The Perfect Body Wash for Every Need — Beyond Just Cleansing

We all want the same thing when it comes to body wash. It should cleanse and hydrate the skin. But beyond that, body wash is a pretty personal choice. Those five minutes (10 if you’re lucky!) of peace are all for you and that moment of self-care can be pretty important. It’s not just about getting clean — although it’s that too. It’s about feeling fresh and good in your own skin and taking some time for yourself. If your skin is on the dry side, you’ll find a body wash that contains plant-based hydrators that leave skin feeling silky soft. The formula isn’t greasy and won’t leave a residue, of course. Instead, a nutritious blend of plants and body butter soften as it cleanses. For those with sensitive skin, a fragrance-free formula that’s mild and pH balanced is your best bet. It’s even hypoallergenic and gluten-free, which is important for those with sensitivities. If you have normal skin and really love when a body wash leaves a fresh scent behind, you’ll find a cleanser with a...

Jewelry Cleaning Cloths to Keep Your Collection Looking Shiny & New

Whether you’re an avid fine jewelry collector or simply have a taste for affordable fashion pieces (which are super prone to tarnishing), cleaning and polishing your jewelry on a regular basis is the key to ensuring that your favorite rings, bracelets, necklace, and pins last a lifetime. We often overlook the fact that dust, grime, and residue from our lotions, perfumes, and hand creams can taint our favorite pieces leaving precious stones, sterling silver, and gold-toned metals looking rather dull and lackluster. When jewelry becomes clogged with everyday impurities, these pieces lose their shine and brilliance, but fortunately, with the regular use of jewelry cleaning, you can help maintain the life span and luster of your favorite pieces. However, when cleaning and polishing your jewelry, it’s important to take special precautions to avoid damage. Using an abrasive fabric or a solution that’s not specifically formulated to be used on silver, gold, metals, gem, and diamond can lead ...

The Coziest Turkish Cotton Bathrobes You Can Lounge Around in All Day

With how long women spend showering, bathing and getting ready, you should make sure you have a fantastic bathrobe in your arsenal — especially if you spend half of your weekend and weekday evenings in your robe. Robes are the ultimate loungewear, after all. You want a robe that’s cute, long-lasting and, of course, comfortable. If you want your robe to feel like a towel, so you get a second opportunity to dry off, you should check out Turkish cotton robes.  Turkish cotton mimics your bath towel in the best way possible. It wicks moisture away from your body and absorbs it, while drying you off. Despite absorbing all of that water, it remains relatively dry. You’ll find that spas, hotels and pools usually carry Turkish cotton towels if that helps you imagine what Turkish cotton bathrobes feel like. This type of robe is made out of cotton from Turkey and is harder. It tends to become fluffier over time, which is good news for shoppers who want something cozy to curl up in.  We...

Sleek Bathroom Wastebaskets That’ll Elevate Your Decor

Bathroom trash cans aren’t something most people give a whole lot of thought. It sits in the corner of your bathroom, usually smashed up against the toilet if you have a small bathroom. What trash can goes in the bathroom might not seem significant, but just think about how many makeup wipes, Q-tips, cotton balls and single face-mask packages you throw away on a daily basis. That wastebasket is a big part of your get-ready routine. If you’re going through great lengths to look Insta-ready, you want to make sure your waste bin can keep up.  Side-note: It’s also one of the few pieces of furniture that visitors or guests are going to notice in your bathroom, so it might be time to throw out that ancient trash can that has gum stuck to the bottom of it from college.  When shopping for a bathroom trash can, you want to make sure to pick a step above from the trash cans that scream “freshman year dorm room” and reek of plastic. You also have several different styles you can choose...

The Best Weaves for Different Types of Waves and Curls

Whether you’re looking to invest in a new signature look or just want to switch it up once in a while, there are some stellar weaves to choose from that don’t cost an entire paycheck. These weave bundles are made from 100 percent human hair (no synthetics or animal hair) so there’s no shedding or tangles here. These bundles include all you need for a full head of hair, depending on your preferences, and come neatly packaged with a clean weft. Wear these weaves curly, wavy or poker straight depending on your vibe. Feeling a Cardi B-style ponytail or Megan Thee Stallion long, straight strands? The options are endless. They can be safely washed and heat-styled, too. Each comes in a natural black color which is always flawless, or you can bleach or highlight as much as your heart wants. Create a trendy ombré style, try two-tone hair or a natural-looking balayage. You can have fun with colorful hues, too. Pop some pastel hair dye on top of the bleached stands for a purely unique look that’...

