It’s been four months since we’ve seen any new products from Harry Styles’ Pleasing beauty line, which seems like a lot longer than it is. But it’s Harry Styles. We can never get enough. That’s why we’re so excited Pleasing’s Hot Holiday collection is coming SO soon. Don’t worry — it’s not giving off Christmas vibes in July. This is your summer holiday on the Italian coast. Whether that’s actually the plan this summer or not, a girl can dream.

Hot Holiday features four new shades of the biodegradable, 12-free nail polish inspired by summer: Beach Ball (a deep ocean blue opaque gloss), Nonna’s Sorbet (a yellow opaque gloss), Harry’s Chair (a seaweed green opaque gloss) and Wet Bottoms (a high gloss, clear topper for a wet-look finish). We’re truly obsessed with these names. Each is meant to be worn alone or you can layer them for a more unique look.

Pleasing.

The Pleasing Polish Set retails for $65 for four shades, plus you get cute beach-y decals to adorn your nails. Beach Ball and Nonna’s Sorbet shades are also sold individually for $20.

Pleasing.

Joining the polishes are two new skin and body products and vacation-ready apparel items. You read that right — more clothes are coming! How excited are you and how cute are the campaign images from this collection?!

Pleasing.

Let’s talk skincare first. There’s the The Pleasing Spritz Probiotic Soothing Tonic ($25 at Pleasing), a calming face mist infused with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, Maris aqua, Euglena gracilis extract and bitter orange flower oil. Like the brand’s other skincare products, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free and non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores).

Pleasing.

Finally, there’s the Everybody Oil Matte Moisture Glow ($45 at Pleasing), a hydrating body oil with a matte finish. It contains ingredients such as chamomile, jojoba, evening primrose oil and buckthorn berry to
help your skin glow.

The Hot Holiday collection launches July 19, with apparel coming July 26, on the Pleasing website. You can also grab the collection at one of the many IRL pop-ups happening. Check the Pleasing Twitter account for details!

Chanel Ayan and Lesa Melan’s Studded Wedge Sandals

Real Housewives of Dubai Season 1 Episode 5 Fashion

The Real Housewives of Dubai understood the assignment. To be an official ‘Wives pool party, there must be at least one attendee in an embellished wedge sandal. And Chanel Ayan and Lesa Melan came in full force with some embellished wedges for the books. But based on availability and price, thankfully there are some good Style Stealers that will work just fine. Well, unless you’re going to a pool party in Dubai.

“Money does not change people, it unmasks them.” – Henry Ford

Most people
do not enter a marriage with the idea of ending it. But almost half of
marriages do end. Dennis and Meghan were married for almost 20 years and had
two teens.

Five years
ago, Meghan inherited half a million from her mother. She was, after all, the
only child her parents had. Aside from some fun family trips, she put the bulk
of the money, $350,000 to be exact, towards the mortgage of the family home.

Now, they are
calling it “quits.” Dennis had found someone else at work.

Commingled Assets

In the separation agreement and the dividing of assets the courts no longer saw the $350,000 that Meghan paid towards the mortgage as belonging solely to her because she had “commingled” it into an asset she already held jointly with Dennis.

An
inheritance received by one partner and kept separate from the other partner
remains the asset solely of the partner who inherited it.

But once this
is commingled to purchase a joint asset or to pay towards a joint debt, the
venture is deemed as a commingling of the asset, and it is no longer the asset
of the one who inherited it in the first place.

In many
states in the U.S., you could try and get your commingled inheritance back if you kept a very detailed paper trail of how much you
contributed. Meghan had not done that.

In her words,
“Who gets married with the idea you’re going to end up getting divorced? I
thought I was just helping out the family.”

Dennis made
substantially more than Meghan, who had taken time out to raise their two
children when they were younger. This “loss” of income in order to raise the
children would never be “recouped” by the child support she was awarded.

