It's funny how period pieces made in different eras often manage to date themselves to when they were made. There were a lot of extremely early-90s visuals in early Granada-ITV Poirot, for example, in spite of its (for the most part) adhering to the letter of period wardrobe, makeup, and hair guidelines. 

Beth Goddard as Violet Wilson in Agatha Christie’s Poirot #37, “The Case of the Missing Will”, 1993, in a very 1993 makeup palette

I'd say the biggest or most notable thing that always throws me off is the eyebrows on the women.

Obviously, eyebrow shaping fashion has changed over the decades a good deal, and you can quickly find image references with both photos and drawings going back much earlier than the 1930s.

source: 1930s Beauty and Style – Hollywood Eyes

Equally obviously, not all women in any given decade follow eyebrow shape fashion, any more than they all go for trendy haircuts - some people don't change theirs at all, some people stick with the fashions of their youth, some people are guided by what they think will be flattering to their faces rather than being swayed by transient trends. (I've got a folder of celebrity and fashion photos from the 1920s and another folder of candids from the 1920s, and the differences between the two in hair and eyebrows are sometimes striking.)

But if you look at an ensemble filmed in the 1980s, you'd get a much different distribution of female eyebrows than you would with one filmed today, or in the 1930s. 

Or you could get surprisingly similar solid, mostly-clean dark lines, as in 9 to 5 (1980) and Ocean’s 8 (2018), both via IMDB. (Some variation will likely be evident in closeup.)

For that matter, a party filmed today could be noticeably different in the eyebrow department from a party filmed in 2008 and a YouTube makeup tutorial would definitely be (and among the women reading this, some are puzzled by this entire concept, some are aware of it but dismissive of it, and others are nodding along. Plenty of women out there are more aware of eyebrow fashion than I am - I'm hardly an aficionado.)

It's easy to see why many actresses might be unwilling to drastically change their eyebrows for a role, of course. 

Unlike Zachary Quinto, who has his shaved to play Spock.

They're likely going to be called on for a lot of high-definition photoshoots while promoting the film, or are at least going to film something else. Drag queens typically cover their actual eyebrows and paint on new ones, but that technique might not stand up to HD photography. 

source: MakeUp Wednesdays: RuPaul's Drag Race - 22 Queens Of Makeup

Makeup artists can alter the appearance of them without hair removal, no doubt, but there are limits to how far that will go (with HD photography in the mix). It's a little harder to understand why they didn't use these camoflaging techniques on Campion and early Poirot, but there are a lot of things that are technically possible that pre-prestige tv didn't do.

So anyway, when we watched The Mummy (1999) last week, Rachel Weisz's 1930s eyebrows were so right they shocked me. I think I interrupted proceedings to yell about it? I made such a fuss that @waxjism remembered the rant, which is a big deal for her when the rant concerns makeup.

At the time I thought they were the only Extreme That’s So 30s! Brows I'd ever seen; in retrospect, Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon also wears skinny high rounded arches - a style that suits her face well, however, and over-plucked brows weren't unusual in the early 90s. (Also, she hardly did any other film work at all since then.)

Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon in Agatha Christie’s Poirot #34, “The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb” (1993) and #8 “The Incredible Theft” (1989)

Weisz, however, definitely changed hers for this role. They were much thicker before The Mummy and went back to being so after they’d had time to grow out, and haven’t changed a great deal since 2004. (They were thin for The Mummy Returns, but not quite as thin.)

Weisz in I Want You (1998), the year before The Mummy

Weisz’s standard eyebrows in The Constant Gardener (2005)

To wrap up, the most recent example of high-budget, impeccably-designed and -researched 1930s costume extravaganza: here’s Daisy Ridley, Dame Judi Dench, and Lucy Boynton in 2017′s lavish Murder on the Orient Express. Dame Judi looks perfect to me. You can see a definite 30s flavor on the young women - Daisy’s eyebrows are clearly artificially thin, Lucy’s are given a clean edge and a rounded arch. They aren’t, perhaps, as period-fashionable as they absolutely could be, but they aren’t out of place.

CS AU : The Perfect Proposal

Once Upon a Festive Giving Exchange 2017

Title: The Perfect Proposal [full res fanart] Summary: Killian Jones has an image of the perfect proposal in his head, the one way he will surely win over the woman he wants to give his heart to for the rest of his life.  But will taking Emma on a five day break to the romantic, Austrian mountains help him find the courage and perfection he so desires? Rating: T Word count: 5089 - AO3 Author/Recipient: @artistic-writer for @pearlmackie AN: Written for @pearlmackie for this years Once Upon a Festive Giving Exchange 2017 - I hope i nailed all of the things you love about CS!  This has been written for a while now, and i made the fanart first, but thought you would like two gifts, so wrote a little ficlet too!  I know, I know, 5k isn’t exactly little but it is for me lol  Have a glorious Christmas my lovely! <3  With special thanks to my lovely beta for this project, @winterbaby89 <3 <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Killian was ready.  He had been ready for months, simply waiting for the right time. He had been carrying the tiny, velveteen box around with him, petrified that Emma would somehow discover it if he had left it at home.  It was easy to hide really, Maine was one of those states that often lends itself to needing a coat of some kind, which means plenty of pockets and plenty of hiding places.

Only now, as he stands on top of one of the whitest snowy peaks he had ever seen, Killian was suddenly not ready.  

This holiday had been a planned getaway after they had both decided they needed to unwind, and to just celebrate them.  They had decided they needed some alone time, time to get away from everything, but as they had previously found out, it was rather difficult to ‘escape’ family.  In the gentlest way he knew how, Killian had suggested to Emma that they leave America and holiday somewhere further away.  Somewhere in Europe.

As it was Christmas, they had gone somewhere with snow.  Following a quick internet search they had decided on a small, alpine retreat where they could indulge their fondness for skiing, in Austria. They chose a huge log cabin with an open plan living space and jaw dropping panoramic views of the white capped mountains around them from the floor to ceiling glass windows and a sun soaked balcony.  Killian had never been to Austria before and the subtly placed cabin wasn’t even a distraction from the Dachstein Mountains around them.

The day they had arrived, they were both too exhausted to do anything but stoke a log fire, warm some cocoa on the stove and enjoy each other, wrapped up in a huge real fur blanket.  The cabin owners had left them a short list of instructions on how to work everything, but they figured it could wait until they were warm and toasty.  When they retired for the night, having lost the natural light of day early in the evening, Killian checked on the tiny black box he had smuggled across the ocean with a smile.

Their second day, Emma had wanted to explore the wooded area near by.  So they had piled on clothes over their thermal base layers, and fumbled with the zips on their snow gear.  The crackling fire was the only sound as Killian watched Emma pull a grey, woolen bobble hat down over her ears.

“What?” She smirked, catching him watching her.

Killian stepped towards her, closing the gap between them and pulling her into his arms.  “Just admiring the view,” he smiled down at her, pressing his hand into the small of her back.

Emma rolled her eyes and relaxed into his embrace, swaying in his arms.  “The windows are behind you,” she purred.

“I know,” Killian grinned boyishly, holding her eye contact.  Emma’s eyes were the most dazzling shade of green with tiny flecks of amber littering the inner hues and if Killian didn’t know better, he would say the sparkle behind them was only for him.

“You old romantic,” Emma arched into him, flattening her palms over his chest with a smile that melts his heart.  All of the self doubt he had previously experienced faded away the second Emma smiled up at him.

Once again, he was ready.  

