LIVING: ELLEN’S COTSWOLDS HOME FOR SALE FOR $30M
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are officially putting down roots in the UK—and saying goodbye to one seriously dreamy farmhouse. After relocating to the English countryside last year, the couple has listed their newly renovated Cotswolds estate for $30 million. The 1700s-era property, which now includes a pub-style party barn, indoor pool, and gym, was updated in just five months with the help of 70 contractors. Why the move? Ellen says they wanted more space for Portia’s horses.

FASHION: PRINCESS DIANA AS A POSTER GIRL FOR SUMMER
Princess Diana’s vacation style in the ’80s and ’90s is the stuff of sun-soaked fashion dreams. From bold bikinis in the South of France to linen in Mallorca, her warm-weather wardrobe was equal parts glamorous and relaxed. These throwback photos will have you craving sunshine—and maybe a lemon-yellow jumpsuit.

WELLNESS: THIS MEDITATION APP IS OFFERING THERAPY & ITS AFFORDABLE
Headspace has expanded beyond guided meditation into “Therapy by Headspace,” providing virtual teletherapy sessions with licensed professionals across all 50 states, and get this, many are covered by health insurance! The service is integrated directly into the Headspace app, which makes booking, switching therapists, and accessing supplemental tools (like guided meditations and the AI companion) convenient. In private pay scenarios, therapy sessions can cost upwards of $149 each, but with this you pay little to nothing.

This is the gripping psychological thriller that you’re going to struggle putting down.
When Rose discovers the contents of her teenage diary splashed across the pages of a bestselling book, she knows her carefully constructed life is about to unravel. The author, Emily Harper, claims the story is fiction, but Rose knows better. Desperate to find out how Emily discovered her deepest secrets, Rose ingratiates herself into Emily's life, posing as an enthusiastic assistant and adoring fan. But as she gets closer to the truth, long-buried memories resurface. Slowly, the horrifying events of her teenage years come into focus, revealing that sometimes, the people you trust the most are the ones you should be most afraid of.

ON RESPECT: Respect is not about agreeing with everyone—it’s about recognizing their humanity, even when you don’t. — ANON

Being respectful doesn’t mean you have to share the same beliefs, choices, or opinions as others. It means you treat them with dignity, listen without judgment, and value their right to exist and express themselves. Respect builds trust, fosters open dialogue, and is the foundation of any healthy relationship—personal or professional.
