When you want a natural-looking boost of brightness to your hair without hitting the salon, lightening sprays can be just the ticket. Ingredients such as lemon and chamomile lighten strands over time and get more effective the more often you use them. While you don’t have to sit in the sun for the formula to work, the UV rays will boost the formula’s effectiveness. Hey, any excuse to hang out in the sun, right? (Just don’t forget the SPF.) For the yummiest scent, and two of them at that, choose Sun In’s lightening spray. You get a lemon and tropical scent that will stay with your strands. Aloe and flaxseed condition while the lightening ingredients work their magic. If you know you’re going to be spending a lot of time outside, or if you live in an especially sunny climate, you might want to choose Sun Bum’s version. It has UVs, as well as frizz and humidity. If you prefer an ultra-natural formula, Gnarly Head’s biodegradable spray is gluten-free and vegan and also acts as a detangler...

   This is a paid post in conjunction with TEMPUR®, but all thoughts are my own I don’t know about you but lockdown has had me noticing just how messy and dirty our flat gets! Anyone else? I suppose with spending more time in our home the dirt and mess is only ever going to multiply and be more obvious! In particular I’ve noticed how quickly our bedroom looks in desperate need of a good once over and yet between, kids, work and no childcare, I’ve never had less time to get stuck in. The other day I caught a glimpse down the back of our mattress and was horrified at how much dust had collected between that and the headboard since I last checked! I mean be honest with me, have you ever thought much about sleep hygiene? I guess some of you with allergies may be well versed in that kind of thing but truth be told I’d never really considered it much before TEMPUR® got in touch with me. Obviously I know it’s important to wash our bedding, we’ve always used a mattress protector and...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Politician season 2.  You’re not the only one who wondered if Tino in The Politician season 2 was based on Beto O’Rourk e. After the comedy-drama premiered on Netflix on June 19, Twitter lit up with fans who wondered if the character was inspired by another Texas politician. Tino McCutcheon , who made cameo in season 1, is a Junior Senator-Elect from Texas in The Politician season 2 . At the start of the season, we learn that Tino (played by Sam Jaeger) has a secret plan to run for President of the United States and wants Dede to be his Vice President. Fans have pointed out that the storyline is similar to Beto’s political track. The IRL politician ran to represent Texas in the United State Senate in 2018 before he narrowly lost to Ted Cruz. Beto also was a 2020 Democratic candidate for President of the United States before he announced the end of his campaign in November 2019. Fans have also pointed out that the names, Beto and Tino, have simil...

It’s hard to imagine how a pregnancy announcement could be “embarrassing” for the Sussexes, but leave it to some royal biographers to tease that story out anyway. According to a forthcoming royal biography, Meghan Markle’s pregnancy “embarrassed” Prince Harry at Princess Eugenie’s wedding back in October 2018 because she announced it at the event, effectively “stealing the limelight” from the bride. Yet there’s reason to believe that wasn’t really the case. A  Harper’s Bazaar  report issued days after the rumor suggested that Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, didn’t actually break the news to the royal family at the wedding. According to their source, members of the royal family—including the Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and Princess Eugenie—all knew about Meghan’s pregnancy beforehand. Instead, Eugenie’s wedding simply marked the first time the royal family could congratulate the couple in person. But now, tabloid editor Dylan Howard and ...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Politician season 2. Anyone who’s seen Netflix’s The Politician knows that it’s an over-the-top dramatization of what politics looks like. That said, some of it has to be based in reality, which makes us wonder if The Politician season 2 is based on a true story . The Politician season 2, which premiered on Netflix on June 29, follows the race between Payton Hobart and Dede Standish for a seat in the New York State Senate. Payton, who lost the election for Student Body President in The Politician season 1, is a New York University student with less experience than Dede, but tons of passion, especially around climate change. Dede, on the other hand, is the incumbent Majority Leader, who’s been senator for years and years and has grown tired of the role. Compared to Payton’s ecocentric campaign, Dede and her campaign manager, Hadassah Gold, stick to their conservative platforms. In the end, Payton becomes New York State Senator after the election e...

On social media, influencers and celebrities are increasingly using their posts to demand justice for Breonna Taylor. Unfortunately, some of those posts miss the mark—much like Lili Reinhart’s ‘tone-deaf’ Breonna Taylor Instagram post . The  Riverdale  actress has since apologized for her post, which featured a photo of herself topless and referencing Breonna Taylor’s in her caption. Yes, at the same time. In the since-removed post, Reinhart, 23, wrote: “Now that my sideboob has gotten your attention, Breonna Taylor’s murderers have not been arrested. Demand justice.” Reinhart’s caption is one of many following a strange trend that’s emerged in recent weeks where social media users post a photo of anything from selfies to flatlays, yet issue a seemingly unrelated call to action to demand justice for Breonna Taylor —the EMT and Louisville resident was killed during a “no-knock” police raid in mid-March by three plainclothes officers (two of whom still have their jobs). Other ...

We know that we’re supposed to wear sunscreen when we go out in sun, and you also probably know that wearing facial SPF every day is key to preventing premature signs of aging (and of course, cancer). But it turns out, we should also be wearing sun protection on our body every day as well—whether we’re planning a beach day or outdoor picnic, or just out and about running errands. Regardless of the season, UV damage is a threat to skin health at any time of year, so it’s important to avoid neglecting your body when it comes to sunblock. Unfortunately, many SPF lotions can be sticky, slimy, greasy, and oily—making them pretty uncomfortable to wear on an everyday basis—-not to mention the residue left behind on your clothing. Fortunately, there are plenty of body lotions formulated for a wide array of skin types that are infused with SPF defense, so you don’t have to apply two layers. Scroll through below to check out some of our hydrating body lotions with built-in sunblock to try out f...
