3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Yumna Jawad/Feel Good Foodie

“These babies will keep in your freezer for up to three months, if you have that kind of willpower. I don’t.”

Katherine Gillen, recipe tester

You want cookies and you want them, well, yesterday. Behold, these peanut butter cookies—courtesy of Feel Good Foodie blogger Yumna Jawad—require a mere three (3!) ingredients and take 20 minutes total to make.

This recipe is already naturally dairy- and gluten-free, but Jawad says you can try making the cookies vegan with a flax egg (combine one tablespoon flaxseed with two tablespoons water and letting it rest for five minutes). You can also try swapping the peanut butter for another nut butter, because why not?

Katherine’s Review of the Cookies:

These cookies hold true to their 20-minute promise—it was stupid-easy to mix the dough, with the added benefits of needing one bowl and no stand mixer. The recipe calls for using a no-sugar-added peanut butter, but I had exactly enough of my regular-ole Jif (with sugar) to make a batch, so I felt compelled to wing it. The cookies turned out absolutely fine albeit slightly sweet, so I think you could either heed the advice in the recipe or perhaps add a ½ teaspoon of salt to the batter if you want to use standard peanut butter (or, even better, sprinkle the freshly baked cookies with flaky salt
later

I didn’t try the recipe with it, but I could see almond butter being a fine substitute, too. And while the recipe calls for baking the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, mine needed a minute or 2 more to be fully set.

Oh, and these babies will keep in your freezer for up to three months, if you have that kind of willpower. I don’t.

Who Is Henry Golding’s Wife, Liv Lo?

Did you know that Henry Golding is a husband and father? While he may play a heartthrob on the big screen, the handsome actor is also happily married to his wife, Liv Lo. But who exactly is Henry Golding’s wife? Here’s everything we know about his other half, including details on their baby.

<code><p class = "instagram-media">https://www.instagram.com/p/BcWp1ZOlaIt/?utm_source=ig_embed\u0026amp;utm_campaign=loading</p></code>

1. Who Is Henry Golding’s Wife, Liv?

The 38-year-old was born and raised in Taichung, Taiwan. Her mother is Taiwanese and her biological father is Italian. “The truth is I AM TAIWANESE and I am a third culture kid,” she recently revealed on her Facebook page. “I was raised in a bilingual household in Taichung until 17 and hold a Taiwanese passport. My biological father didn’t raise me — in fact, I have never met him. My Dad, surname Lo, is from Hong Kong and raised us bilingually because they wanted a bigger world for our family.”

Like her 36-year-old husband, Lo is no stranger to being in front of the camera. She is a TV host for Fox Movies Asia and also created her own workout program called FitSphere, that offers video tutorials combining yoga and high-intensity interval training.

<code><p class = "instagram-media">https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HdPTHArig/?utm_source=ig_embed\u0026amp;utm_campaign=loading</p></code>

2. Where Did She Meet Henry?

The pair began dating in 2011 after locking eyes on a night out. But it was Lo who made the first move.

“We were in a club on New Year’s Eve and I saw her from afar and she was this wildcat,” Golding revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan. “Halfway through the night…she steps in my way and she says, ‘Why haven’t you said hello to me yet? I’m leaving tomorrow and you’re never going to see me again—what are you going to do about it?’” Talk about a kickass move.

“Don’t you just love it when a woman just punches you in the face?” Golding said. “It’s hot when a girl takes you by the collar.”

The duo went out for brunch the next day. But Lo lived in Tokyo at the time, and Golding lived in Singapore, so they dated long distance for a while, proving that it can work.

3. When Did They Get Engaged?

Of course the rom-com star gave Lo a magical proposal. Speaking with Her World in 2018, Lo revealed that Golding popped the question on their fourth anniversary.

“We were on holiday in Phuket,” she said. “We had the best day riding on motorbikes to temples, finding secret beaches and eating spicy Thai food.” Lo then explained how Golding pulled out all the stops.

