A post shared by Bahia (@tenente_bahia87) on Sep 15, 2019 at 10:12pm PDT The Sun reports: At first her family thought she was suffering from anxiety due to wedding nerves after she complained of feeling dizzy with pains in her neck. Because of this the entourage was running late and they were unaware the victim was suffering from the pre-eclampsia which would shortly rob her of her young life and motherhood. The groom, former firefighter Flavio Gonçalvez, reportedly rushed to his bride’s side and started first aid before emergency personnel arrived — but it was too late. Doctors performed an emergency C-Section on Guedes when she arrived at the hospital, and the couple’s baby girl Sophia survived. Jessica was pronounced dead shortly after. Baby Sophia, who was born prematurely, is expected to remain at the hospital for about three months. Prayers up for the Goncalves family.
Source: katleho Seisa / Getty When it comes to self-care and beauty routines, one of the most underserved (and under-discussed) beauty areas is our underarms. Nevertheless, we come in contact with them every day from washing to applying our deodorants or anti-perspirants. I had the opportunity to speak with Dove Dermatologist Dr. Alicia Barba to help debunk one of the biggest misconceptions occurring in the beauty and medical world surrounding anti-perspirants. Personally, I started using natural deodorant because I didn’t want to pour any toxins into my body or prevent my body from sweating. I feel like sweating is normal and releasing toxins need to happen. I had hopes but it left me funky and continuously worrying if I was giving off an odor. When you use an anti-perspirant, it prevents your body from sweating. Dr. Barba explained, “Antiperspirants have a clinically active ingredient: aluminum chloride slats. Basically what it does is form a little plug on the pore where the sweat gland drains into. It forms a plug so you don’t have sweat on the surface of the underarm. When you don’t have sweat, then bacteria doesn’t grow.” When bacteria doesn’t grow, then you don’t have that unfavorable odor. Nevertheless, I was worried about cancer. I had heard multiple rumors surrounding breast cancer and anti-perspirants. Dr. Barba educated, “Anti-perspirants have never been proven to cause cancer. They are regulated as an over the counter drug. The FDA regulates these products. It’s not like we can just put whatever in an anti-perspirant. It’s been studied thoroughly and has never been linked.” However, if you are like me, I feel your body is supposed to sweat. If you want this, then just use a deodorant. Dr. Barba explained, “If you don’t have a problem with smell, you can get away with a deodorant.” A deodorant will just leave you fresh smelling but allow your body to sweat. If you’re also like me and despite what the FDA says, still worried about aluminum, you can get a deodorant with 0% aluminum ($5.99, target.com ). There are tons of great smelling anti-perspirants like Dove Dry Spray Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant in Apple and White Tea ($5.58. walmart.com ) – the apple scent is great for Fall! This option is also great for people who sweat profusely and want to minimize this in an over the counter manner. What do you prefer? Do you use anti-perspirants or deodorants? Why or Why not?

The master stylist and colorist has been in the industry for over 25 years and is a hair miracle worker, taking women whose hair has been damaged and edges reduced do to years of bad weaves, poor hair maintenance, alopecia and more. It’s no surprise the singer, who has beautiful hair that cascades down her back, trusted Collins for her big chop. Short hair has been trending and TWA’s and cropped cuts were spotted all over the NYFW runway. Jasmine Collins posted an Image to Instagram on Wednesday stating, “We all know who this beauty chocolate soul is @tweet_ and yes she wanted to cut it off.” The two collaborated on a look with the singer wanting something would be easy to maintain. Collins stated via Instagram, “She wanted a easy haircut so we relaxed the sides and kept the crown natural.” Beauties, have you ever partially relaxed your hair? While we’ve heard of extremes like people relaxing their edges, relaxing parts of your hair to maintain specific looks is nothing new. Many women who wear weaves will relax only the leave out part.

