WELLNESS: DOES EARTHING WORK?
“Earthing” or connecting directly with the earth by walking barefoot or lying on grass (AKA grounding), is being hailed online as a wellness hack that can supposedly reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and improve sleep. But according to experts, the research is limited and often tied to companies selling grounding products, meaning the science isn’t solid just yet. Still, stepping outside and unplugging from screens definitely will provide mental clarity and calm.

BEAUTY: SHOULD YOU STOP USING EYEBROW GEL?
Apparently, your brow gel might be doing more harm than good. Experts say those glue-like formulas can clog hair follicles, leading to shedding and thinning over time (basically, brow sabotage in a tube). Treat your brows like your scalp—ditch harsh gels, cleanse them regularly, and opt for lightweight, conditioning formulas that lift and shape without wrecking your arches.

LIFESTYLE: IS HAVING A BOYFRIEND EMBARRASSING NOW?
The internet’s collective eye-roll at “boyfriend content” is pretty much pointing at a cultural shift; where having a partner once boosted a woman’s social status, it’s now seen as almost cringe. A lot of women are opting for soft launches or no posts at all…part superstition, part rebellion against the idea that being partnered defines them. In a world that now romanticizes independence, being single isn’t a failure story anymore—it’s a flex, signaling agency and a quiet rejection of the old heteronormative script.

Frankenstein, reimagined by Guillermo del Toro, breathes new life into the classic tale of creation, loneliness, and morality. Expect haunting visuals, emotional depth, and del Toro’s signature touch — where monsters are never just monsters, and beauty hides in the dark.

The Dunewood Flannel — Buttery soft and made from 21 recycled bottles. Perfect for coffee runs, leaf-peeping, or “accidentally” borrowing for yourself.

The Saltaire Hoodie — That perfectly broken-in feel you’ll want to steal the moment it comes out of the wash. Made with organic cotton and recycled materials for that lived-in, coastal vibe.

Moisturizers are essential for a healthy skin barrier: they hydrate, protect, and prevent water loss. With more people becoming aware of harmful ingredients in skincare, finding clean, effective, and safe face moisturizers is a top priority. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, we’ve rounded up the top non-toxic moisturizers that hydrate, nourish, and protect — without compromising your health. Say goodbye to parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances, and hello to clean beauty that delivers results.

ON LOVE: Love isn’t about finding someone who completes you—it’s about finding someone who reminds you that you were whole all along.

Love is something that adds to your life rather than fills a void. It’s easy to romanticize the idea that someone else will make you complete, but that mindset puts your happiness in another person’s hands. Real love recognizes that you already have your own identity, purpose, and wholeness—it simply mirrors it back to you. The right person doesn’t fix or finish you; they remind you of your own strength, and help you see yourself more clearly.
