Once you've snagged your tickets to this year's hottest music festival, it's time to plan. And even though we know the responsible thing to do is map out the flight, hotel, and logistical details first — you know, be an actual adult — the first thing to run across our minds is: What will we do with our hair and makeup?

As far as hair goes, the possibilities are endless. Flower crowns and glitter are both a given, but those aren't your only options. You can get creative with braids or wigs, and if you're thinking about playing with rainbow hair color, there's no better time than before hitting the fields of Coachella. There are also other things to consider when picking out your hairstyle, like longevity. Will it last through a day of dancing in the desert?

Ahead, we rounded up a few festival-approved styles to save to your mood board. Once you've picked your favorite, you can get on to planning important stuff — like where you'll sleep once the party is over...

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Vibrant Colors, Buzzcuts, & Freedom: This Is Non-Binary Hair In All Its Glory

This Is Summer 2019's Most Popular (& Most Versatile) Haircut

Hollywood's Effortless Hairstyle Trend Is Perfect For Every Spring Occasion

Update: A rep for Miu Miu tells Refinery29 the models wore wig caps backstage as they prepped for the spring 2019 show. "The videos were part of an artistic installation used as part of the set design for our Spring show presentation, they depicted the behind the scenes, backstage process of our models preparing for a show, which includes the application of hair and make-up," the statement says.

"Some of our models required the use of caps while dressing, which are commonly used in the hairdressing process. At no point were models in these caps on the runway or during the show. Again, thank you for bringing this to our attention, as we continually strive to be more aware of the incredible nuances that exist across cultures."

This story was originally published on April 3, 2019.

Miuccia Prada debuted Miu Miu's spring 2019 collection last October, and it featured "E-Miu-ticons" or pieces designed to “reinvigorate the dialogue between Miu Miu, Paris, and its inhabitants,” according to press materials from the brand. But the videos created as part of an installation for the set of our spring show for the collection features an item that some consider culturally insensitive.

In a video accompanying the handbags and jewelry, two models are shown, side by side, wearing what appear to be either wave or wig caps — an item typically worn by Black people to protect their hair and one that many have been shamed for wearing in public. It didn't take long before people began discussing it on social media. The thinking goes: Now that non-black models are wearing this cap in a high fashion campaign, is it suddenly considered socially acceptable?

“The thing that’s most annoying about this Miu Miu ad with sis wearing a wave/wig cap is: Prada just announced that Diversity & Inclusion advisor board. Shouldn’t they have ADVISED on the nuance of this?” one user tweeted. Another replied, “Oh thank God! it’s not just me, the whole time I was staring at it like...why?”

According to the brand's website, “these [e-miu-ticons] – an expression of a Miu attitude, perhaps – may be found printed and patched across everything from iconic bags to small accessories, from baseball caps to a capsule collection of clothing including signature cardigans, miniskirts, hoodies, track pants, and T-shirts. Juxtaposing irreverence and the finest craftsmanship, femininity and a determinedly free spirit, the offering encapsulates everything the Miu Miu name stands for.” It's unclear how the caps play into that symbolism.

In December, after sister brand Prada pulled its Blackface figurines from its shelves, they announced it would “improve diversity training and will immediately form an Advisory Council to guide our efforts on diversity, inclusion and culture.” Prada also said it would begin to “examine the processes that led to such a product reaching the market in the first place.”

The hard part for Miuccia, as she told WWD in January, is that “people want respect because now there is talk of cultural appropriation, but this is the foundation of fashion, as it has always been the basis of art, of everything.” She says she questioned if she could offend anyone with her latest collection. “I talked about it with the Fondazione [Prada], with the intellectuals, it really is a problem — one would have to set up ‘secret societies’ — otherwise there is no progressive thinking,” the designer continued. “If you are not free to say things that may also not be correct and you have to be careful every time you open your mouth, how can you talk with freedom of thought? This really is a turning point. The world is bigger and I understand this and I also understand that people finally have a voice and speak up.”

Though gatekeepers like Miuccia Prada have made inroads to represent more diversity — in her case, opening a womenswear show with a Black model for the first time in over 10 years, putting The Black Image Corporation on view at Prada's cultural complex, adding the diversity council — many still manage to make missteps like this. It begs the question: with Prada's new preventive process in place to keep culturally insensitive products from happening, how did Miu Miu's wave/wig cap slip through?

We've heard back from Miu Miu and have updated this story.

Alexander Wang’s New Uniqlo Collection Will Keep You Cool This Summer

The first time a man made me feel uncomfortable, I was 12 or 13, that age you are when well-meaning adults start saying you look like a mujercita, a little woman, not a kid anymore. The details of the date and place remain fuzzy, but I remember clearly how a grown man my family knows hugged me a little too hard, held on to me for a little too long, and planted a kiss on my cheek a little too forcefully, to the point that it made me feel like my skin was crawling.

I had never been treated this way, but here I was, a confused mujercita with newly formed curves who still viewed the world with the eyes of a child. Looking back, there was nothing particularly sexual or abusive about the way he held me in front of my family, but it was also an uninvited, clear breach of my personal space. I understood something immediately: These invasions of your space, these small indignities, are the cost of moving through the world as a woman. Being a mujercita is just the beginning.

I've been thinking a lot about this moment, and every other time a man thought of my body as a public space, as women, four of them now, have been coming forward with allegations that former Vice President Joe Biden behaved inappropriately toward them in the past. Former Nevada Democratic politician Lucy Flores broke the silence last week. “I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified,” she wrote in an essay for The Cut. “I thought to myself, ‘I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair? ’ He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head.” Her allegations were followed by a similar account Monday. "It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head," former congressional aide Amy Lappos told the Hartford Courant. "He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth." On Tuesday, the New York Times reported two more stories; Caitlyn Caruso, a sexual assault survivor, said Biden rested his hand on her thigh even as she signaled she was uncomfortable at an event three years ago. D.J. Hill told the outlet that during a 2012 fundraiser Biden touched her shoulders and then began to drop his hand down her back, until her husband intervened.

All the women who’ve spoken up have emphasized that Biden’s alleged behavior was neither sexual harassment nor a criminal act. Instead, his actions exist in the realm of transgressions that we’ve come to see as ordinary, as rites of passage for women in the vein of the “boys will be boys” narrative that persists in society. What these women have said, however, is that his alleged actions made them feel demeaned and helpless because of the obvious imbalance of power. When these incidents took place, Biden was a longtime politician and at the time, the second-most powerful man in the U.S.

