I created my own funeral photo montage — so I know I'll be remembered at my hottest
What was meant to be a low-key night of snacks and laughs took an unexpectedly emotional turn for two best friends. Instead of their usual catch-up routine, Alexis arrived at Jasmine's home with a laptop and a surprise: a fully edited 24-minute funeral montage of herself, complete with dramatic music, touching tributes, and heartfelt messages. 'I made my funeral montage,' Alexis told People she said as she casually as she connected her computer to the TV. Jasmine was in shock. 'Girl, get this out of my house!' she said. The moment, captured in a now-viral TikTok video, resonated with thousands online. 'Having a morbid best friend who works in funeral and cemetery services is not for the weak,' Jasmine captioned the video. Alexis has spent over six years working in the funeral industry, and for her, confronting mortality isn't unusual. She says her Mexican-American background, which embraces death as a natural part of life, influenced her perspective. 'I've always been a little morbid and creepy,' she admits with a laugh. The idea for the montage stemmed from recent personal events. A motorcycle accident involving Jasmine's cousin left the family scrambling due to a lack of legal or end-of-life plans. 'He's a young man, so he had no will, he had no nothing,' Alexis said. 'That was one of the questions I was asking: does he have anything like a power of attorney? Who's making the decisions here?' Fortunately, he survived, but the incident made her realize how important it was to plan ahead and inspired her to take control of her own legacy. Alexis didn't stop at just the video. She's written her will, assigned power of attorney and even designated who will inherit her favorite Star Wars t-shirts. 'I'm really particular, and I don't trust anybody to do things the way that I want to do it,' she said. 'If this happens to me, you make sure I'm right. Don't have me looking all crazy with two different-shaped eyebrows. I got to have my nails done. I want a specific color of flowers.' Though Jasmine initially reacted with humor and disbelief, the montage soon had both women in tears. 'By pre-planning and getting your affairs in order and even doing stuff like this, you're unburdening your family from having to do this,' Alexis explained. 'I've been in this situation where I've had to put this together at the time of somebody's passing, and you're just miserable.' Going viral caught them by surprise. Jasmine originally shared it privately on Instagram, thinking it was just another funny moment between friends. But viewers were captivated by the blend of dark humor and genuine love between the two women. 'It just so happened to go viral,' Jasmine said. 'At the time, I wasn't thinking about that. But I was like, let me show all the people that follow me what this dummy's up to today. Because it's always something with her.' Some commenters expressed concern that Alexis was 'manifesting' her death, but both women dismiss that. 'Planning your funeral is no different from writing a will,' Jasmine said. 'It's not about expecting the worst. It's about being prepared.' For Alexis, laughter is a key part of her approach to life and death. 'I just want everyone to be miserable without me,' she joked. But she also wants them to smile and laugh, too. Her perspective has influenced Jasmine as well. 'I used to be super afraid of death. Like, don't even talk about it,' Jasmine admitted. 'But being friends with her, going through my own medical traumas and things, I've learned to cope with it through comedy, laughing, and accepting it. We all know we're going to pay taxes, and we're all going to die. None of us know when.' Their friendship, built on honesty, laughter and shared experience, has helped both women embrace difficult conversations and find joy in the unexpected. 'Nothing in life is ever that serious,' Alexis said. 'Even death.'

Lululemon's viral tote just dropped in a new colour — here's why shoppers are obsessed
If there's one thing fashion lovers, gym-goers and jet-setters can all agree on, it's that a good tote bag is hard to find. You want something that looks luxe but doesn't scream 'trendy for five minutes,' something big enough to hold your laptop, water bottle and snacks (yes, snacks are non-negotiable!), but not so oversized it looks like you're moving out. Oh, and bonus points if it doesn't cost as much as a month's rent. Enter Lululemon's Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L, the latest viral accessory that's quietly becoming the bag of the summer. TikTok can't stop talking about it. Reddit's raving. And shoppers everywhere are double-taking because, well, this sleek tote could 100 per cent be mistaken for something straight off the runway. However, here's the plot twist: it's under $200, made with durable fabric and designed to handle real life. Shop in three colours: Tidewater Teal/Lavender Frost/Chrome (pictured here), French Press/Sand Trap/Antique White and Grey Eucalyptus/Jade Grey/Peroxide. Looks aside, this bag seriously delivers when it comes to function. With an 18L capacity, it can easily fit your laptop, gym clothes, snacks, beauty pouch and probably even a small dog (not recommended, but theoretically possible). It also features multiple interior and exterior pockets to keep your essentials organized — no more digging around blindly for your lip balm or earbuds. And let's talk materials: the water-repellent knit fabric means a little rain or a spilled latte isn't going to ruin your day (or your tote). It's strong, structured and wipes clean easily, which is exactly what you want in a daily carryall. While there are no reviews on Lululemon for this tote quite yet (it's brand new), the bag is certainly having its moment on TikTok. One shopper said, "the strap quality is sturdy," and another raved that it's 'literally so cute!' The smaller version of the bestselling tote is also roomy enough for everyday essentials. At $168, the Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L is definitely an investment, but compared to similar styles from luxury brands, it's a steal. It brings a high-end look to any outfit without the high-maintenance feel. If you're into bags that look expensive, work hard and effortlessly elevate every outfit, this one's worth the hype. Shop it while you can because something tells us this one won't stay in stock for long.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A 21-year-old local filmmaker will be debuting his first feature film this weekend. 'Pastime' will premiere at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Theatre this Saturday, June 14. The film is described as a romantic comedy and character study film meant for all ages to enjoy. LIST: Pride Month events in the Miami Valley 'The synopsis of the story encompasses an enduring summer romance that lasts for a while and fell apart,' said Corinthian Campbell, 'Pastime' writer and director. 'The main character is battling with the concept of what is love, is it a pastime, passion to some people? What is it?' Campbell worked to include several Dayton area locations to make his work more attractive to locals, as well as help promote the film culture in the Miami Valley. Saturday's event is more than just watching the film, it's the World Premiere Red Carpet Screening. 'It is kind of a red carpet event for cast and crew,' said Johnny Catalano, associate producer on the film. 'It's absolutely open to the public.
