My Secret Weapon For Fighting Frizz

My Secret Weapon For Fighting Frizz

We are experiencing a humidity wave over here on the East Coast and suddenly it’s cramping my hairstyle. Frizz city. I’ve been having to wash my hair more than I’d like because even on the days when I’m not pushing myself in spin class, because this heat and humidity is leaving my scalp swampy.

10 Best Bikinis This Season

Today is National Bikini Day! Ah, the bikini: symbol of so many things for us. As I started this post, I thought back on a conversation I had at a local Sephora. The woman who was helping me struck up a conversation with me about pregnancy (as one often does with a pregnant person) which ultimately digressed into a conversation about body image. She said, “I love my son so much, but don’t you hate how you can’t ever wear…
