Eat, Pray, Love

We start today's newsletter by honoring those who lost their lives too soon because of a senseless act of gun-violence at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. We pray for Stephen Romero (6), Keyla Salazar (13), Trevor Irby (25) and their families; but thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need stricter gun laws and here's what you can do to support gun control.

Pop(corn) Culture

Kith x Coke

The popular streetwear brand that also sells ice cream, dropped an exclusive line of Coca-Cola apparel.

I got the juice

Cosmopolitan serves up a new and delicious perfume. Eau de Juice, inspired by the juice boxes you drank in school lunch, is now available exclusively at Ulta.

If only we were back in middle school and could spray this perfume on our Juicy track-suit. One can dream.

Nothing is Impossible

Impossible Foods finally got the green light from the FDA to start selling their patties in grocery stores. One of the ingredients found in the Impossible Burger that helps mimic the taste, texture, and blood in real meat is soy leghemoglobin, which was not yet approved by the FDA .

You're clucking kidding me, right??

Popeyes will release their first ever fried chicken sandwich nationwide tomorrow and it's here to stay.

The buttermilk-battered chicken fillet topped with pickles and spicy Cajun sauce on a brioche bun will sell for $3.99. Tbt to the time my friend told me it was pronounced, "Pope Yes," and I believed her until last year...
