by

September marks the start of school, and for many that means heading off to college. Or maybe you finally your friend finally got that dream job after graduation and is packing her things to move. Whatever the case, starting out in a new location is overwhelming for anyone. They’re worried about settling in, getting their work done, meeting new people, the list goes on. That’s why we have several gifts that you can get them to make the process THAT much easier. (Or at a bare minimum, minimize the stress temporarily).

Most people that start out in college or in a new job don’t have tons of extra money to spend. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t want to feel pampered! You can offer them a relaxing night in with a skincare kit complete with masks, moisturizers, and more to make them look and feel their best. Birchbox offers some great, affordable gifts!

Tupperware

tupperware containers full of food for meal prep.

While not the most glamorous of gifts, tupperware is one of the handiest items you can give to someone who just moved for school or work. Seeing as they likely didn’t pack any in their suitcase (that’s precious clothing space wasted!!) they’ll be happy to not have to spend on new containers. Plus, this makes meal prepping and saving money so simple!

Mattel Is Releasing A Line Of Gender-Neutral Dolls

by

People have (rightfully) criticized Mattel’s Barbie over the years for creating unrealistic beauty standards for little girls. However, the company has been at the forefront of change these past few years, most notably with their recent announcement to create gender-neutral dolls. The Creatable World line is a collection of dolls that are fully customizable, allowing kids to choose how their dolls look. At last, kids can feel like they are better represented, as the dolls seek to eliminate labels and stereotypes.

«All Welcome»

As stated by Mattel, the Creatable World collection was made «to keep labels out and invite everyone in.» In fact, the slogan for this gender-neutral collection is «All Welcome,» to emphasize the «dolls are as limitless as the kids who play with them.»

Gender-Neutral Doll Changes

Mattel’s biggest criticism over the years was its exclusivity, making young children of different colors and appearances not feeling represented by the very dolls they play with. To help more kids feel included, Mattel created six toy kits that have varying skin tones and interchangeable wigs. The dolls also come with different clothing items and accessories that are also for any gender. Finally, one of the biggest changes comes from the actual doll design itself. No longer do the dolls have highly disproportionate and sexualized bodily features.

Positive Feedback From Fans

So far, the response to Creatable World has been generally positive, with Mattel followers on Twitter sharing their pride in the new creation. While there are always more progressive moves to be made, it looks as if Mattel is really heading in the right direction as a pioneer in gender-neutral toys for kids.

The Kardashians Were The Laughingstock of The Emmys

by

This past Sunday marked the annual biggest awards night in American television, The Emmys. While many television shows and networks went away as true winners that night (HBO with 9 wins, the show «Fleabag» with 4), one of the biggest moments of the night didn’t come from the winner’s podium. Rather, the most cringe-worthy moment came when Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner presented the award for «Outstanding Reality TV.»

A Not-So-Real Reality

Kim and Kendall are famous for being part of the 5 sisters that star on «Keeping Up With The Kardashians.» The show follows their lives, through all their drama living as millionaires (and billionaires). When they went to present the award for Reality TV, Kim told the audience «Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves.»

Kendall then continued the speech in a serious tone, «Telling their stories unfiltered and unscripted.» Despite the two claiming their lives are completely unfiltered and real in front of the camera, it appeared the Emmys audience had a different perspective as they burst out laughing at the two stars.

The Twitter Jokes Following The Emmys

Although the audience was in an uproar, by the looks of Kim and Kendall’s faces, they thought the moment was anything but funny. The oh-so-awkward moment soon became the source of many jokes on Twitter.

A Misunderstanding

It turns out, the lines by Kim and Kendall were supposed to be a joke, but the two sisters never got the memo before hand. They were not informed prior to reading the teleprompter to give the award that it should be tongue-in-cheek. As a result, well… they became the fools of the Emmys. Maybe this is a sign for Kim to start focusing less on Reality TV and more on her Law Bar exam…

Soft Ghosting Is The Latest Dating Trend To Haunt Us

by

The world of online dating is a tough one, and it’s brought along its fair share of horrible dating trends. From catfishing to ghosting, we can affirm that any time an attempt at a relationship isn’t straightforward and honest, it sucks. Despite the infinite failed dates, it appears dating apps are here to stay. Over a quarter of adults of all ages have used online dating, with 57 million people around the world using Tinder alone. Here to add to your list of awful dating trend rejections is the latest «soft ghosting.»

