It's always been my lifelong dream to get braces. Strange, I know. Since I was a kid, I envied my classmates and their glistening, metal-covered teeth. Granted, they were also covered with remnants of their white-bread sandwiches from lunchtime. Yet they possessed an unmistakable "cool" factor — like a badge that represented adolescence. So, I often begged and pleaded with my parents for braces, but it was futile. They usually responded, "Kat, your smile is what makes you unique." In other words: "Keep dreaming kid; we're not spending $5,000 to put wires in your mouth." Fast-forward 20 years. I was a full-grown adult. It was time to make my adolescent dreams come true. Apparently, I wasn't alone: according to a 2014 survey from the American Association of Orthodontists, adults make up nearly 1.5 million orthodontics patients in the US and Canada. So, right after my 30th birthday, I scheduled an appointment with an orthodontist. One consultation, a few awkward "before" p..

When my husband was killed two years ago, the news of his death spread like wildfire. It was so tragic and public that the local news was at our house in fewer than 20 minutes. I heard it was on Facebook within the hour. At only 33 years old, Justin was killed by a stray bullet that made its way into our home from over 200 feet away. As if these circumstances weren't shocking enough, his death occurred just three days after I delivered our first son, Jax. Because Justin's death was so publicized, Jax and I were forced into the spotlight during what should have been a personal and private time. Looking back, I can understand the fascination people had, but at the time it was lost on me. I just wanted my husband back! The only upside to the attention was the outpouring of love we received from friends, acquaintances, and even complete strangers. People felt emotionally connected to us, and that was somewhat comforting. In the months to follow, I would become a recluse, as I..

For more than 25 years, Bob Costas was the face of NBC's must-watch Olympics coverage. But after 11 consecutive Olympic Games and a storied career of hosting the global event, Costas stepped aside — and for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, all eyes will be on his replacement: Mike Tirico. Tirico is a sportscasting legend in his own right; before joining NBC Sports in 2016, he spent 25 years working for ABC and ESPN with a career that began on SportsCenter and which has encompassed nearly every modern sport under the sun. Chances are, if you've ever watched any sports coverage on television, you've heard his voice — and now, you'll be seeing a whole hell of a lot more of him in the flesh as he takes on the storied role that Costas had held since 1992. But in light of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, it's worth noting that Tirico does not have a squeaky-clean past. In the '90s, six women accused him of sexual harassment. It's ..
