The actress is embracing single life amid PDA-packed Danny Ramirez Gist Jessica Alba posed in a tiny teal green bikini on vacation while sharing a cryptic post about "falling in love" on Tuesday, August 5.

A source recently told People that the pair are having "a good time Alba is giving fans a glimpse into her single era this summer. Since announcing her divorce from Cash Warren earlier this year, the Honest Company founder has been busy living her best life taking several tropical vacations, serving up plenty of string bikini inspiration, and hinting at her burgeoning romance with new flame Danny Ramirez. And on Tuesday, August 5, a bikini-clad Alba married all three elements as she shared cryptic comments about 'falling in love" on her Instagram Story.

The Sin City actress could be seen sipping a drink from a coconut as she shared a fresh-faced selfie outside. Wearing a plunging teal green string bikini and nothing else, Alba styled her golden-highlighted brown hair in a deep side part and blocked out the sun with a pair of angular black sunglasses. Huggie hoop earrings, a soft French manicure, and a delicate butterfly pendant necklace finished off her sunbathing look. Alba appeared to hint at her changing feelings amid her new romance with Ramirez, as she shared a post from mindfulness expert Case Kenny with a certain eye-opening passage highlighted in red. 'And while you search? You're cool with being alone, but also cool with falling in love,' the post read. 'You're just living your life but open to the day when someone comes along and enhances the happiness and joy you already have.'

‘Embarrassingly unprofessional' Gen Z intern sparks debate over bizarre time-off request: ‘Energy feels a little off'

Are they revolutionizing the workplace or simply being Gen La-Z? Zoomers have become notorious for seemingly committing myriad workplace faux pas, from picking up the phone sans speaking to dressing like slobs at the office. Now, a young clock-puncher is dividing people online after telling the boss they were taking a vacay because their energy felt 'off,' per a viral Reddit Post by said employer. The supervisor, who manages a group of 3 Gen Z interns at an AI startup, shared a screenshot of an email they received from one of their young underlings on apparently short notice. 'Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the work and my energy feels a little off so not getting that vibe right now,' it read. 'I'll be out from 28th July to 30th July (pls don't miss me).' The boss was taken aback by the ballsy message, especially as said worker was announcing rather than 'asking' for leave as is customary — a far cry from the quiet vacationing trend. '[The] corporate world is not ready for Gen Z,' they declared in the caption, adding that they found the 'language fascinating.' Despite the seemingly brazen demand, the manager said that they appreciated the intern's honesty and ultimately ended up acquiescing, writing, 'Anyways, she was frustrated with all the work, so I approved it.' The correspondence sparked mixed reactions with many commenters praising the employee's candor. 'Based, based, based. I f–king love our generation,' declared one fan, lauding the intern's apparent moxy. 'It's about time some blow-back happens,' vented another. 'Trained under old school Boomers and ugh if I hear about getting ahead by being consistent and working hard ever again.' They elaborated, 'Well, I'm almost 40 now and own nothing. Worked hard and consistently at top quality my whole life, but homes are starting at 1.5 mill[ion] and I made the stupid mistake of being born without money or much family.' 'People need to give reasons for taking time off?' spluttered a third. 'At my job, we just book it, and if no one else's off, we get it lol.' However, others deemed it ludicrous that an intern would need to take a mental health week. 'We had someone in our company who sent a similar email,' wrote one critic. 'They cc'd our client even though they shouldn't have, and it almost cost us a multi-million-dollar contract and numerous jobs. Our boss held a short training on how to send an email to both coworkers and clients.' 'Why are you praising this failure?' criticized one viewer. 'If you are that overwhelmed at work, you ask for help … If the first reaction is to quit, do not be shocked when the company tells them to stay home. You gave this baby too many tasks.' They added, 'In any real company, if any intern does this, it will prevent from full-time employment.' One appreciated the content but not the tone, writing, 'Look, I'm Gen Z and I get the desire for a break, but there are better ways to say you're taking one. I find this embarrassingly unprofessional. Nothing wrong with honesty, but so many better ways to say this.' While Generation Z defenders claim Zoomers are just striving for a better work-life balance, their so-called trailblazing behaviors have often been perceived as entitled and lazy by other generations. Coincidentally, a recent study found that a good percentage of Zoomers won't consider taking a job unless it has nap rooms, ping pong and a pet-friendly policy. Solve the daily Crossword

Two Teens Fell in Love on Vacation Then Went Their Separate Ways. 26 Years Later, They Found Their Way Back

