If You Live In One Of These 46 States, Your Mail-In Ballot Might Not Be Counted On Time
Another day, another barrier is put in place to prevent people from voting.
21h
In an already unprecedented political landscape, things aren't looking so bright for mail-in voters heading into November's election. In 46 states and Washington D.C., post offices received a warning that mail-in ballots may not be counted on time to count on election day, according to a report by the Washington Post.
<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/usps-states-delayed-mail-in-ballots/2020/08/14/64bf3c3c-dcc7-11ea-8051-d5f887d73381_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-high_uspsstates-230pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans" target="_blank">The following states could be impacted</a>: Alaska, Wisconsin, Maine, New Hampshire, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, Wyoming, South Dakota, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Arizona, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Washington D.C. </p><p><a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/14/politics/usps-warn-states-mail-in-ballot-delivery/index.html" target="_blank">USPS General Counsel Thomas Marshall said in a letter to California</a>, "Certain deadlines concerning mail-in ballots, particularly with respect to new residents who register to vote shortly before Election Day, appear to be incongruous with the Postal Service's delivery standards. This mismatch creates a significant risk that some ballots will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under your laws as we understand them." </p><p>While <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/08/14/902545891/amid-fears-about-mail-in-ballots-election-officials-havent-met-with-new-postmast" target="_blank">various states are trying to get a meeting set up with Postmaster General</a> Louis DeJoy, no response has been given by DeJoy who was appointed in May to his position.

23h
FOX
"New Girl" is one of the best sitcoms of all time. Honestly, it is so much fun to watch, so much fun to relate to, just all around a great show.
Not only is a great show, it has so many different great settings, obviously including the loft. If you live by Nick Miller quotes and desperately tried to learn how to play "True American," you need to buy these things because you are a true "New Girl" fan.

