Jasmine Williams

Staff Writer, Jasmine Williams, covers a variety of topics from home decor to beauty and everything in between. She has bylines at Motherly, The Everymom, and Byrdie where she wrote about motherhood, beauty, health and relationships. Jasmine knew she wanted to be a writer when she realized she was actually interested in reading the articles in her mom's favorite magazines — and she may or may not have ripped her favorite articles out to study them later. When she's not working, you can find Jasmine playing make-believe with her toddler, spending an undisclosed amount of time in Target or TJ Maxx, and searching for a family-friendly puppy to add to her family.

February has been a great month for my bookshelf, between the books by black authors I've been reading and the new releases that have been rolling in. TBH, it's like someone knew January was the longest year ever and I needed a break. If you're looking for an escape from news so you can "well rest yourself" (minus Count Orlok from Nosferatu's creepy intentions), there are plenty of new books that are still debuting in February to pick up! From a new Jojo Moyes book to Chelsea Handler's latest memoir, here's what I'm most excited about reading!

        7 "Outdated" Coffee Orders Baristas Are Probably Judging You For
    
Meredith Holser
Mar 01, 2025
Just like fashion trends, coffee orders can quickly go out of style, and some drinks give serious early-2000s energy (ahem, Señorita Awesome’s PSL order). New flavors and innovations are constantly being made in the coffee world, rendering a lot of once-popular sips obsolete.
From overly-sweet concoctions to blends that have lost their edge, these 7 “outdated” coffee orders are practically begging for an upgrade. If your go-to drink feels stuck in the past, it might be time to shake things up and sip on something a little more current. (Luckily, there are some exciting new menu drops coming from our faves at Dunkin’ andStarbucks!)
