WELLNESS: PEPTIDE STACKING FOR FITNESS
“Peptide stacking” is TikTok’s latest gym hack—people mix multiple peptide supplements (pills, powders, even injections) to chase muscle gains, fat loss, and faster recovery. Experts say some peptides have promise, but DIY stacking is risky: supplements aren’t FDA-regulated, dosing is guessy, and copying an influencer’s routine can backfire. If you’re curious, loop in a clinician—and remember the biggest wins still come from sleep, protein, and consistent training.

BEAUTY: WHEN IS RHODE COMING TO SEPHORA?
If you’ve been eyeing Hailey Bieber’s cult-favorite Rhode lineup, then you know you can snag it straight from the brand’s site—or even through Instagram and TikTok shops. The big news? Rhode is making its way to Sephora this fall, with shelves to be stocked in the U.S, Canada, and later the U.K. No word yet on exactly which products will make the cut, but we’re betting the Glazing Milk will fly first.

FASHION: PUCCI GIRL SUMMER
“Pucci Girl Summer” is everywhere right now—but the Italian label’s bold, geometric prints have been a vacation staple since the ’40s, earning founder Emilio Pucci the nickname “Prince of Prints.” After years of quiet luxury, fashion is craving color: rentals and searches for Pucci have skyrocketed (helped by a Hailey Bieber sighting), proving the vibe feels both nostalgic and fresh. Not too late to join in—rent a piece for a fraction of retail or mix one punchy print into your everyday if it truly feels like you.

A retired intelligence operative haunted by her son's premature death returns to spy craft and allies to unravel the mystery. While navigating old ghosts and dangers, she must balance justice for her son with learning who he really was. The original show is filmed in Italian but you can play it in English or utilize subtitles when watching on Netflix.

ON SELF CARE: Self-care is not a luxury; it’s the maintenance plan for your mind, body, and spirit. — ANON

A lot of us often treat self-care like a reward for getting through a hard week, but in reality, it’s the routine “oil change” that keeps you running smoothly. Similar to how you wouldn’t wait for your car to break down before tending to it, you shouldn’t wait for burnout before tending to yourself. Daily acts—whether that’s setting boundaries, taking a mindful walk, or just breathing deeply—can seriously help sustain your energy and resilience over the long haul.