In his first statement issued Sunday, Biden stressed he didn’t believe he had acted inappropriately, but that he would listen “respectfully” to women’s experiences. He followed up with a video posted on social media Tuesday, framing his interactions as a matter of connecting with people and attributing women's experiences to how "social norms ... have shifted." He said he would be more mindful of people's personal space in the future, but he never apologized to the women who've spoke up. At the same time, his team has aggressively pushed back against the existing collection of photos and videos of Biden behaving questionably throughout the years — from whispering into women's and girls’ ears to kissing them in a similar manner to the way Flores said he kissed her. At no time, however, has Biden called the women liars or denied the incidents took place. For him, it’s a matter of perspective and intention. His defenders say his behavior boils down to the curse of being someone who is too affectionate. Biden himself doesn’t think he behaved inappropriately, therefore to them, that means he didn’t.

Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 3, 2019

Hearing these women's experiences, I can’t help but think of all the times when I felt powerless and disgusted by a man’s behavior in a professional setting — even if I’m pretty sure some of them thought they were behaving in the same paternalistic, old-school way that has made “Uncle Joe” so appealing to many. Take for example when I was a bright-eyed 19-year-old at my first journalism internship and one of my supervisors touched my face and told me I would “look good on TV” while running his thumb across my cheek. This was a radio internship.

If only I had believed at 19 — after being raised on a steady diet of “good girls don’t cause problems,” at my first professional internship, in front of someone who could make or break my career before it had even begun — that it was even an option for me to assert myself and ask of this relative stranger not to touch me again. Instead, I laughed awkwardly, made up an excuse to walk away, and buried the exchange in the box of other creepy encounters I’ve had in my life. I could list similar transgressions that have plagued my life for hours on end: the looking up-and-down at my body before jokingly telling my father to “lock me away” to protect me from prospective suitors during my teenage years; the arm around my waist and the squeeze that followed at networking events; the kisses meant for the cheek but that landed dangerously close to my mouth. Small indignities peppered throughout my everyday life, as normal as breathing.

For some, these don’t amount to real violations, the so-called bad kind of misconduct that covers everything from rape to harassment, the kind at the center of the societal reckoning that has come into focus in the last 18 months. And yet, these types of experiences that we’ve long treated as innocuous color how women move through the world, especially for those who are already vulnerable and marginalized. It’s worth having an honest conversation — especially since the current occupant of the White House has been accused over and over again of sexual misconduct — about the boundaries men routinely cross without falling into the category society has deemed “truly bad” behavior.

Biden has approached these women’s experiences with a flippant attitude that is incredibly tone-deaf considering the cultural moment we find ourselves in.

It’s unclear how much Biden wants to engage with this conversation. Despite the insistence that he’s a champion of women, Biden’s team and by extension, the former vice president himself, have approached the women’s experiences with a flippant attitude that is incredibly tone-deaf considering the cultural moment we find ourselves in. Both of his non-apologies eerily echo the one he gave Anita Hill for the way he treated her after she accused Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. And according to the New York Times, Biden’s team sent the outlet quotes from nearly two dozen women — all former staffers, power players in politics, and media personalities — “vouching for the former vice president.” The “not the Biden I know” defense flies in the face of decency, particularly after many Democrats raged against the list of women who signed a letter supporting Justice Brett Kavanaugh after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

Biden’s 2020 presidential bid has been all but announced. He will likely forge on, regardless of the allegations against him. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that while she doesn’t think Biden’s actions are disqualifying, he should understand “people's space is important to them and what's important is how they receive it, not necessarily how you intended it." This understanding is at the heart of the allegations — the women who’ve spoken up deserve to hear him reckon with how his actions made them feel uncomfortable and demeaned. But because the ability to discuss these experiences with nuance has been lost, there’s been fear among many that this type of behavior is being lumped in with more grave allegations, such as the ones against President Donald Trump or many other men in power who’ve been accused of abusive behavior.

The potential for weaponization on the part of bad actors is also high, with groups such as the pro-Trump Great America PAC planning to release a “Creepy Joe Biden” ad. At a time when Democrats are desperate to find someone who can take back the White House, with Biden poised as the frontrunner before even entering the race, some question whether it’s even worth it to discuss his past conduct when there are “more important” issues to focus on. But it’s imperative to understand that harm exists on a spectrum and refusing to ask our elected officials to show empathy and ability to evolve is disappointing behavior for a party that claims to have the best interests of the American people at heart.

While I don’t think it’s productive to call for Biden’s head and write him off over this conduct — voters should also evaluate him on his record — we need a thoughtful conversation surrounding his lack of self-awareness about how his actions have impacted women and played into the same type of misogyny he has fought against. Legendary feminist activist Gloria Steinem put it best: “Our bodies and voices belong to us — that should be the first step in democracy. Just ask before hugging.” The women who’ve spoken up about their experiences with Biden have underscored this sentiment over and over again. It should not be that complicated. Biden can either choose to be an active participant in this debate or continue to be glib. I wouldn’t be surprised if he chooses the latter, however, because what’s one more indignity to deal with?

31 Makeup Looks Anyone Can Copy In May

With only a few hours left until the red carpet premiere, it's no surprise that the whole world is watching the Game of Thrones cast's every move. It's been nearly two years since White Walkers turned Viserion into a killer undead dragon; the Wall, which protects all of the Seven Kingdoms from the zombie apocalypse, was completely destroyed; and sister duo, Sansa and Arya Stark teamed up to slay Littlefinger during the show's penultimate season finale. But while we've been twiddling our thumbs waiting for the final season to begin, the cast has been doing just the opposite — Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams in particular.

For starters, Sophie Turner got engaged to Joe Jonas, whom many would say is the hottest Jonas brother (unless you're team Nick, of course). Maisie Williams launched her creative networking app, Daisie, and famously dyed her hair pastel pink. And then there's the part about their rise to fashion royalty.

Between gracing magazine covers, landing partnerships with Coach (Williams) and Louis Vuitton (Turner), and sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week, the twosome have officially become fashion powerhouses.

A post shared by Sophie Turner (@sophiet) on Mar 26, 2019 at 8:07am PDT

Their latest style moment only adds to their already-impressive repertoire. Early Tuesday morning, Williams and Turner appeared on Good Morning America in top notch designer looks. Turner donned head-to-toe Proenza Schouler, including a leather button-up and high-waisted wide leg trousers. Williams paired a navy short suit from Thom Browne's spring 2019 collection with a white COS tee and her fave leopard print Coach boots. With tonight's red carpet mere hours away, it's safe to say these aren't the only winning fashion looks the duo will serve this week.

In the meantime, feel free to splurge on a few Sophie- and Maisie-approved designer buys below.

Hollywood's Effortless Hairstyle Trend Is Perfect For Every Spring Occasion

A man from Addison, NY was arrested Friday and charged with threatening to assault and murder a U.S. official after he allegedly made death threats against Rep. Ilhan Omar.

