Nara Smith On Why She's Okay With 4 Kids At A Young Age
I'm sure you've heard of model and influencer Nara Smith.
The social media star has over 11 million followers on TikTok, and she's known for slice of life, aka "tradwife" content, with her seductive ASMR voiceovers.
Nara, who's currently 23 years old, is expecting her fourth child with model and influencer Lucky Blue Smith, 27, and she's online defending her choice to have so many kids at her age.
In a June 11 GRWM video, Nara answered a few Q&A questions from her followers, one in particular addressing why she and Lucky chose to have so many kids.
"No, I'm not having this many kids because I'm Mormon," Nara explained. "I'm not Mormon. I just always wanted to be a young mom and do everything while I was really young. And I think that's just a personal preference for me."
Nara married Lucky when she was only 20 years old, but explained that how she lived in her teens prepared her for her life as a mother at her current age. "I did a lot of the things that people in their 20s do when I was a teenager," Nara said. "So now, I felt like I was ready to start a new chapter and do other things, which is being a mom. And I love being a mom and making that choice."
Nara and Lucky have three children: Rumble Honey, 4, Slim Easy, 3, and Whimsy Lou, 14 months, and now they're expecting another. In the video, Nara explained that she and Lucky didn't plan on having another kid after Whimsy Lou. "This was a surprise baby," she said.
Nara said she was six months pregnant (noting that she used movie magic to conceal her tummy in her recent content) and shared why she waited to share the news. "I waited to share for as long as I feel like I could because I knew that people were going to have all kinds of opinions. And me personally, I had to get used to the idea as well of having another kid since I'm mentally prepped to be done after Whimsy."
Having multiple children before her 24th birthday works for Nara and her husband because they've got the "tag-teaming" down pat. "Lucky and I are really good at tag-teaming," she said. "We tag-team and really figure out our work schedules and what we have to do. And then the other person takes care of the kids. Then when we're lucky, family come and help out when we're both traveling or when it's too much, and the workload is piling up. So, we're kind of managing it like that."
"No, I don't have a nanny. No I don't have a whole team helping me. It's just me, my husband and any family that's available to help," she continued.
Nara added that she's "excited" and that they know the gender but won't announce it until the baby is born. Like the three children before, she plans to have an at-home birth. "All in all, this has been my easiest pregnancy so far. So adjusting this time around has been so much easier for me."
In my opinion, having four kids under 5 years old before you're even 24 is a flex because I can't even take care of two succulents for a month, and I'm twice her age.
Congratulations to Nara and Lucky!

'There Are Speeds?!:' Man Shows 'Life Hack' for Pumping Gas Without Foam. Then He Changes Settings
In episode #3,791 of Things You Never Knew, gas pumps have different speed settings, and you might be using the wrong one. One guy on TikTok swears that picking the right one will save you money in the long run. Gas Pumping PSA In a viral video with nearly a million views, content creator @bori2funny shared one thing he always does at the gas station to get the most bang for his buck. 'I'm finna teach all y'all a life hack right now,' @bori2funny said. In the video, he explained that when you put your nozzle to pump gas automatically (with those little metal notches that keep the pump in place), you shouldn't put it on the highest or fastest setting. He claimed that when it goes too fast, the gas can get foamy. (This is especially true with diesel, Redditors say .) 'You put it on the slowest one, you get nothing but liquid,' @bori2funny said. 'Telling you, try it out. I'm putting y'all on right now,' he concludes. What we're stuck on is the speed claim. Does the Gas Pump Really Have Different Speeds? Yes, it does. Who woulda guessed it? While most people think the little notches on the gas pump handles are just for letting the gas pour automatically, they're more intentionally designed than you ever thought. Though it's not a universal design, many nozzles at the gas station have three different notches indicating the speed—slow, medium, and fast—at which the gas will flow out. Do the Speeds Matter? Wavy confirmed that it does. It explained that pumping at higher speeds releases more vapors, so you might pay for more gas than you actually get, so it's better to pump slower. Are There Really Tricks to Save On Gas? Absolutely. When it comes to saving money on gas, every detail counts. Here are a few tricks at the pump and maintenance tips to help every drop of fuel and every dollar stretch further at the gas station, according to Wavy . Time and temperature matter - Gas expands and contracts about 1% for every 15 degrees of temperature change. So it's better to fill up when the gas is cool and contracted versus when it's warm and expanded. This means filling up earlier in the day when tanks are cooler and avoiding getting gas on the day it's delivered from the refinery, since it's hotter than when it's had time to sit in a tank for a while. Topping off doesn't work - You might inadvertently be spending more to get less gas. When you try to keep pouring after the nozzle has stopped, it doesn't necessarily mean you're getting more gas. Many nozzles are fitted to take up extra gas and cycle it back to the pump, so you may end up paying more without actually getting more gas. 'Once the pump stops, put the nozzle back on the tank to ensure you only pay for what you receive,' Cardenas states. Tighten your gas cap - When gas expands, like when it's hot, a portion turns into gas and vapors that escape into the air. A loose-fitting cap will allow more of those vapors to escape. Keep up your maintenance - Fill up your tires since low tire pressure decreases your gas mileage. Make sure your engine is performing properly and change your air filter, since a dirty filter causes more fuel burn (though newer cars adjust for this). Commenters react 'I didn't know there were speeds….,' the top comment with more than 50,000 likes read. 'Boy I thought you was finna tell us how to get gas for free,' a second person said, disappointed. 'Omg i feel gaslighted,' another joked. 'You're not getting less gas at a higher setting — just getting it faster. If you want to be ultra-precise or reduce splashback, using a slower setting can help, but the difference is minimal,' a commenter argued.

Woman Swims in Ocean, Then Lifeguard Reveals How Close to Danger She Was
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman trying to brave the cold ocean waters in Florida needed to step out when a lifeguard came by with a serious warning. Lauren Roth and her husband, Matt, were enjoying a beach day a few months ago. Her husband started filming her as she tried to go swimming in the water, but soon enough, a lifeguard came to her and told her they were going to "clear the waters." A shark was heading in that direction. She posted the interaction on her TikTok account, @lollie214, earlier this week, which has currently amassed over 9.3 million views and 371,000 likes. The moment she heard the lifeguard, she immediately made her way to the sand. And while Roth appeared to be calm, she told Newsweek she believes it was the shock that took over. "Matt is from [Florida], so he prepared me for months before we moved here that wildlife is intense, so I was less freaked out than I could have been," she said. "We love the ocean, so it's a risk we take." Roth said that about seven seconds after she got out of the water, the shark started swimming past. Her husband continued filming, pointing out where she stood just moments before the shark appeared. The shark came swimming in the shallow waters, lurking right where the waves broke. Matt pointed out its fins as it poked out of the water. In the clip, Roth said to her husband she would never go back in the water, but in reality, she has gone in almost every week since then. Meanwhile, her husband thought seeing the shark was "awesome". Her response left people cracking up, "Is it?"

One user wrote: "Life officially guarded." Another added: "Impressive how he communicated it in a way not to cause panic!" One user joked: "We have a shark coming in? Did it call first or have a reservation??" Roth assured users that her husband only started celebrating the shark once she was safely out of the water.
