Lush Joins The Fight For Transgender Equality

The cruelty-free UK-based brand, Lush, announced on Twitter that for the next two weeks they're bringing the issue of discrimination against transgender individuals into the spotlight of their North American stores.

They have stripped their storefront windows of their usual displays and replaced them with the products from their "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" collection along with quotes from their transgender and non-binary employees relating to their identities and community pride.

Within this collection, Lush offers two products: a bath melt and a Charity Pot.

"Inner Truth" is a pink and blue heart shaped bath melt in which the product's colors were inspired by the transgender flag.

The Charity Pot body lotion has been a staple product of the brand as the proceeds always go "to small grassroots organizations."

100% of the sales from these two products go directly to organizations who are fighting for transgender rights such as the National Center for Transgender Equality. In addition to these two body products, Lush offers small booklets to their in-store customers which detail "how to be a trans ally."

From the collection's name, Lush has been spreading the hashtag, #TransRightsAreHumanRights, throughout their numerous social media pages. They've been focusing on sharing the personal stories of their transgender and non-binary employees on social media as well as offering statistics on their website relating to the various daily struggles that these individuals face.

If there isn't a Lush near you and you still want to help the cause, you can order these products online and learn more about the movement here!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