“He had booked a restaurant at sunset that ‘just so happened’ to have a string quartet playing and was serving champagne on arrival. But, I just thought he was being romantic as it was our anniversary,” Lo said. “However, we took a stroll on the rocks and he proposed at the magic hour. Unforgettable.”

Honestly? We’re not surprised.

4. When Did They Get Married?

The same article that gave us the juicy details about the romantic proposal also revealed that Golding and Lo got married at the Cove 55 resort in Sarawak, Malaysia on August 20, 2016.

And it sounds like the couple are as in love as ever. “My wife is the best woman in the whole universe,” Golding told People. “She’s so strong, she’s extremely loyal, independent. I wouldn’t be able to do it without her, so it’s wonderful to be able to have this success, but also, it’s wonderful to be able to share it with her.”

<code><p class = "instagram-media">https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTwMsfBpia/?utm_source=ig_embed\u0026amp;utm_campaign=loading</p></code>

5. Do They Have Any Children?

They sure do. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2021.

On April 5, 2021, the duo revealed the exciting news in separate Instagram posts. “This woman right here. Beyond anything, I could have ever imagined,” the Crazy Rich Asians star captioned his post featuring a black-and-white image of the couple and their newborn. “Your strength brought us our greatest joy. Thank you, I love you.”

They first revealed they were expecting back in November 2020, when Golding shared a sweet Instagram slideshow of himself and his pregnant wife accompanied by the caption, “2021 is already looking brighter.”

Lo also shared the news in her own series of posts (including one featuring her bare baby bump). “Such immense joy this little one has brought us already. Now we get to share it with you. We love you!” she wrote in one post, adding in another, “Here’s the kicker boy or girl?”

<code><figure class = "wp-block-embed-youtube">https://www.youtube.com/embed/_9xVZAKiJPo?start=180</figure></code>

6. What’s Their Relationship Like IRL?

Lo and Golding seem to have a great sense of humor—especially when you see what happened when Golding asked her to appear in a video.

“It was a beautiful sunset, I think I was filming in Vancouver so she was visiting me and we went for a walk together,” he told Jimmy Fallon.“And there are these dandelions that you blow and make wishes. I was like, ‘Babe, I’m going to get this in slow-mo. Just make a beautiful wish of whatever you want in life.’”

Sounds sweet, right? But things didn’t quite go as planned—at least not as she planned. Watch the funny clip above and see for yourself.

Here’s How to Make the ‘Jennifer Aniston Salad’ That’s Taken Over TikTok

Are you the type of person who needs to try a new recipe every. single. day, or are you convinced you could eat the same lunch for weeks on end and never tire of it? (We’re definitely in the latter camp, and in case you’re wondering, it’s a kale Caesar.) As it turns out, we’re in good company: Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow used to eat the same salad every day for lunch while they were filming Friends. Naturally, social media did its thing and tried to figure out just what salad Aniston was a fan of—and one specific recipe took off on TikTok.

Jennifer Aniston has since spoken out and revealed that the viral recipe below is not in fact what she ate while filming Friends. During an interview with Shape, Aniston said, “I’m sorry, I feel like I’m disappointing everybody, but that’s not my salad. It looks delicious, but it’s not the salad that I had on Friends.”*

Denial aside, the dish has still been dubbed by TikTokers as “The Jennifer Aniston Salad.”

<code><figure class = "wp-block-embed-youtube">https://www.youtube.com/embed/2XRkc2n4Xws</figure></code>

PureWow creator Juliette tested the recipe on a recent episode of Celeb Bites (see above to learn how to recreate it at home).

And bloggers like Erin Perry of Ice Cream and Neon Dreams and other influencers have created their own riffs on Aniston’s famous salad. The one that originally went viral is from TikTok user @themodernnonna, aka Sneji Andreeva of the food blog The Modern Nonna.

