Mascara is magical, but only when it's actually on your lashes — not smeared all over your face after rubbing your eyes all day. Red, irritated eyes can ruin your entire makeup look, especially when it's your mascara that's causing the irritation in the first place. Luckily for anyone whose eyes are more sensitive than Lady Gaga every time she talks about A Star Is Born, hypoallergenic mascara exists.

"Eyelids in general are a very sensitive area and a lot of contact allergens can affect the eyelids," says board-certified dermatologist Shari Sperling, MD. "The benefit of hypoallergenic mascara is that it decreases the risk of allergies. You see a lot of allergic reactions on the eyelids because this thin skin is such a sensitive area."

Hypoallergenic options are free of harsh ingredients that can irritate the eyes and skin, and the best part? These products aren't hard to find. We rounded up the best mascaras that won't bring you to tears, ahead.

Kylie Cosmetics' Setting Powder Kept My Face Flawless For 15 Hours

The Unlikely Eyeshadow Trend You'll Be Wearing This Spring

Green Concealer Is The Secret Weapon Your Makeup Bag Is Missing

Today, Target, the store where you can get essentials like bread, socks, and shampoo, as well as non-essentials like gummy snacks, yet another pair of yoga pants, and nail polish in a shade you definitely thought you didn't already have, announced that a brand new collection of wine is hitting its shelves early next month.

Target's newest exclusive collection of wines is actually called The Collection and includes five varietals, a Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Wine Blend, Rosé, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay. Though "The Collection," might not be the most creative name for a wine lineup, the physical wine labels do feature a creative abstract design. The labels were created by the in-house Target Creative team and the colorful brush-stroke motifs were inspired by the process of making wine.

The Collection joins Target's $5 California Root wine lineup, which was first released back in 2017. Though these new wines are more expensive than the California Roots bottles they still have an affordable price point at $9.99 each. That means they'll be easy to throw in the shopping cart along with all your other non-essentials during you're first trip to Target after the line's official release on March 3.

Take a look ahead to see all the labels and each varietal's tasting notes.

The Jones Sisters Got The Queer Eye Glow Up This Weekend & Sold Out Of Their Famous BBQ Sauce

The Jones Sisters From Queer Eye Bottle Their Famous BBQ Sauce — Here's How To Buy It

Jussie Smollett has turned himself in to Chicago authorities, according to a tweet from The Associated Press. Anthony Guglielmi, the Chief Communications Officer for the Chicago Police Department, also confirmed that police currently have Smollett in custody. Wednesday evening, the Chicago Police Department confirmed on Twitter that charges of disorderly conduct had been brought against Smollett for allegedly filing a false police report.

"Felony criminal charges have been approved by @CookCountySAO against Jussie Smollett for Disorderly Conduct / Filing a False Police Report," reads the tweet. "Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest."

Representation for Smollett gave the following statement Wednesday evening: "Like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this one where information, both true and false, has been repeatedly leaked."

If found guilty, Smollett could face up to three years in prison.

This post was originally published on February 20, 2019.

According to a tweet from the Chief Communications Officer at the Chicago Police Department, Empire star Jussie Smollett is officially considered a suspect in connection to his alleged attack in the city earlier this month.

Per the tweet, Smollett — who previously claimed that he was attacked by two men who doused him in bleach, threw racial and homophobic slurs at him, and put a rope around his neck — is now a suspect for the crime of filing a false police report.

“Case Update: Jussie Smollett is now officially classified as a suspect in a criminal investigation by #ChicagoPolice for filing a false police report (Class 4 felony),” the tweet reads. “Detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County Grand Jury.”

This news comes after brothers Olabinjo Osundairo and Abimbola Osundairo were arrested in connection to the alleged attack last week and then released Friday. New reports about the brothers’ alleged involvement have surfaced in the days since they were cleared.

Smollett has maintained his innocence in the situation. A statement from his lawyer last week reads, per Variety:

"As a victim of a hate crime who has cooperated with the police investigation, Jussie Smollett is angered and devastated by recent reports that the perpetrators are individuals he is familiar with. He has now been further victimized by claims attributed to these alleged perpetrators that Jussie played a role in his own attack. Nothing is further from the truth and anyone claiming otherwise is lying."

Refinery29 has reached out to Smollett and the Chicago Police Department for comment.

It's been a rough Black History Month. The news cycle is overcome with racist tropes and iconography — from fashion brands, especially. But the Carters are singlehandedly doing their best to lift the mood. Beyoncé is on Instagram giving the Bey Hive more outfit posts (in her usual triptych), sporting Black designers, and most recently, giving a shout out to the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.

On Wednesday, Beyoncé and Jay Z accepted the Brit Award for Best International Group via video recording. In it, the pair stands in a white room, in front of what appears to be a custom portrait of the former Suits star turned Duchess of Sussex. For the moment, Beyoncé wore a printed pantsuit resembling a watercolor painting by British designer Peter Pilotto. Princess Eugenie also wore Pilotto for her royal wedding to Jack Brooksban.

The photo, of course, it a nod to their "Apeshit" video, partially shot in the Louvre, which ends with the couple looking at Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. On Instagram, Beyoncé shared why it was important to honor the American princess.

Thank you to the Brits for the award for Best International Group. I won this award back in 2002 with my besties, Kelly and Michelle. How lucky am I to have been in a group with my other best friend, the GOAT Hova. 🙌🏾 In honor of Black History Month, we bow down to one of our Melanated Monas. Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy.

"Thank you to the Brits for the award for Best International Group," the caption began. "I won this award back in 2002 with my besties, Kelly and Michelle.

Congrats on your pregnancy! We wish you so much joy."

The painting was created by Tim O'Brien, an American artist who originally created the art for Markle's sorority's alumni magazine. He told the website he was surprised to see his painting in the video. "I'm all for it," O'Brien told CNN Style. "I love Beyoncé, like most people do, and Jay Z, too. He commented on the gravity of showcasing Black beauty in one of the world's best art museums, saying: "The world is changing. The face of beauty is changing for the better."

J.Lo's 15 Carat Emerald Ring Is A Stunner — Here's 15 Engagement Rings That Look Just Like It

There’s enough material in Harriet Tubman ’s biography to fill an entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her achievements are herculean: an escaped slave herself, she was instrumental in organizing the Underground Railroad, and would help ferry hundreds of people to freedom; later, she was a well-known abolitionist speaker, and even served as a scout for the Union Army during the Civil War. She’s an American hero, a warrior and an activist who saved countless lives, and whose life story seems tailor-made for the big screen.

That’s why it’s shocking that it’s taken so long for Hollywood to make a proper biopic about her. Multiple attempts over the years came to naught — in 2015, Viola Davis was in talks to develop a project for HBO that she would produce and star in, but that fell through. Shows like WGN’S Underground and NBC’s Timeless have devoted storylines to her character, but they’ve been supporting, rather than driving the main plot. As a result, the most in-depth portrayal of Tubman’s achievements dates back to 1978, when NBC aired A Woman Called Moses, a two part-mini series narrated by Orson Welles, and starring Cicely Tyson.

Until now. Harriet, an upcoming biopic directed by Kasi Lemmons ( Eve’s Bayou) and starring Cynthia Erivo, will finally give Tubman the film treatment she deserves. The first stills from the movie were published by People just in time for Black History Month, with a release planned for later this year.

In a phone interview with Refinery29, Lemmons revealed some of the plot details, and responded to the backlash against Erivo’s casting.

Refinery29: What can viewers expect to see in the movie?

Kasi Lemmons: “It's the life of Harriet Tubman, but it just covers the period between when she escapes from slavery, and then the next 10 years. It does touch a little bit on the Civil War, but it most of it takes place in the decade after she escaped from slavery in 1849.”

