Many artists have covered the 1969 Beatles classic “Come Together” over the years, for better or worse. John Lennon originally wrote “Come Together” as a song for Timothy Leary’s 1969 campaign for governor of California against incumbent Ronald Reagan. Leary didn’t end up using the song or winning his bid for office. When the Beatles began recording their album “Abbey Road,” Lennon started singing “Come Together” in the studio and fleshed out the rest of the lyrics.

Then come the sounds: seagulls overhead, shrimp boats humming along the shore, and the happy clatter of diners digging into just-caught seafood with their hands. This is Coastal Mississippi, where shrimp season isn’t just a time of year — it’s a way of life.

I don't know about you, but I spend a lot of time making up the perfect meal in my mind. It always goes like this: "I'd have my granny's turkey and dressing with cranberry sauce, and a side of my mom's green beans, and maybe my family's mac and cheese, wait, maybe a steak grilled by my husband, wait ..."You get the idea.

There were the occasional short haircuts and some moments of shedding during life’s stressful seasons, but, for the most part, my hair has always been pretty full. That is, until very recently. Life has gotten the best of me, and I have been s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d to the max, which has caused some pretty intense hair loss.
This Butt Mask Made My Bum Firmer Than I Could’ve Imagined

Beyond squats, I do numerous glute exercises to maintain a perky butt. I’m talking glute bridges, lunges, deadlifts, donkey kicks—the works. As much of an asset my hiney is, I still think it could use a little more work. However, I’ve avoided any procedures (no BBL for me) because I don’t really need them, and, frankly, I’m terrified.