<code><p class = "tiktok-embed">https://www.tiktok.com/@themodernnonna/video/7053493259053649157</p></code>

In a post, Andreeva explained that she made a few adjustments to the recipe—while it normally calls for chickpeas, she leaves them out but adds lemon juice and olive oil. Since it’s a grain salad (read: lettuce-free and wilt-resistant), this would be an ideal make-ahead recipe for meal-prepping and packed lunches.

And just like that, our kale Caesar has been dethroned.

Everything We Know About Taylor Swift’s Cats

Taylor Swift not only starred in the movie Cats, but the “Anti-Hero” singer is also a huge fan of the cuddly felines. From references in her songs to appearances in her documentary, Miss Swift has made her love of cats apparent, and she proudly embraces the “cat lady” aesthetic (even selling cat-covered items in her merch store).

But, how many cats does Taylor Swift actually have? And is it true that one of them is worth nearly $100 million? (Spoiler alert: yes.) Here’s everything you need to know about her furry companions. 

1. Taylor Swift Has Three Cats

Swift’s three cats are named Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.

She named her first Scottish Fold cat after the main character, Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo), from hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Swift is such a fan of the show that she even asked Pompeo to make a cameo in her “Bad Blood” music video. 

The singer got a second Scottish Fold kitty in 2014 and named it after yet another TV character: Olivia Benson (played by Mariska Hargitay) from the crime-drama Law & Order: SVU. Hargitay also made an appearance in Swift’s “Bad Blood” video.

And just in case you couldn’t guess: Benjamin Button is named after Brad Pitt’s character in the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Sadly, Pitt has yet to appear in any of Swift’s music videos. 

2. And They Look Like “Little Lazy Bears”

“My cats are beautifully round and fuzzy and they look like little lazy bears—they’re always taking naps,” Swift said at the premiere of Cats. Even people who swear they’re not “cat people” have to admit they sound pretty cute.

<code><figure class = "wp-block-embed-youtube">https://www.youtube.com/embed/FuXNumBwDOM</figure></code>

3. All Three of Her Cats Make a Cameo in the “Me!” Music Video

In fact, Benjamin Button was adopted on set after Swift fell totally head over paws heels for the sweet feline.  

Taylor revealed she adopted the cat while recording the music video with Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco. 

“[The handler] handed me this tiny cat and he just starts purring and…he looks at me like, ‘You’re my mom, and we’re going to live together.’ I fell in love. I looked at Brendon and he’s like, ‘You’re going to get the cat, aren’t you?’” she explained.

You can see Meredith and Oliva lounging on the sofa in the video above at the 00:24 mark, while Benjamin makes an appearance around 2:10. 

4. Swift Has a Special Cat Backpack for Her Pets and You Can, Too

One of the most captivating images from Swift’s Netflix documentary Miss Americana was the singer walking down the aisle of her private jet donning cutoff denim shorts and a cat backpack. Note: This wasn’t a cat-shaped or paw-printed bag. This astronaut-esque pack is specifically designed for carrying cats. And this Taylor Swift-approved carrier can be yours for just $50. Look at you, living like a pop star (well, at least Mr. Jingles is).

<code><figure class = "wp-block-embed-youtube">https://www.youtube.com/embed/FuXNumBwDOM</figure></code>

5. Swift’s Cat Olivia Is Worth $97 Million (Yes, Really)

Speaking of living like a pop star—Swift’s cat Olivia sure knows what it’s like to have a celeb net worth. According to the 2022 Pet Rich List, the nearly-ten-year-old feline is the third richest pet in the world, with a net worth of $97 million.

Due to her appearances in ads for companies like AT&T and Diet Coke, her cameos in Swift’s music videos, as well as other endorsements, Olivia has racked up quite an impressive worth. On the Pet Rich List, she sits behind a German shepherd owned by the Gunther Corporation named Gunther VI (who is worth $500 million) and Nala Cat (who is reportedly worth $100 million). And right behind Olivia are Oprah Winfrey’s five dogs.

