TLC Drops New Song Because The '90s Will Never Die

If you’re like us and haven’t stopped chasing waterfalls since TLC dominated the charts in the ‘90s, then prepare to creep on their new jam.

After the iconic girl band successfully crowd-funded a new album two years ago, we’ve been anxiously awaiting some new tunes from T-Boz and Chilli (R.I.P. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes) to scream-sing in the shower.

Their latest single is called “Way Back.”

The song abides by all the ‘90s tropes we know and love and features Snoop Dogg

TLC’s album is currently untitled and slated for release on June 30. They’re calling it their “final album,” dedicating it to fans “that have stuck with us, always challenging us to do our best.”

As per the Kickstarter, they are open to “your suggestions for the album title” and need inspiration. So, send over your suggestions!

Who knows? You could be responsible for naming the next “CrazySexyCool.”

Queen Latifah And Jill Scott Reunite For New Film Examining Flint's Water Crisis

The Lifetime network has announced new details for its developing original film examining Flint’s water crisis.  

On Thursday, the cable network revealed that Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, Betsy Brandt and Marin Ireland will star in the Craig Zadan and Neil Meron-produced film, which is inspired by writer Josh Sanburn’s 2016 Time magazine cover story “The Toxic Tap.”

“Flint” will depict the true story of three activists from the city ― portrayed by Scott, Brandt and Ireland, with Latifah playing a fourth resident ― who are fighting to expose and bring justice to the events surrounding their lead-tainted water supply, according to a press release.

Since details surrounding the quality of Flint’s water supply emerged in 2014, many have expressed their frustrations with the lack of prevention efforts and referred to the disaster as environmental racism

The humanitarian disaster later prompted former President Barack Obama to issue a state of emergency to the area in 2016, and drew a slew of donations from the likes of Beyonce, Mark Wahlberg, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Eminem and Cher ― who recently withdrew from her role in the Lifetime film due to a “serious family issue.”

Previously, Scott and Latifah co-starred in Lifetime’s 2012 remake of the 1989 film “Steel Magnolias.”

Production for “Flint” begins next week.

This Simple Hack Will Make Your Beauty Products Last Way Longer

Proper skincare is worth the investment, but that doesn’t make it any less painful to fork over your hard-earned cash. 

It does mean this little hack is genius, because it helps make those beloved products last longer.

Reddit user -callievee- recently uploaded a photo of an eye cream to the site’s Makeup Addict page. Product has stopped coming out, so she cut the tube open from the bottom. The discovery? A hefty amount of eye cream that would have otherwise been thrown away.  

Genius, right? We’re upset just thinking about the total value of creams and lotions and serums we’ve thrown away, assuming there was none left. And all that could have been salvaged by a pair of scissors, determination, and a binder clip to keep tubes sealed again between uses.  

Fellow Redditors commented that they use the same method on sunscreens, shampoos, conditioners ― pretty much anything that can be cut open from the bottom. 

Go forth and save those products, people.
