Pumpkin season has stopped waiting for fall. This year it also stopped waiting for coffee.

eos announced on Monday that a Pumpkin Chai body lotion and a matching body mist arrive Tuesday, Aug. 4, at evolutionofsmooth.com. "Pumpkin Chai is officially on the way," the brand told its 1.8 million followers. The Reel climbed past 11,000 likes in four hours.

Chai Was Already on the Shelf

The scent is a shorter leap than it sounds. eos sells a Dirty Chai lip shine, and its current lineup runs heavily toward the cozy and the edible, with Toasted Marshmallow, Fresh & Cozy and Peppermint Cashmere all in rotation.

Chai is having a fall moment on the drinks side too. The Starbucks fall menu, arriving later this month, includes a Pumpkin Spice Chai and a new cider-inspired Chaider, so the flavor eos bottled is one the coffee chains are chasing at the same time.

Neither Pumpkin Chai product carried a price as of Monday, and neither had appeared on the site yet. The rest of the line points the way, with body lotions at $10.99 and body mists at $12.99.

Shoppers were not waiting on the details. "I take this very serious," one wrote under the Reel. "On the edge of my seat with card in hand," said another. A third asked about stores. eos replied that it is "dropping online first," with stores "coming soon."

The company has been at this since 2009, back when it was mostly a lip balm brand, and its seasonal launches have grown into their own kind of event. The cashmere body mist arrived after months of fan requests. Shoppers have cleared shelves of its seasonal scents before.

Pumpkin Chai goes live Tuesday.

The benefit of a well-crafted novella is that readers can experience literary greatness without spending too much time turning pages. The publication Collider recently released a ranking of "the 10 greatest novellas of all time," which showcased works that are limited in their word count but not their impact.

According to Collider, a few of the top novellas ever published are 1982's Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, released in 1952, 1937's Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and The Metamorphosis by FranzKafka from 1915. The publication put 1945's Animal Farm by famed dystopian writer George Orwell, who died in 1950 when he was 46, at the top of the list. Collider reported that Orwell's work is a powerful and compact lampooning of 1917's Russian Revolution.

Animal Farm holds a rating of 4.03 out of 5 from 4,767,464 readers on Goodreads.

The novella has been a source of inspiration for quite a few adaptations, both on screen and stage. For instance, British actor Guy Masterson has put on professional one-person productions based on the 1945 novella for over 30 years. During a 2024 interview with the Maverick Theater, Masterson said he believed Orwell's novella is "truly remarkable."

"In Animal Farm, it's an allegory which is kind of strictly linked to the events of the Russian Revolution and Stalin's abuse of the ideals of communism. He was effectively writing it to let the idealistic left know that what they believed in, i.e. communism as an ideal, was being abused," said the actor in the 2024 interview.

In addition, he said that Animal Farm remains timeless in its messaging while using animals as metaphorical figures.

"For us living in a modern liberal democracy, it points out the hypocrisy of topical politicians and current politicians. And the lies that they tell and the speak and the alternative facts that they pump out all over the place," continued Masterson.

Mary Rivera, a beloved actress who played Ned Leeds' Filipino grandmother in Spider-Man: No Way Home, has died at the age of 82, TMZ reports.

Rivera died on April 15 in Honolulu.

A family member told the outlet that Rivera "suffered a stroke, and doctors warned the family her condition was extremely serious."

"The relative says doctors told them even if Mary emerged from the coma, her prognosis would not be good, so the family made the difficult decision to remove her from life support," TMZ added.

The family member further detailed that it was her family that encouraged her to audition for the role, which she ultimately landed in the 2021 hit Marvel movie. In a 2022 interview with Hawaiʻi Public Radio, Rivera's daughter Angie Kelly detailed exactly how it came about.

"I happened to be on a friend's Facebook scrolling, and I see an ad, a casting call looking for a local Hawaiʻi Filipina grandmother between the age of 50 and 90. And immediately I thought, 'Oh, well my mom qualifies and checks off all those boxes,'" she said. "They just asked her to talk about herself and why she wanted to do the role. So she just gave a brief history of her time in the Philippines and what brought her to the United States, and raising her four children and 11 grandchildren — and basically that that is her biggest accomplishment of everything that she's done.

"My mom has worn many hats over the years. She was a radio broadcaster, a teacher, but most notable was her role as a mother and grandmother."

Fans paid tribute following the sad news.

"I was just watching her when she asked Andrew’s Spider-Man to clean the caw webs 😂rip 🙏🏼," one person commented.