Source: #ScoopStyle x Walmart / Courtesy of Walmart Fashionistas everywhere were devastated when New York brand ‘Scoop’ closed it’s doors. The iconic brand was beloved by celebrities and their boutiques were known for housing up and coming brands. Well, Scoop is back and re-entering the market in an interesting way. The brand is partnering with Walmart for their relaunch and will now be able to reach a larger audience with their affordable prices. The boutique turned brand has launched a 100-piece private label collection with Walmart where everything is affordable. A graphic t-shirt will run you about $15.00 while the collection tops out at a teddy bear coat running you $65.00. Via press release, Walmart’s Head of Fashion, Denise Incandela, stated, “I’m thrilled to announce we’re helping customers build ‘The Ultimate Closet’ with the exclusive relaunch of Scoop as Walmart’s private brand for fashion-forward customers.” Walmart worked closely with Scoop founder Stefani Greenfield and the collection is forward thinking. There are elements like being animal friendly by incorporating certified vegan leather and faux fur. There are on trend elements like animal print and camouflage and they even knocked off the Jacquemus Le Chiquiti Bag, creating affordable and acccessible fashion. The collection has clothing that will be great to add to your work wardrobe as well as your after 5 wardrobe but the accessories are personally what stood out to me. I attended the launch event for the brand and had the opportunity to see an array of influencers wearing the brand. Unfortunately, there were not any plus size women wearing the clothes, which to me was a major miss. I’d love to see how these clothes look on plus size women, especially since according to Plunkett Research , 68% percent of American women wear a size 14 or above. With over a 100 pieces of clothing being a lot to sift through, I’ve rounded up my top picks from the collection. Keep clicking to check them out!

On Tuesday, a teaser for The Real Housewives of Orange County showed Shannon Beador complaining of head pain after a prank by Kelly Dodd. It turns out that the prank may have had lasting consequences for both women: For her part, Shannon races to the hospital after experiencing lasting head pain and blurred vision in the aftermath of the incident. And Kelly? She may just get charged with assault. We have to start, of course, with Shannon’s health. As the real housewives headed for their stay in Arizona, Shannon was very intent upon this being a peaceful healing retreat. Wishful thinking. In the meantime, Kelly spent the whole time making jokes about sex and dongs. Seriously, before they even arrived, she was all about it. Viewers were treated to Shannon asking Kelly what she wanted to work on healing (you know, like “trust” or “self-love” or whatever). Kelly replied that she had been on the receiving end of some satisfyingly vigorous sex, and therefore needed her genitals healed. Shannon found this pretty annoying, while Kelly felt that she was being way too serious about what is, after all, a reality show stunt. The reality TV twosome went to do a sound bath, which is sort of a ritual for both healing and one’s own aspirations. Unfortunately, Kelly was a bit ambitious for Shannon’s tastes. When it came time to express their hopes, Kelly said that she wanted her sparkling water business to do well. “We are at a place of healing, and I feel as though Kelly’s making a mockery of it,” Shannon complained to the camera. “Yeah, we all want success in our business,” she acknowledged. “But how superficial is that? Don’t mock the process.” You don’t have to believe that a ritual will work in order to at least be respectful if you’re going to participate, you know? Things got worse when the women were asked if they wanted to “stand in a motherbowl to clear your energy field and expand your aura.” Shannon volunteered. She seemed really dedicated to healing, and she has a lot of stress from which to recover. As you might have guessed by now, Kelly wasn’t feeling the same way … and that’s when things got terrible. She decided to play an unfortunate prank on Shannon. Using a short and decorated stick, Kelly decided to give the metal bowl adorned on Shannon’s head a good whack. At first, Shannon thought it was part of the ritual. Soon, however, Shannon was complaining that part of the ritual hurt, which is when Tamra revealed Kelly’s action. Shannon was aghast, and continued to complain of having a headache from her unexpected stint as a human gong. Shannon Beador: Did Kelly Dodd Give Her a CONCUSSION?! As we discussed when we first saw the clip (above), Shannon pointed out that pranks, however well-intentioned, should never get physical. To her credit, Kelly truly didn’t believe that she had drilled Beador in the noggin anywhere close to hard enough to cause any discomfort. She even offered Shannon the opportunity to retaliate, which Shannon declined. But as Shannon’s fears mounted that her headache could be a sign of something worse, she and Tamra departed. It’s always better to be safe than sorry (if you have the means to not only have health insurance, but use it) In the mean time, Emily and Kelly were astonished when they received a call informing them that Shannon was headed to urgent care. Braunwyn diplomatically suggested that they not mock this move until they find out that Shannon is truly okay. And at urgent care, an off-camera nurse asks Shannon if she wants to press assault charges against Kelly. The suspense is killing us, but that’s why they left us hanging until next week. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14 Trailer: “I’m Not a F-cking Whore!” You might think that a whack over the head from a mallet would elicit a response of universal sympathy for Shannon. But believe it or not, viewers on Twitter were quite divided on the matter — a state of affairs that really serves as a testament to how widely disliked Ms. Beador has become in recent years. “I wonder what gave Shannon a bigger headache. The bowl hit or the bottle of tequila she drank. I’m just saying,” one fan remarked. Another Shannon hater was even more blunt, tweeting: “@ShannonBeador over reacts and exaggerates and blows things way out of proportion. C’mon Shannon stop crying about everything and grow some ovaries.” Yikes. We knew Shannon was particularly beloved on social media, but “grow some ovaries”? All because she got checked out by a doctor after taking a knock on the noggin? Talk about adding insult to injury! Elsewhere in the episode, Emily had her big Vegas show but was unhappy at how distant Gina has grown, despite Gina’s personal troubles. And honestly? Emily seems a little jealous that Gina’s found the time to grow closer to Shannon. Remember, Shannon couldn’t stand Gina last season. In fact, Emily, Kelly, and Braunwyn are all bonding over how unhappy they are with Gina and Shannon’s friendship. At this point, the situation is enough to make you want to conk yourself over the mallet. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know
Bachelor in Paradise Season 6 is officially in the books. But while the book has been closed on the latest run of this ABC franchise, a brand new chapter has been opened for two couples from the show. We’ve already documented what transpired between Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty (SPOILER ALERT: They’re engaged!), and now we’re here with romantic update on another pairing. Let’s delve into Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton , shall we? On last night’s finale, Chris acknowledged the “hard” road down which he and Katie have gone… but also praised Morton for all the positive ways in which she’s influenced him. He then said he yearned to make the show’s end the best moment of their lives — so he got down on one knee — as Katie broke down in tears — and proposed. And she said yes! Hooray, right? Viewers first met Chris on season 8 of The Bachelorette , which aired in 2012. He was 25 years old at the time and Emily Maynard eliminated him after their hometown date. After appearing on Bachelor Pad season 3, Chris attempted to crash season 10 of The Bachelorette. It was pretty darn awkward adter Andi Dorfman opted not to let him join the program. He later attempted to find love on seasons 1 and 2 of Bachelor in Paradise before announcing his “retirement.” The guy has been around ABC a lot . Katie, meanwhile, was a contestant on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor just a few months ago; she was sent home during week 6 of season 23. So that brings us up to their present and Tuesday night’s reunion special… Morton sitting opposite Chris Harrison WITHOUT an engagement ring on her finger. Uh-oh , guys. “We’re still engaged,” she assured viewers on the reunion, explaining in further detail: “I just put in so much effort every day and I love him so much, but I put in so much that my tank empties and if I’m not getting it filled, I break down. “It’s just the whole time at the beach he would tell others that he loves me and the only way I knew Chris loves me is the way he tells everyone else, not the way he shows me. “I love him, but I can’t speak as to how he makes me feel and the things he said and the things he did seemed so different.” That isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement of Bukowski or their relationship. What does this mean for their future? “I fell in love with potential that may never come to fruition, but I’m just praying it does,” Morton said. Again: this doesn’t sound very encouraging. Why doesn’t she just pull the plug on their engagement? “I don’t want to end things,” she said. “I’m just conflicted. I want it to get better but I want him to want it to be better.” Enter Chris, who came out on stage and tried to explain his side of things. “We take things day by day, and I think we do get better every day,” he said. “It’s a rollercoaster. It’s a lot in a short amount of time, and we have a really good understanding of each other. But yeah, it’s definitely rocky.” View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season 24: Meet the Women! Already! Bukowski also admitted to being “slower” with his feelings than Morton, but emphasized that he was on board with trying. “I honestly feel the best when I’m with you,” he told Morton. “My family loves you, my friends love you and I love you. I do and I think there’s so many more better days ahead of us and I want to see those days, I really do.” Bukowski and Morton’s time together during the finale wrapped with them going their separate ways outside of the studio. Translation: They are about to break uo.
