LIFESTYLE: JEN ATKIN ON BEING BOLD
Jen Atkin — the hairstylist behind everyone from the Hadids to J.Lo — is opening up about confidence, career lessons, and what people always get wrong about hair extensions. Now running two beauty brands (Ouai and Mane) and serving as Bellami’s global ambassador, she’s come a long way from studying Allure to find her first salon job. In her latest chat, she dishes on building an empire, embracing bold choices (yes, even breakup bangs), and hints at a new Ouai launch that’s still under wraps.

FASHION: THE NEWEST QUIET-LUXURY FOOTWEAR IS HERE
Moccasins are quietly reclaiming their spot in the fashionable footwear spotlight. Throughout the years, they’ve been seen as classic or understated, but now they’re resurfacing with modern twists — chunkier soles, luxe leather, bold colors… turning a timeless silhouette into a fresh go-to for fall. If you’re thinking about updating your shoe game, a pair of moccasins might just give you effortless style that’s comfortable, versatile, and now more on-trend than ever.

REAL ESTATE: WHAT THE HOUSING MARKET WILL LOOK LIKE IN 2026
Redfin says 2026 could finally be the “reset” the housing market has been waiting for — not a crash, not a boom, but a slow crawl back toward sanity. Expect slightly lower mortgage rates, slower home-price growth, and a small uptick in people actually buying homes again. But affordability won’t magically fix itself: more adults will still team up as roommates or delay big life moves, even as AI-powered shopping and a wave of refinancing reshape how we navigate the market.

If you read the book, you know this psychological thriller will keep you at the edge of your seat. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end. BTW this releases to theaters on Friday, December 19th.

Adaptogenic supplements, skincare, and powerful blends which all combine plant-based ingredients + “clinical actives” may sound too good to be true, but Moon Juice is the dream.

ON CONTROL: You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius

Focus on what you can actually influence — your reactions, choices, and mindset — instead of exhausting yourself over everything you can’t. When you shift your energy inward, life feels a lot less chaotic and a lot more manageable.
