LIFESTYLE: AN ONLY-CHILD BOOM IS BEGINNING & ITS COMPLICATED
The age at which people are having children has seemingly increased over the generations and there are two new narratives coming to light. The first is a prevalence of only 1 child and the second is these only children caring for their aging parents, both of which can take emotional and financial tolls on these folk.

FASHION: ALEX COOPER IS THE FACE OF SKIMS BRIDAL COLLECTION
Skims launched another bridal collection today and Alex Cooper (from the podcast Call Her Daddy) is fronting the campaign as she is a bride-to-be. The vibe of this campaign is very much Vegas brides in the 60’s. Skims has everything covered from getting ready, to bachelorette, to honeymoon.

WELLNESS: ALLERGY SEASON ARRIVED EARLY IN THE U.S
80M+ Americans get stuck with itchy eyes, runny noses, and post-Benadryl drowsiness annually when allergy season arrives, but this season started super early! Pollen counts (especially tree pollen) increased prematurely this year but using a pollen tracker to know where there’s high activity and which pollens cause allergies, can help your body big time.

Based on a true story, The Iron Claw is a sports drama about the Von Erich’s — a family of wrestlers who were cursed by tragedy. The film stars Zac Efron, Lily James, Jeremy Allen White, and others. With a father who pushed the 4 brothers to excel in wrestling, the family faced many tragedies. This film is about hope, family, commitment, and loss.

ON NOT ACHIEVING: “If you don't get what you want, it's a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.” — RUDYARD KIPLING

If your desire isn’t deeply rooted in a set foundation or if you aren’t willing to pay the necessary cost or put in the required effort (AKA sacrifice + compromise), you may not get what you want. The universe has a way of balancing itself and every action will have a set outcome.

We’re looking for the best colors to dress, accessorize, and experiment with. And by “best,” we mean most flattering, accentuating, and enriching for your features and undertones. Although it seems somewhat subjective, a color analysis and learning which season you are can really up your wardrobe game!