According to the criminal complain t and affidavit, on March 21, a member of Omar’s staff received a phone call from Patrick Carlineo during which he threatened to kill the congresswoman. The staff member reportedly recalls Carlineo asking whether they worked for the Muslim Brotherhood, accusing Omar of being a terrorist, and threatened to “put a bullet in her fucking skull.”

Immediately after receiving the call, staff at Omar’s office contacted the U.S. Capitol Police, Threat Assessment Section, who began investigating alongside the FBI, reports the Star-Gazette. According to the affidavit, Carlineo sounded angry on the phone, but still provided the spelling of his name and contact information. Authorities were able to track him down using the information he provided.

Carlineo was questioned by the FBI on March 29. According to the complaint, when questioned, he identified as a patriot and a Donald Trump supporter who hates radical Muslims in government. While he did not recall the exact words he said to Omar’s staff member, he did agree to the sentiment of the message the staffer reported. Omar is one of three Muslim members of Congress. She was elected during the 2018 midterms to represent Minnesota.

Authorities confirmed with Carlineo that he had a shotgun and a .22-caliber rifle at his home.

On April 5, Carlineo was taken into custody. He made an initial appearance in court that same day and will be held awaiting a detention hearing on Wednesday, April 10. Should he be convicted of making death threats against a government official, he could face a $250,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both.

There are 2.8 million people in Jamaica. To put that in perspective, that’s less people than live in Kansas. And yet, Jamaican food, Jamaican culture, Jamaica beaches, Jamaican music, and, yes, Jamaican fashion, are internationally recognized and respected. From rasta to reggae, the world looks to Jamaica for how to chill out.

But one of the country’s most influential cultural exports today is decidedly un-chill: Dancehall. Characterized by giant sound systems, street parties, and wild moves, dancehall has infected pop music around the world including international artists like Rihanna, Drake, and Justin Bieber. But dancehall is not new. Dating back to the ’40s, dancehall is said to be the grandfather of hip hop, EDM, and DJ culture, and has strong political roots. It was and still is a place for folks to escape from and protest against the harsh realities of poverty, unemployment, and violence.

But you don’t have to travel to Kingston to see it in action. Dancehall — along with dancehall queens, the sexily dressed, acrobatic, rubber-limbed women who rule the dance floor — is all over Instagram. The confidence they exude in their moves, their demeanor, and their risqué, skin-out style clothes (or lack thereof) is captivating. But part of it can also be upsetting. Many of the dance moves look like sex on steroids, with huge stunts that seem to reinforce male dominance and female submissiveness.

In a country where one in three women will experience domestic violence, dancehall seems to both reinforce dangerous gender roles and also push against it. So, is this empowerment? Or is this exploitation?

The answer, as always, is much more complicated than that. Dancehall exaggerates what happens in Jamaican society — the good and the bad. But it gives women a place to work out these issues with a support system of sisters and brothers behind them. It’s a big, bold first step to work through a much-needed discussion, and the women who dominate in dancehall have the moves to pull it off.

Black Camp: How We Used Fashion To Fight Erasure At The Met Gala

Why Was Black Camp Left Out Of The Met Exhibit?

New Jersey Superior Court Judge John F. Russo Jr. is facing a possible three-month suspension without pay for asking an alleged sexual assault victim whether she tried closing her legs to prevent the assault.

The Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct overseeing the case say he has violated the Code of Judicial Conduct with this line of questioning in addition to numerous other instances in recent years, the Washington Post reports.

In 2016, Russo was overseeing a case where a woman was seeking a restraining order against the father of her child, who she claims raped her and threatened her life. In the transcript from the hearing, Russo began a line of questioning by asking, “Do you know how to stop somebody from having intercourse with you?” According to the transcript, the judge had the woman list out ways to prevent an assault. She suggested attempting to physically harm her assailant, saying no, and running away. When asked if there was anything else she could have done, the woman responded, “That’s all I know.” To which, Russo asked, “Block your body parts? Close your legs? Call the police? Did you do any of those things?”

The committee found Russo’s line of questioning to be “unwarranted” and “egregious given the potential for those questions to re-victimize the plaintiff, who sought redress from the court under palpably difficult circumstances.” According to the committee’s report, Russo denied the woman’s request for a restraining order, citing her answers to his line of questioning as reason for his decision.

Russo stands by his line of questioning, saying that it was necessary to “demonstrate the element of force or coercion used during the assault.” He denies that the questions were inappropriate; however, the committee claims that Russo has agreed to not ask those types of questions in the future. In March 2018, Russo’s lawyer, David F. Corrigan, made a statement to the local NBC News station, saying, “Judge Russo looks forward to a public hearing in which he will be able to respond to the allegations against him.” This was right after the complaint was filed.

The committee's investigation into the matter includes interviews with Russo and two dozen other individuals. The recommendation for his suspension, a 45-page document, was released earlier this week. According to the New York Times, the New Jersey Supreme Court has set a hearing for July to determine what disciplinary actions will be taken.

How Pre-Run Meals Can Make Or Break Your Workout

With the 2020 presidential race starting to warm up (are you already exhausted by it too?), it’s no surprise that Saturday Night Live turned its eye on Joe Biden’s inappropriate behavior.

Biden, played by surprise guest Jason Sudeikis, meets with his team and tries to explain his touchy-feely ways. "I'm a hugger, I'm a kisser, and a little bit of a sniffer," Sudeikis' Biden said. "But the last thing I want to do is offend anyone."

Two women are brought in to interact with Biden, both of whom, he is told, want a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020.

“You mean the guy who actually bragged about assault on tape?” Sudeikis, as Biden, pointedly asks.

“Yes, but unlike his voters, your voters actually care,” explains a consultant played by Cecily Strong.

As Andrea González-Ramírez wrote for Refinery29 earlier this week, Biden’s actions exist in the realm of transgressions that we’ve come to see as ordinary, as rites of passage for women deal with in the vein of the “boys will be boys” narrative that persists in our society.

The onus has always been on women to signal they are uncomfortable with casual touching, and society has told us for so long that our bodies don’t really belong to us. That is even more so the case when the man doing the touching is a longtime politician and at the time of the reported incidents, the second-most powerful man in the U.S.

Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it. pic.twitter.com/Ya2mf5ODts

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 3, 2019

And while the former vice president has apologized and acknowledged hismistakes in a video shared on his social media accounts, he also doesn’t seem to be taking the issue that seriously, making jokes about the complaints. While speaking at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers conference in Washington, D.C., Biden hugged Lonnie Stephenson, the union’s president. Immediately after he said: “I just want you to know I had permission to hug Lonnie.” The crowd, mostly made up of men, laughed and clapped.

Biden, and men like him, need to take this issue seriously and start keeping their hands to themselves in 2019 (and beyond). Women voters are tired of their concerns being brushed aside, and we’re paying attention to how those running for office are addressing them.