Only, things didn’t go exactly as he had hoped once they were actually outside.  Emma had slipped, losing her footing on some ice and tumbled down a snow covered slope where she landed flat on her behind.  It had kind of ruined the mood, so between laughing and scooping her up into his arms to carry her back to the cabin, Killian had decided that there would be more opportunities to tell the woman he loved how he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

On the third day, Killian arranged for them to try their hand at mushing.  They were both dog people, turning to blubbering messes at the sight of a puppy, so he figured that Emma would love the feel of being in control of a whole team.  It was something he had also wanted to try, and after a few quick tutorials from the musher, they had decided to take it in turns to steer.

The sled was rickety, despite being made of some very strong yet lightweight wood, but it glided over the snow like it was a feather.  The dogs pulled at their harnesses so hard that whilst she was sitting in the basket, Emma felt the front lift up, and briefly lost sight of the dogs.  Snow churned up from their paws splattered over her face but she didn't mind, too lost in the exhilaration to care.

When it was time to switch positions once more, Killian halted the dogs at the end of a designated trail.  They all stopped on his command, each dog’s tongue lolling to the side as they panted and sucked in the cold air between yelps of detest.  Killian dropped the anchor, stamping on the two pronged metal spike until it was buried under the snow, then made his way from the back of the sled.

The snow came up to back of Killian’s knees, cooling his lower limbs instantly and he sucked in a deep breath with the shock.  When he reached the side of the sled he offered an outstretched hand to Emma and pulled her to her feet.

“That was amazing,” Emma breathed, stepping over the edge of the sled and gasping at the sudden cold enveloping her feet.  Even through her boots her feet felt the chill of the snow compacting around them.

Killian brushed some speckles of unmelted snow from her face with his mitten covered hand and when he knew she was steady on her feet, rubbed his hands up and down her arms to try and put some warmth back into her.  He had noticed Emma’s chin begin to quiver as her teeth chattered together, so he pulled her tight against his chest.

“I knew you would like this,” Killian told her softly, squeezing her tightly and pressing his lips to the tip of her nose.

“OH!” Emma squeaked, pulling back.  “Your lips are cold!”  She laughed.

Killian raised an eyebrow.  “Well, I have been on the receiving end of the wind for twenty minutes,” he laughed with her.

“And now you get to warm up in the basket on the ride back,” Emma beamed, hooking her arms back under his and pulling him back to her.  Killian tucked her under his chin, the stubble on his jaw catching in the wool of her hat.

“I’m alright,” Killian told her as he watched the moon join the low sun in the sky behind her.  “It’s getting late.  If you want to ride on the sled on the way back, I don’t mind.”

“Oh no,” Emma pushed him back and shook her head.  “Stop.”

“What?” Killian chuckled, stepping after her as she walked backwards.

Emma halted him with her own mitten covered hand and narrowed her eyes.  “The ch...chivalry,” she shivered.  

“Chivalry?” Killian asked innocently.  

Emma waved her arm around, ignoring the pain in her muscles from the dropping temperature.  “You think you can just charm your way into having another turn as musher,” Emma smirked and stepped back again.

Killian mirrored her smirk.  “Seems you have caught me, love,” he said softly.

Emma smiled just before she fell backwards, having tripped on an unseen root beneath the snow.  Killian was unable to grab her in time and Emma landed in the deepest pile of snow he had ever seen with a muffled oomph.  He couldn’t help but laugh at the sounds she made as she struggled to free herself from the packed snow.

“Killian!” Emma squealed at him as he laughed, clutching his middle from the spasming pain radiating out from his diaphragm.  “Killian Jones, help me!”  She groaned in frustration, grabbing his hand tightly.

“Alright, alright,” he clutched her hand, before stepping backwards pulling her free of the snow cavern, brushing a dusting of it from her as she stood in front of him.  “Are you okay, love?”

“I’m fine,” Emma huffed.

“Are you sure?” Killian dipped his head so that he could catch her gaze, brushing hair from her forehead and pulling her hat back down over her ears when her body betrayed her words and began trembling with shivers once more. Emma looked up into his eyes, the twinkle in them outshining any star in the sky.  He loved her more than he could say; unconditionally, with honesty, and absolute certainty that she loved him back just as much.

“I’m fine,” Emma repeated, narrowing her eyes.  “And I’ll be just fine mushing these dogs back to town,” she glared at him, unable to contain her twitch of a smile.

“Oh,” Killian smiled when she had worked out his plan, well, part of it.  Killian had wanted to tuck her back into the sled basket and begin their journey back to the cabin, stopping half way as the moon rose in the sky to replace the sun.  It was then that he planned to drop to one knee, show her the ring he had been hoarding for so long, and ask her to marry him.  But if she figured he just wanted a second turn, he would let her think that to keep his secret.

“You forget, Jones, I know you better than anyone else,” Emma chided, stomping back to the waiting sled.  The dogs sensed the return of their musher, jumping at the end of their ropes, barking and squeaking at each other in anticipation.

Killian watched her with a swell of love in his heart, even if she had thwarted his plans to propose once more.  It wasn’t Emma’s fault, and she wasn’t even aware of what he was doing, but with the holiday already half way done, he was running out of time.

“Aye, love,” Killian smirked, smacking his hands together and rubbing them together furiously.  “You do.”

The fourth day had been one they decided to spend in the cabin.  After all, what good was a holiday if there was no resting involved?  Killian woke before Emma, as usual, padding barefoot to the kitchen to brew some coffee.  He knew Emma well enough to know that she wouldn’t even get out of bed without the aroma of roasted coffee filling her nostrils.

Once the kettle was filled and set atop the gas fuelled hob, the blue flame licking at the underside of the cast iron pot, Killian moved to the lounge.  He knelt down in front of the open fireplace and used one of the nearby tools to poke around at the ash that had been left from the night before.  Killian scooped it carefully into the provided ash bucket before restocking the cavity with dried logs.  Killian tutted to himself.  There were only two logs left which meant he would have to go outside and chop more, as per the owner’s instructions.

With a grunt he pushed himself to his feet, heading back to the bedroom to grab some clothes.  Peeking around the doorframe, Killian noticed Emma was still asleep, so he made sure not to make a sound as he got dressed.  The kettle began to whistle from the kitchen and with wide eyes, he almost ran from the bedroom to stop the shrill sound before it woke Emma.  Killian wrenched the knob that turned the gas off and the kettle stopped its whistle, the sound dying off and just silent steam pouring from the spout.

Shooting a glance over his shoulder, Killian froze, waiting for any indication that Emma was awake.  When he was met with silence, he moved to the couch and fell into the seat, leaning forward to pull his heavy snow boots from under the coffee table where they had been drying by the fire from the day before.  Killian pulled them on one at a time, rising to his feet and heading for the door.

Emma was pulled from the pleasantness of slumber by a dull, rhythmic thumping.  It echoed in her head, in sync with the heartbeat in her ears, and she focused on the thumping, to drown out the sound of silence.  Was she still dreaming?  Was there a woodpecker tapping on the inside of her brain?  With a foggy haze clouding her cognitive ability, Emma could only groan as she rolled over to find Killian’s side the of the bed cold and empty.

Emma peeled an eye open, pressing her face into the cool edge of the pillow with a frown.  The noise continued, and as she rubbed at her eyes, it grew louder.  The silence outside was broken by a thud and a splitting noise time and time again, and finally, Emma could take no more.  She simply had to find out what was going on and where the noise was coming from.  

Throwing back the huge, thick comforter, Emma was instantly hit with the chill of the room.  The room was cold, the usually comfortable warmth in the air missing and as soon as her feet touched the floor, Ema shivered.  Why was it so cold?  Where was Killian?  Meanwhile, the thumping continued, so Emma pushed herself to her feet and followed the sound, grabbing her jacket and throwing her arms into the sleeves along the way.

