WELLNESS: PAP SMEAR ALTERNATIVE
A new method for cervical cancer screening is set to become available this fall, offering women the option to self-collect samples using a simple vaginal swab. This method is a life saver for those women who experience discomfort with the traditional Pap smear. The self-collection method, already successful in several countries, is as effective as Pap tests for women 25 and older. It's expected to improve screening rates among the 30% of eligible women in the U.S. who currently don't get regular screenings, potentially reducing preventable cervical cancer deaths.

BEAUTY: 2024 PERFUMES ARE EXTRA JUICY
2024 fragrances have shifted from vanilla-dominated scents to juicy fruit notes. Additions like cherries, grapes, and tangerines are being reimagined in sophisticated combinations with floral, musk, amber, and earthy notes. For years, childish or unsophisticated were the words used to describe fruity scents but they’ve made quite the comeback. The new fruity perfumes are described as both playful, polished, and refreshing, appealing to people that are seeking a more refined scent profile.

LIFESTYLE: EXTREMELY ONLINE MEN GIVE YOU THE ICK?
Apparently, men who don't use Instagram or have minimal online presence are often perceived as more attractive due to qualities like confidence, authenticity, and privacy. There are also psychological aspects of this attraction, including the allure of mystery and the perception of maturity. There is a double standard where men's heavy online presence is often judged more harshly than women's. Ultimately, it also comes down to trust issues and the potential for online behavior to complicate relationships.

INTRUSION: A husband & wife move into a new house & experience a home invasion that leaves them shook. More importantly, the wife is traumatized… & suspicious. Soon after, she realizes that everything is not as it seems and the danger is just beginning, within her own home.