This Blake Lively Boxed Mac and Cheese Hack Is Ingenious (and Very Cheesy)

You know how boxed macaroni and cheese sounds amazing, but when you actually go to make it, the results don’t hold up to what you remember? We might’ve just found the solution, thanks to, uh, Blake Lively. The Gossip Girl alum recently shared her secret in an Instagram story, and let’s just say her mac and cheese hack involves four types of cheese.

@blakelively/Instagram

“This is not an ad. I’m mac & cheese passionate. This is so damn good,” Lively wrote in her Story, referring to the Goodles Twist My Parm box on her counter. (FYI, Goodles is a new brand of boxed mac and cheese from Gal Gadot that claims to have more protein and probiotics than traditional boxes.) The Savages star’s secret? According to Lively, she tosses the box recipes out the window. “Instead: add a heavy splash of whole milk,” she advised. “Mix in the cheese powder. 1/3 block of cream cheese. And two big handfuls of fresh grated sharp cheddar and/or a hard goat cheese of Gouda. I like to mix all 3. Enjoyyyyyy.”

@blakelively/Instagram
<code><figure class = "wp-block-embed-youtube">https://www.youtube.com/embed/oiJCVk1L7lM</figure></code>

We’ve never met a macaroni and cheese recipe that was made worse by adding more cheese, so this all checks out. But just to be sure, we enlisted PureWow creator Juliette to remake the creation on the latest episode of Celeb Bites (see above). Keep scrolling for more details on Lively’s “recipe.”

A turtleneck will always be a staple for winter, so it’s no surprise this one is a best seller on Madewell. It’s crafted with a merino wool blend that makes it super soft and comfy on the skin. Its cropped design, meanwhile, lets you rock it with jeans, leggings or a nice pair of flare pants. “This sweater is so soft and the cut is so stylish and perfect with high-waisted pants.

Our holiday wishlist always has a tote and this best seller is a winner in our books. This fine leather accessory is 13 inches tall and 14 inches wide, which makes it large enough to fit your laptop. The long strap also makes it easier to lay on your shoulder. Plus, the bag comes with an interior zip pocket to keep your important necessities (i.e. your phone, wallet and keys) safe. “I’ve had this bag for about four years. I’ve carried it pretty much every day filled with lots of heavy law books. I thought it would eventually break because the straps do look thin, but it hasn’t even gotten close. Still looks as amazing and sturdy as ever. Will probably buy another one in a new color sometime soon. I highly recommend!!!” raves one reviewer.

When it comes to sweaters, we can’t think of a better pick than this machine-washable pullover made of an acrylic, wool and polyamide blend—especially since it’s not scratchy. “This [turtleneck] sweater is so soft and comfy. I own a few Madewell sweaters, but the rest are pretty itchy. This one I never want to take [this one] off!” one buyer on Madewell explains.

Beanies make great gifts, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to snag a few to give out this season. You’ll want one for yourself, too, since this one’s made of a super soft and machine-washable recycled cotton and polyester blend, which will keep your head and ears warm. “It is hard for me to find beanies that don’t have a ton of extra material flopping around on the top, this one fits nice and snugly without being too tight or looking small. The material [also] feels durable, and the colors are beautiful,” one Madewell customer adds.

A cozy, oversized scarf you can wrap around your body (it’s 74 inches long and 30 inches wide) will come in handy all season long, whether you’re working from home, chilling at your friend’s house or taking a long drive. Take it from this one happy buyer: “I definitely didn’t need another scarf, but this is so soft and lovely. I justified buying it because my office is already starting to feel like the Arctic…[Plus it’s] easy to layer nicely and seems well made.” Sounds like it could make a great gift, too.

