LIFESTYLE: THE MORNING ROUTINE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Mel Robbins’ six-step morning routine is designed to boost confidence and energy in just 15 minutes. You start by counting down from 5 when your alarm rings, rather than hitting the snooze button to avoid grogginess, then immediately make your bed to build a sense of accomplishment. When you’re brushing your teeth or doing your skincare, a quick high-five in the mirror will help reinforce self-encouragement, followed by drinking water to wake up naturally. Stepping outside for sunlight helps regulate the body’s internal clock, and a bit of movement gets the blood flowing, so that is your next set of things to do. These simple habits create a morning that fuels productivity and positivity. People are saying that sticking to this routine has become life changing!

FASHION: GHANAIAN DESIGNER IS MAKING HIS MARK IN HOLLYWOOD
Nana Kwame Adusei was influenced by his sisters' struggles with badly-fitting clothing, which shaped his mission to create inclusive designs. After studying at Vogue Style School of Fashion and Design in Accra, he launched his first brand, Ćharlotte Privé, before moving to LA in 2022 to expand his reach. His label gained recognition faster than expected, with celebs like Beyonce, Kylie Jenner, and Ciara wearing the pieces. Known for his draped, seam-free silhouettes that accommodate various body types, Adusei prioritizes both inclusivity and sustainability in his designs. His attention to detail, inspired by real women’s needs, sets his brand apart, with innovative pieces like the Kalle vest and Kafra button-down showcasing his commitment to functionality and style.

BUSINESS: REVOLVE IS OPENING A STORE IN LOS ANGELES
Revolve is making its mark at The Grove in Los Angeles with a permanent store set to open this fall. Originally launched as a holiday pop-up in November 2024, the 8,450-square-foot, two-story space saw high foot traffic and A-list celebrity visits, prompting the fashion retailer to establish a long-term presence. The store will feature a curated mix of Revolve’s best-selling brands, Fwrd exclusives, and rare vintage handbags, beauty, and home. Revolve plans to bring its digital-native brand to life with immersive events and activations, much like its past pop-ups, which included celebrity-hosted experiences and unique collaborations. Co-CEO Michael Mente sees the move as a natural evolution, allowing the brand to strengthen its physical retail strategy in a high-profile, globally recognized shopping destination.

This a romantic comedy from 2002 starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant. When George offers Lucy a job as his legal counsel—promising to save a beloved community center in return—she reluctantly accepts, believing she can create change from within. However, she quickly grows frustrated with George’s constant personal demands and resigns, only to realize she has fallen for him when he hires a new lawyer, June Carver, who seems eager to take her place in every way. Just as Lucy begins to confront her feelings, she discovers the Wade Corporation is making a decision that challenges her core values, forcing her to rethink everything. You can now watch this film on Netflix!
