17 Things You Should Do Right Now
You’ll feel a million times better, I swear.
Check your voicemail.
Yes it's scary and annoying and nobody wants to do it but when it's done, it's done.
While you're at it, you might want to change your voicemail greeting.
Especially if you haven't done so since Obama was elected.
Book that appointment you've been putting off.
Until they invent self-flossing teeth, you should probably just suck it up and go.

What’s your wallpaper on your phone and/or computer?
One of my screens is me and my boyfriend, and another one is me and my best friend.
When you walk into a bar, what do you typically order?
It depends if I want to party or if I want to be a classy lady. If I want to be a classy lady I’ll order red wine, and if I want to party I’ll order tequila.
What’s the one word you’re guilty of using too often?
My boyfriend just said that I use “right” all the time. Like, “It’s cold outside, right?”
What’s the last thing that you searched for on Google?
Well, I was looking at SoulCycle classes this morning. Before that, I was looking at baked eggs recipes. I’ve never made baked eggs, and I’ve been so jet-lagged, waking up at 3 in the morning, I wanted to make a good breakfast.
Who’s the last person that called or texted you?
My boyfriend.
What was the last awkward situation you were in, and how did you handle it?
Oh god. I actually really don’t know.
When is the last time you went to a theater?
It’s been a while — maybe, like, four months ago?
What TV show should everyone be watching?
I don’t really watch TV that much, but I just started watching The Americans, and I absolutely love it.
What’s your TV guilty pleasure?
Fashion Police or Millionaire Matchmaker.
What’s the first CD you bought?
I think it was like JLo, “Jenny from the Block.” We didn’t have CDs in Russia! By the way, I have to say that was great — was it On the Train, On the 6, or something? I listened to it the other day, and it was awesome!
What’s the one food you can’t resist?
Sweet potato French fries.
What music are you currently listening to?
I’m such a big fan of JLo and I love hip-hop. Jay Z, you can’t go wrong with him.
What movie makes you laugh the most?
I don’t really know about the movie, but I can tell you a TV show. I think 30 Rock is the most hilarious show ever. I laugh like an idiot when I’m watching it because I have a really weird sense of humor and that show just fits perfectly with it.
What drives you absolutely crazy?
I hate when people bite their nails and try to flick them. I hate that sound. I also hate when guys don’t open doors for you, it’s the most unattractive thing ever.
Kittens or puppies?
Puppies.
New York or Los Angeles?
Both.
Comedy or drama?
Comedy.
Bacon or Nutella?
Bacon.
’80s or ’90s?
’80s.
Hannah Montana or Lizzie McGuire?
Neither.
Tell us a secret.
On the set of The Face, I grilled salmon and asparagus every single day for lunch for a month. The crew asked me what I wanted to order, and I always said grilled salmon and asparagus from the exact same place — I craved it constantly.
The Face premieres tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5 at 10pm ET on Oxygen. You can read more about Anne in the latest issue of DuJour Magazine.

Graphic by Chris Ritter / Photos by Macey Foronda
Serves 4
Recipe by Rebekah Peppler
INGREDIENTS
1 lb spaghetti
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup frozen corn
1 cup shaved ricotta, divided

Add 1 cup frozen corn kernels and cook until the corn is thawed and warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta, 3/4 cup shaved ricotta salata and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with basil ribbons and an additional ¼ cup shaved ricotta salata.

16 Social Theories And Relationship Rules From “How I Met Your Mother”
Kindle
How I Met Your Mother celebrates its legen-(wait-for-it)-dary 200th episode Monday night. Here’s to all of the awesome stuff they’ve taught us about bro-ships, love, and life.
The Three Days Rule
Overview: You have to wait three days from receiving a number to call the person.
Theoretical Origin: Jesus invented the three days rule by waiting three days between his death and resurrection. According to Barney, “If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, “Hey Jesus, what up?” and Jesus would probably be like, “What up? I died yesterday!” and they'd be all, “Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude…” and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like “Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro…”
Validity Score: [10/10] This theory draws from the fundamental age old question: WWJD (What would Jesus do?)
Via how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.com
The Hot/Crazy Scale
Overview: A person is allowed to be crazy, as long as they are equally hot. A graph is used to display someone's hot-to-crazy ratio. Ideally, you want your date to be above the diagonal line, indicating that they are hotter than they are crazy.
Validity Score: [6/10] The widespread relevance of this theory depends on the mental stability and shallowness of a dater. But, no one maintains the psyche to put up with loose canons for too long (see: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Regardless of how hot a date may be, waiting anxiously for them to become unhinged eventually takes a toll on one's brain/body/apartment/life.
Via how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.com
The Lemon Law
Overview: From the moment a date begins, you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to commit to an entire evening. If you don't, there are no hard feelings and no repercussions.
Practical Origin: Some U.S. state laws provide a remedy for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods in order to compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance.
Validity Score: [2/10] While this might save people a lot of time and misery, it's grossly inhumane.
Via how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.com
The No Questions Asked Rule
Overview: Fulfilling a request for a friend without making inquiries about the request's potentially shady nature. In exchange for doing the request without making further reference to the incident, friends earn their own opportunity to impose their unquestioned requests in the future.
Validity Score: [6/10] This is such a practical rule to impose. Just imagine: “I need you to go buy me a burrito right now, NO QUESTIONS ASKED,” or something else a little more sketchy. The problem is actually finding acquaintances who aren't interested enough to ask you so many/any questions about everything. Those are rare breeds.

Peter Capaldi’s “Doctor Who” Ensemble Is Revealed!

Dapper or Dapper?
It might seem tame at first, but let's not discount that sharp cardigan and epic red lining.
And Peter himself seems to be thrilled about it, “He's woven the future from the cloth of the past. Simple, stark, and back to basics. No frills, no scarf, no messing, just 100 per cent Rebel Time Lord.”
And tbh his most important accessory seems to be this slight, yet effective pelvic thrust.
