While in Washington, DC, for the Ford's Theatre Gala, Melania Trump decided on a more demure look. Rather than opting for a dress with embellishments or a bright color like she has in the past, Melania opted for a simple silhouette with a champagne-hued gown by Filipino designer Monique Lhuillier.

You'll Never Skip a Day of Sunscreen Thanks to These 12 Sephora Bestsellers
We're constantly told to slather on SPF year round to protect our skin. But many women (us included) are guilty of skipping the step because, despite its multiple benefits, traditional SPF doesn't always wear too well on the skin. Many sunscreens have a thick consistency, which leaves your skin oily and creates a slippery canvas for makeup when applied to the face. Sunscreen also tends to leave behind an unflattering white cast, which can translate as chalky in photos (and on people of color), that alone causes most of us to nix SPF altogether.
But the bottom line is: sunscreen is essential for minimizing the risks of skin cancer, sunburn, and hyperpigmentation. So whether you're an SPF devotee or a sunscreen skeptic, we've rounded up some of Sephora's top-rated formulas so you have no more excuses when it comes to protecting your skin. These will guarantee your face is moisturized, guarded, and white-cast free!

Here's what we know - and what we can deduce - about season five.
Brits Respond to the Suggestion "Britain Is Reeling" in Exactly the Way You'd Imagine
Following the attack on Saturday in London Bridge, the New York Times ran a story with a headline that suggested the nation was "reeling" following this and the other recent attacks in Manchester and Westminster. Unsurprisingly, Brits were quick to respond on twitter with typically dry wit, questioning the use of such a strong word.
This sort of hyped-up headline does the terrorists' job for them. UK isn't "reeling" @nytimes http://pic.twitter.com/KKesMHHIFY

The hashtag #ThingsThatLeaveBritainReeling quickly began to trend, with people sharing their own ideas of the kind of things that would really leave Brits reeling. They include the weather, tea, and manners, but none of them involve letting the actions of a few extremists leave a lasting mark on such a strong, resilient city. Here are just a few of the best contributions.

21 Unexpected Beauty Uses For Coconut Oil
There are very few beauty products that we can honestly say are cure-alls, but coconut oil comes pretty close. You can use it for everything from healing scars to moisturizing dry knees. Recently, all the talk about relying on this oil for fresh breath got us thinking: what can't coconut oil do? The answer: mattify (and it took us a minute to come up with that one). Celebrities like Emma Stone count it among their favorite natural ingredients, and you should, too. We just stuck to the beauty applications here, but there are tons more tasks it can handle, from starting fires to losing a few pounds. So head to your local health food store, pick up a jar, and allow this list to help you get creative with coconuts.
Selena Gomez's Dress Is Modest With the Perfect Touch of Sexy
We've already dubbed Selena Gomez the reigning queen of Spring street style, and her latest outfit just further proves she's beyond deserving of her hypothetical throne and crown. The star was recently spotted out and about in New York City looking as polished and elegant as ever. At first glance, we thought her dress - a navy blue number with a large button closure and exaggerated shoulders - was a modest choice. But then she turned to the side and we immediately noticed how the dress showed just the right amount of skin beneath its billowing shoulders.
She paired her Jacquemus wrap dress with a pair of simple ankle-strap heels by Louis Vuitton. Ahead, shop Selena's exact dress, along with other similarly chic options.
This Bride's Lavish Wedding Dress Draped Over Her Horse, Which She Rode Into the Reception
Swimwear designer Leslie Amon just made the case for a short wedding dress. For her big day, Leslie walked down the aisle in a one-shoulder poufy sleeve Giambattista Valli creation that was both dramatic and bold. The embellished minidress hit mid thigh while a long, white train flowed out behind the bride. The fashion house even gave her dress a shout out on Instagram.
Leslie had a star power moment of her own when she arrived at the reception on a white horse. After, at the beautiful dinner held at the Palace of Versailles, which was Marie Antoinette-themed, Leslie ditched her lace-up heels for a pair of cool light-up sneakers that magically matched her stunning wedding dress. And if you thought the gown looked familiar, it's because the design's reminiscent of Kendall Jenner's recent Cannes look, also by Giambattista Valli. Scroll on to see all the best 'grams from the wedding.