Why did you choose to focus on that particular time in her life?

“The images that we see of Harriet Tubman and the way we're used to thinking of her is of a much older person, but to think what she did when she was a young woman is quite extraordinary.

That period of her life [is what] we often refer to, [but] we don't really have a lot of [visuals] from that period, when she was really doing her superwoman thing. She's this incredible figure. And it's also, of course, an incredibly poignant and interesting time in the country. Just so much turbulence, and Congress trying to appease the South to stave off the Civil War, but [there are] all these tensions brewing, and all this uncertainty and paranoia on the part of the South. The country [was] really trying to determine its national identity. Everybody feels that war is coming, and yet it's the catastrophe that nobody wanted to come.It's almost unimaginable, and yet it's right around the corner. It's a very interesting time in American history, and it's a very interesting time in Harriet Tubman's life.

As you were describing the mood of the country back then, I, for a second, felt like you were referring to the political climate today — were those parallels on your mind as you were filming?

“Yes, unfortunately it's on my mind that this is a country that is still awash in its turbulent history. We're still definitely suffering the trauma, and the after-effects of slavery. And that expresses itself in various ways. Obviously, there was so much progress that we felt, in [Barack] Obama being president. Look at where we had come in a relatively short amount of time, to come to a place where a Black man is president, and yet look what happened right after with the backlash. The way it swung, it was obviously incredibly polarizing. Right now it feels like we've been pulling a slingshot back in time, and it's incredibly frightening.”

It seems unimaginable that it’s taken so long for a biopic like this to get made. Do you feel like there's a real will now to finally not only tell a story about Black leaders, but also Black women leaders?

“Certainly I hope so. We're in a wonderful time for recognizing women. It's not been for lack of trying. People [have been] trying to make a Harriet Tubman movie for a long time. It's hard to get movies made, and it's hard to get movies made about Black people, and it's hard to get movies made with a woman protagonist. So, there are lots of reasons why it has been an uphill battle that many people have been valiantly fighting. I'm just very thrilled and honored that I've got the opportunity to do it.”

You made your directorial debut with Eve’s Bayou back in 1997 — do you feel that we’ve made tangible progress in terms of representation behind the camera, not just for women, but women of color?

“It's a completely different time. That was 22 years ago — a long time, and yet a relatively short period of time in some ways. In 1997, it seemed to me that we were on the brink of something right then that took a whole lot longer than we expected it would. On the other hand, when we think of the few of us that were working then, making movies, we were unicorns, and now we're definitely not. Now, there are a lot of women, a lot of African American women working in the entertainment industry, [but] statistics are still pretty abysmal. Those things are way out of whack. But at the same time, I don’t feel like a unicorn. It's been awhile since I have.”

It's interesting what you were saying about the late '90s, that it seemed like we were on the cusp of change. The fact that Spike Lee's just now getting his first nomination for best director —

“Exactly!”

— definitely reflects that.

“Amazing, right? That's astonishing.”

Cynthia Erivo was already attached to the project when you came on board, but what is it about her that appealed to you for this role?

“When I met Cynthia, I already had this picture of who this young woman was: very petite, very powerful and very spiritual, who could sing and who was an incredible mimic, and who had to be an incredible actress. All of a sudden, I'm looking at this woman that is all of these things. There's an athlete and a singer and an actress. I ask myself always ‘Do I believe it?’ That's what I tell my students [at NYU]. When you make a casting choice, do you believe it? And I sat with her, and I believed it. She brings Harriet Tubman to life.

There’s been backlash from those who believe a British woman shouldn't portray such a specifically American icon. How would you respond to that criticism?

“I just don't think that there should be those kind of rules in movies. I want an actress that I can believe, and that I can get behind, and that I trust to bring a character to life. It's art and it's acting. There has to be things that feel right about it. So, when I'm looking at an actress, and I'm saying, ‘Okay, I'm looking for a petite woman who's an athlete, who's spiritual, who's powerful, and who has recent ancestors from West Africa,’ and who I'm looking at [is] a petite, powerful athlete, singer with recent ancestors from West Africa — to me, it’s right. It's correct.So, though I really appreciate and respect the argument, I do. I understand it. I respect all kinds of arguments about those things, and a sensitivity to our own history and ownership. For me, thinking of making rules or having to have a passport to play characters is a little bit dangerous.”

What was it about Harriet Tubman that you found most surprising?

“I think that as much as we feel that we know about her in our limited education that we get in school and everything, there were a lot of things that I didn't know. The mysticism is what first drew me in. She was this Joan of Arc character. It's difficult to explain how she was able to do her thing if you discount mysticism. But there are lots and lots and lots of things that I learned about her that really were quite surprising and wonderful, and I can't wait for people to see.”

Do you feel a sense of responsibility or pressure in telling such an important story?

“Absolutely. Of course, which is why I immersed myself in research and really tried to bring Harriet Tubman, the actual Harriet Tubman, to film. I spent a lot of time and energy immersing myself in her, and really trying to connect with her on a spiritual level. It got to a point where I felt that she was with me all the time. When we were shooting, we felt that she was with us every day.”

All The Wild Facts That Didn’t Make It Into Abducted In Plain Sight

Netflix Finally Removes Disaster Footage From Bird Box After Outrage

Oh My God, Olivia Jade Was In Eighth Grade

We may have met Lana Condor as Lara Jean Covey in To All The Boys I've Loved Before, but in reality, the 21-year-old actress is nothing like the timid high-schooler that she plays onscreen. Condor does share Lara Jean's earnest, genuine nature, but these days, you'd see Bradley Cooper as Jackson Maine IRL before seeing Condor in Covey's signature girl-next-door ponytail.

While there's a lot to admire about her breakout character — Lara Jean's big heart and intelligence are just two things we wouldn't mind borrowing — there's even more to love about Condor. Not only has she landed edgier roles since, starring as Koyomi in Alita: Battle Angel and Saya Kuroki on SYFY's new series Deadly Class, but she's proved to be the budding beauty icon we never expected from the lead in a rom-com that's about a teenager who still writes love letters.

During a pit stop at the Refinery29 offices while on a press tour for Alita, Condor talked to us about her new blue highlights, her long-time love for eyelashes, and the two things she'll never do for a role. Turns out, she's willing to take risks Lara Jean never could — well, you know, not until her little sister made her.

You've been rocking so many fun looks lately, like fake bangs and now these blue highlights. What's inspired you to try so many new hairstyles?
"I've have been promoting Alita: Battle Angel for a couple weeks now and my character in the movie has purple hair, so I spoke to my hairstylist Matt Fugate and said it'd be cool to bring some of the color from the movie into real life. He pulled a bunch of extensions and dyed them all different colors. We ended up choosing a purple extension that I wore in L.A. and now I'm wearing this silvery, blue tint. It's Matt's mission to show that you can do fun things with short hair, not just long hair."

You had super-long hair for awhile, right?
"My hair was so long. I didn't notice how long it was until I saw it on camera and was like, 'What?!'"

View this post on Instagram

I’m shooting season 1 of @deadlyclasssyfy and they chopped off all my hair, and subsequently also saved me so much money now on shampoo and conditioner 🙈

A post shared by @ lanacondor on Sep 2, 2018 at 11:22am PDT

Were you nervous when you found out you had to cut it so short for Deadly Class?
"I was on a plane headed to Vancouver for the shoot, but it wasn't until we landed and I turned on my phone that I saw an email telling me to go to the studio for a camera test where they were going to cut off all of my hair. I just said, 'Screw it!' I'd rather cut it than have to wear a wig for the run of the show. I like it, I really do. Short hair is easier and it saves money."

