and Ruby Rose. Now, theres a new Batwoman in the mix: Javicia Leslie.</p>

<p>Javicia was just announced as the new star of the CWs Batwoman series, making her the first Black actress to play the role on TV or in movies. Javicia shared her excitement about her new role on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZgy-ohkjp/" id="3242140b-b68e-36d4-a64d-1d78a343db15">  Instagram </a> . "For all of the little black girls dreaming to be a superhero one day... its possible!" she wrote.</p>

<p>Javicia is stepping in after Ruby Rose announced on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAteoRApFte/" id="608f8d74-d3e7-3f0c-a461-1bb8e574f934">  Instagram </a> in May that she was leaving her role as Katy Kane in the series. But Javicia isnt going to play Katyinstead, shell be a new character introduced to the show named Ryan Wilder, according to <a href="https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/batwoman-javicia-leslie-series-lead-ruby-rose-1234701651/" id="34acc7e4-1c2d-346e-a222-7e73c492fac6">  Variety </a> . Apparently, Ryan is likeable, messy, a little goofy, and untamed. "With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant," Variety reports. "A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. She is an out lesbian, athletic, raw, passionate, fallible, and very much not your stereotypical All-American hero."</p>

<p>This is hardly Javicias first big role, but its just might make her a household name. Heres what you need to know about the new Batwoman.</p>

<h1>  Javicia was born in Germany.  </h1>

<p>According to the actress' <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4124560/" id="434ba200-ce47-344e-a9c4-51c7883a3050">  IMDB </a> profile, she was born in Augsburg, Germany. She moved to Maryland when she was little and was raised in Upper Marlboro, near Washington, D.C.</p>

<h1>  Shes been acting professionally for a decade.  </h1>

<p>Javicia has been in a number of TV series, like MacGyver and The Family Business. In 2018, she landed her first series regular role as Ali Finer in God Friended Me on CBS. She's also been in a bunch of plays, including August Wilson's Seven Guitars, Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls, and Bob Fosse's Chicago, per IMDb.</p>

<h1>  Javicia is serious about fitness.  </h1>

<p>FWIW: Javicia is trained in "muay thai, boxing, and weapons," according to her IMDb. Basically, you dont want to mess with herwhether she's wearing her Batwoman costume or not. Shes also big into dancing, track, swimming, and bootcamp training.</p>

<h1>  Shes vegan, and handy in the kitchen  </h1>

<p>Javicia doesnt just play a badass on TVshe can also mix it up in the kitchen. Proof: This delicious-looking vegan, gluten-free granola recipe that she recently shared on Instagram.</p>

Who Is Javicia Leslie? 5 Facts To Know About The New 'Batwoman' Actress

<p>Supermodel <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/g32241110/gisele-bundchen-workout-routine/" id="88a22d69-a629-3d4e-aaf1-4b6abd1bf220">  Gisele Bndchen </a> , 39, has been big into yoga for years. And it seems her daughter Vivian is also into the zen exercise practice.</p>

<p>Gisele just shared some "Transformation Tuesday"-style photos of herself doing yoga alongside Vivian, and theyre the sweetest. In one photo, Vivian is a toddler and reaches into the air alongside her mom, who is doing the pigeon pose. In the other, 7-year-old Vivian is doing the pigeon pose perfectly alongside her mom. Not only do the two nail the difficult yoga pose, but Vivian totally looks like Giseles "mini me"they both have their hair pulled into a loose bun and are even wearing similar delicate bracelets. </p>

<p>"My little yoga partner is growing so fast! I love her more than words can express! #love #family #yoga 2013-&amp;gt; 2020," Gisele wrote.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/g26115962/what-gisele-bundchen-and-tom-brady-really-eat/" id="430cb1ed-ba86-3933-ab66-19aececea37a">  Giseles husband Tom Brady </a> wrote this adorable message in the comments: "Vivi loves her Mommy... and I do too!!!"</p>

