I’m Escaping Stress With Soothing Scalp Massages - and You Should, Too
I'm definitely overwashing my hair right now.
It's not getting any oiler than usual, and I haven't used a spritz of dry shampoo or popped open a tube of styling cream in nearly three months, so product build-up also isn't an issue.
Nine times out of 10, I've been wetting (and washing) my hair solely for the de-stressing scalp massages.
A long, hot shower (or a full bathtub with a glass of red wine and a good book) is my go-to tool for unwinding and releasing tension when my head feels like it's going to explode, or when I'm on the brink of stress-induced tears. Adding a scalp massage to the mix guarantees I will walk out of the bathroom feeling like a much calmer woman without a headache.
To ace my technique (and to attempt to re-create the glorious scalp massages I get at the salon before a haircut), I reached out to my hairstylist Erickson Arrunategui.
What makes a scalp massage so relaxing at the salon, in Arrunategui's opinion, is having someone else do it for you - a few minutes where you simply don't have to think. If you feel comfortable, he suggests having someone wash your hair for you - perhaps someone you're quarantining with or a significant other. You can even set up a makeshift hair-washing station in your kitchen or bathroom.
However, you can easily give yourself a scalp massage, too. First, wet your hair and apply some shampoo - Arrunategui says this will help your hands glide around the scalp for a soothing, relaxing experience.
I've been loving the Drunk Elephant Cocomino Glossing Shampoo ($25) because it's sulfate-free but still has an impressive lather.
Start at the sides of the head and massage toward the temples, working your way around the head.
"No fast motions and no scratching your scalp. Use the balls of the fingertips to really get rid of any tension you're holding in your scalp," Arrunategui notes.
Spend a few minutes massaging before you rinse.
Post-shower, I like to wrap myself up in a fuzzy robe, press play on an acoustic Spotify playlist, sit on the side of the tub, and take in a few deep breaths.
How's that for tackling a tension headache?

In Her New Vlog, Barbie Encourages Your Kids to Talk About Their Feelings While Staying Home
Barbie is more than a toy, she's a social icon - especially on YouTube. On Barbie's channel, the character's "Barbie Vlogs" series is highly viewed and aims to inspire kids and encourage them to be who they want to be. Although many videos include silly challenges and cameos from Barbie's friends, her latest vlog, "Making Sense of a New Routine," touches a more serious topic in a lighthearted way, as it encourages kids to get in touch with their feelings during this time of staying home.
"I am just so full of so many emotions, I can get cranky!" Barbie says in the episode, after giving a breakdown of what she's been up to while staying home. "Days like this are hard. . . and sometimes, we're just sad. And that's OK, too."
Throughout the vlog, Barbie reminds viewers that it's normal to feel upset and overwhelmed right now, and to miss their usual routines. She also offers suggestions on hobbies to pick up to keep busy, and tips on adding meditation to your routine to start each day with a sense of calm.
"As the #1 girls channel on YouTube, Barbie has a powerful platform to speak to girls in a relatable format covering relevant, and sometimes complex, topics in a digestible and age-appropriate way," said Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and global head of Barbie & Dolls at Mattel, told POPSUGAR.

Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra Were an Iconic '90s Couple, but Their Marriage Didn't Last
Among the many revelations in the docuseries The Last Dance is an account of the bizarre time when oddball basketball player Dennis Rodman married Carmen Electra in 1998. Their marriage was incredibly short-lived, but it was all the more memorable for its strange circumstances and sudden dissolution.
Electra and Rodman got married in Las Vegas on Nov. 14, 1998, after what People described as "an all-night bender." Only nine days later, Rodman filed for an annulment of the marriage on the grounds that he had not been of sound mind on the night when they got married. For a brief time, the couple reconciled and attempted to work things out, but the marriage was ultimately short-lived. Although they were frequently seen in public together in early 1999, by March of that year, they had filed for divorce, resulting in a marriage that lasted less than six months and was dogged with scandal and rumors of infidelity from the very beginning.
Looking back, it makes sense that their marriage failed, given the circumstances under which it had begun. Early into their relationship, Electra suffered a pair of personal losses: her mother died of brain cancer and her older sister died of a heart attack within two weeks of each other in August 1998. She married Rodman - on a whim, if the rumors of an impulsive marriage on a bender are true - only a couple of months after that.
After their divorce, both Electra and Rodman moved on to other relationships. Electra married again in 2003 to musician Dave Navarro; they divorced in 2007. She later became engaged to Rob Patterson, another musician, but the relationship was over by 2012, when she appeared on celebrity dating show The Choice. Rodman, meanwhile, was already on his second marriage, having divorced Annie Bakes in 1992 after two children and five years of a tumultuous relationship marred by accusations of abuse. He then married Michelle Moyer in 2003, with whom he had two children. Moyer filed for divorce in 2004, but the couple spent several years reconciling on and off until their final divorce in 2012.

