Miracle Watts is the 22-year-old Instagram sensation with over a million followers and two businesses under her belt. Miracle is from Houston, Texas, and a few years ago became an overnight sensation on Instagram.

Not content to rest on her popularity, she turned herself into an entrepreneur. If you’re a young adult looking to grow your brand or become a social media influencer and entrepreneur, check out our interview below:

What made you join the modeling industry?

I’ve always been into beauty and taking pictures, eventually I just created popularity doing something I loved.

When did you decide to go in business for yourself and why?

I started my first company “The Miracle Lash,” which is a luxury false eyelash company in January of 2015 after I reached over a million followers. Once it dawned on me that I had so many supporters, I figured why not find a way to monetize from my platform.

What advice do you have for young women looking to start their own business?

It’s not hard to start a business, but it takes a focused person to keep a business. Make sure when you start a company it’s something that you really enjoy because it takes a lot of your time and dedication to run a successful business.

What made you start your cosmetic line “The Miracle Lash” and your hair line “The Miracle Tresses” and how long did it take you to start it?

I wanted to stick within beauty because it’s something that I love. I would get so many compliments about my hair and makeup, I knew people would trust my product. I thought about hair and lashes at the same time, but I decided to go with lashes first because it was the simplest. The lash company took like about four months to open, the hair on the other end has taken me a bit over a year.

The hair is a bit more tricky, because I strongly believe in great quality! I spent thousands of dollars buying samples to make sure that I could provide best of the best. Just recently I took a trip to India, where I was finally able to find a product that I was secure about adding to the brand, so I’ll be releasing it Oct. 15, 2016, and I’m soooo excited about it!

What made you become involved with the beauty industry?

Well I’m girly, so the day my mother didn’t get upset about me wearing makeup I WAS GONE FOREVERRRR! Lol

Were you always in shape? What are some things you do to stay in shape?

I was in shape for the most part, I was a cheerleader in high-school and played other sports here and there. In my adult life I work out much more. I try 4 to 5 days a week on a bad week I’ll go 2 to 3. My problem is food, I have to work on my eating habits.

 What advice do you have for women looking to become social media influencers?

Consistency is key when it comes to keeping relevancy and remember to be yourself.

What has been the most challenging thing about being your own boss?

For me the most challenging thing is trying to maintain and business a still live and enjoy my life. A lot of times I get caught up in business and forget to live, and others I get caught up in living. Find a balance!

Why do you think you grew in popularity so quickly?

I don’t really know why it grew so quickly, because there are a billion beautiful girls. I’m just blessed that it did.

What are your favorite high end and drug store products?

My favorite high end products are MAC face and body products and Becca foundation, (I can’t decide which I like better just yet), Anastasia Beverly Hills highlighter and MAC Matte lipsticks. My favorite drug store products are Maybelline Falsies Volume Mascara and Maybelline Infallible Foundation.

Who is someone in the beauty industry you have always admired or looked up to and why?

I don’t have a specific person, but I love watching random YouTube tutorials! I can watch tutorials ALLLL DAYYY LONG. Lol

What is something you want your supporters to know about you that they may not already know?

When I was younger I wanted to be so many outrages things, but I really wanted to be a rapper but my skills are little to none. lol

Where do you see yourself in the next few years?

Well in about five years, I’ll hope have a multimillion dollar company and a family.

First of all, apologies for this headline which we admit reads like a page out of millennial beauty Mad Libs.

But yes, there is now a thing called hair contouring, and it’s being touted as the new ombré. Is this what politicians mean when they talk about progress?

Technically, this new process is called “eclipting,” was invented by Aveda, and news of it comes by way of Nylon.

So WTF is it? Well, according to Nylon:

Eclipting is a new way of coloring hair that’s designed to illuminate facial features with varying placements of shadow and light. In so many words, it’s kind of like contouring, but for your hair. It highlights specific aspects of a hairstyle with the use of contrasting colors to draw in or bring out an individual’s specific features and contours—meaning that no one customer’s eclipted style will ever look at the same.

Sounds like witchcraft, just in time for Halloween.

Eclipting allegedly “works with the guest’s skin tone, eye color, haircut, and face shape to create the desired effect,” David Adams of FourteenJay in NYC told Nylon, and it’s supposed to bring out your favorite features.

The below video from blogger Le Happy further explains the process, which kind of sounds like smoke and mirrors… but then again, isn’t that what beauty’s all about?

So you know how Kanye got Kim a second engagement ring that was even blingier than Kim’s first engagement ring because he’s rich and eccentric like that?

Turns out that ring, which was stolen from Kim on Sunday, had a giant flaw: Kanye thought it would be funny to engrave the word it “Adidas” on it.

Right, because as everybody knows, women spend their entire lives dreaming of the day their husband gives them a joke ring.

A few days before the robbery, Kim sat down with Andy Cohen and told the story of how Kanye woke her up in the middle of the night to play this cruel joke on her:

“I was sleeping, and [Kanye] woke me up in the middle of the night and said, ‘Babe, babe, I got you something from Adidas.’ And I said, ‘I’ll get the shoes in the morning babe, I’m sleeping.’ And then he put a box on my pillow, a Lorraine Schwartz box, and he goes, ‘No, open your eyes.’ And I opened my eyes and it was a box, and I like, woke up, and I was like, ‘What is this?’”

What Kanye should have said was, “It’s your worst nightmare, babe” but according to Kim what he actually said was, “Well, you know I just did that big Adidas deal, so I got you something from Adidas!”

