The effect is a little like the hair equivalent of makeup, with a spotlight cast on your facial features. Compare this to a style where your strands cascade downward and can pull the features and face down and you’ll see why it’s an especially enticing style choice for women over 40 and 50.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

And this year, there are so many popular fall 2024 nail polish colors to choose from depending on your tastes.

As soon as that first cool breeze blows, we start thinking about fall beauty. (Okay, who are we kidding? We start thinking about it on August 1.) Like spring, fall is synonymous with rebirth—putting aside the lazy days and sunkissed highlights of summer in favor of something warmer and richer. It’s kinda like swapping your summer Aperol spritz for a glass of red wine or hot cocoa when you really think of it!

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
