TRAVEL: SUMMER OF GLAMPING
Turns out, you don’t need to rough it to reconnect with nature. This summer, World of Hyatt and Under Canvas are redefining camping with chic glamping getaways—think cozy safari tents, private bathrooms, king-sized beds, and stargazing straight from bed. Whether you're craving a digital detox, a literary escape, or just a stylish reset under the stars, these luxury camps across the U.S. make unplugging feel downright indulgent—and yes, you’ll earn points while you’re at it.
LIFESTYLE: 60 SECOND BLINKING SLEEP HACK
If you’re tossing and turning at night, a simple trick of blinking super fast for 60 seconds might help you fall right into sleep. According to sleep experts, this is a TikTok-famous hack & actually works by tiring out your eye muscles and distracting your mind from racing thoughts—kind of like a mini meditation. Although it isn’t backed by formal studies, it’s a low-risk, calming strategy worth trying; bonus points if you pair it with a cold room + no technology before bed.
FASHION: DRESSING FOR A HIGH-STYLE EURO SUMMER
Escaping to Europe in the summer is basically a fashion fairytale—whether you're strolling through Rome or lounging along the French Riviera, the vibes (and the outfits) are immaculate. Style insiders say it's all about breezy lace dresses, versatile linen sets, and pops of color that go from beach to dinner with ease. From Pucci prints to polka dots and practical statement bags, the key is mixing comfort, chicness, and a little bit of dream-girl energy.
This 8-episode electric thriller limited series is about the terrible things that drive sisters apart and ultimately bring them back together. Chloe is a high-profile media executive, lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam and teenage son, Ethan. All this while her estranged sister Nicky struggles to make ends meet and stay clean. When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, reuniting the two sisters, as they try to untangle a complicated family history to discover the truth behind his death.

OUTDOOR REVAMP
ON GIRLHOOD: Girlhood is often a quiet revolution — a time when we begin to question, dream, and carry the weight of expectations before we even understand their shape. — ANON
It’s important to remember that girlhood isn’t just a phase of innocence, but a formative period. It can be quiet + gentle on the surface, it’s a time of internal change — emotionally, mentally, and socially. Girls start to see the world more clearly, notice inequalities, and develop identities amidst external pressures from culture, family, and society.