Huge Deal Alert: The Always Pan Sale Is Happening Right Now (and Our Place Is Selling It for Under $100)

It’s no secret that we’re a little (more like massively) obsessed with the Our Place Always Pan. Mainly because when we reviewed it, we discovered that the multitasking skillet was designed for the home cook to the T (i.e., it’s sturdy—yet not too heavy—it’s easy to clean and just the right size to store in kitchen cabinets without hogging the space). Also, the fact that the ceramic-coated, nontoxic and scratch-resistant pan replaced our fry pan, sauté pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan and nonstick pan was a huge plus. So, of course, when we heard that Our Place was having an Always Pan sale (starting at $95), we had to scream it from the rooftops. Not just that, but the entire site is up to 45 percent off right now (no coupon code needed).

This means you can also scoop up buyers’ favorite Perfect Pot (currently on sale for $115 from $165) and the mini and cast iron versions of the Always Pan for under $115 each. Just a tip: Don’t wait to shop. These cult favorites sell out fast, so whether you plan on treating yourself or gifting them to someone else for the holidays, carve out some time today to score on this massive deal.

Need help finding the best one? We recommend these five best-sellers below.

1. Our Place Always Pan

Meet your new dream skillet. It’s incredibly versatile, thanks to its nonstick and nontoxic surface, multi-cooktop compatibility and lightweight construction (it weighs three pounds). Each pan also comes with a custom spatula that fits right onto the handle’s built-in spoon rest and a handy steamer basket that will come in handy for all sorts of sides.

“It really is nonstick, cooks evenly and is so easy to clean! I even boxed up my previous pots and pans and put them in the garage because I use it all the time,” one reviewer on Our Place shares. (P.S. the pan is also available in mini and cast iron versions for those interested in saving even more space and expanding the pan’s versatility.)

2. Our Place Perfect Pot

https://www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0lNTkJHRUVHTUtCR0ZMTUVN?sid=Always%20Pan%20Sale&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fperfect-pot%3Fvariant%3D40452807164098

The Perfect Pot also holds a special place in our hearts, simply because it does the work of many pots, all while looking gorgeous on our countertops. Needless to say, it’s the pot to end all pots, featuring a slippery nontoxic coating that keeps food (like noodles and veggies) from sticking to it. Plus, it’s oven-safe for up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. But don’t just take our word for it: “I love this pot so much!” one buyer on Our Place raves. “I love that the wooden spoon [that it comes with] fits perfectly on the handle, and it’s all very easy to clean. I also love how easy it is to drain the water when making pasta.” (Psst…you can also buy a mini version of the pot if you’re short on space.)

3. Our Place Knife Trio

https://www.pntrs.com/t/TUJGR0lNTkJHRUVHTUtCR0ZMTUVN?sid=Always%20Pan%20Sale&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fknife-trio-bundle%3Fvariant%3D40456679424194

These three knives were designed to cover all the bases, from helping you effortlessly chop veggies to slicing meats and dicing fruits. That’s because they have premium German stainless steel blades and feature safety storage sheaths for better grip control so that you can cut with confidence. One shopper on Our Place adds, “These [knives] are an absolute dream to use with and really can be used for anything I need, as well as looking gorgeous in my kitchen. I’ve always thought I was pretty good with my knife skills, but these make it easy to be great at it!”

4. Our Place Walnut Cutting Board

https://www.pntrac.com/t/TUJGR0lNTkJHRUVHTUtCR0ZMTUVN?sid=Always%20Pan%20Sale&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fwalnut-cutting-board%3Fvariant%3D40069918195906

Whether you’ve been looking for an equally gorgeous and durable charcuterie board or cutting on the counter isn’t working anymore, buyers say you’ll be happy with this pick crafted from American black walnut wood. “This is not only a beautiful cutting board, but even more, it makes a perfect background for bread and crackers as I use it with my charcuterie plates,” one reviewer on Our Place explains. It also has a groove on its edge that collects juices, and when you flip it over, it’s completely flat, which will prove to be useful when you’re serving food during the holidays.

