For the past few months, Selma Blair has been a beacon of hope and spokesperson for anyone suffering from a chronic illness-but recently, Selma found her self in the middle of some controversy after posting a photo online.

Selma, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in August 2018, shared a photo of herself on Instagram earlier this week wearing a headwrap, posing with her friend filmmaker Rachel Fleit.

"We have one answer to your bad hair days or NO hair days. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/alopecia/" id="60281a51-9ac0-3d2f-a5d3-b1db16e4c295"> #alopecia </a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rachelfleit/" id="feed0d4e-1a9a-371e-af7e-0564e6ec4ae0"> @rachelfleit </a> ," Selma wrote (FYI: Rachel does have <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-and-scalp-problems/alopecia-areata" id="49292c81-1bd5-388d-a6ab-4945c749c069"> alopecia </a> , a condition in which a person's hair falls out in patches). "Wraps!" Selma also added that wraps have "been around for thousands of years."

Selma also posted a follow-up photo of herself wearing the same wrap, this time accompanied by her son Arthur Saint Bleick, also in a headwrap. "See. Its a thing. of love. And warmth," she wrote.

Turns out, however, her followers weren't too pleased with her look-many accursed the actress of cultural appropriation for donning the item as a fashion statement.

You are so wonderful and I know you mean no harm, but this is serious cultural appropriation, one commenter wrote. Id be happy to have a private conversation about how this is hurtful to Sikhs if youre open to it.

This is not brilliant and is not cool, wrote another. White people have scorned Sikhs for hundreds of years, and now we wanna appropriate and make it trendy? No. Just no. We dont get to do this.

Not everyone took offense to Selma's headwrap. My God, its a wrap not a shot gun. You are as always, beautiful Selma," one commenter wrote.

Selma Blair Defends Wearing Headwrap On Instagram

Selma eventually visited the comments section of herself to set the record straight: "This is not at all a Sikh turban or imitating one," she wrote in one reply. And funnily enough, Sikhs absorb negativity, diffuse it. Tolerance. So none of these comments hurt. They may be not knowing what they write. A headwrap can be useful and beautiful in all cultures.

In another, she wrote, Covering ones head is not appropriating anything but warmth and a wig alternative...or whatever makes you want to wear a scarf on head." Selma also went to bat for women with alopecia who choose to wear headwraps: "What do you want a woman with no hair to wear," she wrote. "Just an itchy wig? Why not tie your own scarf and bejewel it. I think it's a pretty alternative."

Also important to note: While Selma herself does not have alopecia, she has been open about <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a27087815/selma-blair-multiple-sclerosis-eyelashes-falling-out/" id="31f0dcbb-561c-31de-ad13-227bec9e48e3"> struggles with hair loss </a> since being diagnosed with MS. In April, Selma revealed that her MS was causing her eyelashes to fall out.

"My right eyelashes all fell out except 3 corner ones," Selma wrote in the April Instagram post. "Just started falling out in left eye so there goes my profile posing...I guess [my] immune system figured it has bigger kid to spank."

Overall, Selma probably wasn't expecting to be called out for cultural appropriation for choosing to wear a scarf to support her friend, but by the looks of her replies, she's clearly not here anyone questioning or critiquing her choices.

Selma Blair Claps Back At Accusations Of Cultural Appropriation For Wearing A Headwrap

Gabrielle Union has clearly been feeling herself lately, to which I say, bring it on!

The 46-year-old (seriously) has been posting <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a27611004/gabrielle-union-string-bikini-instagram/" id="50b60ff9-f72b-3bd7-a70a-1bed12a89b7d"> tons of gorgeous bikini-clad Instagram photos </a> from her vacation in Greece with <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a24852491/gabrielle-union-daughter-surrogate/" id="85c15e65-6224-3861-ae5a-7060ddc5ee2b"> husband Dwyane Wade </a> -and I'm definitely not complaining.

Wednesday, Gabrielle shared some swimsuit shots posing in a super-cute crocheted bikini from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/solidandstriped/" id="1458698c-1bf3-3bed-a2b1-0603e0aacb7b"> Solid &amp; Striped </a> and showing off her killer abs and legs. (FYI: Gab's sporting the Dawn in brown quartz, which is still available for <a href="https://www.solidandstriped.com/products/the-dawn-brown-quartz?variant=20771068084337" id="4072175c-24d0-3a93-ade6-eaa022b01d1f"> $178 for the whole set </a> .). She captioned the photo, "Relaxed. Refreshed. Refocused," and it definitely shows.

But she didn't stop there. On Thursday morning, Gabrielle shared a bright neon-green look, sharing more of her smokin' body, and posing in front of a very envy-inducing background

If the whole look's got you green with envy, you can find it at <a href="https://northamerica-frankiiswim.com/" id="9378a695-406c-3c65-a711-8546aa3187ab"> Frankii Swim </a> ; while <a href="https://northamerica-frankiiswim.com/collections/up-top/products/tropez-tri-luxe?variant=14034497208355" id="e3e0b602-462f-35ad-a8a6-6852a573ddaf"> the exact version Gabrielle </a> is wearing appears to be sold out, the retailer sells a ton of similar tops and bottoms that are honestly just as beach-worthy.

