Was I influenced by the hairstyle of summer? Perhaps, but the truth is, my hair had also lost its mojo. My salon appointment came with a certain amount of fear (would I lose my sense of identity along with several inches of hair?), but ultimately, it was a revelation. Carefully guided by Adam Reed, the man who has overseen my cut and colour for the past 15 years, I entered my bob era, and I’m happy about it. But, I’ve had to relearn how to care for, style and experiment with my new hair.

I Just Got A Bob After Almost 20 Years With Long Hair. These Are The Products I Now Can’t Live Without

In Paris this past spring, I ventured to three pharmacies before I could find the iconic Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré. (Granted, my first stop was CityPharma, which is probably the most crowded spot for French beauty grabs.) It's one of the most covetable French moisturisers—one tube is sold every eight seconds!—so beloved by editors and makeup artists that many often stock up on multiples whenever they find themselves in a French pharmacy (or a few, as in my case).

A Sunscreen & Moisturizer Duo Saved My Skin on a Hot European Vacation

Is the sunscreen you're using leaving orange stains around the collars of white T-shirts and on other light-colored garments this summer? An ingredient found in many popular U.S. sunscreens could be to blame.Avobenzone, a chemical ingredient widely used in sunscreens to protect wearers from cancer-causing ultraviolet A rays (UVA), is the likely culprit behind rusty-looking marks some consumers have been complaining about on social media forums. Found in sunscreen products from a variety of brands sold at Target, CVS, REI and on Amazon.com, avobenzone can oxidize when mixed with iron-rich water, potentially causing discoloration to light-colored clothing and materials, stain experts, laundry companies...

In this economy, what makes a lip balm worthy of your wallet? Everyone loves a soft, hydrated pout, but is there truly any difference between a $5 tube of lip balm and a buzzy luxury one? TikTok would say yes, yes there is. The internet's latest lip obsession is Ole Henriksen's Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment, which has garnered a buzzy TikTok Shop sale, the stamp of approval from multiple content creators and celebrities, and has a mostly sold-out status across retail sites—all the makings of an It Balm.

Martha Stewart is currently galavanting around the Paris 2024 Olympics completing random side quests alongside Snoop Dogg. (I will never get over how random that friendship is.) She just turned 83 years old and looks ageless as ever—I pray to our lizard overlords that I ever look half that radiant. She’s not one to gatekeep, either, and a lot of her go-to products are very affordable. She does, however, splurge, as is evident by her Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Contour Cream Supreme.

Paris is having a moment. Okay, fine, the city is always a major player when it comes to culture and fashion, but this summer, it's more relevant than ever. There's the ever-popular Euro summer vlogs, a little thing called the Olympics, and, of course, the highly-anticipated fourth season of Emily in Paris. It's been almost two years since we were treated to a new season, and add in the fact that season three left off with several question marks, and we're hungrier than ever for Emily Cooper's (played by Lily Collins) shenanigans.

Lana Del Rey is typically pretty quiet on social media, so when the queen of coquette posts, we listen. For those not aware, Del Rey has been a fan of the feminine aesthetic since 2010, and has kept it a part of her signature style ever since. This applies to her nails, too. Her latest manicure was front and center on Instagram, and it's oh-so-coquette yet low-maintenance, and perfect to recreate at home.

We all know the feeling: After a long beach day, you head home and look in the mirror to discover that your hair has the perfect wave. The one that you can never seem to get just right at home, no matter how many products or hot tools you use. And you think to yourself: Why can't my hair look like this every day?

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are two of the biggest celebrities in modern times. While much of the happenings between the two involved their marriage and divorce, there are bigger things for them to focus on. Most notably their children.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Son Diagnosed With Rare Skin Condition

Time is rapidly running out to try every summer nail color trend before it finally ends — by any reasonable metric, there’s really only about a month left. So many celebrities have been gravitating toward the more demure crazes like soft French tips and neutral colors, but there are those dedicated to maximizing the season’s fun, freewheeling energy with brights, nail art, and interesting finishes. Like most great style muses, Eva Longoria falls somewhere in between. She largely sticks to chic, low-key shades, but still likes to mix it up with vibrant, summer-classic colors. Longoria’s hot pink nails, her latest look, are not only an exciting way to close out the season, but are an ideal choice for her glamorous beach vacation.

There I was, receiving a much-needed lesson in nail art from celebrity manicurist Rita Remark. After asking her to educate me on the most foolproof design for beginners (gradient nails, for sure, she says), I'm tasked with selecting three jelly shades for the tie-dyed effect. I pick an apricot orange, a creamy lavender, and a pearly petal pink. Remark approves. "I love how 'grandma' nail colors are having such a moment right now," she says once she starts painting.

This recipe is sooo tasty! It truly is for garlic lovers! It involves sautéing onions and mushrooms in butter and oil until golden, then adding wine to reduce. Garlic, thyme, and parsley are stirred in for flavor, followed by seasoning with salt and pepper. The dish is garnished with additional parsley and served warm, making for a savory, aromatic side. Here's what you'll need to make it:

In my eight years testing beauty products, I’ve concluded that some ultra-pricey skin care products are, in fact, worth the splurge. Nevertheless, shelling out a small fortune for an effective anti-aging moisturizer isn’t entirely necessary. The Azure Hyaluronic and Retinol Anti-Aging Day Cream, for instance, and its nighttime companion, the Azure Hyaluronic and Retinol Anti-Aging Night Cream, feature a handful of the same powerful plumping, smoothing ingredients you’d find in much pricier picks. In fact, many shoppers swear the formulas are on par with—if not more effective than—expensive creams they’ve tried. Better yet, the formulas are $9 apiece when you shop the brand's on-sale two-pack at Amazon.
