Rat's Nest Week 7

Enjoy!!!!

• Trophy Husband- What’s the opposite of fragile masculinity? Serena Williams’ Husband shows off his accomplishments in alongside hers in this tiktok.

• Cozy Mornings- Unsure if I am tragically late to this or not, but I have recently found out about YouTube DJs and I am a changed gal. This is one of my favorites so far- throw it on in the background and go about your morning for some lovely vibes.

• Passport to Paris- a reminder to check your passport expiration date- i’m cutting it pretty close with mine so I feel it is my civic duty to remind people to renew theirs (speaking of civic duties- make sure you’re registered to vote)

🌞 blocking out the sun and the haters

Still scarred from stepping on and breaking a personalized mix CD from a boy I had a crush on in 8th grade. Anyways, wear your sunscreen. I like this one right now (probably skip if you have dry skin.)

👀 haunted (iykyk)

Youthforia, an indie-ish makeup brand Mark Cuban invested in, made the worst attempt at foundation shade inclusivity the industry has ever seen when they released black face paint. Yes, a literal black foundation- no undertones, no other color in it except black. This release came after backlash they received last year for releasing a very limited (and light….) shade range for the launch of the foundation.

• A quick lesson on why undertones in foundation matters here

• Theory on why it may be a (stupid) marketing stunt here

Releasing black face paint in an attempt to “be inclusive” is…. sloppy.

• A light dish for summertime- Spring Pasta Carbonara. Super easy to make but the trick is to make sure you temper the egg before mixing it in

• Snack girl summer- stashing one of these in my purse all summer to prevent the hangries

Signing off with a Lemon Lime Poppi,
