"If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values — that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control," said Martin Luther King Jr. And if we are to go forward, we need to look back at our history to understand why we are where we are today. These films, on streaming platforms like HBO Max and Netflix, take a deeper look into the why than most history books and they are great films to boot. Celebrate Black History Month by learning more about our nation's race history through social-justice storytelling.

Every part of my makeup routine — from my primer to foundation — is locked down, except for my boredom with my lip choice. Usually, the '90s makeup look I wear is the classic dark brown liner and gloss trend, but I've been itching to wear a little more color on my lips. I think it has everything to do with my infatuation with leopard print and wanting to lean into my own version of the mob wife trend that managed to make some people cringe.
Even if I don't spend the rest of the year decked in animal print, I want to wear bold shades and I know just who to turn to — MAC Cosmetics! They have everything from creamy satin to matte lipsticks that'll make your makeup and outfit look amazing. But, I'd rather show you what I mean, so let's jump into these 7 incredible shades!
Ulta
This toasted warm nude has everyone's name written all over it because it's literally perfect for fall? Why? Well, it's more of a peachy color that won't make you look washed out if you use a contrasting brown lip liner. How dark you want to go is up to you, but gorgeous ombré effect will make others wonder how you achieve the perfect pout.
Mac Cosmetics
No, I haven't lost my mind because one of the MAC lipsticks I'm thinking about buying is frosted. It's a purplish red that has golden pearl flecks that literally reminds of me a shiny copper penny. I'm sure I'm not completely deviating from my signature '90s lip look, but I'll be adding this in the center of lips instead of a nude matte lipstick! Once it's topped off with gloss, I'm sure it's going to mimic a beautiful fall sunset.
Nordstrom
Okay, I'm giving in because I know someone is looking for red lipstick that won't budge. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm the someone who can't stay away from this sexy shade. I don't care what season it is, it goes with everything you can think of. Plain t-shirt and jeans combo? Sure! Cute midi sweater dress and boots? Of course! That one date night outfit you've been saving for a special occasion? You bet!
Macy's
The name of this shade is fitting because it is spooky spooky season. I don't suggest you pretend like you're a hungry beast waiting for its next victim, but you could certainly pull this off when you're in a spicy mood. It'll take you from the boardroom to the bedroom (if you want) which will no doubt make someone say, "Wow, I love it here."
P.S. This theory may or may not have already been tested, but you didn't hear that from me!
Target
I'm a firm believer that not all fall looks require bold MAC lipsticks. Sometimes you need a touch of color that's soft and airy like this Lustreglass shade. Unlike matte or creamy formulas, this will keep your lips moisturized once you apply it. The color is also buildable so you can apply as much as you want, but I think a little goes a long way.
Nordstrom
Get away from this red completely and go for this deep cool brown shade if you dare. IMO, you can even save this for your scary Halloween costumesbecause it's the literal definition of BOLD. While I usually don't deeper brown lipsticks, I will use them as a lip liner because I'm not always a fan of using pencils, so this could be a neat trick you use in your routine!
Nordstrom
Skip the bright red lipstick in favor of something deeper like this gorgeous shade. This is one of my go-to colors whenever I get tired of wearing a nude lipstick look because it's effortlessly sultry. Not only that, but it looks good on all skin tones which is important to me as a brown skinned woman!

Starbucks just launched 2 new Valentine’s drinks, and they’re lookin’ mighty tasty. Starting February 4, you can order a dessert-inspired Frappuccino or a very-chocolatey cold brew bev to celebrate the holiday.
In addition to the new V-Day sips, Starbucks is also introducing a never-before-seen Refresher that combines both fruity and herby flavor notes! You won’t want to miss it.
That's not all that's new, though! Starbucks recently leaked their spring menu, which drops in March. There's a yummy-looking Iced Cherry Chai that we just know is going to be a hit.
Starbucks
Chocolate-covered strawberries are unarguably the best Valentine's Day dessert, and this Starbucks drink mimics the flavors perfectly. This frozen blend of strawberry puree, Frappuccino chips, and milk is super sweet. It's finished off with a splash of strawberry puree, whipped cream, and mocha drizzle. Yum!
Starbucks
What could be better than a combo of chocolate, hazelnut, and coffee?! This limited-time cold brew bev is sweetened with vanilla syrup and topped with chocolate-hazelnut cold foam. The real joy is the slightly-crunchy chocolate cookie crumble sprinkles!
Starbucks
Starbucks' Valentine's Day cups for 2025 are downright adorable. You have 2 cold cups and 2 tumblers to choose from this year. All of the designs are perfect for sipping on the all-new V-Day drinks, or even the never-before-seen suite of Blackberry Sage Refreshers!
Starbucks
Starbucks' latest Refresher flavor combines "sweet blackberries with notes of sage." It's the first-ever Refresher to feature an herby flavor, which Starbucks notes is reminiscent of modern cocktails and mocktails. This first drink of a new trio is prepped with green coffee extract, dried blackberries, and a "dusting" of sage.
Starbucks
“Imagine you’re walking through a garden you’re smelling fresh herbs and then berries,” Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for Starbucks said about the all-new Blackberry Sage Refresher flavor. “That’s really what you’re getting with this beverage – a balance of subtle notes of sage and sweet blackberry flavors.”
The Blackberry Sage Lemonade Refresher has a brighter effect upon sipping, thanks to the tart Starbucks lemonade it's mixed with.
Starbucks
The third and final Blackberry Sage Refresher bev is called the Midnight Drink, and it's made with a delicious splash of coconut milk for a creamier feel. Which one will you try first?
