The legendary Céline Dion covers the new Harper’s Bazaar Icons issue! She is officially returning to the stage for a spectacular 5-week Paris residency.
Here is what she revealed in her most honest interview yet:
📸 The Look: Shot on a rooftop in Las Vegas by Robin Galiegue. She models stunning Saint Laurent and Gucci luxury while wearing beautiful Bulgari Tubogas jewelry.
Fashion: She doesn’t see herself as a “fashion icon”. She says clothes are just a fun way to “play and borrow a character”.
The Battle: She hid Stiff-Person Syndrome symptoms for 17 years before her 2022 diagnosis. She refuses to call it a disease, jokingly quoting Home Alone: “Kevin, you’re such a disease!”
The Treatment: She reveals how she had to use high doses of Valium just to walk and function during her worst moments of pain. Her foundation has also donated $2 million for medical research into the condition.
The Fans: She shares everything because her fans “rightfully deserve” the truth for supporting her career. Singing is her “earthly duty”

Good morning. 💛
I hope today gives you something you didn’t have to fight for.
Something easy.
Something kind.
Something that simply makes you smile.
You’ve done enough carrying.
Today, I hope something beautiful carries a little of you.

Good Morning Peeps and have fun in the HSN Community. 🎈😎

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE DAY

On August 20, National Chocolate Pecan Pie Day lets you have your chocolate and pie, too! In case you forgot, National Pecan Pie Day is observed each year on July 12 if chocolate isn’t your flavor, but we don’t know anyone like that.)

Just like the original, chocolate pecan pie goes well with ice cream. Another southern delight, this treat features crisp pecans. Pecan pies fall under the sugar pie category which gives them a gooey, almost caramel center. Depending on the recipe, different sugars make the sweet batter for the pie. Both brown and white sugars can be used, but so can molasses. Corn syrup is a common ingredient as well. Even honey is used.

NATIONAL BACON LOVERS DAY

August 20 is National Bacon Lovers Day on the National Day Calendar. Today we pay tribute to the crispy, chewy, and mouthwatering food we call bacon! If you’re a fan of smoky, savory, and a bit salty flavor, this food holiday is for you!

NATIONAL ACCESSIBLE AIR TRAVEL DAY

On August 20, National Accessible Air Travel Day focuses on the need for accessible air travel for people with disabilities.

Today, we highlight the need for accessible air travel for people with disabilities. While providing education and recognizing achievements made to assist people with disabilities, the day also encourages everyone to recognize how airplane accommodations are necessary for millions of people with disabilities to travel safely.

NATIONAL HAZY IPA DAY

Each year during the third Thursday in August, we raise a glass to National Hazy IPA Day and enjoy the juicy and hoppy flavors found in Hazy IPAs. Once an obscure beer style, Hazy IPAs are now among the most popular craft beers in the country.

A Hazy IPA is a style of beer that is an off-shoot of the modern American-style India Pale Ale or American IPA. Often characterized by their cloudy or hazy appearance, Hazy IPAs provide a wide range of juicy flavor profiles. These flavors are often sweet and more approachable than traditional IPAs. A beer’s flavor depends on the ingredients used during the brewing process, and IPAs, including Hazy IPAs, are known for their hop-forward flavors and aromas. National Hazy IPA Day gives the perfect opportunity to enjoy a Hazy IPA, plus explore the different vibrant hop flavors found in this beer style.