Once the matrimonial
home was sold, the balance of the mortgage paid off, and the proceeds divided
up, Meghan had to downsize to a much smaller house.

Her lower
household income no longer qualified her for a large mortgage, even with the
child support payments taken into account. It’s never easy to deal with the
financial fallout of a divorce, but a good book is Divorce & Money: How to Make the Best Financial Decisions During
Divorce.

A Different Scenario

Could Meghan
have done things differently? Most certainly. One way she could have approached
the situation was looking at her mother’s intentions upon assigning Meghan as
the beneficiary of the $500,000.

Would the
parent have wanted Meghan to commingle her inheritance if it meant giving part
of it away? What of the impact this decision ended up having on her
grandchildren as a result of the commingling of the inheritance?

Only Meghan’s
mother would be able to answer that question.

It’s All About Estate Planning

Estate planning is really a family affair. When you are preparing your estate plan, it may be wise to talk to your beneficiaries and explain your wishes.

There are
numerous ways to protect your family from unforeseen circumstances like death,
divorce, and disability.

In many
instances, you and your beneficiaries may have a shared vision on how you may
like your legacy to look like once you are gone.

But it all
starts with having “the talk” because it’s never ever just about the money!
It’s about loyalties, freedom, security, and even love!

Most women at
some point in their lives will have to make financial decisions on their own.
It’s never too late to learn the nuts and bolts behind how money works.

Meanwhile,
Dennis bought a new house and put his new girlfriends’ name jointly on the title,
without her putting a cent towards it. But that story is for another post!

What do
you know about estate planning in case of divorce? Would you consider talking
to your parents and children about estate planning? What do you think would be
the benefits? Let’s have a conversation!

There’s nothing more important than having multi-tasking products in your skincare cabinet. Though having a 10-step or more skincare routine is in vogue, versatile formulas save you both time and money, and isn’t that always the end goal? You might be wondering where the heck to start, but to keep it short and sweet, you really only need to find yourself a solid vitamin C serum. 

How could a single product be able to do so much? It’s simple: Vitamin C is known to promote collagen production, protect against free radical damage and smooth skin texture. All of that manifests itself in a radiant, even, youthful-looking complexion. That’s why Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C Serum needs to be in your shopping cart right this second. It’s a lightweight serum that taps on vitamin C, lactic acid and chia seed oil. Together, they brighten, exfoliate, protect and firm your skin so well that you’ll be shocked by the results. 

It’s not surprising that the product has earned a 4.6-star overall rating, with one shopper saying, “This serum makes my skin look clean and dewy. I’m obsessed. A must for anyone starting to see fine lines.”

If you’re trying to fade hyperpigmentation, get rid of tiny bumps on your skin and lessen the appearance of wrinkles, you’re in the right place. Dermalogica’s vitamin C Serum is ready to instantly transform your skin into an even brighter, dewier masterpiece.

A trio of key ingredients gives this serum its magical, skin-altering powers. The vitamin C complex is made up of two stable forms of vitamin C that work together to brighten and smooth your complexion. Additionally, lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, sloughs off dead skin cells to reveal a stunningly clear and glowy layer of skin. On top of all that, chia seed oil protects skin from environmental aggressors, which is always a must. With an ingredient list that good, we’re more than certain your skin’s about to serve.

“I could tell a difference in the brightness and feel of my face within the first five days,” wrote one reviewer. “As time went on I started to have a radiant glow. I had a few dark spots that are getting lighter by the day.”

To apply, use a full dropper of product and rub it all over your face and neck in both the morning and night. Be sure to do this after toning but before moisturizing to see the best results. 

“This serum works incredibly well in brightening dull, aging skin. I am very happy with the results in just the first few weeks,” wrote another shopper. 

Don’t put up with hyperpigmentation, uneven texture or damaged skin any longer; Dermalogica’s Biolumin-C Serum is here to bring all of the radiance, protection and clarity you deserve.