You've been maintaining the short hair, but what's going to happen when you start shooting the ToAll The Boys I've Loved Before sequel? What's the fate of Lara Jean's hair?
"I'm probably going to have to wear extensions because her hair is such a big part of her character. She just had such long hair in the first movie that I think we have to keep it long."

I'd love to see Lara Jean cut her hair!
"I know! I was talking to the producers about that, like, what if she gets a haircut? I don't know, we'll see. I haven't gotten a concrete answer yet."

If you could control Lara Jean's look, what would you have her change about her signature ponytail?
"She wears her hair up when she's insecure, so I'd tell her to wear her hair down more. I'd be like, 'Girl, put your hair down. Live your life!'"

A post shared by @lanacondor on Jul 26, 2017 at 9:12am PDT

Now we know you're not afraid of going through a physical transformation for a role thanks to Deadly Class, but do you have any character deal breakers?
"I have two deal breakers right now. One is I have to have eyelashes. That is an ego thing of mine, but it's a deal breaker. Everyone on everything I've worked on knows that. I have to have extensions, or strips, or individuals. I love eyelashes so much. The second is I don't know if I'd ever shave my head for a role at this point, but that could always change."

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @lanacondor on Jan 23, 2019 at 7:38pm PST

Saya's tattoos on Deadly Class make her look so badass. Does that make you want tattoos in real life?
"Kind of. I have full sleeves, a chest piece, and full back tattoo on the show, which you haven't seen yet, but it's down to my butt. I don't want a full back tattoo in real life, but there was a moment when I wanted a half-sleeve and then very quickly thought my mom would kill me. Saya's tattoos are just so big. I might get a little tattoo. If I did, the only thing I'd get right now would be my birth name because I'm adopted. My brother has a tattoo on his chest of the date we were adopted. That's sort of something I'd do."

You spend hours turning into Saya for the show. Is there a part of your beauty routine you're religious about doing when you're off set?
"I'm so into skin care. It is very rare if I fall asleep with my makeup on. I have to be desperate for sleep to do that. I also always do under-eye stuff. I have discoloration under my eyes and major bags because sometimes sleep isn't really a thing for me, so I do a lot of patches, serums, and creams under my eyes. I'm that girl that will wear masks in public — on planes, taxis, Ubers."

What about nails? Are you committed to getting frequent manicures or trendy nail art?
"I'm not really rigid about having my nails done unless it's for press. In Deadly Class, I have really gross nails and I love it. I'm actually a nail biter; it's the biggest comfort to bite them. Now I have these long nails on, so I can't. Sometimes I'll be running from shooting the show straight to New York for something else and still have my gross, bleeding nails from the show and I love it. But I also love red nail polish. I've never tried nail art. I would try it, but I love red."

Kat Von D Finally Addresses Nazi & Anti-Vax Rumors — But Fans Aren't Convinced

Taylor Swift Wore 2019's Hottest Hair Color On The Red Carpet

Update: Although the Kylie x Jordyn collection is very much still live and full-price on the Kylie Cosmetics website, fans just noticed something else on the site that may be quite telling. The Jordy Lip Kit, which was clearly named after Jordyn Woods, is currently half-off, leading fans to wonder if this is the beginning of Jenner's maybe-former best friend being wiped off the site. Also of note: the Shady Lip Kit (which kind of speaks for itself, no?) is also half-off, along with a smattering of other seemingly random lip kits, too. Though this could easily just be a well-timed sale, is anything the Kardashian-Jenner family does ever really random?

This post was originally published on February 21.

Jordyn Woods and Kylie Jenner were once inseparable. They vacationed together, lived together, kept nine-month, airtight secrets together. It was a partnership that spread from personal to business, too, with Jenner bringing Woods on to do a special Kylie x Jordan collection for Kylie Cosmetics this past September, including lip glosses and eyeshadow and highlighter palettes with illustrations of the BFFs printed on the packaging.

But then this weekend happened, and all hell broke loose. Woods was reportedly caught kissing Tristan Thompson, the NBA player boyfriend of Jenner's older half-sister Khloé Kardashian, leaving her friendship with Kylie in the crossfire. As questions swirl around the legitimacy of the rumors, fans are especially interested in what this means for the famous friends. Starting with: Will Woods have to move out of Jenner's home? (apparently yes). And now: What the hell is going to happen to that Kylie x Jordyn collab?

Like, are we getting a sale?

— Bekah Berger (@BekahBerger) February 21, 2019

Or, more dramatically, are the products going to be scrubbed from the website entirely?

if I was Kylie, I’d pull that whole Kylie X Jordyn collection! GONE!!!

— FULL MOON CHILD (@sirgagalooXO) February 20, 2019

What we can tell you is that, as of Thursday morning, all the Kylie x Jordyn products are still up on the site and not yet on sale. In fact, the Kylie x Jordyn Collection bundle, which goes for $124, is sold out, though people have started selling discounted ones on eBay. On top of that, Jenner still hasn't scrubbed Woods from her own Instagram account, even though Khloé Kardashian wiped Thompson from hers and Kim Kardashian West unfollowed both Thompson and Woods.

That being said though, people are having a time in the product review section of some of these palettes. As one reviewer wrote on the Jordyn Palette: "Great for a night out with the girls or cheating with my BFF's sister's baby daddy. 5/5 would recommend for all shady occasions!"

This review on the Kylie X Jordyn eyeshadow palette though pic.twitter.com/GvOOyPTY0L

— Stacey (@thisisstace) February 21, 2019

Since we feel like something is bound to happen with this collab soon, as with any Kardashian drama, we're sure Kris Jenner will settle this one with grace — and probably a fat check.

Taylor Swift Wore 2019's Hottest Hair Color On The Red Carpet

A Coast Guard officer and self-described white nationalist charged with amassing weapons and drugs also allegedly planned a domestic terror attack targeting high-profile figure such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Kamala Harris, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, and others, according to court documents filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland on Tuesday.

Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, 49, was described by prosecutors in the complaint as a "domestic terrorist" who aimed "to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country." He was first arrested Friday and charged with illegal possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance.

But authorities say the arrest was just the "tip of the iceberg" as they seized 15 firearms and more than 1,000 rounds of mixed ammunition. Investigators also discovered a cache of draft emails in which Hasson espoused white nationalist views such as "dreaming of a white homeland" and a list of targets, which also included MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes, CNN commentator Van Jones, and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker.

Hasson admits in the discovered correspondence that he had been a "skinhead" when he first joined the military in 1988. That extremist views exist among military ranks is not a new story: According to a 2017 poll by Military Times, nearly one in four troops who participated in the poll said they've witnessed examples of white nationalism and other extremist views among their fellow service members. Hasson also said to be inspired by Anders Breivik, the Norwegian far-right terrorist who murdered 77 people, including children, in a 2011 attack. Court documents did not outline details for a specific attack or its date, but said that Hasson has been hoarding weapons and supplies at least for the past two years. He also Googled phrases such as "best place in dc to see congress people" and "are supreme court justices protected."

Per the complaint, he wrote in a 2017 draft email: "I am dreaming of a way to kill every last person on Earth." His detention hearing in federal court is set for Thursday afternoon.

Government officials said 24-year-old Hoda Muthana, a U.S.-born woman who joined the Islamic State, is not allowed back on U.S. soil.

"I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country!" President Donald Trump tweeted on Wednesday.

"She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport, nor any visa to travel to the United States," Pompeo said in a statement. "We continue to strongly advise all U.S. citizens not to travel to Syria."

