What the British Royal Family Teaches Us About Birth Order
Princess Charlotte is about to go from the baby of the family to the one in the middle. At only two years old, the adorable princess will maintain her place as fourth in line to the British throne, but she may find herself with an undefined role within her immediate family. Middle children have less of a clear identity, says Catherine Salmon, author of The Secret Power of Middle Children and professor of psychology at University of Redlands. This can be a good thing, according to Salmon, since it helps middle children take risks in life and set their own, independent paths. If that norm holds true, we might expect some surprises from Charlotte as she grows up.
We can observe a lot about how birth order shapes our personalities straight from the British royal family. After all, birth order matters more to royals than any other family in the world, since it strictly determines the order of who will inherit the crown. Of course, every family can be different — and gender and age differences also play a big role in personalities — but with the help of Salmon’s expertise, let’s take a look at famous firstborns, second children, middle children, and babies from Queen Elizabeth’s family and see what we can learn.
Your Fall Fitness Plan
Hi friends! How are you? Hope that you’re having an amazing day! Sorry for disappearing on you yesterday. When I sat down to write my normal post, I had nothing for ya. Usually I feel like I have SO much to say and create and not enough time/manpower to do all of the things I want to do, so it’s rare to sit down and be completely stumped. I gave my brain a break, caught up on major chores, enjoyed some Grey’s Anatomy –I’m almost caught up for when it returns next week!- and today, I was able to put this beefy post together for ya.
Today is the first official day of fall!! It’s such a great time to turn over a new leaf, adjust your fitness plan, and set/assess goals as we head towards the end of the year. The last few months are filled with so much joy… but also events, stress, and changes. With the impending holiday season, it can be even more important to take time for your health and wellness, even though it’s more challenging.
Just like last year, I put together a full fall fitness plan for you! This is a mix of strength, cardio, and rest, and as always, you can shuffle it around to fit your unique needs and schedule. As always, check with a doctor before making any fitness changes and honor your body.
If you’re following along the barre bootcamp (wahoo!!), you can head into this plan when we finish up! Of course I’ll be posting lots of workouts in the meantime (and finally getting back into updating my YouTube channel and doing IG live workouts!). Then before we know it, Winter Shape Up will be here again.
Here’s what the weekly plan looks like:
Sunday: OFF
Monday: HIIT + Core
Tuesday: Easy steady state (for this one, you’ll do 30-45 minutes of easy steady state cardio. Keep your heart rate in the same range for the workout, and pick something you enjoy, like walking, running, dancing, kickboxing or spinning)

Wednesday: Total body strength + sweat
Thursday: OFF
Friday: Upper body blast + quick cardio
Saturday: Lower body burn + Hills
HIIT + Core workout:
This workout combines HIIT training with some of my favorite core moves. Here is the standing core exercise how-to, and remember that you can always keep it low-impact by eliminating the jump of the movement. Keep one foot on the floor at all times if you need to. To modify the planks, you can do these against a wall, or on the floor on your knees. Make sure to keep your hips down and in line with your torso.
Total body strength + sweat
This is a total body workout with some HIIT intervals mixed in. Remember that you can keep it low-impact and can modify the push-ups by completing these on your knees, or against the wall. Try to do more push-ups in each round!
Upper body blast + quick cardio
This workout includes some challenging and intense upper body moves. Try to go heavy on the weights, so you really have to push yourself to finish the last couple of reps. (Make sure that even though you’re challenging yourself, you’re still using proper form. If you don’t have access to battle ropes, no worries. You can do push-ups or medicine ball slams instead.
Lower body burn + hills
This is another one that I want you to challenge yourself with the weights! If you’re used to doing these moves, try adding a resistance band loop, or holding a heavy plate or dumbbell. If the single leg squats are too intense, try lighter single leg presses on the leg press machine. If you don’t have a TRX, try the hamstring curls with your feet on a stability ball.
So friends, I’d love to hear your personal and fitness goals are we head into fall!
Here are mine:
Fitness: Be back to my strength training fitness by the end of the year. I’m still lifting light weights and working on building up my cardio endurance. I CAN’T WAIT to practice yoga again.
Personal: Bring back the meditation practice. I got way too anxious leading up to my surgery, and stopping meditating cold turkey. (It’s silly that I would stop the thing that brings me so much peace and HELPS with anxiety. I know, I make no sense.) Anyway, I’m bringing it back because as the season gets busier, I know I’m going to need it.
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see ya in the am.