"The people behind the scenes and supporting roles are just as much a part of what makes films memorable. May Mary Rivera be remembered for her contributions," another person posted.

She is survived by her husband, her children, 11 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

UFC fighter Allan Nascimento has died at the age of 34, the UFC announced on Monday, Aug. 3.

"This morning, Monday, August 3rd, our beloved flyweight fighter, Allan Nascimento, was found unresponsive after suffering an apparent heart attack in his sleep. Despite the efforts of the responding medical team, he was pronounced deceased at the scene," the statement read. "Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Allan's family, friends, teammates, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time."

This comes after he most recently fought on a Fight Night card in Las Vegas on June 20. He had an overall record of 22-7 and 4-2 in the UFC. Nascimento received the nickname "Puro Osso," which translates to 'skin and bones.'

Nascimento trained at Chute Boxe in São Paulo, working alongside Charles Oliveira, who paid tribute to the fighter on Instagram following the announcement by the UFC.

“Today I lost a brother that the fight game gave me,” Oliveira wrote on his Instagram Story, which was translated from Portuguese. “Thank you for always being by my side, for sharing the mats and the corner. I have nothing but gratitude for having you with me — in training, in the corner, and just hanging out. I love you, man; you’re a legend.

Chute Boxing also posted in honor of Nascimento

"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our athlete @allanpuroosso," they wrote. "Today our team loses much more than an athlete; we lost a warrior, a friend, a dedicated competitor, and an extraordinary human being who earned the respect and admiration of all who had the privilege of knowing him."

"Allan inspired inside and out of the tatams with his determination, humility, respect and fighting spirit," the post continued. "Your presence will be missed immeasurable, rest in peace Allan, your name, your story and your legacy will live forever through our star ⭐️"

Chris Farley will be remembered as one of the funniest SNL cast members of all time—not just by fans, but by his former castmates as well. One of the most beloved performers in Saturday Night Live history, Farley delighted audiences by creating larger-than-life characters with boundless energy. But if there was one thing Farley liked more than hearing thunderous applause from the audience, it was making his castmates laugh on live TV.

Known to improvise while the show was on the air, Farley kept cast mates like David Spadeand Adam Sandleron their toes. His improvisational skills are legendary, and this moment during "The Gap Girls" sketch may be the best example.

Chris Farley's "The Gap Girls" Sketch Is Comedy Gold @joeyvandal

♬ original sound - Joey Vandal

The Gap Girls were a series of recurring Saturday Night Live sketches in 1994 revolving around three women: Cindy Crawford, played by Farley; Christy Henderson, played by Spade; and Lucy Brawn, played by Sandler. Though the characters worked at the Gap, their jobs were secondary to joking around, having fun, and hanging out at the mall food court.

In one installment of "The Gap Girls," the trio is enjoying French fries at the mall food court. When Christy questions Cindy's French fry intake, Farley suddenly improvises a hilarious chokehold on a stunned Spade, leaving Sandler unsuccessfully trying to keep a straight face.

Moments like these are a reminder of the power and energy of live television. Anything can happen at any time, and that spontaneity brought out the best in comedy greats like Farley, who reveled in getting his friends to break character on camera.

Farley was on Saturday Night Live for five seasons, from 1990 to 1995 (Seasons 16 through 20), alongside a veritable who's who of comedy, including Adam Sandler, David Spade, Phil Hartman, Mike Myers, Kevin Nealon, Julia Sweeney, and Molly Shannon, who joined during Farley's final season.

Known for some of the show's most memorable recurring characters—including motivational speaker Matt Foley, the Japanese game show host, performances of "Lunchlady Land" alongside Adam Sandler, and his unforgettable Chippendales audition with Patrick Swayze—Farley's energy and total commitment to every character made him a standout cast member and a comedy legend.

Chris Farley's Improvisation Made Every Sketch Feel Unpredictable

His characters were legendary, but it was his improvisational skills and chemistry with his fellow cast members that fans couldn't get enough of. Knowing comedy magic could happen at any moment—including the possibility of a cast member breaking character because they couldn't stop laughing—was part of what kept audiences tuning in during Farley's tenure on the show.

Whether it was "The Gap Girls" or his Matt Foley sketches, Farley kept audiences on the edge of their seats, waiting for him to go off script. At heart, he was a true professional who could improvise without letting the wheels fall off the sketch. Judging by his co-stars' reactions to his brilliant improvisations, Farley's Saturday Night Live cast mates couldn't get enough of his comedic genius either.

