Woman Gives Halloween

Kate’s story is both heartbreaking and empowering. She had endured months of painful uncertainty about her husband’s disappearance, only to discover that he had quietly moved on to build a life with someone else. Her reaction at the end—choosing to focus on her daughter and their future instead of lingering in anger or regret—speaks to her resilience and the strength she finds in being a mother.

The Halloween setting adds such a powerful layer to the story, too. For Kate, the holiday was a bittersweet reminder of what she’d lost, but seeing Holly’s happiness reminded her of what she still had. Holly represents hope and innocence, and her joy becomes Kate’s own motivation to start anew.

This story makes us think about the importance of choosing our own peace, even when life delivers harsh, unexpected turns. It’s about acceptance, courage, and moving forward with love for the ones who matter most. Sharing this with friends is a reminder of resilience and the bonds that keep us going—even in the darkest moments. What would you have done in Kate’s place? Would you have confronted Carl, or simply let go?

My Pink Hair Was Banned at Work, So I Started Showing Up With “Terrible Wigs”

Following a job offer, a 29-year-old woman faced a huge dilemma. She was given an ultimatum: conceal her pink hair or seek employment elsewhere. Embracing the challenge, she devised a clever solution to the restriction, sparking widespread attention online.

Emily Benschoter turned to TikTok to share her journey at her new workplace, but with the twist that she can never show her pink hair while she’s on duty. She only found out the fact after she had already been interviewed and offered the position, a front-of-house role in the hospitality industry, because there was no prior contact with her employers in person or over video chat during the hiring process.

Her manager then suggested she wear a wig and that’s when she decided to pick the funniest ones she could find. Her first TikTok video with the first wig went up on July 19, 2023, and it read: «When you have pink hair, but corporate does not approve, so you wear terrible wigs.»

Since then, people have become invested in her wig choices and her clips have been viewed millions of times. «The worse the wig, the better,» she admitted in an interview. «It is a way to open up the conversation with the customers who think it is insane that I have to cover my pink hair.»

In the same interview, Benschoter also took time to explain why she didn’t just simply dye her hair instead. «Dying my hair for a job I work at for 40 hours per week wasn’t an option,» she revealed. «I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair, so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair.»

Despite her having fun with the situation, she doesn’t approve of it. «It’s dehumanizing that I can’t be accepted at face value because my hair is a non-traditional color,» she said. «It’s so superficial that my hair color is an obstacle.»

Not surprisingly, this isn’t the first time someone goes viral on social media because of hair trouble. A different woman also went viral on TikTok after a visit to the hairdresser went wrong. She ended up leaving the salon with a disastrous blowout and the before-and-after photos prompted a massive reaction from folks online. See the photos here.
