(@tosinfinityandbeyond)Alphabet Dating is a delightful dating trend that involves planning a series of dates, each one inspired by a letter of the alphabet. Starting with “A” and working your way through to “Z,” you and your partner take turns planning creative outings and activities that correspond to each letter. From adventurous outdoor excursions to cozy indoor movie nights, the possibilities are endless. The goal is to explore new experiences, discover shared interests, and make lifelong memories as you journey through the alphabet together.
One of the most thrilling aspects of Alphabet Dating is the element of surprise. Each date is carefully planned, but neither you nor your partner will know what’s in store until the day arrives. This sense of anticipation adds an extra layer of excitement to the whole experience. You might find yourselves hiking through a scenic trail for “H,” or visiting a local museum for “M.” The joy of discovering what’s next on the agenda creates a sense of spontaneity and keeps the relationship fresh and vibrant.

]]>Beige Flags: The Unspoken Warning
When it comes to relationships, red flags are well-known signs that something might not be quite right. But what about those subtle indicators that fall somewhere between red and white? Enter the beige flags—a clever twist on the dating landscape. Beige flags represent those little quirks or behaviors that, while not deal-breakers, might make you raise an eyebrow or unleash a fit of laughter. From being overly obsessed with their pet’s Instagram to organizing their sock drawer alphabetically, beige flags are all about finding the humorous side of everyday relationship idiosyncrasies.
Laughter as the Best Medicine
The beauty of the beige flags trend lies in its ability to foster laughter and remind us that imperfections are what make relationships unique and fun. It’s a gentle reminder to not take ourselves too seriously and to find joy in the quirky habits and eccentricities that make our partners who they are. By embracing the beige flags, we learn to appreciate the little things that, at times, might seem odd but ultimately contribute to the rich tapestry of a loving relationship.
Communication and Understanding
While beige flags bring humor and lightness, it’s important not to overlook the significance of open communication and understanding in a relationship. Identifying beige flags can also catalyze healthy conversations. By sharing these humorous observations, we create an atmosphere where both partners feel comfortable discussing their quirks and preferences. Through open dialogue, we strengthen the foundation of our relationships and foster a deeper connection.
As we indulge in TikTok trends and viral challenges, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy balance between the virtual world and reality. While TikTok offers us a glimpse into the lives of others, it’s essential to remember that relationships extend far beyond the confines of a 60-second video. Beige flags may provide amusement, but they should never replace genuine communication and understanding offline.

]]>The post “The Little Mermaid” Remake is Here and Mermaidcore is Taking Over TikTok appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>One of the best examples of mermaidcore that we’ve seen came from the actress who plays the Little Mermaid herself, 23-year-old Halle Bailey. Bailey has been making a splash with a variety of sea-worthy looks by top fashion designers on a recent press tour, including this gown by Albanian designer Valdrin Sahiti. The dress recalls one of film’s most iconic scenes, when Ariel re-emerges from the sea as a human to be with her beloved Prince Eric.
While we may not all have access to custom designer gowns, there are plenty of little ways that we can incorporate mermaidcore into our own style. Accessorizing with shell-shaped jewelry is one option we love, especially when paired with a shimmery manicure like this.
For a costume party or just for fun, you can also play around with creating mermaid-style makeup. Use oceanic colors like greens and blues, and try adding a few faux-pearls for an undersea touch.

]]>Cloud Bread
If you decided to forgo carbs this year, you may have jumped onto the cloud bread trend. Made using eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and a touch of food coloring to make it pretty, the result is a bit like a Jigglypuff that tastes like cotton candy.

Salmon Rice Bowl
The salmon rice bowl works for a number of reasons. It is a great way to use up leftovers, the dish is a balanced meal with protein, carbs, and healthy fat, and it tastes like sushi without all the work. So grab your cooked salmon, rice, avocado, soy sauce, sriracha, kewpie mayonnaise, roasted seaweed sheets, and enjoy.

Butter Boards
Bread and butter are one of life’s simple food pleasures, so why wouldn’t we champion an entire board of butter that we can scoop up with crusty bread?! The beauty of the butter board is that you can let your tastebuds run wild by adding everything from chili to honey, to fruit and herbs.

]]>Rare Beauty- Liquid Blush
Selena Gomez is one of many celebrities that has hopped on creating her own make-up brand. This long-lasting, lightweight blush blends seamlessly into your skin, giving you the perfect sun-kissed look. With over ten different shades of blush, there is a shade for every skin color and tone.
Charlotte Tilbury- Flawless Filter Foundation
According to TikTok, this has been one of the most searched-for products on TikTok. Many say this is one of the best foundations that has helped enhance their natural glow. The consistency of the product is a mix of liquid highlighter and a real-life filter that helps blur and reduce the appearance of pores, breakouts, dried skin, and more.
Dyson- Airwrap
While this is not technically a make-up product, it is one of the most in-demand hair tools of 2022. It has dominated the hair-care game for a few years, and this year has been no different. This no-heat hair tool proves time and again how effective it is in creating various hairstyles.

]]>Quality Counts
Seeing as butter is the main ingredient, invest in something good. Regular—AKA cheap—will work just fine, but to truly make the most of your butter board, go for Irish or French butter like Kerrygold or Lurpak.
Flavor It Your Way
The brilliance of a butter board is that it is totally customizable. In the mood for fall flavors? Throw on some pumpkin seeds, honey, a bit of cinnamon, and flaky sea salt. Classic combos include roasted garlic, fresh rosemary, and some lemon zest, and chili; as well as crispy bacon, maple syrup, cracked black pepper. Go wild!
Crusty Accompaniment
We wouldn’t blame you for wanting to eat that delicious topped butter as is, but the only thing better than butter is butter and bread. Warm, crusty French bread is the ideal vehicle to place your butter on, but crackers or Melba toast works nicely too.

]]>Spa Water
This drink is made with water, cucumber, and sugar, and it sounds pretty refreshing at first, so what exactly is the problem? It became quite controversial because it was hit with accusations of cultural appropriation because it’s made with all the same ingredients as the traditional Latin American drink agua fresca.

Spicy Rosé
If you have a special place in your heart for all things spicy, you probably wouldn’t mind your rosé packing a punch. TikTok user Allyssa Marshall feels the same way and she went viral after putting jalapeños in her rosé and calling this drink spicy rosé.
@allyssainthekitchen Have you ever tried a jalapeño slice in your rosé?

Profee
TikTok offers many tips and tricks for healthy living that have been disputed by experts, and profee is the latest leaving people puzzled. This drink is all about putting protein powder in your coffee, but keep in mind that it can lead to excess protein intake.

]]>The post Calamine Lotion is All Over TikTok, But Not for the Reason You Think appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>Users with oily skin are proclaiming the virtues of calamine lotion in their make-up routine. In case you are unfamiliar with the ointment, calamine is a pastel pink cream used to treat itchiness. Its most common use is for soothing chicken pox.
This new hack, however, involves applying calamine to one’s face, using either a beauty blender or make-up brush, prior to putting on foundation. Once the lotion is dry, makeup is applied directly over it.
The idea behind this technique is for the thick cream to repair acne scars and mattify the skin. It apparently also works as a fantastic primer, keeping make-up in place for at least 12 hours—even in the boiling summer heat.
As fabulous as the trick sounds, experts have warned that users should beware. Calamine has the potential to damage the skin barrier if used in that fashion, and can actually worsen scars by irritating the skin. The drying out effect can also cause wrinkles and fine lines in the long run.
