WELLNESS: WHEN TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HEADACHES
Headaches are common, but recent stories from celebs like Gal Gadot highlight that, in rare cases, they can signal serious medical conditions such as blood clots or brain tumors. Headaches are generally categorized as primary, such as tension headaches and migraines, or secondary (which are caused by underlying medical issues like strokes or tumors). While most headaches aren’t life-threatening, doctors warn that symptoms like sudden severe pain, persistence in occurrence, neurological issues, and lack of response to pain relievers can indicate a more serious issue. Experts recommend notating the frequency, rating the pain on a scale, and jotting down specific symptoms.

FASHION: BALLET PINK FOR SPRING 2025
Ballet pink is the chic accessory trend for Spring 2025. This soft, romantic hue was a standout on the runways, with brands like Ferragamo and Simone Rocha embracing its timeless elegance through ballet-inspired flats, tutus, and flowing tulle. The beauty of ballet pink is in its versatility—acting as a subtle neutral that flatters most complexions and complements a variety of looks. Whether you’re elevating a sleek ponytail with a crystal barrette, defining your waist with a peony-colored belt, or letting a pale rose pump pop against an all-black outfit, ballet pink is the perfect way to add a soft, sophisticated touch to your wardrobe this season. Try it for Spring, you may just love it!

BEAUTY: THE LASHES THAT K-BEAUTY HAS POPULARIZED
Point lashes are a minimalist lash trend popular in Korea that the makeup girlies in the states are picking up now. The point lashes focus on definition and length rather than volume, to create a spaced-out, pointed look. This style can either be achieved through lash extensions or by using mascara and then pinching the lashes together with tweezers for a spiked effect. K-beauty makeup artists also customize strip lashes by cutting them into smaller clusters and removing some hairs for a more defined appearance. Unlike voluminous lashes, point lashes suit all eye shapes by providing a subtle yet eye-opening effect without overwhelming the eyes. And although the spiked look may not be for everyone, some people have said that their monolid eyes look more refreshed with these lashes!

Emily Henry has a new release titled Great Big Beautiful Life and it’s been named the Most Anticipated book of 2025 by The New York Times. Two writers—optimist Alice Scott and brooding Pulitzer Prize-winner Hayden Anderson—find themselves on Little Crescent Island, competing for the chance to write the biography of the elusive Margaret Ives, a former tabloid princess and heiress to one of the most scandalous families of the 20th century. Margaret, now an octogenarian, gives them a one-month trial period, offering each only fragments of her story—pieces they can’t share due to strict NDAs. As Alice fights to prove herself and Hayden unexpectedly sees her as real competition, their rivalry is complicated by a growing attraction and the realization that Margaret’s tale, much like their own, could unfold as a mystery, tragedy, or love story—depending on who tells it. You can preorder the title now.

ON GROWTH: There is nothing lost if we learn something from it. Your willingness to fail is proportionate to your potential to gain, and to grow. The timer never stops running. All you will regret is not reaching harder for the things you actually wanted, while they were still in front of you. — Brianna Wiest