And then Kim ended her story by saying, “and he engraved Adidas on the band inside because he’s funny like that.”

Honestly, I’ve never seriously considered the idea that Kim’s robbery was staged until now. It just never made sense to me why she would risk the incredibly profitable empire she built from scratch for what turned out to just be a small amount of public pity.

Now, it all makes sense to me.

That’s just how much she hated the fact that Kanye ruined a priceless ring by carving the word “Addidas” into it.

You go girl.

There’s no doubt in our minds that tacos are the new pizza. Pretty soon you’ll see punny taco tank tops everywhere and skinny girls professing their adorably relatable love for tacos via Instagram on the daily.

But if you really want to prove that you were a true taco fan before it was trendy, you need to have a sleepover in a Taco Bell.

Okay, that sounds fucking disgusting, right? Most of us won’t even use the toilets at a fast food restaurant, let alone sleep in one.

But don’t worry, we’re not talking about just any Taco Bell, we’re talking about a specific Taco Bell that’s actually being converted into an Airbnb.

The Taco Bell in question is located in Ontario, Canada (sorry Americans), and the restaurant will be transformed into a hotel room for one lucky winner.

The restaurant-turned-Airbnb will have four beds, big screen TVs, video games, and even a Taco Bell butler to tend to all your special taco needs throughout your one night stay.

Unfortunately, the contest is only open to residents of Canada, and we’re pretty sure transportation isn’t included.

But the whole point of the sweepstakes is to promote Taco Bell’s Steak Doubledilla. So even if you can’t sleep in the luxury of a Taco Bell themed bedroom, you can drunk eat a Steak Doubledilla sometime in the near future.

Cuffing season is here.

It’s almost too cold to be meeting hotties at BBQ’s and soon, it will be way too icy on the roads for you to head to the club in your sky-high stiletto heels.

So what to do? Find a winter time bae to snuggle up and watch Netflix with while drinking spiked apple cider. While it’s not quite cuffing season yet, it’s better to be prepared early.

1. Prepare For The Ghosts of Hook-ups Past

Remember all those dudes that you were into at one point until they mysteriously disappeared? Miraculously, all these dudes will probably come running right back now that it’s winter time and they need somewhere to keep (their cock) warm.

2. Weigh Your Options

Whether you’re going back to an old fuck buddy or investing in a new lover, there are some crucial attributes that you need to consider for cuffing season. First off, how far do they live from you? The closer, the better. Because unless your pussy squirts hundred dollar bills, there’s no way a man is going to drive 50 miles through a blizzard to your place. Other things to consider are his favorite movies and/or TV shows, because it’s unlikely that you’re going to enjoy spending all winter watching The Walking Dead when you’d rather be watching Pretty Little Liars.

3. Send Out This Application

Instead of awkwardly searching the streets and/or Tinder for a guy who loves Amy’s Mac & Cheese and Orange Is The New Black, this application will make the process quick and easy!

4. Get a Cute Pair of Comfy Clothes

We all know that when you’re watching movies alone you’re rocking your bleach-stained yoga pants with a hole in the crotch. As much as your new snuggle buddy may appreciate the easy access, you might want to invest in some more seductive loungewear.

5. Steal Your Parent’s and/or Roommate’s Netflix Account

If you prefer to have your cuffing season buddy over at your place (and let’s be real, you’re not going to want to trudge over to his house in the snow), you better make sure you’re hooked up to Netflix. Being the broke bitch that you probably are, your best bet is to sneak onto your parents’ or roommate’s account. Just try not to watch too much weird shit on there or they’re going to start to wonder…but then again, they’re probably not going to be surprised.

6. Stock Up On Lots of Snacks

Grubhub and Postmates are both wonderful options, but sometimes you can’t even be bothered to walk to the front door, am I right? You should probably just cut your losses and head to Costco for those family sized boxes of Ramen and Easy Mac.

7. And Wine

If you can’t budget for the snacks, at least stock up on lots of wine. Drinking a whole bottle is kind of the same thing as dinner, right? Besides, if your winter time bae is still a fresh romance (or if you found him from one of the applications above), you’re obviously going to need alcohol to ease the awkwardness.

As her Instagram handle might suggest, Eileen Kelly falls somewhere in between sugar and spice.

Last time we talked to her, she was brushing off the haters and slut-shamers, and now she’s made her sexual authority a topic of discussion, launching her own sex-ed blog to empower women to embrace their sexuality.

Take a look at these pictures of Eileen in glamorous lace and latex.

If you haven’t heard of her yet, you’ve definitely heard her music. Galore’s favorite popstar FLETCHER’s song Warpaint was the viral hit of last summer, and now she’s finally put out the EP we’ve all been waiting for. We’ve had it on repeat since the day it was released – every single track is an epic bop. Zolita sat down with her for our show Girlcult to talk about how the internet has enabled artists like her to succeed without a major record label.

We all know Rebecca Fox as the gorgeous tatted up model we love to follow on Insta. But Rebecca Fox is gone now — you might even toss up a #RIP — and in her place is Remelie.

