TODAY’S TOPICS:

Seems like a conversation is starting …According to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, books on race and racism are selling out. Barnes & Noble told USA Today, “We were heartened to see the surge in sales of these books in response to the news, and we are working hard to replenish any print editions that are sold out.” Barnes & Noble has also created a curated list of anti-racism books. “Books are a conduit for learning, growing and providing insight into the lives and thoughts of those we may not know … but with whom we may discover we share much in common," the company said.

5-star dining dad … A dad named Christophe Kyle posted a picture on Instagram of himself seated at a tiny table in his 18-month-old daughter's toy restaurant named Ava's Kitchen -- and the adorable photo went viral. Considering the racial climate in the U.S. right now, this dad was proud to support and share the news of his daughter's imaginary black-owned business. He even jokingly offered a customer review about her eatery. His caption read, "I been waiting on my order to get done for 45 minutes, and I’m the only customer here. She was making good progress at first, then she stopped for 20 minutes to go watch Paw Patrol. Overall the customer service could be better, but the cook is a cutie, so I’ll give her another chance. Let’s not give up on Black businesses so fast after one mistake.”

The official Paw Patrol Instagram account even responded with humor, saying, "Seems like a good enough reason to take a 20 minute break!" (People)

Drive-thru Botox …While most states and cities are allowing elective procedures again, many people are still uncomfortable sitting in a waiting room with other people -- or even going to a doctor’s office at all. So what’s a person dying to get Botox again do? Drive-thru Botox.

Miami-based plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer, aka "Dr. Miami," has created drive-thru Botox in the garage of his medical clinic. Patients make an appointment, drive into the garage, and the good doc goes up to the car, has the patient roll down the window, and then gives them an injection. "The areas that we inject Botox are the upper face, exactly the parts of the face that aren't covered by the mask so it's really ideal," Salzhauer said. The injections are $600 a shot. (Insider)

Are you dream cheating more these days? A new survey found that during these stay-at-home times people are having more sex dreams – and some of those dreams involve people that aren’t their current partner. 42% of respondents say they’ve had more vivid sexual or romantic dreams than usual, and 21% of respondents – 64% of whom are women -- say they’re having intimate dreams about someone else – specifically, an ex.

“Cheating dreams are very common, but it is usually the dreamer that is getting cheated on in their dreams,” says certified dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg. “Since COVID-19 began, I’ve been seeing more dreams where thedreamer is the cheater. And the most common person people have been cheating with in their dreams is their ex.”

Why the rise in cheat dreams? Loewenberg thinks that cheating on your partner in a dream might be a reaction to the constant togetherness couples have been experiencing lately. “Many no longer have that separate slice of life that’s all their own, the way they did when they went to work or when their partner went to work,” says Loewenberg. “The need for an escape gets stronger and stronger, and the cheating dream happens as a means of an escape. In these cases, the dreamer may find themselves hooking back up with a favorite ex.” (Well + Good)
