And the winner of the 2018 Color of the Year is .... *drum roll please* ULTRA VIOLET!

We are blessed to have this rich shade of violet be the front-runner for the latest trends. This royal shade makes any skin tone shine brighter than the smile that completes the Queen draped in this. The classic summery bohemian style to simply posh to ultra edgy, this shade fits every lifestyle. Here are seven ways to incorporate this shade into your wardrobe.

1. Dresses on dresses on dresses

It's a summer must-have: the perfect sundress. Whether it is loosely fit or tight around your luscious curves this dress will make you shine beyond belief. Dress up with chunky sandals or beauty waves for a laid-back vibe or gold t-strap pumps and matching hair pieces for the perfect wedding guest dress.

2. Bag it up

Bags are a must for those long days at the beach and to dress you up at the tiki bar later in the evening. From Totes to petite crossbody's, you will have the perfect pop of color. Pair with holographic keychains or a soft silk scarf to complete the look.

3. Throw some shade

Good shade, that is ... Protect your beautiful eyes with ultra violet-tinted shades. Mirror sunglasses will always be a reigning fad. Stand out with this unique style to complete your everyday look.

4. Paint on some eye-catching makeup

There is nothing more satisfying than getting the perfect blend of your shimmery eyeshadow... OK, maybe getting the perfect winged eyeliner is. Deep purple makes every eye color pop, especially with the addition of chrome glitter. Spruce up your look with a matching lip color or purple high lighter.

5. Show your locks some love

Doesn't every girl dream to dye their hair some crazy beautiful color? I know I wanted purple all throughout my hair. Dark purple highlights to whole head coverage is still in the spotlight this season. Go safe with a semi-permanent or go big at your local salon. Pair with butterfly clips and floral accents to give you a delicate fairy vibe.

6. Decorate those claws

Ultra violet purple belongs on nails. It's shimmer and deep hue makes every skin tone pop. This shade is not too dark to wear in the summer, as it changes pigmentation as different light hits it. Shape your nails any way you want for the classic bad *ss look.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
