Its driver managed to get the EV under control, but they soon realized the Jeep had driven away, too. No word yet on whether the Tesla’s Autopilot or Full Self-Drive mode was enabled during the crash. Check out the video!
How to look younger and thinner in pics

It’s summer, and that means you’ll be taking a lot of photos. I want you to look your best. When it comes to posing, you need to be strategic. And if that doesn’t work, I share the photo-editing app Kim Kardashian uses.
Figure out your best selfie angle
Take a series of nine selfies:
- Look straight at the camera, then take three pics: One with the camera right in front of your face, one from above and one from below.
- Turn your face slightly to the right. While keeping eye contact with the lens, snap a selfie with the camera at face level, then take one where the camera is higher and one where it’s positioned lower.
- Do the same thing with the left side of your face.
Compare the nine photos to see which angle suits you best. Can’t decide? Get a second opinion from a friend you trust.
🦃 To minimize neck fat and extra skin, jut your head forward slightly so it’s closer to the camera. At the same time, elongate your neck and tip your chin down a little bit. Looks strange in person but right on camera.
Make your eyes twinkle
Bad lighting can make even the most attractive person look like a horror movie villain. Here are my rules of thumb:
- Don’t stand under a light: Direct overhead lighting casts harsh shadows that make your skin look bad.
- Use the golden hours: That’s one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset. The soft, natural light makes your skin glow!
- Face a light source: Point your eyes toward it and widen them just a bit.
- If you’re outside: Face the sun to take advantage of the natural light. But if the sun is high and it’s making you squint or casting dark shadows, find a patch of partial shade.
Pro tip: Use better lighting on your video calls. I tried a bunch and loved the Lume Cube Broadcast Lighting Kit. It comes with a suction cup for your monitor and a tripod. Gorg!
Look better in full-body photos, too
Standing straight toward the camera isn’t flattering. Angle your torso away from the camera, then put your weight on your back hip. This makes your front leg closest to the camera look leaner.
