Everyone’s been talking about cutting parabens out of their beauty product routine, but why?

The S&#39;well bottle has a unique, recognizable shape that narrows at the tip. S&#39;well Founder &amp; CEO Sarah Kauss aimed to combine fashion and function with the bottle, resulting in design collaborations with Gray Malin and Yoon Hyup and bottle lines inspired by textiles. The BPA free, stainless steel bottle uses triple-walled insulation technology to keep drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12. Their standard bottle, at 9, 17, or 25 ounces, sells for <a href="https://www.swellbottle.com/bottles" target="_blank">$25</a>.

Tharpe&rsquo;s music reflected the complexities of her life; it <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/544226085/forebears-sister-rosetta-tharpe-the-godmother-of-rock-n-roll">explored</a> love and sexuality, though it never lost the spirituality. She was a risk taker and experimentalist, and her musical decisions &ndash; like heavy distortion of electric guitar &ndash; went on to inspire many; these are decisions that still impact music today.

By the time she was 30, in 1945, she had already had two marriages to men, and multiple relationships with both men and women. Though it is said she was open about her sexual orientation within the industry, she was much more private abut it publicly. Marie Knight became Tharpe&rsquo;s partner after they worked together on their hit song, &ldquo;Up Above my Head.&rdquo; As two queer women of color, they toured together, and made their own business decisions, in the 1940s, and act of courage that is almost unimaginable considering the <a href="https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/544226085/forebears-sister-rosetta-tharpe-the-godmother-of-rock-n-roll">cultural climate</a> and the institutionalized homophobia, sexism and racism, of the times.&nbsp;
