Things, Stuff, Wonderful, Lovely!
In the early days of Katy Perry’s pop career, nearly jet-black hair was her go-to look (with the occasional colorful wig as an exception). In 2017, she abandoned the dark hair for a platinum blonde style that has since become her signature shade. Since then, she’s flirted with color, like a bright pumpkin-orange wig, but…
Look, I know that ABC’s The Bachelor franchise is not the place anyone should go to observe socially responsible behavior — this is the program that forces people to compete for a marriage with a person they barely know, after all. But I watch it every week regardless, often finishing an episode feeling enthralled by…
[ad_1] In 2018, Yale professor Laurie Santos introduced a new course, “Psychology and the Good Life,” to address the growing mental health needs of students on campus.

Wanna feel old? The Chrissy Teigen “Headband of the Day” phenomenon was nearly three years ago. My, my, my, how the world has changed! But one thing apparently hasn’t changed: the model, TV host, and social media mayor’s love for hair accessories. For those who don’t remember: In the summer of 2018, Teigen started documenting…

As beauty writers and editors, our standards are high (sometimes unrealistically so) when it comes to foundation, as this one product can lay the groundwork for all other makeup. As much as we love a good no-makeup day, our skin doesn’t always agree. But not all foundations can get the job done without creasing, caking,…
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. And typically, this means waiting until the eleventh hour to buy a gift, praying to the ecommerce gods that it arrives on time, and hoping your special someone likes it. Unfortunately, fitness folk are often hard to please. We pay attention to what we eat, we have particular preferences for…
[ad_1] The winning photograph of the Underwater Photographer of the Year 2021 contest is a testament to the power of conservation. “This is a picture of hope, a glimpse of what the ocean can be like when we give it a chance.” So said the judges announcing the winner of the Underwater Photographer of the…
Of all the beauty products in the world, full-coverage foundation is, without a doubt, the hardest for makeup brands to get right. Too often, coverage is valued over texture or finish, resulting in a final product that conceals everything but ends up looking like a cake-y, dried-out mask. Not cute. In the name of solidarity…
As the beauty industry continues to grow faster than ever before, we are seeing the release of new product innovations every season, every month, and sometimes it can feel like every day.
