I’ve typed and retyped a million clever intros for this week’s Happening Now.
None of them clicked enough to hit the publish button though.
Sometimes I have to remind myself to KISS- keep it simple sweetheart.
So without further ado, I will let these news pieces speak for themselves.
Nars, the cult classic brand, is FINALLY bringing their dreamiest shade to a nourishing lip balm. Orgasm is the perfect orangey pink with the loveliest amount of shimmer. I currently own the blush, lipgloss, nail polish and the multiple in the Orgasm shade and I’m counting down the days till I can add this to my makeup bag!
Y’all I can’t even with how excited I am about the fact a Star Wars theme park is in my future!!! I’m a total SW junkie and being able to live the movies in real life will be a childhood dream come true. Anyone else with me?
On a more serious note, the city of Cape Town, South Africa is facing a serious water crisis. The city is facing Day Zero when the water will be shut off. At the moment, residents are allowed 13 gallons of water a day for cooking, drinking, cleaning and self care. To put it in perspective, the average American uses 88 gallons a day! This article from Glamour talks with the women of Cape Town and how the water crisis has changed their beauty rituals and daily lives. Information is power- perhaps this story will give you the knowledge to be more aware of water use to prevents such crises from happening in our cities.
What news did you connect with this week?
I would love to read your suggestions!
Have a wonderful weekend babe.
It’s so saddening, and eye opening that slowly areas of the world are experiencing a water crisis! We in the developing world take it for granted, and overuse water…

Such a Star Wars fan too!!!! I am so sad about the water crisis in Cape Town. In Los Angeles, this summer will be difficult too as it did not rain and we had a lot of fires. Hope it won’t be a disaster this summer.

CA got nailed by such terrible fires last year. It was heartbreaking to watch! Definitely in prayer about water for multiple places. SW is the best!!!!!

Hmm! News over here! We have a new puppy! And on a serious note been listening to the news about Trump and a meeting with South Korea’s leader.
Author
Awwwww! What type of pup did you get? That meeting would be insane- anything involving those two is definitely worth keeping an eye one. Enjoy the weekend with your new family member!!!
Thanks for sharing all of your happening now! It truly breaks my heart hearing about the water crisis in cape twon. Really makes me think about how much water I use each day and to not use as much.
Also, will definetely have to try out NARS lipstick.