Muthana reportedly left Alabama in 2014, telling her parents she was going to a university event in Turkey. But she was smuggled into Syria, where she met with ISIS and allegedly began spreading online propaganda on its behalf.

There, she was captured by Kurdish forces after escaping ISIS-held territory and now lives in a refugee camp in northern Syria with her young son. She said she has been brainwashed and "deeply regrets " joining the terrorist group, and wants to return home to her family in Alabama.

Charlie Swift, director of the Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, who is representing her family, told the New York Times that after she joined ISIS, her family received a letter saying that her U.S. passport had been revoked.

According to David Leopold, a former president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, associating with a terrorist group is not necessarily grounds to revoke someone's citizenship. "If the passport was a legitimate passport and she was a U.S. citizen, nothing that Pompeo says takes away her citizenship," Leopold told the NYT. Another lawyer, who is advising the family, said that Muthana "is trying to turn herself in to federal authorities and face consequences for her actions."

When it comes to small space living, there's a lot of misinformation out there. To be fair, it mostly comes from a place of good intentions — you can take solace in the fact that nobody's trying to sabotage your pint-sized home makeover. But what works for a cozy dorm room may not shine in 400-square-foot NYC apartment, just like what flatters a refurbished basement unit may not be the thing for a rustic Los Angeles bungalow. Small spaces, while they share in common their diminutive size, are often otherwise very different.

But then, there are the things that are, almost universally, just plain bad ideas. Sometimes it's a look that has (for good reason) fallen out of style, or a strategy supposedly meant to maximize the space in a room that, in actuality, ends up being confusing, distracting, or just plain hard to keep clean. Sure, most home decor mistakes are fixable, but why make them in the first place if you can avoid it? That's why we polled four interior design experts on the small space mishaps they see most often, plus how to avoid them.

Day One

4:30 a.m. — Alarm goes off and I hop in the shower. I like to get up early to start my day with some quiet coffee time before my husband, R., and the kids get up.

5:30 a.m. — Kids are up and hungry, of course. They split a banana, and A. asks for Cheerios and marshmallows in a baggie. We mix Honey Nut Cheerios with regular Cheerios for this type of snack, and she gets three marshmallows. Of course, I can never find the snack cups with lids for D., so he gets a small cup with Cheerios, which he proceeds to dump on the floor. Awesome. We are out the door at 6:20 on our way to daycare.

6:30 a.m. – Daycare isn't open. WTF, it's supposed to open at 6:30. These parents are about to riot. A. is having fun running around with one of her friends, and D. is trying to keep up with them. My work is flexible with hours, so I try not to stress. I have mellowed a lot since having A. I'm very routine-driven, and things like this used to send me spiraling into anger. I'm calm and relaxed this morning.

6:45 a.m. — Driving into work and traffic isn't too terrible, but I do get hung up behind an accident. I download the new single by my favorite band, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and pre-order their new album coming out in April. I don't have to pay until then for that, but I pay $1.39 for the single. $1.39

11:30 a.m. — Lunchtime! I go out with my coworkers to Jersey Mike's (my favorite sandwich shop). Their prices seem to have gone up, because the meal is $13.89! $13.89

12:15 p.m. — When we get back, I go ahead and file our taxes with TurboTax. I entered all the data a week or two ago, so I scan over and double-check my entries before submitting. I pay a $42.63 fee for filing. $42.63

4 p.m. — I leave work a little early to go work out. R. and I joined our local 9Round gym in December, and we each try to go two or three times a week. I get there by 4:45 and finish up at about 5:15, just in time to rush home and cook dinner (spaghetti) before R. gets home with the kids. Our cleaning lady came today, and walking into a clean house is the best feeling.

6:30 p.m. — We finish up dinner and it's a bath night, so we work our way upstairs for that. After baths, teeth brushing, and play time, it is off to bed. R. puts A. to bed rather quickly tonight so he can squeeze in a workout at 9Round before it closes at 8.

8 p.m. — I finish putting D. to bed and do the dishes so R. won't have to worry about them when he gets home. Still kind of energized, I fry up a few eggs to add to my breakfast mix for the week. R. likes to have instant oatmeal packets for breakfast, so I make up a batch of those to store in the pantry so he can grab them in the morning and heat them up at work. R. gets back home and we chat about how tough the workout was today. He got gas for his car ($26.45) at Kroger on the way home. $26.45

9:15 p.m. — I climb into bed and read a bit before passing out by 9:30 p.m.

Daily Total: $84.36

Day Two

5 a.m. — So much for my quiet time. D. woke up, which then woke A. up. A. plays in her room until one of us comes in to get her, which is something we have been working on for months. She has gotten herself dressed, but she put on her favorite dress, which she can't wear to school today because it's a uniform day. I spend 10 minutes persuading her to change clothes while commending her for getting herself up and dressed like a big girl. I need more coffee if I'm going to play these mind games this early.

7 a.m. — Arrive at work. Traffic was kind to me today. I heat up my breakfast (sweet-potato hash I prepped on Sunday) and start scrolling through emails while making a to-do list. It's going to be a busy day, so I finish breakfast and get my second cup of coffee from the pot in the kitchen, adding the Hazelnut Nutpods I can't live without.

11:30 a.m. — My coworkers are going to Zoe's for lunch, but I brought leftover spaghetti and an orange sparkling water and need to work through lunch to make up for the time I took off yesterday to go work out. I take some time to check in with my favorite food blogger, Iowa Girl Eats, saving her latest recipe in my meal-plan app to try later.

3:30 p.m. — I am supposed to leave work a little early to go to an appointment with my counselor. I have been dealing with postpartum anxiety and depression since D. was born and have been seeing her off and on since then. But she texts me as I'm walking to my car, saying that she is sick and needs to reschedule. So back to work I go for another hour. Normally, I would pay $71.80 for this visit.

5 p.m. — I offer to pick up the kids from daycare, even though R. usually does it. Once we get home, I get each of them a small snack and put on their favorite Netflix show while I cook dinner: one-pot red beans and rice. R. gets home soon after we do. He stopped to pick up his dry cleaning ($6.02), which covers about a week and a half of dress shirts. $6.02

7 p.m. — After some play time, since it isn't a bath night, R. and I divide and conquer bedtime by each putting a kid to bed. Afterward, he tackles the dishes while I go for a run. I'm training for a 5K and trying to convince myself I'm a runner. I take one of our dogs with me for safety, since it's already dark.

9 p.m. — I figured I'd be wide awake after my run, but honestly I'm exhausted, so I fall into bed and read for a few minutes before going to sleep. R. is watching TV for some quiet personal time after everyone is asleep. We are so opposite when it comes to this kind of thing!

Daily Total: $6.02

Day Three

5:15 a.m. — I get D. from his crib and nurse him for a few minutes. He's 17 months old, and I'm desperately ready to wean him, but he's been very resistant to that idea. We take it day by day, and I'm not up for the tantrum this morning.

6:50 a.m. — R. offered to take the kids to daycare for me today! I take this opportunity to treat myself and stop for breakfast at Kolache Factory. I buy three kolaches and a Coke for $8.52. This is so not helping my health goals, but it's nice every now and then. I drive the rest of the way to work and dive in for the day. $8.52

11:30 a.m. — My coworkers are going out to lunch, but I decided to stay in and work while eating my leftover red beans and rice. I want to leave an hour early today to make it to 9Round. I spend some time looking over our February budget in YNAB. R. mentioned he wants to upgrade his cell phone and has a rebate offer that is hard to pass up.

2 p.m. — The project I am working on is requiring a lot of sitting and waiting for analyses to run on my computer, and I can barely keep my eyes open. I get a cup of coffee from the kitchen and — score, it was just made! I'm out of my Nutpods, so I just use the gross creamer out of desperation. I'll have to swing by Kroger sometime tonight to restock.