An Open Letter to the "Hot Mess" Moms Struggling to Keep Their Sh*t Together
As a mother herself, Mia Carella knows the struggle, uncertainty, anxiety, and turmoil that many parents are dealing with daily. But she also has an unexpected message to other women going through it:
To the Mom Struggling to Hold Her Sh*t Together,
I have something important to tell you, mama: I don't see you.
Now, don't stop reading just yet. Please hear me out. It's true I don't see you, but I know what you are going through.
I know that these days you are almost always exhausted and fueled by caffeine and anxiety ... I know that more than once a day you scream on the inside, "There's only one of me!" I know you feel deep mommy love, as well as deep mommy guilt, for not being the person you think you should be.
Mia is personally familiar with the days when you just want to run away but instead escape to the grocery store and stay in the car a bit longer than necessary just to savor the alone time. Mia is also aware of the endless to-do lists that stack up while you're trying to raise tiny humans, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disorganized, and even flawed. "I know the weight of responsibility sometimes feels so heavy you can barely move," she wrote in a post on Scary Mommy. "I know you worry that you are not patient enough, present enough, fun enough, or even enough at all. I know all these things because I feel them too. I don't see you, but I am you."
However, just because Mia knows the internal chaos doesn't mean she sees others going through the same thing, because those struggling to hold their sh*t together work so hard not to let it show:
Like me, you wear a brave mask. You smile to hide your stress, even on the bad days. You get up every day, put yourself together, and do what needs to be done. You are strong. You are Mom.
No, I do not see you struggling, mama. In fact, it is quite likely that the only one who sees what you view as your "weaknesses" is you …
Please remember this the next time you feel like the only hot mess mom at the playground. It may not be obvious by looking around because we all wear our own masks, but you're not the only one who feels like they're dropping the ball in one way or another. It is OK. That is why we have each other. And wine. Or chocolate. You choose.
You got this, mama. Give yourself a break. Having our sh*t together all the time is overrated anyway.
Love,
Your Fellow Hot Mess Mom

11 RBD Songs That Will Bring Out the Rebel in You
RBD was one of the biggest, if not the best, Latinx groups of the 2000s. The band - which spawned from the hit telenovela Rebelde and included Anahí Puente, Alfonso Herrera, Christian Chávez, Christopher von Uckermann, Maite Perroni, and Dulce María - took on a life of its own, earning two Latin Grammy nominations and selling millions of albums worldwide. Sadly, RBD parted ways in 2009, but fortunately each member has managed to remain in the spotlight in their own respective way - and so has their music. Get ready to go back in time and listen to their best songs.

Step Into a World Where Hillary Clinton Is President and Trump Is Learning How to Read
While watching President Donald Trump's first address to Congress on Feb. 28, *Blake thought: "Where is the real president, Hillary Rodham Clinton?" In an alternate universe, Clinton had addressed the joint session and it had gone well - too well.
Blake covered the news on her satirical website called HillaryBeatTrump.com. Its tagline reads "Hillary Rodham Clinton: America's 45th President. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with the headlines from her first term."
Sigh.
On HillaryBeatTrump.com, we see headlines like "New York Times Slams Clinton For Giving 'Yet Another Excellent Press Conference," "Clinton 'Can't Wait' For White House Correspondent's Dinner, Kate McKinnon to Host" and "'Creepy' Billionaire Betsy DeVos Turned Away From DC Public School: 'Literally No Reason She Should be Here.'"
Bill Clinton? He's settling into his role as first gentleman by fussing over White House curtains.
As for Trump? He's been overheard singing Jackson 5's "ABC" as a "learning device." And Bill Clinton? Well, he's settling into his role as first gentleman by fussing over White House curtains.
Blake, a 30-year-old professional writer who lives in Boston, launched the website in mid-January. It has become her full-time job, and four other people in their 20s write for the site part time, including a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer who reached out to Blake after coming across the website.
"After the election, I was unprepared to concede the fundamental fact that Hillary Clinton should be our president by virtue of that fact that she won 3 million more votes than Donald Trump and by virtue of her excellence as a woman and public servant," Blake told POPSUGAR in a phone interview. "A nontrivial part of the project is having her back."
