Every year there is a crop of new hair trends but nothing is ever really out . It’s all about what makes you feel comfortable and confident. And it seems like gender beauty norms are being thrown out the window more than ever before and it’s refreshing as hell. In fact, according to the Pinterest 100 report that was just released, search for gender-neutral haircuts has gone up 625 percent (!). We’re talking curly cuts and straight cuts, long hair and pixies in all hair textures. We’re not sure what exactly has inspired the change, except that maybe it’s Generation Z’s doing. According to Pinterest , Gen Z looks for more gender-neutral options in general. For example, 59 percent of Gen Zers “expect to see gender-neutral options on forms,” compared to 40 percent of Boomers. That’s not exactly surprising. Though androgyny isn’t new, stars such as Harry Styles , Timothée Chalamet, Ruby Rose and so many more are ditching gender norms for more androgynous styles. When it comes...

There are many tried-and-true beauty rules we actually aim to follow and going to bed with a clean face is one of them. Don’t get us wrong; there are definitely nights when we come home from a long day at work or night out and would rather face-plant into the bed. But somehow, some way , we’re able to gather just enough energy to blindly grab makeup removers that actually work and run them across our face. Come morning, our pillowcase will let us know if that waterproof mascara or lipstick came all the way off (fingers crossed). And over time, we come face-to-face with an unfortunate truth: makeup wipes kind-of suck. Hear us out. We’re not saying you need to swear them off forever, but everyday use of even the gentlest cloths can leave the skin red, chapped and irritated; especially if you wear heavy makeup. Though other forms of makeup removal aren’t as convenient, they do feel a lot nicer on the skin and usually come with cleansing benefits too, so you can cut your routine down ...

Let me paint a picture for you. It’s a self-portrait (I’m not much of an artist so mind the stick figure). It’s a picture with pervasive societal judgment and disgust on one side, and ineffective routes to correct the problem on the other, and I’m in the middle, swiping on my phone. There’s no cozy place for me, just a sandwiching between things I don’t want, and can’t change. Single and actively dating women live between a rock and a dick pic . Perhaps you’ve been there? The weather is shit.  I’m a 37-year-old single woman who has been actively dating for 11 years. For the most part, I’m speaking of online dating , because heaven knows people haven’t met in real life since the late ’90s and I was but a teen at the time. I’ve worn down enough shoe leather walking to dates to be able to assess this garbage situation from a high-level view. I see what’s happening here, and the longer I see it happening the more I’m dedicated to finding a way out. You can’t blame me for waking up to ...
