TRAVEL: BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN SEPTEMBER
September is an ideal time to travel — it’s the sweet spot between summer crowds and off-season calm—along with lower prices and cooler weather. Whether you prefer Italy’s Amalfi Coast or the fall in Nantucket, or exploring ancient treasures at Egypt’s newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, this month has something for every kind of traveler. Adventure-seekers might head to Kyrgyzstan or Jackson Hole, while culture lovers can hit Toronto for its film festival or Braemar, Scotland, for its literary gatherings. Wellness and wine more your thing? Bali’s peaceful energy and Sonoma’s grape harvest will do the trick. There is enough time to plan your September getaway.

BEAUTY: PICO LASER TREATMENTS ARE BECOMING POPULAR
Pico laser treatments have become super popular in the world of beauty & skincare since they can target so much at once. The laser itself uses ultra-fast bursts of light to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen, treating issues like acne scars, melasma, wrinkles, and tattoos with minimal heat + a reduced risk of inflammation. The precision is what makes them safe for all skin tones, so yes, deeper complexions don’t have to worry about burning. They also offer shorter recovery times compared to traditional lasers! If you deal with texture or scarring that’s caused deep pigmentation, ask your nearest cometic clinic if they have this laser & offer its treatments.

BUSINESS: WISHBONE KITCHEN WENT FROM CHEFFING IN A HAMPTONS HOUSE TO OWNING ONE
Just a few years ago, Meredith Hayden was waking up at 6 A.M. to cook elaborate meals as a private chef in the Hamptons—now, she owns her own home there, has millions of followers across social platforms, and just released her first cookbook, The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook. What started as grueling 17-hour workdays for a designer client turned into an online sensation, as Hayden brought her audience behind the scenes of real-life cheffing with humor, imperfection, and a lot of heart. Her content—from roasting chickens without a rack to grilling in protest of “Joe” monopolizing the BBQ—resonates with a younger, messier generation figuring out how to feed themselves (and maybe a friend or two). With her signature honesty and DIY dinner parties Hayden has become a relatable domestic role model—our modern-day Ina or Martha, but with a Bernese Mountain dog and a TikTok. Through recipe testing with friends, long nights editing videos, and a refreshing lack of perfectionism, she’s redefining what it means to be a home cook and creator. And as her platform grows beyond food into home, design, and lifestyle, Hayden’s message stays the same: it’s okay to mess up—as long as you enjoy the meal.

ON SUFFERING: “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” — Seneca

A lot of our stress and fear comes from overthinking + imagining worst-case scenarios, rather than from actual happenings. We anticipate pain, failure, or rejection before anything has even happened, which leads to unnecessary suffering. It’s really important to ground ourselves in the present and face reality as it is, rather than letting imagined fears dictate our emotions or decisions.