4 p.m. — Leaving work to go to 9Round. R. just texted that he's stuck in a meeting and will be late getting home. Crap. I go to 9Round and then swing through Kroger to buy a few containers of Nutpods and a couple of frozen pizzas for dinner. I'm not up for cooking tonight with this last-minute change of plans. I get a call from daycare that A. is complaining her ear hurts. She said her friend put mulch in her ear, and then she told them her brother put rocks in her ear. This should be a fun evening. $24.85

7 p.m. — My night to put D. to bed. I don't offer to nurse him, and after a few side-eye looks from him and one very small tantrum, he lets me rock him to sleep without nursing! I feel like we're making progress on this weaning business.

8:30 p.m. — Kids are in bed (A.'s ear is fine, no signs of mulch) and dishes are done. We relax and watch Dating #NoFilter, which is my new guilty pleasure. This show is so funny. R. claims he doesn't like watching it, yet he recommended it tonight… After the show, we get ready for bed and he watches TV while I go to sleep.

Daily Total: $33.37

Day Four

4:30 a.m. — Alarm goes off and I hop in the shower. It's going to be an incredibly busy day, starting with R. having to be at work by 5:30 for a conference call. I'm flying solo with kids this morning, so I desperately need my quiet coffee time before they get up.

6:40 a.m. — We make it out of the house, show-and-tell items in tow (a book for D. and a semi-complete set of flash cards for A.). Drop-off was a little tough this morning — A. didn't want to stay. The hardest thing about being a working mom is leaving your kids while they are crying for mommy. This hits me hard this morning, so I run through McDonald's for a Dr. Pepper and hash brown ($2.17). This is a bad habit I developed when I returned to work after D. was born. I don't do it nearly as often as before, but it always makes me feel better. $2.17

7 a.m. — Back home to work for a little bit before a doctor appointment. I heat up one of my breakfast hash containers from Sunday. Our lawn guy comes today, so I make sure to leave cash for him out on the front porch ($35). We are on an every-other-week schedule right now due to winter.

8:30 a.m. — Doctor appointment with my OB/GYN for an annual checkup (zero payment due, since it is preventative). This is my first appointment since my post-delivery six-week checkup. After two babies, I always enjoy catching up with my doc for a few minutes. It makes the appointments more fun.

11:30 a.m. — I join my coworkers for lunch today at Torchy's Tacos, which is a major weakness of mine. We all split some queso (it was my turn to buy and share) and I order one breakfast taco (egg, brisket, potato, cheese), plus an extra tortilla and a drink. They always put so much filling in their tacos that it actually is more like two. $11.58

4 p.m. — I head home to get a run in before we start our evening. R. made it to 9Round and is cooking dinner by the time I get home. I pick up the kids from daycare, and I'm happy to hear that A. had a great day, plus I got a very positive report on her bathroom habits. (We have been in a potty-training nightmare, but finally seem to have turned the corner.)

6:15 p.m. — We load the kids up in the stroller and walk down the street to our church for our weekly small group. The kids get to eat dinner and play with their church friends, and we get some much-needed social time. One of the girls planned a scavenger hunt throughout our church, which means lots of running. Ugh, I'm exhausted, and my group lost by A LOT. It's okay, it was fun.

8:30 p.m. — Back home to get kids off to bed. Then I finish up dishes and fall into bed by 9 p.m.

Daily Total: $13.75

Day Five

5:20 a.m. — OH MY GOSH, I woke up late. I somehow turned my alarm off in the middle of the night. I guess I needed the sleep. I hop in the shower and hear D. is awake. R. goes to get him from his crib. This wakes up A. Chaos ensues. I'm so grateful for R.

6 a.m. — I meet up with a friend at Panera for breakfast. We get together every other week for an hour or so before I go to work. Having such a chaotic morning makes it hard for me to relax and think straight, but we still have a great conversation and make some progress on the Bible study we've been working on. I order a bagel and a drink. $5.51

7:15 a.m. — On my way to work, my gas light comes on. I stop at HEB to fill up. $37.03

10:30 a.m. — I grab a breakfast taco from the kitchen to tide me over until I get done with work.

2 p.m. — I finally finish up my work and head home, since we take half days on Fridays and work longer hours during the rest of the week. I lie down for a short nap because I'm exhausted, and then we have date night later! R. threw a load of towels in the wash earlier, so I move them over to the dryer. Fridays are always towel-washing day.

2:30 p.m. — I head out to run a few errands. I bought some shoes for A. at Once Upon a Child, then found a better deal at Walmart so I'm returning the shoes. Then I head to Target to return some shorts I bought A. that are too big. I browse the women's section and pick up a few shirts. $66

4 p.m. — I swing by the daycare to drop off pajamas and cash ($30). Our daycare offers a Parents Night Out (PNO) deal once a month. Our family doesn't live locally and we've had bad luck finding reliable babysitters, so we take advantage of this PNO deal. It means our kids stay there all day and into the evening, but they are comfortable and get to play with their friends. I choose not to let the guilt bother me too much, because this phase of life is HARD. R. and I have a bad habit of becoming more like roommates if we don't take these date nights. $30

5:15 p.m. — We head out a little early for our date. R. bought us tickets to check out the Buffalo Bayou Cistern, which has been on our bucket list for a while now. We are both engineers and totally geek out over the history of this water reservoir. $10

7 p.m. — We go to dinner at Pappadeaux and get a couple drinks, an appetizer, a large salad, and a bowl of soup. It's so nice to talk about life and more than just what needs to be done and who needs to be where. $94

10 p.m. — Pick the kids up from daycare. Both were sleeping soundly when we got there. We get home and tuck them into bed before heading off to bed ourselves.

Daily Total: $242.54

Day Six

5 a.m. — I wake up to the sound of A. shutting her bedroom door. I jump out of bed to get her downstairs quietly before she wakes up D. Then I make some coffee and we cuddle on the couch for a while. I get her some Cheerios and wake up R. to let him know she's awake. I make half a peanut butter sandwich, which I eat on the way to meet my running group.

8 a.m. — Finished with my run and back home. We get breakfast at Chick-fil-A before grocery shopping because I just don't feel like cooking. A. is in a tough mood because she's been up for so long already. We are having a tough day already with her attitude. It's going to be a long one. $17

10 a.m. — We finish up grocery shopping, letting A. watch a phone just to get through it (gosh, she is being difficult). We buy lots of vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, potatoes), quite a few bananas, bacon, chuck roast, deli meat, a loaf of bread, tortillas, soy sauce, chicken broth, kid smoothies, eggs, toilet paper, toothpaste, sparkling water, milk, marinara, and spaghetti. We make a meal plan each week and do all shopping over the weekend. $123

11 a.m. — Everyone is cranky, so it's early nap time today. R. takes A. and I take D. to his room. Everyone is asleep within 20 minutes.

2 p.m. — Everyone is awake again and seems to be in a better mood. I get meatloaf going for dinner tonight.

4 p.m. — I see a friend is offering free tickets to Monster Jam tonight. We talked about buying tickets weeks ago but forgot. We decide to take the tickets and head out on our way. Meatloaf can hold off until tomorrow night. We stop at Academy to buy a set of ear protection for D., since A. already has a set. $12.97

5:30 p.m. — We swing through Whataburger for a quick dinner that we can eat in the car. We pack D.'s food in our bag because he slept the whole time in the car. $17.88

6 p.m. — Parking is a nightmare, but we luck out and find a parking lot that doesn't have a long entry line. And it's right by our entry gate, too! Sometimes things just work out. $12

7 p.m. — Show starts, and D. is loving this! All the trucks are making him so happy. A. is still in a mood and just unsure about the whole thing. I'm thinking she is going through a growth spurt, because this is so uncharacteristic of her. We enjoy the show but end up leaving a little early because it's so late for the kids.

