Marvel's Black Panther has been declared by many as a record-breaking monstrous hit. Recently passing Titantic on the list of highest grossing films of all time, Black Panther has passed the billion dollar mark in global ticket sales and sank the Titanic’s domestic record of $659 million. As a matter of fact, it reached $1 billion within four weeks when on average billion dollar films take about seven weeks, according to Quartz Media. This is a notable accomplishment for the cast of Black Panther, as it shows that diverse leads and casting can and will turn out box office hits.

No More Polyvore. The Alternatives!

Fashion and #ootd enthusiasts are truly saddened by the loss of Polyvore, after it was acquired by SSense, a Canadian-based online retailer. Pinterest and Instagram are filled with outfit inspirations that Polyvore loyalists created. Style bloggers and stylists also loved using this once popular e-commerce store and community to draw traffic to their websites and social media pages. 

Many fans of the site are devastated. They're not sure where else to go to continue creating looks they can share with like-minded fashionistas and support their blog and social media content. Have no fear. Why report a problem and not present you with at least a few solutions?

Yvon Lux

In the past 3 years or so, subscription boxes have taken over the world. Subscription boxes started out as a major hit for beauty and makeup products. Now they offer food, clothes, grooming tools, and other refillable products such as contacts, shaving kits, and feminine care items.

The rise of beauty subscription boxes has allowed beauty addicts to step up their beauty game. These subscriptions range from $7.00-50.00 dollars, and there are different boxes for different preferences, whether you need all-natural products, acne products, vegan products. Choose your preferred routine and get them delivered straight to your doorstep.

Here's the breakdown of some of the most well-known and popular beauty boxes!

LA Fashion Week Crushed Diversity

LA Fashion Week Crushed Diversity

One of the best things I get to do as a fashion and beauty addict is covering creative and social events that reflect the heart of a city. LA Fashion Week did exactly that by not only embracing diversity, but epitomizes it. 

Watching on the sidelines, I enjoyed seeing models from different ethnic backgrounds and of various sizes along with senior and transgender models. As a matter of fact, more than half of the models who walked were of diverse backgrounds. This is higher than NY Fashion Week's thirty percent last year, granted NY Fashion Week is a much larger event.

Valentine’s Day is a rosy, chocolaty, and romantic holiday that is meant to be spent with the one you love. It also happens to be the one day of the year where many men feel forced to be romantic and many women feel pressured to have dates. 

This type of "calendared" romance is superficial and unnatural. So ladies, men actually dread Valentine’s Day.

Most Cringe-worthy Ads: What Were They Thinking?

Yvon Lux

As an owner of a marketing and PR firm, I have always been amazed at the PR nightmares large brands get themselves into with expensive ad campaigns that seemed so clueless, ill-timed, and often with a complete lack of common sense. The backlash of H&M's recent "duh" ad featuring a black child model wearing a hoodie with a monkey and saying "coolest monkey in the jungle" inspired me to gather some of the most controversial and unbecoming ads in recent years.
