I’m known among my friends for keeping my apartment cold all year, and I rarely turn the heat on. I’d rather bundle up in extra layers and undercozy blanketsto keep me warm as opposed to adjusting the thermostat. However, there are times when I prefer the comfort of a heating pad to sleep or snuggle with on the couch, but the size isn’t exactly large enough to wrap myself in, so I finally decided to get an electric throw blanket.

I met Au on a photo shoot forPeoplein 2019 and havefollowed her on Instagramever since. As you can imagine, she shares plenty of adorable dog pictures on social media, but she also includes celebrity portraits, home design inspo, and shots of her life in Brooklyn.

Photo:ClarinsOne of my biggest life lessons since turning 30 has been curating a properskincare routine. My face has definitely started to show signs of aging, including fine lines, dark circles, and hyperpigmentation. While I’d love to hit the hypothetic pause button on getting any older, in the meantime, with the right blend of skincare ingredients, I can target these concerns.As a shopping writer who regularly tests out tons of beauty products, I know when I’ve found a keeper in my collection.

It was a strange and slithering day on the job for a group of North Carolina police officers.
On Aug. 2, the Greensboro Police Departmentposted on Facebookthat officers had “received a call about a possible snake ‘preventing the driver from entering a vehicle.'”
“And yes, it was an eight to 10-foot python. Animal Control has since taken custody of it and cleared the scene,” the post added.