But let's face it: While Gab's bikinis are wish-list material, her body's the main focus of her Instagram photos-and it's largely thanks to her pilates routine. Gabrielle previously told <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a19945433/gabrielle-union-fitness-and-beauty-secrets/" id="21cf4561-1bb2-38b7-a7ff-ccae70087658"> Womens Health </a> that the exercise helps her get over her hatred for morning workouts (#relatable). The great thing about Pilates is that I can take out my annoyance from waking up early on the machines instead of human beings, she said. It's for the greater good. My body responds to it, and I'm also more clear."

As for still looking like she did in her Bring It On days, Gabrielle has a pretty notable self-care routine. "My best anti-aging tip is the ability to say 'no, no, and hell, no,'" she said, noting that she doesn't smoke and also knows her boundaries. "We run ourselves ragged saying yes to every freaking thing, whether it's to our family, spouses, or careers. I sleep eight hours a day and don't let myself stress out. A lot of people call it selfish, but I don't have any wrinkles."

Clearly, stress-free looks good on her. Hey Gab, got any extra room on that boat?

Gabrielle Union Shares More Vacay Bikini Photos

Gabrielle Union Keeps Showing Off Her Abs And Legs In Bikini Photos—And I Am Here For It

You may know actress Joey King for her role as Gypsy Rose Blanchard in Hulu's The Act-but underneath the Cinderella costumes and she wore for her character, Joey's got some killer abs.

Joey, 19, recently shared some stunning photos from a nature-packed trip in South Africa, but rather than zoom in on the gorgeous sunset shot she shared, I can't help but to celebrate her core. Girl is ripped.

"Crossed hiking Table Mountain off my bucket list," Joey wrote, captioning the Instagram photo. "Saw a beautiful sunrise on the way up, and had pancakes for breakfast...what a Sunday."

Joey opened up about food and body image in an interview with <a href="http://www.thenewpotato.com/2017/04/07/joey-king-2017/" id="8d34d6bd-1906-3562-a629-5481009341be"> The New Potato </a> in 2017, and her take is truly inspiring. "Most importantly, above all else, I practice self-love," she told the publication. "Your inner beauty shines when you are emotionally and physically kind to yourself."

Joey's outlook on food is just as real and refreshing: "As far as diet and exercise go, I try to eat as healthfully as possible, but I dont make myself crazy," she said. "If Im craving a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta, sometimes I just need to listen to my body and indulge. You definitely have to find a balance, though, because eating the right things has incredible health and healing benefits. Its not about how you lookits about taking care of your body so you can be the best you." A-freaking-men.

Everything you need to know about Hulu's The Act:

As for her workouts, Joey told The New Potato that she aims to workout four to five times a week-but that's if she's "feeling really motivated." The actress likes to run and loves to box, because she feels so focused when she's doing it. "I absolutely love exercise because I feel energetic and happy when I work out on a regular basis, but sometimes vegging out is so necessary," she added.

But Joey, who also starred in Netflix's The Kissing Booth, doesn't just want her appearance to be the focus of her social media account, she said an interview with <a href="https://schonmagazine.com/interview-joey-king/" id="56421e5c-e1a9-3e15-a9bc-7004ba6eab1b"> Schon Magazine </a> , a London-based publication.

On her accounts, she's publicly supported movements and programs like "March For Our Lives," Meals on Wheels and pet adoption. "Social media can be looked at as a gift to people who have a plentiful amount of followers," she told the magazine. "Using your voice as much as your comfortable with is something I think is so important."

Honestly, I am very into Joey's vibe, and can't wait to see what else she does (and OK, what other ab shots she posts).

The photo zooms in on Halle's toned torso, with her hands (decked out in some serious bling) placed lightly over her stomach. The actress is also sporting some extremely tiny bikini bottoms, cut low enough to show off a hint of...dare I say, pubes? Halle captioned the photo with a simple "Drip drip," (maybe she's a fan of <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a27544976/cardi-b-cancels-performance-plastic-surgery-complications/" id="8ba5d7f0-7b21-3ebe-a9b9-135729995b07"> Cardi B </a> ?) and tagged Church Boutique, a West Hollywood fashion company, in her photo.

On Wednesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Halle graced the stage decked out in Church Boutique, too.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxy8VuunuXy/" id="4866c906-d9af-376e-a4e1-f6568ac24430"> View this post on Instagram </a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxy8VuunuXy/" id="501cb39a-ab23-393d-ae79-95e4b5580fbb"> #hallelujah @halleberry #Holla! #Wearing #wearing #headtotoe #fashion &amp; #finejewelry from #ChurchBoutique tonight on @jimmykimmellive Love @iamlindsayflores #halleberry </a> A post shared by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/churchboutique/" id="8dbc19cd-3304-33aa-a1b3-11f42b9efeae"> CHURCH Boutique </a> (@churchboutique) on May 23, 2019 at 12:03am PDT

But to be honest, that was probably the least interesting thing to happen on the late-night show. Lena Waithe, the writer, producer and actor from The Chi and Master of None, served as the guest host for the show, and during the episode asked Halle to give her some inspiration. "I need you to give me some of that Halle Berry juice! Lena said.

Halle did not disappoint. She told Lena, I know that you are a force of nature. You are a beautiful African-American queen going after everything that is hers! And, Lena, tonight you are a writer, an actor, a producer, and tonight you are a late-night comedian and youre about to slay!

