I don't know a single teenage soul in the early millenium that didn't drive around (or sit in their room) blasting JoJo's "Leave (Get Out)." It was the anthem of slighted girls and boys everywhere; a ditty juxtaposed with the vocal maturity of it's performer. It was a therapeutic song in that you could scream "LEAVE!" with the conviction of Marcia Clark, yet still giggle as you recited the lyrics "to go behind my back and call my friend, boy you must have gone and bumped your head."

Point being that JoJo was an integral part of our lives at one point, and then, without a trace, she kind of disappeared. Now we know why — label issues that kept her from releasing new albums, and even kept her from putting our old favorites like "Too Little to Late" and "How to Touch a Girl" on Spotify and Apple Music.

Now, at 25, JoJo has a new album on the way under a new label. Her sound is more mature — like her voice — but still catchy as hell. (Try not to dance around like a banshee to "When Love Hurts.") And while she's stopped catering to others and put on her Independent Woman badge, she admits that she actually does care about others opinions.

"Here's something that I agreed to do that ended up messing with me psychologically," said JoJo. "I was under a lot of pressure with a company I was previously and they wanted me to lose weight fast. So they got me with a nutritionist and had me, like, on all these supplements, and I was injecting myself — this is a common thing 'the girls' do all the way — it makes your body only need certain calories, so I ate 500 calorie a day. It was the most unhealthy thing I've ever done."

She gained all the weight back, she said, and she felt horrible that she subscribed to a lifestyle that other people wanted her to live. "I felt like, 'if I don't do this, my album won't come out.' Which it didn't! So it's not like it even worked!" said JoJo.

Thankfully, JoJo's gotten ahold of what she wants out of her life and her career, and she doesn't feel the pressure to follow others. "I listen to other people's opinions. Listening and following are different things. I think listening and showing respect to people you respect... it works for me," said JoJo. "What you think about yourself and the decisions you make is what's most important."

JoJo's been pushing out the new jams since late last year. We can expect a new album soon, and you can catch her on tour this year with Fifth Harmony on the 7/27 Tour ( http://livemu.sc/29JLZQq). Praise BE! Check out the interview and let us know your favorite part in the comments section below.

For Megan "Megz" Lytle (www.youtube.com/user/ulovemegz), getting off relaxers has been a "hair journey." The spunky beauty vlogger has been relaxing her natural texture for years but recently decided she wanted to embrace the hair she was born with. "I've been relaxing it ever since I was 15," says Megan. "I was like, 'Wait, I want to wear my hair straight all the time! I don't want to flat-iron it!'"

Megan explained who influenced her to get her hair relaxed, saying, "My family, they're from the South. They're the older generation. They're used to pressing out. So they kind of looked at it as if your hair isn't curled or straightened, your hair isn't 'done.'" This started her relationship with relaxers, a treatment she said she thought was "taking care of her hair."

Now, Megan has decided to go relaxer-free in an effort to embrace her natural hair texture. "I haven't had a relaxer since January 2016! I have a mini 'fro right now under my protective style. It's a wig. When you're transitioning, you can't manipulate your hair because you have two different textures. So I have curly girl hair . . . and then straight hair. I can't manipulate too much into it because it will break off," says Megan.

Watch Megan discuss the reason she wanted to go natural in this week's episode of Pretty Unfiltered, check out an easy DIY hair mask for dry or colored hair on Megan's channel, and let us know about your own hair journey in the comments below!

Brownies fries? That's right; Sarah Michelle Gellar makes the classic dessert even better by transforming it into fry-like pieces that can be dipped into a berry sauce. The recipe begins with her Foodstirs Brownie Mix and is dressed up with espresso powder, a melted chocolate coating, and flake salt finish. It's the little things that count!