Allow the artist formerly known as Rebecca Fox to explain:

For the past year I’ve been working hard behind the scenes on DJ’ing. Whilst I’ve worked the modelling industry for the past few years music has always been my passion and becoming a DJ is my ultimate career path.
I guess it will come as a surprise to some that Fox is an alias. My birth name is Rebecca Remelie and moving forward I’ll be DJ’ing under the name Remelie. I’m aware that so many models turn ‘DJ’s’ and perhaps don’t DJ for the true passion however I want to be taken seriously in the industry and so the name change is to fully dissociate myself with my former alter ego.
I purposefully took a step back from modelling and social media to allow time to rebrand myself and make sure the time was right to start this new journey.
This mix will be the first of many that will feature on my SoundCloud page and in 2017 I’m happy to say I’ll be DJ’ing across various venues and living my absolute dream.

Peep Remelie’s first mix and these exclusive photos below.

Dieting is hard.

This is a fact and not an opinion.

Nothing ever works, being hungry all the time is bitch, and you have to give up fun things like getting blackout drunk on a Wednesday night because passing out in the bathroom is a bad look.

This is why once women find a trick that works for them, they stick to it like glue.

Take Beyoncé’s Mom, for example.

Whenever Tina wants to do something like eat a taco when she knows she shouldn’t, she just looks at pictures of Beyonce until she doesn’t want to eat anymore.

My trainer Patrick sent me this photo so I would not eat a taco today He took it himself at the Houston Concert

I’ll have to try that one next, girl.

Thanks for the tip.

Justin Bieber is a famous human around the world, but he still feels like he’s entitled to some semblance of privacy in public, which we assume is how he got the bright idea to walk around in Amsterdam wearing a wig and a mustache/goatee set that looks like it came out of the 99 cent bin at Spirit Halloween.

“Hey, does this look real,” Justin asked some random blonde lady about to ride off on her moped.

“Hey, does this look real?” (Justin spotted out in Amsterdam, Netherlands. October 7) pic.twitter.com/CwhqMsRIwd

Maybe she was starstruck, or maybe she was just confused why some random American wearing an obviously fake disguise was talking to her, but she never got around to answering Justin’s question, which is a shame because it’s always so satisfying when you get to watch somebody say “no” to a famous person.

Next time Justin, just call up the Kardashians ahead of time and get the number for whoever put together their disguises for their trip to the Hollywood Bus Tour.

And cover up your tattoos bb.

They’re a dead giveaway.

that “disguise”… I’m dead pic.twitter.com/v4l8jCsn8Z

Singer Sophia Kameron has spent most of her life writing poems and song lyrics and has been in love with music since she was a little girl…which actually wasn’t that long ago, because she’s only fifteen!

But really, Sophia is just getting started in the music world.

She just released her first official single, “Connected,” which is about making connections with people and coming together to create one voice. But that’s not all she’s done, in fact, Sophia keep busy with a very popular YouTube channel  where she creates videos of amazing acoustic song covers of her favorite tunes!

Today, she premieres her awesome video for James Bay’s “Let It Go.”

Later this year, she’ll be dropping her debut EP in November and will be touring the US in December!

Check out the awesome video here, and then peep our Q&A with Miss Sophia below!

Out of the songs you’ve covered on your YouTube Channel, which have been your favorites? And are there any other songs you would like to cover in the future?

I like to change things up up a little every now and then for my viewers. One day I’ll sing ‘Work” by Rihanna and then ‘Love Yourself’ by Justin Bieber the next, both covers I’m really proud of, bot SO very different. Right now, I’m LOVING Frank Ocean’s new album Blonde so I’m working on some of his songs right now too.

What made you decide to cover “Let It Go” by James Bay?

I absolutely LOVE the lyrics so it was an easy choice. I love the song so much.

What is the concept behind the music video for “Let It Go”?

The concept behind the video is to let something go even if it hurts. Towards the end of the video I throw a hat off the roof. That hat symbolizes the last thing I have to let go, and just I let it go!

Who are some of your musical influences?

Taylor Swift is my biggest inspiration because of her incredible songwriting. I read a lot about her and how she got started. And since I write my own songs too, I can relate to her process and to her a lot. I also really admire Alessia Cara because she’s such a talented, humble and down to earth person.

What made you decide to write “Connected”?

Even though I’m only 15, I feel no matter what age someone is, their voice truly matters and I want to remind people of that, especially with what is going on in the world right now. Our voices are more important than ever, and by being connected, our generation could really make a difference and be heard!

What is the concept behind the music video for “Connected”?

The message of the music video is basically to emphasize the fact that by coming together and speaking up for what you believe, really can change things, and really can make a difference.

What message do you have for other young people about staying connected?

Everyone has dreams and passions and we can stay connected by being authentic and real to each other. At the end of the day, no matter what you do in life, that is what is most important.

Do you think it’s easier to be an artist in the day and age of digital music and Spotify? Do you think it’s harder to connect with people in terms of getting the music out there?

Yes, I do think getting music out there now is harder due to so many artists putting out new music because they have the ability to use Spotify and other social platforms. But on the flip side, there are so many avenues to get you message out to people and to connect with fans all over the world, so I think the digital world has helped artists in many ways, but can certainly hinder in other ways.

Most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you while on tour or while performing?

I was performing in DC one time for a show and something went wrong with the sound board and for a moment, all anyone could hear was just the drums! So embarrassing! Everybody looked so confused and I had no idea what was going on. Thankfully that should never happen again!

When can we expect to hear a full album or more new music from you?

Yes! I am releasing my EP in November.

What’s next for you? Is there an upcoming tour?

I’m going on Digi Tour in December which I’m so super excited about! We will be announcing the dates in the next coming weeks.

How can we stalk you and see your other covers?

