FASHION: THIS 80’S STAPLE IS MAKING A RETURN
The pussy-bow blouse is making its return, but it looks pretty different this time around than when in the 80’s. It feels polished and confident rather than overly-romantic/retro when styled properly. If you’re a fan (or curious perhaps), try pairing it with sharp tailoring and simple, staple pieces.
WELLNESS: COMMON SWEETENER TURNS DEADLY
That “better-for-you” sweetener in your protein bar might deserve a second look. A new study suggests erythritol — commonly used in sugar-free products — could damage cells in the blood-brain barrier and interfere with blood vessel function, potentially raising the risk of strokes and heart issues. While more research is needed, it’s a reminder that sugar-free doesn’t automatically mean risk-free.
WORK LIFE: JOB HUNTERS ARE GETTING DESPERATE
For those who have been actively seeking a job, the entire process has become dreadful. So much so, that some are paying recruiters and career services just for a chance to be seen. With hiring slowing down and competition rising, employers hold more leverage which is causing more candidates to feel anxious and stretched.
IN COLLABORATION WITH
If you’ve ever stood in the vitamin aisle wondering what you actually need, meet the one that keeps it simple, Ritual’s Essential for Women. It’s designed to cover the nutrient gaps most of us miss—without fillers, fluff, or mystery ingredients.
Clinically studied to increase Vitamin D by 43% and Omega-3 DHA by 41% in just 12 weeks, this once-daily multivitamin supports brain function, bone health, and blood-building—all in two easy capsules. It’s vegan, allergen-free, and Made Traceable®, meaning you know exactly what’s in it and why it’s there.
Think of it as foundational health on autopilot. Take it daily. Don’t overthink it. (PS. It’s currently on sale for $27)
If your idea of a good night in includes suspicious glances over teacups and a murder that unravels slowly, Seven Dials is your next watch. Based on Agatha Christie’s classic, it starts with a country house party… and quickly spirals into secret societies, coded messages, and a very inconvenient dead body.
Pour something strong, silence your group chat, and see if you can solve it before the final reveal.
