There’s this belief in my friend group that, to get fuller-looking lips in photos and IRL, you have to position your lips the same way they’d be if you said “prune” out loud. According to one gal pal who heard it from another and so on, this is what the Olsen twins do when they’re being photographed by the paparazzi. Do I believe this? No. Is it hilarious to watch my friends say “prune” when they take photos? Absolutely, yes.

I’m here to tell them and to tell you that there’s a way to avoid having to repeat the name of a fruit? (genuinely no idea what a prune is) in order to get the pout of your dreams. Heck, you don’t even have to leave your seat to get it. There’s this lip-plumping gloss from Grande Cosmetics—you might have heard of their customer-loved eyelash serum—that shoppers say is the best on the market. And, today only, you can shop it for under $20.

It’s all thanks to this under-the-radar beauty sale that Amazon’s having RN. If you head over to the Holiday Beauty Haul storefront, you’ll see pages upon pages of sales on beloved products, like the TruSkin Vitamin C Serum that’s a shockingly affective SkinCeuticals dupe.

Back to why we’re here: The GrandeLip clear gloss is something reviewers swear you need in your beauty routine, and today the $27 essential is on sale for 30% off and is just under $19. A sale this good usually only comes around on Prime Day or closer to the holidays, so we’re advising you take advantage while it lasts.

According to shoppers, this plumper works in minutes to make your lips appear fuller. You can use it as a stand-alone gloss or work it into your typical beauty routine with no issue. It’s so loved, reviewers have gone so far as saying it’s responsible for creating “the perfect pout.”

“It plumps up my lips a bit and makes them look 100x better than without,” wrote one five-star reviewer who uses it as a base coat twice daily. “My lipstick goes on much better. I apply it before I put on makeup in the morning, and I put it on well over the edges to blur the outline of my lips—as I’ve gotten older they look worse and this corrects it.”

This is something ideal to have on hand whenever you need a little pick-me-up. Put it on before a date, girl’s night out, wedding, etc. It’ll give you that little boost of confidence you might need to feel the way you deserve: like a bombshell.

Plus, the brand says it can lead to fuller long-term affects as well as quick plumping moments. A consumer study showed that when shoppers used it two to three times a day for a month, they saw “an increase in overall lip volume.” No wonder reviewers have called it a great alternative to cosmetic procedures.

“I have to say it does make a noticeable difference to me in how plump my lips are after using it,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “I have been considering lip fillers recently just to slightly plump my lips up—not too much—if that’s you, or you just want a nice full lip look, then I say try this out, honey.”

Now, on the count of three, everybody don’t say prune!

Do
you realize your balance is declining, but feel lost on where to start
improving it? Notice that your mobility isn’t what it used to be, but not sure
how to take the first step to make it better?

We all get a little lost sometimes, especially when it comes to our health as we age. As a physical therapist, my job is to break things down into the smallest possible pieces to help someone gain movement confidence. Taking small steps gets the ball rolling and banishes overwhelm.

Just remember, all it takes is just one step every day in the right direction. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start with the list below as a guide.

Start Small and Safe

The
best place to start to build balance
and movement confidence is to break things down into smaller
parts, perform a lot of repetitions, and set yourself up in a safe environment.

A
great place to start is to write a list of all the movements you don’t feel
confident doing. For example, for many people standing on one foot without
holding onto anything would be at the top of the list.

Then
pick one activity from your list to start with and break it down into smaller
parts. In our example, the first step to standing confidently on one leg would
be to shift your weight toward one side while keeping both feet on the ground.

Continue
to practice this simple movement. Keep a chair positioned behind you in case
you need it and stand in front of something sturdy, like your kitchen
countertop, for arm support.

By
practicing small movements like this, you train your brain for movement
success. In this early stage, repetition and safety are key.

Find a Movement Buddy for Guidance

In
my practice, I meet many clients who are afraid to ask people in their life for
guidance. It’s okay to tell someone you don’t know where to start and ask for input.

If
you’re afraid to start on your own or need accountability, find someone to
practice with you or join a local group class. Make sure you’re surrounded with
people you feel safe to ask for advice and who will build you up.

Schedule a Few Sessions with a Physical Therapist to Get Started

If
you really aren’t sure where to start or the above steps haven’t helped, seek
the services of a physical therapist. Therapists are trained in helping people
become less overwhelmed in improving their movement.

They
can take you through baseline
balance and mobility
testing so you know where you’re starting from. This will also
help you monitor your progress over time. A therapist will coach you through
the appropriate progression of exercises, which can help you further build your
movement confidence.

Slowly Challenge Yourself as You Build Confidence

Once
you start gaining some momentum and confidence, add small challenges through
variety. The more variety you expose your mind and body to, the better you’ll
age.

Once
you’ve mastered standing on one foot on level surface, find a different surface
to try. Or practice with your eyes closed. Set up obstacle courses for
yourself. The possibilities are endless.

Then
continue to make an effort to challenge yourself in small ways each and every
day.

Go at Your Own Pace and Be Kind to Yourself

Above
all else, just remember that everyone has to start somewhere. It’s never too
late to start to improve your balance and movement, so you might as well get
started today. Be kind and gentle with yourself and listen to what your body is
telling you.

How
much movement do you have in a day? Is it intentional? Do you feel overwhelmed
by the thought of starting to move more? Which movement do you find hardest? Can
you think of ways to break it down in smaller parts? Please share your thoughts
with our community and let’s have a discussion.

There’s nothing in the world that means more to us than a quality TikTok find. Just this past month alone, users have inspired us to buy a shockingly affordable (and effective) pack of camel toe-preventing thongs and a wrinkle-erasing eye gel—then its dupes because, of course, it sold out. Now, we’re running to the virtual shopping aisle of Juno & Co to buy its $15 cleansing balm, because we’ve simply seen too many rave reviews not to.

It all started when @rogerwh0 posted a video using the balm all the way back in March. In in, you see just how effective the milky gel can be at removing makeup and sunscreen.

“As someone with combo oily skin, I love how the Clean 10 balm breaks down excess oils and impurities without leaving a greasy feel or stripping the skin,” they said. Months later, the brands hashtag has over 118 million views—the majority of which are for reviews of this product.

In the minute-long video, you can watch as the beauty guru gently rubs the cleanser in her hands before applying it to her made-up face. As she places pressure on her face, her eye shadow, mascara, and foundation literally drip off her skin. It’s strangely satisfying to watch, tbh.

“It’s actually melting off?” she said of her makeup. “What the heck, I was not expecting this!”

This melting effect is all thanks to the oil-based cleanser’s 10 ingredients, which include vitamin-rich Japanese Barley Magic, Vitamin E, and orange peel oil. Per the brand, these enriching ingredients combine to brighten skin, reduce dark spots, and cleanse without stripping away any essential natural oils from your face.

Don’t let the idea of an oil-based cleanser scare you, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. A general rule of thumb in the skincare industry is that the dryer your skin is, the thicker the oil it’ll produce. So, when you cleanse it with oils and hydration, it will produce less of this acne-causing oil.

“It’s the best cleansing balm on the market,” wrote one reviewer. “I always had a hard time taking my makeup off but this is like butter”