In 1993, Kerri and Dirk fell in love while exploring Europe. They share their incredible story with CNN TravelNEED TO KNOW Two teens, Kerri and Dirk, fell in love while on vacation together in Europe. Nearly three decades later they ended up together The couple grew apart after their initial trip and even went on to marry other people After tragedy struck both Kerri and Dirk, another trip connected them back togetherIn the summer of 1993, a 14-year-old American teenager named Kerri Cunningham left her home in New York, to join her parents on a trip around Europe. The vacation would take Kerri, her parents and two sisters to the U.K., France and then on a two-week-bus tour through Italy. While the Cunninghams crossed the English Channel on a ferry to France, Kerri's parents started chatting with an English family of tourists: the Stevenses. It turned out the families were embarking on the same Italian tour. Soon, Kerri spotted Dirk, the family's 15-year-old son. 'I was immediately smitten,' Kerri told CNN Travel. 'Hugh Grant was really big at that time. And he sort of had this young Hugh Grant hair. Being an American girl, Hugh Grant was the guy.' 'A bad haircut,' Dirk added. 'But it worked at the time.' As the vacation progressed, the families grew closer. The teens sat side-by-side listening to music through Kerri's Walkman. Meanwhile, the dads would grab a drink at the pub while the moms went shopping. Kerri grew fond of the way Dirk interacted with his family. Dirk's father used a wheelchair and Dirk often helped his dad navigate the streets. 'I had never met anyone my age who was so comfortable with himself and his family and so accepting of me and mine,' Kerri told the outlet. 'Everything was just easy and fun. We just got each other and there was a very strong attraction.' The teens would often sneak away during the evenings to do their own thing, like snagging bottles of champagne and dancing arm-in-arm in an Italian hotel. 'We just felt so comfortable together,' Dirk recalls. 'I remember being on a gondola in Venice and just laughing the entire time.' Take PEOPLE with you! to get the latest details on celebrity news, exclusive royal updates, how-it-happened true crime stories and more — right to your mailbox.'I'm pretty sure we stole a few kisses when our parents weren't looking,' Kerri said. As the two-week tour came to a close, the teens realized they had to say goodbye. But luckily, their parents had planned to stay in touch. In fact, they made plans for the Stevenses to visit New York the following summer and stay with the Cunninghams on Long Island. Over the course of a year, the teens exchanged letters and made frequent phone calls to stay connected. When Kerri saw Dirk for the first time on Long Island in 1994, she felt 'at home.' The couple spent every moment together: on the beach and at Kerri's summer job. 'It was a very exciting time,' Dirk said of the summer in New York. 'Knowing that our time together was limited, made it all the more special.'When the summer came to a close, the teens continued to communicate long distance. But it gradually slowed down. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'We both got busy. We loved each other, but we weren't sure when we'd get to see each other again,' Dirk said. 'We were both students that couldn't afford expensive flights. Life gets in the way.' During Kerri's first year of college, her father was diagnosed with ALS. Shortly after, he died when Kerri was just 19. Both the Cunninghams and Stevenses were devastated. Kerri had planned on going to Paris with some girlfriends around the same time, but the trip was canceled. When Dirk's mother heard of her cancelled plans, she offered to take her and Dirk to Paris, together. In retrospect, Kerri realizes Dirk's mother wanted the kids to reconnect.'It happened to be Valentine's Day week,' Kerri said of the 2001 vacation. 'It was very romantic.' After the trip, everyone went their separate ways again: Kerri to New York and Dirk to the U.K. Kerri went on to marry a fellow Long Islander named Dean in 2010. Meanwhile Dirk also got married and had three children. In 2015, Dirk's daughter was diagnosed with a rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder. The next year, his mother died suddenly. Also in 2016, Kerri's husband Dean was diagnosed with a terminal Glioblastoma brain tumor. He died 18 months later. 'I lost him in 2017,' said Kerri. 'We did not have any children.'

A couple years later, Kerri's aunt suggested going to Ireland to 'get away.' About the same time, Dirk had emailed her to check in.'I told him of my upcoming plans for Ireland and he asked if he and his dad could meet us there. We hadn't seen each other in 17 years.' For the first time in almost two decades, Dirk stood in front of Kerri in Ireland.'When we saw each other, we hugged so tightly and I started crying. I realized I had never stopped loving him and, boy, was it nice to be hugged by such an old, true friend,' Kerri said. Just like their summer in 1993, Dirk and Kerri experienced a blossoming romance, accompanied by their older chaperones. While only for a couple days, Kerri and Dirk opened up to each other. Dirk revealed to Kerri that he had separated from his wife. Right before Kerri left for the airport he asked: 'Maybe we can make this work?' 'I knew I had to give us a real chance, because something much bigger had brought us back together,' she told the outlet. That was back in 2019. Today, the couple has been together for six years. Kerri still works in the U.S., but splits her time across the Atlantic to be with Dirk and his children. 'We were always meant to be together,' Kerri said of Dirk. 'We are twin flames that found our way back to each other after all those years.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
