Disney princesses might not be known for being their own heroes. Several needed the help of a charming prince, woodland animals, or magical grandmother figures to save the day. Despite that, many of the heroines of Disney classic animated movies are admirable in other ways. They’re undoubtedly tough cookies. They are true to themselves, remain loyal to friends, never give up, and always seem to be humming a cheerful tune....

Unless you’re in a very exclusive tax bracket, bathrooms typically are the smallest rooms in the house. Despite the traffic these rooms get on a daily basis — and the amount of stuff we keep in them — bathrooms are rarely overflowing with space and, more importantly, storage. And let’s be honest here, people: We can only shove so many lotions, potions, and shampoos under the sink. But what’s a beauty addict to do?...

More people should know about the holiday Juneteenth , and its significance in American history and, more specifically, Black history.

When couples find out they are having a little girl, someone is bound to comment about how lucky they are because they “get to play dress up” with her. Although it’s at minimum a repressively sexist thing to say, it does hold some truth.

For parents who just had a little man, and really want to dress him like one, consider turning to a style that has taken over the millennial generation: Hipster ....
