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.

A lady is cautioning others about purchasing budget earrings from Amazon, Shein, and H&M, after she experienced keloid formations on her earlobes due to wearing them. On a TikTok post that has garnered more than 334,000 likes, Sailor Rozema (@sailor.rozema), a content creator, shares a warning with her community of "dangly earring girls": the inexpensive jewelry found in fast fashion can have negative impacts on your well-being.

Color trends are as fickle as fashion, but one thing’s for sure: designers’ love of green is, well, evergreen. For the past five years at ELLE DECOR, we’ve seen kitchens painted sage, entryways lacquered emerald, and—most recently—the internet doused an acid shade of “brat.” Green, especially in its paler variations, is known to soothe the eye and evoke the biophilic magic of the natural world. But increasingly, we’ve seen designers turn to its darker, moodier cousin, dark green. And it’s easy to see why: Not only can a deeper verdant shade create an enveloping and snug atmosphere, but it can also bridge the void between what’s inside your home and what’s just outside your window. Plus, because of its associations with nature, green has the uncanny ability to feel neutral, even if it may be a bit bolder than you’d typically venture.