All social media is @SophiaKameron Excited to chat with new friends!

The internet is a very confusing place right now.

While half of us are chomping on kale, live-streaming our morning yoga routines, and condemning anything with gluten, the other half are seeing what ridiculously calorie-loaded franken-food we can come up with.

Case in point: the Mac n’ Cheetos pizza that was created by JP Lambiase, a vlogger for the confusingly titled blog, Hellthyjunkfood.

This concoction was probably inspired by Burger King’s recently released Mac n’ Cheetos, which caused quite a fucking uproar. But JP likely thought, why not add in another food that the internet is obsessed with?

Now, he gets the pizza girls, the mac n’ cheese lovers, and the Cheetos addicts, which is really quite genius. Oh, and the pizza also involves pulled pork, for the meat-lovers out there.

The combination clearly worked, because the video already has over 130k views. Are the people viewing the video actually going to make it themselves? Probs not. But your local Instagram-famous girl will likely post the link on her FB timeline to remind everyone that she eats like a fatass and still wears a size zero. So relatable.

Check the video below so that you can be obsessed or disgusted, then carry on with your day.

As anybody with a pulse is well aware of, one of Donald Trump’s favorite pastimes is saying sexist things about women.

Yesterday the Washington Post obtained a recording of a conversation which allegedly took place in 2005 when Trump was arriving on set to film a cameo in “Days of Our Lives.”

In the recording, Trump says some super charming things about women including how easy it is to do literally whatever with them when you’re famous.

A transcript:

“I’ve gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,” Donald said in reference to the actress who was outside the bus, waiting to escort him to the set. “And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

The Post gave Trump a day to comment and surprisingly, he didn’t try to say the recording was fabricated. “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago,” Trump said before trying to distract people with his favorite scapegoat at the moment. “Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close, I apologize if anyone was offended.”

Apology not accepted.

Is it time for him to just go away yet?

We all know not to believe everything we read while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store, but have you ever wondered how tabloids get away with lying about famous people 24/7?

Like, how do they not get sued for libel all the damn time?

Apparently, it’s because for the most part, publicists don’t give a fuck.

“Publicists, they’re probably more concerned about who the leak is,” professional gossiper Elaine “Lainey” Lui told Vanity Fair. “If a blind comes out and they know it’s their client, any publicist would probably say their first priority is to find out who’s leaking and shut it down.”

This is also why celebs also don’t sue for blind items — you know, those gossip items that say everything juicy but the name of the person involved.

“That’s why I don’t think blinds bother celebs and publicists as much as overt stories,” Lainey said. “Ultimately, a blind always carries with it a question mark, and there will be people who doubt the legitimacy or accuracy of it. So it’s less of a threat.”

Entertainment lawyer Walter Mosley, who represents both Amber Rose and Blac Chyna, also raised an important point: acknowledging a story, blind or otherwise, will probably make just end up drawing more attention to the headline you want to make disappear.

“Sometimes the strategy is, I don’t want to give this Web site credibility by acknowledging them,” Walter explained. “That’s usually a P.R. strategy that you end up with because the lawyer’s telling you, ‘You’re probably not going to win, and if you do win, it’s going to be so expensive it’s probably not worth it.’ ”

Also, there’s this little thing called the First Amendment which protects our basic human right to free speech. It’s really cool and comes in handy when you publish gossip for a living.

That being said, of course lawsuits do happen from time to time, but for the most part, you can get away with saying whatever the hell you want because it’s not worth the trouble for celebs to pursue legal action.

Ain’t nothing like five hot boys who can sing, play instruments, and have Australian accents. Throw in some laid back infectious tunes, and you have the latest breakout band, Jakubi. Don’t get it twisted though, they are far from a boy band. If you were to take Bruno Mars, clone him five times, and then turned him into a smooth group that can play piano, guitar, drums, and more – you’d probably have something similar to Jakubi.

They hit us with a new EP just last month, entitled 61Barkly, which has four fresh tracks with delicious helpings of soul, melodic keys and guitars, topped off with those smooth vocals we are obsessed with.

The quintet of two brothers, two cousins, and one really good friend collaborated with industry top producers who’ve worked with Kanye, Dr. Dre, John Legend, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, and more.

With a list like that, you can see why this EP should be on your list of downloads. Check out the EP, the music video, and then peep our Q&A with Addam, Robert, Jacob, Jerome and Jesse below!

61Barkly Track listing

1)   Bank Account

2)   Uptown Lady

3)   Pillow

4)   Nobody Better

Seems like almost everyone in the band is related (brothers, cousins, etc.), what made you all decide to be a band?

Addam: Yep. Me and Jesse are cousins. Jacob and Jerome are brothers, and Rob is sorta like the best friend that we grew up with.

Rob: I don’t think we ever really “decided” to do anything, was more just that once we started making music together, everything else outside felt a little boring.

Addam: We used to just play parties for our friends. Nothing too serious. Then it just kept growing and growing. So we just kept jamming. Me and Rob started playing in bands about 15 years ago, more sorta punk and indie style. Our drummer left our band one day, and Rob was like “Hey doesn’t your cousin drum?” Jesse is my cousin. The three of us played together for a while before meeting Jacob and Jerome through a friend. They were DJing, producing, and making more electronic style music. They had never played in a band before, actually Jerome had never even sung before [laughs].

Rob: Yeah I remember Addzy calling me up to see if I wanted to go have a jam. I was sorta in a different music project at the time, but as soon as we started jamming together, I was like “Yep I’m good to go boys” [laughing]. It just felt really really natural. Instant vibe!

