After giving up alcohol for four weeks, Chrissy Teigen is sober—and her reason for kicking the habit is sure to resonant with others. The 35-year-old cookbook author took to her Instagram Stories to explain why she decided to cut drinking out of her life for good. “One month ago, on my birthday, I got this book from my doctor and friend,” Teigen wrote over top a photo of the book Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol by Holly Whitaker. “I was done with making an ass of myself in front of people (I’m still embarrassed), tired of day drinking and feeling like shit by 6, not being able to sleep. I have been sober ever since and even if you can’t see yourself doing it or just plain don’t want to, it is still an incredible read.” Days earlier, Teigen revealed to fans that she was four weeks sober . On Tuesday, December 29, the Chrissy’s Court host shared a video of herself dancing around in a swimsuit while on vacation with her family in...

Many of us have done it: Started the year with the resolution to lose weight, sure we’d stick to high-pressure goal we’d dreamed up in a fit of self-hatred. To drop 20lbs, go to the gym every day, count calories or never look at a piece of bread ever again. The fact of the matter is, New Year’s resolutions about weight loss can be dangerous and damaging, especially if you let them warp your self-image and negatively impact your self-esteem. I’ve been that person—the first one at the gym on January 1, so sore by day three that they take the rest of the month off. I’ve also been the person to go and stick to it, grinding day in and day out. Both versions of myself are valid. In transparency, I’ve never been the person to commit to a hardcore diet , but I’ve definitely been the person to try to eat less and end up binging, only to totally hate myself for it. In at least one of these examples (or potentially all of them) I’m sure you see yourself. That’s OK. This is a reminder that ...

That’s Dame McGrath, to you. In the Queen’s New Year 2021 Honours List, Queen Elizabeth II awarded Pat McGrath, D.B.E. Dame of the British Empire for services to the Fashion and Beauty Industry and Diversity. She’s the first makeup artist to ever achieve the recognition. How cool is that? “I am truly delighted and humbled to be given this wonderful honor,” McGrath said in a statement. “My mother’s obsession with beauty and fashion ignited my passion for this amazing industry and I feel blessed to have the privilege of working with some of the most extraordinary people throughout my career.” According to Vogue UK , McGrath has always credited her mother for her love of style. “She trained me, basically, to do the shows, right there… look at the pattern, check the fabrics, look for the make-up – and begin,” she told Vogue back in 2007. Earlier in 2003, she told Time magazine that her mom was “always mixing up colors because there wasn’t anything out there for black skin .” In...

Loafer mules have been an enduring trend that’s undoubtedly withstood the test of time (not to mention the fickle cycle of trends season after season) since the ubiquitous Gucci Loafer slide hit the scene in 2017. It was the “it” shoe of the year, but its legacy (and popularity) continues to reign supreme. Thanks to Gucci’s luxe spinoff of the formerly lazy-day shoe, the loafer slide is no longer a glorified pajama slipper —it’s officially a veritable footwear staple that’s both undoubtedly chic and ridiculously comfortable. Frankly, it makes perfect sense why this trend would go viral and stay on the sartorial radar for years to come; loafer mules are cozy AF, basically foolproof to style (they magically go with just about any outfit), and you can throw them on when you’re literally running out the door. Plus, they look understated enough for casual outings, but they’re also suitable to wear to the office (depending on the style, of course). While Gucci’s hallmark styles like the...

Hair color trends come and go with the season but they’re also affected by what’s going on in the world. With salons continuing to be closed in parts of the country, the hair color trends for 2021 are more laid-back and even, dare we say, DIY-friendly. They’re also a lot more fun than usual and that’s probably because we’ve all been in the house for so long, we need a little excitement. A hair update can be a mood booster even in the not-so-best of times. As usual, our favorite celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez , Kylie Jenner and Lana Condor , are all way ahead of the trends. Or maybe they even helped define them. Either way, these six looks are ones hair colorists are seeing get more and more popular with clients as we head into the new year. So, bookmark this page for when you’re able to get in to see your colorist so they can find the right hue that works for you and your lifestyle. Trying to save some money? Go with darker roots so you won’t need highlights as often. Prefe...

There’s a special satisfaction that comes from watching these Hilaria Baldwin Spanish accent videos , as they all but confirm what social media users believe is a decades-long ruse by Alec Baldwin’s wife pretending to be Spanish. Hilaria—or if we’re calling her by her real name, Hillary Thomas-Hayward —has been accused of falsely claiming family ties to Spain for years. The 36-year-old mom was believed to be born in Mallorca, Spain, with interviews as recent as April 2020 suggesting as much. During one episode with Cat and Nat of the MomTruths podcast , Hilaria said she “moved here when [she] was 19 to go to NYU.” Later, when asked where she’d moved from, she answered: “From—my family lives in Spain, they live in Mallorca.” But as it turns out, Hilaria now admits she’s just “a white girl” who was, in fact, born in Boston, Massachusetts. The yogi attempted to clarify the confusion over her identity in an Instagram video posted on Sunday, December 27. There, she also took the opportuni...

Now that you’re taking your Apple AirPods everywhere, you might as well accessorize them. But for real, these babies aren’t cheap, so it’s a good idea to put a protective layer between your wireless charging hub and the world. That’s why I found the best AirPods cases for you to choose from, from minimalist designs to over-the-top bold picks. As someone who has cracked more than a few iPhone screens in her time, I’ve learned first-hand the terror of accidentally breaking an Apple product . Although the pods seem like they could hold up if you dropped them a few times, I’m not about to take any chances. AirPods cost $159 and the Pro versions can be as much as $249, so replacing them would hurt my wallet far more than buying a case. Once you go Airpods, you don’t want to go back to headphones with wires, so keep yours as safe as possible. Luckily, there are plenty of cute AirPods cases out there to choose from. The cases go around the AirPods charging hub so you can protect the most...
