Lush Joins The Fight For Transgender Equality

The cruelty-free UK-based brand, Lush, announced on Twitter that for the next two weeks they're bringing the issue of discrimination against transgender individuals into the spotlight of their North American stores.

They have stripped their storefront windows of their usual displays and replaced them with the products from their "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" collection along with quotes from their transgender and non-binary employees relating to their identities and community pride.

Within this collection, Lush offers two products: a bath melt and a Charity Pot.

"Inner Truth" is a pink and blue heart shaped bath melt in which the product's colors were inspired by the transgender flag.

The Charity Pot body lotion has been a staple product of the brand as the proceeds always go "to small grassroots organizations."

100% of the sales from these two products go directly to organizations who are fighting for transgender rights such as the National Center for Transgender Equality. In addition to these two body products, Lush offers small booklets to their in-store customers which detail "how to be a trans ally."

From the collection's name, Lush has been spreading the hashtag, #TransRightsAreHumanRights, throughout their numerous social media pages. They've been focusing on sharing the personal stories of their transgender and non-binary employees on social media as well as offering statistics on their website relating to the various daily struggles that these individuals face.

If there isn't a Lush near you and you still want to help the cause, you can order these products online and learn more about the movement here!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
