Self care can mean a lot of things, but for a beauty junkie, it often means one thing in particular: doing a face mask. Sure, there can be a bubble bath (or wine!) involved, but at the bare minimum, a treatment that’s left on skin for ten to fifteen minutes can feel downright luxurious on […]
ed note: When we heard that our friend, Tara Miko, was headed to Tulum to dine at the once-in-a-lifetime Noma pop-up, we begged her to capture it all and report back. Here she shares the highlights, the food porn, and everything you need to know about traveling Tulum, even if a table at Noma’s not on your agenda. […]
Oh, bronzer: what a torrid relationship we’ve had with you. From the heavy-handed days of the early aughts to recent days of being bronzer-phobic lest we all look like Paris Hilton, you’ve set a healthy dose of fear in our hearts. Thankfully though, if you’re one of those who shied away from this product in the […]
First thing’s first, y’all: What exactly constitutes a mule? When I posed that question to team the other day, we quickly realized that while we’re all talking about and shopping for the season’s hottest shoe, we all also have really differing ideas about what a mule actually looks like. After hours of research (i.e. online shopping), I came to […]
I’d like a show of hands: does anyone actually manage to stick to the recommended six to eight weeks between color appointments? No? If you’re anything like me, six to eight months can go by (okay, maybe not quite that much, but still) before you realize that your hair is basically screaming for a trip […]
The idea of toting a straw bag to the beach is nothing new. This year, however, we’re seeing woven bags venture out of the sand and into, well, just about everywhere. From dressier clutches to casual cross-bodies, it seems all our favorite bag shapes have been given beachy make-unders that make them perfect for summer […]
As we emerge from a long (way too long, right?) winter, I for one have my complexion on my mind—specifically, how to get the appearance of health back after the cold, dark days stole my skin’s mojo. My regimen has consisted of adding a face oil under my day lotion, upping my water intake, and, […]
Editor’s note: A couple years ago, Adina Grigore shared with us these 6 Recipes for Beautiful Skin from her first book, and to this date, it remains one of my favorite beauty stories of all time. The simple ingredient combinations and vibrant photos instantly made me want to call up my best girlfriends for an impromptu slumber party and […]
featured image from j. crew March, y’all. March! Can you believe it? The new month feels especially out-of-turn here in Texas, where the winter season was so brief and sporadic, that I didn’t even get the chance to wear half the outerwear in my closet. Then again, there are worse things in the world than the […]
During the last few days of the year, we’re thinking about the goals that will help us become better in 2017. Whether you’re the type of person who picks one resolution and dedicates all of her energy to it, or the girl who writes down three to five resolutions to keep in mind throughout the year, I encourage you all […]
Okay, so maybe a scented candle isn’t the most original gift, but c’mon: have you ever met a person who didn’t love receiving one? Especially when said candle has the coolest packaging, is made of clean-burning soy wax, and lasts for 60 (or more) hours. We polled our beauty council members to find out which scented […]
We’re always looking for really good hostess gifts to keep on hand during the holidays. You never know when you’ll get the impromptu invite to the in-laws or the boss’s home, and mom taught us better than to show up empty-handed. That said, the most elegant hostess gifts don’t have to be the most expensive ones. We’ve […]
