[ad_1] The wild world of friendship breakups. A universal experience, they transcend age, gender, and culture. And every time, they do two things: relinquish negative energy and unveil something we didn’t know about ourselves. As one door closes, another one opens. So yes, friendship breakups can actually be a good thing. But that doesn’t mean […]

[ad_1] In 2022, I interviewed Duke women’s basketball coach Kara Lawson about a wildly popular pep talk she gave her team. When I asked Lawson why she thought her words touched so many, she answered with casual certainty: “Honestly, I think people miss being coached.” That sentiment got me thinking: After a certain time in […]

[ad_1] When it comes to my nails, I usually play it safe. Like any pre-teen with a penchant for Nirvana and thick black eyeliner, when I first started wearing nail polish, I only wore black. I rocked the patron manicure of angsty teens for years, baring my chipped and bitten nails with pride. Eventually, I […]

[ad_1] One of my favorite memories from growing up is how intentional my mom was with creating traditions. On Valentine’s Day, she hosted a little crafting party for our friends. Christmas meant cookie baking and tree hunting complete with hide-and-go-seek and ice cream (if that doesn’t say Texas winter). And for Easter, she always organized basket hunting on […]

[ad_1] One of my favorite sources of sartorial inspiration is when photographer Jamie Beck goes to the market. Jamie left the hustle of New York City for an achingly beautiful life in Provence, and every weekend she visits the market with her daughter, Eloise.

With endless options, it takes a lot for a pizza to achieve standout status, but there’s […]

Or maybe, you’re keen on switching from birth control to natural family planning. At any rate, you’re ready to learn how to balance hormones. Welcome! You’ve come […]

[ad_1] On any given week, oats are in frequent rotation. Baked, soaked overnight, loaded with superfoods—we don’t discriminate. On busy mornings, they save the day. When we’re out of flour, a blitz in the blender does the trick. As an economical, shelf-stable pantry item, we always have oats on hand. Thanks to their versatility, we’re […]

[ad_1] Supplements are a hot topic in the health world, and experts still disagree about their efficacy. Despite the unknowns, one vitamin in particular, tends to make it on every list of sought-after supplements due to its scientifically proven effects on the body. Whether it’s used to fight a stubborn cold or brighten your complexion, […]

[ad_1] By now, you’ve likely heard of buccal fat removal. And if you’re a fellow self-proclaimed beauty lover with a penchant for falling into Internet rabbit holes — you know too much about buccal fat at this point. In layman’s terms: buccal fat is the specific pocket of your cheek between your cheekbones and jaw […]