8 Impactful Books on Race in America White People Should Read
Throughout this last week of May, protesters across America have demanded justice for the continued acts of fatal violence against Black Americans. In the wake of George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police - which followed the recent shootings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade - many people are asking what they can do to turn their opposition to racism into action. White Americans, especially, should be asking that question of themselves. To be better allies, we need to educate ourselves, donate what we can, demonstrate, speak out, and confront our own complicity - even when it's uncomfortable. And it's not a one-time exercise, but an ongoing process.
Earlier in the week, activist and writer Brittany Packnett circulated a list compiled by two white activists, Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein, on Twitter. The list is full of resources for other white people to educate themselves on race - books, podcast, articles, and films. The selection of books below is partly culled from and inspired by that list. It also includes additional books I've read in recent years that helped me understand how I can become a better ally, educated me on our nation's real history, and exposed me to new ideas and understandings about both systemic and interpersonal racism. These are books I think may help you do the same.
Education, of course, is just the start - but it's an important step that's incumbent on white Americans to take ourselves. Of course, these books are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the outstanding literature on the topic that's available, but I think they're a good place to begin:

Get to Know Michael Jordan's Kids - Jeffrey, Marcus, Jasmine, Victoria, and Ysabel
Legendary basketball player Michael Jordan has five children - his three eldest children with first wife, Juanita Vanoy, and his youngest two with his current wife Yvette Prieto. The former NBA MVP's sons both took after their dad and played basketball in school, but ultimately opted for different career paths after college. Two of his children even work for the Jordan brand currently, and you can see Michael and some of his family in the docuseries, The Last Dance, currently airing on ABC. The series about Michael's 1997-to-1998 season with the Bulls also touches on the basketball player's life, including his oldest children. Get to know them, as well as Michael's young twins, when you keep reading.
Jeffrey Michael Jordan
Jeffrey Michael Jordan was born Nov. 18, 1988. Jeffrey is Michael's oldest son with his first wife, Juanita Vanoy. He grew up with what he calls a fairly "normal" life with his siblings. He went to college at the University of Illinois to play basketball and transferred to the University of Central Florida to finish his college career. He played basketball there as well. He currently works for the Jordan brand and got married to his wife, Radina Aneva, in 2019. You can follow him on Twitter or Instagram.
Marcus James Jordan
Marcus James Jordan was born Dec. 24, 1990. He grew up with his family in the Chicago area and played basketball through school. He went to college at the University of Central Florida, where he was also a member of the basketball team. While there, the school was under a contract with Adidas and because Marcus refused to wear the brand's shoes - instead insisting on wearing Nike Jordans - the school lost millions in its contract. After leaving UCF, Marcus started his own company, Trophy Room, an online boutique selling predominantly Jordan fashion, inspired by the trophy room in the Jordan family residence. You can follow him on Twitter or Instagram.
Jasmine Mickael Jordan
Jasmine Mickael Jordan was born Dec. 7, 1992. She's the last child Michael had with his first wife, Juanita. She followed in her athletic dad's footsteps by finding a career in sports, though not as an athlete. She studied sports management at Syracuse University and now works for the Nike Jordan brand. She splits her time between Nike headquarters in Oregon, her mom's house in Chicago, and her dad's place in Florida, but she calls Charlotte, NC, home. She had a baby boy - Michael's first grandchild - in 2019 and named him Rakeem Michael Christmas, after his dad Rakeem Christmas, whom she met in school at Syracuse. You can follow her on Twitter or Instagram.
Victoria and Ysabel Jordan
Twins Victoria and Ysabel Jordan were born Feb. 9, 2014. Michael shares his twin girls with his current wife Yvette Prieto Jordan. Michael and Yvette met in 2008 and married in 2013 before having the twins just a year later. The twin girls are identical and are being raised at Michael and Yvette's home in South Florida.

