Thrift stores have become a popular destination for people hoping to find branded products or iconic designer dresses at a low price, especially since people started flaunting their discoveries on the internet. Some have even bumped into ancient artifacts that had gone missing and could fetch a fortune. Although finding an actual diamond while looking for hidden gems among used products sounds like a dream, but it turned into reality for a woman at a garage sale. It all started when a woman went to a car boot sale in the late 1980s where bangles from a box of costume jewelry caught her eye and she bought the whole box for the bangles.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

I exfoliate my face bi-weekly—yet, save for the occasional clarifying shampoo, I rarely slough dead skin from my scalp. My lack of attention becomes particularly apparent in the soupy summer months, when sweat and product buildup (often from excess dry shampoo) mix and form a palpable film at my roots. Physical sensation aside, buildup hinders hair health and may even prevent strands from growing their strongest. As trichologist Gretchen Friese previously told InStyle, “Creating a healthy [scalp] environment for hair to grow is essential for thick, healthy hair.” The Aromatica Rosemary Scalp Scaling Shampoo is formulated to do exactly that—and, per shoppers, it creates thicker hair by proliferating strands.

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.