9:30 p.m. — Back home and the kids are asleep. R. and I relax in bed talking about how this was kind of a rough day with A. and about what we can do tomorrow to make for a better one.

Daily Total: $182.85

Day Seven

6 a.m. — I wake up on my own, and I'm pretty sure A. is still asleep. I very quietly take a shower and make a cup of coffee. I manage to get in about half an hour of quiet time watching Food Network! It's going to be a good day today.

8:30 a.m. — I head up to church with A. to help with our Sunday morning coffee service. She loves to think she is a grown woman like mommy and thrives on responsibility. She is a big help with getting things set up.

9:30 a.m. — I drop her off in children's church and get back to serving coffee. I love having the opportunity to do this, because it allows me time to meet new people and catch up. R. drops D. off in children's church and joins me.

12:15 p.m. — After church, I walk home with the kids while R. goes to pick up Panda Express for lunch. We play with toys until he gets home. After lunch, it's nap time, and we divide and conquer again. We are just getting D. to nap in his own room, but one of us has to stay in there the whole time to get him a good long nap. We like to split that time and each use it to read or take a nap ourselves while the other keeps laundry going and does other small chores. $21

3 p.m. — I make my breakfast for the week. I'm making a poblano breakfast casserole from Iowa Girl Eats, and it looks delicious. I also make some baked beans to toss in the oven for dinner later.

4 p.m. — Kids are both awake and in great moods, so we play for a while and then sit down to eat dinner. D. has decided that he will no longer tolerate a high chair or any chair that requires a harness. We set up a small kids' table in our dining room and let the kids eat there.

6 p.m. — For bath time, R. takes the kids while I fold a load of clothes. We agreed early on in our marriage that we both enjoy having all laundry clean on Monday mornings, so we work hard to get it all washed, folded, and put away on Sundays.

7 p.m. — It's my turn to put D. to bed, and I let him nurse when he gives me the side-eye. It's been a busy weekend, and I think we both need that connection time. As much as I'm ready to wean him, I'm still a little sad to see this time end.

8 p.m. — R. and I have a strict rule that all chores are stopped by 8 p.m. on Sunday night so that we can relax and get to bed at a reasonable time. We do just that, watch a little TV, read, and go to sleep, ready to take on another week.

With any facial, you have to trust the esthetician whose knuckles are kneading and massaging your cheekbones. But when it comes to a dermaplaning facial, that patient-provider trust is vital: You're literally letting someone touch the blade of a knife to your skin.

For those who've maybe heard about the trendy exfoliating procedure, but are a little fuzzy on the specifics (like, what's the point, and why would you subject yourself to that?), the video above will tell you everything you need to know. In the up-close-and-personal clip, dermaplaning virgin Nina heads to Facile Dermatology Boutique in West Hollywood, where she meets medical esthetician Alexa Yontz to experience a full-service dermaplane facial for the first time — and we get a front-row seat.

Like many of us in the dead of February, Nina has dry skin, which makes her a perfect candidate for the procedure. "Dermaplane is ideal for patients who have dry, dehydrated skin," says Yontz. "The treatment removes the dead skin and peach fuzz from the face, and people really like the smooth texture of their skin afterwards. They feel that makeup goes on smoother, skin-care products absorb into the skin more effectively — plus, it gives your skin an instant all-over glow."

Of course, this all sounds good, but Nina's a little wary about going under the knife. "I'm mainly nervous about the blade cutting off the top layer of my skin," she admits before the procedure. But as you'll see, it's really not as scary as it sounds — or looks, considering there's a scalpel involved.

Yontz begins the facial like an ordinary treatment: by cleansing Nina's face, then wrapping it up with a warm towel. Once Nina's skin is clean and prepped, Alexa grabs the silver razor blade, and warns Nina not to talk or make any sudden movements — she is holding a knife. Alexa then takes the scalpel and begins scraping the dead skin and teeny-tiny hair follicles off Nina's face. Watching the dry skin peel away is satisfying, and the sound of the blade scratching up against the skin is serious ASMR.

Following the scraping portion of the facial, Yontz moves onto the red-light therapy, the perfect finale for reducing inflammation and redness while stimulating collagen production in the skin. With goggles on to cover her eyes, Nina lays under the red light for a few minutes of heat and relaxation. Then, Yontz removes the LED lamp and coats Nina's skin with a generous layer of sunscreen to protect her extra-sensitive post-facial skin from the sun when she walks outside.

After the two-part treatment, Nina is radiant, and amped with her results. "My skin feels smooth, and heavily exfoliated," she says. "Honestly, despite my hesitations, I would do it again. And I'd recommend dermaplaning to anyone I know looking for a luxury exfoliating treatment."

We Tried $135 Worth Of Natural Deodorant — Here's What Worked

How To Actually Get Rid Of A Keloid — According To A Dermatologist

12 Face Masks That Are Like A Hard Refresh For Dry Winter Skin

Many young girls dream about their wedding day — they think about their dress and their partner. They imagine the venue where they’ll dance and the smiling people who'll fill the space. But as a child, all I used to dream about was being a mom. When I was younger, I wanted five kids. I couldn't wait until it was my turn. I’ve wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember.

And then it happened.

When I was 29, I became pregnant for the first time. It wasn't planned, but it was more than welcome, and I was confident that life was unfolding just as I had planned. But amidst the anticipation, in the sixth month of my pregnancy, we lost our baby. We found out around the fifth month that she was very sick and was most likely not going to make it. I was 25 weeks when I lost her. I've never experienced anything like that feeling in my life, and I had a very hard time recovering from it.

In the aftermath, I felt that the only thing that would make me feel better was getting pregnant again, but we soon found out it was going to be difficult because I had a genetic issue that would likely complicate any future pregnancies or cause my babies to be sick. My doctors advised against getting pregnant naturally, and suggested I do IVF, in-vitro fertilization. That process took over a year and a half, but after tons of emotional ups and downs, I finally found out I was expecting a healthy miracle baby girl due February 21, 2017. I felt like my turn had finally come.

Other than severe morning sickness during the first trimester, it was relatively smooth sailing up until around six months of pregnancy. I remember it so vividly: I was getting a pedicure and I looked down at my feet, only to realize they were abnormally swollen. They didn't look like they belonged to me.

That's strange, I thought as I stared at them. See, based on my pre-natal reading and research, I thought swollen feet only happened in the eighth month of pregnancy, towards the very end. And the next day, when I told my doctor, she said I must’ve eaten something salty. She said that salty foods, and the current heat (it was 90 degrees that week) , meant that I was experiencing some edema, which is intense swelling and inflammation.

“Nothing to worry about at all,” she replied.

But when the temperature dropped, my swelling didn’t wane.

But when the temperature dropped, my swelling didn’t wane. The next few weeks went by, and I started to slow down. Walking, even up a small set of stairs, started to become more difficult. Even walking on a flat surface was hard. I didn’t want to move, I didn't want to go anywhere at all. I kept thinking, So many of my friends who were pregnant were able to get around just fine. That's when I started to realize something might not be right.

As I got bigger, things got much worse. Towards the very end of my pregnancy, I was unable to walk at all. My feet were in so much pain. They looked like elephant feet. But at every visit, I asked my doctor, “Can you please look at my feet? They hurt. They're not okay. I'm not okay. What is going on here?” And my doctor kept saying, "Oh honey, that's just pregnancy!" So I trusted her. Even though I was worried, I knew that swollen feet and moving slower than usual were symptoms that happened at some point during pregnancy. I told myself that I was just experiencing them more intensely than most.

