Beauty finds help you look good, do good

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:36:28 GMT

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds down, it’s time to turn to the world of beauty — one of the industries that’s bes -known for raising funds for breast cancer research and educating the public about the cause.That really got its start in the early 1990s when a partnership between Self magazine and Evelyn Lauder emerged, and the very first pink ribbon popped up on the cover of the magazine, coinciding with over a million pink ribbons handed out at Estée Lauder makeup counters.But since then, not all products and brands that have followed such success over the years have been true bearers of the torch. While many have and deserve our admiration and support, others have been criticized for hyping breast cancer awareness and donating to the cause, while simultaneously filling their products with chemicals that may be potentially harmful for the women who use them.It’s something the community calls “pinkwashing,” and as Breast Cancer action.org describes it, it’s when “a compa...

Are job fairs worth investing your time?

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:36:28 GMT

Q. There’s a job fair in a few weeks at a big hotel. Is it worth my time? I’ve been looking for a job and haven’t heard back. Should I go? What should I bring, etc.?A. When I worked in recruiting, I made a lot of valuable connections with candidates. Some weren’t a fit and were clearly unprepared; others were savvy and prepared ahead of time. Since so much of job searching occurs online, you may find an advantage with less people there than you anticipate. Yes, I recommend going. Sport an interview suit or professional attire and hard copies of your resume.Research the companies that will be in attendance and look at their sites to see if there are interesting job openings. Have an elevator pitch prepared — you need to be succinct and articulate when meeting employers. Lastly, enjoy it! If you’re nervous or fidgety, that will come across. Be confident, relaxed and look at this as an opportunity to connect — if there aren’t job openings...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 06:36:28 GMT

LIDO, Venice, Italy – The Elvis Presley Sofia Coppola presents in her dissection of his marriage to Priscilla Beaulieu in “Priscilla” is far, far away from the glittery, doomed Presley of last year’s “Elvis.”Coppola, 52, adapted and directs Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir of her courtship, marriage and ultimate emancipation from the King of Rock n Roll.  As Priscilla, Callie Spaeny, a virtual unknown, won the best actress prize at September’s Venice Film Festival and is nominated in the same category for a Gotham Award. Australia’s Jacob Elordi, a teen dream in Netflix’s “Kissing Booth” movies and HBO’s “Euphoria,” is a very tall Elvis. Both are just 26.Coppola was intrigued once she read Priscilla’s “Elvis and Me” because, she said, “The setting of Priscilla’s story is so unusual as she goes through the things all girls go through. A first kiss, becoming a mother. These are things I can relate to — but it’s in this unusual setting with this legendary couple.“To me,” she conti...