“Killian?” She called, peering around the wall that lead to the kitchen area.  He wasn’t there, but the noise was louder.  Emma noticed Killian’s snow boots were missing and that the fire was out.  That would explain why it was so cold in the cabin, and with a smirk, Emma realised what the repetitive thudding actually was and immediately headed towards the back door.

Emma wrapped her arms around herself, the jacket she was wearing rustling.  She was still in her pajamas bottoms so her jacket looked oversized, but it was keeping her warm as she approached the balcony.  What she saw warmed her instantly, setting the love in her heart afire and making her lips twitch sideways into a smile.

Killian was chopping wood, repeatedly lifting half logs onto an old tree stump and swinging a razor sharp axe until the logs split in two.  He was sweating, tiny beads littering his brow that glistened in the morning sunlight.  Tiny wisps of evaporating hotness wafted up from his hair and neck, his coat long since discarded under the heat of his exertions.  He took a breather, straightening up with a wince and exhaling a long, visible breath.

“Can’t you chop that wood faster?” Emma teased, leaning her elbows on the snow covered railing.  “It’s freezing in here.”

Killian whipped his head toward her voice, a smile erupting on his face.  He let the axe slip between his fingers until the head hit the ground beside his boot and leaned against it with a cocky grin.  “Aye? I hadn’t noticed,” Killian winked, kicking a tuft of snow in front of his foot.

Emma raised an eyebrow and felt a shiver run up her spine.  “It’s cold out here too,” she said softly, her teeth chattering.  “Come back inside.”

Killian lifted the axe again, swinging it hard until the head hit the tree stump.  He quickly gathered some of his split logs, bundling them into his arms and heading back towards the cabin.  Emma smirked as he approached, leaning over the handrail a little more with a pout, eagerly awaiting his lips on hers.

Killian walked right up to the balcony, pressed his lips to Emma’s and hummed contently against her lips.  Emma’s hands were cold on his cheeks and he gasped when she slid her chilled fingertips to the back of his hot neck, relishing the way she giggled when he made a very unmanly yelp.  “You only want my body warmth, love,” Killian smirked, his eyebrow jumping up on his face.

“Oh, you got me,” Emma rolled her eyes.

“Come on sweet,” Killian nudged his head sideways and reluctantly pulled his head from her grasp.  “Let’s get you warm.”

Once Killian had successfully stoked the fire with Emma sitting on the nearby couch in her pajamas, he pushed himself to his feet and turned to face her.  He offered her a warming smile and moved to join her, his heavy woollen socks moving silently across the floor.  Killian dropped into the seat next to her and when he lifted his arm, Emma instinctively pressed herself to him.  Killian rubbed a hand up and down her arm, pulling her tighter to him and turning his head to kiss to top of her head.

“There, that’s better,” he mumbled into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent.

“Mmmm,” Emma hummed contently, clutching harder at Killian’s sweater.

“Miss me, love?” He smiled down at her.

“Always,” Emma whispered into the fabric of his sweater.

The tightness in Killian’s chest became more apparent and he felt the prickle of nervous heat flush over his body.  He stared into the fire, watching the flames flicker and the wood pop and char.  Emma’s one word admission was like a trigger, setting Killian’s heart fluttering in his chest and suddenly reminding him that he had a very important question to ask.

“Are you okay?” Emma asked, shaking him from his daydream when she got no response.

“Aye, love,” Killian said nervously, pulling himself from her grasp.  “I’ll be right back.  I just need to use the little boy’s room,” he smiled at her, pressing his lips to her cheek for a quick kiss.  Emma looked confused for a second, but Killian assured her he would be right back, and that it was simply the cold weather bringing on the call of nature.

As soon as Killian was in the bedroom, he scrambled around in the top drawer of the bureau where he had left the ring box, grabbed it and rushed into the en suite bathroom.  Was he having a panic attack?  His breath caught in his throat and Killian clutched at his chest, flattening his palm over his heart that was thundering in his ribcage.  He gripped at the edge of the sink, his hands shaking as he stared at the box in front of him.  Taunting him.

Why was this so hard?  Killian had been in possession of the ring for so many months he was almost annoyed with himself for buying it in the first place.  Emma was not a material person.  She wouldn’t care if he had a ring or not, and all he cared about was that she was happy.  Was she happy?  Emma seemed happy, so would giving her a ring change anything?  

Killian lifted his head and stared at the reflection facing him.  “Come on, Jones,” he growled at himself.  “You can do this.  She will say yes.  Stop being such a bloody coward.”  He took a deep breath, nodding to his reflection and swiped the ring box off of the vanity.

The only sound Killian heard when he re-entered the room was the crackling of the fire.  He was gripped with fear when he couldn’t see Emma anywhere. He rushed to the couch and felt relief wash over him when he saw her blonde locks poking out from underneath the blanket that covered her.  Killian relaxed instantly, moving around to the front of the couch and kneeling down in front of Emma’s sleeping form.

She had fallen asleep, maybe from delayed jet lag, but considering they only had a few days left of their holiday, Killian decided to let her sleep.  Tomorrow they would go skiing, and when they were back at the cabin once more, Killian was sure he would find his opportunity to propose.  The perfect moment would arise, he was sure of it, but for now he would let Emma sleep.  Emma whimpered in her sleep, before sighing deeply.  The blanket had slipped from her shoulders and a few wayward strands of her hair fell over her face.

“Maybe next time,” Killian whispered so softly his voice was barely audible as he pushed Emma’s hair from her face.  He reached out and tucked the blanket back under her chin, running the back of his knuckles over the apple of her cheek and mirroring her smile when Emma’s lips twitched.

The fifth and final day of their holiday was filled with skiing, and lots of it.  Killian had never been so exhausted in all of his life, never realising how much of a tremendous effort it actually took to stay upright on skis.  They had attended a short instruction seminar earlier, but then they were free to roam the slopes as much as they liked.  And Emma liked.  A lot.

“Are you not tired, love?” Killian huffed, digging his ski poles into the snow on either side of his bright red skis.

“No!” Emma squeaked excitedly, pushing off the the snow in front of him and heading back up the incline of the hill.  “This is so much fun!”

They had found a quiet, out of the way slope and were enjoying having it all to themselves.  Emma, the more confident skier, effortlessly sailing down the white covering time and time again whilst Killian, the more cautious, took his time walking sideways and checking the density of the snow underfoot.  Emma had laughed at him, throwing her head back and giving him the open mouth smile that caused familiar palpitations in his chest.

There was something about Emma Swan that made Killian Jones want to hold onto her forever.  He was sure it was more than love, even greater than true love, but as he had never felt it before, he was both amazed and petrified by how she could make him feel.  There were so many little things that culminated into one giant burning ball of endearment that was sometimes so overwhelming, Killian simply froze.  Like now, as Emma glided over the alpine snow towards him, skidding to a stop in slow motion right before him, the sun radiating around her form like an Angel sent to guide him.

Killian was so lost in his awe of Emma that he almost missed the polarized flash of another skier as he came hurtling down the slope towards them.  The other skier was clearly inexperienced, losing his footing and almost tripping over his own skis.  He called out, digging his ski poles into the snow behind him but it was to no avail.

“Emma, watch out!” Killian screamed, pushing Emma aside and taking the full impact of the wayward skier.  The man, clad in an all white tracksuit which was ridiculous for skiing, tumbled into Killian with such a force that both men were sent hurtling further down the slope and into a safety barrier at the bottom of the hill.