This Photographer's Photo Series Shows Just How Badass Nurses Really Are
When photographer Katie Lacer first started taking pictures of the labor, delivery, and postpartum nurses who rush to the sides of women during the birthing process, she never thought it would spread like wildfire on social media. Lacer explained how the idea came into play to POPSUGAR:
"I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. For me, it's the anonymity. Those can be any mother's legs, with any nurse, in any hospital. Anyone that has welcomed a baby knows that moment, and we can all relate to it."
The photo series began picking up some serious speed when Facebook user Baby Rabies shared one of Lacer's photos thanking nurses for all they do.
The photographer says she's barely been able to keep her emotions at bay, but she loves capturing everything else that goes into a birth story:
"I call it 'hormotional'. I'm so overwhelmed (in the best way possible) and I'm thrilled that it's gotten such an amazing response. My ultimate goal as a photographer is to make people feel something, and I think that these images do that. It's real and vulnerable and shows that there's more to a birth story than a baby."
Here's a look at Lacer's full series.
Beyoncé Speaks Out About the Death of George Floyd: "We Cannot Normalize This Pain"
Beyoncé is speaking out about the death of George Floyd. On Friday, the singer shared a video on Instagram urging fans to seek justice for George by signing the petitions on her website, which include Justice for George Floyd on change.org, #JusticeforFloyd on act.colorofchange.org, and #WeCantBreathe on wecantbreathenational.org.
"We cannot normalize this pain."
"We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We're broken and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain. I'm not only speaking to people of color - if you're white, Black, brown, or anything in between, I'm sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now," Beyoncé said in her video. "No more senseless killings of human beings, no more seeing people of color as less than human, we can no longer look away. George is all of our family and humanity. He's our family because he's a fellow American. There have been too many times that we've seen these violent killings and no consequences. Yes, someone's been charged, but justice is far from being achieved. Please sign the petition and continue to pray for peace and compassion and healing for our country."
George was killed in Minneapolis on May 25 when police officer Derek Chauvin used his knee on George's neck to pin him down for an extended period even as he said he couldn't breathe. Four days later, Derek was arrested and charged with third-degree murder.

59 Retailers Selling (and Donating) Face Masks During the Coronavirus Pandemic
The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) has advised all Americans to wear cloth face masks while out in public to help minimize the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). These precautions were put in place to prevent the spread of the virus by those who are infected with it and are asymptomatic. The CDC advised wearing a cloth face covering when you're out in public places, like grocery stores and pharmacies, where the social distancing guidelines are harder to follow. For many before the pandemic, face masks were not a part of their at-home collection. Luckily, a selection of retailers have now made protective face coverings available for purchase. For those who do not have masks already or prefer not to make a DIY face mask, buying one is an easy alternative.
In order to properly wear a face mask, it must fit closely against the face, be secured with ties or ear loops, include more than one layer of fabric, allow for breathing, and be able to be washed without getting damaged. It's worth noting that while these cloth face coverings are not medical grade masks like the N95 respirators and surgical masks, which are being reserved for healthcare workers, they are still useful to put on when out in public. Wearing a cloth mask will not ensure protection against ingesting droplets, but it's a precautionary safety measure worth taking.
Ahead is a curated list of face masks that are available to buy online, including companies and brands that are doing their part by donating proceeds and masks to charities and hospitals to help those working against the virus. If you don't already have a mask or need another one for yourself or a loved one, shop these picks now and help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