She blames the late-in-the-election intervention by FBI Director James Comey as well as the reported interference by Russia as the the reasons Trump won. When it comes to his presidency so far, she can describe it in two words: illegitimate and horrifying.
The website isn't just about bashing Trump or praising Clinton, either. It dreams up other realities like Ted Cruz framing OJ Simpson and an undocumented immigrant beating Ann Coulter at Jeopardy!. Blake says that's because her site is meant to be an all-encompassing "pugnacious, biting" commentary on the state of American democracy today.
She's working on incorporating advertising to earn money, but for now, she's trying to keep up with the volume of visitors. In the last two weeks, there have been almost 600,000 visits to the site. "I've gotten some really touching emails from people saying it's the only thing that's made them truly laugh since the election," Blake said.
Would she ever characterize her work as fake news? Oh God, no. "It's clearly situated within the genre of satire," she said. "But that fact that seems to escape right-wing people" who have been sending her emails, telling her to take down her "fake news" and calling her a "liberal snowflake" who needs to acknowledge that Trump is president.
"It undermines the legitimization of Trump's presidency but is an optimistic vision of what American nearly was."
Still, she sees it as a safe space for liberals who remain in denial about Trump's presidency. "I think in some way my premise is powerful because it both undermines the legitimization of Trump's so-called presidency but is an optimistic vision of what American nearly was," she said. "And we know what the future looks like and it's glorious. Hillary Clinton's raising more minimum wage and she's got the most diverse cabinet in history - it's something I think the left can rally around and it's not depressing." That future, after all, is still possible, and millions of people voted for it.
What's next for the site? "I would love to expand coverage and hire more writers so our audience receives the most accurate journalism of Hillary Clinton's first term," Blake said. She's even started a White House petition for official press credentials. The reason? To combat the "fake news" about Clinton's first term.
"On major social media sites like Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter, thousands of Trump voters are living out their lives under the misimpression that Donald Trump is president!"
*Blake isn't her real name. She asked that we use a pseudonym so as not to attract a "tidal wave of right-wing attention" against her.
You Can Almost Feel the Love at Ariana Grande's Manchester Benefit Concert
Thousands of fans gathered at Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester benefit concert in England on Sunday. The event honored the victims of the bombing during Ariana's Manchester show on May 22 and brought out a handful of stars, including Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry. The concert kicked off with a moment of silence and also paid tribute to the victims of the recent London Bridge attack.
In addition to performing a few of her famous hits, Ariana delivered an emotional speech, in which she opened up about meeting one of the victims' mothers over the weekend. "I want to also say I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia [Campbell]'s mommy a few days ago. And as soon as I met her I started crying and I gave her a big hug and she said that I should stop crying because Olivia wouldn't have wanted me to cry. And then she told me that Olivia would have wanted to hear the hits."
It was initially unclear whether the concert was still on given Saturday's attack, but Ariana's manager, Scooter Braun, released a statement on Instagram prior to the show saying the show would continue. "After the events last night in London, and those in Manchester just two weeks ago, we feel a sense of responsibility to honor those lost, injured, and affected," he wrote. "We plan to honor them with courage, bravery, and defiance in the face of fear. Today's One Love Manchester benefit concert will not only continue, but will do so with greater purpose. We must not be afraid, and in tribute to all those affected here and around the world, we will bring our voices together and sing loudly." Keep reading for all the best photos.
Step Into a World Where Hillary Clinton Is President and Trump Is Learning How to Read
While watching President Donald Trump's first address to Congress on Feb. 28, *Blake thought: "Where is the real president, Hillary Rodham Clinton?" In an alternate universe, Clinton had addressed the joint session and it had gone well - too well.
Blake covered the news on her satirical website called HillaryBeatTrump.com. Its tagline reads "Hillary Rodham Clinton: America's 45th President. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date with the headlines from her first term."
Sigh.
On HillaryBeatTrump.com, we see headlines like "New York Times Slams Clinton For Giving 'Yet Another Excellent Press Conference," "Clinton 'Can't Wait' For White House Correspondent's Dinner, Kate McKinnon to Host" and "'Creepy' Billionaire Betsy DeVos Turned Away From DC Public School: 'Literally No Reason She Should be Here.'"
