• weekly favorites:

LIFESTYLE: YOU MAY ALREADY BE MEDITATING WITHOUT KNOWING
If you’ve ever sat & watched people, you actually already are partaking in meditation (crazy, we know). It’s a way to be present and grounded without the pressure of traditional techniques like sitting there in silence, although that’s a separate skill to master. By observing the world around you without judgment or any additional thoughts, you calm your mind and shift focus from inner chatter to simple & curious awareness.

FASHION: FLANNEL IS BACK FOR 2026
Yes, flannel is back—but in 2026 it’s getting a glow-up. Fashion people are skipping jeans and pairing flannel shirts with tailored trousers instead, which makes the look feel polished rather than lumberjack-coded. Think of flannel as your new button-down: warmer, more interesting, and surprisingly chic when styled with sharp pants, loafers, and a great coat.

BEAUTY: THIN HAIR? TRY THIS
Layered haircuts are one of the easiest ways to give thin hair more movement and the illusion of fullness, because no layers make it difficult for hair to look full/voluminous. The right layering adds shape and lift without sacrificing length, especially when paired with soft styling that keeps things light rather than flat. Think subtle, strategic layers that make hair look healthier, thicker, and more dynamic overall.

IN COLLABORATION WITH

With the belief that quality products can elevate your life, especially when they’re sustainably made & affordably priced, Quince is changing the game. From cashmere sweaters and bracelets, to travel necessities and vitamins, they’re a one stop shop when you’re ready to invest in yourself.

If you’re not already watching Tell Me Lies, consider this your nudge. The drama is messy, addictive, and unsettling in the way only a truly toxic love story can be. Set across eight years, it follows Lucy and Stephen’s on-again, off-again relationship—cheating, manipulation, and narcissism included—and somehow still convinces you to root for people making objectively terrible decisions.

Season 3 just came out on Hulu.