<p>The fact that these two look alike isnt lost on people. "Shes mamas little twin," a fan wrote. "Next top model like mommy," another person said. </p>

<p>Gisele has raved about how much she loves yoga in the past. She told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDnSgHPREh4" id="43435777-5712-356a-add2-4d6af4e370cf">  Anderson Cooper </a> last year that she used to have an instructor come to her house every day at 5:30 a.m. "Once I felt like I knew enough of how to do it, I started practicing by myself," she explained. Gisele said she loves that you can "do it anywhere. All you need is a tiny space to do a few asanas and to sit and do a five-minute meditation."</p>

<p>Of course, Gisele doesnt ~just~ do yoga. She also told Anderson that she likes hiking and feels like being in nature gives her an energy boost. Shes also known to do a little horseback riding and surfing.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/g32143330/where-to-buy-cloth-face-masks-coronavirus/" id="b18b2360-217f-366a-a70f-5c18a183c0a4">  Wearing a mask </a> in public is basically the norm these days (or at least, it should be). But let's be real, surgical masks aren't perfect. Namely, they can have a loose fit and allow potentially infected particles to get to your nose and mouth.</p>

<p>Well, dentist Olivia Cuid, MD, has a hack for making surgical masks fit better over your face, and its genius. (BTW: This can work for cloth face masks, too.)</p>

<p>Cuid shared the hack in a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviacuidmd/video/6841373365500955909?source=h5_m" id="37f5f4e6-e15a-3c4b-ad67-33c2b7ed1045">  TikTok </a> thats already racked up 395,000 views. With a surgical-style mask, the sides of your face are left very exposed to the outside, Cuid points out. So, she recommends this trick:</p>

<ul><li>  Fold your mask in half </li><li>  Tie a knot with the ear loops on each side as close as possible to the mask </li><li>  Open up your mask </li><li>  There will be a little opening on the sides next to the ear loop, so tuck that in underneath the ear loops on each side </li><li> Wear your (better-fitting) mask </li></ul>

<p>In absence of N95s, this might be a good alternative, Cuid says, showing how the mask fits well against her face.</p>

<p>People low-key freaked in the comments. Wait this is so helpful thank you for sharing!! one wrote. What a clever idea, another said. Me and my pea head thank you! someone else chimed in.</p>

<p>Cuids TikTok is already making the rounds. Katie Couric shared it on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWTJKLFu9Z/" id="b1e44ad4-58dd-3084-ab30-6987ad7aaea5">  Instagram </a> , and Kristen Bell <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWhhJ_H9w0/" id="163e8688-e007-3c06-a381-a27bf4c7473e">  reposted </a> it, too.</p>

<p>FWIW: Cuid is a really great online resource for dental health tips and she even throws in some hilarious content here and there. Case in point:</p>

This 60-Second Hack To Make Your Face Mask Fit Better Is Going Viral On TikTok

<p>ICYMI: Mary is trying to release a tell-all book about her famous uncle called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Too-Much-Never-Enough-Dangerous/dp/1982141468" id="35f921cd-d266-3ceb-a86c-8edcabcc42ea">  Too Much and Never Enough </a> . The president and his brother Robert Trump have been fighting a legal battle to prevent the book's release, but publisher Simon &amp; Schuster says it now plans to release the book two weeks early, on July 14th, per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/06/media/mary-trump-book-release-date/index.html" id="3c1c6abb-4153-3766-a6d3-acb941809c5d">  CNN </a> .</p>

<p>Naturally, the book has raised a lot of questions about Mary. Heres the 411 on Donalds only niece. </p>

<h1>  Shes the daughter of Donalds older brother, Fred Trump Jr.  </h1>

<p>Marys father died in 1981 at age 42 from a heart attack caused by alcoholism, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2020/06/15/whos-mary-trump-heres-everything-we-know-about-the-presidents-niece/#54794880474e" id="7f9065b8-ff12-341d-a132-9a2282362bc7">  Forbes </a> . Mary has one siblingher brother, Fred III.</p>