Alec Baldwin is one proud grandpa to his daughter Ireland Baldwin's little girl Holland.

Ireland, 30, chronicles her life as a mom with her boyfriendRAC (real name André Allen Anjos) on her Instagram. While the duo is set to welcome their second child, they're having the time of their lives watching Holland enjoy life with her family. That includes Alec, Holland's grandfather, who was pictured in a new video playing by the pool with the little girl and the sons he shares with wife Hilaria Baldwin.

"Holland playing football with her little uncles and her peepaw @alecbaldwininsta," Ireland captioned the sweet video.

Ireland Baldwin's Mother is Kim Basinger

Ireland's mother is Alec Baldwin's ex-wife Kim Basinger. The Oscar-winning actress, 72, who kicked off her legendary career as a model in the ’70s, eventually switched to acting. During the ’80s, Basinger made waves alongside Mickey Rourke in the sexy drama 9 1/2 Weeks, and skyrocketed to the top of the box office in the role of Vicki Vale in Tim Burton‘s Batman, alongside Michael Keaton. However, it was her role in 1997’s L.A. Confidential that earned her an Academy Award.

While Basinger is notoriously reclusive these days, she’s loving life as a grandmother. In a photo carousel for Mother’s Day, Ireland shared a sweet video of Basinger in the second slide, jumping up and down on the trampoline with Holland.

“love these moms and being one!” Baldwin captioned his photo carousel.

While Alec Baldwin and Basinger had a divorce that rocked the tabloids, things seem to have changed in the last couple of decades. In a recent Instagram post, Basinger honored Baldwin’s 68th birthday with a sweet throwback video from their 1991 film, The Marrying Man. But in addition to the video, it was what she said that truly blew fans away.

Maybe Vicky and Charlie lived happily ever after…… But in real life there is a phrase called “OTHER PLANS”………This coming Sunday will mark the 35th anniversary of THE MARRYING MAN…. A very special time in my life that I will be forever grateful for…… The years have passed and time has done its wonders… I will also say that today is Alec Baldwin’s birthday… 🎂 A big happy birthday to Alec my costar …..Wishing him health… laughter…. and many more wonderful years with family and friends……always 🙏✨🥰,” Basinger captioned the video.

The debut record from rock band Velvet Underground and German singer Nico, The Velvet Underground & Nico, became one of the most influential albums ever recorded, inspiring countless future rockers including David Bowie, The Clash, and Arctic Monkeys. Widely regarded as one of the greatest ever, Collider went one further and recently ranked it No. 1 in its list of the best American classic rock albums of all time.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Infamous for its iconic banana cover pop art, courtesy of Andy Warhol, who also served as the album’s producer, and bold songs about taboo topics like drugs and sadomasochism, the album actually flopped upon release, selling an estimated 30,000 copies in its first few years. That subpar performance was echoed on the charts, with the album reaching only No. 129 on the Billboard 200.

View this post on Instagram

But over time, the album’s colossal impact on rock and roll has shown itself, having helped shape punk, art rock, indie, alternative rock, and countless other subgenres. Musician Brian Eno famously said, “Only 30,000 people bought the record, but everyone who bought it formed a band.”

“Just for how influential it was, it feels appropriate to put The Velvet Underground & Nicohere,” Collider wrote about its list-topper. “It was the first Velvet Underground album, and the best overall, though it’s self-titled because Nico was also a big part of this album working the way it did, with the songs she has lead vocals on here honestly being kind of overlooked (“All Tomorrow's Parties” is especially fantastic).”

Released in March 1967 via Verve Records, the album features 11 songs. Though each track has proved influential, key songs from the debut include “Heroin,” “Venus in Furs,” and “Sunday Morning,” all of which expanded the possibilities of rock music.

The Washington Post called “Heroin” a “wellspring of what would later be called punk or alternative,” with its pulsating tempo mirroring the rush of opioid use.

“Venus in Furs,” the album’s middle track fueled by John Cale’s electric viola and Lou Reed’s guitar, created a “glorious mess of sex and dread,” Ultimate Classic Rock said, and laid the groundwork for Goth.

And the dreamy opener, “Sunday Morning,” hinted at sounds that would later flourish in dream pop and alternative rock. At the same time, Open Culture credited the album as a whole with influencing everything from punk and new wave to indie and shoegaze.

And the list goes on and on.

