Because at the end of the day, we’re all just looking for Mr./Miss Right Swipe.
Javi's great with the ladies. Born in Texas, he's got the gentlemanly charm and Southern drawl to make the gals swoon.
Kirsten thrives on the hope that dudes will find her awkwardness endearing — which the right ones usually do. Originally from Boston, she tries her best not to say "wicked" too much and still has nightmares about the one date where she PHYSICALLY choked on spaghetti.
Lara Parker and Christian Zamora for BuzzFeed
How it works: Your profile consists of pictures and a short bio, and can also be linked to your Instagram. You then set the parameters for who you're looking for: age, gender, location. Based on that, you'll get matches who you can swipe right (for yes) or left (for no).
Kirsten: Tinder is the fuckboy of dating apps for me. I feel like I'm always deleting it and then going back to it — because let's be honest, I have a soft spot for fuckboys.
Javi: Tinder is my first dating app love. You never forget it and you always go back to it. But as other apps have picked up, I've kinda moved on from it.
Kirsten: Yeah, it's kinda more of a game to me than anything else — is that fucked up to say? I guess I take it less seriously.
Javi: It's definitely more of a hookup site, in my opinion.
Kirsten: Yeah...that's probably why I don't like it. I feel like I always get, "Hey. DTF?"
Javi: People really say that?
Kirsten: Absolutely.
Javi: Well, I mean I've thought that, but I don't outwardly say it. Damn.
Kirsten: I'm not sure that's better...
Tinder
How it works: Bumble is really similar to Tinder in that you set parameters for who you're looking for and then swipe them left or right. However, on Bumble, the ball is in the woman's court. After matching with a woman, it's on her to reach out and say hi. They have 24 hours to do this before the connection expires.
Javi: Bumble takes you back to, like, junior high where you're waiting for the girl you like to talk to you or call you. It builds up the anticipation. And if the girl has to make the first move, to me, it feels like they actually like you.
Kirsten: Yeah, I like Bumble because I like the control of it. I mean, I like it and I hate it because then it's on me to figure out how to break the ice, whereas with Tinder I just assume people will message me first. And I'm usually not great at breaking the ice. Most of the time I open with emojis.
Javi: Seriously? Haha. Use your words, King.
Kirsten: I know, I know. But the waving-back-and-forth emoji is so cute.
Javi: But Bumble is great. It's my new favorite right now.
Kirsten: I like it too. I haven't gone out with anyone from Bumble yet. But I'm open to it.
Bumble
Test your ’90s kid cred.
The rules of this game are simple: type the name of the show you think is pictured. Take as many guesses as you'd like, but if you get stumped click "I GIVE UP!" to reveal the answer. Good luck!
When will this madness end, jeans?!
Thinkstock
1. First of all, why? And secondly, how dare you?
2. Why are you so hard to put on?
3. Like, I have to hop around in order to put on skinny jeans. Why?
4. Why do you make shopping so hard for tall AND short people? Can't you just figure your shit out?
5. Why do colors like acid-washed exist? Who would possibly think the words "acid" and "washed" would sound great paired together, let alone also look great?
6. On that note: Why do you even come in corduroy?
7. Do leggings count as pants? My leggings have an elastic band, so why don't all pants just copy leggings?
8. Do you ever feel like people who wear dresses and shorts are openly judging you?
9. Like, people look forward to removing you every day. How does that feel?
10. Why aren't all the waistbands on jeans made with elastic?
11. I mean, when people unbuckle and say, "I need to make room!" shouldn't that be a hint that elastic bands are NECESSARY?
12. Who decided low-rise was a good idea?
13. Why do jeans get tighter when I eat, instead of just giving a little bit so I don't feel like I'm slowly being ziplocked into my own clothing? Treat others as you'd like to be treated.
The immensely talented and iconic Kate Winslet stole our hearts 18 years ago as Rose in Titanic, and she's continued to do so ever since, including her recent turn as Sabine in the British period film A Little Chaos.
Set in 1682, Winslet stars alongside Alan Rickman and Matthias Schoenaerts as a strong, independent landscape gardener who throws herself into work at the Palace of Versailles after dealing with the recent tragic loss of her family. We sat down with Winslet to chat all about the period drama, her experiences on the set of Titanic, and, if she had to choose, which of her movie characters she'd trade lives with. Here's what went down.
Kate Winslet: One of the things I would say about the complexity of Sabine is that you don’t feel any of it, you know? There’s a sort of gentleness about her, and a strength, and courage, and positivity, and lightness of spirit.