After those inspirational words, Halle told Lena that she thought she needed "something else," so she grabbed her face and planted a long, passionate seeming kiss. Now youre good," Halle said.

No caption necessary. Just tune in yall. <a href="https://twitter.com/halleberry?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="de5fd439-92dd-36ff-a52e-c7b299653cda"> @halleberry </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/JimmyKimmelLive?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="f48f616b-5bc4-37ef-a90c-5182adf35325"> @JimmyKimmelLive </a> <a href="https://t.co/ghD7M4wlDU" id="72edd49d-d9b1-3c6b-ad9c-1da1645ca29f"> pic.twitter.com/ghD7M4wlDU </a> - Lena Waithe (@LenaWaithe) <a href="https://twitter.com/LenaWaithe/status/1131400427810037762?ref_src=twsrc^tfw" id="8cb62ddf-ae77-30ea-a725-8f397faea0e9"> May 23, 2019 </a>

And the crowd (and clearly, Lena) went wild!

If, during this scene, you're more focused on Halle's incredible figure than any kiss (kind of can't blame you), you should know that, while training for her upcoming feature, John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum, Halle <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/a27507235/halle-berry-keto-diet-tips-john-wick/" id="9e4d91bf-b0dc-3cea-aa41-a35e934e5656"> stuck to the keto diet </a> . And even though she was regimented, she still allowed herself some wiggle room. "Sometimes you just have to eat what you want," she said on her Instagram stories. "You have to satisfy that craving, and that's how you can come back better and stronger."

Halle also sticks to a <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a26839980/halle-berry-favorite-low-impact-workout-instagram/" id="18b33704-d696-3870-ae16-70655fcc159d"> low-impact workout regimen </a> to avoid injury. Sure, low-impact may sound easy, but by the looks of Halle's new Instagram post, it most certainly does the job.

Miss Halle Berry has never been one to shy away from sexy. But if you feel like you haven't gotten a good dose of Halle recently, let your troubles slip away. The 52-year-old stunner took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo that's simultaneously worth 1,000 words and leaving me speechless.

Jessica Simpson <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a26887131/jessica-simpson-gives-birth-birdie-instagram/" id="68ffebfd-1878-373d-afaa-5c4e23f8cba2"> gave birth to daughter </a> Birdie May Johnson a little less than two months ago, and according to her most recent Instagram post, she's still very much in recovery.

In a new Instagram photo posted Thursday, <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a27225267/jessica-simpson-baby-birdie-instagram-sids/" id="891be665-61ba-346f-a782-95130c228882"> Jessica shared a pic </a> of herself stretching out doors wearing black leggings, a black top, and something else that's apparently not visible in the photo: a corset. "Just stretching it out in my rubber corset," Jess wrote. "The joys of postpartum."

Clearly, <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a26887131/jessica-simpson-gives-birth-birdie-instagram/" id="a7be4545-1cf0-3ec7-a1fd-5baa19f1c91e"> Jessica </a> deserves all the clapping emojis for getting up and out with a newborn, but her Instagram post also begs the question: What on Earth is a rubber corset?

The rubber corset Jessica is referring to is most likely a type of postpartum or belly wrap, a product mothers will wrap around their bodies for support after childbirth, according to <a href="https://www.whattoexpect.com/wom/baby/the-pros-and-cons-of-wearing-a-postpartum-corset.aspx" id="e882bd1a-3962-3d46-a38b-7b17aca5cd0f"> What To Expect </a> .

These wraps offer an aesthetic benefit, as they can help new moms look and feel slimmer under their clothes, but they also serve a medical purpose: To help support the muscles and abdominal organs after gibing birth, according to What To Expect. In fact, a study published in <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2909864/" id="6a6154e4-3c46-359e-a05f-9108fa391ec3"> Physiotherapy Canada </a> found that postpartum wrapping could help women walk farther and get back on their feet sooner. Another study, published in the <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/314102718_Randomized_controlled_trial_of_abdominal_binders_for_postoperative_pain_distress_and_blood_loss_after_cesarean_delivery" id="51498b7d-7d58-360a-a34b-ea634800fcb4"> International Journal of Gynaecology and Obstetrics </a> , found that some women who wrapped experienced less pain and bleeding after having a C-section.

Postpartum wraps come in all kinds of materials and sizes: As What To Expect notes, they can be made of an elastic material that's closed with Velcro, or they might be made of latex or other stiff materials, like the one Jess wears in her photo. The amount of compression a wrap provides can vary, too: While some are gentle, others can aggressively cinch the waist, with the purpose of changing its appearance.

It's also important for women to get the OK from their doctor to use any type of postpartum wrap or corset-and to make sure the device is also approved for pregnant women (i.e., not just a standard corset to wear underneath formal wear).

As Birdie is Jessica's third kid, she probably has a lot of experience in recovery and what's safest for her. Hopefully she's feeling as comfy as possible and enjoying those special moments with her new baby girl.

<h1> Hold on-what type of treatment is Selma getting? </h1>

"Selma is getting immunoglobulin given via intravenous route, or intravenous immunoglobulin ( IVIG )," says Amit Sachdev, M.D., M.S., associate medical director of the Division of Neuromuscular Medicine at Michigan State University.

IVIG is a medicine made from donate blood fluids and it's used to boost the immune system, according to the <a href="https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/tf2742" id="f437fc7b-b159-3f1f-a926-8e374687b910"> University of Michigan Health System </a> .

