BEAUTY: HAILEY BIEBER’S NEW LAUNCH & LIFE
Hailey, now 27 and a new mother, has maintained her commitment to skincare despite life changes. Her brand Rhode is launching Barrier Butter, a rich nighttime moisturizer designed for "slugging" - sealing in moisture overnight. This product contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, and is suitable for sensitive skin. The brand is also planning to release new Lip Cases in fall colors. Despite her busy year, which included launching viral Pocket Blushes, Bieber is looking forward to cozy fall moments with her family, particularly her baby.

FASHION: BARREL JEANS, YAY OR NAY?
Barrel-leg jeans have emerged as this season's undeniable trend. Some love them and think they’re super flattering, others think they’re anything but that. Although they look a bit controversial at first (especially after Alaïa's dramatic 2023 runway interpretation), these jeans have proven to be surprisingly flattering for various body types, particularly complementing the hourglass figure. They're versatile enough to be dressed up with kitten heels and a blazer or down with sneakers and a simple t-shirt, making them a practical addition to any wardrobe.

LIFESTYLE: CANCELING SUBSCRIPTIONS IS GOING TO GET EASIER
The Federal Trade Commission has finalized a "click-to-cancel" rule aimed at simplifying the process of canceling unwanted subscriptions and services. This new regulation, requires companies to make cancellation as straightforward as sign-up, potentially saving consumers both time and money. Under the rule, businesses must provide easily accessible cancellation methods matching the sign-up process, such as online cancellation for online subscriptions. FTC Chair Lina Khan emphasized that this measure will eliminate deceptive practices that trap consumers into unwanted payments.

Most people who listen to Hallelujah say it gives them chills & that feeling in their stomach, regardless of the mood they’re in. It may be the vocals, the light melody, or the Twilight vibes it gives off.

ON PERSPECTIVE: Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life — Joni Eareckson Tada

Your perspective on something can truly make or break the experience, dictate your emotional status, and manipulate the memories you create in relation to it. A consistently positive perspective isn’t sustainable, but aiming to try and look at the glass half full can help in tough situations.

BOSTON

EAT: Start your day at Tatte Bakey & Cafe for breakfast or brunch (weekends only). They also have a gluten free menu. If you like seafood, you must dine at Neptune Oyster where they serve lobster, many types of oysters, and clams. The restaurant is intimate and finding a seat at the counter can be tricky but worth the wait. Sarma is a great option for dinner where you can order multiple small plates of Turkish food.

STAY: For a luxury stay, consider the Four Seasons Boston located right next tothe Public Garden. The guest rooms were redone in 2019. The Newbury is another 5 star hotel which opened in 2021 and is located in Back Bay, one of the high-end neighborhoods in Boston. The Whitney Hotel is located in Beacon Hill and is a 65-room boutique style hotel. Each room is beautiful and will make you feel like you’re at home.

DO: The Boston Public Library is stunning — check it out. The Boston Public Garden was established in 1837, making it the first public botanical garden in America. If you visit during the Autumn, you’ll want to book the Orchard Visit. Starting in February, you can watch a Red Sox game.