Bill Clinton? He's settling into his role as first gentleman by fussing over White House curtains.
As for Trump? He's been overheard singing Jackson 5's "ABC" as a "learning device." And Bill Clinton? Well, he's settling into his role as first gentleman by fussing over White House curtains.
Blake, a 30-year-old professional writer who lives in Boston, launched the website in mid-January. It has become her full-time job, and four other people in their 20s write for the site part time, including a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer who reached out to Blake after coming across the website.
"After the election, I was unprepared to concede the fundamental fact that Hillary Clinton should be our president by virtue of that fact that she won 3 million more votes than Donald Trump and by virtue of her excellence as a woman and public servant," Blake told POPSUGAR in a phone interview.

How NYX Became THE Mass Brand at the Top of the Social Media Hierarchy
NYX Professional Makeup, a budget brand with the payoff of higher-priced alternatives, started as a line that catered to professionals in the industry. And it still does. But now, the power of social media has allowed it to appeal to a vast market of influencers and their makeup-loving fans. It's done this by creating affordable products for artists of all levels and by focusing on diversity within the makeup community.
You may know the brand's story, but if not, here are the Cliff Notes: NYX Professional Makeup was founded in 1999 by Toni Ko in Los Angeles, catering to the burgeoning makeup artist community in SoCal. Ko sold the brand to L'Oréal for $500 million in 2015, left her post at the cosmetics company, and is the brain behind millennial-centric brand Perverse Sunglasses. (She's clearly got a knack for creating successful brands.)
The brand sold to L'Oréal for $500 million in 2015
NYX provides professional, trend-driven products at a price point that won't break the bank. Think liquid lipsticks for $7 a pop, glitter pigments for $6, and eye shadow palettes around $15. Tribe Dynamics, a marketing technology company for lifestyle brands, reports that NYX was in the top five cosmetics brands for March 2017 when it comes to earned media value - a benchmark metric which determines the earned publicity through digital word-of-mouth. In layman's terms: people are talking up a storm about NYX online.
NYX (pronounced "niks") was initially only sold in CVS, Target, and Ulta Beauty before opening its first retail location at Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia, CA, in 2015. In the past 18 months, the brand has opened over 100 retail locations, including shops in France and Thailand, and it just added a storefront at The Miracle Mile Shops in Las Vegas. The stores were created with social media in mind, featuring large vanities with digital tutorials led by influencers, so consumers can follow along while testing out products before they purchase. Lines for store openings frequently round the block and start overnight.
"What we wanted to do was bring the ultimate expression of brand to our fans," said Nathalie Kristo, global marketing manager of NYX. "What we were noticing, of course, was how they were interacting on social media and digital in this makeup world. We thought, 'Why don't we bring a place where we combine digital and social media with our 2,000 products and create a place where we can play with makeup, discover new looks, [and] follow tutorials on how to create the latest makeup looks?' We aimed to translate all of the energy that we've had with our online community into a physical place."
Bringing Democracy to Makeup
It's rare that a brand appeals to professional artists and also caters to YouTubers and the regular makeup junkie alike. For NYX, the focus has always been to create a space that celebrates artistry of all calibers.
"For us, it stems from the mission this brand has: artistry for all. This idea that everybody can have access to professional makeup products," said Kristo. "That everyone can have access to the latest makeup looks. And that's what social media has done. They've really helped democratize makeup artistry. It used to be a pretty closed circle - you used to have to go to school and gotten a certificate or certification. With social media, it's allowed people to teach each other and to learn and to become more DIY. It's about bringing creativity, artistry, and the passion for makeup to everyone."
Part of that passion led to the founding of The Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites Awards, or FACE Awards for short. "The NYX Face Awards is like the Olympics of makeup," said Nikita Dragun, whose YouTube channel has over 550K subscribers, and who appeared at the opening of the Miracle Mile Shops location.
"The NYX Face Awards is like the Olympics of makeup." - Nikita Dragun
The socially driven competition pits artists against each other through a series of makeup challenges. Many top YouTube talent are alumni of the awards, and semi-finalists and finalists from previous years have re-entered the 2017 competition. New talent is also welcomed into the pool - and it can help catapult their careers. The Top 20 were just announced for this year's competition, which culminates with a live event on Aug. 19, where the winner walks away with $50,000 and title of beauty vlogger of the year.
