Been a rough week. Hopefully this link round-up will lift your spirits.
– Allure has a fascinating report on Muslim beauty, while the Smithsonian shares the history of black beauty salons' role in the civil rights movement.

– One my favorite blogs turns 10!
– Must visit this store on my next trip to NYC.
– Love bath products of all kinds, especially food-scented ones, but this just grosses me out.
The random:
– "The fact that we lost doesn’t make us wrong; the fact that they don’t believe in us doesn’t make us disappear." I enjoyed this piece by Lindy West, but if you need more bandages for your election wounds check out this letter by Leslie Knope and these photos to make you laugh.
– On the local front, can't say I'm surprised Baltimore currently ranks as the U.S.'s least attractive city. I mean, I live here, right?
– Is this really necessary? Couldn't you just spread Nutella on a hamburger bun?
– I must be the outlier in this new research, as I tend to assign human qualities to many objects but I don't consider myself lonely.
– In '90s nostalgia, HuffPo remembers the frenzy whipped up by Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, while Vice discusses the Spice Girls and the rise of "girl power".
