Forget Coastal Grandma, This Is the Summer of Coastal French Girl
As temperatures begin to rise, it seems like every person on your Instagram feed suddenly becomes a travel influencer. Soon enough, their picturesque European vacation becomes their entire personality and they adopt European ideals, from mid-day cappuccinos to Frenchified fashion. There’s no need to have FOMO over their new je ne sais quoi lifestyle, though. You, too, can look as if you’ve been drinking wine in the French countryside without having to get on a plane. And who doesn’t adore that?

How to Wear Sequins and Shine Without Feeling So Extra
Sequins for the holidays sure isn’t groundbreaking. (Hello, Mariah Carey’s many disco-ball glam New Year’s Eve outfits!) But you know what is? Incorporating glitter into everyday outfits without feeling like ‘too much.’
Sure, sequins have long been associated with seasonal parties, and when they catch the light just so they do mimic holiday decorations. But there are a number of ways to style sparkly pieces for everyday wear that adds a bit of fun.

Elyse Fox Started a Club for Sad Girls and Now She Works With Selena Gomez
From the outside looking in, Elyse Fox was thriving. She had moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a filmmaker — and was actually succeeding. But her professional achievements were no match for an inner turmoil she was secretly braving.
“I had my dream job, I was making enough money to survive, and I was around a good crowd of people,” she explains. “But I was very unhappy. It was a shock because I thought I could just obtain or cross off all of these things on my manifestation list and that will equal success and happiness. I had to really look at myself and say, ‘If it’s not everything else around you, then it might be something else going on with you.’”

All These Celebrity Divorces Are Hurting My Feelings
Love is dead. Or at least that’s what last summer led us to believe. The season is supposed to be all about romantic walks on the beach, ice cream for two, and riding off into both the figurative and literal sunset—but it was filled with heartache, breakups, and hurt feelings (mostly mine).
Yes, I’m talking about all those celebrity divorce announcements. First, it was Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth, who announced their split in March 2023. Aside from being a wife, Reese is a boss businesswoman and a book adaptation queen (with a billion-dollar production company, to boot).

I Hate My Acne But I Still Love Myself
There I am, ugly crying on the floor of my dorm room (Olivia Rodrigo “Good 4 U” style). It’s Halloween, and the throbbing pimple smack dab in the middle of my nose has stopped me from donning my Cat Woman costume. That is, until I remember I can hide behind my coordinating mask. I didn’t remove the headpiece all night.
My junior prom was also nearly ruined by a cystic zit, one that gave me a headache and made me not want to pose for pictures. Perhaps the worst of them all were the hard, under-the-skin cysts that would sprout on my inner cheek and overstay their welcome by several weeks. A man at a makeup counter once told me my skin looked infected. Gee, thanks.
I Tried Acupuncture to Get Over a Breakup — And It Actually Worked
Breakups are never easy. Mine certainly wasn’t. After four years of an on-and-off-again toxic relationship, I was left feeling pretty lost once it officially ended. As someone who was diagnosed with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) at a young age, dwelling in the past is kind of my thing.
I thought I’d never come out of that dark place, but after a couple of years, things got better. I graduated college, moved to a major city (twice), and got a job at a fashion magazine.

It's Been 15 Years Since the Premiere of ‘Twilight’ — And the Film Is Still Good for My Mental Health
The year was 2008. It was a brisk (probably rainy) fall in Western Pennsylvania. I had just transferred schools during the most awkward time of my life. I was 11-years-old, entering the 6th grade, and on top of any run-of-the-mill teenage angst, I had recently been diagnosed with anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Great. I was the new kid with borderline-debilitating internal struggles, including depression, intrusive thoughts, guilt, and germaphobia.