Addam: And that was the birth. four years later here we are.

We’ve heard that the name 61 Barkly is the address where you decided to be a band. What’s up with that?

Jacob: So the friend that we all met through was actually my ex-girlfriend. We moved in with Addzy and Jesse. The address was 61 Barkley. That was where it all began. Me and Addzy would just sit around playing on Ableton making beats. My ex-girlfriend used to get upset with me because we would just be making music all night and not hangin’ with her [laughs]. We just wanted to call it that because that’s where it all started, it’s a bit of a representation of where we came from.

Describe your sound/

Jerome: Ummmmm I would say maybe N.E.R.D meets Stevie Wonder meets Red Hot Chili Peppers meets Breakbot. We have heaps of different influences though. My dad was a massive influence for me. He is a crazy dancer and always had stuff on. Earth Wind and Fire, Zap and Roger, James Brown, just all these funk artists. I didn’t realize at the time, but yeah in the long run he has had a huge impact on me. But we all like a lot of different stuff. These boys grew up on more rock stuff, Blink 182, Incubus, Rage Against The Machine. Pretty all over the place.

If “Nobody Better” was on a movie soundtrack, set to a specific scene maybe, what would it be and why?

Jacob: It would be the last scene of the movie when the guy realizes that there’s nobody better and it’s raining.

Rob: So much rain.  

Jerome: And he is on his knees in a puddle.

Jacob: Then she turns around and they both just run at each other, and he picks her up and they kiss. But they had to be separated, couldn’t be together. So he leaves her a little letter, and she gets on the plane.

Jerome: But he sent the letter with doves.

Rob: [laughing] Wow.

Jacob: Then she gets the letter, opens it, and it just says there’s ‘nobody better.’

Rob: That’s it, roll credits.

We’ve heard “Nobody Better” is about love. Tell us more about that.

Rob: Ummm well it’s pretty much a straight up love track. Wanting someone and just realizing that they are the best and there is nobody better than them. Then that feeling you get when you know you can’t have them, so you sorta, in a strange way wish you never met them. A little bit of that bitter sweet vibe.

Addam: And wondering if that person is thinking the same thing about you.

Since you guys kind of have the ultimate digital platform discovery story, do you think it’s easier to be an artist in the day and age of digital music?

Rob: Yeah I think times have definitely changed, and you gotta keep up. I always hear artists and bands complaining about how hard it is because “You don’t make money from record sales like you use to.” This is the downside to the “new age industry.” The up side, which was a huge thing for us when we were starting out was, as independent artists we were able to have our music heard and build a fanbase all over the world, just by putting our music online. I don’t know if you would say it’s easier now to be an artist, but I think it is 100% easier to be heard. What you do once people hear you is a different story. Because it’s so easy now to make music from home, for free. Put tracks up online, for free. Online marketing and promo now is basically a combination of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, blogs and play-listing, and is also free…Every single kid is fighting for the spotlight. Which is great because we are pushing creativity and sounds further and further, but ultimately, I think it’s like this: Easier to get big, harder to stand out!

Do you believe that every song is about something?

Jacob: I don’t think every song has to be about something. Some songs are more just for fun. But I think when you are able to really connect with something, that’s the best. A catchy hook is always cool, ya know, but if it’s just candy canes and unicorns all the time…I mean everyone’s different, but I like a bit of substance. That’s something we really try to put in our music. I play bass in the band, but I know that Jerome and Robby, they do more the vocals, and they always really try to make sure there’s a little something that can connect with the people.

Have you ever done anything using your musical abilities to convince a girl to go out with you? Do you still use your music abilities to entice the ladies?  and of course we wanna know, which ones of you are single?

Jacob: 100%

Addam: Yep all the time [laughs]. I steal quotes from other artists

Jacob: Sometimes after the show I’m real sweaty and the girls don’t like me, so ya need a little help [laughs]. Three of us are single, the other two are taken.

Have you found out anything weird about each other while being on tour? As in, does anyone snore loudly? Does anyone get majorly lost when driving? 

Jacob: Well, I’ve lived with Jerome for 25 years, he’s my brother, I know him back to front. I didn’t know what it was like to live with Robby. Robby is pretty spot on.

Rob: Thanks, man.

Jacob: Robby is good ‘cause he has everything in order, which is sick. Addzy just kinda goes unnoticed sometimes.

Rob: Addzy is a bit of a chiller, just happy sitting quiet for a while. But we’ve lived together before, so I knew that.

Addzy: Jacob and Jerome love sleeping, hard work in the morning. Robby is a workaholic and can not sit still for very long.

Rob: I think the biggest thing we have all learned is, ya can’t speak to anyone if they are hungry. When the hunger happens it’s just like, “stop everything, let’s eat,” and then we are happy again.

What is your favorite thing about this EP? Any favorite songs or lyrics?

Addam: My favorite thing about the EP is that it’s finally out. Been working on tracks for so long.

Jerome: Favorite song is “Bank Account,” easy.

Addam: Yep, “Bank Account” was so natural and straight away just felt good.

Jacob: We loved working with Eric Hudson on that track.

Rob: Yeah, Eric Hudson is such a talented dude, as soon as he walks in the room ya just feel that electricity.

What are you guys most excited about for the tour?

Rob: I’m really pumped to be supporting another band. We haven’t done a lot of that. Will be heaps of fun.

