Create Account Reid, a former Playboy model, shared the news in an Instagram post on Wednesday, describing ending the marriage as 'one of the most painful' decisions of her life. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' Reid wrote in the post, accompanied by a clip of her sitting outside. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds. 'Sometimes we face trials we didn't choose or see coming. And in those moments, we're forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future. I've come to the understanding that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself.

Alberta to allow liquor sales as early at 6:30 a.m. during this year's Calgary Stampede
The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission will once again extend the hours that alcohol can be legally sold during this year's Calgary Stampede. "Bars, restaurants and lounges in the city of Calgary have the option to start liquor service at 8 a.m. during the 2025 Stampede, which runs from July 4 to 13," the provincial agency said Tuesday in a news release. The changes are a "blanket approval" that applies to all Class A, B and C liquor licensees, the AGLC said. This includes bars, lounges, taprooms and convention centres within Calgary. "Licensees do not have to apply for this particular extension, which is for early service only," the agency said. Closing hours for liquor service are not changing. Liquor licensees along the Stampede Parade route can start selling alcohol even earlier — at 7 a.m. — on the morning of the parade, July 4. In addition, private events held in the city during the Stampede that obtain permission from the AGLC may start alcohol sales as early as 6:30 a.m. "Hours for special events are determined on a case-by-case basis," the agency said. The AGLC regularly changes alcohol-service hours during major international sporting events or major community events. It has extended the sales hours for the Stampede annually since 2014.

'Blush blindness'? Do your thing, says Dior Beauty pro Peter Philips
Makeup pro supports a you-do-you approach to beauty Dior Beauty Ambassador Jenna Ortega with the newRosy Glow Blush Stick. Photo by Dior Beauty Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. 'Blush blindness' is a beauty term that's been trending for a while on TikTok and Instagram. The New York Times defined the beauty affliction as 'not being able to tell, empirically, how rosy is too rosy.' Thrown around as both a criticism and a beauty trend term, the idea behind 'blush blindness' is that the wearer boldly wears the makeup product. Perhaps, sometimes, too boldly. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter is a celebrity name that's become attached to the trend, as fans point out that her preference for adding extra blush to her look appears to have grown. Whether it's a liquid, balm or powder formulation, 'blush blindness' can apply to both the amount applied, hue and pigmentation of a product.

'I think there's absolutely too much blush sometimes. But I'm not judging,' Philips says. The longtime makeup pro says that wearing too much makeup of any kind can be a delicate balance, but one that only you can perfect. 'It's very difficult to give tips now, in general, because there is no 'in general',' Philips says. 'Every face is different.' And not every makeup fan, he notes, wants to look the same as everyone else. Philips points to a young colleague on his Dior Backstage Beauty team who 'loves' blush, opting to add the cheek tint with a 'full-on' application approach.

And so, I'm not judging her,' notes Philips, speaking during a virtual call with international media. 'I mean, she feels good. She feels great … 'Maybe in five years time, she will see a picture of herself and say, 'Oh, my god. What was I thinking?' I have pictures of me when I was a teenager going out, and I felt fantastic. And then I was like, 'Oh my god, what was I thinking?'' As is often the case with younger generations exploring makeup products, they play with particular product categories with the aim of making them feel new. Blush has become a main medium of play, and they're using it as more than just a pop of colour on the cheeks. 'Now, for younger kids, blush blends into fashion, almost,' Philips says. 'They go really high with a bit of blush and it combines almost with the eyeshadow.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. While Philips admits he'd step in to offer some tips for blending or a better shade suggestion if he felt someone's 'blush blindness' had truly gone a bit too far, he'd be hesitant to hinder someone's sense of play or creativity with their own beauty look. Makeup is, above all else he stresses, about being creative. And making you feel good. 'It's just fun, you know?' Philips says. 'You can be playful and creative with new makeup at any age.' Perhaps in an effort to promote that play, while also offering wearable, blendable shades that play down the possibility of a 'blush blindness' snafu, Philips and the Dior Beauty team have created a new collection of blush sticks just in time for the easy-breezy beauty days of summer. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Dior Rosy Glow Blush Stick ($59 at Dior and Sephora) features a dewy finish and a pH-reactive technology that allows each shade to react to skin's unique balance, adopting a cooler pink or warmer coral undertone. 'It's a beautiful, caring formula. It gives a beautiful shine and glow,' Philips says. 'It's just yummy.' Available in seven shades, with glowing, radiant and pearlescent finishes, the blush sticks offer buildable colour, easy application — 'Just place a little bit where you think you should, and blend it out,' he advises — and long-wearing performance. When prompted to point to an MVP shade within the range, Philips said that making a selection is a 'very individual' process. 'It's very personal. You have to try it out,' he says simply.

Photo by Dior Beauty While glowing skin and bold cheeks, paired with a glossy lip, are trending beauty trends this season, Philips reminds that makeup trends are cyclical. So, what's in will be out and what's out will, once again, be back in. 'Matte, skin contouring, matte red lips, mascara, lashes, eyeliner, thick eyebrows, thin eyebrows … they will never die out,' Philips says. 'It's like a plant. Maybe they will lose their leaves, but they will blossom again. At some point.' Aharris@ Read More
