The Super Bowl is always a momentous day—whether you’re just there to catch these  Super Bowl 2020 commercials  or fully dedicated to posting up at your local sports bar. But this year’s Super Bowl is a little more historic than others, thanks to one person: Katie Sowers, the very first woman and openly gay person to ever coach the event. The 33-year-old San Francisco 49ers assistant coach is taking Super Bowl LIV by storm. After her team swept the Green Bay Packers for the NFC Championship, Sowers knew the moment was “Unreal,” not only for the win but for what it means for her, too. She’s just the second woman to hold a full-time coaching position in the NFL altogether, but no woman before her has taken their team to the Super Bowl. Add this to the fact that Sowers is the first openly LGBTQ+ coach—man, woman, or otherwise—to make it to the big night, and her success appears doubly historic. Yet Sowers isn’t crazy interested in tooting her own horn as far as these historic markers g

It’s been a big week for the “Anyone” singer. First, she takes to the Grammys stage, and now, Demi Lovato’s “beautiful” coming out story is being shared with the world. It’s not actually the first time Demi, 27, has opened up about her sexuality. Back in 2018, the songstress confirmed that she’s sexually “fluid,” and is open to dating anyone. “I’m very fluid, and I think love is love,” she told E! News, “You can find it in any gender.” But being so open about her preferences wasn’t always the case for Demi. In fact, it’s only been around three years since the artist came out to her own parents. On this week’s Radio Andy  SiriusXM show, Demi revealed that she didn’t “officially” tell her parents that she could be “ending up possibly with a woman, too, until 2017.” It was the first time Demi verbalized this to her family—and even though she “came out,” she also admits she’s in the process of “still figuring it out” in terms of her sexuality. And much like her recovery from her battles

There is a not-so-short list of events in my life that, when I think back on them, I don’t think of the way I felt during them or the special people I shared the moments with, but instead I think about my body. This isn’t because I remember exactly how much I weighed then or what workout plan or diet I was doing during each and every party or special occasion. In fact, I can’t remember most of those details at all. The details I do remember, though, are tied up a bigger feeling — the main feeling that comes back to me when I think about these events: I experienced all those moments thinking I should have been thinner. I had these thoughts when I was 10, 15, and 20 years old. I had them long before I ever wore plus size clothing, and sometimes I still have them today, at almost 27 years old, despite the fact that I’ve done years of self-work when it comes to confidence and self-acceptance. Nowadays, though, this is mostly due to the fact that I’m getting married soon.  In less than

When you name your album Changes , well, it means some new additions are in order. Justin Bieber’s new neck tattoo has a meaning that’s definitely tied to his latest work—after all, the 25-year-old pop star hasn’t stopped talking about how significant his forthcoming fifth studio album is. Set to release on Valentine’s Day this year, Changes  is all about the struggles he’s faced, and his swift return to pop. It only makes sense he’d get some fresh ink now to commemorate that. Still, Justin surprised us all when he was spotted leaving the gym on Jan. 30, sporting what looked like a brand-new tattoo at the base of his neck. While photographers managed to grab a few flicks, fans weren’t exactly sure of what Justin’s new body ink looked like. Well, the “ Yummy ” singer headed to Instagram later that day to confirm the suspicions—a photo posted to his Instagram Stories proved he did get a new tattoo. And it’s actually pretty symbolic. Located at the base of his neck and right above his

Hey, we’re only human. Whatever your zodiac sign, bad habits come for us all, similar to death and taxes (unless you are super wealthy, in which case: congrats!). I know most people set new year’s resolutions as a way to confront and counter their vices and shortcomings, and later give up on them entirely. I feel that. Long-term planning can only be so wise, before reality sets in and we all just want to melt into flatness on our preferred comfortable furniture. But hey—it’s a new year, a new decade , and I have officially finished my first ever start-to-finish Chapstick at the ripe and nubile age of 27. I’m locked and loaded for 2020, babies. Regardless of how you feel about your sign’s worst habits, I think we can all agree that are some small, meaningful changes we could partake in to make our lives more joyful. I think it’s funny that as a general rule—humans hate rules. We bristle up like steel wool the minute we feel that our liberties or choices are limited by some omniscient

In my apartment, the Super Bowl is regarded as the biggest holiday of the year. Not because my roommates and I are particularly keen on football, but because we’re particularly keen on Super Bowl snacks . If I were to list my passions, Super Bowl food would be among them—mostly because it’s an excuse to eat all the cheese, carbs and red meat I can get my hands on. One of the first things I did when I became a Real Adult (you know, the kind who no longer lives at home or in a college dorm) was host a Super Bowl party . It was small, but it expanded year after year. My annual Super Bowl party is now in its fourth iteration, and I’ve gained a deep understanding of what it takes to craft a truly perfect Super Bowl menu . I know which Super Bowl snacks are a must, and which are worth foregoing. I can sense when the menu is skewing too cheese-heavy, too red meat-heavy, too carb-heavy—and I can correct for each of those extremes. I know which dishes to make ahead, which to pop in the oven d