“Killian!” Emma cried, sliding after them in a slow side to side descent.  Her heart pounded in her chest and the chill in the cheeks prickling with heat and panic.

Killian was in a heap, knocked out completely by the impact.  Before Emma had even got to his side, resort paramedics were by his side, taking off his one remaining ski and assessing him for injuries.  Miraculously he was mostly unhurt, the soft snow having absorbed most of the impact from the collision, but they would take him to the nearest hospital anyway.

“He is not sedated but we gave him something strong for the pain…”

“He has a lot of bruising…”

“He is a lucky man…”

The voices in Killian’s head were, as it turned out, not fake as he had first suspected.  He was just coming around from the accident, and the pounding in his temple was proof of that.  The glow of light from the room cast a dull red over the inside of his eyelids and he could feel warm fingertips on the side of his face, easing the tension in his muscles.

“Swan?” He croaked, not opening his eyes but moving his eyeballs around under his eyelids frantically.

“I’m right here,” Emma soothed and Killian felt her clutch at his hand.

“Are you alright?” He rasped, coughing a little and wincing from the pain that shot through his chest.  He finally peeled an eye open and saw Emma sitting beside his bed.  He didn’t know how he had arrived in said bed, or this room, but he recognised it unmistakably as a hospital.

Emma let out a small relieved laugh, expelling all of the pent up emotions she had been fighting to hold back.  She surged forward, planting her lips on his so hard he thought she might knock his teeth out.  Killian fought the scorching pain in his muscles as lifted his own arm, cupping Emma’s cheek and smoothing his thumb over the swell of her cheek.  Emma’s lips trembled against his, as her hot, fat tears soaked both of them.

“Are you alright?” Killian repeated when Emma finally pulled her lips from his and rested her forehead on his.

“Killian…” she sobbed.  Chastising him with one single word, his name, that told him so much all at once.  Emma rolled her forehead against his, letting the panic she had been feeling escape in the form of more tears.

“I’m alright,” Killian smiled weakly, brushing her tears away with the back of his knuckles.

“They said you could have been seriously hurt,” Emma choked out between sobs.

“But I was not,” Killian told her softly.

“Even the thought of losing you made me feel so cold and empty,” Emma continued, her sobs catching in her throat.

Killian cupped her face in both of his hands until she was forced to look him in the eyes.  The bright green hue of Emma’s eyes was watered down with the salt of her tears, dulled by her shock and fear.  It had never been like Emma to open up so freely, even in the face of losing somebody that she loved, and Killian loved her even more for it.

“I’m not going anywhere, love,” He smiled at her with a raised eyebrow.  “Do you really think you can get rid of me that easily?”

Emma laughed at his teasing, pulling from his grasp to grab a tissue from the table beside the bed.  As she did, she spotted Killian’s belonging that had been placed inside a clear, plastic ziplock bag when they had removed most of his clothing.  Emma spied a small, square box and stopped breathing.

“Yes,” She breathed quickly, looking back to Killian with wide eyes and a tear stained face.  

“Oh, well, in that case…” Killian frowned.

“No, Killian,” Emma shook her head and grabbed the bag.  She set it down on the bed and when Killian realised what she was looking at, and what “yes” meant, he paled.  Emma fished in the bag and pulled out the box, holding it between them with a gasp.  “I mean, Yes,” Emma nodded.

“Oh,” He breathed, the word nothing more than a sound on his breath.  “About that…”  Killian rubbed the back of his neck nervously, letting his finger linger behind his earlobe.

“This is what I think it is, right?” Emma gulped, lifting her gaze briefly before opening the box and looking down at the ring inside.  Killian had decided on a plain white gold band with a white diamond set on top, and when Emma saw it she snapped the box closed nervously.

“Well, yes,” Killian admitted.  “But I have been trying for months to find the right time to… you know, ask you properly.”

Emma watched Killian fidget like a scolded child that had been caught doing something he shouldn’t have been.  “Months?” Emma sounded hurt.

Killian watched the spark fade from Emma’s eyes once more and he swallowed the dry lump in his throat.  “I just wanted it to be perfect,” he sighed, looking down at his lap as his top teeth  fiddled nervously with a patch of beard hair below his bottom lip.  When he looked back up to Emma, he was surprised to see she had dropped to the floor and pulled the box open once more, only now it was facing him and the glow in her emerald eyes was back.  “Emma, what are you…”

“Killian Jones, will you marry me?”

The slacked jawed expression he gave her seemed to only spur her on to continue.

“Killian Jones, you are many things.  I have never met such a handsome, talented, caring individual in all my life.  Everybody loves you.  Everyone thinks we are one of those couples that can never remember their anniversary because they simply feel like they have been together forever, so a little date is irrelevant…”

“It’s September 19th…” Killian smirked.

“Shut up,” Emma glared, trying to hide her grin.  “The truth is, we, well some of us, are just not bogged down with the unimportant things in our lives.  What is important is having somebody in your corner, someone to help you find your way…”

Killian reached out and clutched Emma’s hand when her tears began to flow once more.  Emma quickly turned her head and wiped the tears on her shoulder, the tiny box shaking when her hands began quivering.  “You are my person, Killian.  There is no right time for something like this, you just have to know when the universe is perfectly aligned for two stars to collide forever.  You are the light in my darkness, the… the…” Emma faltered.

“The peas to your carrots, love,” Killian smiled and Emma laughed.

“Stop ruining my proposal with your Britishness,” she feigned annoyance until he apologised with a bow of his head.  “What I am trying to say…”

“Yes,” Killian interrupted her quickly, squeezing her hand.  “Emma Swan, I will bloody well marry you.”

Emma launched herself into Killian’s arms, mindful of his bruises as she peppered kisses all over his face.  Killian took the box from her hand and pulled the ring free from its foam security, aligning the white gold circle with Emma’s finger and slipping it on.  When it fit, mostly intuition on his part, Killian had never felt more connected with anyone in his entire life.

“This was not how I had this planned,” he told her softly, pressing his lips to hers once more.  

“You can’t plan for perfection,” Emma beamed, stroking her fingers through his scruff.

“Aye, love,” Killian agreed, pulling her into his arms.  “That you cannot.”

The List

How to get Meghan Markle's flawless beauty look

Long before Meghan Markle was revealed to be Prince Harry's girlfriend (and became the most-Googled actress of 2016!), people have been wondering what the actress, humanitarian, and now soon-to-be royal does to look as gorgeous as she does. Luckily she's open to speaking with the press about her beauty routine, so we did some digging to see what helps her stay gorgeous, youthful, and polished. We were happy to learn that many elements of her beauty routine are both relatable and within reach!

Follow her number-one rule of thumb with makeup

One of Markle's key tactics is to ensure her makeup routine isn't too fussy or time-consuming. In a 2014 interview with Allure, Markle explained that she prefers to keep things uncomplicated when it comes to her makeup. "My routine is very simple," she said. "I call it the five-minute face. It's just Touche Éclat [concealer], curled lashes, mascara, Chap Stick, and a little bit of blush. That's my favorite kind of look." As for her blush, she relies on Nars Orgasm both on camera and in real life since "it gives you a nice glow from within."

Min Min Ma, celebrity makeup artist who did Markle's makeup for her July 2016 appearance on The Today Show, followed the same rule of thumb. As Ma explained to E! News, she decided to keep the makeup light in addition to just a touch of concealer under her eyes. She also noted that she minimized her use of powder to help ensure that Markle's skin looked fresh and glowy.

Markle's former hair and makeup stylist, Lydia Sellers, echoed those sentiments when speaking with Refinery29, saying, "It was more about the amount of product that went on her skin and keeping it really fresh and dewy, rather than caking it on."