5. Our Place Container Collection

https://www.pjtra.com/t/TUJGR0lNTkJHRUVHTUtCR0ZMTUVN?sid=Always%20Pan%20Sale&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffromourplace.com%2Fproducts%2Fcontainer-collection%3Fvariant%3D42403015655618

Speaking of stuff you’ll want to have on hand this holiday season, these stain-resistant glass containers will be your go-to for storing all kinds of leftovers (because there are always leftovers). More impressively, they’re microwavable, oven-safe and stackable to save space.

PSA: You Can Get a Barefoot Dreams Throw for $52 Right Now for Cyber Monday 2022

Barefoot Dreams Luxe Heathered Stripe Throw Blanket

If there’s one blanket you’ll want to score for the house this season, it’s the celebrity-approved Barefoot Dreams throw. Some of the biggest A-list names in Hollywood have raved about this blanket, from Crissy Teigan to Kate Hudson. This luxe blanket is everywhere and we totally get it: It’s super soft, fuzzy and cozy. And thankfully, Nordstrom Rack is making it easier to grab your very own for 56 percent off, dropping from $120 to $52.

So what’s so special about it, you ask? For starters, it’s crafted with 100 percent polyester that makes it soft and warm while you stay in for a holiday movie marathon. It’s also machine-washable, and as long as you don’t dry it, it will keep its softness, so you can continue to snuggle in your throw whether it’s brand new or 500 washes in. The cozy pick is also 60 inches long and 45 inches wide, so you and your adorable doggo can wrap it comfortably around you together on the couch.

Teigen loves hers so much, she even had to clarify to her followers that she wasn’t paid to tweet her love for it. She really is that big of a fan.

With more than 1,900 reviews, celebs aren’t the only ones who love it, either. “I’m not sure if I should be proud or ashamed, but either way, I have four different Barefoot Dreams blankets,” wrote one fan. “I was really surprised when I opened it and it was even softer than my ribbed throws!” They continued: “It’s a little thicker and fluffier, but not too thick at all. I use it inside with my AC during the Texas summer, but I expect it would also be able to keep you warm whenever you need it to. It’s basically a heavier but breathable ribbed throw, with extra softness! Definitely worth the price, I’m trying to convince myself not to order more.”

Bottom line: It’s just what you need to keep you nice and cozy for the season. (Psst: It’s also a great chic addition to lay on your couch or patio chairs.) You can get it for $52 during Cyber Monday, which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen the blanket go for, so don’t wait on adding it to your cart!

We Tested Out an Ultra-Luxe Stroller with an Electric Motor and It Did Not Disappoint

  • Value: 16/20
  • Functionality: 20/20
  • Quality/Ease of Use: 17/20
  • Aesthetics: 18/20
  • Durability: 19/20
  • TOTAL: 90/100

Here at PureWow, we’re serious about strollers. We know that they’re often the most expensive and frequently used item on any mama-to-be’s registry, and that there are a lot of options out there which can make the shopping experience seriously confusing. That’s why we’ve tested one going up a four-story Brooklyn apartment, swooned over an astrology-themed collection and even found the Tesla of strollers. And while all of these options score high on features like aesthetics and durability, there’s no denying the fact that pushing a tiny human around can get pretty tiresome, pretty fast (especially when you add an overflowing diaper bag, a pile of groceries, a giant coffee and other parenting must-haves into the mix). If only there was a stroller that did the hard work for us…oh wait—there is. Introducing the Cybex e-Priam.

As the brand’s first electrical stroller, it’s designed to glide up and down steep hills with ease and adapt to rough terrain (think: sand at the beach, cobblestones downtown and gravel in your friend’s driveway). But does this smart stroller really live up to its claims? We asked Jess, mom to an 8-month-old baby girl, to take it for a test drive to find out. 

The Facts

The e-Priam is a three-in-one system that can fit a stroller seat (included in the price), the brand’s Lux Carry Cot and infant car seat (both sold separately). The recommended age is from birth (with the carry cot or infant car seat) and up to a maximum weight capacity of 55 pounds. The stroller seat can be both forward-facing or parent-facing. 