According to Far Out, Nico’s involvement with the record came about at the insistence of Warhol. Reed was resentful at her inclusion, but in the end, adding her contrasting vocals and iconic presence to what would become a landmark album proved to be a genius move.

For her part, Nico sings lead on three key tracks: “Femme Fatale,” “All Tomorrow’s Parties,” and “I’ll Be Your Mirror.” She also provides backing vocals on “Sunday Morning.”

Despite a brief tenure with the band, Nico and her influence “imbued the band’s debut with such timeless brilliance,” Far Out wrote. Shortly after the album's release, Nico left the band and pursued a solo career.

The making of the album involved a raw, fast recording process in 1966, with most of the album recorded at Scepter Studios in New York City. According to the Library of Congress, which added the record to the National Recording Registry in 2006 to preserve its cultural and historical impact, Warhol financed the record for $3,000, and the tracks were recorded over several quick sessions, totaling four days.

“The Velvet Underground & Nico is one of those all-time great and important albums that, if you removed it from history,” Collider concluded, “it’d be difficult to know what the music landscape would've come to look like in the years since 1967.”

Nearly three decades after disappearing from the music scene, New Radicals are back with brand-new music.

The band has released "One Night Only (Break Loose Break Free!)," marking its first newly recorded song since 1998. The surprise release reunites songwriter Gregg Alexander and longtime collaborator Danielle Brisebois, whose only studio album together became one of the most beloved pop-rock releases of the late 1990s.

The new track was co-written and performed by Alexander, Brisebois, and Nick Lashley. It also serves as the theme song for the upcoming romantic comedyOne Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner, in which premarital sex is legal for just one night each year.

The release marks an unexpected return for a band that ended almost as quickly as it began.

Following the success of Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too in 1998, Alexander dissolved New Radicals before the group could record a second album. Despite earning widespread acclaim and scoring an international hit with "You Get What You Give," he became disillusioned with life as a touring frontman and stepped away from the spotlight after the band's 1999 tour opening for the Goo Goo Dolls.

"I simply missed feeling like an artist everyday and being able to write songs everyday and not feel like my time was being controlled and managed to answer to corporate shareholders," Alexander said in a 2014 interview. "I missed my old life."

Alexander never stopped writing music, however.

Over the following decades, he became one of pop's most accomplished behind-the-scenes songwriters, co-writing hits including "The Game of Love" for Santana and Michelle Branch, "Murder on the Dancefloor" for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and the Academy Award-nominated "Lost Stars," famously performed by Adam Levine in the film Begin Again.

The New Radicals name briefly resurfaced in 2021.

The band reunited for the first time in 22 years to perform "You Get What You Give" during President Joe Biden's virtual inauguration parade. The song held special meaning for the Biden family, as it had become Beau Biden's favorite anthem during his battle with cancer, a connection President Biden wrote about in his memoir. In recent years, the song has also found a new audience through covers by younger artists including Benee, Gus Dapperton, and Geese.

Now, fans finally have something they never expected: an entirely new New Radicals recording.

"I still believe, in my heart of hearts, that a great rock and roll song or great pop song can cause a f*****g revolution," Alexander told Billboard in 2018.

Twenty-eight years after the band's debut album introduced Gregg Alexander's unforgettable songwriting to the world, "One Night Only (Break Loose Break Free!)" proves there is still life in the New Radicals name. For longtime fans, it's a welcome return from one of the most influential one-album bands of the 1990s.

The Cavern Club got so hot on the night of Aug. 3, 1963, that condensation ran down the walls and onto the stage. Water worked into the electrical system, and partway through their set the power died.

Sixty-three years ago today, the Liverpool basement on Mathew Street hosted John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr for the 292nd and final time. Standing in the dark, Lennon and McCartney picked up acoustic guitars and played "When I'm Sixty-Four", a song the band would not release for another four years.

The same basement had already booked the Quarrymen, the skiffle group that preceded the Beatles, back in 1957. A local record store manager named Brian Epstein went to see them there on a customer's suggestion, liked what he heard, then offered to manage them.

By that August they were a month past recording "She Loves You". The final Cavern set ran from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and paid 300 pounds. Five other acts shared the bill, among them the Mersey Beats and the Escorts. Tickets had gone on sale to club members only at 1:30 p.m. on July 21 and sold out inside 30 minutes at just under 10 shillings each. Cavern DJ Bob Wooler said the club cleared no profit that night.

They Never Came Back

Wooler remembered Epstein promising the band would return one day. "We all felt it was their swan song," he said.

