Hey there! It’s Monday, and while the world’s busy mourning the weekend, we’re here to celebrate a fresh start! This week is brimming with possibilities, so let’s kick it off with a bang (and a lot of coffee).
But before we start, here’s a lil task for you:
📌 Write down one thing you’re excited about this week - it could be big or small
Now, let’s get started…
So, a woman got fired from Target because of her ‘Trust in Jesus’
At a Target store in Fargo, North Dakota - it’s got everyone talking. Denise Kendrick, an employee, was fired for wearing a name tag that said, “Trust in Jesus.” Yep, you heard that right. They told her it violated the dress code.
Denise was stunned and didn’t hold back. She pointed out that others had personal touches, like rainbows, on their name tags. Still, her manager insisted she couldn’t work there anymore unless she removed it. When she asked for the decision in writing, they dodged her request and handed her a list of corporate numbers to call. Frustrating, right?
Here’s where it gets interesting - people online rallied behind her, blasting Target for what they saw as hypocrisy. After all, the company promotes itself as an equal opportunity employer that doesn’t discriminate based on religion. Supporters urged her to take legal action, while others debated whether personal tweaks to uniforms should be allowed at all.
Target eventually responded, admitting they messed up. They apologized to Denise, reinstated her job, and assured everyone they’re addressing the issue with the manager involved.
This mom forgets giving birth to triplets just after delivery
Imagine this: you’ve just given birth to triplets, and then you wake up a week later with no memory of it. That’s exactly what happened to Marisa Christie, a Texas mom, after she suffered a rare and life-threatening condition called an amniotic fluid embolism during her C-section. Her heart stopped for 45 minutes—clinically dead—but thanks to quick-thinking doctors and an ECMO machine, she survived.
Waking up, she was terrified to learn she had delivered her babies - Charlotte, Kendall, and Collins - but didn’t remember them. Meeting them for the “first time” was surreal, like they weren’t hers. Slowly, she built that bond.
Marisa’s recovery wasn’t easy - she lost her uterus, faced weeks of healing, and endured unimaginable fear.
BTW, this couple stored $1 million of Lululemon products
A couple has been accused of stealing nearly $1 million worth of Lululemon products from stores across multiple states, including Minnesota, New York, and Colorado. Their methods included distractions, hiding products in clothing, and using receipts as decoys while walking out with unpaid items.
Their luck ran out in Minnesota when alarms caught store employees' attention. Later, a hotel search uncovered 12 suitcases, three packed with over $50,000 worth of tagged Lululemon items.
If convicted, the couple faces up to 15 years in prison, a $35,000 fine, or both!!
A word of caution!
Ever thought about changing your eye color permanently? That’s what a growing number of people are doing with a procedure called keratopigmentation. It’s a quick, 30-minute surgery where dye is injected into the cornea to alter your eye color - forever. Sounds wild, right? Some people are doing it to feel more confident or match family traits. One guy even changed one of his brown eyes to blue to match his Siberian husky.
Dr. Alexander Movshovich, a New York ophthalmologist, is one of the few doctors in the U.S. performing this procedure. He charges $12,000 per surgery (and nope, insurance doesn’t cover it). He’s on track to perform 400 of these surgeries this year alone!
But, while keratopigmentation can be helpful for medical conditions - like giving someone the appearance of an iris if their cornea is damaged - doing it purely for cosmetic reasons has many experts raising red flags. Risks include vision loss, temporary light sensitivity, and even infections.
So, that’s it for today. Let’s meet again tomorrow👋