Day One

8:30 a.m. — My alarm goes off, waking me up in the middle of a completely bizarre dream. I close my eyes under the pretense of trying to remember the dream, but then doze off until my first (of three) back-up alarm goes off. I turn to my boyfriend, Z., who also needs to wake up. I hop out the door around 9:10 and catch the train just as it arrives at the platform. On my way in, I stop by the office cafeteria to pick up my usual — a plain Greek yogurt with berries and granola to sprinkle on top ($3.27). I also pour myself my first (of too many, if I'm being honest) coffee of the day. $3.27

1 p.m. — Things have been pretty slow at work for the past week, so I end up bored-snacking all day. For lunch I heat up a mishmash of roasted portobello mushrooms and sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, and cauliflower rice mixed with black beans, all topped with hot sauce I keep at my desk. It's good, but not filling. I have white cheddar Smartfood Popcorn as well. I ordered a pack of 40 for $15 on Amazon, and it has been my go-to snack lately!

3 p.m. — The day is dragging on. I've spent most of it working on a pro bono case. There isn't any deadline looming, but because I know at the drop of the hat I can be flung into an assignment that could take up essentially every waking moment, I do my best to take advantage of this slower time to get ahead. Even still, I need a break. I visit The New Yorker 's website but I've hit my free article limit for the month. They have a promotion of 12 articles for $6, so I sign up. It also comes with a free tote bag, which explains all the New Yorker bags I see on the subway. Great free advertising for them! $6

6 p.m. — I leave work and I'm still hungry despite snacking all day. There's a Sweetgreen right at the subway entrance by my house, so I stop by on the way. I order a Guacamole Greens, subbing the chicken for mushrooms and the tortilla chips for cheese crisps (yum!!). I eat at home, and it's delicious. Z. comes home from work a couple hours later and joins me in bed to watch The Detour on Hulu. We're a few episodes in, and it's funny, but I don't find myself feeling excited to watch it. We've been struggling to find a new show to watch together now that we've finished The Handmaid's Tale and The Good Place. $12.79

Daily Total: $22.06

Day Two

8 a.m. — I wake up a little earlier today because I didn't shower last night. I manage to only press snooze twice before rolling out of bed. Z. and I end up leaving together for work, and we make it out the door around 9, which is a bit earlier than normal. I have a training at work that starts at 10, so I want to be able to settle in at my desk first without rushing. I make it to the training and fill up a plate with the free breakfast. The training is interesting and a welcome change of pace from my normal work day.

2 p.m. — I have a client intake meeting for a pro bono case. These are always my favorite, and the rest of the morning/early afternoon fly by. Next thing you know, it's 2, and I still haven't eaten lunch. I swing down to the cafeteria and buy a tuna sandwich with carrots and a pickle on the side. I resist getting cheese on it, but I do have it heated up because there is something a bit more satisfying about a warm lunch. Not to mention our office is always freezing, so I will take any warmth I can get. $6.10

6 p.m. — I'm able to leave work at a reasonable time again. I know that I'm going to be swamped again soon, so I try really hard to not feel too guilty about it. I'm yet again ravenous, despite having eaten an extremely large tuna sandwich just four hours ago. On the subway home, I pop onto my Sweetgreen app and order a Hummus Tahina salad but substitute the falafel with warm portobello mushrooms. I manage to work mushrooms into almost every salad I get there — I'm obsessed. $13.61

6:30 p.m. — I feel bad about ordering Sweetgreen two nights in a row, especially when I have time to make dinner myself. I get off the subway a stop early so I can stop by Duane Reade and pick up some Mint Chocolate Chip Enlightened Ice Cream. Because a $6 pint of ice cream is clearly the solution to feeling bad about reckless spending. I also pick up a pack of paper towels while I'm at it. I swing by Sweetgreen to pick up my salad and then head home. $9.48

7 p.m. — On the walk home, I call my dad to catch up. I love taking advantage of commuting time to talk to family. At home, I dig in to my salad. Z. is going to be at a work party until late tonight, so I lounge around and text my friend, A., to make plans for Friday night. It turns out he has a date planned, but he inspires me to try to get a group together to do trivia. Then I dig into my ice cream and turn on Friends from College. Depressing.

11:30 p.m. — Z. comes home from the party and gets into bed. Just in the nick of time to save me from myself, as I was about to start the second season of Friends from College — which A. warned me is even more depressing than the first. We talk for a few minutes before saying goodnight and falling asleep.

Daily Total: $29.19

Day Three

8:15 a.m. — It's Friday! Z. is able to work from home today, so getting out of bed is even harder than normal. I hop in the shower and then get ready a bit slower than I should. At 9:20, I get an email from a partner asking to hop on a call at 9:45. I throw on my coat and run out the door. I manage to catch a train as it pulls into the station and make it to my desk at 9:46 — nice!

10:15 a.m. — After the call, I meander on down to the cafeteria to get my usual Greek yogurt with strawberries and granola ($3.27). I have to hold off on eating it because I'm getting blood work done at 10:30 and need to fast until after. At the appointment, they have a pile of free Luna bars, so I snag a Chocolate Dipped Coconut one — yum. I'm a little worried about my blood test results, as my lifestyle has definitely slipped a bit over the past year as some stressful periods at work derailed some of my fitness and nutrition habits. I vow to make more of a conscious effort to make smart health decisions. $3.27

1 p.m. — A friend from college is in my office building for a meeting, so we decide to catch up over lunch. We go to Beyond Sushi, a vegan sushi joint, and each get the lunch special — a sushi roll and a side. I pick up the check. Like every fast casual place in the area, it's packed during lunch. As soon as we get our food, we squeeze our way out and eat outside. It is bizarrely warm, and we're able to eat outside! We discuss our jobs, ambitions, and his upcoming wedding. He's marrying one of my best friends from college. $29.22

4:30 p.m. — I leave early because work is slow and I need to pack. Z. and I have been texting all afternoon about taking a spur of the moment weekend trip to Philadelphia, and we decide to do it! He books the bus tickets leaving Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening ($56 for both) and the hotel for Saturday night ($220) on our joint credit card. Once we moved in together, we realized sharing a credit card that we put all shared expenses on made the most sense. We just split the balance every month — easy! $138

6 p.m. — I decide to take advantage of the great weather and go for a run outside for the first time in months! I'm a huge baby when it comes to the cold, so anything below 65 degrees is too cold for me to run in. I do a 30-minute run in Central Park (how I missed it!) and then hop in the shower. When I get out, Z. and I decide to call the sushi place downstairs to get takeout for dinner. We split three basic rolls, a fancy roll, and each get a miso soup. It's $14.60 for my half. $14.60

8 p.m. — Trivia time!! We are cutting it close on time, but luckily the bar hosting trivia is only 15 blocks away, so we can walk. We meet our friends there and grab a booth. This is our first time doing trivia at this bar, and it turns out to be much easier than the other spot we have tried. I personally like it, but the more serious trivia buffs of the group are not impressed. I get a question right (Q: What was St. Patrick's original color? A: Blue!) and allow myself to bask in the glory of my genius for about 30 seconds before admitting that I only knew that because I read it last night. We end up in ninth place out of 24 teams — not bad. I had two ciders. $17.13

10:30 p.m. — We get home, finish packing, and crawl into bed by 11.