My doctor kept saying, "Oh honey, that's just pregnancy!" So I trusted her.

The week before my baby shower, I felt what I thought were contractions — I was in pain all over. But this time, my doctor didn’t dismiss my symptoms. She suspected I had developed late onset gestational diabetes. So she told me that after the weekend, I should come in and get my blood sugar tested. I had my baby shower that Sunday, and on Monday I had my husband take me to get the blood test. I had a meeting at the office that morning, so I figured I'd pop in to get the test and go straight there. Little did I know, we wouldn't be going anywhere that day.

When I got to the doctor’s office, the nurse took my blood pressure and a urine sample, which is protocol when you're pregnant. We didn’t even have to get the blood test done — right away, the nurse noticed my blood pressure was high and that I had protein in my urine. Those are the two main signs of the pregnancy condition preeclampsia , which is marked by high blood pressure and protein in urine. She told me I had to rush to the hospital to get monitored. She also told me there was a 75% chance that they were going to have to induce my labor that day.

I was three weeks early, so beyond the shock of having my baby early, I was logistically unprepared. I remember thinking, What? The baby's furniture hadn't even been delivered yet, and I didn't have my hospital bag packed.

I got to the hospital and was hooked up to monitors right away. The nurses there monitored me for four hours to see if I had another high blood pressure reading. If I did, then I definitely had preeclampsia, and they were going to have to take the baby out right away. It turned out that I didn't end up having another high blood pressure, but I wasn't leaving. I told my doctor I wouldn't go home. I felt sick and I couldn't imagine going one more day (let alone three weeks) living like this. Every part of my body hurt. She spoke to my high risk doctor, and they decided that it was probably best to induce me.

I got induced at 7 p.m. that Monday — the day after my beautiful baby shower and just hours after my doctor told me to come in for blood sugar testing.

I got induced at 7 p.m. that Monday — the day after my beautiful baby shower and just hours after my doctor told me to come in for blood sugar testing. The labor wasn’t easy. I hurt everywhere. It was hard for me to hold my breath during contractions when they told me to, and I just felt so sick inside. My gut, as it had been for a while, was telling me something was not right. But what did I know, really? I had never been through this. I guess that's just what labor is. It’s not supposed to be fun, I told myself. But deep inside I wasn’t entirely convinced.

After 17 hours of labor I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Kate Kasher. My husband and I were in heaven. Our little miracle that we had been waiting for was finally here. The nightmare was behind us, and we were so relieved.

A few hours after she was born, I was moved to my postpartum room. Some family and friends came by the hospital. During that time, one of the nurses came in and told me that Kate was breathing a bit too fast and would be taken up to the neonatal intensive unit. Immediately, my husband threw up. I started having a panic attack. All I could think was, how is this happening? I thought we were in the clear and the nightmare was over. I need my baby girl to be ok. I cannot go through this again.

The nurses took her to the NICU. They soon told us that Kate had extra fluid in her lungs and had to be hooked up to oxygen. The doctors told me she that this was something they'd seen before, and it 's often reversed itself.

I barely slept that night. When I woke up the next day, I felt a bit lightheaded. I also forgot to take my antidepressant the day before. I usually get lightheaded and a bit nauseous if I miss a dose, so I kept telling myself that was the problem. I took my medicine and shortly after my nurse took me to go see Kate in the NICU. As he was wheeling me to the elevator, the entire room started spinning. I began seeing spots. I told him he needed to turn back around and bring me to my bed, and that I wasn't feeling okay.

My Ob/Gyn called my room and asked me about my symptoms. After I described them, she told me she thought I had a blood clot on my lungs. She ordered a CT scan for me, and they sent me downstairs to get it. The CT scan didn't show a clot, but it did reveal some excess fluid surrounding my heart. My doctor called and said they were going to give me some medicine that would help me rid my system of the fluid and that I should start to feel better.

But when I got the medicine, I started to feel worse — not better.

But when I got the medicine, I started to feel worse — not better. I had been moved back into my postpartum room and was getting ready to go to bed when I really started to have difficulty breathing. I asked the nurse on-call if I could get some oxygen, since I had tightness in my chest. They hooked me up to oxygen under my nose and told me that I was probably just having a panic attack because of everything going on with the baby. I begged the nurse to stay close to me that night. I told her I really didn't feel well and that I was scared. She sat by my side until I fell asleep.

Around 5 a.m., I was woken up by a team of doctors — including my Ob/Gyn — standing around my bed. They told me my oxygen levels had dropped severely overnight and that they had to take me to the other part of the hospital to do some testing. They wheeled me to get an echocardiogram. As I was sitting there with the same six doctors around me, breathing got harder and harder. Before I knew it, I was gasping for air. I made a motion to the nurse to give me an oxygen mask.

Within seconds, I was moved to a gurney. About 10 more people rushed in as I was hooked up to a huge mask and taken to the intensive care unit. I remember the entire thing so vividly. When I got to the ICU, I was hooked up to an even bigger mask and had about five monitors behind me. A nurse came in, put a catheter in me, and started draining fluid from my body. Within about 30 minutes, five liters of fluid had been removed from me and I started breathing normally again. To put things into perspective, they drained about 25-40 pounds of fluid from my body. I gained 80 pounds during my entire pregnancy. Almost half of it was fluid.

The entire cardiac team at the hospital showed up in my room. I knew it wasn't good.

“Was I dying? What was happening? When can I see Kate?”

All I wanted was to be healthy and be with my baby. The doctors introduced themselves and told me that I had just experienced heart failure.

Just like that.

They said my lungs had filled up with all of the fluid that my body had retained during my pregnancy, and that my heart had to pump extra hard to keep me alive. As a result, my heart became weak. They said it's a condition called peripartum cardiomyopathy, which is a rare form of heart failure that happens during pregnancy. This was not related to preeclampsia, although the symptoms are extremely similar. They told me I was very lucky: if I'd had a home birth, or if I was at a different hospital, I may not have survived. I couldn't believe my ears. I looked at my mother and my husband who were in the room with us and started crying. I just kept thinking about them, about my sister, about Kate, and what would happen to them if I had died.

All I wanted to know was that I was going to be okay.

All I wanted to know was that I was going to be okay. The doctors told me that they couldn't really give me an answer. We had to take it minute by minute and see how I was recovering. I was so scared. They kept looking at my ankles and the back of my neck to make sure the swelling had gone down. And, in the middle of all this ambiguity and fear — when my hormones were in flux and I wasn’t able to see my own daughter — they told me that I could never have a baby again.

I stayed in the ICU for two days and then was moved to the cardiac ICU floor. Everyone there was about 60-years-old or older. What the hell was I doing here?

I still had not seen Kate. Jake, my husband, used FaceTime to keep me connected to her, and traversed the hospital to visit us both. She was hooked up to all of these machines and so was I, and we could only see each other through a phone screen. All I wanted to do was hold her and tell her that we were going to be okay. But I couldn’t give either of us that reassurance.

Over the next five days, I was put on four heart medications and started to show improvement. Kate got released and sent home on February 5 — she was luckily 100% okay and recovered. The day before my birthday, February 7, my doctors all decided that I was well enough to go home too. That was the best news I had ever gotten, because for a few days I thought I was never leaving that hospital and was never going to see my daughter again.

I can't even describe the feeling I had when I walked into my front door. I was home with my husband, my baby, my family, and my dog — the people I never thought I'd be with again. It was the best day ever, but the road to recovery wasn’t complete.