No, but Really, Find Yourself Someone Who Looks at You Like Jennifer Lopez Looks at ARod
If you want to see what the look of love truly looks like, just take a peek at these photos of Jennifer Lopez longingly staring at boyfriend Alex Rodriguez. The two have been dating for about eight months now, and the honeymoon phase looks to still be alive and well. The hot couple stepped out for NBC’s World of Dance celebration in LA on Tuesday night, and when Jennifer wasn’t posing by herself and showing off her killer curves, she was glowing at the sight of her dapper man by her side.
In a recent interview with Hola! USA, Jennifer revealed this period in her life is her golden era. “This is the first relationship I’ve been where I feel like we really make each other better. We complement each other, and there’s really pure, true love. Just wanting to support the other person and make them happy,” she said. Well, we’ll say that’s pretty obvious.

16 People Who Are Just Now Finding Out That Fenty Is Rihanna's Last Name
The recent launch of Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line has people freaking out for many reasons: the foundation shades are on point, the lip colors are universal, and it’s all cruelty-free! But another fact about the brand has fans up in arms, too. Some folks are in utter disbelief upon learning that “Fenty” isn’t just a made-up word that Rihanna chose for her products — it’s actually just her last name. Yes, just like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior before her, Rihanna is using her surname for business purposes and positioning herself as a fashion and beauty bigwig with both Fenty Beauty and her ongoing Fenty x Puma collections.
Let’s be clear: most Rihanna fans and people with internet access have long known about Fenty being Rihanna’s last name, but here’s another fact we’ll throw out there just for fun: RIHANNA ISN’T HER REAL FIRST NAME. The singer was actually born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and the rest is #blackgirlmagic history.

Every Important Detail Nikki Bella and John Cena Have Shared About Their Upcoming Wedding
John Cena and Nikki Bella got engaged in front of thousands of fans at Wrestlemania 33 in April, and we can’t wait for them to tie the knot. John recently told POPSUGAR that he wants their nuptials to “be a special day,” but he “doesn’t want to rush into it.” While the pair still isn’t sure if they’re going to televise their wedding, here’s everything we know so far about their big day.
The Engagement Ring
John famously popped the question to Nikki at Wrestlemania 33 with a massive 4.5-carat Tiffany & Co. diamond ring. “The ring represents our entire relationship up until this point,” John explained on Nikki’s YouTube channel. “As with everything that we do for each other, there’s always meaning behind it.”
The Date
Nikki and John have set a date, but they are keeping it a secret for now.
The Theme
In April, Nikki told ET that the nuptials will be black tie. “I want [a] medium [wedding]. I envision, like, 150 people, ’cause I still want to keep it very private and intimate, and my side of the family makes it like 150,” Nikki said. “I want black tie. I just love the elegance of black tie, and depending on what season we get married, [there] will be florals. I’m going to have a lot of florals, so I don’t know how much they’ll cost, but I hear they cost a lot. But I don’t care. I want it to be drenched with flowers.”
The Dress
Nikki found her wedding gown during Bridal Fashion Week in NYC back in April. “I attended Marchesa and when I looked at that line, she got me when they handed me a glass of Perrier Jouet and a macaroon. I was like, ‘OK, yes.’ And then I saw this dress and I was like, ‘That’s Princess Grace Kelly.’ Like that is what I want so bad,” she told E! News. “All the girls warned me, ‘Just so you know, like even though you love it sometimes when you try something on it doesn’t work.’ I put it on and I was like this is the one.”
The Bridal Party
Nikki’s twin sister, Brie, and one of her cousins will serve as Nikki’s maids of honor. “We’ve always had a pact since we were little girls [that] we [would be] each other’s maid of honors, and so, in her wedding and Brie’s wedding, we were both made of honors,” Nikki explained to
ET. “So, for sure, I [will] have them two, and now I’m just debating if I add to that or not.”
The Honeymoon
While John and Nikki have yet to decide on a destination, Nikki wants their honeymoon to last at least a week. “It’s hard with our schedules, ’cause I want John and I to be able to enjoy it for a week,” she said to ET. “I’ve been Googling top honeymoon spots. I’m like, ‘Hmm, where do I want to go now that he’ll go past four hours on a plane?”
