Halloween is quickly approaching, and if you’re like me, you always leave costume decisions to the last minute. For me, figuring out a costume has gotten harder as I’ve grown up because I feel like I have already done everything, even though I definitely haven’t. The costumes I wore as a kid feel so much more fun than anything I could do now, but that shouldn’t stop any of us from revisiting those costumes now that we are older. Here are some exciting costume ideas that will fulfill y...| KRNL L&F
In a world full of divided households, it is rare to find light-hearted discourse on social media. However, I think we can all agree that when we love Robert Irwin’s dance moves on Dancing with the Stars or how badly Pepe messed up with Iris on Love Island. Reality shows are a great American pastime. Watching grown men and women lose their minds over made-up challenges, a judge's unfair score or the elimination of our favorite cast members. Whatever you choose to fight for, there is an...| KRNL Lifestyle + Fashion
Every year since 1976, Cincinnati, Ohio has hosted the largest Oktoberfest in the United States, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city’s riverfront to celebrate its deep-rooted German heritage. The city’s Oktoberfest tradition began as a way for German immigrants to preserve their culture and bring some of their home to the Midwest. Over the years, the festival has grown from a local gathering to a national attraction. Only Munich, Germany, has a bigger Oktoberfest celebra...| KRNL Lifestyle + Fashion
My favorite reality show has always been “Dancing With the Stars”. When I started dancing at age three, I would be glued to the show dancing along with the celebrities and marveling over their costumes. I even dreamed about one day being on the show, pro or celebrity. Now, every Tuesday night, I’m still glued to my TV watching “Dancing With the Stars”. It’s become a mid-week ritual, even if I had plans Tuesday, I still have my Disney+ open and my phone ready to text for my favor...| KRNL Lifestyle + Fashion
I am positive that by now we have all heard of the concept of a “ Hot Girl Walk”. A concept coined by TikTok users took storm by promoting walking multiple miles at an accelerated pace as the ideal hot girl workout. But this is not a new concept, and in fact walking as a form of exercise is not the only benefit to walking. At a much more conscious level, I am sure that after you walk you feel lighter and calmer, at least I do. But this is no coincidence or placebo effect. Accord...| KRNL Lifestyle + Fashion
After only a year since the release of her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” Sabrina Carpenter came out with one of the most replayable albums I have ever heard, “Man’s Best Friend,” on Aug. 29. Starting with a controversy surrounding the cover for the album, which depicts Carpenter on her knees in a black mini dress while a faceless man grabs her hair, “Man’s Best Friend” was making plenty of noise even before it was released. “Y’all need to get out more, I think,...| KRNL Lifestyle + Fashion
