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.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.

The Galactic New Year is here! The Lion’s Gate Portal is activated and ready to create greatness on August 8 (8/8). The Lion’s Gate Portal is the unification of the Leo sun and the fixed star Sirius (which represents wealth, abundance, luck, and good vibes). Sirius is found, for the stargazers, on the lower left side of Orion’s Belt. When Sirius “rises” and the sun’s light shines on the star, Earthlings get a great view of the cosmic action. Since this star is considered a mix of action planet Mars and lucky Jupiter, it is a celestial tool for attaining greatness.

As a tween who came of age in the ‘00s, there was nothing I wanted more than to dye my hair every color of the rainbow. With their flame-red streaks, pop-punk princesses Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams were my beauty icons — but my parents didn't entertain the thought for even a millisecond. Now that I’m 30, I tend to think they were probably right — boring, sure, but right; I can count on one hand the number of times my brunette — almost black — hair has been touched by bleach. (I was well into my 20s the first time I colored my hair, and it is strong, thick, and healthy as can be.) However, I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t want to experiment with my color, and as Refinery29's senior writer with a penchant for all things beauty, I’ve had a front-row seat to virtually every hair color trend to grace our FYPs: That being said, only one shade has caught my eye in recent years: “Expensive” brunette.

Ina Garten’s Instagram feed is basically just my dream board. Her gardens, her kitchen, her cooking skills, even her crisp button-downs with the popped collars — all of it is aspirational to me. So when Garten posted a photo of a fresh bouquet of roses to her feed that were displayed in an item I’ve seen thousands of times at the thrift store, I realized that living like Garten could actually be more attainable than I thought (excluding the home in the Hamptons, of course).