"The Face Awards, for example, has been a platform where a lot of upcoming makeup artists or influencers of today are alumni. We've known them since they've been starting out," said Kristo. "We've done what we can to advance them and their careers and we're really proud of that. We're really happy to see them grow and flourish." 2015's winner, Mykie of Glam & Gore, had 350,000 subscribers when she was announced as a Top 30 contestant; two years later, she currently touts over 1.98M subscribers and has worked with studios like Lionsgate.
Innovation Based on Consumer Hacks
NYX prides itself on producing trend-worthy products at a moment's notice, which allows them to easily get in on major social media moments while the iron is still hot. "When we see something brewing online, we quickly go into product development, and then we bring it to market as fast as possible. If we see people using products in interesting, different ways, it maybe tells us "Oh, there's a need for this,'" said Kristo. For example, the creation of Macaron Lippies, which feature vivid neon and pastel shades, were created after the team saw consumers using the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk ($4) and layering bright eye shadow shades on top to create a pastel pop.
"[If] they're using a product in a way it's not meant to be used in order to do something else, it gives us an idea that maybe there's something we need to bring to market," said Kristo.
Inclusiveness in Product and Social Media
NYX, while mass market, isn't overshadowed by prestige brands. Tribe Dynamics reports NYX as ranking within the top five brands on almost all digital social channels (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Blogs) in terms of earned media value, and it is the only mass brand within a sea of prestige like MAC Cosmetics, Benefit Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Too Faced, Tarte, and Urban Decay. In fact, no other mass brand is in the Top 10 ranking companies. According to Statista, NYX ranks as the No. 4 beauty brand in Instagram followers, thanks to its 11.1 million fans to date.
"We've built this community over many years. We were one of the first brands to understand the power of social media through makeup," said Kristo. "What we've done on social media is really celebrate the artistry of everyday people. Our Instagram account is a platform to celebrate, whether it's really sophisticated makeup artists, influencers, or everyday people that are interpreting makeup in different ways."
"What we've done on social media is really celebrate the artistry of everyday people." - Nathalie Kristo
The brand focuses on inclusivity and diversity, offering a variety of shades that caters to all races. The Lip Lingerie line features 24 shades of "nude" matte liquid lipstick; the Total Control Drop Foundation also features 24 shades, including fair, light, medium, and deep with varying undertones.
"NYX as a brand embodies every woman, every boy, anything - everything in between. That's what's made them so successful, lending to their creativity and self-expression. I'm a trans girl, coming from Virginia, and I found myself resonating with the brand and what they stand for. They cater to everyone," said Dragun, who came out on her channel as transgender in 2015.
This mission of inclusivity has helped take NYX to the top. "We've always been a social media brand. We know that our audience is everybody," said Kristo. "We are one of the brands that is one of the most well developed with every ethnic group. We've taken care of the products to have strong pigment load, to have all of the colors available in the different shades and undertones so people know that the product will work for them. And we've always represented diversity well on all of our platforms and social media."
11 Sneakers That Will Turn You Into a Complete Sneakerhead in 2017
Sneakers have become a tried-and-true fashion staple over the years, especially around Fashion Week. Every season, we see one It-girl after another pose for pictures in a street style forward outfit, and they often include a pair of cool sneakers.
The sneaker trends of 2016 brought us a plethora of Yeezy Boosts and Adidas Stan Smiths (spoiler alert: the latter has made the list yet again). This year you can expect to see a revamp of streetwear brands like Fila and Reebok as well as some newer, lesser-known brands that have garnered a major following too. Have a look at 11 of 2017's best sneakers that are guaranteed to turn you into a major sneakerhead (if you're not already).
Strappy Sports Bras So Cute You'll Want to Show Them Off
There comes a time in every athlete's week where they've had enough of those HIIT classes that require high-intensity sports bras and are ready to wind down with the relaxing, restorative, and sometimes even meditative-type programs that are the yin to the yang. And those sessions, of course, usually don't require such heavy-duty gear. If you're in search of low-impact strappy sports bra, we found the cutest ones to wear this Summer.
