Perhaps you like to hit the gym, the street, or yoga class early, before work; perhaps you like your exercise to happen after work; perhaps you work from home and like spontaneity in your fitness routine.

The Met Gala is known for its extravagant and experimental fashion and beauty looks and for being the perfect place to flaunt drama. Seeing how this year the theme honored the controversial legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, this year's event did not disappoint — in both, drama and high style.

Do you find the smell and sight of cherry blossoms optimistic and alluring? Does it make you feel impatient as you remember biting into those first, succulent fruits of the season (especially since they're Whole30-friendly)? That burst of taste and smell of cherries that is so mesmerizing to some is only the surface. The glorious cherry tree has a lot more to give than that. In the beauty industry, both wild and sweet cherries are used for an array of benefits they have on our skin and hair. Here's which parts of the cherry trees are used and what it is that makes them a hero among natural skincare ingredients.
Vitamin C is a well-established, powerhouse nutrient in skincare products, offering numerous anti aging benefits, including fighting oxidative stress, promoting collagen synthesis, boosting glow, and fading discolorations. Because vitamin C is a key player in collagen production, it can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and even work to prevent stretch marks. And that's not all — vitamin C can also help protect our skin against sun damage and environmental stressors, leading to a brighter, more even complexion. Vitamin C can work wonders for a variety of skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. By promoting collagen synthesis and inhibiting melanin production, it reduces the appearance of dark spots and brightens the complexion. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
Festival season is upon us, and with it comes the challenge of keeping our beauty game strong amidst the dancing, the elements, and the crowds.

It may be official Self-Care Day today, but by now, we all know the importance of having those regularly, regardless of how wide or narrow the intervals are between them. Once again, we are facing the importance of consistency and the big power within
Earth Day is every day! However, it is also a global event acknowledged and celebrated on April 22nd every year since the 1970's. As our world reshapes continually and as climate change awareness grows more deeply in societies worldwide, we keep witnessing the changes both the fashion and beauty industries are implementing with sustainability in mind; one of them is the rise of waterless products, offering us quality face and body care, only plastic-free and zero-waste.
If you don't get on the volume train, like now, you'll definitely miss out on something special, babe. Big, voluminous waves with cat eye eyeliner, add to that a mandatory calm confidence in your feminine self in the way you walk, a flattering outfit that you can make sleek moves in — it's liberating, as simple and necessary as that. Thanks to Jennifer Coolidge's voluptuous exposure lately, the spotlight also fell on her signature big hair, just as much as on her talent, work and presence she delivers. It has become a trademark of hers, and as beauty, fashion, culture and society-loving people, we do like it when fellow humans stick to their own through ever changing and recycled trends. Plus, we're all heart-eyed for major Bardot vibes at 2023 SAG Awards.
Are you in negotiations with yourself? The bangs vs new color one particularly? Well, Valentine's is very much over and some may have gotten kissed, and others may have kissed something goodbye; whenever we find ourselves starting fresh within ourselves, be it in or after love, with career or educational switches or changes, or even in quietly deciding on changing our personal patterns, let's be honest: our hair is the first one to take the proverbial hit. For some reason, our spruced up life has the effect of us wanting to do something to our hair.
Transitional care, i.e. skin and hair care in between seasons, may get a little frustrating from time to time: we could feel like we have just gotten used to a new routine, finally found and provided what our skin needs, and then it starts to feel like it's time to re-adjust, all too quickly. Luckily, plum oil could be that "just right" transitional partner to us.

The Grammys happened! The Grammy awards fall into the kind of awards ceremony where high fashion and beauty tend to be (or are encouraged to be) to be accentuated by edgy. That's always been welcome, and Grammys are, traditionally now, one of the best places for celebs to rock the experimental, very extroverted and fierce couture.
Hey, no one said we're low maintenance. All joking aside, though, we did want to compile a list of products we would need should we find ourselves: 1) in an unexpected, getting-ready-to-go-out disaster, or in a less dramatic, but panic-provoking nonetheless, issue of being late; and 2) having a long, late night. The list includes all of these saviors, and then some — and all are gloriously pink!
In terms of usage and function, some of these products are more unusual, others are something we are accustomed to, but what they all have in common is momentary fix of your current hair woe, as well as over time. That means you'll get to feel good about your hair right after using one of these lovelies — and as far as realistic hair revival expectations go, they really do deliver.
