I’ve always considered myself sufficiently hydrated. Growing up, my dad constantly reminded me to drink water. Whether it was before a flight, sporting event, or hot beach day, I constantly heard the loving words “keep drinking!” and “drink up!” But exactly how much water should you be drinking? For years, we’ve heard mixed feedback on
Beauty and wellness have always been connected. As the old saying goes, to look good is to feel good. Understanding this inextricable link between beauty and health, leading cancer research organization, the American Cancer Society has recently partnered with Fashion Fair Cosmetics and seven national Black civic organizations, including Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., National

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Stepping into the Musée des Arts Décoratifs’ exhibit “Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses,” you might be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled upon the museum’s natural history wing by mistake.

Ever sat down to journal with the best intentions, only to stare at a blank page for five minutes? Journaling can be a rewarding (and, dare we say, fun) way to prioritize mental health — but not if you don’t know where to start. According to therapist Keischa Pruden, LCMHCS, owner of Pruden Counseling Concepts,
Everyone has a different relationship with alcohol, but often we learn that it represents a celebration. In the US, a 21-year-old’s first legal drink is an exciting rite of passage, often marking a full entrance into adulthood. People drink at parties, weddings, and other big events. We’re taught to drink to our accomplishments and the
Eating disorders have a long-held grip on sport. While athletes of all genders grapple with disordered eating behaviors, women have been hit the hardest. Research has found that disordered eating is almost twice as prevalent in female athletes compared to male athletes (62 percent and 32 percent, respectively). And a new report from the International

In the world of skin care, there are some ingredients that we’re all familiar with, like PHAs, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C.

It’s not always easy to drink as much H20 as is recommended on a daily basis, especially when there are so many delicious beverage alternatives — hello, soda — readily available for thirst-quenching purposes. At the end of a marathon or on a hot day in the sun, water may look like, well, a tall

Back in 2001, Britney Spears wearing a pair of tiny hot pink bikini bottoms atop low-slung, metallic green flares felt revolutionary. The pop star’s outfit in the sweaty, sexy music video for “I’m a Slave 4 U” sent shock waves through pop culture. As with all things Y2K, the exposed thong is once again back
The holiday season, particularly around Noche Buena (Christmas Eve) and Christmas Day, carries a bittersweet quality — regardless of whether you spend it in solitude or the hustle and bustle of family gatherings.

In one TikTok video, footage of a thin woman in a one-piece bathing suit transitions to a video of the same woman, now proudly displaying her buns of steel in a thongkini: “POV: you traded Pilates for real weight training,” the voiceover and on-screen caption says. Implied here, of course, is that this creator “transformed”
For a beauty editor, the allure of a buzzy new skin treatment sparkles like a shiny new toy in a child’s eager hands.

The former magazine editor and founder of the cult-favorite Hotel
Don’t talk to me about Emily in Paris,” Isabel Marant will warn you. No, she hasn’t seen the Netflix hit. “And I won’t.
