Banana Republic Rereleased the 2012 Notorious Necklace in Honor of RBG
Just in time for Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's historic win for women everywhere, Banana Republic has rereleased its 2012 Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg-inspired Notorious Necklace ($98). Often called the Notorious RBG, Justice Ginsburg knew how to accessorize and was well-known for dressing up those drab judge gowns with statement collars. These collars weren't just mere accessories: Justice Ginsburg collars often signaled her approval or disapproval on court decisions.
In 2012, Justice Ginsburg received the Banana Republic collar as a gift after being named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year in 2012. She famously wore the necklace at an appearance of the Supreme Court one day after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016. In a 2012 interview with Katie Couric, Justice Ginsburg highlighted the necklace as her "dissenting collar . . . It looks fitting for dissent."
Banana Republic has rereleased the piece, and fans can't get enough! It's $98 and currently on backorder, but be sure to order now to receive it by mid-December, in time for the holidays. Even better, 100 percent of the proceeds from the Notorious Necklace go to the International Center for Research on Women.

Here's What You Should Know About Box Dye Before You Apply It to Your Hair
Hair-color changes are extremely common around this time of year, since there's something about fall and winter that encourages people to shift over to dark, matte tones when the weather gets chilly. But while there are tons of people out there who only consult the pros for their basic hair needs, others like to take the DIY route and color their hair using box dye.
If you're thinking about doing the latter, there are a few things you should probably know first. "Box dye is one of those taboo subjects when it comes to color sessions and salon topics," celebrity hairstylist Christin Brown told POPSUGAR. "As colorists, working with someone's hair that has been previously colored with box dye, you tend to steer clear for many reasons."
According to Brown, professional color and box color don't mix well, and people who dye their hair at home run the risk of overprocessing it. "I wouldn't recommend that folks do their own color and especially not with box dye," she said.
At-home hair-dyeing sessions have skyrocketed in the last few months due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and with talk of another potential shutdown happening before the year is up, it's easy to see why most folks will end up taking the at-home route. If you truly must dye your hair at home, there are a few things to know. First, Brown recommends you read all of the instructions in the coloring kit carefully, make sure you closely follow said instructions, and don't leave the dye on for any longer than you're supposed to.
Colorist Karissa Schaudt of Chicago's Maxine Salon added that you should also be wary of certain hair-dye ingredients. "In my professional opinion, I would avoid any color that contains ammonia in the developer," she said. Although this is an extremely common ingredient in the hair-dye industry, using it is ultimately a tradeoff; the powerful chemical damages your hair in the process.
After you've dyed your hair, you should follow that with a bonding treatment like Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment ($28) to strengthen the hair and protect it from damage.
Alternatively, you could also try a more temporary solution. "Whether you're contemplating highlights or just to cover your roots, a hair wax can be a fun way to try something new or a quick fix for unwanted grays," Brown said. One of her personal recommendations is the Hair Paint Wax Temporary Color ($7), which is made of natural ingredients and easy to wash out.
The takeaway here? While box dye isn't the worst thing in the world, many professional hairstylists would suggest you steer clear of it if you can.
Do You Keep the Morning-After Pill at Home? If So, Make Sure You Know the Expiration Date
Because the morning-after pill is most effective when taken right after unprotected sex, it's not a bad idea to keep a pack on hand. But Vandna Jerath, MD, FACOG, medical director at Optima Women's Healthcare in Colorado, warns against stockpiling emergency contraception for one specific reason: the morning-after pill is not something you take on a regular basis, and it eventually expires.
Once the expiration date has passed, the morning-after pill is no longer guaranteed to work as intended. "Expiration dates are designed to reflect the time period in which the medication retains its strength, quality, and purity, providing the medication is stored properly," Sierra Richard, PharmD, a women's health and pediatric clinical pharmacist, told POPSUGAR.
Dr. Richard went on to explain that the further out from the expiration date you get, "the less effective the medication will be, lowering your chance of preventing pregnancy." She added that the pill's efficacy can drop even further the longer you wait to take it after having unprotected sex.
While the morning-after pill can have a shelf life of three to five years, it's important that you store it properly during that time. Dr. Jerath advises against storing medications of any kind in areas with high humidity, which can render the ingredients less effective. "Stray away from bathrooms where steamy showers are present; humidity should be avoided," Dr. Jerath told POPSUGAR. "Ideally, a dry drawer or cabinet at room temperature would be the right place."
To make sure you never find yourself stuck with an expired pill in an emergency, Dr. Richard recommends cleaning out your (dry and cool) medicine cabinet every three to six months and setting a reminder in your phone to throw out medications when they're near expiring.
Everything We Know About Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's 8 Pets
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend often share photos and videos of their two human children, Luna and Miles, but the pair are also mom and dad to a number of animal babies. Although Chrissy and John's oldest dog, Puddy - who they referred to as their "firstborn" on many occasions - passed away in March 2018, the pair are also mom and dad to two birds, four dogs, one bearded dragon, and, as Chrissy put it in August, "one still-alive hamster."
Keep reading to learn more about the family's eight current pets - as well as the late Puddy - and to see some adorable photos and videos of them all.

