Big Time Rush busted on the scene in 2009 with their hit Nickelodeon show of the same name. Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Carlos PenaVega became overnight sensations. They went on to release three studio albums, performing across the globe with five tours in three years.

Fast forward to 2020, the boy band held a surprise virtual reunion after a roughly eight-year hiatus to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their smash hit “Worldwide.” A fresh acoustic cover of the song sparked a new era for the group, with a whole new set of people discovering their music, adding to their already solid fanbase.

Giving the fans what they wanted, the guys headed out on their 2022-2023 Forever Tour, which took the band across North and South America, selling more than 300,000 tickets with numerous sellouts - including New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden.

With little downtime, the boys are back with a newly released 10-track album, Another Life, and a 39-city North American Can’t Get Enough Tour that kicked off last month.

We caught up with the band at their stop in Hershey, PA, to hear about the exciting things happening for these guys who just want to spread positivity through their music.

This is a LifeMinute with Big Time Rush.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and 90% of those cancers are melanoma, the deadliest type. But the good news is it is treatable if detected early. In fact, the five-year survival rate is 99%.

On a mission to spread that message, longtime leaders in sun protection, skincare brand La Roche-Posay in partnership with TDS, the dermatologist specialists of New York City were offering free head to toe skin cancer screenings to the public.

The brand says they’ve helped facilitate more than half a million skin exams by board certified dermatologists over the last ten years. Events like these, they say, help provide access to someone who may not visit a dermatologist regularly or have access to one. 

The team says more than 90% of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure and the sun’s harmful rays can penetrate even through glass, so that means no matter where you are or what you’re doing, if you’re exposed to sunlight you need to protect your skin and remember – every day is a sunscreen day.

Spring’s Hottest Nail and Lash Trends

Over the last two decades, BOTOX Cosmetic has become a household name—making it the number one selling product of its kind, the one approved to temporarily make moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines and frown lines look better in adults. But people may forget, it is a medical procedure.

Many people are interested in learning more about getting treated and there is only one BOTOX Cosmetic, but how do you know you’re getting the real BOTOX Cosmetic? This FDA approved one-of-a-kind formulation through its manufacturing process and scientific rigor can temporarily improve the look of three areas—moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines in adults.

Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry teamed up with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company–the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic, and the only authorized suppliers of BOTOX Cosmetic in the US–to show us how to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy.

What happens in many cases is people use the word ‘Botox’ ubiquitously, not specifically for BOTOX Cosmetic. The FDA has stated BOTOX Cosmetic is “not interchangeable,” which means that its safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by any other product. There are no substitutes for BOTOX Cosmetic. Potential flags to look out for: significantly discounted product may indicate it’s not the real deal, supplier claims their product is “equivalent to BOTOX Cosmetic” or “approved in another country,” and lastly, if it feels too good to be true, it may be.

It’s extremely important to only go to medical professionals who are licensed and trained to provide aesthetic treatments both for safety and to help you achieve your desired outcomes. To find a licensed provider near you, who is purchasing BOTOX Cosmetic from Allergan Aesthetics, visit Alle.com.

A statement-making eye look starts with gorgeous lashes. Celebrity makeup artist, Ash K Holm stopped by the LifeMinute studios to share her secret, Falscara, the easiest and best way to create a stunning lash look on your own such as the trending lashy cat eye and lifted baby doll look.

Falscara is a salon quality lash extension kit that you can do from home in just four easy steps. Ash says the kits are a go-to for her clients when it comes to creating custom lash extension looks for any occasion. Falscara is an innovative, affordable, and non-damaging DIY alternative to salon lash extensions. What's so unique is their under-lash application which creates a seamless natural look. The application is fast, easy and the wisps feel comfortable and weightless on the eyes.

Here’s how they work, first, gently place the wisps underneath the base of your natural lashes, slightly away from the waterline. Apply wisps starting from the outer corner of the lash line, working inwards. Brush on seal and use applicator or your fingers to squeeze the wisps against natural lashes to secure hold. The lashes look just stunning, so natural and with the overnighter they last up to 10 days.

Falscara has come out with a new style this year, a clear band. This wisp has a thin clear band, making the wisps seamlessly blend into your own lashes. Clear Band Wisp is super comfortable and feathery, perfect for creating the most natural lash extensions look. We love how they come in a variety of styles and lengths, perfect for mixing and matching to create a custom beauty look so you can go for a subtle or more glam look.