The stroller is on the heavier side (it weighs 33.7 pounds with the stroller seat), but it’s worth noting that the sturdy wheels and electric motor make pushing it a walk in the park (even if said park is covered in dirt and sand). The machine-washable (“and super comfy,” according to Jess) fabrics come in two neutral colors.

Also included: a UPF 50+ sun canopy with a peek-a-boo window (“super big and useful”), a rain cover, a cup holder (“a little flimsy”), car seat adapters and a large storage basket with a weight capacity of 11 pounds and magnetic closures.

The stroller can be folded with one hand (“this really works but it’s hard to hold the stroller with just one hand since it’s so heavy”) and the chic faux leather handle is adjustable to accommodate different configurations.

The Setup

OK, considering that the Cybex e-PRIAM is one of the more high-tech options on the market, it’s perhaps no surprise that putting it together is a little trickier than your standard stroller. 

“It was pretty difficult to put the stroller together just looking at the picture instructions (there were no words, just photos),” Jess said, revealing that she had to look up videos on YouTube to bail her out. “It took about 45 minutes for me to put it together by myself, mostly due to the alignment of the zippers for the seat and the foot support being a little difficult to figure out.” But once you’re set up and ready to go, Jess happily reports that the stroller is very easy to use. 

The Smart Features

Enough about the boring stuff. What we really want to know is if this electric stroller lives up to the hype. Spoiler alert: It totally does. 

“The e-stroller is an amazing feature,” raves Jess. “It works really well and provides much-needed assistance when walking up a hill without feeling like you have to use your energy to push the stroller up. The same goes for walking down a hill—you don’t feel like you’re being pulled down by the stroller but can walk with ease both up and down.”

Speaking of going down, Jess’s favorite feature is that the stroller prevents you from going too fast down a hill. “It automatically moves very slowly if you accidently let go of the stroller when walking down a hill—it doesn’t completely stop but moves slowly enough that you don’t need to worry about it flying away.” There is also a strap you can wear around your wrist to stay connected to the stroller if you choose. 

So how does the stroller work, exactly? The e-Priam has a battery that when fully charged (this takes about six hours) will run for approximately 28 miles in “fair conditions” and 12.4 miles in “difficult conditions.” How long your battery will last obviously depends on how often you rely on the motor, but Jess tells us that she has been using hers for over a month without needing to charge it yet. You can leave the battery on the stroller or remove it when not in use, although Jess warns that it’s pretty heavy. To turn on the e-stroller feature, deactivate the footbrake and tap a switch hidden in the rear axle. A row of LEDs let you know that the e-Priam is activated and ready to go. Once activated, sensors in the handlebar detect pressure to help you go up or down a hill as necessary. It’s basically the stroller equivalent of an e-bike.

As for the claims that the stroller can help you tackle rough terrain, Jess tells us that the e-Priam delivers. “The beach feature is really nice,” she says. And Cybex promises that you can even power through snowy streets with it—something Jess is eager to test. The smart technology here works in the same way as above, with the motor able to sense uneven terrain and counterbalance it to make the ride feel smooth—a great feature to have on hand when you’re dealing with a sleeping baby. 

The Bottom Line

“I would recommend this to friends and family who go for lots of walks on various terrains,” says Jess. “I would also recommend it for grandparents because it gives the extra support and functionality to assist with walking, helping to ease the work of pushing the stroller!” 

Of course, this is one of the more expensive strollers on the market so you’ll want to do your research before making a decision. Is the Cybex e-PRIAM is right for your family? Here are some quick pros and cons from our tester at a glance: 

  • Pros: The electronic feature that assists while walking up and down hills is really amazing, incredible safety, fabric is high-end and comfortable, options to face the seat inward or outward, comes with connectors for infant car seat
  • Cons: Battery is very heavy, stroller is quite heavy to lift and fold, cup holder is flimsy

It’s a big investment.

