Why is everyone acting like DIY beauty and skin care is such a new thing? HELLO, it’s the same stuff our abuelas have been telling us to do for years. Need proof that abuelitas are the OG beauty DIYers, here you go:

Rose Water Toner

Coffee and Coconut Oil Scrub

Apple Cider Vinegar

Sugar and Lime Scrub

Baking Soda

You don't need to splurge to get the best in beauty treatments. One of my favorite exfoliators is something you can find in your home – baking soda! Baking soda is coarse, but not too coarse. It's the best amount of coarse for removing the top layer of dead skin cells, and if applied correctly, it won't cause your skin to become red and irritated. Twice a week at night I like to mix a teaspoon of baking soda with a few drops of lukewarm water and exfoliate my face and I leave it on for 30 – 60 seconds. Gently rinse your face with lukewarm water and notice how silky smooth your skin will be! Please note if you have sensitive skin this may not work for you. Always test any treatment on a patch of your skin.

In the two years that have passed since her debut as an actress in the 2018 Academy Award-winning film Roma, Yaltiza Aparicio has established herself as a Hollywood “get.” The Indigenous actress has appeared countless times on the cover of magazines, ones like Vogue México and Vanity Fair, and has been featured in ad campaigns for designers like Rodarte. So it’s no surprise that she has now been tapped to be part of Dior’s new campaign “Dior Stands with Women.”

As part of an effort to celebrate women across the film, beauty, and health industries Dior has launched its “Dior Stands with Women” campaign.

#DIORSTANDSWITHWOMEN #DIORCHINUP Inspired by the exceptional women who have marked its history, Christian Dior Parfums unveils a series of short filmed portraits that give a chance to speak to extraordinary women. With pride and passion, they all share, alongside Charlize Theron, J’adore ambassador and a committed artist, a unique journey and a stimulating impact on the world for other women. It is their drive to pass on knowledge that unite them today with Dior Perfumes to the initiative led by CTAOP (Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project) Youth Leaders Scholarship. It aims to support young South African students who are highly involved in their communities by covering their entire four-year university tuition. @diorparfums • @charlizeafrica @caradelevingne @palomija #marinacavazzana @pamelatulizo @yalitzaapariciomtz @golfarahani @parrisgoebel @carolebiancalana @libingbing @leynabloom

On Monday, the fashion brand announced it had launched a series of short films honoring women and their contributions to the industries and communities which they occupy. The campaign features actresses like Yaltiza Aparicio, model Paloma Elsesser, dancer Leyna Bloom, Cara Delevingne, Charlize Theron, Parris Goebel, and others.

In a statement about the campaign, Dior announced their intent in a post on Instagram. “Inspired by the exceptional women who have marked its history, Christian Dior Parfums unveils a series of short filmed portraits that give a chance to speak to extraordinary women,” it reads.

Speaking in the portrait series, Aparicio explains “For me, being a woman means being strong, always holding your head up because they tell you what they say, you must be sure of what you are capable of,” she went onto say that as “as an ambassador for UNESCO, my role is to represent indigenous communities with dignity. Give them a voice and visibility, which is something that we have lacked for a long time… Women have fought for many years for gender equality. It is not about being superior to men, it is about having the same opportunities, that in your work they give you a fair salary and not simply because you are a woman they pay you less or that they consider that you have fewer capacities simply because you are a woman.”

Speaking about their journeys, actresses Cara Delevinge and Charlize Theron touched on being unapologetic and part of male-dominated industries.

These $1,200 Gucci Jeans Are Designed With Grass Stains Around The Knees And Are Not Worth The Joke

These $1,200 Gucci Jeans Are Designed With Grass Stains Around The Knees And Are Not Worth The Joke

Gucci / Twitter

In these tough times, Gucci’s latest line proves that you might be able to get a fortune out of the jeans you use as workwear in the yard. The upscale label recently launched a new line of jeans and overalls featuring a grass stain effect on their knees. But these are not your father’s cutting the lawn jeans.

The oversized pants retail for a cool $1,400 and feature large pockets and side buttons…

Users on Twitter were quick to question whether or not the new jeans were a joke by Gucci or a reflection of just how tone-deaf the high-end label is.

“How did it take so long for this to become a thing? My entire wardrobe just became more valuable!” one user tweeted in response. A second user commented, “Yeah not a Good Look!!! Wouldn’t buy those Jeans at the Thrift Store for a Dollar!!!”

It wasn’t long ago that the designer brand received criticism for selling warn-in sneakers that were “treated for an all-over distressed effect.”

The kicks were valued at $870. The brand’s description of the shoe design boasted that it was inspired by “vintage” 70s styles.

“The Screener sneakers — named for the defensive sports move — feature the Web stripe on the side and vintage Gucci logo, treated for an allover distressed effect,” the website explained.

Takeaway? Money sure can’t buy good taste.