IVIG does require the number of donors Selma mentions in her post (anywhere from 1,000 to 15,000), as blood donations are purified to create an immunoglobulin dose, says Sachdev.

Per the University of Michigan Health System, IVIG may improve function and lengthen the time before a relapse in people who have relapsing-remitting MS (when symptoms randomly flare and then improve), but it does not seem to help slow progression of the disease.

While the treatment is used in patients with MS, it is not always the preferred medication, according to Sachdev, because "it does not work as directly on the causes of inflammation in the brain as other medications that are available." It's also incredibly expensive, not widely available, and not considered practical for long-term treatment of MS, per the University of Michigan, which adds that it sometimes may be used to treat a severe relapse.

In her post, Selma shared her gratitude for being able to receive the IVIG treatment. "This is not a sad post," she wrote "Nor am I showing any tubing although I find it all curious. This is me grateful. Thank you universe. Thank you donors. Thank you my friends and all who aim to find their way to feeling their strongest. Whatever form that takes. Love."

Selma continues to be a stunning example of staying positive in the face of hardship. Her grace and gratitude manage to shine through all the tough stuff she shares, and we think that makes her pretty special.

Together, they do all kinds of moves, like hanging reverse crunches, battle ropes, suspension reverse lunges, squats on a balance dome, high cable pulldowns, lateral low squat walks, biceps curls, shoulder presses, and mountain climbers on the treadmill. Whew!

Not to mention, Tamra trained for a bodybuilding competition back in 2016. To me, it was never about getting on stage and winning, she told <a href="https://people.com/food/why-tamra-judge-started-her-intense-bodybuilding-regimen-id-been-seeing-some-changes-in-my-body-and-i-didnt-like-it/" id="604eccd0-af0d-3988-a5c0-4b4e0df93bc1"> People </a> at the time.

And, based on those abs, it's pretty clear that she hasn't let go of that determined mentality!

Food Network star Ree Drummond-a.k.a. the Pioneer Woman-is known for her indulgent (sometimes carb-heavy) recipes. But apparently, after a stint on <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/weight-loss/a19434332/what-is-the-keto-diet/" id="aaa7a5e9-0d09-31d0-a500-e52a6c4915a4"> the keto diet </a> , Ree's now part of the low-carb game.

In an interview with <a href="https://people.com/food/ree-drummond-new-cookbook-keto-diet-low-carb-pioneer-woman-recipes/" id="75cdb71f-f3b0-337d-aeb7-449640d000de"> People </a> , Ree talked about going keto for a while last summer. "Last summer, I kind of dove into the keto [diet] world and enjoyed it," she said. "It was a good exercise."

Ree's not on the keto diet anymore (she said she's "settled back into a more sustainable, realistic way of eating"), but that keto experience helped shape her new book, The New Frontier, which will hit shelves October 22.

Ree said The New Frontier-her sixth (!!!) cookbook-is "not a keto cookbook or a low-carb cookbook." Instead, it's filled with "suggestions for how to lighten up an otherwise really carb-heavy dish," she said. "Its been really fun to come up with versions of really delicious dishes that you can take a few steps to make them lower in carbs."

Ree even took to Instagram to joke about her new kind-of-low-carb, kind-of-high-carb cookbook. "My low-carb cookbook will be out October 22," she wrote. "And whats super cool is that my high-carb cookbook will be out the exact same day!"

And whats super cool is that my high-carb cookbook will be out the exact same day! And to make it convenient for you, I put the two cookbooks inside the same cover. These doughnuts are in the latter category, Im afraid. But theyre small in size, so its all good! Maybe my cookbook should be in the Psychology section. </a> A post shared by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thepioneerwoman/" id="41a5c234-0913-37ce-abeb-5164c15fa3b4"> Ree Drummond - Pioneer Woman </a> (@thepioneerwoman) on Mar 30, 2019 at 4:21am PDT

But Ree clarified that she's not making two separate books: "And to make it convenient for you, I put the two cookbooks inside the same cover," she wrote. "These doughnuts are in the latter category, Im afraid. But theyre small in size, so its all good! Maybe my cookbook should be in the Psychology section."

Clearly the Pioneer Woman's got an "everything in moderation" viewpoint on diets that I can absolutely get behind.

Selma Blair has established herself as a full-fledged fighter: Ever since she publicly announced her <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a24063886/selma-blair-ms-diagnosis/" id="deb6dfe5-b226-31bf-a8fc-ee6c4f9bc130"> multiple sclerosis diagnosis </a> in October, the 46-year-old actress has been admirably open about her struggles, emotions, and optimism around battling the disease.

In a recent Instagram post shared Thursday, Selma posted a powerful #tbt photo of herself standing on one leg from a 2001 photoshoot with Interview Magazine. The image is especially symbolic because Selma currently walks with a cane because of how her M.S. has progressed.

Selma insinuated that she wouldn't be able to hold the one-legged pose today, but she's hopeful that she will again in the future. "A leg to stand on. 18 years ago. I will be able to do this again," she captioned the Instagram photo.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqulfongFS/" id="13738184-aca8-3f0a-aa78-f83d84529083"> View this post on Instagram </a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BwqulfongFS/" id="c08ea139-7923-369a-a997-c82232c6f71f"> A leg to stand on. 18 years ago. I will be able to do this again. We can do more than we think we can. I love this photo. It was also before my masseters became so dense with inflammation. Tension.

