New mom Snooki beamed when Anderson asked how she was enjoying motherhood. Her son, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, was born in August, and the young mom said she is loving every minute of it. The 24-year-old said the best advice she ever received after being a new mom was to "make time for myself."

Snooki's fiancé, Jionni LaValle, is "like a second mom" to Lorenzo and helps out as much as he can. "He's hands-on, changes diapers… he's just awesome."



Snooki, 24, said changing diapers is "fun," and believes she is a better mother than she thought she would be. "I'm very proud of myself," she said, and added, "I want to be a MILF."



The former "Jersey Shore" star explained that motherhood has helped her realize there's so much more to life than going out and partying.

The President became emotional during the speech, and Iyanla explained that it's hard for people to show their emotions "for any President... for a man.

Vanzant, who stars in reality show "Fix My Life" on OWN, added, "Men are conditioned to be tough." Watch the clip to see what else she had to say!

Beauty expert David Evangelista shares his secrets for maintaining healthy hair in the cold winter months.

Tips for Healthy Winter Hair
#1

Do NOT over-shampoo hair. You will avoid stripping any natural oils that help keep the hair hydrated through frigid conditions.

#2

DO wear SILK-lined hats… this will aid in dramatically reducing static.

#3

DO use leave-in conditioners and hair masks to avoid tangling and breakage.

#4

Do NOT use products high in alcohol… this will dry out your scalp and have it flake.

#5

DO use wood or ceramic combs to detangle. This also helps prevent breakage and tangling. Use boar bristle or ceramic brushes to cut down on static.
