4) Halogen makes these ‘No-Show’ underwear for women who don’t like thongs.  And here’s a shock, they actually prevent VPL.

6) Hair color feeling flat?  Try this dpHue Color Boosting Gloss to give it new life.

7) The science behind ‘I told you so,’ or why we’re better at making decisions for other people. (Fast Company)

9) Four s***ty work situations that get better when you speak up for yourself. (Marie Claire)

10) This coral ASOS Collection Wiggle dress is a fun choice for the office.  I also like this Uttam ponte shift in kelly green.  Plus-size?  This ASOS Curve Midi-Wiggle dress in pistachio is really pretty.

12) Need to jazz up your summer dresses?  This Delicate Teardrop Frost Strand and this turquoise and quartz Stevie Y Chain.
