2 Mass. prisons mishandled COVID and neglected prisoners, report by disability advocates claims

Some Massachusetts prisons fell short in handling the coronavirus pandemic and neglected disabled and medically vulnerable prisoners, according to an investigation by the Disability Law Center. "[The] DOC was certainly faced — like many other facilities and the rest of us across the world — with the daunting task of figuring out what to do during the pandemic," said Tatum Pritchard , interim executive director of the DLC. "We would never suggest that the DOC did not put in a great deal of time and effort into implementing policies and procedures to stem the tide of COVID-19. However, what we found in the end was that DOC's treatment of people with disabilities fell short and there was neglect." The report includes DOC's initial response to some of the agency's preliminary findings. The DOC said it "did not find substantive evidence to support the findings." The department said it followed public health guidelines and prisoners were provided wit...

Beauty Industry Giants Share the Wellness Advice They Learned from Their Moms and Grandmothers

Of the millions of things our moms teach us, knowing how to look and feel our best is one of the most meaningful. Maybe it's the way she   washed her face , the just-right red lipstick she wore, or her signature scent that boomerangs you back in time—the common thread is self-care, with a big spritz of confidence.   Jones Road   founder Bobbi Brown recalls the "dedicated spa nights" she shared with her mother: "We'd put on our pajamas and do manicures, pedicures, and facial masks," she says. Deepica Mutyala, the founder of makeup brand   Live Tinted , won't ever forget coconut-oil hair massages, which were a monthly ritual she and her mom shared.

How Four Leaves Is Pioneering A Supercool Socially Conscious Lifestyle Brand

Coming out of the Netherlands,   Four Leaves  is one of the most interesting sustainable and socially conscious lifestyle brands I’ve come across in a while. And when I found out that the company gives back to good causes in Sri Lanka, I had to interview the founder, the charismatic and determined Shiran Gort. “ Four Leaves started out as a bed linen and towel brand. Rooted in textiles and fashion I wanted to add more consciousness and experience to the home linen industry, as I strongly believe that daily routines like a good night rest and that me-time moment in the shower, go way beyond thread counts and weights per square centimeter. Don’t get me wrong, quality matters and we love fabrics, but the same goes for design, sustainability and social impact,” shared Gort. “My vision for the company is trifold: first of all, we are developing Four Leaves into a full fledge ‘lifestyle brand’ with its own distinctive look & feel. Following this brand objective, we are exte...
