BUSINESS: TESLA PROMISES MORE AFFORDABLE CARS
Tesla announced plans to introduce new, more affordable models by early 2025, known as the all-new Model 2, for $25,000. The news of this offering boosted Tesla's stock despite disappointing results in the first quarter of this year. While providing few specifics, Tesla said the new models would leverage work done on the next-gen platform originally intended for the Model 2, avoiding major new manufacturing investments for now.

BEAUTY: “L-SHAPED” BLUSH HACK TO INSTANTLY LIFT YOUR FACE
If you haven’t seen it yet on TiKTok, this is the hack that everyone is loving, including makeup artists. Basically you create an “L” with your index finger and thumb, place it on the side of your face and fill in the area with your desired blush shade. Be sure to apply the product in an upwards motion for a lifted effect.

WORK LIFE: NON COMPETE BAN COULD RAISE PAY
The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) voted 3-2 to ban non-compete clauses. These agreements pretty much restrict workers' from changing companies and working for competitors and a ban on it will cause a huge pivot that could improve working conditions and pay in industries like Hollywood. The FTC estimates it could raise average worker pay by $500+ a year by allowing them to field competing job offers.

(IN CASE YOU MISSED IT)

ON CLARITY: Clarity is power. The more clear you are about exactly what it is you want, the more your brain knows how to get there. — TONY ROBBINS

When you have clarity about what you want, it becomes a powerful force that can propel you towards your objectives. Vague desires lack the clarity required to pursue them effectively. When you vividly define what you want, your subconscious mind can start working on ways to manifest that reality for you.
