My smile is one of my favorite attributes, but that wasn’t always the case. During my pre-teen years, braces completely transformed my life, helping my confidence skyrocket and allowing me to feel beautiful for the first time. 14 years later, I still wear my retainers every night and do everything I can to maintain my […]

I have a confession to make: I’m a total lip product hoarder. My friends and I have a running joke where they guess how many lipsticks, liners and glosses I have in my purse at any given time. More often than not, the number tops 15 (seriously). Even with that many options at my disposal, […]

If you’re on the beauty side of TikTok (aka BeautyTok), chances are you’ve seen someone swipe a pretty pink stone or jade roller across their face. This isn’t just a trendy thing that the beauty influencers do. The practice is actually an ancient Chinese healing technique that improves circulation, and, when done regularly, could help […]

There’s no denying that sandals are a summer staple, but would it kill shoe companies to make them more comfortable? When I wear slides or flip flops out and about, I often have to drag myself home because my feet are in so much pain — and I know I’m not the only one this […]

Few busy moms believe they have adequate time to complete their skincare routine every day, so most of the time they bypass it completely. Carey Mulligan is here to tell you how important it is to take that time for yourself. Moms often drop everything for everyone else, but taking the time to complete your […]

I have a confession to make: I’m lazy when it comes to fashion. That’s really weird to say considering I went to fashion school (shout-out to FIT!), but truthfully, I prefer wearing comfortable clothes over flaunting the latest trends most days. Beyond prioritizing comfort, I find it to be such a drag trying to pair […]

Millie Bobby Brown is one of those stars who literally grew up in front of our eyes. I still picture her as young Eleven in Stranger Things, and it took me a few moments to fully recognize the now mature young actress in her recent Vogue Get Ready With Me video. At 20 years old, she definitely […]

I never had issues with insomnia . . . until I started working for myself. Don’t get me wrong, there are so many perks to being my own boss — like making my own schedule and only taking on fulfilling projects — but oftentimes I find that inspiration sparks later in the evening, which results […]

While rich and heavy skincare products have their time and place (ahem, mainly in the cold winter months), 99% of the time I want something that is going to feel weightless on my skin and provide noticeable, clinically-backed results. So far, my search has been nearly fruitless, especially when it comes to vitamin C serums […]

Packing for any trip is such a slog, and nothing is worse than when you arrive at your destination only to realize that the items you neatly packed away are a wrinkled mess. Sure, many hotels have irons in their rooms, but having to treat your clothes takes away from precious vacation time. There is […]

Okay, so flowers for spring might not necessarily be groundbreaking, but there’s a reason why they resurface as one of the top fashion trends year after year. The pretty, uplifting patterns signify fresh, positive and carefree energy, so as the days start to get longer and brighter, it only makes sense for your outfits to […]

Spring has officially sprung! With brighter days ahead, chances are you’ll be taking advantage of the great weather by staying outside for long stretches of time. On those marathon days, nothing is more important than what’s on your feet. (Nothing kills the mood quite like sore soles.) Take this as your sign to upgrade your […]

I’m very particular about my footwear — especially when it comes to house shoes. Living in New York City, my apartment is strictly a shoe-free zone. (I refuse to track city street grime into my home!) Still, I don’t always enjoy traipsing around barefoot. I believe my feet deserve a little luxury, whether it’s stepping […]

The days are getting longer and the weather is finally warming up — which means spring is finally here! If you haven’t yet, it’s prime time to start shifting your wardrobe for the joyful, brighter days ahead. It’s only natural to see fashions shift towards pastels, but if you’re not a huge fan of color, […]

There are a few things that Bethenny Frankel always travels with. In a recent TikTok, the business mogul revealed that she never leaves for a trip without a few select items — including cuticle oil, perfume, calming supplements and perhaps the most important, hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer seems like a no-brainer. It’s smart for everyone to carry around, […]

It baffles me how some of Hollywood’s elite manage to keep up with their busy lifestyles — especially when they have children. I simply can’t imagine zipping around the world to attend press events and film movies while taking care of little ones. There simply isn’t enough time in the world! Still, superstar moms somehow […]

After years of keeping a relatively low profile, Lindsay Lohan is back and better than ever. The actress has been busy filming a few Netflix movies — including Irish Wish, which just premiered — and she recently stepped into the new role of being a mom. Needless to say, she’s been booked and busy balancing […]

Spring has officially sprung, and with the new season comes a ton of fresh beauty launches. This March, there’s been no shortage of game-changing newness, including a spot treatment that makes pimples disappear overnight, a hair serum that helps your mane grow super thick and even a moisturizer that tightens your skin so you look younger […]

I absolutely hate putting outfits together — that’s why my closet is stocked with two-piece sets. These stylish outfits are an effortless way to look fresh and stylish. All you have to do is pick out your shoes and accessories! As the weather heats up, I plan on adding more sets to my wardrobe. From […]

In my eyes, warm-weather clothes are unmatched. I just feel infinitely lighter and more carefree when I wear a flouncy shirt, slinky silk dress or any white garment. That said, despite all the positives of spring and summer fashions, there’s one small downfall: Many of the trends — whether it be the delicate fabric, strappy […]