Daily Total: $202.22

Day Four

6:50 a.m. — This is the earliest I've woken up in a while. Z. hops in the shower and I start getting ready. On our way out, we stop at a bodega to grab a bottle of water for the road and then take the subway down to Penn Station. We're early, so we stop at a Dunkin' to get a large black coffee on the way into Penn Station. Once we're in, Z. realizes he's hungry. We spy another Dunkin' and he grabs a breakfast wrap. I brought a big Pink Lady Apple to eat on the road, but my hands feel gross after the subway, so I decide to buy some hand sanitizer ($2.50). Then we hop on the bus, which leaves exactly at 8:30. $7.80

10:30 a.m. — We arrive in Philly exactly on time. The hotel is less than a 10-minute walk away from the station, so we walk over and they offer to let us check in early — score! Then we make our way up to the room, which ends up being a huge corner room with a kitchen — double score! We drop off our bags and then walk around a bit before making it to our noon reservation at The Love, a restaurant that was recommended to us by friends. We share a plate of biscuits with maple pepper butter spread, I order a South Philly frittata, and Z. orders chicken and waffles. The Love does not disappoint. We pay with our shared credit card, so I pay half. $24

2 p.m. — With full bellies, we head to the famous Rocky Steps. We take a few pictures and soak in the view before deciding another snack is in order. Z.'s friend recommended Tahina Shakes from a local falafel joint called Goldie. We're skeptical, so we order one to share, with a plan to get another dessert at a second location. I also order a side of pickles. We pay with our shared card. The shake is out of this world!! I am beyond shocked, and instantly regret only ordering one. $3

3 p.m. — We head to Reading Terminal Market to get a famous Beiler's donut. We manage to wriggle through the herds of people and I set eyes on some of the richest, most glorious looking donuts I've ever seen. I head toward the end of the line, only to realize the line curves around the edge of the restaurant stall and continues for another 30 people. No way. Instead, we head to a market stall with no line, and grab a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and a cup of coffee. Then we get out of there! $3

4 p.m. — We head back to the hotel room for a nap before getting ready for the evening. On the way, we grab three water bottles at CVS, which we put on the shared card ($3). I hop in the shower, get ready, and we're out the door at 5 to head to the Chili's right next to the hotel. I'm reluctant to admit that I've travelled to a new city to eat at a chain restaurant, but I love Chili's chips and salsa, and they don't have one in NYC. After waiting 20 minutes, we plop down at the bar and get an order of bottomless chips and salsa and two drinks each. We have a reservation at 7:30 that we need to get to but have trouble getting the bartender's attention for a bill. When we finally get it, we pay in cash so we don't have to wait for him to run the card, and we bolt! $22.50

7:30 p.m. — We make it to our first dinner reservation. Since we're only here for one night, we decide to make the most of it and get food and drinks at several places. I order a fancy drink with tequila, chili, and blood orange soda. Z. orders a mixed drink with some dark liquor that makes me gag. We also get an octopus appetizer and a margherita pizza. Z. ends up getting a second drink, and when the bill comes, tries to pay for it himself because he feels bad. I refuse, and we pay with our shared credit card. I also tip the bathroom attendant ($1). $86

9 p.m. — On to our third location of the night — a speakeasy. We end up waiting in line for 20 minutes outside of an unmarked door as the doorman lets people in a few at a time. When we're let in, we're informed of the rules (no cellphones, pictures, cash only, etc.) before being led into a half empty bar — what a joke! Kudos to them for maintaining an air of exclusivity I guess, but we're not impressed. We sit at the bar and each have an overpriced cocktail. It's cash only, so Z. pays ($36).

10:30 p.m. — Our last and best stop of the night! We had heard great things about this restaurant but were only able to get a 10:30 reservation on such late notice. We went for it anyway, though. We order two cocktails, two veggie sides, and the gnocchi to share. Wow! The food is indescribably good. We vow to make a second trip to Philly solely to have the chance to have a full meal here. We can't resist dessert after how good the meal was, so we share a chocolate brownie with ice cream, too. Again, incredible. We put the bill ($102) on our shared card and leave the restaurant just before midnight to head back to our hotel. $51

Daily Total: $197.30

Day Five

9 a.m. — I wake up at 9, jump in the shower, and get ready for the free walking tour we booked! First we grab a quick bite at the hotel's complimentary breakfast bar — I have Greek yogurt topped with granola and and coffee in a to-go cup. We then check out and leave our backpack with the front desk to hold for the day. The tour starts promptly at 10:30. The tour guide is a little too rehearsed for me, and Z. enjoys it more than I do. We decide to tip $20, which Z. pays, because it was a huge group.

1 p.m. — We have brunch plans with one of Z.'s friend across town at 1:15, so we hop into an Uber that I pay for ($8.59). After not using the bathroom since before the tour, I'm about to pee my pants, so I bolt out of the Uber and run to the restaurant and into the bathroom. Once in the stall, I realize I left my purse (but not my phone) in the car. I called immediately, and the driver meets me on the corner he dropped me off at. I gratefully hand him $10 to thank him. Only later do I realize the Uber app automatically charges $15 when a driver has to turn around to drop off a lost item. Oh well. $33.59

1:20 p.m. — Disaster averted, we are finally about to sit down to brunch. Z.'s friend is great, and the brunch flies by. We each have two mimosas, I have salmon eggs Benedict, and Z. has a burger. We put our half on our card, so I pay half of that. $44

3 p.m. — After brunch, my sweet tooth is throbbing again. We head back to Reading Terminal Market to give Beiler's donuts another go. This time, they're closed. I guess it wasn't meant to be. We each get a $1 coffee at the same stall as yesterday, and then head to Federal Donuts, our second choice. We share a Mexican Hot Chocolate Donut, which we put on our card. It's good, but we know in our heart of hearts that Beiler's would have been better. (I pay for half of both coffee and donut.) $2.38

4 p.m. — We head to Goldie for another Tahina Shake (don't judge!), this time opting to share a Turkish Coffee-flavored one. We (I) also get a falafel pita sandwich, because Z.'s friend said they were to die for. Z. is borderline disgusted with my ability to eat almost the entire pita sandwich, but is trying not to show it. He tries one bite and agrees it's good, but is too full to indulge further. We put it on our card. $7.50

5 p.m. — Back on the bus home! We arrive at Penn Station at 6:50 p.m., hop on the subway, and are in sweats on our couch by 7:15 p.m. We revel in having a whole relaxing night of the weekend left. We decide to watch The Godfather Part II, but it's been taken off Netflix, so instead we watch The Breaker Upperers while snacking on some edamame and tangelos. We go to sleep by 11.

