This 12-Minute Total-Body Workout Will Make You Feel Really Powerful

Let's be honest: Burpees and mountain climbers are probably two of the most disliked exercises of all time. Of course some people like them, but many people I know begrudgingly do them because they know they're effective ways to work multiple muscles while getting in some cardio at the same time. So it's not surprising that these efficient and effective moves make a great addition to a short workout—like the 12-minute one below created by Michael Blauner, a NESTA-certified personal trainer based in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Squats are one of the best exercises for the lower body (and really the whole body, when you consider the core work involved). But, as with any multi-joint exercise, there are plenty of places things can go awry, says Leandra Haynes, Tier 2 trainer at Equinox Flatiron. “Surprising limitations could start from as low as the feet,” she says. “Tight muscles and lack of joint mobility are prime causes of squat downfall.” Here’s what could be limiting your squat, and how to fix it.

Crazy true facts about Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage definitely isn't the actor you cast as the boring old "everyman" character, but that's exactly why his fan base loves him. While so many people hide their eccentricities from the world, Cage applies his quirky style to every job he takes. He brings the same intensity to every performance, whether he's playing a depressed screenwriter (and his identical twin brother) in an Academy Award-winning film, or screaming about how much he hates bees ("Not the bees! Aggghhh!") in a B-grade horror remake. Say what you will about Nicolas Cage, but that guy never phones it in. Ever.

The fashion at the 2018 Met Gala took us all to church, but the standout style didn't end at the red carpet.

(I mean, could you imagine partying into the early hours of the morning in one of those extravagant headpieces?)

The Best Detangling Sprays and Conditioners for Curly Hair

In an ideal world showers would be for one thing and one thing only: staring off into space and letting your subconscious take over. But alas, even showers aren't free of their own to-do list, even if it's just the shampoo-condition-body wash-shave checklist. And if you have curly hair, you know that there's a hidden, often very difficult step in between "conditioner" and moving on with your life, and it's detangling your hair.

Kim Kardashian Forgot Her Press-On Nails for the Met Gala—and Katy Perry Literally Flew Them to Her

If you're Kim Kardashian and you have a cross-country beauty emergency, who do you call? Katy Perry, of course. Though KKW's 2018 Met Gala outfit was stunning from head to toe—the reality star wore a skin-tight gilded Versace slip dress and her hair half-up—there was one little detail that almost didn't work out. Apparently, the 36-year-old forgot her press-on nails back in Los Angeles.

10 Hair Color Trends That’ll Be Huge in 2018

After two years of letting our collective Lisa Frank obsession go nuts, 2018 is looking to be a palette cleanser. Which isn't to say the hair color trends celebrity stylists are predicting will be boring—anything but. Moving away from bright neons and golden blonds, prepare to see more icy platinums, rich browns, and more natural-looking colors with added dimension and sneakily bright highlights. "Transitioning closer to the color we were born with will be more popular," says Nicole Leal, master stylist at Nine Zero One. Good news considering the upkeep is much, much more manageable, even if "natural" still does require a couple hours in the chair. Ahead, the hair color ideas we're most excited for in 2018.

Crazy things you never knew about Martha Stewart

Everyone knows the prim and proper Martha Stewart from her television shows featuring DIY crafts and oh-so-delicious recipes, but what else do you know about her?

Eyeliner mistakes you're probably making

Eyeliner is basically the Holy Grail of beauty products. You don't have to be a master of makeup to use it, and all it takes is a little dab on each eye to feel put-together and ready to conquer the day. While eyeliner seems self-explanatory, there's actually a science to its application. Whether you're a liquid liner aficionado or prefer the tried-and-true pencil, here are 10 of the most common eyeliner mistakes (and how to avoid them).

Beauty 'mistakes' that aren't actually mistakes at all

Makeup mistakes happen every day, even to the most seasoned beauty veterans. Smudges, smears, or smashed products are cold, hard facts of the cosmetics life.
