WELLNESS: YEP, THIS HOT DOG TOPPING IS FABULOUS FOR YOUR GUT
Sauerkraut is a hot dog topping that’s not super common in the states, but other countries swear by it, and why not… it’s quite beneficial for gut health. Its fermentation process produces metabolitesβ€”like lactic acid and amino acidsβ€”that help preserve intestinal cell integrity and strengthen the gut barrier. Fermented foods like sauerkraut enhance gut microbial diversity + lower inflammation, supporting improved digestive function and overall wellness

FASHION: REFORMATION LAUNCHES ITS FIRST JEWELRY COLLECTION
Reformation just dropped its first-ever jewelry collection. Think recycled 24k gold, sterling silver, and brass reimagined into vintage-inspired rings, necklaces, earrings, and cuffs that feel timeless yet fresh. With prices starting at $128, these sustainably made pieces are the perfect way to elevate everyday denim or dressier looks, all while staying true to Ref’s chic, conscious ethos.

LIFESTYLE: YOUR PARENT(S) SHOULDN’T BE YOUR BEST FRIEND
Parentification is a psychological role reversal where kids take on adult responsibilitiesβ€”serving as their parent’s emotional support, propping up family finances, or managing tensions (which we see a lot on TV as that β€œcool mom” dynamic). Dr. Koslowitz, a psychologist, cautions that while these relationships may seem appealing, they can blur healthy boundaries, burden children emotionally, and lead to long-term anxiety. Some remedies include acknowledging the issue, going through therapy, and truly working on restoring appropriate parent-child roles.

IN COLLABORATION WITH

πŸ’§ Wellness, simplified. Stress less, hydrate moreβ€”with Quince.
You already love Quince for their elevated essentials. Their new wellness line is clean, effective, and (in true Quince fashion) thoughtfully priced.

Organic Daily Stress Support
Think of this as calm in capsule form. With four powerhouse ingredientsβ€”shatavari, ashwagandha, amla, and rhodiolaβ€”these supplements help your body balance cortisol, boost mood, and sharpen focus.

Everyday Hydration
Hydrate smarter, not harder. These travel-friendly electrolyte stick packs deliver 3x the electrolytes of leading sports drinks, minus the artificial ingredients. Naturally sweetened and perfectly tart, each stick blends sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc for hydration that actually works.

Both are made in the USA, produced to the highest standards, and backed by Quince’s 365-day money-back guarantee.

For too long, Opaline, Martha and Henry have been the side characters in their own lives. But when a vanishing bookshop casts its spell, these 3 unsuspecting strangers will discover that their own stories are every bit as extraordinary as the ones found in the pages of their beloved books. And by unlocking the secrets of the shelves, they find themselves transported to a world of wonder… where nothing is as it seems.

ON STYLE: Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak. β€” Rachel Zoe

Style goes beyond just clothingβ€”it’s a form of self-expression. The way you dress communicates your mood, values, and even confidence before you say a word. Being stylish isn’t about chasing trendsβ€”it’s about choosing pieces that reflect you while making you feel confident and authentic.
