Basically how I think I look every morning 😘

In the latest episode for my series with @time, I interviewed Kelsey - who is a 26-year-old nurse at a hospital in New York City. Kelsey spoke to me about the pressure and trauma she's facing working on a 100% positive COVID unit. PS: I actually met Kelsey through her mom, Pam who is a Wake-Up Call subscriber and wrote to me about the work her daughter was doing and how proud of Kelsey she was. ❤️

I want to wholeheartedly thank everyone @preventionmag for giving me the opportunity to share some of my experience dealing with #anxiety & #panicattacks. I’m not afraid of any stigma because I own it, I live it & honesty, thrive in it. You’re not alone. Spoiler alert, the answer is simply talking about it. We don’t need to suffer in silence anymore. I’ll have more next week on @todayshow.

Now that you’ve conquered bread-making at home, we’ve got a weekend project for you. If your go-to loaf of bread is fluffy white bread, this milk bread recipe has your name written all over. It's light as air with a slight sweetness. This pillowy soft, sandwich bread (shokupan) is a beloved breakfast staple in Japan and is typically eaten sliced very thick, lightly toasted, and served with accompaniments like butter and jam. Grab the full recipe at the link in bio!👆🏼📷: Marcus Nilsson

COVID-19 updates for Thursday, April 16.

Today’s slo-mo session theme: something old, something new, something borrowed, something bruised.

Wow! Super amazing memories! I did 2 remixes for one of my favorite songs ever, “If I Ain’t Got You.” One was with my brother @usher (y’all remember that?) and the other was with my brother Kanye. ⁣ ⁣ To me the Kanye version is a secret treasure and I wanted to bring it back for you! Hear the whole song on my YouTube channel💜💜💜 #ThrowbackThursday

| Sound on 👆🏼| Just a few weeks ago we shared a video of @marthastewart48’s newly-hatched goslings. Now look how big they are! “Can you believe those tiny goslings are almost teenagers in two weeks!!! First day outside the coop and away from the heat lamp. A bit clumsy but beautiful.” - Martha | regram via @marthastewart48

Beautiful.❤️Yanira Soriano met her baby boy for the first time after battling #covid19. Yanira had COVID-19 pneumonia earlier this month and had to be put in a medically induced coma as well as on a ventilator. She was on the ventilator for 11 days before her baby boy was delivered via c-section. Her baby was released in good health and tested negative for COVID-19.

NEW STORY “SHE LOVES ME... “ in blog now #linkinbio

Today on #homeschoolwithmartha, photo director @mesiryan shows us how to repair broken pottery using the Japanese art of kintsugi. “I’ve been making pottery for over ten years and I’ve broken a lot of pots. Here’s how I repair my broken pottery using natural lacquer dusted with powdered gold. As you can see, we’re not hiding our imperfections, we’re embracing them!” he says. Visit our Stories to get the full step-by-step, and visit the link in bio to learn more about the art of kintsugi. 👆🏼

I love this! Captain Tom Moore aimed to raise £1,000 by completing 100 laps of his 82-foot Bedfordshire garden by Thursday, his 100th birthday. He’s raised over 7 million pounds (equivalent of over $9 million dollars) for NHS, the National Health Service in the UK. He plans to do another 100 laps. "When you think of who it is all for - all those brave and super doctors and nurses we have got - I think they deserve every penny, and I hope we get some more for them too." said the Army veteran. Love you Captain Tom!😊❤️ And thanks to my friend @henriettaconrad for telling me about this story! 😘 Story via @goodnews_movement 📹: @telegraph

That time @aaronjawshomoki and I “skated” in a @gozerog parabolic flight. I liked partial gravity better than zero gravity by the end of it, since you knew which was was up. We laughed until we cried... and then Jaws puked. 🛹🚀🤮

From beginning conversations with Wally Lamb about adapting #IKnowThisMuchIsTrue in 2015 to putting finishing touches on the series remotely from our homes now, there's so much love and care that has gone into this project. It’s exactly what I want to do — tell the truth about human beings in a way that brings us together and doesn’t tear us apart. Thank you @variety for chatting with me and the team about it. Read the full story at the link in my bio.

COVID-19 updates for Wednesday, April 15th

‘won’t say i’m in love’ tomorrow #DisneyFamilySingalong 8/7c @abcnetwork 🖤🎙

What day is it? Thursday? Is it time for a throwback? It’s not Thursday? Is it a week day at least? Close enough. Throwback to doing press for “The Class” on CBS (2006) with @jonnybernthal & @iamseanmaguire.

Layer cake, cupcakes, or loaf cake? The possibilities are many, but all are oh so sweet. One basic batter makes all these and more. Get the recipe at the link in bio and bake whichever treat you fancy! 👆🏼

Thanks @dwyanewade for the gift I’m gonna sit and enjoy this. Congrats man you are doing amazing things. From the Chi to Napa to the World!

You know it’s a LOCKDOWN when I (!!!) am coloring Easter eggs. Haven’t done this since the third grade. They didn’t arrive in time for Easter and we didn’t want to wait til next year!

Always challenge yourself! 👌For me it's time to study 🤓

#FacesOfCovid: John "Jack" Ahrens died on Good Friday in his bed in Newton, Massachusetts just a few days after testing positive for Covid-19. Jack was a vibrant and curious 96-year-old (nearly 97!) who had an appreciation and respect for life that only strengthened with age. A self-proclaimed pacifist, he spent over two years in the Navy enduring some of World War II's most notorious battles (including D-DAY). He returned home deeply committed to creating and supporting peace on a local and global scale. Jack was open-mind beyond his years. He possessed an incredible level of patience and presence that made for an avid gardener, loyal friend, and deeply adored father. Jack rarely went a few hours without laughter and was always available for play, guidance or deep conversation! He was affectionately known to his 8 grand-children as "Bop Bop" and was so invested in his family that he would stay on for 3 more years after the passing of his beloved bride, Lois, to whom he was married for a blissful 67 years. He even started taking piano lessons for the first time, at age 94. During the final days of Jack's life, he was tended to by some of the most courageous, selfless and loving caregivers. They risked their health and safety simply to ensure that Jack was comfortable and that all of his beloved family could express their thanks and love on FaceTime. Particularly a man named Jason Last, who treated Jack as his own grandfather, coming in on his days off,  holding his hands and crying along with Jack's family... all of whom were aching because they could not be at his side.  Jason and Jack met four days before his death. They made heaven a place on earth during a dark time. Rest In Peace, Jack. You were deeply loved and you mattered. ❤️

In today’s episode of “dress for your mood” I’m wearing an outfit fit for a maiden virgin a la Disney’s 1967 The Gnome-mobile, which I dreamed I was in last night. I was a gnome maiden being chased by a spritely man through the redwood forest. #scary #sexy Also please accept this rose as an apology for this dumb story. #springsprung

Easy to prepare and nourishing, this straightforward, family-friendly soup recipe uses boneless chicken thighs and white rice. Ready in just an hour, it doesn't need to simmer all day for a full flavor that gets a little extra panache when topped with sharp, grated cheese.

Heartbreaking.💔 Healthcare workers around the globe are not only risking their lives for us but are also having to sacrifice so much at home. Naser you are a hero.
