The Comme des Garçons (CDG) x Dover Street Market (DSM) Super-Market-Market sample sale in New York City is something like a fashion eclipse: It only comes around once every few years, and when it does, a select group of people completely lose their shit. The last time it happened, it was 2016. Discounts of up
I was on a ship in the middle of the ocean, sitting next to a table covered in sparkles, hair bows, gems, earrings, and pretty much every kind of accessory imaginable. I was getting a makeover from a girl even more decked out than the table. She wore her signature, head-to-toe sequined outfit that was
I knew I was doomed the moment I turned 25. Psychologists say that’s the age when your brain is finally done developing, so any hopes of my genetically tragic neurochemistry changing evaporated right when I blew out those birthday candles. Dammit. I started showing severe anxious tendencies before first grade, and it turned depressive soon
On a recent morning, Anna Chiu, co-founder of the womenswear brand Kamperett, received an email from somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. An acquaintance from a few years back was on a flight to San Francisco, where she’d be hosting a TED Talk. Noticeably nervous and wanting to look and feel her best, her first order

Buried deep in your brain, you might have a memory of shakily attempting — and maybe failing — to do a handful of push-ups during your fifth-grade gym class. It was the era of the agonizing (though some say scarring) Presidential Fitness Test, and you may be apprehensive about performing the upper-body-building exercise to this

You may think you have this whole “breathing” thing taken care of. After all, it’s one of those processes that’s (blessedly) automatic and (blessedly) doesn’t need real estate on your to-do list. But beathwork — a practice of being a little more intentional with your inhales and exhales — is a way to get even

But how, exactly, does one get here? While one might need to endure
From an early age, we’re taught the golden rule: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” The irony here? Many of us don’t even treat ourselves the way we’d like to be treated. A 2023 poll found that the average person has about 11 negative thoughts concerning their bodies and self-worth per day,
