Whether you’re a professional, an entrepreneur or just generally a boss lady, wearing a suit just might land you the job/salary/respect you so deserve. It sounds all great and dandy—how putting on a power suit can instantly empower you— but tossing on a suit in the hottest month of the summer just doesn’t sound that appealing, which begs the question: How do you style summer suits for women ? Welp, I’m here to explore. Luckily, so many of our favorite brands respect the hustle and know just how important keeping a professional appearance is for many of us in today’s world. With that being said, they’re also creating summer-friendly suits —suits that are made of lightweight material, feature shorts instead of pants, or are made up of a color palette that will totally make a splash. It’s easier to find the perfect summer suit than you thought. For me, personally, I’m in a position where I don’t have  to wear a suit (I own my own business and work from home, score!).

Though we tend to associate self-tanner with the summer season, I’m one of those glow-obsessed people who makes it a year-round priority. Because I’m basically militant about applying sunscreen every day (no exaggeration here), sunless tanning products have kept my summer bronze thriving in the months where my yellow undertones come out to play and I have to go H.A.M. with the bronzer. However, ask anyone who regularly self-tans what the most annoying part of the process is and they’ll say two words: those. gloves.  Tanning mitts are undoubtedly a vibe killer, which is why I’m starting to get familiar with mess-free self-tanning alternatives . In 2019, there are so many other ways besides a traditional self-tanner to get your glow on. If you’re mostly concerned about your face, there are primers that warm up the complexion. Should your body be the focus, body highlighters are crazy easy to apply. And if even rubbing something in isn’t your speed, tanning drops and face mists ar...

Almost every home cook owns a muffin tin. They’re a kitchen staple, and necessary for making cupcakes and muffins. But, are you really making the most of yours? Did you ever wonder if you could be doing a little bit more with your muffin tin? If you haven’t thought beyond basic baked goods, you’re going to want to try these out-of-the-box muffin tin recipes . The truth is, your muffin tin can be used for almost anything that you’d normally bake in a larger baking dish or pan. Meatloaf works in a muffin tin, as do mini frittatas and individual lasagnas .

Below, you’ll find muffin tin recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner . Pick one to make this week, and discover just how easy and fun it is to think outside the (muffin) box. Ambitious Kitchen. 1.

While I may not be hip enough to enjoy it, I personally think that pour over coffee tastes so much better than the stuff my automatic coffee maker is capable of. Unfortunately, I can barely even master getting the ratio of water to coffee grinds right, let alone refining the art of the pour over method at home. Heck, I can’t even figure out how to use my French press. Fortunately, if you’re looking to entertain with a cup of joe or two, I’ve been on a quest to find the best pour over coffee maker sets , so you can trick your coffee connoisseur house guests into thinking you’re a bona fide barista without having to put in much effort to impress. Sure, you’re still going to have to practice a couple of times before perfecting your craft — unless you’re just a natural — but these all-inclusive kits will make the process much more fool-proof than if you were left to your own devices. Whether you’re concerned about judgy friends and family members hating on your machine-brewed morning fue...

If you buy all your Kylie Cosmetics at Ulta, you’re not alone. The big-box retailer is a favorite for its killer sales, rewards points system and mix of luxe and drugstore products. And now, Kylie Jenner’s sis is joining her brand. Yup, KKW Beauty is coming to Ulta and sooner than you might think. The brand announced the launch on Instagram and fans are already excited about not having to pay KKW Beauty shipping prices anymore (upwards of $10) and that they’ll be able to get their favorite products even faster. We’re not sure exactly when KKW Beauty will hit Ulta stores but it’s likely it will go online first like many of Ulta’s brands do. It’s also possible the entire line won’t be there, as with Kylie Cosmetics . But at least the majority will be, and you’ll be able to go in and swatch and test products against your skin before you take the plunge to buy. It’s win-win.

Now there are even more places to pick up the Amore Pacific-owned brand’s serums, face masks, moisturizers, face washes, toners, sleeping masks and more.