On Repeat: Little Mix's Performance of Their New Single "Sweet Melody" at the MTV EMA
Little Mix had a big (and busy!) night at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday. In addition to hosting the event and being nominated for four awards, they also had the chance perform "Sweet Melody," the new single off of the group's most recent studio album, Confetti.
"What an honor! To present the MTV EMA's is a dream, it's such a special event," the group said in a statement to MTV in anticipation of the event. "We've always loved watching the spectacular performances and seeing who everyone has voted to win. This year we'll also be performing our new single 'Sweet Melody,' our second EMA performance. The show will go on and we can't wait!"
It's safe to say their much-anticipated performance delivered. The choreography, vocals, outfits, and video-game-like set gave it the incredible virtual-reality-meets-actual-reality vibes.
Unfortunately, the group were a woman down for the live event, as Jesy Nelson couldn't attend due to illness, according to a spokesperson for the band.
Little Mix was nominated for best pop, best group, best virtual live for "UNCancelled", and best UK and Ireland act, and they won best pop and best UK and Ireland act. Congrats!
Alicia Keys's MTV EMA Performance Included a Moving Stage and a Dazzling Face Mask
Alicia Keys may have been back home in Los Angeles, but that didn't mean she missed out on participating in Sunday's MTV Europe Music Awards. The singer performed her new song "Love Looks Better" in the face mask to end all face masks. Sitting at her piano in an embellished face covering and matching top on a glorious moving stage, Keys was quite literally dripping in diamonds from start to finish. Complete with a signature Keys piano, the moving performance was followed by a touching tribute to Eddie Van Halen and a pretty impressive costume change from Little Mix.
Her MTV EMA performance comes just a month after Keys surprised fans with a new look during her performance of "Love Looks Better" at the Billboard Music Awards in Los Angeles on Oct. 14. Watch the singer's performance above!
Maluma Performed at the MTV EMA From the Most Epic Miami Apartment
Maluma made his MTV Europe Music Awards debut this year with a dreamy performance of both "Djadja" and "Hawái". The Colombian singer, who was also nominated for best Latin artist, performed a mix of the two tracks with an impressive lineup of backing dancers and some seriously impressive views of Miami.
Kitted out in typical Maluma fashion, the singer attended the award ceremony in a suave red suit with his dancers bringing all the glitz and glamour to the stage. Set in a pretty swanky-looking apartment complete with an actual rooftop, it's safe to say his appearance was one not to be missed.
His performance at the 2020 MTV EMA comes just a month after the Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he sang "Hawái" and was honoured with Billboard's Spirit of Hope Award.
Check out a clip of the singer's performance above!

From London to Los Angeles, the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards Were Truly a Global Event
The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards had a truly global feel; the show was filmed across multiple locations around world due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Much of Sunday's event took place in the United Kingdom, with performances from Sam Smith, Zara Larsson, Yungblud, and Little Mix, who, in addition to performing their their new single, "Sweet Melody" (the group's second ever EMA performance), also hosted the show. Unfortunately, the girl group had to take on their hosting duties as a trio instead of a quartet, with Jesy Nelson unable to attend due to illness.
Alicia Keys performed her new song "Love Looks Better" in Los Angeles, Maluma sang both "Djadja" and "Hawái" from a pretty epic penthouse in Miami, while David Guetta went all out with a set and light show performed on a stage built in the pool of the Széchenyi Bath in Hungary.
Presenters such as Rita Ora, Barbara Palvin, Bebe Rexha, and Winnie Harlow were also broadcast from across the globe.
As for the awards themselves, Lada Gaga, who led the charge with seven nominations, walked away with best artist, H.E.R. won best video for good, Karol G won best Latin, and BTS won best group. Look ahead for photos of the winners, hosts, and performances from the 2020 MTV EMA.
Jesy Nelson Misses Out on Hosting the 2020 MTV EMA Due to Illness
Little Mix star Jesy Nelson wasn't able to attend Sunday's MTV European Music Awards due to an illness. News of the illness comes just after she also missed the final of the group's brand-new show, Little Mix: The Search, which naturally left their fans pretty concerned. The show follows the girls on their quest to find the next hottest band and gives fans a glimpse into their friendship and life on the road, and it showcases just how much they've all grown since the days of The X Factor.
A rep from the band revealed in a statement: "Jesy is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight's final of Little Mix The Search. She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow's MTV EMAs."
David Guetta and Raye Performed "Let's Love" With an Epic Light Show at the MTV EMA
A day after being named the best DJ in the world by DJ Mag, David Guetta walked away with the best electronic music award at Sunday's MTV 2020 European Music Awards. To celebrate the major win, Guetta performed his new single "Let's Love" from his most recent album of the same name, which originally features vocals by Sia but was instead performed by British artist Raye.
Guetta's special set was the most epic performance of the night, as the French DJ streamed live from a stage built in the pool of the Széchenyi Bath in Hungary immersed in a spectacular light show. While some fans were a bit gutted that Sia wasn't able to make the stage with Guetta, Raye's incredible voice and undeniable talent gave the up-and-coming singer a debut performance that was a defining moment of the award show.
Above, watch Guetta's live performance of "Let's Love" for the first time with Raye.
Sam Smith Made a Powerful Statement About Inclusion During Their MTV EMA Performance
Just a couple of weeks after Sam Smith finally released their third album, Love Goes (which they decided to delay and rename due to the coronavirus pandemic), the singer got the chance to perform their new single, "Diamonds," off the album at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards on Nov. 8.
Smith's incredible performance wasn't just striking because of their dancing (which they teased to preshow host Becca Dudley as their first time dancing while singing on stage), but it also made an important statement about inclusion. The closing shot from the performance saw Smith facing the backdrop with a message that read, "Don't f*ck with the queer kids." The bold red backdrop and lightning graphics along with the powerful messaging and stunning vocals made for one memorable performance.
In addition to the moving performance, Smith was also a nominee at the EMA, up for best collaboration for their duet with Demi Lovato, "I'm Ready."
On Repeat: Little Mix's Performance of Their New Single "Sweet Melody" at the MTV EMA
Little Mix had a big (and busy!) night at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday. In addition to hosting the event and being nominated for four awards, they also had the chance perform "Sweet Melody," the new single off of the group's most recent studio album, Confetti.