Gal Gadot and Chris Hemsworth Both Agree That Wonder Woman Could Kick Thor's Ass
Wonder Woman has been the reigning badass at the box office since exploding into theaters on Friday, setting a record with its $100.5 million domestic opening (not to mention majorly inspiring women everywhere). Everyone from Lupita Nyong'o to Jessica Chastain has been giving the film, as well as director Patty Jenkins and star Gal Gadot, rave reviews, including none other than Thor himself (aka Chris Hemsworth).
While sitting down with Katie Couric for an interview with Yahoo News, Gadot was happy to discuss how the movie has become a symbol of female empowerment and said who she thinks would win in a fight between Thor and Diana Prince (Diana, duh). To ensure everything was fair, she asked Hemsworth what he thought via Couric's Twitter account, and it didn't take long for the Australian actor to reply.
Hey @chrishemsworth -- @GalGadot has something to ask you... #wonderwoman https://t.co/XWrDANhsaT http://pic.twitter.com/wDZDZpIemt
- Katie Couric (@katiecouric) June 2, 2017
I think she'd kick Thor's a**
- Chris Hemsworth (@chrishemsworth) June 3, 2017
Although Thor is part of the Marvel universe and Wonder Woman falls under the DC umbrella, both characters are demigods (Thor is a god from Norse mythology, while Diana is the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta) and would therefore be pretty evenly matched. Then again, anyone who saw Wonder Woman knows that Diana can take a punch (as well as give a ton of her own), so Thor and Mjölnir should count themselves lucky that they're safe and sound in the MCU.

Prince Harry Has a Moment of Silence For London Bridge Attack Victims at Polo Match
After meeting with Barack Obama and the team that will represent the UK at the Invictus Games, Prince Harry touched down in Singapore on Sunday to kick off his two-day tour of the country. Upon his arrival, Harry stopped by the Jamiyah Education Centre, where he watched a martial arts match and looked on in awe as the competitors took to the mat. He then took part in iftar (the breaking of the fast during Ramadan) by eating porridge and a dish of dates.
Harry also paid tribute to the victims of Saturday's London Bridge attack that left 7 people dead and 30 injured. "Let peace and harmony prevail in communities all over the world," he said as the call to prayer was made by Islamic scholar Muhammad Rafiuddin Ismail. On Monday, he continued to pay tribute to the victims as he observed a moment of silence ahead of a charity polo match for his organization, Sentebale. This is Harry's first time in Singapore, and he is expected to attend an Action for Aids reception as well as visit the Jamiyah Children's Home.
Mom's Plea About the Overlooked Pool Danger That Almost Killed Her Girl
When it comes to pool safety, teaching your child how to swim isn't enough. Even if your child knows to walk on the pool deck and only swim when a lifeguard or adult is watching, there's another serious danger that's often overlooked. But after Alex Morgan's daughter almost died while on a family vacation, this furious mom is warning parents of another danger to look out for before their kiddos hit the pools this Summer.
When 6-year-old Darcey was enjoying a dip in the pool, she swam by a waterfall water feature. While the child's head was underwater, her hair got caught in the pool's filter and she got stuck. Unable to reach the surface, Darcey nearly drowned. "She was kept under the water for over two minutes," Alex shared on Facebook. "Some incredibly brave people saved our little girl's life that day. Her hair was pulled and pulled before it was ripped. Darcey was unconscious and had to be given CPR at the poolside."
Darcey was taken to the hospital, where she was kept overnight for low oxygen levels and fluid in her right lung. "This was the worst day of our lives. We are still suffering to come to terms with it all now but also feel incredibly lucky to still have our beautiful, brave little girl," Alex wrote. "Myself and Gareth don't want any other parents or family members to go through what we experienced that day. We will never get over what happened but if this post can raise some awareness, save someone's life, then we will be happy."
According to Elizabeth Klinefelter, Pool Safely campaign lead, parents should be aware of drain entrapment dangers at both public and private pools. "The federal government's drowning prevention program strongly recommends that children be taught to stay away from drains, suction outlets, and filters in swimming pools and spas," Elizabeth told POPSUGAR. "Children's hair - along with limbs, jewelry, or bathing suits - can get stuck in a drain or suction opening. In addition, parents and caregivers should never allow children to enter a pool or spa that has a loose, broken, or missing drain cover."
