Happy Saturday folks. I can’t think of a single American who is 100% happy with what is happening right now with our country. That it does not investigate the murder of Charlie Kirk, the price of gas, the war in Iran, the lack of anything that happened to those in the Epstein files, the disregard for our Constitution, the citizens of the United States and those who are legally allowed to be in this country to be arrested without reason, that some of those arrested have been raped and treated inhumanely, saying that the president has been sidelined and targeted as a trust. and his family voting by postal vote… I could go on. There must be SOMETHING you are not comfortable with right now.
So today, I encourage you to take an hour or two out of your day,visit this link and find a peaceful No Kings gathering near where you live. You don’t need a sign or a t-shirt or anything other than comfortable shoes and sunscreen. Go and realize that you are not alone in your concerns, meet others in your community who are also looking for change, and I bet you will leave feeling hopeful and inspired.
This is not red or blue, left or right, liberal or progressive. It’s about standing up for our country, standing up for justice, and realizing that we are not a minority. Finding the strength to take the next step, understanding that we humans are still strong, and we are strong in numbers when we unite.

IColleen RothschildThe Bestsellers Sale is on25% discount on the most popular skin care products from this brandLoved it and used it consistently since 2016. My personal favorites:
- I thought I had active sensitive combination skin even though I used all kinds of cleansers and products for sensitive skin. Then I used theColleen Rothschild Radiant Cleansing Balmand it makes my skin happy and firm and lovely. I have tried other oil cleansers; IMO this is a GOAT.
- I keep the bottleFace Oil No. 9in my bedroom. I apply two pumps to my face and décolleté before getting into bed. It’s light, like a “seal” to all my skin care and adds lasting hydration.
- I shared the magic ofIlluminating Tinted Eye Creamon Instagram Stories yesterday; alone or under makeup it blurs and hides dark circles and darkness anywhere (hello marionette lines) without looking obvious and while moisturizing.

See/Hear/Read
This week we are doneMadison(Paramount+), Taylor Sheridan’s latest (Yellowstone) series. If it’s Taylor Sheridan you know there will be beautiful places during the golden hour, beautiful and slightly unstable women and strong and patient men who love them. And this one has it, with great views of Montana, Michelle Pfeiffer whose character Stacy Clyburn is strong and beautiful and broken, and Kurt Russel, a strong and patient man who loves her very much.
The idea is that Pfeiffer lives in NYC with her husband (Russell) as well as her two grown daughters and their families. Russell’s character is a rich guy from Wall Street in NYC, and while he loves his wife and family, a big part of his heart is in Montana, where he owns a plot of land and a combination of cabins on the edge of Madison Lake. Due to a family tragedy, the Clyburn family flies between Madison Avenue and Madison Lake.
This thread is not tied to itYellowstone; there are no overlapping characters or story lines. Six episodes in, and Season 2 is already being filmed and set to come out proper later this year. All women have not changed but not as Beth Dutton ofYellowstoneor Angela Norris ofLandmanstrong men but not in a conventional way, and my husband and I both enjoyed that and are looking forward to Season 2.
I can’t finish this review without talking about the beauty Michelle Pfeiffer (67) and her amazing hair in the series. From my research, it’s not a wig, it’s not extensions, it’s just shiny. And if you’re wondering about the Pfeiffer sunglasses on display, they’re the Celine “Baby Audrey” style CL4003IN. That color is found inAlexander Daasand tortoise and black options are available for regular or prescription lenses atThe Sunglasses Hut.

Who else remembers the Trashcan Sinatras? In fact, I didn’t remember the music, only the name, and when I saw it pop up in my YouTube algorithm, I went down music memory lane.
A Scottish group formed in 1986, the Trashcan Sinatras have sometimes been compared to The Smiths but are less well known. I would say their most famous song is “Chance Knocks.”
Well, the Trashcan Sinatras are back, releasing their seventh album this summer and releasing some early buzz singles. The latter says, “Bad Husband,” and if a woman’s voice sounds familiar, it’s Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell. And the characters in the video may sound familiar to you,