Women are constantly facing struggles in the corporate world. We make less money, we get fewer opportunities, and if we get the least bit assertive, we’re called bitches.

Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo!, has been called a bitch so many times she probably doesn’t even bat an eyelash anymore. But as of this morning, whiny men are doing worse than that — they’re actually suing her.

For what, you may ask? According to the lawsuit, these dudes are pretty sure Mayer led a “secret campaign” to eliminate all male employees from the company. Excuse us while we LOL.

The lawsuit was filed by lead crybaby Scott Ard, who worked as a media executive at Yahoo! for three and a half years before being fired by Mayer.

Ard complains that Mayer instilled an unheard of torture device otherwise known as an employee rating system.

“Mayer encouraged and fostered the use of (an employee performance-rating system) to accommodate management’s subjective biases and personal opinions, to the detriment of Yahoo’s male employees,” said the suit, according to Mercury News.

The suit also alleges that the number of women holding leadership roles at Yahoo! went from 20% to 80% in about 18 months.

“When Savitt began at Yahoo the top managers reporting to her…including the chief editors of the verticals and magazines, were less than 20 percent female,” says the lawsuit. “Within a year and a half those top managers were more than 80 percent female. Savitt has publicly expressed support for increasing the number of women in media and has intentionally hired and promoted women because of their gender, while terminating, demoting or laying off male employees because of their gender.”

According to Yahoo!’s numbers, women in leadership roles actually only increased 1%, but hey, tomato tomahto.

We’re not sure if this thought ever crossed Ard’s mind, but perhaps the reason that Mayer kept “unfairly” hiring more women is because women are better at their jobs? It’s not that crazy of a thought, especially considering that studies have found that women generally work harder and longer than men. Sure, this may be partly because they’ve constantly had to work harder to get the same jobs that men are easily hired for, but the facts remain.

Obviously, Yahoo! denies all allegations, but it’ll be interesting to see how this shapes out and if any more crybabies plaintiffs come out of the woodwork.

Meninists really need to chill the f out.

There are tons of fish in the sea. The only problem is that you haven’t found your fish, and your fish has to be perfect.

It’s not that you don’t date or hook up with dudes, it’s that you always feel like they’re missing something, you know? But it’s cool, because having high standards is always better than having no standards, even if it means you might be rolling solo dolo for a little bit. Either way, you can totally relate to having these thoughts.

1. Do They Make Heels For Dudes?

So you matched with a super hot and successful dude on Bumble and have a great date, but when it’s time to leave and he stands up, you realize he’s short af. Shit. I guess this is why dudes put their height in their Tinder bios?

2. He’s Almost Perfect

Your friends may think you’re crazy, but they just don’t understand how picky you really are. Sure, it might seem insane that you stopped dating Cam just because he didn’t like pepperoni, but that’s a fucking big deal to you. How else are you guys going to enjoy pizza in bed together if he doesn’t like fucking pepperoni?! You just aren’t the type of girl who goes for guys that eat plain cheese. Plus that probably means he’s boring, right?

3. Is It Too Late To Bail On My Date?

You push yourself to go out with guys, but then at the last minute you totally regret it. Maybe they send you a weird emoji (or any emoji at all really), maybe they suggest a restaurant that is so not your scene, or maybe you show up and realize that he’s wearing flip flops. Either way, you’re constantly asking your BFF to be on back-up in case you need someone to call you with an “emergency” during the date.

4. Am I Lying To My Friend About Her New Boo?

Okay, you would never, ever, ever date a guy like your roommate’s boyfriend. He’s skinny-fat, he wears Birkenstocks, and he’s never heard of Amber Rose. But obviously, you can’t tell her that. So when she introduces you to him and asks what you think afterwards, you say, “OMG! Love Tommy, he’s so cute and has such a fun style!” Meanwhile you’re mentally reminding yourself why you have standards.

5. Do Guys Not Know What High Standards Are?

Nothing is worse than a guy who can’t believe that you’re not into him. Like seriously, stop trying. While you appreciate his effort, he needs to realize that he’s just not your type… and you don’t date guys that work at the mall, sorry!

6. You Sometimes Wonder If You’re Too Picky

You’ve always prided yourself on being picky, but now that more and more of your friends are settling down in relationships, you wonder if you judge guys too quickly when you should’ve given them a chance. Is that why you’re alone while all your (lame) friends stay in Netflix and chilling with their baes that they met on Tinder?

7. But Then Realize It’s Cuz You Know What You Want

On second thought, there’s no such thing as being too picky. You just know what you want and you know your self worth, and you should pride yourself on that! You can’t force yourself to be into somebody, and if you do it’ll just end in a bad break-up. Besides, you’re focusing on you, not finding a bae.

Halloween is approaching quickly and we couldn’t be more excited. If you’re struggling to find the perfect costume, Galore has got you covered. Take a look at some of the best celeb costumes that you can totally recreate.

1. GIGI HADID AS SANDY FROM GREASE

Sporting an all leather getup and a head full of curls, Gigi Hadid looked hotter than ever as Sandy from Grease last Halloween. This look is super sexy and totally easy to recreate. All you need is a black crop top, some faux leather pants and a pair red heels and you’ll be looking as hot as Gigi.

2. RITA ORA AS BARBIE

Rita Ora went for a fun and girly look as Barbie in 2014. The British-native songstress wore an all pink ensemble completed with a sparkling tiara. You can easily copy this attire by purchasing a pink dress or skirt, pink heels, and a sparkly bag. If you’re looking to give this look a bit more of an edge, opt for a pink mini skirt and crop top.

