Women with Headwear: Why a Promotional Visor for the Australian Open is Getting a Lot of Attention

Simona Halep is the number-one ranked women’s tennis singles player. In January, she proved that women with headwear make waves.

Mercy Hospital Sports Star Wars Themed Caps in Honor of May the Fourth

May 4 has come to be known as May the Fourth Be with You day in honor of the Star Wars franchise. One woman in Iowa made Star Wars themed infant caps and donated them to babies born on May 4th at Des Moines Mercy Medical Center.