What Is Soft Ghosting?

There’s a good chance you’ve already experienced «soft ghosting» and did not know it. This trend refers to when you have sent a long, thought out (and most likely discussed with your friends) message on Facebook or Instagram, only to get a like in response. Not even a one word response- but a LIKE. Never has a «heart» response hurt so bad!

Clarifying The Confusion Of Soft Ghosting

It can feel both demoralizing and confusing when someone responds with a heart but no genuine response. You may start to have thoughts swirling in your head. «Maybe this person was busy in the moment! He or she probably forgot to respond! Or what if he was being kidnapped and couldn’t respond!!» Sorry honey, but you need to stop kidding yourself.

Soft ghosting is complicated because it’s not as straightforward as its harsher relative, «ghosting.» The person supposedly has at least SOME decency to put in the oh-so-agonizing effort of double tapping to like. But it may make you think they do not want to end the conversation. Or worse, have to ponder the question of, who sent the last official message?

Don’t Jump To Conclusions

This is much easier said than done. However, you should always give some proper time to allow someone to respond, especially if you did send a very long message. Sometimes people need some «me-time» away from social apps, and one should one hundred percent respect that.

If you think the conversation truly has not ended, or you want to continue talking, you can always send a follow up message. In the age of digital technology, there truly are no rules about «the perfect time» to send a message. (Those norms are soooo old school). However, if you do send another message and get a feeble or nonexistent response, you should consider, do you truly want to date someone that has minimal engagement? It can be a clear early sign of when to leave someone and look for better, more compatible fish in the sea.

Stop The Soft Ghosting In Its Tracks

If you still have not met the person, or don’t have plans for a new date, try sending some specific details about a future meet up. If he or she agrees, voila! Simply a lack of communication, your soft ghosting crisis has been averted! On the other hand, if you get zero response... It’s official. The soft ghosting has turned full on Casper mode (just in time for Halloween, how convenient).

Just remember, don’t beat yourself up for things not working out. This was a clear, truly «them not you» problem, and there is bound to be a winner in the bunch!

The Ultimate Guide To Properly Applying Concealer

by

Newsflash: concealers are not just for your acne and under-eye bags! This simple saving makeup product has many great tricks for making you look your best and brightest. It all just depends on how you actually apply the product. Here are a few tricks to make the most out of your concealer!

Triangles For Under-Eye Bags

Are you applying your concealer directly under your eyes? If so, you are actually committing one of the worst mistakes! This way of application can actually accentuate the bags under your eyes. To fix this issue, try applying your concealer in the shape of an upside down triangle. This will help to brighten up not just your under-eye bags, but your entire face!

Prime Your Eyelids With Concealer

No need to spend extra moolah on eyeshadow primer. You can apply concealer directly to your eyelids to create the same smoothing effect. This will help to prevent creases when putting on eyeshadow and additionally make the colors pop.

Make Corrections With Different Colored Concealers

One concealer color doesn’t solve all your problems (sadly). To get the absolute best results, you should use different colors based on the problems you want to, well.. conceal. If it’s acne you want to hide, go for green to neutralize the redness and then top with your foundation. If you have dark, blue-ish under-eye bags, you should aim for a concealer with peachy orange tones. Additionally, if your face has more yellow tones you want to correct, you can use lavender colored concealers underneath foundation. Who knew there was a rainbow of colors to choose from for your concealer?

Blot With Tissue To Combat Creasing

To ensure your concealer doesn’t crease (especially around the eyes), it is best to blot with a tissue after application. This way you won’t look like a cakey mess by midday. Only a flawless face for you!