Selma also pointed out another change possibly caused by MS since this photo was taken: "It was also before my masseters became so dense with inflammation," she wrote. "Tension. I wonder if I can ever get the jawline narrower again. Hardly one of lifes pressing issues. Just musings."

As far as her inflamed "masseters" go (FYI, that's just another word for the muscles that keep your jaw in place), it's unclear why they might be inflamed, but Santosh Kesari, MD, PhD, neurologist and neuroscientist at Providence Saint Johns Health Center in Santa Monica, California, says it may be due to the overall inflammation caused by MS.

As far as the "tension" in her jaw muscles goes, Kesari says that may be caused by spasticity of jaw muscles (when muscles continuously contract), also caused by MS's effect on certain nerves. But again, all of this is speculation, says Kesari, without access to Selma's medical records.

Beyond having mobility difficulties, Selma has revealed that she's experienced <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a27087815/selma-blair-multiple-sclerosis-eyelashes-falling-out/" id="607a61ae-fb0d-3325-ac6a-23ce69ee23f1"> hair loss </a> (her eyelashes are falling out) and <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a27114741/selma-blair-ms-memory-problems-instagram/" id="aa685fed-7f93-3df0-a1e9-e56de0a8c6a7"> trouble with her memory </a> . <a href="https://www.nationalmssociety.org/NationalMSSociety/media/MSNationalFiles/Brochures/Clinical_Bulletin_Overview-of-Multiple-Sclerosis.pdf" id="1abf5c15-458f-3bfd-a596-c9455dca1c2c"> Cognitive impairment </a> can be common in some M.S. patients, and hair loss can often be a <a href="https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/2018/08/10/hair-loss-in-rrms-patients-using-aubagio-often-transient-and-mild-study-reports/" id="cbfa6856-ac48-36d7-ae23-56c3fe713dbe"> side effect </a> of certain M.S. treatments.

Selma's courage and openness around her disease has been an inspiration to many, and in return, she's gotten a lot of support. Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack, who <a href="https://people.com/health/jack-osbourne-talked-with-selma-blair-after-her-ms-diagnosis/" id="c0abf53c-2047-3343-a467-8344ee244e73"> also lives with M.S. </a> , shared that he's bonded with the actress over their shared illness. I get a lot out of talking to people in kind of the same spot as me, Jack, 33, <a href="https://people.com/health/jack-osbourne-talked-with-selma-blair-after-her-ms-diagnosis/" id="cd63ff71-bd91-3a7d-a611-885b356ca57f"> told People </a> about connecting with Selma. I find it kind of comforting knowing youre not alone. That was really the crux of the conversation I had with Selma.

By documenting her journey, Selma has certainly been able to connect with other people living with MS; her platform is powerful and she's using it to promote messages of positivity and strength. As she put it in her latest Instagram post, "We can do more than we think we can."

The Big Bang Theory star <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a26236082/kaley-cuoco-abs-instagram/" id="02d30664-502f-3ce4-a746-0b3599f28f2b"> Kaley Cuoco </a> just took to Instagram to make a big announcement about tonight's episode: The show is in honor of Isaiah Zarate, a longtime fan and friend to Kaley.

In the Instagram post, shared Thursday afternoon, Kaley included multiple pictures of herself with Isaiah. "Tonights NEW episode <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bigbangtheory_cbs/" id="b75cb272-e9ea-3249-a6e7-40eb000bfe22"> @bigbangtheory_cbs </a> is in honor of my sensational friend Isaiah <a href="https://www.instagram.com/redguy29/" id="538c5a25-64a9-36c8-afb4-7c6f96498224"> @redguy29 </a> !," Kaley wrote. "He has sat in the front row of our audience for the entire run of season 12."

Kaley went on to explain that Isaiah suffers from epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin disorder (she tagged the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation in her post, too).

"When I look into the crowd, he always has the biggest smile on his face," Kaley wrote about Isaiah. "He has become quite a key player here at <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a26251943/kaley-cuoco-images-big-bang-theory-instagram/" id="516b7870-2547-327d-ad84-b9ee9f2e3156"> BBT </a> and I couldnt love him more.

<h1> I've never heard of epidermolysis bullosa-what is it? </h1>

Epidermolysis bullosa is actually a group of diseases that can cause painful blisters on the skin, according to the <a href="https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/epidermolysis-bullosa#tab-overview" id="685c8029-edc5-36f2-a466-2d2a089cb132"> National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases </a> (NIAMS).

Some people with the condition experience mild blisters, while others may deal with more severe blisters, some of which can form inside the body, in places like the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach, the mouth, and the bladder. In those cases, chewing and swallowing can be difficult, which can sometimes lead to nutritional issues.

Anyone can get epidermolysis bullosa, according to NIAMS, but symptoms usually first appear at the start of life, when patients are babies or toddlers.

While there's currently no cure for the condition, dermatologists and general practitioners can prescribe medications to help to reduce discomfort and prevent infection. In some cases, patients may need to undergo surgery to separate body parts like fingers and toes, that may have joined together by the blisters.

