Running isn’t easy (or fun at times), but there are ways to make it more enjoyable. The most important thing to do? Select a shoe that will adequately support your arches. Whether you have flat, high or normal arches, the right shoe can make all the difference in your performance, endurance and speed. We found […]

You don’t need to be rich or famous to experience a Hollywood-level tan nowadays. In fact, you don’t even need to step foot into a spray tan salon to get a glow that rivals the stars. All you really need is an Amazon account and $20 to spare. And even though you’re probably daydreaming about […]

In a perfect world I’d never have to wear a bra. Realistically, that’s just not possible in certain situations. I can get away with ditching the undergarment throughout the winter because most of my sweaters are bulky and modest enough, but the same can’t be said for some of my favorite summer clothes. Once the […]

Summer is the best time of year for multiple reasons — the weather is better, the vibes are higher and the most anticipated beauty products are dropping! Whether you’re looking for an all-over glow serum, in search of a captivating fragrance or need something to revive your hair, we’ve got you covered. If the new […]

“I’m walking on sunshine” may be how the song goes, but honestly, I’d rather be walking on clouds. Life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes. Your soles should be treated to cushiony comfort every step of every day. That’s why we found the plushest shoes that will envelop your feet in nothing but pillowy […]

Gone are the days of having to sacrifice comfort for style! Just five years ago it was rare to find shoes that were both stylish and comfortable, but now you can get both! One brand leading the pack is Allbirds, the sustainable shoe brand that is constantly reinventing footwear. Celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, are constantly seen wearing […]

I have a love-hate relationship with shorts. I love being able to show off my legs, but I often end up with brush burns as my thighs rub together. With the resurgence of Bermuda shorts and other longer styles, I finally feel comfortable wearing long shorts, and honestly, I’ll never look back. The longer short […]

Who says one-piece bathing suits can’t be flirty and fun? I’m here to challenge that notion, because some of my favorite (and most complimented) swimsuits are one-pieces. Say so long to the days where one-pieces were only for grandmas. Today’s designs feature flattering cutouts, tummy-smoothing fabric and vibrant colors so you can step out feeling […]

My summer wardrobe is far larger than my winter wardrobe, but I oftentimes struggle with putting outfits together. That’s why I load up on one-and-done rompers and jumpsuits that I can slip into at a moment’s notice. I love that these easy pieces help me feel put together without much effort — and that’s the […]

Jennifer Coolidge is one of the world’s most loved celebrities because she’s witty, real and, frankly, unproblematic. That last tidbit can’t be said for a majority of stars in their 60s, and I think it’s one of the main reasons she looks so good. When you don’t stir up scandal and stay true to yourself, you […]

I’ve been a beauty girl for as long as I can remember. I started collecting fragrances in middle school (even though they were Bath & Body Works sprays, they still counted!), I began perfecting my makeup skills as a teenager and I finally curated an A+ skincare routine in early adulthood. I had all of […]

In case you haven’t noticed, blush is back and better than ever. While chiseled, bronzed cheekbones ruled the beauty trends over the past couple of years, bold, bright splashes of rouge are now all the rage. Sabrina Carpenter has quickly become the poster child for the blush craze, too, with thousands of people looking to […]

Just like with the clothes in my wardrobe, there are a few makeup products I swap out for the summer months: I ditch the heavy, full-coverage foundation for lightweight skin tints, replace lipsticks with juicy lip tints and, although this one pains me, I trade my regular mascara for waterproof formulas. I find it really […]

Summertime was made for dresses — I don’t make the rules! My favorite thing to wear once Memorial Day rolls around is a loose-fitting frock that feels airy and carefree. Luckily, there’s no shortage of designs that are on sale, so now is the perfect time to stock up! Embrace the laid-back summer vibes in […]

I have a girlfriend who is on pedicure patrol every summer. Scratch that — she’s on pedicure patrol year round. If any of our friends don’t have our toes painted, she drops everything she’s doing to swipe on some pretty pink polish. It’s both annoying and endearing, but I’m glad she keeps us all in […]

My favorite piece of clothing to wear in the summer? Well, it’s hard to pick just one, but I can tell you that all of my go-to pieces are dresses. Dresses are the best one-and-done item that can be worn for any occasion. It’s not enough to have just one dress in your summer wardrobe. […]

In my opinion, summer is the best time of year, although I know that the season can also trigger some anxieties. The trends amplify the idea that you need to show excess skin to fully enjoy the season, and that simply isn’t fair. You don’t need to wear tight, revealing clothes to live your best […]

Every year when summer rolls around I realize I need new sandals — yes, the struggle is real. (Also, side note, why do sandals wear out so quickly?) I’ve been a loyal Birkenstocks girl for years now, and I’m long past due for a new pair, but I’m just not in the financial situation to […]

There are plenty of summer wardrobe staples, but in my opinion, shorts reign supreme. There’s no other item of clothing that better epitomizes the season. It’s not enough to only have a pair of denim shorts in your collection, though. You see, there are four categories of shorts that make up a well-rounded summer closet, […]

I’ve succumbed to plenty of influencer endorsements and Instagram ads. Most of the time I end up purchasing quirky items, like a cat bowls or redhead-themed candles. It’s rare that I end up buying clothing just because a content creator told me to. I’m really picky because, to be honest, one time I ordered a […]

There’s no denying that summer is the best time of the year — there’s a carefree energy that instantly boosts everyone’s mood. The weather is better, the clothes are better and the vibes are all around better. Truthfully, there’s only one annoying aspect about summer, and only ladies will understand: Wearing a bra becomes a […]