Little Mix was nominated for best pop, best group, best virtual live for "UNCancelled", and best UK and Ireland act, and they won best pop and best UK and Ireland act. Congrats!

The Colombian singer, who was also nominated for best Latin artist, performed a mix of the two tracks with an impressive lineup of backing dancers and some seriously impressive views of Miami.
Kitted out in typical Maluma fashion, the singer attended the award ceremony in a suave red suit with his dancers bringing all the glitz and glamour to the stage. Set in a pretty swanky-looking apartment complete with an actual rooftop, it's safe to say his appearance was one not to be missed.
His performance at the 2020 MTV EMA comes just a month after the Billboard Latin Music Awards, where he sang "Hawái" and was honoured with Billboard's Spirit of Hope Award.

From London to Los Angeles, the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards Were Truly a Global Event
The 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards had a truly global feel; the show was filmed across multiple locations around world due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Much of Sunday's event took place in the United Kingdom, with performances from Sam Smith, Zara Larsson, Yungblud, and Little Mix, who, in addition to performing their their new single, "Sweet Melody" (the group's second ever EMA performance), also hosted the show. Unfortunately, the girl group had to take on their hosting duties as a trio instead of a quartet, with Jesy Nelson unable to attend due to illness.
Alicia Keys performed her new song "Love Looks Better" in Los Angeles, Maluma sang both "Djadja" and "Hawái" from a pretty epic penthouse in Miami, while David Guetta went all out with a set and light show performed on a stage built in the pool of the Széchenyi Bath in Hungary.
Presenters such as Rita Ora, Barbara Palvin, Bebe Rexha, and Winnie Harlow were also broadcast from across the globe.
As for the awards themselves, Lada Gaga, who led the charge with seven nominations, walked away with best artist, H.E.R. won best video for good, Karol G won best Latin, and BTS won best group. Look ahead for photos of the winners, hosts, and performances from the 2020 MTV EMA.
Jesy Nelson Misses Out on Hosting the 2020 MTV EMA Due to Illness
Little Mix star Jesy Nelson wasn't able to attend Sunday's MTV European Music Awards due to an illness. News of the illness comes just after she also missed the final of the group's brand-new show, Little Mix: The Search, which naturally left their fans pretty concerned. The show follows the girls on their quest to find the next hottest band and gives fans a glimpse into their friendship and life on the road, and it showcases just how much they've all grown since the days of The X Factor.
A rep from the band revealed in a statement: "Jesy is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight's final of Little Mix The Search. She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow's MTV EMAs."
Ciara Filmed the Joyful Moment She Told Her Daughter About Kamala Harris's Historic VP Win
Ciara celebrated Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's projected election win with her family, and she wanted her daughter, Sienna, to know exactly why this is a victory for all women. On Nov. 7, after Pennsylvania's votes pushed the politicians into winning territory, Ciara shared her reaction to the president-elect and vice president-elect on Instagram.
"How amazing is it that the first woman vice president is in the White House?" Ciara asked her 3-year-old. "And she's also a woman of color. It's so powerful. We can do anything we put our minds to, right?" Sienna sweetly echoed her words, and added a "Go girls! Go everybody!"
Sienna also added a quick "and the COVID's over!" before Ciara quickly corrected her - "COVID's not quite over sunshine." We're with you there, Sienna, we wish all that good news came at once. However, Ciara has high hopes for Biden's administration and so do we. "I believe that Joe Biden, President Biden, is going to be the right president to get us on the right track." Watch their adorable interaction in full, above.