3. PARIS HILTON AS MADONNA

Paris Hilton channelled her inner Madonna on Halloween in 2013. For those of you who are 80’s girls at heart, you can easily recreate this look with a white tube top, tulle skirt, and sheer knee highs. Accessorize the look with white stilettos and, of course, a huge bow.

4. ASHLEY TISDALE AS LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

Ashley Tisdale put a sexy spin on this classic storybook character back in 2014 and this costume is probably the easiest to make on your own. All you’ll need is a red mini dress/skirt, a pair of white knee highs and a pair of black heels. Top it off with a red cape and you’ll be the hottest Little Red around.

5. KYLIE JENNER AS A WARRIOR PRINCESS

Ok. So this one isn’t that easy to recreate on your own. But, it’s just too hot to pass up on. While you may not be able to get this exact look, there are plenty of Halloween stores that carry sexy warrior costumes just like Kylie’s.

6. KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN AS WONDER WOMAN

Kourtney Kardashian won the award for hottest mom EVER last Halloween in her Wonder Woman costume. While there are store bought costumes like this available, you can still look the part with everyday items like a tight red tank, blue shorts and white converse. The only thing you’d really need to buy is a gold belt and crown.

7. BEYONCE AS AN ANGEL

What else would the queen be? Beyonce took on the part of an angel on Halloween in 2013. For this look, all you’ll need is a white tank, shorts and a pair of white shoes. Complete your costume with a halo and a pair of wings from somewhere like Target or Party City.

8. BELLA THORNE AS A COW GIRL

Our summer covergirl Bella Thorne looked smoking hot as a cowgirl last Halloween. A crop top, mini skirt, and cowgirl boots and hat will easily match this look if you’re searching for a simple yet sexy costume.

9. PERRIE EDWARDS AS A CHEETAH

Perrie took the typical cat costume to a whole new level in 2015. However, for those of us who like to keep it simple, faux leather pants, a black crop top and cat ears will suffice for this year’s cheetah costume.

10. ARIANA GRANDE AS A SEXY SKELETON

Ariana had quite a few Halloween costumes in 2015 but our favorite has to be her rendition of a sexy skeleton. You can steal this look by wearing a black crop top, striped pants and a pair of long gloves. Finish it off by wearing dark red lips, a cool choker and drawing stitches along the side of your mouth in black eyeliner pencil or face paint.

11. Nicki Minaj as a F***ing Fairy Princess

Nicki Minaj never fails to make a statement and that’s just what she did last Halloween. Dressed in all sparkles and a tiara, Nicki claimed to be “a fking fairy princess” in an Instagram post and quite frankly, we fking love it.  You probably won’t be able to find her exact rhinestoned bodysuit, but you can easily replace it with any white, sparkled top. Pair it with a white tutu, tiara and wand and you’ll be looking fiercer than ever.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been dreaming of the day that baggy sweats were considered trendy since the first time I tried squeezing into a pair of skinny jeans.

Last week Hailey Baldwin wore a pair of ripped, baggy sweatpants to Paris fashion week and everyone went crazy. TBH, I was one of those people.

The 19-year-old model was spotted in a pair of oversized grey sweats featuring a gaping hole from the upper thigh to below the knee. She paired the look with a sheer grey turtle neck, embroidered leather jacket and white trainers and looked absolutely FAB.

Thanks to this major moment, it’s safe to say that shredded sweats are officially stamped for approval and we are REALLY excited. If you’re like us and ready to jump on this trend ASAP, we’ve provided a few options on where you too can nab a pair for yourself. Take a look at some of our favorites below.

If you’re ready to rock the sweatpants look but aren’t as bold as Hailey, try these Boohoo rip knee joggers from ASOS. Like Hailey’s pants, there is a significant hole in the knee area but on a much more subdued level. Throw on a graphic tee and a pair of trainers and you’ll manage to look super cute but feel like you’re wearing a pair of pajamas.

These Sayde pants from Revolve give us serious Yeezy vibes. The army colored sweats feature scattered holes along the legs and are made of super soft cotton to keep you comfier than ever. There is also a matching sweatshirt available if you’re looking to make the ensemble appear a bit more put together.

ASOS carries these Missguided white joggers and they are definitely the trendiest sweats you’ll ever find. They feature a few minimal holes along the front and back of the pant legs and have a super relaxed fit. All you need is a crop top and a pair of cute sneakers and you’ll be good to go.

Who needs distressed jeans when you can look equally fab in distressed sweatpants? These Pam & Gela grey bottoms are definitely a must have addition to your wardrobe. The loose fit and frayed holes give an edgy feel and you can wear them in a variety different ways. Whether you roll them up for a boyfriend style look or wear them as is, you’ll look hot and feel great.

For you girlier girls out there, these distressed Missguided joggers  from ASOS are perfect. The nude coloring and slim fit provide a bit more of a feminine feel to the ripped sweats look. Plus, they’re super affordable. How can you go wrong with that?

Welcome to Galore horoscopes, where we’ll advise you on whether to expect drama, chill vibes, hot sex, or all of the above over the coming week.

Peep your sign’s seven-day forecast, starting Monday and ending the following Sunday, below. Pro tip: instead of your sun sign, make sure to read your rising sign as it’s far more accurate.