When it comes to her cosmetics regimen, less really is more!

Hydrate and use a dab of shimmer

Another crucial part of Markle's beauty routine is to load up on liquids. "Drink lots of water, as we all know," she told Beauty Banter in November 2017. However, she noted that in addition to the more obvious beauty factors like hydration, she "also learned to add the smallest touch of shimmer to the inner corner of the eye after they're lined."

This trick, which is part of a broader trend known as strobing, brightens up the eye and helps to balance out any dark eyeliner, eyeshadow, or lashes sporting a heavy layer of mascara, according to Glamour.

Speaking to Refinery29, makeup artist Elisa Flowers explained, "Adding a shimmery highlight to the inner corners of your eyes creates a bright, open, and youthful appearance," and that this trick both reflects light and can help you look less fatigued.

Markle told Beauty Banter that her go-to product for some eye shimmer is Chanel's Cassis Eyeliner, and added, "Even if I have no makeup on, I am likely to apply concealer and a bit of shimmer to the corners of my eye." YouTube strobing tutorials, we're coming for you.

Use this Sephora product as a secret weapon

On the topic of fatigue-fighting makeup techniques, when Markle spoke with the good folks at Birchbox in 2014, she revealed her go-to secret weapon for looking like she got a ton of rest the night before: Yves St. Laurent's Touche Eclat highlighter.

"To open up your eyes, apply a highlighter like Touche Éclat to the inner corner — this trick is especially good for when we're filming at 3 a.m. and I need to look bright eyed and bushy tailed," she said. And, adding to its appeal, Yves St. Laurent's Touche Éclat is available at Sephora, Nordstrom, and other places where non-royals shop. Hip hip, hooray!

An unconventional trick for a sculpted look

In the same Birchbox interview, Markle noted that she relies on facial exercises and massages to maintain her sculpted visage. The facial exercises, which come recommended by London-based esthetician and facialist Nichola Joss, basically "sculpt your face from the inside out," Markle explained. "I swear it works, as silly as you may feel. On the days I do it, my cheekbones and jawline are waaaay more sculpted."

The exercises are part of a facial treatment that Joss offers at her popup shops in London and New York, and they involve deep lymphatic massage from inside the mouth. According to the website, this massage is designed to improve the firmness and tone of the facial muscles by de-stressing the tissue, reportedly adding both youth and vitality to the skin.

As Joss explained to People, the massages not only make the skin more youthful, but also healthier. "It makes it softer but stronger, and obviously working from the inside of the mouth really addresses the core element of the muscle," she explained.

The treatment is $350 per session, as People notes, but Markle and other fresh-faced celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Kate Moss, and Gwyneth Paltrow are huge fans. It may be unconventional, but it clearly works!

Pick up three of her must-have products at the drugstore

Happily, despite being a global celebrity and a soon-to-be duchess, some of Markle's favorite products can be found in your neighborhood CVS. As she told Beauty Banter, her must-have beauty products include things like Bioré Cleansing Cloths, Nivea Skin Firming Hydration Body Lotion, and Dr. Bronner's Body Wash.

The Bioré cleansing cloths, she explained, are "great to keep in the car and on your nightstand" — the perfect remedy for when the idea of washing your face is just too much. (Celebrities: they're just like us!)

Meanwhile, Markle uses her Nivea body lotion "religiously," noting that it's her all-time favorite body lotion due to its reasonable price point and incredible results. "I would buy a case of this at a time if I could find it," she said.

As for Dr. Bronner's body wash, Markle joins the millions of people who are opting for natural skincare. She told Beauty Banter that she buys the lavender and almond scents, and she tends to alternate between the two.

Emulate this beauty icon with your brows

Ever wonder how Markle keeps her brows looking so impeccable? Enter her brow stylist, Sherrille Riley of the London-based Nails and Brows salon. According to People, Riley has been the go-to gal for Markle's brows since the summer of 2016, when another member of the royal family recommended the salon.

In January, Riley told People that Markle gets The Audrey Brow treatment, which models her brows after classic style icon Audrey Hepburn. Described by the salon as "suitable for women of all ages and face shapes," The Audrey involves shaping the brow into a straight look without a pronounced arch, and which tapers out as it approaches the temple. According to the salon, the process lifts the face and leads to an appearance that is youthful and fresh.

Riley told People that the treatment entails shaping and tinting, and that she uses a tint that mixes "brown with a hint of black, which gives a really soft neutral look." It isn't meant to dramatically change appearance, instead Riley explained, "It's just about accentuating her features in the most natural way." So, Audrey Hepburn aficionados: the era of the Audrey brow has arrived.

Love the skin you're in

Both as a mixed-race woman and as someone with freckles, Markle has encountered significant pressure to change her appearance. In a 2017 interview with Allure, she explained that although her family always ensured that she felt confident about her looks, "It was only outside the comforts of home that the world began to challenge those ideals."

After taking an African-American studies class during college, she learned that colorism was why she felt "too light in the black community, too mixed in the white community." Her freckles made the matter even harder to navigate, and they, too, have been subject to much discussion.

As she explained to Allure, "To this day, my pet peeve is when my skin tone is changed and my freckles are airbrushed out of a photo shoot." She embraces her freckles and encourages others to as well. "For all my freckle-faced friends out there," she said, "I will share with you something my dad told me when I was younger: 'A face without freckles is a night without stars.'"

In order to let her natural beauty — including her freckles — shine, she told Birchbox that she only uses foundation in the spots where she really needs it. "I never want to cover my freckles, so we just do a 'wash' of foundation in certain sections instead of over the entire face," she explained.

Do this for soft, touchable hair

Markle's amazing complexion and facial structure are enviable enough on their own — and, as it turns out, so is her hair. In every picture, her hair looks amazing: healthy, shiny, and soft. "I put deep conditioner in my hair more than you could imagine," she told Gritty Pretty in 2015. "I never let hairdressers tease it for volume — it's not good for it," she added.

You may be wondering what makes deep conditioners different from their regular counterparts. James Corbett, celebrity hairstylist of James Corbett Studio in New York City and color director for Clairol, spoke to The Today Show and explained that because deep conditioning hair masks have more lipids and fatty acids in them, they actually help protect hair by returning lost moisture.

Corbett noted, "When the hair is healthy, the cuticle stays closed, which means less frizz and your color looks better because light reflects off your hair. Masks can help repair what styling and the environment takes out."

So, if deep conditioning masks are Markle's go-to hair product, what kinds does she use? "There are two lines I use religiously," she told Beauty Banter. "Kerastase (masquintense and the oleo relax line) and Wella, which has a hair oil I'm obsessed with. It smells like vacation and makes your hair slippery and touchable." Now that's an endorsement!

Choose these colors for your next mani/pedi

In addition to getting her Audrey brows, Nails and Brows salon owner Sherrille Riley told People that the royal bride-to-be also regularly gets her nails done there. She prefers the natural nail treatment over gel or shellack manicures, and often picks neutral colors for her polish. "She tends to go for quite natural colors as she's quite a natural, understated person," Riley said.

Additionally, Riley noted that Markel typically matches her manicure to her pedicure and chooses "lots of creams and very pale pinks." In one recent visit, Markle chose a pale pink nail polish by Kure Bazaar — a brand known for being free of toxins — in a color called Rose Milk.

So, if you want your look to follow Markle's playbook, stick with neutral, natural shades and stay away from bright, bold manicures.

What is Google Cardboard and how do I use it?