16 Meghan Markle Quotes About Work, Feminism and Staying True to Yourself

Meghan Markle has been making headlines as of late, mainly due to her Archetypes podcast. And a lot has changed in the past few years, to say the least. In addition to living in California as a non-senior member of the royal fam, she’s also now a mother of two.

But hey, the Duchess of Sussex has never really been a typical royal. Case in point? She’s not afraid to speak her mind. Whether she’s talking about women’s rights, falling in love with Prince Harry or finding herself, we can all learn a thing or two from the Duchess of Sussex. Here, 16 Meghan Markle quotes that are guaranteed to inspire you.

On Work

1. “Take things with a grain of salt, and find balance within your life. On your lunch break, leave to go and get some fresh air. You don’t need to make your life your job. I have to find that balance for myself, as well…I think you have to make time for yourself so that work doesn’t become the end-all be-all.” – Meghan Markle

Pool/Getty Images

2. “We just need to be kinder to ourselves. If we treated ourselves the way we treated our best friend, can you imagine how much better off we would be?” – Meghan Markle

On Empowering Women

3. “I think the biggest part of being a girl boss in the office, at home or anywhere you go is just knowing your value.” – Meghan Markle

Chris Jackson/Getty Images

4. “When girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves but also for those around them.” – Meghan Markle

5. “Everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education they want, but more importantly, the education they have the right to receive. And for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital.” – Meghan Markle

WPA Pool/Pool/Getty Images

6. “With fame comes opportunity, but it also includes responsibility—to advocate and share, to focus less on glass slippers and more on pushing through glass ceilings. And, if I’m lucky enough, to inspire.” – Meghan Markle

WPA Pool/Pool/Getty Images

7. “If there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to say something. And why not me?” – Meghan Markle

WPA Pool/Pool/Getty Images

8. “Women make up more than half of the world’s population and potential, so it is neither just nor practical for their voices, for our voices, to go unheard at the highest levels of decision-making. The way that we change that, in my opinion, is to mobilize girls and women to see their value as leaders, and to support them in these efforts.” – Meghan Markle

On Aging

Chris Jackson/Getty Images

9. “As you get older, you become more comfortable in your skin and comfortable in saying no to things…I’ve also learned that saying no is just as valuable as saying yes. It’s something that, I think, comes with age and really having a sense of your self-worth. And then you make choices based on that.” – Meghan Markle

Chris Jackson/Getty Images

Chris Jackson/Getty Images

10. “As I’m getting older, my approach to aging is quite different. I make sure that I take care of my skin and body, especially with the work hours I have. And I don’t just take care of myself for aesthetic reasons but because how I feel is dictated by what I’m eating, how much rest I’m getting and how much water I’m drinking.” – Meghan Markle

On Feminism

Chris Jackson/Getty Images

11. “Women’s suffrage is about feminism, but feminism is about fairness.” – Meghan Markle

On Fashion

12. “Have a power piece in your wardrobe. If it’s the one dress that makes you feel so badass, or the one crisp button-down — whatever it is so that when you wake up on those days where you’re not really feeling going into work, you put that piece on and it’s almost like your own anthem. It can really shift the energy of your whole day.” – Meghan Markle

13. “You can be a woman who wants to look good and still stand up for the equality of women. There’s no uniform for feminism; you are a feminist exactly the way you are.” – Meghan Markle

On Staying True To Herself

14. “I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.”– Meghan Markle

15. “You need to know that you’re enough—a mantra that has now ingrained itself so deeply within me that not a day goes by without hearing it chime in my head. That five pounds lost won’t make you happier, that more makeup won’t make you prettier, that the now iconic saying from Jerry Maguire, ‘You complete me,’ frankly, isn’t true. You are complete with or without a partner. You are enough just as you are.” – Meghan Markle

16. “Make a choice: Continue living your life feeling muddled in this abyss of self-misunderstanding, or you find your identity independent of it.” – Meghan Markle