<p>Mary has Bachelors and Masters degrees in English Literature from Tufts University and Columbia University, and she has a Ph.D in clinical psychology from Adelphi University, per Forbes.</p>

<p>Mary is listed as a contributor on a 2002 book called <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=A9ad7_HELXwC&amp;pg=PR17&amp;lpg=PR17&amp;dq=mary+trump+adelphi&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=uq25Npvc5U&amp;sig=ACfU3U2B8ZKIoRhp5oV8W-ki-DNJLGIlJw&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwii5rWm7YLqAhXiRTABHT0uAq4Q6AEwDXoECBIQAQ#v=onepage&amp;q=trump&amp;f=false" id="78e8843f-6cf6-3dbb-ac36-a440d7bb10d2">  Diagnosis: Schizophrenia. A Comprehensive Resource for Patients, Families and Helping Professionals </a> . The book was technically written by Rachel Miller and Susan E. Mason, and Mary was a doctoral student at Adelphis Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at the time.</p>

<p>At least, as far as Trumps go. Mary has a <a href="https://twitter.com/maryltrump?lang=en" id="1fd17118-05fb-31f5-abf6-ad9fe5a44b73">  Twitter </a> account but she hasnt posted on it since 2018. She seems to be more liberal than her family, thoughher bio says Black Lives Matter and she has an emoji of the LGBTQ flag.</p>

<h1>  Shes not afraid to be a whistle-blower.  </h1>

<p>According to the <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/mary-trump-donald-trumps-niece-is-writing-a-tell-all-book-that-details-how-she-leaked-tax-papers-to-nyt" id="f33c8320-0842-34a5-a4a7-51fd5ab422a0">  Daily Beast </a> , Mary shares in her book that she was the main source for <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-schemes-fred-trump.html" id="accd04dc-3271-3f49-aeb9-786326d608c4">  The New York Times </a> ' 2018 investigation that found Trump helped his parents dodge taxes in the 1990s. Those actions, the investigation found, helped him to build up a fortune.</p>

<h1>  Her book is going to be explosive.  </h1>

<p>According to Simon &amp; Shuster, Marys book shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the worlds health, economic security, and social fabric.</p>

Donald Trumps niece Mary Trump hasnt been in the spotlight as much as <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a32460832/donald-trump-kids/" id="69c473be-9393-3145-abe7-edeaf2c5d5f4">  some of her other family members </a> , but shes suddenly getting a lot of attention.

<p><a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/a31993736/teddi-mellencamp-post-pregnancy-photos/" id="86aa5edd-7a51-31c0-aeaf-7fabf503f2c9">  Teddi Mellencamp </a> welcomed her third childdaughter Dovein February, and shes regularly posted cute pics of her baby on Instagram ever since. But, while Teddi just shared an adorable closeup of Dove in a new post, the message next to it was serious.</p>

<p>Dealing with anxiety, especially when in the public eye, isnt easy; and going into July its at an all-time high, Teddi began. I was torn as to whether I should share this information, but as someone who tries to be as transparent as possible, and knowing I have a platform to reach others in similar situations, I would like to update you all.</p>

<p>Teddi then shared that Dove was diagnosed with lambdoid craniosynostosis and has to undergo neurosurgery at the end of the month.</p>

<p>Craniosynostosis is a condition where the sutures (i.e. growth seams) in an infants skull close too early, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth, according to the <a href="https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/non-syndromic-craniosynostosis" id="b4757e57-8988-3cbc-a974-c2ca29ee34ef">  Childrens Hospital of Philadephia </a> (CHOP).</p>

<p>There are different types of craniosynostosis, but lambdoid craniosynostosis involves the two seams located on the back of the skull. CHOP says this is very rare but can cause a trapezoid shape to the head, a flattening to the back of the head, and displacement of the ear toward the back of the head or set lower than the unaffected ear.</p>

