June 19, 2020 at 08:56PM Some beauty products fill me with total, unadulterated joy. In fact, whenever I need a little boost in spirits, beauty is the first thing I turn to. And it sounds shallow, I know, but it really does work for me. When I start the day on a downer, there are very few things that can actually improve my mood. I mean, a slice of freshly-baked Victoria sponge and a cup of tea can only keep me content for so long. And I’m not one of those people that can power through a situation regardless of their mood, either. If I’m sad, anxious, grumpy or just plain angry, it’s an all-encompassing sort of situation. I have found that over the years, the way that I’m feeling has a lot to do with how I’m treating myself. With a solid beauty routine being one of the easiest ways to show yourself some love, I’ve spent a lot of time honing quick, no-fuss beauty rituals that guarantee to get me out of a funk. It sounds extra, I know, but for me, it honestly works. For instance, I know that when I’m struggling to sleep, reaching for my This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray and a Spacemask will have me out like a light. If I’m feeling anxious, I know my go-to Aromatherapy Associates Revive Bath Oil and Omorovicza Gold Sugar Body Scrub will calm my mind, at least for a few minutes. But while sleep-inducing and anti-anxiety beauty products are by far two of the most well-known

Target Sparks Instant Joy With Its New Designer Dress Collab, Retailing For Under $60
June 19, 2020 at 06:00PM Target has just glued the biggest smiles to our faces with the announcement of its summer 2020 Designer Dress Collection – a collaboration with three unique dress designers: Cushnie, LoveShackFancy, and Lisa Marie Fernandez. Seriously, I think these smiles were affixed with Krazy glue, because as we scroll through the campaign images of the glorious dresses to come, they just get wider and wider. Not only are the dresses fit for every type of woman – you’ll shop the Cushnie line for bold pops of color and utmost sophistication, LoveShackFancy for bohemian romance, and Lisa Marie Fernandez for effortlessly chic styles – they’re also bright and mood lifting, shown on a diverse range of body types and available in sizes XXS to 3X. The entire range, which is complete with 70 different dresses, will be available on June 6 on Target.com and June 15 in stores, but Target has promptly increased its online allotment given the current climate, encouraging customers to shop online in an effort to promote social distancing. In case you weren’t aware, this marks the first time ever that Target has focused one of its collaborations on a sole wardrobe basic: the dress – and focus it did! The mix of prints, silhouettes, and fabrics here is truly beautiful. “When we started working with these three designers [over a year ago], our collective hope with The Designer Dress Collection was, and still is, to evoke a sense of joy and confidence that

June 19, 2020 at 05:20PM It’s been a minute since we thought about “real” clothes.

There’s a ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse This Weekend
June 19, 2020 at 04:00PM Summer solstice 2020 is serving up more than just the longest day of light in the northern hemisphere. For the first time since 1982, this notable cosmic event dovetails with a “ring of fire” solar eclipse that peaks at 2:41AM EDT on June 21. During a solar eclipse, the moon sits directly between the Earth and Sun, also referred to as a conjunction (or meetup at the same sign and degree of the Sun and the moon). During this brief time, the moon can block out the Sun’s light, temporarily disconnecting us from our sense of reality. Astrologically, eclipses are provocative moments, where the only thing constant is change. Unsettling information may come to light, and whatever has been sitting in the shadows must be reckoned with. During these turbulent times, resolution often requires a revolution. As old structures and systems are exposed, they may tumble to ruin in order to pave the way for a new way of life to be born. The eclipse will happen on Sunday, June 21 During the June 21 solar eclipse, both the Sun and moon are in Cancer, the zodiac’s heart-centered nurturer. This is the sign that rules our homes and homelands, our ancestral roots and financial security—all areas of life that are undergoing extreme transformation this year. As this eclipse arrives with a new moon, it may herald unprecedented ideas and actions. A “ring of fire” solar eclipse. Author | Elle Selected by CWC