It was. Two years later they played the first major stadium rock concert, and their last live performance happened on a London rooftop in 1969. The Cavern closed in May 1973 and was torn down for an underground rail line, then rebuilt as a replica.

McCartney did come back to the club, twice, as a solo act in 1999 and 2018.

The Canadian rock band Trooper was already on their fourth album when they released "Raise a Little Hell," and it became one of the standout hits that put them on the map.

"Raise a Little Hell" became the band's only successful single in the U.S. and the only one to ever enter the Billboard chart. It landed at No. 59, with the album subsequently going platinum in their home country. There's some history behind Trooper before the release of the track and the album Thick as Thieves.

Frontman and lead singer Ra McGuire started the history of the band in the 1960s with guitarist Brian Smith. They formed a band and were originally called Winter's Green before changing their name to AppleJack. The band largely performed in front of live crowds until they were spotted by musician Randy Bachman, who signed them to a label. Once signed, they shifted gears and became Trooper.

Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell" may have been released on their fourth album, but it has a much longer history with live audiences. The track was originally written almost a decade before it landed in the studio, while the band were still up-and-coming artists.

"Played this song in the first band that Smitty and I were in. Smitty and I are still together. Played it for probably 10 years before we recorded it. We were actually on our fourth album, and we were one song short. So we only had seven songs, and Randy Bachman, who was producing, said, 'Do you have anything else?' And we were all set up doing beds, which is just the music track," explained McGuire to Behind the Vinyl.

"So we got this old song we've been playing for years, and we close the show with it, and people seem to like it. He said, 'Well, run it through.' So we play it through once, and they're recording, and our keyboard player is like, 'Ugh, this song, no way, we can't. It's just too simple. It's only like, two chords for most of it'."

The keyboardist, Frank Ludwig, felt the track needed some more work, extra chords, or "make some modulation or something." McGuire reveals that it was Bachman who dismissed the hesitation and had them play it again, with the second time being the final recording. The frontman also admits that "Raise a Little Hell" went through a few lyric changes, but there was one issue.

Record stations refused to play the track during the day, claiming it was "too heavy," and relegated it to an after 6 p.m. time slot, which had the record label frantic. As a result, the record label re-released the track with "Round Round We Go" on the other side.

Radio stations ended up playing "Round Round We Go" during the day and "Raise a Little Hell" at night. McGuire chalked part of the radio stations' lack of wanting to play the track to its use of "hell" in the title, with the frontman revealing Bachman once wanted to change it to "howl." Despite initial reluctance, the track became known as a classic rock and arena rock staple.

Fans may recall having heard the track before, as it's been included in hit series like Call Me Fritz andStranger Things. It's even been in the films Gutterball, Drive Angry, and Bandit, as well as a popular sports anthem for the National Hockey League and Major League Baseball.

In-N-Out doesn't need publicity. Whether it's a classic Double-Double or a secret menu concoction, word has spread like a California wildfire about the insanely popular West Coast staple since its 1948 founding.

But there's another California burger chain with a cult-like following of its own — and it was just crowned the best burger in the country by USA Today, so you know its acclaimed Double Char has to deliver.

The Habit Burger & Grill has tapped a Food Network icon,Jet Tila, someone you've likely seen on Guy Fieri's competition shows, to amp up its menu.

The James Beard-recognized chef, known for his acclaimed Thai cuisine and frequent TV appearances, has teamed up with The Habit to go toe to toe with In-N-Out as the burger industry's new must-eat, something the more notable chain has never done to promote its famously simple menu.

Jet Tila is showcasing his signature Asian flair, presenting The Habit's new Korean BBQ Char Burger. His "Korean Street Menu" is available now through September 15, 2026 and won't be the only celeb-inspired selections as The Habit is reportedly allowing more famous faces to "bolster their menu" with eight-week residences.

Tila said, “With this menu, we pulled from the Korean street food flavors I loved eating as a kid: sweet heat, crispy texture, bold sauces and that perfect balance of savory, spicy and a little unexpected. Then we brought those flavors into Habit’s world with chargrilled burgers, crispy chicken, fresh produce and house-made ranch."

The start of the school year can be overwhelming. Your kids are about to take on new schedules, new after-school activities and probably new slang. To help make the transition a bit easier, it can be helpful to prepare before the school year starts.

But that is often easier said than done. So what systems can you set up over the summer that will actually stay in place during the school year?

To find out what back-to-school season prep is the most helpful for keeping kids of all ages organized, Parade turned to three professional organizers: Lenora O'Keith, professional organizer and owner of Aronel Homel; and Danica Carson and Cathy Orr, professional organizers and the Co-founders of The Uncluttered Life.