I Asked 9 People About Their Most Embarrassing Date Stories, And They Truly Made Me LOL
"I couldn't wait to get out of there."
14 August
Photo by Wiktor Karkocha on Unsplash
If you've ever been in the dating game, or currently are, chances are you've had a date gone wrong. These are often times super embarrassing, but they are always funny to look back on.
<p>
Here are some stories from other people, for your entertainment...
</p><p>
<br>
</p><h2>1. Paula, 27</h2><p>
"When I was in high school, a guy asked if I wanted to go to the movies that weekend. James Cameron's 'Avatar" has just come out and it was all anyone was talking about. He made it sound like a group thing, nothing unusual amongst our class and group of friends. It wasn't until I got there and saw that it was just the two of us and he had already paid for my ticket and popcorn that I realized I was on a date I had not known I'd agreed to. I didn't want to be rude and just leave, so I spent the almost 3-hour long movie avoiding his moves to try to hold my hand and making sure I wasn't giving off any potential signals he might have misread. It was so excruciatingly uncomfortable for me, and the worst part is neither of us were old enough to drive at the time, so I had no choice but to awkwardly wait with him for almost an hour afterward making small talk until my mom came to pick me up. I still cannot watch or even think about "Avatar" without feeling uncomfortable."
</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646980143-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot(window._sectionAndPostAdSettings+'/feed_1x1', [1, 1], 'div-gpt-2646980143-content-ad').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2646980143-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><h2>2. Anonymous, 22</h2><p>
"Met this guy online and decided to meet. He failed to tell me that he lied on his profile about his height (by at least 3-4 inches) and was bald. It was so bad that I didn't even recognize him when we met at the restaurant."
</p><h2>3. Margaret, 21<br>
</h2><p>
"I drove an hour to go on a date with a guy from Tinder. He seemed sweet, so I thought why not. He was really good at keeping conversation on Tinder, so I expected the date to go smoothly. Low and behold, it didn't. He sat there kind of looking around the room the whole time and I had to try to make conversation, and when I did, he would barely respond. It was awkward and the server could tell. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I didn't see him again after that and we stopped talking. Yikes."
</p><h2>4. Leigh, 30</h2><p>
"I went on my first date in over a year after a really bad breakup. I didn't tell my mom, who started frantically calling my friends when I didn't answer my phone (because I was trying to be in the moment at dinner), which then led to her calling the restaurant I was at...and the server came by to tell me that I needed to call my mom back. The guy and I never went out again."
</p><h2>5. Anonymous, 25</h2><p>
"A guy I met on a dating app took me on a date to a shopping mall. It turns out this is a horrible activity for a date with someone you barely know. We ran out of stuff to talk about super fast and so we just walked in and out of stores, looked at random stuff, but we didn't buy anything. I didn't want to try any clothes on because he was either going to have to just sit and wait for me or I would have to model the clothes for him, which was not appealing at all. The worst part though was when we went into LUSH. I let one of the employees demonstrate a super soft hand scrub on me. After she used the scrub on my hands, she looked at my date and asked if he wanted to feel how soft they were. He literally just poked my hand with one finger. It's safe to say we had zero chemistry and that was the last time we ever saw each other."
</p><h2>6. Mary, 27</h2><p>
"I was on a second date with some guy who I had a decent first date with. We went to see a movie and he was all over me the entire time. I was super uncomfortable, but I was giving him a chance. Until we got dessert. We started talking about education, and he claimed to know more about the education system than a public school teacher with a master's degree in education. The argument got so heated I stood up, told him to have a great night, and walked out on the date."
</p><h2>7. Michelle, 26</h2><p>
"I went out with the head of the marching band in my college for a bit (super nerdy I know), but he was very nice and cute and loved "The Office" so I was interested. We had planned to hang at my apartment so I could impress him with my homemade meal (I don't really cook). Anyway, I made an amaaazing dinner for the both of us and when he arrived he kinda mentioned how busy his week was with the band, school, and friends, but forgot to mention he was insanely sleep-deprived. We ate dinner and had great conversation. But I kept thinking that he was falling asleep while standing up and sitting down. Eventually, he was drooling on my kitchen counter and I just couldn't help but laugh and send him home so he could get some sleep. Two weeks later, I was the one getting ghosted. Oh, men. What can we do."
</p><h2>8. Lynda, 40</h2><p>
"I went to meet a guy I met on an app and he was not what I expected in person (very small physique). Within 10 minutes he asked me if I felt like I was feeling "too old and running out of time" to have kids. I was only 32 at the time. Then he made some snotty remarks about the gin I ordered and he held out his pinky finger to drink. Such a dork. I couldn't leave fast enough."
</p><h2>9. Marilyn, 21</h2><p>
"I don't know if I should share this one or not because it is EMBARRASSING to the maximum, but I will. I went on a date with this guy in a frat on my campus and we got drunk. Long story short, I threw up all over him. Non-stop for like, 5 minutes. I'm banned from going to parties at that frat now. Pro tip: don't puke on a frat guy"

Sabrina Carpenter Swears By Brazilian Sol De Janiero Bum Bum Cream For Her Uber Soft Curves

"You're supposed to put it on your butt, but I like to apply it on my neck because it feels like a natural perfume. It smells like heaven. I use it as my perfume, a moisturizer, it's a multitude of things!"</p><p><strong>Once I heard about this product, I knew I needed to look into it myself. </strong></p><p>I mean, a moisturizer that smells good enough to be used as a perfume essentially?

10 Relationship Tips Miley Cyrus Dropped On 'Call Her Daddy' That We Can't Stop Thinking About
She came in like a wrecking ball with the truth.
14 August
When I say we can't stop thinking about the relationship advice Miley Cyrus dropped on "Call Her Daddy" today, I mean it literally.
Her truth bombs hit me (and most who listened) like a wrecking ball and coupled with the release of her new song "Midnight Sky," we're going to need some time to process the greatness. In case you haven't listened yet (what are you waiting for?), here are 10 relationship tips Miley shared that we should all live by for the rest of time.