VR and Google Cardboard:

Google Cardboard is an affordable immersive image viewer that can be used with compatible smartphone applications, such as YouTube and Google Art and Culture, to explore VR environments. Google Cardboard is a low-key VR cardboard headset which immerses you in video or still images--you can see a 360-degree view of an image or video. This affordable Virtual Reality experience--basic in appearance and environmentally ethical--it makes for a solid inexpensive option for those who are experimenting for the first time with VR. 

Alternatively, students can download the Google Cardboard template. All the student needs is construction cardboard and the downloadable Google Cardboard template as a guide--the students can build the VR headset themselves. Indeed, the purchasing of the equipment for the class is well within the budget of most schools, so it could be handled by the teacher or teachers aide, in much the same that traditional art materials are sourced and organised for class. 

Apps to download for Google Cardboard: All Apps are Compatible with Android and iOS

Fic Writers Week 2017 - Day 2

Day 2: The Muses - Fan art? Edits? Playlists? Draw some inspiration from the fics you love and share some new content with the fandom!

I wish I could draw, because @ciphernetics and her fic “You Have Someone That Loves You” deserves all the best fanworks, but . . . 

I always did wonder how that first date must’ve gone.

David really wished his leg would stop bouncing.

It was rattling the table, rattling the dishes on the table -- rattling his last nerve, in fact. And if Lisa arrived (when Lisa arrived, he reminded himself sternly), she’d probably be annoyed if he accidentally kicked their small unsteady wooden table and spilled her dinner all over her . . .

Maybe his friends had been right, and he should’ve gotten himself a drink.

“David?”

His head jerked up, an automatic smile on his lips despite the knots his stomach was trying to tie itself into. He opened his mouth to greet her and -- “Oh.”

She didn’t look exactly like her pictures; the one taken on a hike had given her face and hair an artificial golden glow, not this cream dotted with roses skin and hair that fell -- not in a ponytail, not up like most of her Tinder pics but down to her shoulders and straight as a pin -- in a sheet of platinum, so fine he thought he might not even feel the individual strands if he fingered it. Her eyes were darker too, though maybe that was just the stark contrast of navy against features so pale. (Her eyelashes were brown and her brows were drawn in swooping arches, he could tell because Gwen had once gone on a Youtube makeup tutorial binge and dragged him along with her, but he suspected that without the makeup they might be almost invisible.)

Lisa frowned, her lips -- pink, pale pale pink like pearls his mom owned, and why was he thinking of that now? -- drawing together and down in a worried pout. “It is David, right?” She laughed nervously, tucking a strand of icy blond hair behind her ear. “You just look so much like your pictures, I figured it had to be you . . .”

Pick your jaw off the floor, Greenwood. David shook his head quickly, heeding the no-nonsense female voice that was half Gwen and half his mother. “Sorry, sorry! I just . . . wow.” Good job, genius. He swallowed and forced his leg still. “Wowzers, you’re pretty.”

And she was. So, so much prettier than he’d ever imagined would want to go out with him. Mr. Campbell was, well, Mr. Campbell, but he could believe that happened because . . . well, the evidence was pretty undeniable, but there was history there. It made sense in an odd, nebulous way. But pretty girls with good fashion and soft hair were supposed to roll their eyes at him, see him as a brother -- like Gwen. He was used to pretty girls’ eyes skimming over him and he was comfortable with it; more comfortable, oddly, than this shy smiling, foot shuffling, lip biting he was now faced with and didn’t know how to handle.

But heck, David was always one for new experiences! “It’s so nice to meet you in person!” he said, jumping to his feet and shaking her hand.

“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long --”

“Not at all! I like watching the fountain.” And that led seamlessly into talking about how the fountain was shaped like the falls off of Sleepy Peak Peak, and their shared love of hiking (the reason he’d swiped right, after all!), which naturally turned the conversation toward his favorite subject, Camp Campbell.

And maybe he was being a little too hopeful, but he got the sense that, watching her cock her head to the side so that her hair flowed from one shoulder to the other, that she might actually be interested in what he had to say.

Maybe he was being a little too hopeful, but it sure seemed like she might actually like him.

He hadn’t been too hopeful.

Lisa had laughed at his story about the Quartermaster and Space Kid’s helmet, had nodded with a soft cluck of pity when he told her what’d happened to poor Larry, had asked questions about Platypus and the campers and Gwen -- especially Gwen, in fact, and he realized with a pang of sympathy that the opportunities to make female friends in Sleepy Peak had to be pretty rare -- had smiled and touched his hand and when they’d settled the bill and were waiting outside the restaurant, she had bumped her shoulder against his and asked if he wanted to come back to her home for coffee.

David knew he had a tendency to be overly optimistic, but he couldn’t shake the idea that this date was going well, better than any other he’d been on.

The strongest evidence, of course, was the heavy weight of her legs thrown over his lap, one arm hooked around his neck and the other clutching at the front of his shirt, and the gentle damp heat over her mouth along his jaw.

It was hard to argue with something like that, he felt.

So it was real: Lisa liked him. 

Liked him enough to pick at the knot of his bandanna and suck at the base of his throat until he had trouble keeping his eyes open and his breathing even. He hadn’t been sure what to do with his hands, but had figured settling them on her narrow waist had been a good bet. At some point in the last ten minutes they’d slid down a bit, his thumbs brushing the bony ridge of her hipbones, but she didn’t seem to mind so he tightened his grip just slightly, soaking up her impossible heat through the thin fabric of her shirt and trying to squash a wave of knee-quaking terror.

You’ve done this before, his common-sense voice reminded him. You did all this with Mr. Campbell. But this wasn’t Mr. Campbell, was the problem -- well, not a problem, not a problem at all, but her hands were smaller and more delicate and her breath smelled like coffee and strawberry lip gloss instead of gunsmoke and sweat, her breathing was higher-pitched and she was less certain, more quivery under his hands and tentative with her own. Mr. Campbell hadn’t pulled away from his neck and kissed up to his ear to whisper, “You wanna go back to my room?” with a low laugh that David had already learned was a sign of nervousness.

Everything about this was brand-new territory, and it was something he very very much wanted to keep exploring but he didn’t know the rules and the last thing he wanted was for her to think he was a creep or a filthy pervert or -- “Hhhhwhat?”

Lisa giggled again, a little louder and less self-conscious. “I mean, you’re really cute and, I dunno, I like you a lot . . .”

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Despite the fact that there was a very significant part of him that would really like to go back to her room, David sighed and let go of her waist. “It’s not that I don’t, um, want to --”

“Too soon?” she interrupted, and there was something sweet and pleading in her eyes.

“Yeah, a bit,” he said. But she seemed to want more, and the last thing he wanted was for her to think he wasn’t . . . well . . . interested. So although it was embarrassing he dropped his head and mumbled, “I’ve never . . . uh. Done that. Before.”

“Oh.” There was a moment of surprised silence. “Oh.”

David would’ve given anything in the world to know what that “oh” meant, but he was afraid to ask so he smoothed his palms down his thighs, fighting the urge to bounce his leg again and desperately hoping he hadn’t ruined his first ever successful date.

Gwen would be so disappointed.

“That’s okay, Davey.” The next thing he knew Lisa’s hands were on either side of his face, cradling his head gently as her forehead tapped against his. “I don’t mind waiting. I . . . I hope this isn’t too soon, but I think you’re worth it.”

“Thanks,” he muttered, blinking rapidly enough that he hoped she wouldn’t notice if he’d welled up a little bit. “That makes me really happy.”

“Me too.” One hand slid down to his chin, drawing a line of warm tingles along his jaw, and she tilted his face to kiss her. “But I was sorta wondering . . . would it be okay if I gave you a hickey? I don’t have to,” she added quickly, pulling away and tucking her hair behind her ear -- only for it to immediately fall forward again. “I just . . . I thought maybe it’d be hot if I, like, marked you?” Her eyes darted up to meet his, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. “So you don’t forget me before our next date?”

