In the quest to forge healthy habits, we all too often start off with lofty goals just to lose steam relatively quickly. (Case in point: An estimated 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail across the board, with most people giving up by January 19.) Rather than going for the proverbial gold only to risk dropping out of the race, it can be in your best interest to recognize and keep up with a few healthy habits that are probably in your routine already. Take, for instance, stocking up on a bunch of bananas during your weekly grocery haul. Munching…

Explore the SHOP There’s no two ways about it: Rain showers bring the need for a pair of rain boots. While most rain boots will do their job—to keep feet warm and dry—I’ve long wished for an option that was comfortable enough (and stylish enough) to become my everyday waterproof…
In the ever-evolving world of skin care, where countless products promise miracles and instant transformations, I decided to pursue a rather unconventional path that completely reshaped my approach to beauty. Four years ago, I made the audacious decision to bid farewell to face washes. Little did I know that this seemingly radical choice would unveil a natural, radiant complexion I hadn’t seen in years. My journey into the realm of face wash liberation began with a realization that my skin had succumbed to the harsh effects of over-cleansing. It had become a dull, lifeless landscape, stripped of its natural oils…
Pretty much everyone who’s ever attempted contouring has some horror story they could tell—from not blending well enough so the product is still clearly visible on your cheekbones to following the wrong tutorial so you end up looking more scared than snatched. If you’ve always been secretly afraid to learn how to contour after a failed attempt or from witnessing the endeavors of others, 2024 is your year to try again—but this time with the guidance of Elena Duque, an esthetician and certified makeup artist. But before you attempt this technique, it’s important to understand what contouring actually does to…
Much like a cosmic fairy godmother, Jupiter is known in astrology as the great “benefic.” Its planetary meaning is all about luck, expansion, and more-is-more energy, which it sprinkles like fairy dust upon whichever zodiac sign it’s currently occupying. Ever since May 16, that blessed sign has been Taurus, which will continue to have Jupiter’s support until May 25, 2024, at which point the planet will move into Gemini for the remainder of the year—and that means Taurus and Gemini get celebrity astrologer Susan Miller’s designation as the luckiest zodiac signs of 2024. If you’re a Taurus or a Gemini,…
Tis the season of giving… germs and viruses, that is. Is it something in the air or does seemingly everyone catch a cold the moment temperatures drop below 60ºF? According to science, you’re not wrong. Indeed, wintertime is often fraught with sniffles, sneezes, and sickness (hi, flu season). But this may be no coincidence after all: research shows that cold, flus, and other respiratory illnesses are statistically even more prevalent come this time of the year. So, how can we prevent the almost inevitable wintertime cold from getting the best of us? Ahead we’re sharing several science-backed ways to boost…