All three pro organizers shared a few tips that parents of young children can do before school starts, as well as what parents of teens can do before school starts. They also shared a few tips for daily and weekly routines to consider incorporating this school year, all designed to help keep your whole family organized.

Interestingly, all of their tips have a common thread: keep things simple.

There's no need to buy fancy home organizing bins or expensive smart calendars—just working with your kids on straightforward organization techniques can make enough of a difference. Keep reading for insight from O'Keith, Carson and Orr. Keep reading for their insights.

What You Should Do Before School Starts for Young Children, According to Professional Organizers

For schoolchildren ages 5 to 12, consider setting up these simple systems for a smooth start to the school year.

1. Set up a foyer drop station

"When you’re in a hurry to get out of the door, having a launchpad or drop zone in the entryway will help speed things up," explains O'Keith. "Every person in the family will have their own section for their shoes, jackets, backpack, purses, etc. Make sure everything is by the door and ready to go each night, so all you have to do is 'grab and go' on your way out in the morning."

"Every person in a household needs a drop station, frankly, but it’s especially helpful for kids," adds Carson. "Creating a drop station will also create the habit of putting things in the same place. This eliminates the last-minute panic of frantically searching the house. Their stuff will always be where they left it—in their drop station."

2. Store last-minute replacement items by the door

"Without fail, my son forgets his socks or sweatshirt on the days when we are already running behind," Carson says. So, she keeps spare versions of essentials like socks, sweatshirts, gloves and hats near her garage door.

"It significantly cuts down on the stress or frustration while also saving you those extra few minutes," she says. "When it comes to tardies, those few minutes can make or break your mornings."

3. Set up a paper drop zone

Orr recommends setting up a "paper drop station" where children can drop their permission slips and other papers that need to be signed. "Make things repeatable and easy," she advises.

"Paper is the root of a lot of visual clutter," adds O'Keith. "I recommend having a drop zone for all papers somewhere convenient that everyone in the home can use, then making it a daily habit to spend 5-10 minutes sorting through for anything important."

For your paper drop zone, O'Keith recommends using a small file box or an expanding file folder, with a different one for each kid.

4. Label everything

"As a professional organizer, I believe everyone should own a label maker," says O'Keith. "If your name is on it, you’ll always know it’s yours."

This is especially helpful for young kids, who might be more prone to misplacing items at school.

5. Talk with your kids before buying new items

Before replacing your children's clothes, backpacks or school supplies for the new school year, Orr recommends sitting down with your kids to talk about what they feel they have outgrown. Then, "purchase or repurpose as necessary." This helps reduce waste and save money, as well as gives your children some agency in how they will be starting their school year.

What You Should Do Before School Starts for Teenage Students, According to Professional Organizers

Here are some ideas for schoolchildren ages 13 to 18.

1. Set up a shared digital calendar

"As schedules become busier, digital organization becomes key," explains O'Keith. "Making sure everyone's calendars are synced and up to date is important so that key dates and events aren't missed."

Carson adds that a shared digital calendar allows every member of the family "to enter the event into the calendar at the exact moment the scheduling need arises. Even if they forget to tell you about it later, you’ll be prepared."

2. Change your teen's lock screen to show their schedule

"Setting your [teen 's] lock screen as a photo of [their] schedule for the first week makes such a big difference!" says Carson. "Not only will it help them memorize their routine, but it also reduces the stress of keeping track of a physical copy." This could involve their class schedule at school, as well as weekly extracurriculars.

3. Set up a solid study station

According to Orr, it's vital that teens have a good place to study and do their schoolwork.

"Include all the things they will need and make them readily available," she advises. "Provide good lighting and all their studying essentials. Include a study area that can also provide a place for snacks."

"Just like your desk or office at work, if your child or teen had a designated homework space, it should be free of clutter and distractions," adds O'Keith. "A clean, organized spot, will help them focus and makes it easier to get started and stay on task. It will also cut down on wasted time looking for supplies."

4. Set up an 'emergency kit' for your teen

"Establish an emergency kit so they have what they need," advises Orr. This could include school supplies, like extra pencils and erasers, as well as personal items like lip balm, hair ties, deodorant and menstrual hygiene products.

"This can then be put in their locker or backpack depending on their set up at school," she says.