Like he could.

(But, well, he didn’t mind getting the reminder.)

Seven Doubts About Wells Fargo Prepaid Debit Card You Should Clarify | wells fargo prepaid debit card

When Andrew Vahrenkamp was attractive for a prepaid debit agenda for his 10- and 13-year-old accouchement to authority their allowance dollars, he couldn’t acquisition what he was attractive for at acceptable banks. He concluded up allotment a prepaid debit agenda from assignment app BusyKid, which he admired for its interface that accustomed his kids to analysis off their chores, the acceptable way money could get from his blockage anniversary to their cards, a low anniversary fee and accommodating and advance components.

Wells Fargo Prepaid Card | Million Mile Secrets – wells fargo prepaid debit card | wells fargo prepaid debit card

“The canicule of adolescence activity to the capital and affairs being with banknote are gone,” said Vahrenkamp, chief analysis analyst at Raddon, a analysis and analytics company. “They accept buying of this agenda and it helps them apprentice banking habits.”

BusyKid, with 250,000 users, is one of a growing crop of fintechs with cards and apps accurately advised for Gen Z. Unlike with some accomplished attempts at this aforementioned concept, these newcomers are accepting traction: One, Greenlight, has about 2 actor customers. Another, gohenry, has 1 million.

A attending at what these fintechs are alms gives a glimpse of the kinds of articles adolescent barter are activity for (Generation Z about refers to kids built-in in 1996 or later). Their strategies additionally action clues as to what banks are missing back they ambition adolescent customers, who can age with a acceptable academy in a way they may not be able to with a added alcove service.

Many acceptable banks action apprentice or boyhood blockage accounts and kids’ accumulation accounts.

Apps and accounts such as Greenlight, gohenry, Step and an accessible Junior anniversary for U.S. barter from the amateur coffer Revolut action kids, tweens and adolescence such appearance as debit cards they can personalize (and their parents can oversee), fast money transfers, ambition tracking and more.

“There is a absolute confounding about how teenagers and preteens allegation to boutique and absorb that some of these fintechs are seeing and banks aren’t,” said Vahrenkamp. “At the moment we see about no Gen Z absorption in calling a tech aggregation their primary banking institution. But the accident they could is appealing high.”

At a December conference, Julia Carreon, the managing administrator of agenda and fiduciary operations at Wells Fargo Wealth Management, put it starkly. “Over the abutting 10 years, the better about-face of ancestors in arduous numbers will action in our lifetime,” she said. “The bashful bearing will die. Boomers will avenue the workforce. The abundant infantilized, forever-frozen-in-time millennials will about-face 40, and we will attestant the dispatch of Gen Z.”

Vahrenkamp and Karen Kislin, cardinal adviser at Raddon, annual a cardinal of things that Bearing Z wants from banks, based on surveys they’ve done: simplified anniversary offerings (perhaps a blockage anniversary that encourages acceptable accumulation habits, such as the one offered by SoFi); low and cellophane fees; a able-bodied adaptable app; and chump annual that will readily break their problems — because it’s easier than anytime to about-face banks if one is unhappy.

The accent of able accumulation accoutrement is echoed in observations by Carreon.

Wells Fargo Cash Wise Visa® Card Review • 115 | wells fargo prepaid debit card

“Seeing their parents lose their jobs, watching earlier millennial ancestors move home and the dispatch in college apprenticeship allegation and apprentice debt has resulted in Bearing Z accepting a added bourgeois appearance of finances,” she said in a May webcast. “They’re alike added bourgeois and afraid than millennials were.”

One added ambiguous affection is banking apprenticeship through video tutorials. In an accessible study, Raddon begin that back allurement whether consumers would accompany added business to a banking academy that offered banking literacy, 63% of Gen Z respondents said yes, compared to 42% of the accepted population.

“My admired admonition to accord banking institutions is to acquisition their best Gen Z-looking employee, and they are now their banking articulacy agent for abbreviate video clips they will be announcement on YouTube and Instagram,” said Kislin.

Few, if any, institutions are demography her up on this tactic.

But Greenlight, a debit agenda and app, and gohenry, a agnate annual that originated in the United Kingdom, are authoritative a advance to advance amenable habits amid adolescent barter in added ways.

Greenlight, which aloft $54 actor in Series B allotment from JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and added investors in 2019, began in 2017 as a spending anniversary and debit agenda with affectionate spending controls. It has acquired to let kids clue their accumulation goals, accord money to alms through an anchored Accord account, administer their affairs and more. Parents can pay absorption on their children’s savings, and the boilerplate amount is 18%, according to the company.

In the third quarter, Greenlight affairs to admission an advance basic area kids can analysis and buy exchange-traded funds and stocks (including apportioned shares) with their parents’ help.

There is no minimum or best age to use Greenlight, but the boilerplate age of nonparent users is 12, said Tim Sheehan, the CEO and a co-founder of Greenlight.

Although barter can acquisition abounding of these appearance elsewhere, Sheehan said that Greenlight sets itself afar by alms a holistic appearance of claimed finances. “There are assignment apps and allowance apps. You can go to a coffer and get a blockage account, and accessible an advance anniversary for kids,” he said. “Greenlight is all of those things.”

Wells fargo debit card balance – Best Cards for You – wells fargo prepaid debit card | wells fargo prepaid debit card

Young barter accept been accession added funds during the coronavirus crisis, Sheehan said. “You can see how the communicable would affect spending, because kids do a lot of in-person transactions, but the money has been activity appear savings, not aloof sitting in their spending account,” he said. He begin that kids’ boilerplate accumulation anniversary balances added by 31% during the communicable compared to above-mentioned to the pandemic.

“Wells Fargo invested in Greenlight because we accept the acceptation of allowance accouchement body advantageous banking habits aboriginal on that can advance to complete money administration abilities in the future,” Tom Richardson, arch of cardinal investments for Wells Fargo Cardinal Capital, said in an email. “The about-face to agenda money platforms is acutely accordant in our accepted environment, and we admit the accretion allegation for these solutions that accredit parents to set their kids up for banking ability and success.”

Like Greenlight, gohenry lets parents alteration allowance money assimilate its debit agenda and add tasks for their kids to complete. Parents will get notified about affairs and can set controls over area their accouchement absorb money and how abundant they spend.

The annual launched in 2012 and came to the U.S. in 2018. It counts one actor barter about the world, targeting families with kids amid the ages of 6 and 18.

Dean Brauer, co-founder and controlling carnality admiral (U.S.) of gohenry, acclaimed that Gen Z associates collaborate with money abnormally than their parents do.

“How do you advise kids to be competent with managing a annual back banknote is not allegedly casual through their hands?” Brauer said. “Gen Z ability be the aboriginal cashless generation, and with COVID we’re seeing an dispatch of a cashless society.”

Another affair gohenry has in accepted with Greenlight is a abundant focus on digitizing allowance. “Customers consistently acquaint us they appetite to get into an allowance administration because they accept that’s a big allotment of allowance kids administer a budget, but with banknote they generally balloon or don’t accept the appropriate change,” Brauer said. “When you accomplish it automatic, it builds that consistency.”

The aggregation is additionally alive on added appearance to baby to earlier adolescence for after this year, such as anniversary and acquisition numbers and peer-to-peer transfers.

Both Greenlight and gohenry allegation annual cable fees: $4.99 a ages for Greenlight (with debit cards for up to bristles kids) and $3.99 a ages per adolescent for gohenry.

