Like much of the general workforce, I spend the majority of my week staring at a computer screen. From a health standpoint, it’s simply not good—by 4:00 p.m. most days, my eyeballs feel like sheets of glass, my neck is sore from doing the over-the-laptop-hunch, and my head is one Slack notification away from a pounding migraine. But the worst of it seems to be the bags under my eyes, a side effect from all that screen-induced blue light . Come dinnertime, I look like a zombie, dark and haunted from a day’s worth of writing. I’ve tried everything from classic cucumber slices to trendy ice globes and brightening serums—nothing seems to do the trick. As a last-ditch effort, I ordered Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels ($33) after researching celebrity hacks for brighter under-eyes—and I’m glad I did.

Every now and then, you come across a beauty product that has the power to completely transform your skin-care routine. For some, it’s a retinol cream and for others, it’s a toner. Yes, toners can be a huge game-changer for your self-care regimen. From cleansing your pores, to balancing your skin’s pH levels, they offer a lot more benefits than merely a shot of hydration. And one that’s worth adding to your beauty arsenal is the Sukin Organics Hydrating Mist ($8). Very few products *actually* take the beauty world by storm, but this one has proven to do just that. In fact, it’s so popular that one bottle sells every 40 seconds, and even actress Emma Watson has been spotted using it for a photoshoot. So, what makes it so special? Like with most products in the skin-care space, its magic is all in the ingredients. Sukin Organics Hydrating Mist Toner — $8.00 Originally $8.75, now $7.96 Made with rosewater and c hamomile, this toner helps soothe and provide much-needed hyd...

We don’t pay our décolletage nearly as much attention as we should. While we slather our face with serums, creams, and oils, many of us forget about our necks and chests, leaving them to brave the elements without any assistance.

There are two types of vacations, IMHO. The first, which I have creatively classified as a “good vacation,” helps you press pause. It’s tons of fun, and usually comes right when you need it most because you’re feeling burnt out . But a good vacation doesn’t do much more than give you a break from your regularly scheduled programming (nor does it need to). The second variety of vacation—the elusive “great vacation” —however, transforms you in some way; it solves problems you didn’t even realize you had. You come home from a great vacation feeling like a fresher, more enlightened member of society. If you want to find yourself on this second sort of getaway—one that will evoke the restorative sensation of exhaling for the first time in years— Rosewood Baha Mar in Nassau, the Bahamas is as a, well, great place to start. I’d been hearing infinite buzz about the beauty of the Rosewood Baha Mar since the day it opened its ornate double doors in June of 2018. Seeing as it was an easy, two-...

When it comes to glassware , so often you sit at a restaurant or see a picture of a celeb’s dinner party while scrolling through Instagram and think “Where on earth did they find a champagne flute shaped like a cockatoo?!” (or something to that effect). However! You, too, can find one if you just know where to look. Glasses are an essential part of every table setting, and fun glasses are an easy way to really dress up (or add a bit of humor to) your tablescape . While it may be easier to buy a set of plain glasses in bulk at IKEA, interesting glassware is the best way to elevate your kitchen, make whatever you’re sipping on seem fancier, and is a tell tale sign that you have “made it” as a grown up (we’re only half-joking about this last part). With so many shapes, sizes, and colors to choose from, personalized options, shaped coupes modeled after Marie Antoinette’s bosoms, and some specifically made to balance on Kim Kardashian as she breaks the internet, it can be hard to know wh...

When I think about Black beauty , I think about how timeless and innovative it is. I think about the fact that it’s the blueprint to everything from new products to trends in the beauty industry and throughout mainstream society today. Images of Lil’ Kim’s iconic looks from the ’90s and early 2000s live rent-free in my head, and so does the iconic pixie cut, which, in my opinion, is synonymous with Black culture and Black beauty. Not only is it a timeless look, but it’s radical and it challenges European beauty standards that make Black women feel that in order to be deemed beautiful, they have to have long hair and be in close proximity to whiteness. The pixie cut took off amongst women of color when they started seeing entertainers like Halle Berry and Toni Braxton sporting it, according to Kim Kimble , celebrity hairstylist, founder of her eponymous hair-care line. “I think women just wanted something stylish,” she says. “ When they saw Toni and Halle rocking the short hair and ho...

Even if you have your skin-care routine down to a science, your complexion still undergoes a lot every day. Pollutants and sun exposure aside, the stressors of everyday life take a toll on your body’s largest organ . That’s why Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum ($89) set out to tackle the dermatological effects of what ails us most: our to-do lists. Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum — $89.00 Shop now The Revitalixir Recovery Serum specifically targets what Murad founder, Howard Murad, MD, deems “cultural stress.” Cultural stress is stress caused by our jobs, families, and life that keeps us up at night and causes us to distance ourselves from the social bonds that make us feel like ourselves . Dr. Murad’s serum acts as a reset for your complexion to ease the visible effects of stress— like under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and expression lines —when you can’t necessarily dial back your workload. When I get my hands on a bottle of the Revitalixir Recovery Serum, I n...
