Many people call the eyes the windows to the soul, but we could argue that it’s actually your eyebrows. Your eyebrows are a major part of any facial expressions you make, sometimes even revealing feelings you’d rather keep hidden. Take away someone’s eyebrows and you lose a lot. Add volume and texture, however, and suddenly you’re looking like an Instagram model! They seem small, but styling your eyebrows can really make a huge difference in your overall glam. There are so many ways you can style them too. Most of us can agree, however, that we want them to look full and fierce. We’re ready to leave the skinny 2000s brow in the past. Forever.

David Katzmaier/CNET Deciding to cut the cable TV cord doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite channels. You can stream them live, including sports like the NFL and MLB, as well as live news from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC or your local TV station. One way to watch live shows without cable is to connect an antenna, but your channel selection will be relatively small. If you want more options you should check out a live TV streaming service. They deliver numerous familiar live channels, features like cloud DVRs and the ability to watch not only on TVs but also on phones, tablets and computers -- all with no cable box or contract required. Six major services are available today: AT&T's DirecTV Stream (formerly AT&T TV, AT&T TV Now and DirecTV Now), Google's YouTube TV, Disney's Hulu Plus Live TV, Dish Network's Sling TV, FuboTV and Philo.

Get to know your new favorite journalist Journalist, author, and video game designer Ana Valens is someone I very much admire. Valens writes about things other people are too scared of getting wrong. But whether it’s covering ‘hypnoslut’ gamers as a NSFW columnist at The Daily Dot, going long on Tumblr porn for her novel, or offering her perspective as managing editor of We Got This Covered, Valens dissects her subjects with enough close care to serve a pufferfish. After meeting at a Brooklyn bar, we talked about gaming and how women writers exist in it. Tell me a little bit about you and how you first got into gaming. How has your relationship to the video game community changed since then? Hi! I’m a games journalist and critic and an adult game developer. I currently serve as managing editor for the geekdom site We Got This Covered, which was recently acquired by Gamurs. My relationship to the video game community has definitely changed over the years. I’ve played video games since I was a kid, and I used to read Kotaku and Joystiq (RIP) daily as a teen. I definitely started out as a bit of a gamer, then…

As part of the series, three emerging filmmakers will receive mentorship from producer Will Packer, and their films are available to watch on Rotten Tomatoes, MovieClips Indie Channel, Peacock, and the NBC App. They have the “sexy walk;” “the pretzel;” “the dougie;” “the Vivian.” These aren’t 1950s innuendoes. They’re the dance moves performed by a special Chicago-based ballet company. Founded by Homer Hans Bryant, hiplet is a combination of hip-hop and traditional ballet performed to dizzying, intoxicating effect by a collection of incredible local dancers. Director Addison Wright, another Chicago native, decided to make a film about these viral sensations after discovering the troupe on Instagram.
