Please take two minutes to let your congress rep know that we need to fight for a tax credit for tips!

Did you know that restaurants can claim tax credit on tips their employees receive yet salons can not? Commission salons like mine spend thousands on taxes for tips that the salon never sees as income. Savings like this would allow us to bring more benefits to our salon company.

Please share this to spread the word.

Thank you for your help!

The American Psychological Association (APA) is urging for the implementation of social media literacy and physiological development training for teenagers before they venture into the world of social media. According to an article by Madeline Holcombe for CNN News, the association's president emphasizes that social media itself is neither inherently harmful nor beneficial to young people. Drawing a parallel to acquiring a driver's license, the importance of ensuring the safety of youth online is highlighted. The article proposes that the 10 APA recommendations should be tailored to individual teenagers based on their unique strengths, weaknesses, and levels of maturity, recognizing that not every recommendation may be applicable to all teens. ✨What are your thoughts? Do you think it’s necessary? Do you think the studies are dismissive of the experiences of teens. ✨