1. Find someone who gives as much as (if not more than) they take from you
</h2>
<p>"Someone has to bring more to the table than their plate, they can't just be 'fill me up' all the f*cking time."</p>

3. Focus on the logic post-breakup instead of getting lost in the emotion
</h2>
<p>"Try to not get lost in the emotion... Focus on the logic. Make a list of what you were gaining and what you were losing, what they were contributing to your life and what they were subtracting, and to value each of these things by one through 10 and then you add them all up. If the person was adding more to your life, then you know what is expected from your next relationship and what they were subtracting you know you will not accept ever again."</p>

4. Set yourself up for success so you don't end up disappointed
</h2>
<p>"As someone that's living a sober lifestyle, don't go to the club looking for your next partner. Put yourself in places where you'll be successful so you don't get stuck on 'I'm just always wasting my time with all these people.' You can really control the kind of people who are going to flow in and out of your life. You can create a filtration system. So I have filtered my life of what I will accept and what I will not."</p>

<h2 data-role="headline">
5. Surround yourself with people you admire (in all parts of life)
</h2>
<p>"Look at the people that matter the most to you. My mom matters the most to me of anyone, so I write down her qualities of what I love about her and I try to find people like that because one day I may not have my mom on this earth and I want to have people that keep her spirit alive through them. And I do think that there's little sparks of we're all kind of one and we've all just divided into our own little sources of energy and our own little souls, but we're all kind of one in a way, I think. So I think that I can find little pieces of her in other people."</p>

7. Check your cholesterol because it may be affecting your sex drive
</h2>
<p>"When you have low cholesterol it affects your sex drive. When I'm working, I don't eat as regularly, then my cholesterol gets low. Your cholesterol controls all the hormones in your body, so when you get low blood sugar, low cholesterol, not eating snacks and things like that, by the end of the night, if I'm hungry, I'm definitely not horny. You've got to check your cholesterol... It creates all your hormones and it will change your life."</p>

8. Stop trying to force a relationship to work

<p>"I've been in love with I would say one person who is a girl that I still think about and dream about all the time. But you just know that something just doesn't fit and that's something I learned a lot about in therapy too, you just can't try to fit this f*cking square into a circle. Because you start driving yourself to a place where... trying to make something that is physically impossible work will drive you insane."</p>

Lifestyle
Founders Of Color: Rec Room's Dre Taylor On What Blackness Can Look Like And Not Working For Free
"It mattered to me that when we were depicting racial diversity for Rec Room, we showed the broad spectrum of what Blackness can look like."
13 August
Rec Room
The world of sustainable fashion is inundated with marketing gimmicks, false advertising, and large corporations cutting corners — Rec Room is the pure antithesis of that.
<p>Built upon the principle of "the spot at your friend's houses where all the fun happened," <a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a> is a brand all about lighthearted fun and comfort rooted in profoundly admirable morals and values that, in the fashion world, are extremely rare to find.</p><p>At <a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a>, it's all about feeling comfortable and confident in order to put your best foot forward. I was already convinced I loved the Italian-milled, California-made, and ethically manufactured fabric before putting it on my body. The company isn't just ethical in their practices — they also do a lot of good by supporting conservation and waste reduction initiatives.</p><p>As I eagerly unwrapped the package their PR team was kind enough to send me, I felt the silk-like fabric of their red open-back dress in my hands and was actually surprised. As someone with an interest in sustainability whose job it is to write about fashion, I thought I had tried and felt every ethically-manufactured fabric out there — and, to be honest, they kind of all feel the same. <a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a> is totally different. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646972086-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {

googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2646972086-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p>The fabric feels like one of the silk sarees I wear to Indian events, but it stretches like the squat-proof leggings I work out in. </p><p>Putting it on was the closest I could get to being naked in public, and I couldn't have been happier to have an outfit to add to my roster of cute outfits to pull together when I want to look more put together than I feel.</p><p><a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a> is the brainchild of co-founders Dre Taylor Lindsay and Val Young — the two met and bonded over a desire for an effortlessly chic wardrobe in business school. <a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a> wasn't just their answer to the story, it's an embodiment of their partnership as two strong businesswomen — something you can see the second you visit their site or join their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/r.e.c.r.o.o.m/" target="_blank">Instagram community</a>.</p><h2>What is the story you hope to tell with Rec Room?</h2><p><a href="https://rec-room.com/" target="_blank">Rec Room</a> was created out of my friendship with my cofounder, Val. That's the bedrock. We were hanging out so often, and always in leggings, and we realized women didn't have dedicated comfy hangout clothes; activewear was a poor stand-in — after all, it was designed for the gym! </p><p>We started Rec Room with the intention to capture the essence of how you feel when you're your most comfortable, which for us, was around friends. That attitude also influenced why we named our brand Rec Room. Growing up, the rec room in your friend's basement or at the community center was the place where the fun stuff happened.</p><p><strong>It's where you felt most like yourself. When our customers wear our pieces, we hope it captures a little bit of that feeling. </strong></p><p>Our brand also reflects the fact that our friendship is one between a white woman and a Black woman. Not only does that emphasis on diversity shine through in the brand, but we also started a homegrown initiative (inspired by 1% for the Planet, which we're also a part of) called <a href="https://rec-room.com/blog/racial-justice-initiative" target="_blank">1% for Racial Justice</a>. </p><p>We've committed 1 percent of our ongoing gross sales to organizations working to battle systemic racism in the U.S. The first beneficiaries are the <a href="https://thelovelandfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Loveland Project</a> and the <a href="https://eji.org/" target="_blank">Equal Justice Initiative</a>.</p><h2>What has been your biggest challenge and highlight as an entrepreneur?</h2><p>Challenge: I don't come from a traditional fashion background, and neither does Val. </p><p><strong>We built our brand because we saw a need and because we lived the pain point ourselves. </strong></p><p>But not having connections in the industry meant we had to leverage the skills we could bring (especially the business side — we met in business school) to find the right partners in supply chain, manufacturing, branding, and more. </p><p><strong>It's an ongoing journey to identify the talent and team that makes Rec Room the great place it is.</strong></p><p>Highlight: Prior to Rec Room, I came from a sales background at Google. Parts of that experience have always stuck with me, so nothing lights me up more than hearing positive customer feedback. </p><p>It's like a sugar high! One of my favorite things a customer told us was that when she was packing for a two-week trip she essentially only packed Rec Room and underwear.</p><h2>How much does coming from a marginalized community play into the way you do business?</h2><p>Two things come to mind here. </p><p>First, I think so many apparel brands get it wrong when depicting racial diversity in their campaigns. </p><p><strong>There's a standard, one kind of "look" that the Black model is supposed to check a box for. </strong></p><p>I come from a Black family where everyone is a different shade and a different kind of hair, etc. It mattered to me that when we were depicting racial diversity for Rec Room, we showed the broad spectrum of what Blackness can look like. </p><p>That's what makes our vision of a diverse Rec Room both authentic and reflective of the community and audience we serve. </p><p><strong>Our team is equally diverse — over half of the team identifies as a person of color and our lead designer is also Black, which is unique among apparel brands. </strong></p><p>Second, I am intensely aware of the fact that rest is a real privilege and one that underserved and underrepresented diverse communities don't often get to participate in. </p><p>Our brand was founded with the mission to help women find comfort, and we feel strongly about helping that mission and our products reach these communities that otherwise don't get the opportunity to participate in the whitewashed culture around wellness. </p><h2>How important are social media and community building within your business?<br></h2><p>Unfortunately, our most meaningful community-building efforts happened in person and offline, prior to COVID (with shared workout classes, coffee shop pop-ups, and more). </p><p><strong>Now that we're all spending a greater amount of time online, we're shifting our audience engagement to social media. </strong></p><p>We've done several Instagram live interviews with influential women like Hitha Palepu and classes with 305 fitness. We have also grown an extensive network of women who hustle and act as brand ambassadors for us with their digital communities.</p><h2>What advice would you give the upcoming generation of entrepreneurs coming from marginalized communities?</h2><p>Coming out of Stanford for both undergrad and business school, I saw the oft-cited common problem in Silicon Valley: entrepreneurs of color are often over-mentored and underfunded. </p><p><strong>Find just a few key mentors you want in your corner, but then insist on "hiring and wiring" — don't give them free ideas, don't give them free work — make them hire you for it. </strong></p><p>Don't let them put you through an incubator for founders without the expectation that they'll wire you the capital as part of your fundraising. Insisting that they understand your worth will lead to more opportunity.</p><h2>What can we expect from the future of Rec Room?</h2><p>This fall, we've got brand new styles launching that extend beyond our core offering of dresses. We're going to release pants, separates and co-ords, a jumpsuit, and layering pieces so that Rec Room can take you all day, season to season. </p><p>We're also in the process of developing more inclusive sizing so that plus-size women will find even greater comfort wearing our pieces. </p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