Daily Total: $87.47

Day Six

8:10 a.m. — Wake up, shower, and take the subway to work. At work, I dig into a strawberry Icelandic yogurt from Trader Joe's for breakfast that I have in the fridge. Then I head down to the cafeteria and buy three small tangerines to eat later. $1.20

1 p.m. — There's an event at work today that comes with free lunch. I don't always take advantage of this because it usually requires sticking around for a lecture, but I have the time today. I load up my plate.

3:30 p.m. — I get a few more things done at work and eat the tangerines I bought earlier.

6:30 p.m. — I gleefully leave work at a reasonable time. Once I get home, Z. and I can't decide what to have for dinner. After 30 minutes of indecision, we decide I'll get Sweetgreen for pickup and he'll get a chicken and rice platter. I end up ordering the Hummus Tahina again, and again substitute the falafel for warm portobello mushrooms. We head to pick up Z.'s food first, and while in line, decide to get two falafels on the side to share (I put mine on my salad). We finish the meal by heating up Trader Joe's Brookies (squares that are one layer of chocolate chip cookie and one layer of brownie) topped with vanilla ice cream. Not my healthiest day. I have trouble falling asleep, maybe because of all the sugar, and end up dozing off around 1 a.m. $13.51

Daily Total: $14.71

Day Seven

8 a.m. — Wake up a little earlier than normal because Z. showers after me and needs more time today because he needs to shave. I get into work around 9:35 and head immediately down to the cafeteria to get my Greek yogurt with berries and granola and coffee. I also grab a tangelo to eat later. $34.07

11 a.m. — I'm already thinking about food, despite having just eaten my yogurt. I have a meeting at noon, so I order Chop't for pickup at 1 p.m. I get the Guacamole Greens salad but modify it so that instead of tortilla chips, I get parmesan chips. After my meeting, I walk by a line of what looks like 40 people, trying not to look to gleeful as I skip the line to pick up my food. It's good, but there isn't enough dressing. I finish the meal with a tangelo for dessert. $10.08

3 p.m. — I'm getting sleepy, so I head to the kitchen for my third coffee of the day. Then I head back to my desk, open a bag of SmartFood white cheddar popcorn, and read today's Money Diary before getting back to work.

7:30 p.m. — Next thing I know, the sun has already set. I pack up my computer to finish a few tasks from home and hop onto the train. Z. is still at work, so I peek into the fridge to see what I can make myself for dinner. I settle for avocado toast on the Ezekiel bread I keep in the freezer and a few eggs.

9 p.m. — It's time to change the sheets, so I strip the bed and throw them into the full hamper. I begrudgingly realize laundry needs to be done, so I stuff the contents of the hamper into the laundry bag and lug it to my laundromat. Luckily, it's on the same block as our apartment, so it's not a huge hike. I still feel weird about it, but we pay to have our laundry washed and folded for us. But I try not to let myself feel bad because our apartment doesn't have laundry in it and spending what free time I do have in a laundromat is just not worth the extra $5 I would save. I put it on our shared card, so I pay half. $18.19

9:45 p.m. — Z. gets home, and we head to the gym. He recently got a membership at the same gym as me, and we do our best to go a few times a week. Some weeks are better than others, but after a weekend of treating ourselves in Philadelphia, we decided to take working out seriously this week. We run for 30 minutes and then call it a night. It's hard making it to the gym late at night after a full day, but it beats waking up in the morning to do it!

10:30 p.m. — I shower first, and then while Z. is in the shower I call my parents. They live on the west coast. The distance is hard, but the one benefit is that I can call them late at night and it's still a reasonable time there. I fill them in on the events of the weekend before crawling into bed, exhausted. Unlike last night, I'm out almost immediately. Who knew exercise was better for your sleep than Brookies and ice cream?

From Undocumented Immigrant To TV Producer: How I Paid My Way Through College & To My Dream Job

How To Deal When You Manage Someone Older Than You

In Refinery29's Sweet Digs, we take a look inside the sometimes small, sometimes spacious homes of millennial women. Today, 31-year-old Ria Smith and her husband Hugh share their luxe two-bedroom apartment in Newark, New Jersey.

When Ria and Hugh first got engaged, they were drawn to the idea of a loft apartment. But after two years of tiny windows, brick wall, and zero separation of living spaces, the couple got tired of it and started itching for something new.

So when Ria got an email saying a new development was open and looking for renters, she decided to check it out. "I was just being nosy, and wasn't planning on moving," she says. "Our lease wasn't up, and we weren't looking to move, we just heard there was a new building down the block."

After a tour of the apartment, the couple was sold, if only because of the floor-to-ceiling windows. "We got out of our lease a whole year early and moved in," Ria says.

Still, despite it being a new development, the couple behind the newly-launched e-design company Hunter Hue had to make some adjustments to make the space fit their modern decor. First up: Painting the walls a stark flat white. Watch the video above to see exactly what they left their loft for — and read on for decorating tips and the nitty gritty details.

Did you two have a broker's fee to deal with?

"We did not have a brokers fee because we came and checked it out ourselves. We also got one month free because it was a brand new building, which was just taken off from the deposit. The security deposit we did a traditional 1-month's rent, and we had also a dog fee which was $500, and then we have dog rent which is $40 a month per dog."

What is the most expensive thing in your apartment?

"The couch was the most expensive. It was about $3,000 we got it from West Elm. It’s leather, and it’s just a really beautiful couch and we just didn’t want to go with a standard material because we have two dogs and they sometimes have accidents."

Do you have any design tips or tricks?

"With art, we kept it to one art piece per room mostly. We like single, large pieces. It's clean and modern and sometimes if you put too much art on the wall, it clutters the space. Because we wanted an open feel, we decided to go with single large pieces."

What has influenced your home style?

"I work for an interior decorator and my husband just has a great design eye so we do it together. He honestly has a better design eye than I do, and has a lot of talent. Our style is pretty modern Scandinavian, open, clean, and simple. Ultimately, we want it to feel like a hotel, and if a guest comes they can feel comfortable."

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs married his longtime partner, model-turned-candlemaker Char Defrancesco, in a lavish celebration of their love in New York City on Saturday evening.

Not surprisingly, the couple’s celebration was full of meaning — and fabulous fashion.

