Month: August 2022

Salma Hayek looks like she’s having a great summer vacation, sharing envy-inducing pictures of the sunny getaway.

After about eight weeks of no updates on Instagram, Hayek posted a bare-faced bikini pic on Sunday, Aug. 14.

In the picture, Hayek sported a pink bathing suit and trendy hat, lounging in what looked to be a vacation home or resort.

Hayek captioned the picture, “Happy Sunday!!! . Feliz domingo!!!! . #sundayvibes #nomakeup.”

The next day, Hayek revealed the beautiful view outside her tropical accommodations with a new bikini pic showing the 55-year-old leaning on a fence in a black swimsuit, striped shawl, hat, and sunglasses.

Behind her, you can see shining blue water, a palm tree, and more lush landscape.

The second photo was captioned, “Ready for the week. Lista para la semana. #monday.”

A man who resigned from his job after his boss refused to honor an agreed number of vacation days is being cheered online.

Posting to Reddit’s r/antiwork forum, user u/obdx2 shared screenshots of a conversation with his former manager.

Air traffic over Charleston will be restricted around lunchtime Aug. 16, starting at 11:15 am and ending at 12:45 pm, according to an advisory from the Federal Aviation Administration.

But first lady Jill Biden will remain in the Palmetto State a while longer.

On the day she was set to return to Washington with her husband on Aug. 16, Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing “mild symptoms,” the White House announced.

A few years ago, a childhood friend asked to use my vacation home for a solo long weekend. I said yes without hesitation. I trusted her. When the date arrived, however, her social media feed filled with photos of her and two coworkers lounging in my living room.

“I’m not as uptight as you are and didn’t think it would be a big deal” was her slightly insulting response when I questioned her about the additional guests. She left behind dirty sheets and towels but not an apology or a thank-you note.

I realize it’s a privilege to have a home to lend, and I happily hand off my keys multiple times per year without issue. But that situation gave me pause and had me questioning good houseguest etiquette.