Everything We Know About Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik’s Baby So Far

Image
As the world waits for the arrival of this baby from parents who are *literally* sculpted by the Gods, all we can do is share everything we know about Zigi’s soon-to-be child. Consider this your one-stop-shop when it comes to all things Gigi Hadid pregnancy updates, due dates, baby gender , etc. along with her boo-thang and baby daddy, Zayn Malik. You’re welcome. We first heard the (in my opinion, earth-shattering) news on April 28, when TMZ reported that “family sources” close to the couple told the outlet that Gigi was already 20 weeks along with their first child. While TMZ’s source shared that the on-again, off-again pair were “very excited,” neither confirmed the pregnancy rumor at the time. But fans were quickly convinced, as the timeline adds up. Zayn, 27, and Gigi, 25 recently rekindled their five-year relationship in Jan. 2020. The pair were spotted out together  in New York City following  rumors that they’d reconnected over the Christmas holiday, and have since s...

17 Minimalist Outfit Ideas Perfect for Every Summer Adventure

Image
In my own personal style journey (Yes, it’s a thing!) I’ve floated between wanting every wild item of clothing on the planet and trying to pare down to just the essentials. While I definitely tend to lean toward the maximalist side in how I dress, oftentimes I like to dress up in cute and simple ensembles as well. When it comes to finding my simple side, though, I felt I was lacking in minimalist summer outfit ideas . I mean, how many times could I wear my favorite cropped jeans and a plain black tee? Luckily, the street style gods and Instagram influencers have smiled down upon me, and I found so many minimalist outfit ideas to try and recreate myself this summer—plus ways to shop! Them! All! Minimalism is definitely a concept I’ve never really been good at understanding, but when it comes to fashion, there’s no denying how sleek a simple, minimalist outfit can look. Whether you were all-white everything or mix neutrals to create a stylish ensemble, you really can’t go wrong with a m...

Taylor Swift’s Reaction to Gigi Hadid’s Pregnancy Has Us Ready for Fairy Godmother Tay

Image
When Taylor Swift approves, you know you’re in a good place. Thankfully, Taylor Swift’s reaction to Gigi Hadid’s pregnancy with on-again, off-again boyfriend Zayn Malik is just as reassuring. Taylor, who is one of Gigi’s closest friends, is apparently on board with the pair starting a family. You love to see it. While Taylor, 30, and Zayn, 27, have actually worked together in the past—stream “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” if you dare—there was no telling whether the Grammy-winning songstress felt good about the former One Direction star taking that next big step with her friend. But according to a source with Us Weekly, Taylor “approves.” It’d be hard not to, knowing that Gigi and Zayn’s relationship has held strong despite their breaks. The pair rekindled their five-year relationship in Jan. 2020, when they were spotted out together in New York City following rumors that they’d reconnected over the Christmas holiday. That about adds up, since now sources are saying that Gigi is...

These Scented Luxury Candles Make Your Home Smell Like Heaven

Smell is one of the most important of the five senses when it comes to setting a mood and calming ambiance in any space, and candles are one of the best, cost-effective and easiest ways to add some aromatherapy to your dwelling. Candles are perhaps the easiest way to give your place a personalized aroma that both you and your guests will swoon over. Sure, you can opt or a fragrance diffuser or scented sprays, but while these options may smell okay, they don’t exactly feel as luxe as a scented candle wrapped in chic packaging. Many popular perfumes and colognes also come in candle form, which means you make your space smell as good as your signature scent too. I think we all can agree that candles possess the unrivaled ability to transform the mood , fragrance, and overall feel our homes, but aside from offering us ultra-flattering sepia-toned lighting, they also make our apartments smell divine. Scented candles are also known for their mood-boosting, aromatherapeutic benefits as well...

Jordyn Woods Just Reacted to Her Rumored Ex Hanging Out With Kendall Jenner

Image
Oh, how the tables have turned. While Jordyn is no longer at the center of a KarJenner dating scandal, the eldest Jenner sister might have just inserted herself into one. And now, it’s possible Jordyn Woods shaded Kendall Jenner over Devin Booker —a.k.a., Jordyn’s rumored ex-boyfriend and Kendall’s recent road trip buddy. The 23-year-old NBA star sparked rumors on April 29 when he was spotted in Sedona, Arizona with Kendall. TMZ obtained footage of that pair hopping into a Mercedes Benz Maybach (not too shabby) after parking at a rest stop. Apparently, witnesses were pretty much convinced that the pair looked like a couple. But sources close to the 24-year-old model claimed otherwise: “Kendall and friends have a small social circle amongst the group, who have been following the same social distancing and physical distancing guidelines. Devin is a friend and is part of the small group,” a source told TMZ. “They took a road trip for some much-needed air.” Oh, to “socially distance” by ...