She also recommends that parents always locate the emergency vacuum shutoff before getting in a spa so that they know where and how to free someone if stuck.
The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act was mandated in 2008 after a 7-year-old drowned due to a drain cover, and this federal law requires that all public pools, including hotels, schools, and apartment buildings, have the safer drain covers. According to a new Consumer Product Safety Commission report, there have still been 17 victims of entrapment from 2012-2016 and the majority of these cases involved kids.
"Children under the age of 15 are at risk of experiencing an entrapment incident, with higher fatality rates occurring in residential pools and spa settings," Elizabeth said. "Parents can never be too vigilant when their children are in or around the water to ensure everyone has a safer swimming experience."
Elizabeth also pointed out that residential pools are encouraged to install them but are not currently required to. This eye-opening video explains not only why pool drains can be so dangerous for kids but also that many pools across the country still have the flat drain covers and not the antientrapment version.
Every parent should take a minute to watch this video before their child's next trip to the pool:
Ashley Graham Opens Up About Being Sexually Harassed When She Was 17
Ashley Graham got incredibly candid with Glamour magazine for her July cover story. Aside from spreading body positivity, the supermodel and America's Next Top Model judge also opened up for the first time about being sexually harassed on set when she was 17. "There was a photo assistant who was into me," she explained. "He was like, 'Hey, come here,' and he led me into a closet. And I was like, 'What?' I thought he was going to show me something. And he pulled me in, and he pulled his penis out. And he was like, 'Grab it.' And I was like, 'No! That's disgusting.' I freaked out. And thank God I was closer to the door, and I just bolted out."
Following the incident, Ashley vowed to never let anyone manipulate what she would do on set, adding that any images she produces are ones she wanted to take. While she isn't against doing nude photoshoots, she also has her limits. "It's a gut intuition. I ask myself, 'Is this right for me, my brand, my career, and my relationship?'" she said referring to her husband, Justin Ervin. Aside from being open and honest with each other, Ashley admitted they have a few rituals for making their relationship work. "We don't go to bed mad at each other," she said. "We play the Nice Game - after a fight, when we're done arguing but there's still a weird energy, whoever says, 'Let's play the Nice Game,' the other person has to say something nice about them. Then [we go back and forth and] we remember why we love each other. And we have a lot of sex."

This Drag Artist's Look Is So Unique, It Makes Us Redefine Gender Entirely
"I have problems with gender dysphoria and this has pushed me to distorting my appearance because it's more comfortable for me to confuse people about my gender than have people see me as male," a drag artist known as Salvia told I-D. The male-born, English makeup artist is already gaining buzz on Instagram for rocking out-there, gender-neutral looks. Think: white clown face, eyes that look like hollow sockets, and exaggerated, distorted lips. It's many of the same makeup tricks we use during Halloween, except this is not a costume - it's a form of self-expression.
Not feeling like she fit into any category, the Salvia persona grew. "I named myself Salvia after the magical plant," she said in the interview. "I'm obsessed with flowers, and a common theme in my artwork is giving birth to yourself, and I think that flowers represent that. Mazatec shamans see it as an incarnation of the Virgin Mary and I find that very mystical and romantic. I am Salvia, she isn't completely a made up character."
While Salvia's looks may be more abstract than botanical, she definitely has skills when it comes to using makeup brushes. Keep reading to see more of her many gender-neutral faces.
7 Powerful Tributes Inspired by the Recent London Attacks
On June 3, citizens in London were devastated by yet another terrorist attack, this time on the London Bridge and at nearby Borough Market, which left 7 people dead and nearly 50 people injured. It was the third attack in the UK in the past three months, and Britain's prime minister is calling on the United Kingdom to come together to put an end to extremism and terrorism. "Enough is enough," Theresa May said in a speech the following day. "We must come together, we must pull together, and united we will take on and defeat our enemies." The tragedy has since inspired powerful artwork around the world that echos the prime minster's statements. See them all ahead.
