10 Magical Freebies For Your Unicorn-Obsessed Child

Freda A. Nix 3 months ago

Just recently, I asked my daughter what theme she wanted her new room to be, and without hesitation, she practically screamed at me, “UNICORNS!”

Yup, that’s my child… and I can’t say that her answer surprised me at all. Just like Agnes from Despicable Me, she believes unicorns are the most magical things ever invented. She has unicorn jammies, unicorn socks, unicorn shoes, unicorn sheets, and now, she will have a unicorn room, too. Unfortunately, as of this moment, I can’t leave the house to get her the décor she needs to make her room complete. So I’ve decided to settle for the next best thing — unicorn freebies.

Maybe your child is much like mine with this mystical creature obsession. If so, these are the best, and most interactive, unicorn activities your little one can do for free.

Watch Brad Pitt Get Choked Up With the Property Brothers on ‘Celebrity IOU’

Freda A. Nix 3 months ago

This whole thing hits you at weird times. Kind of like Tony Soprano and the ducks. For me, it was watching Brad Pitt, smack in the middle of the Property Brothers, having a hell of a good time demoing the shit out of a wall while wearing a newsboy cap, when I realized that we haven’t been living for a month now.

Thankfully, the rest of the debut episode of HGTV’s Celebrity IOU—where the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott team up to give a celebrity’s friend-of-choice a home remodel of their dreams—paid back some of the humanity I’ve lost during quarantine. Last night’s premiere saw the brothers work with Brad Pitt to build his longtime makeup artist, Jean Black, a brand-new combo guest house, workspace, and storage room, in only three weeks.

Celebrity IOU delivers on every bit of Brad-branded wholesomeness you’d want, short of him jumping on

Jihyo of TWICE’s K-Pop Career Has Been 15 Years in the Making

Freda A. Nix 3 months ago

When Jihyo gets home after completing yet another grueling day of being Jihyo — international pop superstar and main vocalist of South Korea’s best-selling girl group, TWICE — she changes into her coziest pajamas, ties her hair up, slips on her wire-frame, blue-light-protection glasses, and delves into the world of League of Legends. In the game, players join an ensemble of misfit “champions” who battle to dominate a map.

But that’s after this interview. Jihyo still has 45 minutes left today to be Jihyo, the leader of an ensemble of gorgeous idols singing and dancing in hopes of conquering the world. We’re inside a windowless photo studio on a tranquil, residential hill in Seoul’s fastest-paced neighborhood, Gangnam. Around us, the windows of plastic surgeons’ offices and home-decor stores glitter into the evening. In the process of un-becoming Jihyo, the idol is peeling off her custom crystallized Unistella stick-on nails one

In an Instagram Live interview earlier this week, ELLE Decor editor in chief Whitney Robinson checked in with actress and entrepreneur Drew Barrymore to find out how she is holding up while isolating in her Los Angeles home with her daughters, seven-year-old Olive and Frankie, five. Barrymore has been keeping busy by hanging out with her children and planning upcoming collections for her business, Flower, which encompasses home products, beauty, and a recently launched line of blue-light eyeglasses. She is also playing family-favorite board games and watching Disney movies with her kids. “I have no time to myself, I will tell you that much!” she jokes.

Robinson asked her to share her priorities with ED during this challenging time.

• Savor Quiet Time. With her extroverted lifestyle, Barrymore and her kids are rarely alone together. Usually, they are always surrounded by family and friends. While she enjoys the hustle