You'll have to wait until tonight's episode to see how <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a26836015/kaley-cuoco-almost-wasnt-penny-from-big-bang-theory/" id="f8fd70a4-e6fc-3787-a2fc-c2d0aeefa35f"> The Big Bang Theory </a> honors Kaley's friend, but from photos alone, I've got a feeling it'll put a big smile on Isaiah's face.

Anne Hathaway previously revealed why she <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a25996607/anne-hathaway-giving-up-alcohol-hungover/" id="1b94659b-fb1f-3a47-a3e4-92d416fdfa4a"> quit drinking </a> , but in a new interview for <a href="https://www.tatler.com/article/anne-hathaway-is-tatlers-june-cover-star" id="a8d3981e-b1d0-3900-a9ae-4cda45229a98"> Tatler's </a> June issue, the Princess Diaries star shared why she quit veganism, too.

The story goes that while she was out with her husband, Adam Schulman, and Interstellar co-star Matt Damon, she was offered salmon at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Reykjavik, Iceland. Matt said he would eat anything placed in front of him.

"So then I was the only chick and Im the vegan and everyones just going with the flow," she told Tatler. "So I asked [she puts on a small embarrassed voice]: 'Is your fish local?' And they said: 'Do you see that fjord?' So I had a piece of salmon and my brain felt like a computer rebooting."

While filming Interstellar, her space suit weighed 40 pounds, and she had to get fit in order to wear it every day on set. She previously told the fish story to <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a3888/anne-hathaway-interview-1114/" id="eca3366f-1a3e-383d-ab71-11d0dbc4eb3d"> Harper's Bazaar </a> , and said while vegan, "I just didn't feel good or healthy...not strong."

Anne first embraced a vegan lifestyle following her role as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. In preparation for the film, she followed an "almost-vegan" diet. "In Anne's case, she's a veggie, near vegan, so we started with that dietary platform," her nutrition coach at the time, Jackie Keller, told <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/07/19/anne-hathaway-catwoman-diet_n_1688068.html" id="dcf47e34-9482-3ccf-ada4-59824f6bf474"> Huffington Post </a> . After the film, she went full vegan, and became one of the lifestyle's most enthusiastic proponents, and even had <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-6362/Anne-Hathaway-Has-Vegan-Wedding.html" id="a65f4304-d437-3473-a2cd-14c5ce37288e"> a vegan menu at her wedding </a> .

Who's ready for a holiday treat? Nope, I'm not talking about chocolate eggs.

Elizabeth Hurley, the stunning 53-year-old actress, model, and swimsuit designer, just posted a photo on Instagram that is truly two gifts in one.

The first gift: those abs. Any time Elizabeth shares a shot of her super in-shape physique, it's something else.

The second present: a discount! As she wrote in her photo caption, Elizabeth is offering 20 percent off everything from her <a href="https://www.elizabethhurley.com/" id="7377ba1a-af0a-3290-a204-3d5be7fac2bb"> Elizabeth Hurley Beach </a> collection, as an Easter special-including some styles that are already in the "special offers" section of the site.

If your jaw is still dropped over the fact that the 53-year-old can rock a bikini like nothing you've seen before (totally get it), you may want to know a little something about her diet and fitness routine. She previously told <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/a23901010/elizabeth-hurley-workouts-diet-plan/" id="8e9626db-cedd-326a-af85-36f64e85ef2d"> Women's Health </a> that her "secret" to looking so damn good consists of three things: "Making more time for exercise, eating nutritious foods, and taking the time to do relaxing activities."

Elizabeth's diet is shockingly normal, if not a tad bit boring. She starts her morning off with two mugs of warm water (#HydrationGoals), but other than that, things are pretty status quo. Here's a sample of her typical meals:

<ul><li> Breakfast : A bowl of Greek yogurt, a banana, and a little bit of honey </li><li> Lunch: A bowl of veggie soup </li><li> Dinner : Grilled chicken and "lots and lots and lots" of vegetables </li></ul>

As for her fitness, Elizabeth starts toning first thing in the morning. She'll do squat reps <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/food/a23901010/elizabeth-hurley-workouts-diet-plan/" id="707ae178-d877-3f0e-acc5-81e700bd4ae3"> while she brushes her teeth </a> , which is a pretty boss move, especially for someone who wears multiple career hats. (I'm totally stealing this one...)

Beyond her brush and bend routine, Elizabeth goes on a brisk morning walk with her dogs and adds yoga and Pilates into her week when she has the time for it.

Elizabeth's lax but consistent approach to staying healthy definitely seems like one worth mimicking. I'll be starting tomorrow morning, so here's to hoping I can squat without getting toothpaste everywhere.

"Dont take the small stuff so seriously and live a little."

This is the closing line of the <a href="http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-2373429-bailey-jean-matheson.html" id="20cd2b4c-0fef-3695-a904-221c75c1e264"> obituary of Bailey Jean Matheson </a> , a 35-year-old woman who died of a rare cancer on April 5. After Matheson's obituary, which she wrote herself, was published on <a href="http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-2373429-bailey-jean-matheson.html" id="6f7d777f-8249-301d-a45b-512abfb202ef"> Inmemoriam.ca </a> , it first went viral in Canada (where she was from) and is now reaching people all over the world with its inspirational message. The gist? No matter how long you've got on this planet, make the most of it.