I was told I could only have a liter of fluid a day (including water, coffee, soup, etc.) I had to watch my salt intake as well and have less than 1000 mg a day. For the first month home, I was pretty much scared to eat or drink anything, because I thought it would kill me. I was honestly too scared to do anything. I had major, major PTSD. I couldn't sleep.

I was a new mom and I could barely hold my daughter or even walk up the steps with her. Instead, I had to attend cardiac rehab three times a week for three months. There, I would be hooked up to a heart monitor while walking on a treadmill or doing some sort of light exercise. I wasn’t allowed to work out on my own or do any activity anywhere else.

And, as if all of this wasn't bad enough, I was left with tiny fractures all across my feet and toes from all of the swelling. I had to wear a boot on each foot for two months, and my heart took six months total to heal.

My daughter is now 2 years old, and I'm only finally starting to take care of her the way I've always wanted to. I can hold her for long periods of time, walk up the steps with her, and put her carseat in the car —all of the things that I never thought I'd be able to do again. It's still a bit challenging for me to care for her on my own, but I’m getting better at it every day. As long as I keep up the work to stay healthy, it's only going to get better and easier.

I am one of the lucky ones. I know it. I thank god every single day for that.

I am still on my heart medications, but I am one of the lucky ones. I know it. I thank God every single day for that. If there is anything I want to do in my life moving forward, it's to educate people on this condition and raise awareness because it is ridiculous how few people really know about PPCM. If women were able to read about it leading up to their pregnancy in books like What To Expect, or even in pamphlets at the doctor’s office — it could save their lives. I have seen and was given a million pamphlets at the doctor during my pregnancy. Why on Earth was this not one of them?”

I would have probably diagnosed myself with PPCM or maybe would have asked my doctor about it, had I known it existed. About 1,000 to 1,300 women develop peripartum cardiomyopathy in the U.S. each year, according to the American Heart Association. Most women who experience this never get their heart back to a normal ejection fraction. They continue to live their lives on tons of medications and need to be monitored regularly.

I want to help women who are going through it and let them know that they're going to be okay. When I was diagnosed and so scared, I kept searching for things online that would make me feel better. I wanted to read people’s stories, I wanted people to relate to because I felt like I couldn't relate to anyone at all. I wanted to read success stories and know that things were going to be fine. My biggest message for pregnant women is that you need to be your own best advocate and take that role of a doctor for yourself.

If something is not right, if you don't feel like yourself, and if your gut is telling you something is wrong...trust it.

If something isn't right, if you don't feel like yourself, and if your gut is telling you something is wrong...trust it. We all look to our doctors because they're the ones who should know these things and "they" are educated and smart. But you’re the one who knows what you’re feeling. You can speak to what you’re going through better than anyone. So, speak up. Don’t wait. Say it, because YOU know it.

And your life could literally depend on it.

I feel like I got a second chance at life. I look at my daughter every day and think about how she is nothing short of a miracle. She was by no means easy for me to have and I consider her a true gift. I've accepted the fact that I can't ever have a baby myself again. We definitely want to have more kids. When we are ready, we'll consider every option.

Ariana Grande "Evolves" Her Pete Davidson-Inspired "Always" Tattoo

Kat Von D Finally Addresses Nazi & Anti-Vax Rumors — But Fans Aren't Convinced

Taylor Swift Wore 2019's Hottest Hair Color On The Red Carpet

When MAC launched a capsule collection inspired by the late Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla in 2016, it sold out in minutes, leaving many unable to get their hands on the matte red lipsticks, pink shadows, and warm beige blush in the lineup.

But now, fans who came up short (or are lamenting the expiration date of their favorite brown-red lipstick) may have a second chance at Selena-centric makeup. The late singer’s father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., has filed a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for what may be a new makeup line inspired by his daughter called Selena Vive.

The application, quietly filed in December, spans a swath of cosmetic and body-care essentials, including lipstick, foundation, nail polish, eye makeup, perfume, and body makeup. Longtime fans will recognize the trademark name — Selena ¡Vive! was also the name of a popular benefit concert held on April 7, 2005, the tenth anniversary of Selena’s death.

While the family hasn’t publicly commented on the project, the decision to start an independent beauty line in Selena’s name may simply be a case of giving the people what they want. Let’s not forget, the wildly successful MAC launch was prompted by a Change.org petition, in which nearly 40,000 fans asked for a MAC makeup collection inspired by the star. The thirst for Selena-like beauty hasn’t waned, either — a search for a “Selena Quintanilla makeup tutorial” on YouTube yields more than 16,000 results.

In addition to appeasing fans, the prospective line is fulfilling a lifelong dream of the singer. As Selena’s sister, Suzette Quintanilla, said in a 2016 statement about the MAC Selena collection, "Helping to create this collection brings me back to all those late-night conversations on our tour bus when she spoke of having her own makeup line one day. If Selena were here, she would be beyond ecstatic to have this happening."

We’ve reached out to Ms. Quintanilla for more information and will update this story when we hear back.

Taylor Swift Wore 2019's Hottest Hair Color On The Red Carpet

It's been bleach blonde, it's been baby pink, it's been yellow and pink, it's been blonde with red splotches, and now Kanye West 's hair is, well, every color of the rainbow. No, really.

On Thursday, the rapper stepped out in Calabasas, California, with hair dyed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and we think there's some indigo in there, too. Like we said — rainbow. Thankfully, West's go-to colorist Daniel Moon decided to not have the colors in a literal arc pattern, but instead dyed the vibrant shades to look like they're dripping down his head in amoeba-like shapes.

"We’ve had a relationship experimenting with color for a while, so we wanted to push the boundaries of our collaboration and do something that was next level," Moon tells Refinery29. "The color choices were based on previous colors that we know look good on him — like red-orange — while moving forward with a more unique pattern and utilizing more colors, all the while sticking with complementary power hues to match the passion of Kanye West."

Moon says the dyeing process took three hours from start to finish, and that West "reacted very positively and was stoked about the final result."

Now, given that West's last dramatic 'do involved shaving what appeared to be zebra stripes into his hair, it's safe to say that West is having a major experimental period with his hair right now. And the internet, as expected, is having a particularly good time with this rainbow moment.

After The Shade Room posted pictures of West's new look, fans started a debate on what his new hair really looks like. The long list of suggestions includes a lollipop, sherbet, a bowl of Trix cereal, a weather map, and even a melted snow cone. To others, it looked like he was trying to give Lush some ideas, with one commenter writing: "No shade...It reminds me of a bath bomb." Some people even started comparing this new hair to Rihanna's wild, rainbow birthday manicure.

But hey, after seeing people like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj rock rainbow hair so flawlessly, maybe the guy was simply inspired. Or, you know, maybe he wanted to divert attention away from his own intense family drama for a second.

When you have sensitive skin, trying out makeup is like sitting through an episode of Black Mirror (or The Bachelor, if that's more your thing): You have no idea where it's going or what might happen along the way, but you're prepared for the worst. Dabbing on that foundation or blush with five-star reviews could go just fine, or you could find yourself developing a five-alarm allergic reaction. The other option is to avoid the gamble as much as possible, by only seeking out the right ingredients and formulas for you.

"If you have sensitive skin, I typically recommend sticking to mineral-based makeup," says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD. "It tends not to block pores, resulting in fewer breakouts, and is generally mild on the skin." Dermatologist Shari Sperling, DO, suggests looking for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulas, while also avoiding oil-based ingredients or products that could potentially clog pores.

So you can leave that second-guessing behind and nail your makeup without any setbacks, we found the best products for sensitive skin, and asked the pros to suggest their favorites, too. Ahead, 7 brands that won't add to your skin-care woes — leave that to dairy and changes in the weather.