Professional Organizers Recommend Following These Daily and Weekly Tips During the School Year1. Encourage kids to do a quick bedroom clean every evening

According to Carson, a quick nightly bedroom clean can do wonders in preventing an overwhelming mess.

"10 minutes of reset is a game changer for preventing monster-sized messes that stress everyone out," she explains. "The room doesn’t have to be perfect every single night. The reset is about making tomorrow easier by being able to easily find what you need or know where things are."

2. Do a backpack clean-out every Friday

All three pro organizers recommend a weekly backpack clean-out.

"Throw away any trash, organize any loose pens and papers, and repack everything in preparation for the coming week," says O'Keith. Interestingly, she recommends that parents do this with their own purses, briefcases or work bags alongside children doing it with their backpacks.

"Making this a shared part of your routine, even if it’s just 5 minutes, helps kids see it as a normal habit rather than a chore," she explains.

Ald though many people do backpack clean-outs on Sunday nights, Carson is a big advocate for doing them on Fridays.

"No matter how old your school-aged kid is, cleaning out their backpack every Friday is a great way to close out the week and prep for the upcoming week at the same time," says Carson. "I’d rather find that half-eaten sandwich from lunch on Friday rather than a moldy one on Sunday night. Sometimes you find crumpled-up papers that need your attention for the following week, as well."

Orr agrees—she also recommends "emptying backpacks at the end of each week, replenishing what’s been used, and especially looking for food that may have become lost at the bottom."

3. Always pick out outfits the night before

"Lay out clothes for the next day the night before," says Orr. "I used to go this with my daughter and it helped keep the morning routine on track." She adds that you can check tomorrow's weather forecast for your kids every evening before they choose their outfits.

Emeril Lagasse, one of Food Network’s biggest stars in the ’90s and 2000s, is back in the headlines for the best reason ever. The New Orleans chef endearingly dubbed the BAM! Man is all over social media right now, with clips of his live shows being shared millions of times and racking up millions of views.

According to The New York Times, no one is more surprised than the chef himself, whose team just discovered archived footage of Emeril Live!and Essence of Emerilis charming an entirely new generation of cooks and viewers online, particularly on X (formerly Twitter).

“I continue just to keep scratching my head,” Lagasse said about his viral status.

I’m trending on the internet? pic.twitter.com/dDU2uda0Kz

— Emeril Lagasse (@Emeril) July 24, 2026

Taking to X himself, Lagasse shared a post of his own, writing, “I’m trending on the internet?” He included a clever video that features himself watching his own trending clips while ABBA’s also newly trending song, “The Winner Takes It All,” plays in the background.

Over the video, Lagasse wrote, “POV: You find out you’re trending on the internet.”

Long before celebrity chefs became household names and dominated the small screen, Lagasse made cooking feel like a party. His signature catchphrases—“Bam!” “Oh, babe,” and “Kick it up a notch”—became part of the American lexicon, appearing everywhere from late-night comedy to commercials to sitcoms.

Lagasse is from the small town of Fall River in Massachusetts. But his chef’s career really got started in the early '80s when he moved to New Orleans and led the kitchen of the legendary Commander’s Palace, succeeding chef Paul Prudhomme. Eight years later, he opened his namesake restaurant, Emeril’s, on the city's historic Tchoupitoulas Street.

In 1993, Lagasse transitioned from executive chef to television host with his screen debut on Food Network’s How to Boil Water. Fans were so enchanted with his "essence" that he got his own signature program, Essence of Emeril, in 1994, followed by his breakout hit, Emeril Live!, in 1997.

The popularity of Emeril Live!is difficult to overstate. A massive cultural phenomenon, the series turned its spice-loving host into America’s first rock star chef. Touted as a cooking variety show,Emeril Live! had guest stars, a live jazz band, an electric studio audience, and record-breaking cable television ratings that saw its host “taking it up a notch” for a whole decade.

Now, 33 years later, fans, cooks, and social media users are discovering, rediscovering, and loving the je ne sais quoi swagger of Lagasse.  

In one of the viral posts the Times points out, Lagasse grates some potatoes while polling the audience on their love of starch, to which “a delirious audience delivers a resounding yes.” That post currently has 3.4 million views.

A spokeswoman for the chef told the paper that their team is not behind the postings. Instead, the outlet traced the roots of the viral post back to an automotive worker in Flint, Michigan, named Ryan Montalvo.

After noticing Lagasse’s clips in his YouTube feed, the nostalgia took over, so he shared the sentiment with his followers on X under the account @nachoeveryday.

