We looked like any other Korean family—except my sister and I gave it away with our American swagger in our Tommy Hilfiger zip-ups and Jansport backpacks, pinching our nostrils like clothespins. “What’s…

Moroccanoil struck gold in 2008 with the launch of its Hair Treatment, but the lineup has since expanded well beyond its original claim-to-fame. Today, you’ll…

(You’re long overdue.) Perhaps you’re headed to Paris. Or somewhere more remote, like Bali or the Maldives. You’ll need an outfit for every occasion—dressy, casual—rain or shine. Spring fragrance trends are similar to the pieces you toss into your luggage: They’re flexible, fitting…

The Kardashians star debuted a caramel-tinted blonde back in 2009 and fans are still talking about it today. If it was one of your faves, you’re in luck, because Kardashian just brought it back—if only for a moment, anyway! The Skims…

Seventeen years later, a lighter iteration called the Moroccanoil Treatment Mist landed on my desk—and the timing couldn’t have been better. Why? A few weeks ago, a tiny voice in my head whispered, “Go get bangs.” As someone…

That information didn’t take away any of the excitement—the instantly recognizable halo-haired figure skater delivered a practically perfect routine with an unparalleled level of chill. But for the…

It was a simpler time, full of real, unencumbered joy (probably because I had no concept of bills or current events). Fast-forward to more than a decade later: In spring 2026, life…

The prismatic, shape-shifting manicure style, which is created with the help of a special magnet, is easily customizable and can be soft and subtle or bright and vivid. Demi Lovato’s latest set is the perfect example…

I quickly became well-acquainted with the condition—swollen veins in the anus and lower rectum—thanks to the pressure from my growing uterus and baby. By two months postpartum, I was scraping the bottom of…

You know, the British model and actress who dated Hugh Grant and wore giant gold Versace safety pins held in place by panels of black fabric. (And that is my offensively reductive biography of Liz Hurley for those who didn’t…