Wells Fargo Business Secured Credit Card Review – wells fargo prepaid debit card | wells fargo prepaid debit card

“We didn’t appetite to be in a position area we were aggravating to advance kids to absorb for altering revenue,” Sheehan said.

Kids can additionally adapt their debit cards with a architecture or photograph — a gimmick, but a gimmick that works, according to Vahrenkamp.

“You’d be afraid at what bodies affliction about back it comes to a card,” said Vahrenkamp. From his own experience, he estimates that adherent or added cards can access transaction aggregate by 10% over antecedent affairs with accepted cards.

Features are sparser with Step, a adaptable coffer anniversary that focuses on barter ages 13 to 18 and agilely launched this year. Over bisected a actor users accept downloaded the app and active up.

The above affection that Step has formed out so far is a peer-to-peer money alteration service.

While such casework are plentiful, “none are tailored to the under-18 market,” said CJ MacDonald, CEO and architect of Step. “Venmo is great, but you still allegation an basal coffer account.”

Unlike the others, Step does not allegation annual fees. The aggregation expects to accomplish money from altering fees forth with other, yet-to-be-announced acquirement streams.

For now, none of the apps accept a close plan (and they’re not necessarily analytic for one) to authority on to barter in their 20s, 30s and beyond. But back it comes to aggressive with banks, that may not matter.

“We’re starting to see that with millennials, there is beneath and beneath of a acceptable primary banking academy and they are starting to advance out beyond a aggregation of not aloof acceptable banks, but fintechs as well,” Kislin said. “In the midterm, the absolute accident is seeing added disruption of Gen Z overextension out amidst competitors.”

 U.S. MELANIA, IVANKA AND IVANA TRUMP WEAR ONLY HIGH HEELS, A SYMBOL OF EVERYTHING THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND HORRIFYING ABOUT THEM BY NINA BURLEIGH ON 8/10/17 AT 11:58 AM The Dangers Of Wearing High Heels   U.S.IVANKA TRUMPMELANIA TRUMPFIRST LADYDONALD TRUMPSHOES There's been no rest of the wicked just a week into President Donald Trump's 17-day summer vacation, what with our late-summer flirtation with nuclear war. But the women in the Trump clan seem to have been able to kick back. Given the dearth of photographic evidence otherwise, perhaps they have finally been able to put their feet up. This hiatus allows us to reflect on a minor Trumpian trend to which the nation has become accustomed since January: the ubiquitous stiletto pump. The vertiginous spike-heel shoe is not currently in fashion, but for Ivana, Ivanka, Melania and the Trump daughters-in-law, Carrie Bradshaw’s shoe of choice never went out of style. In fact, the female consorts of the Leader of the Free World do not set foot in public without first molding their arches into the supranatural curve that Mattel toy designers once devised for Barbie’s plastic feet.   Six months in, and the Trump women are well on their way to normalizing the footwear of the beauty pageant. The Cinderella shoe fitted on the feet of all the Miss Teen USA’s and Miss Universes who ever beamed under the Trumpian gaze in contests of yore also is the shoe that average women can bear for only a few hours at weddings or proms, before casting them off, moaning and rubbing their soles. ADVERTISEMENT Daily Emails and Alerts - Get the best of Newsweek delivered to your inbox Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley, a longtime friend of Melania Trump, believes that, other than the White House Easter egg hunt on the lawn, she has not been photographed as first lady without her feet arched into one of two brands of towering high-heeled shoes that she favors, Manolo Blahniks or the 4.5-inch-heeled Oh So Kate by Christian Louboutin. (Talley says Melania picked up 22 pairs of Manolos in various colors before decamping to the White House last month.) First Lady Melania Trump boards Air Force One in a pair of stiletto heels alongside President Donald Trump on May 23, 2017.JACK GUEZ/AFP/GETTY IMAGES The stiletto is a podiatrist’s dream, or nightmare, depending on your point of view, because devoted wearers ultimately require medical attention. ”As you get older in these shoes, your feet are going to have problems,” Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley, a longtime friend of Melania Trump, says. “I am not gonna say Melania is gonna have them soon, but sooner or later she is going have to come down off that high arch.” The internet and Youtube are rife with tutorials about how to bear the pain (bandages, gel inserts, baby powder) and walk gracefully in them. Michelle Phan’s “How to Master the High Heel” tutorial has received millions of views. Her nuggets of advice include: “Your first assignment when walking in heels is to find a straight line and follow it.” and “For every step you take, you need to have a general awareness of where your heel is being placed.” Stiletto pumps demand a critical level of attention to pebbles, cobbles, sidewalk cracks, mud, grass, curbs and stairs—all while keeping head erect and shoulders back—that has sometimes eluded even the greatest public females. Remember Naomi Campbell’s famous runway spill. Or Jennifer Lawrence tripping up the steps to receive her Oscar.  So sure are they of their footing that the Trump women, rare political mountain goats, never even look down for obstacles that might break up their gait or send them sprawling. Toes pointed like ballerinas, they stroll from the tarmac to the Wailing Wall, cross the spongy White House lawn to Marine One in them, click around the halls of Congress, and ascend rickety risers at "MAGA" rallies in Youngstown. Talley admitted that the stiletto pump is “not a trending shoe” nor is it “the shoe of choice for most women." Younger women in the public eye sometimes say they have sworn off heels. Jennifer Lawrence called them “satan’s shoes,” Kristin Stewart wears Chucks with her gowns, and Miley Cyrus sings in “Party in the U.S.A:" “All I see are stilettos / I guess I never got the memo.”  Actresses and critics alike went ballistic in 2015 when the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival reportedly decreed that women could not walk the red carpet in flats. But Talley  believes the Trump women favor such shoes because they were trained young in the “rigor” of wearing them—and because they look good. “It creates a tall, statuesque, almost ideal elegance,” Talley says, but also comes with an element of risk—which, mastered, further differentiates them from the average woman. “It is a shoe that defies gravity. It is a risk-taking shoe. If you stumble, you will break your ankle. But these girls have mastered the art absolutely through rigorous discipline of daily exercise and weight loss, and when you set your foot into the toe box you have the mental knowledge that you can't make those mistakes and fall.” Besides indicating athletic superiority, the stiletto pump serves another purpose, summed up in shoe designer Louboutin’s comment: “The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women but to pleasing men.” British psychologist Paul Morris and his colleagues wrote a paper describing high heels in biological terms as “supernormal stimuli”—that is, a stimulus that works better than the original biological trait in provoking an instinctive response. Morris explained in an email to Newsweek that, for example, the orange spot on a herring gull’s beak causes a chick to peck the orange spot for food. But researchers found that a chick will respond even more eagerly to a big orange blob on a card. “In terms of the human example, we tend to find the defining characteristics of the opposite sex attractive,” Morris wrote. “High heels function in a similar way. Males respond to the characteristic way a woman walks, i.e. the movement of the female pelvis; high heels just exaggerates the femaleness of the walk. So to deconstruct why Trump women wear high heels: they are just buying into traditional binary views of male and female.” American anthropologist and author Helen Fisher, puts it more bluntly. “High heels thrust out the buttocks and arch the back into a natural mammalian courting—actually, copulatory—pose called ‘lordosis.’ Rats do it, sheep do it ... lions do it, dogs do it. It is a naturally sexy posture that men immediately see as sexual readiness. [Heels] are a ‘come hither’ signal.” Fisher is in the camp that believes heels detract from women’s power, and shouldn’t be worn at work. “When women wear high heels at work, they send sexual signals that should be avoided if they want to be taken seriously.”