This shit is electric https://t.co/WCNKbysw0D pic.twitter.com/aSb8vWj8ia

Telling the Times that he believes people are “Emeril-maxxing,” he added, “We’re reaching that point in the 25- or 30-year generation gap where people are going back to see what their parents were doing. Watching stuff like this online feels really good. It’s camaraderie around loving the same thing delivered by a real person.”

Comments on all the Emeril-maxxing posts range from calling him an American treasure to bragging about being one of the lucky audience members.

Today, the James Beard Award-winning chef/owner continues to oversee his restaurant empire, hosts cooking shows for Roku and Netflix, and continues to support his charitable organization, the Emeril Lagasse Foundation. His flagship New Orleans restaurant, Emeril’s, is now led day-to-day by his son, E.J. Lagasse.

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

If you’ve been looking for sandals that are dressy enough for an upcoming summer wedding but casual enough to wear with a denim skirt or sundress, Amazon is running an incredible deal on the Shibever Wedge Sandals. The black pair is just $8, down from $31, while the champagne, silver, and white options currently cost $27 to $28. Sizes range from 5 to 11, depending on the color.

These open-toe sandals feature a low wedge heel for a little extra height, along with a soft, cushioned footbed, a textured slip-resistant sole, and an elastic slingback strap that stretches around the ankle. The braided upper is finished with rhinestone accents, and the sandals have a polyurethane sole, a faux outer material, and a leather inner lining.

The rhinestones give these sandals enough shine for a cocktail dress or wedding-guest outfit, but the low wedge keeps them from looking too formal. You could also wear them with a denim skirt and a tank top, a breezy summer dress, or linen pants. If you opt for the black colorway, the darker hue makes the sparkle slightly more subtle than it would be on a metallic shoe, which helps them work for daytime plans as well as evening events. They’d also be easy to pack for a trip when you don’t want to bring separate shoes for every activity.  

One reviewer said, “These are gorgeous,” and added that they fit “like a slipper.” Shoppers also wore them for sightseeing, long walks, and even dancing, with several calling them “very comfortable.” The rhinestone straps earned praise for being “sparkly” and for making them the “perfect summer sandals,” although a few reviewers noted that the sandals lacked arch support.

Buying dressy shoes can be difficult to justify when you know they may only leave your closet a few times each year. This deal makes that much less of an issue, since the pair costs less than $10. Even if you only wear them to one wedding, a vacation dinner, and a few summer outings, the cost per wear would still be a steal.

With the black version marked down by 75%, now is an especially good time to grab the Shibever Wedge Sandals. You’d be getting a sparkly, cushioned low wedge for a fraction of what the other colors currently cost, so be sure to head to Amazon’s site while your size is still available for the price of a latte.

Honeycrisp apple is coming back to Caribou Coffee.

The chain will bring back its fall menu in coffeehouses nationwide on Thursday, Aug. 20, according to a press release shared with Parade. The Aug. 20 launch lands one day after Dunkin' opens its own pumpkin season.

What's Coming Back at Caribou

Six returning drinks are confirmed so far, split down the middle. On the pumpkin side: the Pumpkin White Mocha, made with white chocolate melted into steamed milk and finished with whipped cream and white chocolate chips; the Pumpkin Espresso Shaker, shaken with ice and topped with oatmilk; the Iced White Mocha with Pumpkin Cold Foam; and the Pumpkin Latte, dusted with ground nutmeg. The Mocha, the Shaker and the Latte are each made with real pumpkin.

The apple half brings back the Honeycrisp Apple Caramel Espresso Shaker and the Honeycrisp Apple Caramel High Rise Latte, both made with real caramel sauce.

Caribou Coffee operates more than 800 coffeehouses worldwide.

"Even if the calendar still says summer, our guests are already dreaming about fall," Carrie Sazama, Caribou's director of product, said in the release.

Why Honeycrisp Is the Hometown Pick

The apple is not a random choice for a chain that started in Minnesota in 1992. The University of Minnesota's breeding program released Honeycrisp in 1991, a year before Caribou opened its first coffeehouse. Minnesota named it the official state fruit in 2006.

It also fills a gap. Starbucks' fall lineup, runs on pumpkin, pecan, banana bread and a new cider-inspired Chaider, with no Apple Crisp drinks in sight.

Caribou says new beverages, seasonal food, packaged coffee and merchandise are still to be announced. Its free Caribou Perks program lets members earn points toward free drinks and food. For now the date is the news: Aug. 20, across more than 800 coffeehouses.
