All of us want to be comfortable in the skin we're in - especially during scorching summer months when we could breathe easier and avoid melting underneath the weight of our makeup routine.

On days when I'm running errands, it's quick and simple to throw on a lip balm for a effortless "I didn't try look." When I want to take it a step further, I reach in my bag for a standout pink or a true red. A good nude is also a great option that translates well, from an office setting to a night out. Pick your choice, just don't forget about your lips.

10 Things You Probably Don't Know About Hickeys (But Should)

Listen, based on what I know (because I have learned to not talk about celebrities like I know them, unless I actually do), I have a lot of respect for the filmmaking phenomenon Ryan Coogler. In fact, a close friend of mine and I were recently talking about how much we enjoyed an NPR interview that he did late last month (“Ryan Coogler Paid A Steep Price For The Films He Made”).

And although I’ve heard the his movie Sinners is “that one” right now (did you know that it has crossed the $300 million mark at the time of this being published?), because I am a bit squeamish when it comes to violence and gore, I am still on the fence about personally checking it out; especially after Michael B.
