Luann de Lesseps’ Black Bikini on Instagram

Real Housewives of New York Instagram Fashion 2020

In case you didn’t know, Luann de Lesseps has been having a very hot girl summer as made very evident by this pic on Insta of her living it up on a boat in the Hamptons in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot black bikini. Which needless to say, was totally made to be shown off by the countess on the lower at sea level.

Fashionably,

It seems like just yesterday Lady Gaga was rolling out her big beauty line but it’s been an entire year. What even is time? Now, there’s a Haus Laboratories anniversary sale to shop to help celebrate the brand’s birthday. If you haven’t tried the line yet, now’s the chance to grab both neutral and colorful eyeshadow palettes, the already-iconic liquid eyeliner and dozens of bold lipstick and lip gloss colors. And if you have tried a few of the brand’s products, here’s where you can stock up on your faves for less—and with Amazon Prime two-day shipping.

You can’t really go wrong with any of Haus Laboratories products but we especially love the new-ish lip crayons that have a soft matte finish. Or play around with shimmer eyeshadow that goes on like a cream and dries matte. It seriously doesn’t crease so you can add a swipe or silver next to black for a totally Gaga look. Don’t miss the ultra-shine lip gloss, too. There are multiple neutral hues so you can do a glossy nude lip or a bold red or pink.

Shop all of our favorites at 30 percent off when the sale runs from July 14 to July 20.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Glam Attack Liquid Eyeshadow

This long-lasting blendable liquid eyeshadow comes in nine shimmer and four metallic colors.

We’ve been waiting three years for the next Wonder Woman film and now’s it’s only three months away (even if we have to watch it at home this time around.) To celebrate the October 2 release of Wonder Woman 1984, Revlon launched a Wonder Woman collection inspired by the colorful, bright shades of the 1980s. There are all-new shades plus a few iconic Revlon favorites in the limited-edition Wonder Woman packaging. Even better? You can shop it all on your next Target run.

This line is totally different from Revlon’s other recent collections, including the recent Sofia Carson launch, Ashley Graham’s many product drops and even the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel line. It’s brighter and bolder. There are still Revlon’s classic reds and pinks but also teal and hot pink eyeshadow hues, gold highlighter and glitter lips. You can wear it all now during the summer (even if just on a Zoom call!) and rock it all through fall when the movie debuts.

Shop some of our favorites from the collection below and start practicing your ’80s glam with contrasting eyeshadow colors and bold lips. We can’t wait to see the looks Gal Gadot rocks in the movie. They’re sure to be show-stopping.

By the time you reach your 60s, you’ve probably let go of some relationships.

Whether the parting was due to divorce, family conflict that got out of hand or a friendship that turned sour, most of us have moved on from at least one relationship.

That recognition makes me think of a woman named Bonnie I worked with years ago (please note names have been changed).

Her husband of over 30 years, Brian, was my actual patient. He had come into therapy to talk about his mistakes in their marriage. He admitted shamefully that he hadn’t been thoughtful of his wife, that his career had been his primary focus. She had moved with him to several different locations, and made a beautiful home for him and their children each time.

He realized, too late, that he had taken her completely for granted. He wanted to make whatever amends he could, but she was having none of it.

She Was Done

To help him fully, I thought it would be helpful to talk with her as well, if she would come. She agreed, and met us both for one session.

She said, “Don’t think I’m here to reconcile. I hate this man, and everything he stands for. But if it will help him be a better father, then I’ll tell you my end of the story.” Anger and bitterness spewed out of her, and she took little to no responsibility for what had occurred in their marriage.

I heard about Bonnie through the years. Her bitterness had overwhelmed her. It wasn’t contained and only focused on her divorce, but had spread to the other relationships in her life. I saw her once from afar. She wasn’t smiling, but sitting off to herself.

There are many people who formerly loved one another, yet hang on to hurt or anger. It’s one thing, of course, if there was abuse or violence. Moving as far away as possible, emotionally and maybe even physically, can at times be necessary. When the kids have been manipulated or hurt, it can be very difficult to reach some kind of truce.

The Limits of Our Perceptions

I’m not being a Pollyanna over here and wanting everybody to “just get along.” Yet as we age, we hopefully understand the limits of our perceptions. We realize that our individual way of understanding something, or even remembering it, is significantly colored by our own history, our personality, our strengths and our vulnerabilities.

Recognizing those limits, realizing that our perspective is just that – perspective – we might choose to acknowledge the importance of past relationships, even though they ended, and value what they meant to us.

Bonnie was never going to want to be around Brian. But a choice not be swept up in resentment – that can only damage her and her other relationships – would have seemed a much healthier choice.

You don’t have to be friends again. You don’t have to spend time with the person whom you’ve let go.

Finding Gratitude

Yet perhaps you can find gratitude for what they offered to you in life. Some people can accomplish this if there’s trouble. For example, if an ex becomes ill. But it might be nice to consider saying, in a letter, an email or over the phone, “You were important to me,” before a crisis occurs.

They may not accept it. They may be hanging onto their own resentment. But you may likely feel more contented. Unhooking from that resentment is freeing.

I’ve found a couple of books that might be helpful reading on significant relationships ending. My Other Ex: Women’s True Stories of Losing and Leaving Friends by Jessica Smock and Stephanie Sprenger takes an in-depth look at friendships ending. There are many books on surviving divorce, but if you’re divorced after 40, click here for a book written just for you.

You can now listen to my talks about Perfectly Hidden Depression and many other topics on my podcast, SelfWork with Dr. Margaret Rutherford.

What are you grateful for? Why do you think it is so hard for people to let go of resentment, even if they know that doing so will lead to greater happiness? Please join the conversation.
