Having used Ripple for nearly a year, I’ve been impressed with its soothing natural ingredients, which leave none of the usual aftereffects of nicotine vapes, like a sore throat or bad taste.

“Sirens” on Netflix: Meghann Fahy’s Devon is the Unapologetic Anti-Hero We Didn’t Know We Needed

Best known for her role as Daphne in “The White Lotus” (Season Two), Fahy once again delivers a tour de force performance — this time as a woman grappling with her self-destructive tendencies and a tenuous grip on sobriety.
