Dennis Quaid recalls the spiritual experience that helped him overcome addiction

In an exclusive interview with People, actor Dennis Quaid shared how his faith led him towards the path of sobriety, and it’s a great example of the major role that spirituality—that is, the feeling of connection to something greater to yourself, not necessarily in the form of religion—plays in addiction recovery.

Quaid broke into Hollywood in 1979’s “Breaking Away,” and over the next 10 years would become a household name. But at the height of his success, a profound moment caused him to check into a rehab center.

Man shares how he and his wife take time off parenting and people are loving the idea

Parenting can get exhausting mainly when the kids are younger and need special attention all the time. They need to be fed on time, entertained and have proper nap time.

All this while parents have to manage their personal and professional lives. So, a dad of three and a productivity expert Matt Ragland has come up with a genius idea to make sure that both he and his wife have enough time off and calls it the “Parent’s Time Off.” He wrote in a Twitter post, “My wife and I are working on a family PTO (parent’s time off) plan. Here’s what we are starting with 1 night per week, half day weekend per month, and one full weekend day per quarter.”

They watched their wedding cake crash to the ground. The groom’s reaction was perfection.

It’s quite common for people to fantasize about their wedding day—the ceremony, the bridal party, the dress, the cake—and some people spend months or even years meticulously planning every detail. People even spend thousands of dollars hiring wedding planners to make sure that the big day stays fully organized and all the moving parts come together without a hitch.

But no matter how well you plan, sometimes things that simply can’t be predicted happen. And how you and your beloved handle the hitches and glitches on your wedding day can say a lot.

Mexican dad wears pink tutu to ‘Barbie’ screening after being dared to by his daughter

There’s no doubt that pink is the official color of the summer of 2023. Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has people dressing up in the iconic doll’s favorite color to attend screenings across the country and sharing their fabulous snaps on social media.

Andrew Liptak, author of the new book “Cosplay: A History,” says it’s all about having fun and expressing yourself. “By dressing up,” Liptak told Yahoo Entertainment, “you’re able to bring that story to life a little bit.”

“It’s a form of play, and it’s a form of entertainment, and I think that… we sort of overlook the importance of play and to have fun and to relax and just enjoy ourselves,” Liptak continues. “And this is an outlet to do that.”

Adorable little girl has the best time playing with TikTok’s old age filter

No doubt you’ve seen people reacting to TikTok’s “aged” filter, which shows users what their face might look like many years into the future. It uses the same AI technology that creates those mind-bogglingly realistic beauty photos with zero imperfections or signs of aging, but turns the concept on its head. Less glam, more gray hair and wrinkles.

Generally speaking, the reactions have been…less than welcoming. From celebrities to beauty influencers to just regular folks, this filter has unlocked some deep-seated fears and shame towards aging that continue to exist no matter how much we shout the mantra of “SELF LOVE” from the rooftops.

However, a 5-year-old girl is having the time of her life “aging” herself up, and it’s every bit as refreshing as it is wholesome.
