Late one morning, at her family's home in Dallas, the model and influencer Nara Smith is serving her infant a meal made from scratch. This is what she's known for: Millions of people tune in to her TikTok to watch her whip up an "easy" snack like PB&J-homemade bread, homemade peanut butter, homemade jelly-which actually takes her several hours to make, plus editing time. Today's meal, though, is not so labor-intensive: She is nursing her eightweek-old baby, Whimsy Lou. Whimsy is her third child, and breastfeeding is second nature for Nara. Wearing a denim halter dress and no makeup, the 22-year-old is able to pop the infant onto her body and go about her day with the calm ease that, say, Patrick Mahomes might exude while idly tossing a football during a conversation.
"She's our easiest so far," Nara says, sitting down on the giant cream-colored sectional in the living room beside her husband, the supermodel Lucky Blue Smith, who has just turned 26 a few days earlier. (For Lucky's birthday, Nara dressed up in a sparkly gold tube dress and baked him his mother's chocolate cake recipe, and filmed it for Tik Tok.) "She just wants to hang out," Nara says, admiring the placid infant. "She's starting to smile a little bit."

Healthy Protein Can Help Shrink Your Gut - Being a trainer, bodybuilder, and nutrition expert means that companies frequently send me their products and ask for my stamp of approval.
Like my father always said, "What you put inside your body always shows up on the outside." One protein shake that I received, that will remain nameless, was touted as 'the next big shake' but really had a list of gut destroying ingredients. Everywhere I read I saw harmful artificial ingredients, added sugars, synthetic dyes, preservatives and cheap proteins; the kind of proteins that keep you fat no matter how hard you hit the gym, sap your energy and do nothing for your muscles.
