Famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue models through the years

This year, 81-year-old Martha Stewart has become the oldest model to cover Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. The lifestyle guru revealed the cover on the 'Today' show, which depicts her in a plunging one-piece bathing suit and a billowing orange cover-up. “I like that picture,” Stewart said with a laugh, admitting it was “odd” to be photographed in swimwear “in front of all those people,” but it “turned out OK.” The celebrity chef told the magazine, “Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age.” Stewart is joined by the likes of actress Megan Fox, musician Kim Petras, TV host Padma Lakshmi, and more. In this gallery, we travel back in time and bring you some of the cover models through the years, ever since the first issue was published in 1964, until today. Click on!

Rituals you need to practice for new moon manifestation

As the closest planet to Earth, the moon has fascinated stargazers for centuries. The curious magnetic pull the moon has on the tides is an example of the potentially powerful effect the wider cosmos has on our experience, and how we are connected to a bigger universe. When we're in a new moon phase, the lunar landscape is barely (if at all) visible from Earth. Just as we plant seeds in the darkness of the soil, providing a safe place for them to grow, so too can we help manifest our desires into existence using the supportive energy of the new moon, giving them space to expand. Intrigued? Click through the gallery to discover the rituals you need to practice for new moon manifestation.

These Insanely Helpful Garden Plants Keep the Mosquitoes Away

Say goodbye to the outdoor pests. Bugs come with the territory when you’re outdoors, but some are more tolerable than others. If it feels like mosquitoes are invading your yard, it’s understandable to want to do what you can to get rid of them. Enter mosquito repellent plants. Here’s the thing: Experts say that the best way to keep mosquitoes at bay is to use personal repellents recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But if you want to go a more natural route, you may be interested in selecting certain plants—they’re just not necessarily guaranteed to work as well as a spray. “The idea that planting certain plants around your home will successfully repel mosquitoes is only supported by anecdotal evidence and not empirical evidence,” says Eva Buckner, Ph.D., assistant professor and state extension specialist at the University of Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory. It’s important to note, though, that there is some evidence that certain plants may help discourage certain mosquitoes from setting up camp in your yard—they just don’t work as well as a chemical or spray. If it feels like your outdoor space is a haven to mosquitoes, it’s a good idea to “eliminate mosquito breeding grounds on and around your property by draining standing water from flowerpots, birdbaths, grill covers, baby pools, and other sources,” says Jim Fredericks, Ph.D., board-certified entomologist and senior vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Using a small fan outside may also help keep mosquitoes away since “they are not strong flyers,” Fredericks says. But if you like the look and smell of certain plants and want to see if they keep the mosquitoes away, too, there’s no reason not to try them. These are the plants fans swear are most likely to help get rid of mosquitoes. Snap up one or a few to enhance your outdoor space.