The couple has been together for more than three years. Last year, E! News reports, Jacobs proposed to his love at Chipotle with a flash mob performing a choreographed dance to the Prince classic “Kiss.”

The iconic designer shared some of his prep on Instagram, revealing he had a selection of ties and footwear ready for the event, writing, “Choices. A gurl needs options.”

Jacobs shared a photo of his wedding ring and a meaningful onyx diamond penguin pin that he and Defancesco both wore. "Penguins have only one partner and mate for life. A great example of faithfulness and fidelity," he wrote.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen has resigned from her post, President Donald Trump announced Sunday evening. Her departure is reportedly part of a massive overhaul at the department, led by White House adviser Stephen Miller.

"Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving her position, and I would like to thank her for her service," Trump tweeted. "I am pleased to announce that Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary for @DHSgov. I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"

Nielsen, who replaced Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly as head of DHS when he was tapped to become the White House's chief of staff, became the youngest person to occupy the role at the age of 46. During her confirmation hearing, she faced intense criticism because she had no previous experience leading an organization the size of Homeland Security, the government's third-largest agency.

Trump had a contentious relationship with Nielsen, at times blaming her for not being tough enough when it came to immigration enforcement and feeling frustrated that she didn't implement his hardline immigration policies with enough gusto. He repeatedly scolded her at Cabinet meetings, questioned her loyalty, and mockingly called her "Bushie" in reference to her experience working on President George W. Bush's administration.

Nevertheless, Nielsen was a reliable foot-soldier of the White House and became the face of the administration's outrageous zero-tolerance immigration policy, which led to the forced separation of thousands of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border last year. Nielsen's false claims and cold defense of the policy led to calls for her firing. She was even heckled out of a Mexican restaurant for her role in the border crisis.

Her resignation comes just days after President Trump withdrew his pick to run the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department, Ronald Vitiello, without giving Nielsen a heads up. Trump reportedly wanted a nominee that would steer ICE in a tougher direction, according to media reports.

Michelle Pfeiffer has made a career out of being unpredictable. At one time, she was Catwoman, purring unforgettable lines like, "Life's a bitch, now so am I." A decade earlier, she was Elvira Hancock in Scarface — a role so iconic that people recreate it every Halloween. In the past 10 years alone, she's played the ultimate villain in Hairspray and Bernie Madoff's wife.

Now, at 60, she's taking on an entirely new role as the founder of her own fragrance line called Henry Rose, which is launching with five different unisex scents. Even for Pfeiffer, this pivot seems highly unlikely, especially given how she went without wearing a single drop of perfume for 10 years.

"Around 2004, I stumbled upon the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database," says Pfeiffer, who shares two children, Claudia Rose and John Henry Pfeiffer, with Hollywood producer David E. Kelley. "I went down the rabbit hole, and started searching everything I and my children used. What I found is that whenever fragrance came up, it would be flagged as 'high hazard.'" That's largely due to the lack of transparency around the term 'fragrance' on ingredients lists.

Pfeiffer decided to give up perfume for an entire decade, and start focusing on creating a fragrance she could trust. It was harder than she anticipated. "I thought, Maybe I can try to develop one with a cosmetic company," Pfeiffer says. "I approached a few, and they were not interested in being transparent in the ingredients. I didn’t feel comfortable putting my name or face on something that I wouldn’t wear myself. I got discouraged pretty quickly, and shelved it for a while."

Years went by, and as more people started paying attention to what was inside of their personal care products, Pfeiffer decided to give it another shot, approaching International Flavors & Fragrances with the idea of creating the first fine fragrances that are EWG-certified with a completely transparent ingredient list. They bit, and for the last year, Pfeiffer has been involved at every stage — from selecting the perfumers and ingredients to making sure the brand is environmentally conscious. (The bottles themselves are made from NEO-Infinite glass — 90% recycled, 100% recyclable — and have soy caps.)

Which one should I choose? I'm so #torn @henryrose

A post shared by Michelle Pfeiffer (@michellepfeifferofficial) on Apr 3, 2019 at 12:02pm PDT

If you've noticed, despite this being a celebrity fragrance, it's not very celebrity fragrance-y. It's not called something like "Pfeiffer Perfumes," and she isn't planning on putting herself on much of the marketing materials, either. According to her, there's a reason for that. "I really took to heart advice that I got that people have become a little bit suspicious and doubtful of celebrity endorsements," she says. "I felt that it was very important that the brand stand alone and that the credibility stands separate from me."

Despite her not planning to star in any kind of ad campaign for Henry Rose, Pfeiffer has clearly left her mark on the line. For one, the line is named after her children's middle names: Henry and Rose. One scent, called Jake's House, is inspired by a smell that was in her grandparent's bathroom in North Carolina. "My grandfather's name is Jake," she says. "It smells very soap-y and clean." Another scent, Torn, was inspired by the Old Spice her father used to wear, while the scent Fog is inspired by Pfeiffer's summers in San Francisco.

Now, given Pfeiffer's long list of unforgettable roles, we had to ask: Which Henry Rose scents would her most memorable characters wear? "Obviously Catwoman would wear Dark Is Night," Pfeiffer says. "Susie Diamond [from The Fabulous Baker Boys] might wear Torn. Sukie [from The Witches of Eastwick]... she would wear either Fog or Jake’s House. And Last Light they all might wear to lunch."

This Is The Top-Selling Bath & Body Works Scent In Your State

What is it about childhood cartoons that causes heart palpitations in the hearts of so many shoppers? It seems like almost every week a new brand — in categories from footwear to high fashion — is announcing a new collaboration with a throwback character that most of us remember watching on Saturday morning TV or reading in the comics section of the newspaper. And you know what? As constant as this stream of collaborations is, and as much product that we as editors see, I — yes, switching to “I” now — don’t think we’ll ever get tired of it. Every collaboration announcement brings a smile to our faces, no matter how many times we’ve seen an all-over Mickey print.

So it was with no shortage of delight and excitement that we tackled this round-up of our favorite cartoon character collaborations. Bear in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive — it just consists of some of the best ones we’ve seen in the last few years. Since many coveted collaborations are long since sold out, we relied heavily on eBay and Etsy to supplement what’s no longer on the shop floor. (This also means you better get to bidding, as most of these resale sites only offer one-of-a-kind options.) Finally, while we pooled our collective knowledge and created a pretty comprehensive list, there may be a few that we missed — and we’re relying on you guys to let us know in the comments sections. So click on through! We hope you have as much fun reading this as we did putting it together.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Beauty with Mi, hosted by Refinery29's beauty writer Mi-Anne Chan, explores the coolest new trends, treatments, products, and subcultures in the beauty world. Never miss an episode by subscribing here.

