Meghan Markle Made This Surprising New Year’s Resolution Right Before She Met Prince Harry

If you’re looking for inspiration ahead of the New Year, Meghan Markle’s New Year’s resolution before meeting Prince Harry might be the sign you’ve been waiting for. It’s crazy to think that less than six months after she made this New Year’s pledge, she met her future husband and began her path to becoming the Duchess of Sussex! But what, exactly, did she resolve to do? Don’t worry, hopefuls—it’s a great resolution for anyone, royal or otherwise.

Before she became a member of the royal family, Meghan ran her own lifestyle blog—the now-defunct site, The Tig. According to People, the Suits actress shared a post on New Year’s Day in 2016 about her running list of resolutions. Each year, she made the same resolutions to stop swearing, to stop biting her nails, to re-learn French, and run a marathon. This year, however, she decided to turn a new leaf.

“These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year,” Meghan wrote at the time, referring to her four resolutions. “The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple drinks. And when it comes to the biting of the nails—well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day. It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.”

In 2016, however, Meghan resolved to stop pursuing these goals altogether. “For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully,” she began. “To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher.”

She went on to reveal her only resolution: “My New Year’s resolution is to leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change. To let the magic know that there is an open door policy with me in 2016 and that it is always welcome to join the party.” Meghan closed out her post by inviting her readers “to do the same,” wishing them a “‘beautiful, blissful, and incredibly magical 2016.”

Clearly, leaving “room for magic” worked out well for her. That year, she met her future husband, Prince Harry, on a blind date—and a year later, the pair were engaged. Now, Meghan and Harry are married and living with their 19-month-old son, Archie, in Montecito, California.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