Just as it ends, Bailey's obituary opens with a touching message: "35 years may not seem long, but damn it was good!" Knowing she had just two years to live after her cancer diagnosis, Bailey declined treatment and decided to spend her remaining time living life to its fullest. Throughout the obituary, Bailey thanked her family and friends for their constant love and support.

In 2017, Matheson was diagnosed with <a href="https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6880/leiomyosarcoma" id="c4a509b1-fed7-3845-ac84-882da57ea2d3"> leiomyosarcoma </a> , a rare cancer that affects muscle tissue. In her obituary, Bailey made sure to note her love for her friends, and how they helped her through her disease. As an only child, she wrote that she'd always cherished her friendships more than anything. "I never thought I could love my friends more than I did but going through this and having your unconditional love and support you have made something that is normally so hard, more bearable and peaceful," she wrote. "Thank you and I love you all so much."

Bailey also acknowledged her boyfriend, Brent, who she met on a dating app just three months before her diagnoses. She sweetly referenced their unusual circumstances in her obituary when she wrote, "You had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you swiped right that day." Then, she continued, "I couldn't have asked for a better man to be by my side for all the adventures, appointments, laughs, cries and breakdowns. You are an amazing person and anyone in your life is so fortunate to know you. I love you beyond words."

"35 years may not seem long, but damn it was good!" To my parents, thank you for supporting me and my decisions throughout my life. I always remember my mom saying losing a child would be the hardest loss a parent could go through. My parents gave me the greatest gift of supporting my decisions with not going through chemo and just letting me live the rest of my life the way I believed it should be. I know how hard that must have been watching me stop treatment and letting nature take its course. I love you both even more for this. To my friends, being an only child, I've always cherished my friendships more than anything because I've never had siblings of my own. I never thought I could love my friends more than I did but going through this and having your unconditional love and support you have made something that is normally so hard, more bearable and peaceful. Thank you and I love you all so much. To my Brent, you came into my life just three months before my diagnosis. You had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you swiped right that day. I couldn't have asked for a better man to be by my side for all the adventures, appointments, laughs, cries and breakdowns. You are an amazing person and anyone in your life is so fortunate to know you. I love you beyond words. I am survived by my loving parents, Wendy (Foxwell) and Sandy (John Alexander) Matheson; my amazing and caring boyfriend, Brent Andrews and family; my wonderful pets, Rosella, Cat, Peyton (Boo Boo) and Harley; my great group of friends; my aunt, Sharon MacIntyre and family, my aunt, Paulette Novacco and family, and my uncle, Ted Foxwell and family. I am predeceased by my maternal grandmother, Lillian Clark; paternal grandparents, Elsie (Matheson) MacKenzie and Alex Matheson. Thank you for all the support, donations, fundraisers, food, messages and calls over the past two years. It means the world to me. A special thank you to my Aunts, Sharon and Paulette, for being supportive and thank you to all my doctors, my palliative care team, all my VONs, my social worker, and East Coast Naturolpathic. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Melanies Way or Young Adults Cancer Canada. Details regarding the Celebration of Life will follow at a later date. "Dont take the small stuff so seriously and live a little."

Bailey's obituary has touched people all over the world. <a href="http://www.inmemoriam.ca/view-announcement-2373429-bailey-jean-matheson.html#comment-4428070797" id="2eb6f8dd-b1f7-3757-a733-ba91fe1b9fd3"> One commenter </a> on her obituary, a mother living on Maui, Hawaii, wrote that while she'd never met Bailey, she was moved by her words and her gesture. "Im the mother of two daughters myself. And I wanted to thank her parents, from the bottom of my heart, for having raised such a beautiful spirit," the stranger wrote. "Aloha beautiful Bailey Matheson. You now know the answer to lifes greatest question. Rest In Peace."

Another wrote, "I did not know your daughter but... she sounds like an amazing human being. You must have been so proud of her and distraught with the news and what happened after. I send you my very best and it may seem impossible but I don't think I'll ever forget her. The way she communicated in her obituary with such love an appreciation is beyond words."

"Few times in your life do you find someone with so much love and grace," still another person <a href="https://twitter.com/jerryleewilson/status/1115578314083663874" id="3ec35956-b9ea-3ee2-ac23-dc79f7a50a92"> tweeted </a> . Though Bailey may not be here to see it happen, it's clear her message will live on in all that read it.

This 35-Year-Old's Obituary Is Going Viral

Bailey Jean Matheson’s Obituary Is Going Viral After She Died Of Cancer At Age 35

Ariana Grande has consistently been a champion of mental health awareness. On Thursday, the singer revealed the impact post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has had on her brain.

Ariana, 25, posted a photo on her Instagram Stories of what looked to be a group text among her and friends. Ariana opens the text by saying "guys...." followed by a side-by-side photo of two brain scans that show what a "healthy brain" and "PTSD brain" look like. The "PTSD brain" has several highlighted areas, where the "healthy brain" has hardly any.

Below that shot, Ariana shows what her actual brain scans look like-all four images have several significantly highlighted areas. Ariana adds that the photo of her texts is "hilarious and terrifying" and "not a joke."

<h1> Hold on, Ariana Grande has PTSD? </h1>

A screenshot of Ariana Grandes Instagram Story.

In an interview Ariana did with British Vogue in June 2018, she revealed she <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a21081366/ariana-grande-ptsd-manchester-bombing/" id="5b4fe1e8-73f1-369a-a091-1c49bc88ecff"> suffers from PTSD </a> following the May 2017 terrorist attack during her concert at the Manchester Arena in England.