"For Once, Don't Do It": Nike Makes a Powerful Statement on Racism and the Cost of Silence
With one word, Nike has turned their iconic slogan into a form of protest and a call for change. "For once, Don't Do It" is the title and first lines of a video released today on Nike's YouTube channel, which goes on to implore viewers: "Don't pretend there's not a problem in America. Don't turn your back on racism. Don't accept innocent lives being taken from us."
Though the video doesn't mention any victims by name, the timing of its release speaks for itself. The video comes four days after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, which has led to outrage and protests across the country. Police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Floyd's neck for seven minutes even as Floyd protested that he couldn't breathe, has since been arrested and charged with third-degree murder.
Activists have urged Americans to speak out and take action against the ongoing issue of police brutality against Black people, a statement echoed in Nike's video. "Don't make any more excuses. Don't think this doesn't affect you. Don't sit back and be silent," the video says. It's not the first time Nike has made a statement about social issues such as racism, doing so memorably with Colin Kaepernick's "Believe in Something" campaign in 2018, and with this latest, point-blank statement, the brand has made its position even more clear. At the end, the drumbeat of "Don't Do It" becomes a call to action: "Let's all be part of the change."
A Look at Chrishell Stause's Relationship History: From Matthew Morrison to Justin Hartley
While Netflix's Selling Sunset mainly revolves around luxury residential properties in Los Angeles, it also follows the lives of elite real estate brokers at The Oppenheim Group.

Though this may have been Chrishell's most publicized relationship, it hasn't been her only one. As we wait for Selling Sunset to return to Netflix on Aug. 7, keep reading for a look at Chrishell's past romances.

People Are Making Croissant Bites Stuffed With Nutella, Because Breakfast Is Best Served Sweet
I don't have any kind of culinary degree, but my inner pastry chef is flipping her toque over these mini croissant bites stuffed with Nutella. Originally posted by Sam Schnur, aka @thenaughtyfork on Instagram, the croissant cereal is inspired by TikTok's cookie cereal trend, and it's just as easy to make. So catch me munching on a bowl of this during my next Zoom call or while I'm catching up on all of Dead to Me.
In the video shared to her channel, Sam takes precut pastry dough triangles and slices them into even smaller triangles. She then adds about one teaspoon of Nutella to the widest section of each piece dough before rolling each triangle into a mini croissant. After a few minutes in the oven per the package instructions, each of the teeny-tiny croissants is ready to be thrown into a bowl and served up with milk or an extra drizzle of the chocolate-hazelnut spread. See how Sam makes regular and Nutella-stuffed mini croissants here, and keep reading to treat your eyeballs to something sweet.

Lush Is Slowly Reopening Its Stores Across the US, and We Can Smell the Good News From Here
Just when we could all use a nice long bubble bath to melt away our stress, Lush has announced that it will begin to reopen its shops all across the US and Canada. With plans to reopen each store as safely and mindfully as possible on a case-by-case basis, the cosmetics company hopes to have all of its shops in North America up and running again by early July, according to a press release. So, yes, I will be restocking my lavender Sleepy cream ASAP.
"The road back to normality is bound to be a little uncertain as the world changes around us, but we're committed to safely and consciously starting afresh together."
In order to prioritize the health, well-being, safety, and comfort of its staff and customers, Lush has begun the reopening process with a phased roll-out of contactless pickup. Shops have also begun opening at reduced capacity, allowing customers to order products online and pick them up in-store. Continued phases of reopening will be based on current local government regulations, CDC recommendations, the establishment of cleanliness standards, the availability of supplies and training in shops, and local staff comfort with reopening.
Newly established health and safety protocols require that all Lush team members wear face masks, and that customers do the same. In addition, staff members will be required to wash their hands before assisting different customers and regularly sanitize surfaces throughout the shop, including the cash desk and debit terminal after each customer transaction. Customers will also have access to clean sinks and soap for requested handwashing upon entry, no purchase necessary, and all payment will be contactless. For everyone's safety, beauty demos will remain on hold and social-distancing markers will be placed six feet apart all through the shops.
If you prefer to minimize personal contact with others even further, contactless pickup is available at select locations, and new products will be made available if you are not comfortable purchasing an item that is on the shelves. Shop managers are also offering one-on-one online consultations for anyone seeking advice on bath, shower, and skin-care regimens. Spokesperson Elisa Torres said, "The road back to normality is bound to be a little uncertain as the world changes around us, but we're committed to safely and consciously starting afresh together."
