Ladies, we have been brainwashed into thinking that our faces, our bare faces as they are, are not acceptable.

I like wearing makeup when I have a big event.

But day to day, running out, taking my kids somewhere, going to the store, I don't feel that I have to put on a full face of makeup.

And you shouldn't either.

And guess what?

Nobody even expects that you do, but society has created this

pressure that you are supposed to look like a beauty queen everywhere you go. Your face is beautiful,

and sometimes we just need a little bit of help. We don't need the cake on base and do a full

chiseled cheekbone. Sometimes the lightest touches actually make you look the best. Sometimes

less is more. Merritt is a minimalist

beauty brand that makes elevated makeup and skin care designed to help you look put together in

minutes with less steps. Merritt's best sellers are proof that less really is more. The flush

balm gives you that natural healthy glow without overdoing it. That's one of my favorite products

from Merit. It's a cream tint and it melts right into your skin. It's got kind of like a glow that it leaves and it comes in neutrals, classic pinks. And if you want a pop of color, they've got that too. Trust me, check out the baby pink. It always makes you look and feel like a little beautiful baby. On a no makeup day, it's no problem. Merritt's great skin serum is all that you need. It instantly hydrates and plums for a fresh, dewy look, and that is what we're all about here in this new year, fresh and dewy, effortless, that no makeup makeup look. And the best part is all of Merritt's products are clean, vegan, cruelty-free, and made with nourishing skin care ingredients that leave your skin looking better long after taking your makeup off. Right now, Merit Beauty is offering our

Hey, it's Hassam-Minhaj here from the Hassam the Hassam Minhaj doesn't know podcast, among other things. And I hate the smell of rotting food almost as much as I hate wasting it in the first place. Thankfully, now I have Mill. Mill is a food recycler that is odorless, guiltless, and completely effortless. See, I've always wanted to reduce my food waste. It is one of the easiest

ways for an individual to make a big impact on the environment. But I just cannot stand the mess

of a compost bin in the kitchen. But with mill, all you do is dropping your scraps and you let it go.

It works quickly and quietly turning your food, even small bones, into nutrient-rich grounds.

Now I take out the trash way less, yet my kitchen smells way better, and I don't have to feel

guilty when my zucchini gets moldy.
