I’ve come across a really annoying winter fashion dilemma: The warmest coats are usually the ugliest. Or, let me rephrase that — they aren’t the most stylish. If you’ve accepted the fact that you’ll look like a marshmallow from December through March to prevent the chill from reaching your bones, I have some good news. […]

Anna Kendrick may be 39 years old, but she still looks like she could be in her late 20s. How does the actress do it? The answer, my friends, is by wearing sunscreen every day. Seriously! Sunscreen is the number one anti-aging product that can help prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles. And while […]

One of my New Year’s resolutions should’ve been to get better at cleaning. This menial task is the bane of my existence — I may live in a 450-square-foot apartment, but I swear it takes four hours to properly clean the place. I don’t think tidying up and scrubbing the floors is something I’ll ever […]

Whether you’re a first-time skier or have been shredding the slopes since you could walk, having the right gear can make each run so much more enjoyable. Of course you’ll need a solid waterproof ski coat, but when it comes to your bottoms, I highly suggest choosing a bib over pants. Bib overalls offer extra […]

For the past five years, I’ve participated in Dry January. Well, actually, I took Dry January one step further in 2024 and decided to quit drinking altogether. I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made — the benefits are truly life-changing. While I don’t expect anyone to completely […]

Have you ever wondered how Hailey Bieber‘s skin always looks like a flawless pane of glass? I’ll let you in on a little secret: It has everything to do with peptides. This little ingredient helps skin cells create more collagen and elastin, keeping your complexion plump, smooth, youthful and wrinkle-free. Cool, right? Bieber is a […]

ICYMI: Leopard print is in again. Although, did it ever really go out of style? The sultry animal print has been a staple on runways for years. Plus, it speaks to the mob wife aesthetic that’s sweeping the fashion world. One of my favorite things about leopard print is it can make a major statement […]

One thing about perfume: It should make you feel empowered. And if it doesn’t, you might not be wearing the right scent! For Joanna “JoJo” Levesque — you know, the singer behind early 2000s hits like “Too Little, Too Late” and “Leave (Get Out)” — Tom Ford Ébéne Fumé Eau de Parfum has been the recent go-to […]

The new year and resolutions go hand in hand. Every year, I take time to write down goals I want to achieve and habits I want to improve. For the most part, I always follow through. Last year, I became a coffee-lover and quickly developed a dependence to that morning caffeine jolt. While I enjoy […]

Awards season has officially arrived! It kicked off with the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday night where “The Brutalist” and “Shogun” won big. But beyond the TV shows and movies that received high honors, we couldn’t get enough of the red carpet looks. The stars didn’t come to play — so many of them showed […]

I had to think long and hard about my New Year’s resolutions this year. I knew I wanted to make a change in my consumption habits, especially when it comes to fashion. I landed on supporting women-owned small businesses that prioritize giving back to their communities — and the first place I’m spending my hard-earned […]

Every year, the one item that tops my friends’ Christmas wish lists is a Dyson AirWrap. I always ask them if they realize there are other hair tools that essentially do the exact same thing for much less, but that conversation usually ends with them giving me a deer in the headlights look. Listen, I’m […]

I’ll admit I was a little late to the coffee game. It took me 27 years to start drinking a morning cup of joe — and then, my obsession set in pretty quickly. I’ve quickly built up a reliance on caffeine and the crashes hit me hard. In fact, my New Year’s resolution for 2025 […]

Imagine this: People are dressed to the nines, gathering together at their much-anticipated holiday party to cheeers a wonderful year. You’re probably picturing people clinking champagne glasses of, well, champagne, but the fact is that fewer people are drinking alcohol than ever before. Younger people are less likely to imbibe, but they’re not swapping a […]

While I’ve always been skeptical about celebrity skincare lines, I am a fan of celebrity fragrances. The industry has seen a major shake-up since the glory days (aka the early 2000s) when almost every famous person concocted their own noteworthy scent. There wasn’t much commotion in the celebrity fragrance space in the 2010s, but recently, there’s […]
