Meet the Cast of Netflix’s Latest Reboot, Lost in Space

Meet the Cast of Netflix's Latest Reboot, Lost in Space Meet the Cast of Netflix's Latest Reboot, Lost in Space Netflix is rebooting yet another property this week when Lost in Space sends the Robinson family hurtling into outer space on April 13. If you're not familiar with the original show, which aired on CBS from 1965 to 1968, it tells the tale of the Robinson family, who leaves for a five-year journey to a planet orbiting the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, because space probes have revealed it has conditions similar to Earth. When the mission goes awry, the family is left in outer space. The fate of the original Robinsons was never actually resolved because the series was abruptly canceled after three seasons. In the new version, the character names and basic plot are the same, but that is where the similarities end. Whereas the original was one of many cheesy sci-fi shows trying to capitalize on the real-life 1960s space race, this new version is more like Los..

My Husband and I Are Good Parents, but Sh*tty Lovers

8 years ago Fiona Watkins
One recent Saturday night, my husband and I sat on our couch watching a Netflix show while sipping whiskey sours. We grabbed a blanket, tossed it over our laps, and nuzzled in together. After the show, we got another round — OK, a couple of rounds — and got to talking about what the past year had brought to our marriage. A job loss, both of us busy in grad school, aging parents, and caring for two young kids had left our communication severed. It felt like we were using walkie-talkies, static frequently getting in the way, neither one of us trying hard enough to hear what the other was saying. After almost 10 years of marriage, we looked at each other and realized how hard it had become. Doable? Yes. Easy? No. It's so incredibly hard, but it's also so incredibly worth it. And we need to remind ourselves that it will always be worth it.My husband and I met when we were young and wild freshmen in college. In those early years, we broke up more times than fingers on both hands..

Life, Men, and Love: 26 Pieces of Advice From My Dad That All Women Should Hear

8 years ago Lily Garner
Some of the best advice I've ever received has been from my dad, but I didn't quite realize that until I got older. My "all-knowing" father spits out life lessons every other sentence, so I usually respond with an eye roll. But as I began to come across experiences in my life where his words were applicable, maybe this self-proclaimed Yoda is onto something after all, I thought. Ironically, I learned most about being a woman from him. Here are few of my life lessons for you to internalize re: men and life, straight from the man himself. No man will ever be able to fill your cup every day. It's impossible and draining. Most men will fill the cup in short terms to be able to conquer. You must fill your own cup. You must love yourself when you're looking in the mirror. Don't ever allow a man to shape who you are. Don't ever lower your standards for a man. Be patient. Women have the same feelings as men. If you want it, go get it, but do it under yo..

10 of the Best Pacifiers For Breastfeeding Babies

10 of the Best Pacifiers For Breastfeeding Babies 10 of the Best Pacifiers For Breastfeeding Babies Pacifiers are one of the most helpful things a new mom can use during those first few months after a baby's arrival. Not only do they serve as a great instrument to quiet down a fussy baby, but they also teach your baby to self-soothe through their natural sucking reflex. But what if you're breastfeeding? The good news is that your child can adapt to using both a pacifier and being breastfed, but you need to watch out for a few things. Aside from making sure the pacifier is BPA-free (BPA is an industrial chemical that's been used to make certain plastics), try to find one that has a rounded nipple shape. It's also important to look for brands that use the word "orthodontic," because they're specifically designed to help eliminate any teeth-formation issues that are generally linked to long-term pacifier use. In no particular order, check out the 10 best pacif..

Why I’m Letting My Kids Choose Their Own Religion

8 years ago Scarlett Newton
Spirituality and religion can be both the hardest and easiest things for people. Some are raised in a religion they know they belong to, some branch out to try something new that speaks to them, and others can feel a bit lost, like there isn't anything real to cling to. Because of this, raising children can be tough in certain households, especially when two religions conflict. Do you teach your children one and not the other? A little of both? Practice something new as a family? These can be hard questions to answer. While many couples continue to practice the religion or religions they were raised with with their own kids, my husband and I decided to be much more flexible. We were both brought up in semi-secular, semi-Protestant, semi-Jewish households and have experienced a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions. We feel blessed (yes, we use words like "blessed") to have been given such open minds when it comes to our belief system, and we hope to give that to our ..

Kandee Johnson Turned Kim Kardashian Into a Disney Princess, and It’s Incredible

8 years ago Isabell Rose
A post shared by Kandee Johnson (@kandeejohnson) on Mar 27, 2018 at 9:19am PDT Kim Kardashian is quite the chameleon when it comes to beauty transformations, but her latest reveal — a Disney princess look that influencer Kandee Johnson created for her — is pretty amazing. Kim is almost unrecognizable as Princess Jasmine, and based on the comments, we weren't the only ones who did a double take. "I legit thought u went to Disneyland to meet one of the characters. Kimmy u r the real Princess Jasmine 🤣," one person wrote. "NO WAY is that @kimkardashian That's mad!! AMAZING 😱😍," said another. It literally looks like a fun new Instagram filter, but it's actually a full makeup look, bold brows and wig included. 44704668 Of course, both Kim and Kandee aren't strangers to a fun collab. West's last makeup tutorial with Jaclyn Hill, although slightly awkward at times, set the internet abuzz — and this one is sure to do the same. 44662004 If you want to get a jump ..

The Haunting Nirvana Cover in Westworld’s New Trailer Is More Significant Than You Think

8 years ago Talia Irvine
Westworld season one ended quite some time ago, but that doesn't mean we've stopped listening to its incredible soundtrack. Each episode is full of gorgeous songs, from Johnny Cash standards to orchestral covers of Radiohead hits. Naturally the deeply unsettling season two trailer didn't miss an opportunity to provide yet another haunting musical accompaniment. After gifting us with a stripped-down version of Kanye West's "Runaway" in the Super Bowl ad, the good folks at HBO went with a cover of the 1993 Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box" in the latest trailer, which is more fitting than you might realize. The haunting version of the In Utero classic comes courtesy of Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi, who also took on covers of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun," Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black," and more in season one. The lyrics to "Heart-Shaped Box" are surprisingly relevant, especially when you consider all the season two theories that have been floatin..
