Before You Buy Tickets
Holiday season is busy season for ticket scammers. Fake sellers and look-alike event pages pop up on Facebook and Marketplace, especially for popular shows and holiday events. Buy straight from the theater or event's own website, and be wary of anyone who asks you to pay by Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, or gift card. If a deal seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Your Fall Glow-Up: Two Drinks for Hydrated, Plump-Looking Skin
Cooler weather can leave skin looking dull and feeling dry. Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo brings a beauty upgrade to your fall routine: two delicious daily drinks that support hydrated, plump, luminous-looking skin from within.
Start with creamy, organic Sun Goddess Matcha, packed with antioxidants that support healthy-looking skin. Then sip B·T Fountain, a refreshing beauty electrolyte combining clinically studied ceramides, hyaluronic acid and electrolytes to support hydration and a dewy glow.
The beauty benefits come with impressive clinical evidence. In a clinical trial of B·T Fountain’s ceramides, skin hydration improved 25% by day 15. By day 60, hydration improved 37%, elasticity improved 36% and wrinkle depth decreased 8.2%.
