When Your Childhood Hero Fails You. There’s a genocide happening in Burma, and their Peace Prize-winning PM doesn’t care.
When You Need an Easy Updo. This simple chignon has real promise.
What I’m Buying. I’ve heard great things about these towels from Amazon.

I love the poppy blouse – but – what is the deal with such wide necklines? I’m only a B cup and I’d be popping out of that blouse. Yes, I know that tanks can bridge the “gap,” but it also changes the silhouette and beauty of the cut. I work on the Hill and I could NEVER wear a blouse like that for risk of scandalizing CSPAN. And it’s often a problem I run into when shopping for tops and dresses. I just returned a Boden wrap dress for the same reason (https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/clearance/womens-dresses/day-dresses/ww213-ivo/womens-ivory-sunglasses-lara-wrap-dress). Am I missing something? I’m kind of petite but overall I don’t think I have a body that is all that different from most women in this area of my body.
What was the verdict on the towels?
For the price, they’re really good. I think the Costco ones might be a little better, but my Costco doesn’t sell bath sheets, and I like the bigger towel.
Thank you! I’m not a cosco member so they’ll have to do!