Jessica Casler's one-bedroom apartment is packed to the brim with things she's found on the curb or at the bottom of trash cans. Glittery palettes, scented lotions, expensive hair tools, and fluffy makeup brushes are scattered across a table in her kitchen — the collective bounty of seven years of dumpster diving.

I spot some familiar brands: Clinique, Sexy Hair, It Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills. Some of them have clearly been used, while others appear to be completely untouched. And she found all of it in the dumpsters behind the beauty store near her home in New Jersey.

Casler is part of a community of dumpster divers who share their finds on YouTube. In a world where hauls documenting new product purchases have become commonplace, dumpster diving videos serve as a type of "anti-haul," shedding light on cosmetic waste and breathing new life into products typically destined for landfills.

Over the years, Casler has discovered thousands of dollars worth of products in the dumpsters behind stores like Ulta Beauty and Sally Beauty. A large number of these products are returns or testers, while others are leftovers from final sales. "The first time I went diving, I found a box that said 'returns or damaged,'" Casler says. "I pulled it out and inside was a bunch of nice product. I put it in my car and went home. Not every dive goes like that, but the first time was very successful."

So, what happens with all the recovered products these divers bring home? Many people use the items themselves, but a growing number have taken to reselling them online in what's become a booming black market. Texas-based dumpster diver, Matt Malone, told Wired he could make upwards of $250,000 a year if he dedicated himself to dumpster diving full time. But he primarily sells electronic waste — and beauty products pose a much greater hazard.

Because they're swiped directly onto skin, lips, and eyes, beauty products from the trash can put consumers at risk of contracting infectious diseases like staph, herpes, and E. coli, says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital. Yes, even if you dip them in alcohol. "When I hear about sanitizing the applicator of a liquid lipstick, you're not sanitizing the liquid itself," he says. "Products that are liquid or in a moist environment creates an environment that allows for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms like fungi to grow."

And even if the products still have their protective seal, there's an issue of efficacy. Some ingredients, such as retinol, are less effective if exposed to sunlight or high temperatures (like, say, a dumpster on a hot summer day). Others might be expired. "If you're looking at something like sunscreen and you're using it past its expiration date, that sunscreen filter isn't doing the job it should be doing. You're putting yourself at risk," Dr. Zeichner adds.

When people hear that I dumpster dive, they always wonder why. But there's so much more than that. I hate thinking that all that stuff is going to be unused and go to a landfill when it doesn't need to be.

Legally speaking, dumpster diving occupies a gray area. Thanks to the 1988 Supreme Court case California v. Greenwood, the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside of private property isn't prohibited by the Fourth Amendment. In short, individuals or businesses have no reasonable expectation of privacy for items that were discarded, which means dumpster diving, as long as it occurs on public property, is legal. Certain local ordinances, however, can prohibit the practice in some places.

Many divers feel the benefits of dumpster diving outweigh the risks, especially if it means pointing a finger at America's waste problem. "The first time I went dumpster diving, it was so eye opening," says Casler. "When people hear that I dumpster dive, they always wonder why. But there's so much more than that. I hate thinking that all that stuff is going to be unused and go to a landfill when it doesn't need to be."

If you search "beauty product dumpster diving" on YouTube, the videos with the highest views (some in the millions) are all from dives behind Ulta Beauty stores. When asked why the retailer instructs employees to throw products away, and their stance on dumpster diving in general, Ulta Beauty provided this statement:

"Health and safety is a top priority for Ulta Beauty and we strongly discourage the unsafe, and sometimes illegal practice of “dumpster diving.” We are aware that individuals sometimes assume the risks associated with this practice and retrieve discarded products. Ulta Beauty, like other retailers, disposes of products for a reason. Products that are damaged, used, expired or otherwise unsaleable or unsuitable for donation are disposed of in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. These products should never be retrieved or used."

It's understandable that stores need to dispose of their unsalable product, especially if it poses a potential health concern. That's why some retailers have asked their employees to destroy makeup to keep it out of the hands of divers, including taking a knife to powders, cutting up lipsticks, or tossing foundation over makeup. This practice has become known in the dumpster diving community as "souping."

But while souping might deter dumpster divers, it doesn't solve the greater issue of waste — and that's a conversation that starts at the top. Beyond brands making efforts to create refillable makeup, eco-friendly packaging, and practice low-impact production, retailers and brands need to take better steps to recycle unused products. But because a large majority of beauty product packaging can't be processed in municipal recycling centers (pumps, pipettes, and some tubes don't qualify, for example), that often means bringing in third-party recycling organizations.

TerraCycle, which specializes in hard-to-recycle materials, is one such organization that works with major beauty brands like Garnier, Burt's Bees, and Tom's of Maine. The Garnier program, which is TerraCycle's longest standing beauty partnership, has diverted over 11.3 million pieces of waste from landfills. Says Gina Herrera, the US brand partnerships director at Terracycle, it's high time for retailers to start thinking about the end of life of their products — and it's something consumers want, too; more than 66% of global consumers report they would pay more for a sustainable product.

Despite the obvious wasted product, many stores have made steps toward a more sustainable future. Ulta Beauty, for example, has created a Corporate Energy Team which reduced the store's electric consumption by over 3,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2017. The store also makes an effort to recycle cardboard and plastic shrink wrap. But there's a long way to go across the industry.

At the consumer level, there's a responsibility to make smarter purchasing decisions, too. Beyond choosing to support sustainable brands, it's also important to consider returns. While it's great that stores allow customers to return used makeup, this means that they're also required to throw that product away for obvious health and hygiene reasons. This contributes exorbitantly to the waste created by retailers, as consumers lean more heavily on generous policies — especially with the rise of e-commerce which doesn't always allow for testing.

In an attempt to really wrap my mind around the sheer amount of waste the beauty industry produces, I accompanied Casler on a midnight dive. As Casler and I sifted through a dumpster behind a strip mall near her home, we found two boxes full of products. Next to a bag of what smelled like the store's food waste, we spotted dozens of discounted hairsprays, hair gels, and dye. In a box a few inches away, we found a complete set of powder acrylic polish, body lotion, and shampoo. "Oh, this is that good shampoo for blondes," Casler said as she sifted through the bottles. While there was definitely a thrill in discovering products, it was coupled with dread over witnessing the sheer amount of waste from a single day.

While dumpster diving might look like a niche pastime, the community of divers are actually bringing up a much larger conversation about ethical consumption and corporate responsibility. And if the climate reports have shown us anything, it's that companies and consumers need to take responsibility for the impact they've having on the world — and soon.

When asked what she'd like to see from the dumpster diving community in the future, Casler looked me dead in the eye and told me she hopes it doesn't even exist. "You wouldn't even want to dumpster dive, because everything would have a home."
