Backyards, BBQs, and a Bit of Self-Care: A Real 4th of July Celebration
This Independence Day, while we honor those who've fought for our freedoms, we also make space to live them. And part of that? Slowing down. Taking care of ourselves. Making room for the good stuff—sun, laughter, real connection… and maybe even a long, uninterrupted shower.
As we gather for fireworks, food, and family, it's also a chance to check in with yourself. A moment for rest. For joy. And if you're refreshing your summer routine, Beauty By Earth's Buy 2, Get 1 Free offer (code: B2G1) is an easy way to stock up on clean, feel-good essentials—while you're already in celebration mode.

And when it's time to rinse off the day? Body Wash in Vanilla Coconut or Peppermint Tea Tree turns a simple shower into something to look forward to—hydrating, refreshing, and never harsh on your skin.
Sure, we'll remember the fireworks lighting up the sky, the sizzle of burgers on the grill, and the poolside playlists that hit just right. But maybe this year, we'll also remember the quiet pause—the breath between the celebration. The moment we looked around, felt the sun on our skin, snapped a few selfies with family and friends, and thought: this is freedom.
Here's to good vibes, fresh skin, and the freedom to feel confident in your own glow.
Whether you're road-tripping, grilling, or just soaking up some well-earned downtime, may this Fourth of July leave you feeling connected, cared for, and camera-ready in all the right ways.

Olivia Morris wants 'Librarians' viewers to get lost in the silliness
1 of 2 | Olivia Morris and Callum McGowan star in "The Librarians: The Next Chapter," which wraps up its first season on Monday. Photo courtesy of TNT NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Olivia Morris says she wanted to star in The Librarians: The Next Chapter because, after working on Hotel Portofino and The Head, she was ready for a little magic. "I absolutely adore all of my body of work. I love it. But, this is the first show that is complete escapism. There is nothing in it that is polarizing or upsetting," Morris, 28, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "That absolutely has its place on TV and film. I really think some of my favorite shows are very polarizing and important," she added. "We live in a time where it's really complicated right now and to be able to have anyone turn on the telly and watch a show about librarians saving the world and using a magic door -- if it brings them even a minute of relaxation and enjoyment and you can just get lost in the silliness -- I think that is so valuable." With only one more episode of this season of #TheLibrarians: The Next Chapter, we thought you might want to know who will be joining us for Season 2! TNT Drama (@tntdrama) July 30, 2025 Created by Dean Devlin, the show wraps up its first season Monday on TNT and has already been renewed for a second season. Morris plays Lysa, a scientist who inherits a castle in Belgrade that serves as annex to a library where supernatural artifacts from throughout history are stored. She teams up with Vikram (Callum McGowan), a 19th-century librarian, who is bewildered to find himself transported to 2025, Connor (Bluey Robinson), a conspiracy-theory podcaster, and Charlie (Jessica Green), a highly skilled fighting machine, to protect the world from powerful magic that has been mistakenly unleashed. In addition to being a fun watch, the family-friendly show also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and knowledge. "These fans are clever. They are honorary librarians and I think you can see that in the scripts that the writers, everybody involved, are so passionate," Morris said. "Some of the stuff my character has to say is bonkers," she added. "It is a real challenge to be able to say it as if she has said it a million times. I must look like a crazy person in my flat when I'm rehearsing my lines because I am determined to make it seem effortless and I hope it comes across as such." The actress said she wants viewers, especially young ones, to see a team who uses their brains and hearts, instead of physical might, to vanquish evil. "These characters are superheroes -- ones that are incredibly smart and incredibly empathetic," she said. Morris said Devlin -- whose credits include Independence Day and The Ark -- is a wonderful collaborator and always has time to discuss characters and story-lines. "He is so ready to meet [questions] with just as much curiosity and, as an actor, that is all you can ask for," she added. "Sometimes, you want to suggest something or you want to ask why we do a certain thing, especially because the world is so big. There have been three films and a whole series before us," she explained. "Dean Is the one that knows that better than anyone. So, to have him around on set and be able to pick his brain about making the show the best it can be is really, really amazing." The franchise started in 2004 with a trilogy of TV movies starring Noah Wyle. Wylie served as an executive producer on both The Next Chapter and The Librarians, a TV series that followed the movies and ran for four seasons from 2014 through 2017.

