KNC Beauty True story: I used to draw in dark circles under my eyes in college to convince my professors that I was too tired to come to class. Seeing as I had to actually go to class for them to see my handiwork, this plan was definitely flawed, but it did help get me out of a few boring lectures. Now that I am actually perpetually exhausted, I’m a little annoyed that I was ever awake enough to run a scheme like this. Nowadays, there’s really no need to accentuate my already terrifying under eyes.When you’ve woken up with…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Retribution? I write mainly military and spy thrillers. Of course, they are mostly fiction. But I do draw on world events and my own experiences in the Army to craft thrilling and realistic stories. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Retribution, what would they be? It may be because I’m a child of the 80’s, and it might sound cheesy, but only one song comes to mind. It would be Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins, which happened to be written for the movie…

Interpersonal trust is a crucial component of healthy relationships. When we interact with strangers, we quickly gauge whether we can trust them. And those important social skills may be shaped by our earliest relationship with caregivers. Adolescents who had an insecure attachment to their mothers as toddlers are more likely to overestimate the trustworthiness of strangers, according to a new study from the University of Illinois. “The idea is to understand whether early attachment relationships with mothers have a longitudinal, predictive association with how adolescents process cues related to trustworthiness, both at the behavioral level and the brain level,” explains…
Dove Cameron is tempting us to buy into the corset trend with her latest Instagram post. The actress took a mirror selfie in a beaded corset drenched in a bright red hue and designed with a sweetheart neckline. The structured piece was also embellished with white beads that outlined the shape of a broken heart, giving it an instant edge. Along the front, a centered lace-up panel added texture and gave the corset a BDSM-inspired twist. Cameron styled it with a pair of dramatic paper bag-waist jeans, which gave off major Britney Spears in her “Circus” era energy. She accessorized…
“We have seen how important a role the platforms have [had] in Ukraine. So if there is some kind of crisis, we need to have some tools because we don’t have any legislation for that,” says Virkkunen. “There could be some other kind of a crisis where we don’t have sanctions.”However, critics of the crisis mechanism are concerned that it concentrates too much power in the hands of the European Commission.

I’m delighted to start this post by saying that it was difficult to choose only 11 LGBTQ books for high schoolers. Back in the Dark Ages when I was a teen it would’ve been a challenge to find 11 half-decent options. However, thanks to some amazing strides in representation in publishing, that’s no longer the case. Of course, that’s not to say that the work is done. As I shared in a recent list of 25+ LGBTQ books for teens, we’ve got a…
