Why Kim Kardashian Is The Marilyn Monroe Of Our Generation
Say what you want but Kim Kardashian is by far the most well known woman in the world right now. (Ok, maybe the Queen is up there too.)
Fame is something she’s just really good at, and we can’t blame her for it.
Her exotic beauty, risky style choices, well connected family and extremely successful husband doesn’t even begin to explain why she seems to always make it on the headlines of every news publication.
She’s simply iconic in every way, she knows exactly what people want to see and how to keep herself relevant even after all these years.
Her name seems to never disappear from the tabloids and it’s because she knows how to do fame the right way.

She is the “sex symbol” of our generation just as Marilyn Monroe was in the 1950s.
Pretty much everything she does from taking selfies to designing new kimoji merchandise has always been one of the first things you see when you open Twitter or Facebook.
She slays in almost every aspect, and this is why people love to hear what’s new in her life.
Her life is interesting to say the least, she’s always traveling, hanging out with the most elite celebrities, going to the fanciest restaurants and clubs the list goes on.
Sometimes we live vicariously through Kim Kardashian because who wouldn’t want to be her?

The Dollar High Club Is Trying To Revolutionize The Way People Get Weed Supplies
Are you a smoking aficionado? Ever run out of smoke supplies and get too slumped to leave your couch?
Well then Dollar High Club’s got you covered.
Dollar High Club is a monthly subscription service that discreetly delivers smoking supplies (intended for tobacco…right).
“A lot of people don’t have access to affordable smoking supplies, and we want to change that,” Harrison Baum, the founder and CEO of Dollar High Club told RISE NEWS.
For only a dollar a month you can receive 1.25 size all natural papers, all natural filter tips, 3.3’ organic bee wick and a matchbook.
That’s a good amount of smoking supplies for a dollar.
They also offer the option to subscribe for the Connoisseur package for $12 a month that comes with 7-9 products or the El Primo package for $30 a month that comes with 10-15 products.
Essentially, it is the smoking equivalent of the Dollar Shave Club.
When I first heard about the company, I was eager to learn more and my question to Baum was, how did you come up with this idea?
“It was a idea I came up with while browsing Reddit Trees and Reddit Entrepreneur,” Baum said. “I put the idea on Reddit, it topped r/Trees, and then I quit my day job that week and it changed my life.”
Sometimes the best ideas hit you out of nowhere, and that’s exactly what happened to Baum.
“We want to change the stigma surrounding smoking, by making it accessible to the everyday person worldwide,” Baum said.
The company has its own warehouse and can ship products to anywhere around the country.
They plan to get the word out using more grassroots means via social media including humorous content creation on YouTube and Facebook.
With that being said they just released a new video on Youtube that topped Reddit videos for a short time. It is a parody of the famous Dollar Shave Club commercial.

Why Kylie Jenner’s Lip Kit Is Like LITERALLY So Cute
18 years old and ambitious, Kylie Jenner (yes, really) is making a name for herself in the cosmetic world.
After she confessed to the public that she got her lips filled, Jenner hasn’t let it stop her from creating a company out of it.
As much as people talked about her fake lips, they still wish they could look as good as hers; and that’s why her new business Kylie Cosmetics is skyrocketing in sales.
Every week she restocks a limited amount of lip kits on her website and they typically sell out within minutes.
All of her lip kits are reasonably priced (ranging from $15-$29) and the rush to get them while they’re still in stock creates a FOMO (fear of missing out).
It’s quite the sales tactic. Not only do people purchase these lip kits just because it’s Kylie Jenner, they purchase them because they’re actually really freaking good.
Apparently her lip kit lasts 11 hours throughout the day, that’s longer than your average lipstick/gloss.
There’s more; each individual lip kit has it’s own unique name for example, her new glosses are; Like, Literally, and So Cute…They are LIKE LITERALLY SO CUTE!
Kylie Jenner is really good at keeping her fans up to date on new releases, colors, and explaining on what she’s working on next.
I know exactly when Dolce K is in stock because I follow her on Snapchat and exactly how much time it took for it to sell out. If you’re really curious to know more, I haven’t bought her app, but there is a special app where she apparently leaks more information to her fans that people on Snapchat wouldn’t know. Again, this is an impressive business feat.
Being 18 years old with your own company can have it’s disadvantages, but in this case her advantage is she can relate to the people interested in her lip kits. The majority of people that are interested in buying her lip kits are her fans. When you’re a fan of someone you usually admire that person, and when fans want to buy Kylie’s lip kit it’s probably because they admire her look. Her lips are always perfectly plumped and colored to perfection so why wouldn’t you want her look?
She takes the time to connect with her fans., she does a really good job of getting them engaged and giving them the chance to understand the way she does her makeup, just in case you’re curious as to how her makeup is so flawless. I’m even guilty of watching “How to Do Your Makeup Like Kylie Jenner” tutorials on Youtube.
No matter how much you don’t want to become a fan girl it’s merely impossible when Kylie is absolutely killing it in every aspect.
Of course, not everything is perfect in Kylieworld. RadarOnline.com has reported that workers at the warehouse that make the lip kits have complained of poor working conditions. More reputable news organizations have yet to confirm those rumors however.
Anyway, Jenner just released her new Glosses video to promote her lip kit, that features girls that Kylie specifically chose through the realms of social media. Here it is:

When Hate Hits Home: This High School Student Says She Was Targeted For Being Jewish
Hana Epstein, a high school student living in Katonah, NY recently received something in her mailbox that wasn’t mail- but instead a painful reminder that hate is still alive in the world.
In the early morning hours of January 25, Hana’s father went out to get the mail out of the family’s mailbox. He realized their mezuzahs had fallen off near the front door.
Hana’s dad continued to the mailbox where he discovered a white object that he thought was some kind of food lid.
After further inspection, he suddenly realized what it really was; a white square covered in swastikas. The name “Hannah” is also written across the square, with the last h underlined twice with a blue pen. The connection suddenly became evident.
“I was basically numb, I couldn’t really let it sink it just yet,” Hana Epstein said. “I’ve always heard of hate crimes being committed against Jews, but never in a million years did I think this would happen to me particularly.”
Hana lives in a neighborhood that is predominantly Jewish, so it was very unusual for something like this to happen.
“I had a wide array of emotions,” Hana’s mom Mara Gross Epstein said in a phone interview with RISE NEWS. “I was upset and angry and concerned for my daughter’s well-being. I was also amazed that this happened in Katonah, of all places.”
It took time for Hana to realize that there are hateful people in the world.
The entire episode created a sense of unease in the young student. She wasn’t able to sleep in her own house that night.
She looked around her room, looking at her Israeli flags and other tokens that reminded her of who she was. She said she could never understand why someone would do this to her just because she was part of a different religion.
Hana was so upset she went to her cousin’s house and missed the next day of school.
Eventually Hana said that she realized there is a lesson to be taken away from this.
“I always have been as proud to be Jewish as I am,” Hana said. “I don’t hide the fact that I’m Jewish, Judaism means the world to me. Now, more than ever, it’s essential that I stand up for who I am.”
Hana wants to spread awareness about the terrible crimes committed by anti-semitic people all around the world.
She posted a picture on social media of her wearing a Tallit (a holy garment) on top of Masada in Israel; the caption was “I’ll always be proud to be Jewish.”

Starting in September, Hana will be spending a year abroad in Israel where she hopes to share her experience.
The family said that they have reported the incident to local police.