ARIES

Reach for the stars, Aries! This week’s potent full moon falls in your sign, bringing a supreme positive energy that will make you feel ultra fulfilled.

Full moons happen when the sun, our conscious self, is exactly opposite the moon, the unconscious. Full moons are so powerful because the sun’s light brings out the dark and vice versa. Full moons bring endings as well as beginnings.

Opportunities should be coming to you easily this week. A situation related to your work and career might be reaching its boiling point now. It’s been a long buildup. Are you ready?

TAURUS 

The fiery Aries full moon this week will be taking place in your 12^th house of the unconscious. You might get very passive aggressive during this stormy lunar phase. Try not to indulge in alcohol or drugs during the Aries full moon. We know you can handle your drinks, but you’ll be much more sensitive to substances with the current lunar energy. Try and do something creative instead, as you might discover hidden talents.

GEMINI

Aries is the zodiac’s boldest sign, so when a full moon falls in Aries it hits your social 11th house. Lucky Jupiter is currently in your 5th house of fun, pleasure, and true love. You might be gaining some money through a creative project or lover. The 11th house is also known as the house of dreams and goals. The fiery Arian lunar energy might urge you to take big risks, to go after what your heart desires.

It is important to communicate your desires with your closest peers. If everybody is aware of what you want, it is easier for them to support you fully. Still single? Love may enter your life now! It will most probably be somebody hot blooded and direct! HOT!

CANCER

This weekend you will have a potent full moon in Aries, your career & reputation sector. HOLLA! This might be your big break! You’re not only shining bright like a diamond, career wise but as well have fortunate Jupiter in your 4th house of home, meaning your home base is secure and enriching as well! Your love life should be sweet too, since you are having such a magnetic aura, and there are plenty of admirers, just waiting for you to choose. Damn, Cancer!

LEO

Aries is the sign associated with passion and fire. With this week’s Aries full moon hitting your expansive and exotic 9th house, you may be taking a little weekend trip, but I feel like what you really would want to do, is to escape to a tropical island far, far away. Why not? Go for it, if work or school allows you to take some time off. Try to sign up for some meditation as well, since the 9th house is associated with higher forms of spirituality. There could also be a big finale concerning your job or education. Have faith in the bigger picture of life!

VIRGO

With the full moon hitting your financial sector and house of other people’s money, you may have finally paid most of your debts and put an end to your financial mistakes, so you can start fresh and save up funds for the future. With lucky Jupiter still touring through your 2^nd house of income and money until next year, there are pretty good chances you will find a great income source or new creative idea that will make you many $$$. Seize the opportunities!

Intimacy wise you feel like you reached a new level of confidence. Imperfection is perfection.

LIBRA

There is a full moon falling into your partnership sector! You and your partner might take it a step further now or a relationship could also come to an end. Either way, no reason to get worried. The Aries full moon is one of the good ones. Sometimes we have to be honest with each other and understand that we cannot escape a fight.

Even if it doesn’t feel good at first, whatever happens will have a positive outcome. Lucky Jupiter is on your side this year. Look forward to a magnificent week. May your wildest dreams come true!

SCORPIO

You have been working very hard and it could be that with the Aries full moon in your 6^th house of health, jobs, and daily routines, finally, a project might come to an end.

Your nervous system may feel a little overloaded, though. Watch out for headaches or even head injuries.

It’s been such a busy month for you and work projects just keep coming your way, but it’s overwhelming.

So take care of your health right now, I know it’s hard since you keep working late and have so much on your plate. No doubt you went through a period of stress but careful with drugs and drinking during this lunar phase. Make sure you eat a healthy diet, please.

SAGITTARIUS

Sag, you sexy beast, you have an intense but lucky and fun filled week coming up, thanks to the full moon in Aries! The sign Aries has the same element as you, fire, and urges you to take risks in your romantic life. A creative project might come to fruition now. It could be a creative project that will help you make money. Remember lucky Jupiter is still touring your 11^th house of friends and our biggest dreams. Plus you have Jupiter as your ruling planet, since birth. What a banging week!

CAPRICORN

Having Pluto and Mars in your first house now for a while, there might have been some issues happening to you personally. These issues, though, might have transformed you into a better version of yourself!

Pluto is the planet of darkness and transformation & Mars is fire and wants it now. You see, this is a deadly combo. Don’t forget that you have Saturn as your ruling planet. Saturn is the planet that teaches many life lessons. Saturn uses tough love, so you are used to reality.

On the weekend a full moon will be taking place in your 4th house of home and family, but things should get a little smoother now. It could get a little intense. It’s been a big year of change for you and many Capricorns have finally stopped trying to suck up other people’s unnecessary bullsh*t. It could also be very likely now, that you update your residential situation.

AQUARIUS

Let’s hope you’re not an only child. There is a rad full moon happening in Aries, your 3rd house of communication and siblings. On the weekend you might be receiving marvelous news from your sis or bro. Sweet.

If you happen to work in advertising or the media, a project could be reaching its peak now. The Aries moon is a very fiery one and is filled with surprises. When the full moon hits your 3rd house, which is also associated with short distance travel, it could happen, that you’ll leave town for the weekend. Enjoy!

PISCES

With the dynamic Aries full moon falling in your 2nd house of money and income, the main topic for you will be money. You are a very spiritual sign and sometimes you feel bad when money consumes your mind.

You might hunt down the people that still owe you money. Hey, we all work hard for our money. Sometimes you are too nice and forgiving. Make sure to get back what is yours. Don’t let people use you.