Mark Zuckerberg surfs in bald eagle costume for viral Fourth of July stunt: ‘Sam Altman would never'
Mark Zuckerberg may be a billionaire tech mogul, but his Fourth of July antics prove he's still just a kid at heart. The CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, spent the holiday in a full-body inflatable bald eagle costume and shared a now-viral video of himself wakesurfing in the getup with his millions of followers over the weekend. The clip, posted to Instagram and Facebook on Friday, July 4, opens with Zuckerberg sitting down on a moving boat, holding an American flag and nodding his head, not yet covered by the costume. 'Is this the stupidest thing we've done so far?' an off-camera voice asks, before Zuckerberg hops onto the board fully suited up in his patriotic outfit. The video then cuts to him surfing, with his arms outstretched to show off the red, white and blue fringed wings of his costume as the song 'America, F— Yeah,' from the 2004 comedy 'Team America: World Police,' plays. His video has received 961,000 likes since it was posted, and has garnered a number of impressed comments from Zuckerberg's followers. 'Didn't think he'd be able to one-up last year's post but he did,' wrote content creator Kagan Dunlap, referencing Zuckerberg's similar Independence Day stunt from last year, during which he surfed in a suit and bowtie while holding a beer in one hand and an American flag in the other. That comment also received a like from Zuckerberg, along with more than 6,500 others. While Zuckerberg didn't tag the location of his post, many fans speculate the clip was filmed in Lake Tahoe, where Zuckerberg is building a seven-building compound. On Saturday, July 5, the Facebook founder shared another holiday-themed video, this time accompanied by his friends as they pretend to be Marvel's Avengers. The clip was recorded backwards to make it appear as though each individual is jumping out of the water, and is set to audio from the superhero film series in which Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, delivers the iconic line: 'Avengers, assemble.' Zuckerberg wore a long sleeve shirt that resembled Captain America's suit, while one friend was dressed as Uncle Sam and another wore the same bald eagle costume from his previous post. Zuckerberg has developed a reputation for his elaborate stunts over the years, though many have been romantic gestures for his wife, Priscilla Chan. In February, he borrowed singer Benson Boone's skintight Grammy jumpsuit to serenade Chan on her birthday, and in 2024 he went viral for commissioning a seven-foot-tall teal blue sculpture in her likeness.

What Does Everyone Think of This New Release from Gucci?
Gucci's latest handbag release has taken the fashion world by storm—again. Known for their bold designs and rich Italian heritage, Gucci continues to redefine luxury fashion. But as stunning as this new drop is, many are asking: Is it worth the price? Or should smart shoppers look at alternatives like a high-end Gucci replica? Let's break it down. The Gucci Release Everyone's Talking About This season's newest Gucci handbag brings together modern structure with vintage charm. With GG monogram prints, thick gold hardware, and vivid leather finishes, it's clear the design is meant to make a statement. Fashion influencers and celebrities are already flaunting it across New York, LA, and Miami. But for most buyers, the real concern isn't style—it's price. With some models reaching over $3,000, it's no surprise that even loyal Gucci lovers are exploring more affordable options. Why Gucci Replica Bags Are Gaining Attention In 2025, the market for Gucci replica bags has evolved dramatically. High-quality replicas no longer mean cheap materials or obvious fakes. Instead, modern fake Gucci bags are crafted with meticulous attention to detail—from stitching and hardware to logos and dust bags. Shoppers who can't justify luxury prices are turning to these alternatives for one big reason: You get the Gucci look without the Gucci cost. Here's why Gucci replica bags are getting positive reviews: ✅ Made with premium faux leather or real calfskin ✅ Nearly identical in design and branding ✅ Perfect for fashion shoots, events, or everyday luxury ✅ Ships faster and costs up to 80% less than the original Consumer Opinions: Original vs. Gucci Replica The Gucci release may be beautiful, but it's not for everyone. Many women across the USA, especially younger Gen Z and Millennial buyers, are choosing fake Gucci bags for style experiments, travel, or even gifting. 'Honestly, my Gucci replica looks exactly like my friend's real one—except I didn't pay $3,200.' – Jenna, 27, Miami 'I bought a fake Gucci bag just to test how it fits into my wardrobe. The quality shocked me. I'm buying another soon.' – Tara, 34, Chicago While purists argue for authenticity, others are embracing fashion flexibility. ⚖️ Is It Worth Buying the Real Gucci? If you're a collector or brand loyalist, owning an authentic Gucci is about more than style—it's an emotional investment. But if you're looking to express your fashion sense without overspending, a well-made Gucci replica offers unbeatable value. You can wear the trend, feel the luxury, and still keep your savings intact. �� Final Verdict: A Matter of Smart Style The new Gucci release is bold, sophisticated, and runway-worthy. But for everyday shoppers, the rising demand for Gucci replica options shows a shift in fashion priorities. People want smart style—not just brand labels. Whether you choose the original or a fake Gucci bag, what matters most is how you wear it. And in 2025, confidence beats the price tag every time. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
