The style of dresses you’re picturing, though, will depend entirely on the decade that you attended prom. Fashion trends are always evolving and that proves especially true when it comes to prom dress styles, as seen in this visual from popular fashion brand Lulus.

It starts with the early 1900s Victorian Era and travels through current day trends on a fashion blast through the past of the most popular prom dress styles from every decade. Here you’ll find the free and fun flapper dresses of the 1920s to the long and flowing bohemian dresses of the 1970s. As you go through the timeline of dresses it’s interesting to note how popular movies or celebrities had an impact on a decade’s fashion trends. The popularity of “Gone With the Wild” in the 1940s brought back the Victorian-Era style dresses that had been popular forty years prior. Pop stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera influenced the prom dress styles that were popular in the 2000s. As the dress styles change from decade to decade, one thing about prom remains the same and that is the desire to get decked out in fancy attire and dance the night away with friends and  classmates. And to see who is crowned Prom King and Prom Queen, of course! What type of prom dress do you think will emerge as one of the most popular styles of the 2020s?

Why do some divorces end with a large settlement? This is often the outcome when a couple divorces and one spouse earns a lot more money than the other, as long as there was no pre-nup in place before they got married. Divorce settlements have even led to the other spouse becoming a billionaire overnight. One such case of this was the infamous divorce between Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, and his wife Mackenzie Scott. The two married long before Amazon became one of the most valuable brands in the world; and when they divorced in 2019 Mackenzie got 25% of the couple’s Amazon stock, which was worth a whopping $38 billion. Their divorce settlement instantly turned Mackenzie Scott into not only a billionaire, but one of the world’s richest women at the time. Which famous couple’s split were you surprised to see on the list of the most expensive divorces of all time?

  • In addition to the visual guide, Eagle Eye Produce also provided these tips for choosing the perfect watermelon:
  • Choose a watermelon that is uniform in size – both oval and round are okay. The important thing is to avoid irregular bumps.
  • Choose a watermelon that is heavy for its size. This usually indicates a sweeter, juicier fruit.
  • Look for a creamy orange field spot. A field spot is where the watermelon was resting on the ground. The darker the spot, the longer the watermelon was on the vine. This maximizes flavor.
  • A white field spot may be a sign that the melon is not quite ripe.
  • Larger webbing or “sugar spots” means that the melon is seeping out sugar and could be an indicator of a sweet taste.
  • Dark, dull melons are typically ripe while shiny melons are unripe.

There are many wonderful ways to enjoy the ripe melon you just picked out! It is so important to stay hydrated while having fun in the sun (especially if alcohol is involved), so here are some infused water recipes to try out with watermelon and other tasty fruits and herb

The Ultimate Visual Guide to Boy Scout Patches and What They Mean

Published

on

The Boy Scouts of America was established in 1910 – ever since, invaluable qualities such as integrity, courage, teamwork, and survival skills have been cultivated and challenged in the youths who join. Boy Scouts can earn a myriad of patches that represent their achievements, ranging from simple colored shoulder loops to indicate the level of scouting the Scout has reached to individual merit badges in skills such as swimming, first aid, environmental science, archery, communication, citizenship in the community, wood carving, and even family life! One thing I love about patches of all kinds is how they translate a broader concept into a small design, much like logos! The team at WizardPins.com has created this fantastic visual guide to Boy Scout patches and what they mean:

There are so many cool designs on here! I am especially fond of the Wood Carving, Camping, and Arrow of Light patches. There are over 135 merit badges that Scouts can earn. How are Boy Scout patches earned? For merit badges, a scout must complete requirements with their badge counselor that help demonstrate a skillful understanding of the badge’s subject. For example, in order to earn a Hiking merit badge, the Scout must take four 10-mile hikes and one 20-mile hike with written plans and follow-up reports. I am actually shocked that a 20-mile hike is necessary – that is a colossal challenge even for a well-seasoned adult! It even says that Scouts are permitted to stop for just one meal. Goodness gracious! Way to go, Boy Scouts.