Taylor Swift is receiving heaps of praise for her new album, “Lover.” In a new interview with Rolling Stone, however, the artist makes one thing abudantly clear when it comes to perpetual enemy Kanye West: She will always be a fighter. Speaking about her feud with Kanye and Kim Kardashian for approximately the 179th time, delves into the details of her ever-changing relationship with the rapper. It goes back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Kanye interrupted Swift’s speech to assert on stage that Beyonce actually deserved to win Best Video that year. This is notable because Swift tells Rolling Stone that the dynamic between the artists from that point onward played an enormous role in what happened seven years later. Intriguing, right? We write, of course, about the recorded phone call released by Kardashian in 2016 in which Kanye and Taylor can be heard discussing the lyric “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex,” which West uttered in his controversial track “Famous.” In this phone call, the world hears Swift grant Kanye permission to use this line. But she has emphasized from the outset of this rivalry that she has no clue Kanye would also refer to her as a “bitch” in this same song — and that’s largely where the beef lies. “The world didn’t understand the context and the events that led up to it,” Swift told Rolling Stone of the phone call, adding: “Because nothing ever just happens like that without some lead-up. Some events took place to cause me to be pissed off when [West] called me a bitch.” Okay. Go on then Taylor… “That was not just a singular event,” she continued. “Basically, I got really sick of the dynamic between he and I. And that wasn’t just based on what happened on that phone call and with that song — it was kind of a chain reaction of things.” Such as? The way the two actually made up about the infamous MTV VMAs interruption. “I started to feel like we reconnected, which felt great for me – because all I ever wanted my whole career after that thing happened in 2009 was for him to respect me,” she said. “When someone doesn’t respect you so loudly and says you literally don’t deserve to be here – I just so badly wanted that respect from him, and I hate that about myself, that I was like, ‘This guy who’s antagonizing me, I just want his approval.’ “But that’s where I was.” Swift went on to say that she and Kanye would go to dinner together and say nice things to each other and everything. But she then elaborated on when she finally realized just how hypocritical West can be. The singer alleged that, ahead of the 2015 VMAs, West called her to ask her to present him with the Video Vanguard Award at the upcoming awards ceremony. “I was so stoked that he asked me that,” Swift said. “And so I wrote this speech up, and then we get to the VMAs and I make this speech and he screams, ‘MTV got Taylor Swift up here to present me this award for ratings!’” In other words, according to Swift: Kanye asked her for a favor, and then turned it around in public to make it appear as if he had nothing to do with this presentation. “I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body. I realized he is so two-faced,” Swift said pointedly, adding: “That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk sh-t.” West reportedly sent Swift a “big, big thing of flowers” to apologize after this incident, and Swift tells Rolling Stone she decided to move past their differences once again due to this gesture. Fast forward to that aforementioned phone call about the song “Famous.” “So when he gets on the phone with me, and I was so touched that he would be respectful tell me about this one line in the song,” Swift explained. “And I was like, ‘Okay, good. We’re back on good terms.’ And then when I heard the song, I was like, ‘I’m done with this. If you want to be on bad terms, let’s be on bad terms, but just be real about it.'” For her part, Kardashian has said she’s over this Taylor feud . And Swift concludes by saying that she may finally be as well: “I really don’t want to talk about it anymore because I get worked up, and I don’t want to just talk about negative sh-t all day.” View Slideshow: Taylor Swift is STILL Talking About That Kim Kardashian Feud
