How the British royals celebrate their birthdays

For most of us, a birthday is an excuse to go big and celebrate in style–get dressed up, host a party, and revel in the chaos! But for most of the British royals, it's an excuse to do the exact opposite. Unless it's a big milestone birthday, they appreciate the chance to take a day off from hosting and dressing up. That being said, there are still certain traditions that must be adhered to. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ youngest child, Prince Louis, is turning six on April 23. Despite a difficult year for the young royal family following Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, Louis’ birthday will still be celebrated with their yearly tradition. Middleton previously revealed that she always stays up late to prepare her children’s birthday cakes the night before. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ‘til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much,” she explained. “But I love it.” It’s also tradition to release an official photo on each child’s birthday, but this has recently caused controversy for the family as Middleton was accused of photoshopping recent family photos amid rumors of her illness.

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.
