BEAUTY: MAKEUP & SKIN CARE PRODUCTS TO SWAP
Just as you wouldn't wear heavy winter clothing during the summer months, beauty experts recommend swapping out certain makeup and skincare products when the weather gets warmer. Products that are frequently used during cooler seasons, like heavy moisturizers and full-coverage foundations, should be replaced with lighter, breathable options that allow the skin to stay fresh amidst the heat and humidity. Waterproof mascara prevents smudging, tinted sunscreens provide coverage while protecting from UV rays, and cream blushes impart a natural, dewy glow.

LIFESTYLE: NETFLIX IS TEEING UP MUSIC COMPETITION SHOWS
Netflix is developing new music competition shows similar to The Voice as a way of expanding its appeal to the ~270M subscribers it has. One of the upcoming shows has songwriters competing to write music for artists. A goal for taking this step towards family-friendly shows is to attract advertisers to Netflix's ad-supported tier (think advertisers at the Super Bowl).

BUSINESS: NVIDIA PASSES APPLE AS SECOND-MOST VALUABLE
Nvidia has skyrocketed to become the second most valuable public company, surpassing Apple with a market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion as of Wednesday's market close. This rise is thanks to the AI stock boom, with Nvidia's stock soaring over 147% this year. Nvidia is also acting as the primary driving force behind the S&P 500's gains. The success can be attributed to its exceptional profit margins, raking in a remarkable $14.9 billion net income on revenue of just $26 billion last quarter.

ON TIME: “Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” - PETER DRUCKER

If we fail to manage our time effectively, we will inevitably struggle to manage other aspects of our lives. Without a proper grasp on how we allocate and utilize our time, our efforts may be scattered and unproductive. Proper time management involves setting priorities, planning, and organizing our activities in a way that allows us to make the most of the limited hours available to us each day. It requires discipline, focus, and the ability to discern between urgent and important tasks, while avoiding procrastination and distractions. Remember, we all have 24 hours in a day.