According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/23-year-man-arrested-connection-manchester-attack-police/story?id=47578302" id="fadf2348-d4b7-3dd9-a32d-93b1abcfe017"> ABC News </a> , the attack occurred when a suicide bomber motivated by ISIS detonated an explosive device killing at least <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a19994197/ariana-grande-manchester/" id="3c9c55e5-b12f-3b12-a1e6-647fdc205583"> 22 people and injuring many others </a> .

In her Vogue interview, Ariana revealed that the dizziness and anxiety she felt after the Manchester bombings were very much signs of PTSD.

"That's what everyone was telling me," she told Vogue. "It's hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss. But, yeah, [PTSD is] a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well." She later added, "I don't think I'll ever know how to talk about it and not cry."

PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Symptoms of PTSD-like flashbacks, avoiding certain situations, and feeling tense or on edge all the time, among many others-typically occur within three months of a traumatic incident.

PTSD is also pretty common; per the National Center for PTSD, about seven or eight out of every 100 people will develop PTSD in their lifetimes. Women are also more likely to experience PTSD than men, but genes also play a role in PTSD risk factors.

According to the NIMH, the most common treatments for PTSD include antidepressants along with psychotherapy.

As for PTSD's affects on the brain-and Ariana's brain scans-it's unclear what type of brain scan Ariana underwent, but according to a 2010 study in the <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1741-2560/7/1/016011/meta" id="3acc4e8b-06f3-3ab4-a7dc-e8022c183bbc"> Journal of Neural Engineering </a> , a type of brain scan called magnetoencephalograhy (MEG) can help determine differences in the brains of those affected by PTSD.

For the study, researchers were able to differentiate PTSD patients from control subjects with 90 percent accuracy using the MEG, which as 248 sensors that record the interactions in the brain on a millisecond by millisecond basis (much faster that typical functional magnetic resonance imaging). Along with diagnosing those with PTSD, the researchers were also able to judge the severity of the patients' PTSD.

If you've ever gotten your period at the **worst** possible time (um, who hasn't?), then you can definitely relate to Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe's experience. She recently opened up about getting a surprise visit from Aunt Flow during her first hookup with now-boyfriend Jason Tartick (who, ICYMI, placed third on <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a20743853/bachelorette-cast-2018/" id="a8d7919d-8cfa-31d3-ad57-9003d5689e8a"> Becca Kufrin's season of </a> <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a20743853/bachelorette-cast-2018/" id="d80b8cca-3ca3-3a28-a4aa-095f5f76e355"> The Bachelorette </a> ).

"I was on my period," Kaitlyn confessed on the most recent episode of Off the Vine <a href="https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Grape-Therapy-New-York-Live-Show-Part-2" id="ce12a171-b3b5-3c33-a4b5-02c8debc3494"> podcast </a> . "This is a natural thing for women. We don't have to act like it's weird... I was like 'Yo, let's just dry hump.' So we did. Literally, I had pants on. We were fully clothed and hot and heavy." (Of course, period sex is always an option, too, gals.)

First of all, major props to Kaitlyn for being open about her experience and using it to normalize menstruation. And if that wasn't enough of a share, she added, jokingly (I think?), "In five minutes, he picked my nose and gave me an orgasm. So yah, it was good."

Kaitlyn's comments come just a few days after-and in stark contrast to- <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/relationships/a26812689/what-happened-the-bachelor-finale-colton-cassie-body-language/" id="a737c02a-b044-3d30-a64f-adae0f97c9a1"> Bachelor Colton Underwood </a> saying he thought <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a27009497/colton-underwood-bachelor-period-panties-gross-ladygang/" id="5db896ba-7b6f-3898-abb6-b43b77536992"> period underwear was gross </a> (**eye roll**). So while there clearly is some serious period stigma to overcome, it's cool to see a <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19977857/ways-talking-about-sex-has-changed-on-the-bachelor/" id="2b3995e2-5c73-3a19-a1ae-45a6620bf09a"> reality star actually getting </a> <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-love/a19977857/ways-talking-about-sex-has-changed-on-the-bachelor/" id="83e30831-1652-3259-af02-f1d1cffeb260"> real </a> about a totally natural part of her body.

The funny Bachelorette also said that Jason's frequent compliments tell her they must still be in the "honeymoon phase." "Talk to me in two years," she laughed.

Jason, on the other hand, has other predictions for their life together as time goes on. "Talk to me in two years, and we'll be married with a kid," he said. "Two dogs, too."

Jason and Kaitlyn seem very into sharing their love-and everything else in between-with the world, and if that's not a sign of a happy, healthy, and oh yeah, filter-free relationship, I don't know what is.

Dr. Pimple Popper is at it again. On Tuesday night, dermatologist Sandra Lee, MD, shared a new video on Instagram that'll have you wishing you could look away (but you know you can't).

In her latest masterpiece, <a href="https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a26751169/dr-pimple-popper-season-finale-episode-chip-on-shoulder/" id="4f35e07f-c716-3232-aef5-d4f72c426bdf"> Dr. Pimple Popper </a> shows three pilar cysts on a person's scalp, and, of course, the extraction process of each. She even captions the video, "Poppa cyst, Momma cyst, and Baby cyst!" Groan, but also, LOL.