5 At-Home Therapy Tips You Need, No Matter What Your Therapy Routine Is
Whether you're in a Zoom session or live-chatting, make sure your home therapy space is good to go.
13 August
No matter what stigmas you held about therapy before this year, I'm sure 2020 has affirmed that we could ALL use a nice long therapy session. Between wildfires that took over an entire continent, a global health crisis, and what's sure to be one giant circus of an election in the United States, we need help and we need it now.
The fact of the matter is, therapy has been a helpful, valid resource long before the world decided to become one giant dumpster fire. Having a safe space to discuss what's going on in your life, worries you have, and struggles you're facing has become a very normal thing for individuals' mental health.
<p>As 2020 has taken a lot of aspects of our routines and thrown them out the window, it has added other features that we may not have thought of before. Sure, maybe you're not going into a therapist's office for a session anymore. But maybe you found <a href="https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/online-therapy" target="_blank">an online option</a> that is a fantastic stand-in! Or maybe you're entirely new to the therapy world and looking to jump in the deep end of your mental wellbeing. </p><p>No matter where you are in your journey with therapy, there are a few things you can add to your home routine that may help make your experience a little more comfortable. </p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

<p>Many individuals who practice meditation have a designated meditation pillow (or entire corner of a room) that's purpose is their quiet time. As you cannot physically go to a therapist's office right now, making a space specifically for this portion of your day may help signify its importance. </p>

Move Over, Starbucks — Dunkin' Just Dropped Pumpkin Spice Lattes And I've Already FALLen For Them
I'll be at Dunkin' next week if you need me.
13 August
Dunkin' just announced that they'll be releasing their fall menu earlier than ever — set to debut on August 19 — and that it'll include new menu options this season, including a new signature pumpkin spice latte. Let me just say, Starbucks has some fall-menu competition now.
<p>I've been on Team Starbucks for as long as I can remember. </p><p><strong>Just recently though, my family started going to Dunkin' more and more, and it's honestly been growing on me a lot. </strong></p><p>This new announcement just adds to my list of excitement over the brand.</p><p>Dunkin' described their upgraded pumpkin spice latte on their website, <a href="https://news.dunkindonuts.com/news/answering-the-call-for-fall-dunkins-signature-pumpkin-spice-latte-and-fall-menu-arrive-august-19" target="_blank">saying</a>, "Elevating PSL to another level of enjoyment, the Signature Pumpkin Spice Latte – available hot or iced – combines rich, smooth espresso with pumpkin and vanilla flavors, topped with whipped cream, a caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar topping."</p><p>And let me just say, that sounds amazing. Since I began college a couple of years ago, I've become an avid coffee fan — I even work as a barista on campus — and this combination of flavors sounds incredible. </p><p><strong>I honestly cannot wait to try it!</strong></p><p>In addition to the PSL, Dunkin' is also releasing other new options, like a chai latte, stuffed mini bagels, steak and cheese rollups, and maple sugar seasoned snackin' bacon. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646970975-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
googletag.defineSlot(window._sectionAndPostAdSettings+'/feed_1x1', [1, 1], 'div-gpt-2646970975-content-ad').addService(googletag.pubads());
googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2646970975-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p>These are all in addition to the recurring fall menu options, such as the pumpkin flavoring that can be added to any coffee drink, apple cider donuts and munchkins, pumpkin donuts and munchkins, and the maple sugar bacon breakfast sandwich.</p><p><strong>These fall treats are exactly what we need now. I'm already fantasizing about pairing a pumpkin spice latte with an apple cider donut!</strong></p><p>This fall might be pretty crazy, and things may not look anything like how they used to, but at least Dunkin' is giving us some sweet treats to look forward to this season.</p>