That I did feel was quite unusual for a woman who has experienced substantial grief actually quite recently in her life. I loved that about her. I loved her resourcefulness, I loved her creativity, I loved her bohemian way of thinking. She’s a really exceptional woman, and there’s something empowering about playing those qualities. Especially in a period film.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
It was very, very beautiful. It’s a beautiful period in time. And there were just so many things about her that I really admired actually, and you know that’s not always the case in acting! Sometimes I’ll find myself playing a role and there are things it’s like, ah, OK. OK, I have to play that emotion and get my head around that thing. And often there are things about a character that I will actually find quite irritating, in terms of qualities that they possess. And I didn’t find that with Sabine. So it was just a really — it was like a relief, you know?
I was also in the very early stages of pregnancy when we were making the film and trying to keep it a secret. And so actually, to have a focus every day — and I did have a lot of nausea and a lot of those good fun things a lot of women have in the early stages — you know, it was a lovely distraction from all of that stuff as well!
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
KW: Yes, I’ve definitely been in situations. You know, actually on Titanic, you know that was quite a male-strong crew, and male-driven piece in terms of lots of actors as opposed to actresses. I never felt — what’s the word — uncomfortable or out of place. But I did feel, OK, I gotta hold my own.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
And also the nature of that character, she does drive the story. So I was very aware of just, [deep breath] OK, dig deep, be strong. And I think because the age that I was, you know I turned 21 on that shoot and you know you do have to give yourself some sort of metaphorical pep talks just in terms of staying confident, feeling good about yourself.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
And I think it’s hard when you’re young, no matter what your role is in life — whether you’re still in college, or traveling, or you have a stable job, as was in my case. You sometimes do have to say, Come on, you can do this, keep going! Yeah, I’ve definitely had a lot of moments like that.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
KW: I do prefer more order, but I fail miserably. There’s a lot of order in my kitchen just because I’m in the kitchen ALL the time. But in terms of other things in life —like you know, clothes — I’m afraid I’m a bit of a strewer. Often I’ll look at a room and go, Ugh, whose is all this stuff?! And then I’ll realize that it’s all mine [laughs], and it’s just strewn all over the floor. So, you know, a combination of both of those things.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
KW: I’d love to know what it was like to live in the '20s. Actually probably in France, because France is just so beautiful, in particular Paris. Yeah, very beautiful period.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
KW: Definitely not Titanic. [laughs] Probably Iris, the character I played in The Holiday, actually! She was so lovely.
Christine Hardtman / BuzzFeed
It was a lovely part to be able to play. And I really liked her cottage, could’ve quite liked to live there. And it’s in England. I do love England. So yeah, probably that character!

Police have launched a fresh appeal to for information on William’s disappearance.
NSW Police
William's parents, who cannot be identified, have released a letter to remember their son and say they will bake a cake for him on his birthday.
"If William were home, he would be beside himself with excitement and making a long list of presents he would like which would definitely include toys like superhero action figures and dress-ups," the letter published by The Daily Telegraph reads.
"If William were home, he'd be making plans to celebrate his special day and a party would most definitely be on his agenda."
"William loves to dress up so his party would have a superhero theme with invitations issued to about 12 or so of his little friends."
"If William were home, choosing the colour of the balloons, selecting the menu and creating the invitation with his Mummy would create much excitement in the household."
NSW Police
"William's sister continues to ask where her brother is and when he will be home," Johnston said today. "We've tried so hard to keep life as normal as possible for her, reminding her how much she is loved and how safe she is even though William is not here."
"She is such a joy to us and it's heart breaking to see her miss her little brother. They were like two peas in a pod."
Police have urged anyone with information on William's disappearance to contact CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.
"William did not just vanish into thin air," Detective Inspector Gary Jubelin, from the State Crime Command's Homicide Squad, said.
"We, along with his family and friends, pray that he is still alive," Det. Insp. Jubelin said.
"If he had not been targeted, today William would be with his mum and dad, his sister and other loved ones, blowing out candles on his birthday cake and happily opening presents," he added.

This is gonna sound really weird but "duality." I'm not joking, I say "duality" way too much. That and dude, I say dude a lot.
6. Backstreet boys or *NSYNC?

A guide to keeping your job.
Walking across the store floor quickly implies that you have a fuckload to do; too much to be dawdling around like some bored person who's just trying to kill time. Also a benefit? Getting a lot of steps in. Hit that 10K goal!

A real-life Walk to Remember.
"The doctors had tears in their eyes when they told Omar the news," close family friend Jo Khalaf told the Birmingham Mail.
While in the hospital and undergoing chemo, Amie visited Omar as often as she could, but by the time doctors found a matching donor, it was too late.
On June 14, doctors told Omar that the cancer had spread to his bone marrow and he only had a few days left to live. Two days later, he proposed to Amie.
Mmmmmmm BAAACONNNNN!

Helloooooo Kitty!
An Aussie classic.
Fairy bread is a goddamn national treasure.
The height of Australian cuisine a.k.a. HEAVEN ON A PLATE.
Combined with Jatz or, if you were really fancy, skewered on a toothpick.
It's right there in the name.
Flaky. Meaty. Good.
