For some brides, regular trips to Sephora and test-driving makeup artists aren't on the wedding to-do list. They are opting instead for a more au naturel look on their big day: faces dewey, eyes unshadowed, lips unstained.
The no-makeup movement seems to have been helped along by Alicia Keys, who almost two years ago, in a self-empowering statement, performed "Blended Family" on "The X Factor" sans maquillage.

Cannabis is having a skin care moment.
Beauty and wellness products containing cannabidiol (CBD), and possibly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), are becoming increasingly popular.
CBD, along with THC, are the two most common cannabinoids found in cannabis (a.k.a. marijuana), but they have different effects.

In late 2017, global information company The NPD Group released the Women's Facial Skincare Consumer Report, which showed that 40 to 50 percent of women buying skin care products actively seek ones that contain natural or organic ingredients. There seems to be a widespread perception that natural beauty products are somehow inherently better than the synthetically made products of our past. And, in some cases, that's the truth.

Our behavior is so intrinsically tied into our personal brand that the slightest bit of bad behavior can come back to haunt you for years to come. We used to think that we could hide behind our business but that's no longer the case. Our customers have access to us, via social media as much as in real life and we are being watched to see how we act and if we live up to our "stage persona". It seems the moral here is simple — assume you are always being watched and act accordingly.

 Technology and "big data" now make it possible for employers to monitor and record all aspects of what employees may do, say or write in the workplace. Employers have legitimate needs to monitor employees while at work, but the use of monitoring technologies is limited by a variety of federal, state and local laws and legal theories. Employers need to know about the range of these limits before taking any actions that may lead to litigation and employee issues.

Even the best lesson plans do not survive unchanged on first contact with students. Those who struggle will need modifications to help them learn, and advanced learners will need adjustments so that they're stretched for their personal growth and don't just regurgitate what they already know. Successful instruction plans for these differentiation needs — and highly effective instruction also involves students' readiness, interests and learning preferences.