<p>There are different forms of surgery available for craniosynostosis, according to <a href="https://www.chop.edu/treatments/surgical-treatment-craniosynostosis" id="0f32588b-f5d8-3221-af6e-669e5ea9a6ce">  CHOP </a> , and each has a different recovery time.</p>

<p>Teddi said that she and her family originally thought that Dove had torticollis, a twisting of the neck that causes a babys head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle, per <a href="https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/torticollis-wryneck" id="bdb52733-681b-35f8-a83e-09b5108b9643">  Johns Hopkins Medicine </a> . But a CT scan showed that she actually had lambdoid craniosynostosis.</p>

<p>The recovery is about a week in the hospital and a couple weeks at home with a very high success rate, Teddi continued. So although we are filled with nerves as neurosurgery sounds scary, we have our faith that she will be OK. </p>

<p>She ended on this note: Please keep baby Dove in your prayers and if you have had a child with this same surgery, please let me know below, as I would love any additional insight and support. Sending to you all.</p>

Now, Christine says the day was pretty intense for her, and it had nothing to do with the whole getting married part: She says she had <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a31406983/when-will-coronavirus-end/" id="87475b34-347e-3e89-a77e-3e8e23223637">  COVID-19 </a> at the time.</p>

<p>I was really, really sick on my wedding day. I actually had what I now know is corona, Christine said over the weekend on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CCRMti8Jdgi/" id="018598fe-645b-3dd1-af0f-036d2a3f63ea">  Goss.ies Goss Chats </a> . I got really sick in late December and we were traveling, and I was sick for about a month when we were filming. I couldnt even have a bachelorette party. I was so bummed about that because I was so sick.</p>

<p>FWIW: The <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/27-04-2020-who-timeline---covid-19?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6-rF-u646gIVCQiICR3fVAYTEAAYASAAEgKT6fD_BwE" id="50d9f400-3784-3639-addd-fa8d480c3b13">  World Health Organization </a> (WHO) says that <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a31674736/coronavirus-bats/" id="96186b35-f6f0-3e52-a714-d5a647fc7deb">  COVID-19 was first detected </a> in late December 2019 after a cluster of cases of pneumonia appeared in Wuhan, China. The first known case of the virus in the U.S. was diagnosed on January 20, 2020, per the <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/6/20-0516_article" id="4f24f189-f8b8-3c7a-aa3d-3515c7d147e1">  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention </a> (CDC), and the virus started spreading in the U.S. in February, the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6915e4.htm#:~:text=Community%20transmission%20of%20COVID%2D,of%20COVID%2D19." id="79cf7e6f-ee32-3187-a1e9-3d0ec5001f0e">  CDC </a> says.</p>

<p>Christine said that her wedding to Christian Richard was definitely a high point for her but that it was also a low at the same time because she was so sick. </p>

<p>Christine has shared a few photos of herself from her engagement party on Instagram (check out this cool one of her with a zebra):</p>

<p>While she hasnt specifically called out any pics as being from her wedding, she wore a dress that looks a lot like this one in the teaser trailer for season three: </p>

<p>Christine and Christian got married in a winter wonderland-themed ceremony in Los Angeles. And, of course, she says there was drama. </p>

<p>Theres always drama in every single scene, but yeah, there was definitely drama at my wedding, Christina said on Goss Chats. I wasnt privy to it though, but I sort of saw and heard it going on. So, thatll be interesting to see.</p>

<h1>  Shes a socialite with a ton of connections.  </h1>

Ghislaine Maxwell (far right) pictured with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald and Melania Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2000.

<p>Maxwell is usually described as a British socialite and heiress. Shes the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a media tycoon who owned a slew of publishing companies, including the Daily Mirror. Maxwell ran with an influential group and has been pictured next to Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg, and Elon Musk, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/12/she-was-so-dangerous-where-in-the-world-is-the-notorious-ghislaine-maxwell" id="c732d0b6-940c-3e20-a981-c6c39cf6d3f1">  The Guardian </a> .
