These Weird But Clever AF Sunglasses Are About To Be *Everywhere*

It’s time to pack away your aviators and wayfarers (for now, at least). Recent eyewear trends have introduced more variety into the world of sunglasses, with retro-looking frames, rim-free silhouettes, and even space age-looking sunnies taking centre stage. And now, a new luxury eyewear brand is redefining what it means to launch an accessories line in the digital age. Say hello to Paloceras, the brand that uses cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship to bridge the gap between the...

What Is Quiet Travel—And Why Are People Seeking It Now?

A few years ago, I went through a period of intense content fatigue that led to silent commutes for two weeks. For ten work days, I drove to and from work in complete silence — an hour each way in total quietude. And I loved it.


My mind craved that much-needed break. We so often survive in a state of information overload — from the moment we check our emails and feeds in the morning, to listening to the morning news and then sitting glued to our computers all day at work, to listening to audi...

Review & setlist: Pink brings her Summer Carnival to Gillette Stadium

Last year, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Pink launched her “Summer Carnival” tour on June 7, 2023 — and it’s still going on. On Aug. 21 the artist brought her show to Gillette Stadium, a venue almost twice the size of Fenway Park, where she played two shows last summer.

The tour’s been racking up critical acclaim, and right now stands as the fifth highest-grossing tour by a woman of all time — it’s beat out only by Pink’s own...

This Genius New Product Makes Your Lips Silky Smooth & Makeup Artists Are Obsessed

It feels like every brand has a lip oil these days. Gisou, Fenty Skin, Summer Fridays, and even drugstore brands like e.l.f. have all gotten in on the lip oil trend.

What Is The Blue Mindset? Why We’re Spending Time Near Water

You know that slight euphoria when you get out of the water at the beach and walk back up to your towel as you breathe heavier, taste the salt on your lips, and start to air dry in the sun?


Too specific? How about this: That calm, sleepy feeling after a day at the beach or a long swim in the pool. There’s a name for that calmness, coined by marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols in his 2014 book “Blue Mind.”


Dr. Nichols died this past June at the age of 56. He’s survived by his wife and t...

Review & setlist: The 5 most Boston moments from Saturday’s NKOTB concert

On a gorgeous summer evening following a gorgeous summer day, the New Kids On The Block proved that they’ve still got it — almost forty years after the release of their first self-titled album.

This Is The Genius Travel Essential You'll Want For Your Next Trip

Traveling anywhere fun this year? Sometimes, the prep before a big trip is almost as fun as the trip itself — picking outfits, planning itineraries, getting your hair done.

How To Start Strength Training (And Feel Confident At The Gym)

In February 2020, I made a resolution to get a gym membership and start strength training regularly. I know, bad timing.


I was already working out fairly regularly — jogging, going to yoga classes — but I wanted something more. As someone with a small frame, I wanted to feel stronger. And when I looked at my friends who lifted weights, I wanted what they had. I took the three free sessions with a personal trainer that came with my brand new YMCA membership, and went to the gym a few more time...

Why Natural Fabrics Are Essential For Summer Dressing

When the temperature on the thermometer creeps up to 85 degrees, 90 degrees, and above, I find myself pulling out all the stops to stay cool. Standing by the open freezer. Taking cool showers. Moving around as little as possible. 


But, as it turns out, the clothing I put on is one of the most reliable ways to stay comfortable in the heat. And while I can hang around in tiny tank tops and shorts at home, it’s a different story when it comes to running errands, meeting up with friends, or — god...

How to Celebrate National Tequila Day with Clase Azul

It’s unclear when and where the margarita was first invented. Some say it was born in 1925 in Tijuana as the “tequila daisy,” and others credit restaurateur Danny Herrera for inventing it at his Rancho La Gloria. Any way you spin it, a margarita always has four ingredients — lime juice, salt, orange liquor, and, of course, tequila.

On National Tequila Day, July 24, maybe you’re tempted to pop into your local watering hole for some sort of tequila-and-sweet-mix concoction that might scratch the...

How To Fake A Fuller Hairline In Seconds

You know those videos on TikTok where a girl shows off her newly thickened hairline? She’s usually promoting some type of hair growth product — maybe it’s rosemary water, a scalp brush, or a hair growth serum. While the results may look impressive, the product is super time consuming — because, let’s be honest, hair takes a while to grow. But what if there was a way to get those exact same results in seconds, and without spending more than $30? That’s where Toppik comes in. The brand’s new Fill

The Top Jewelry Trends You'll Be Seeing Everywhere This Summer, From Whimsical To Wavy

Think about the jewelry trends of the last few years: understated, “quiet luxury,” and dainty. Now, hold onto your petite huggie hoops, because 2024’s jewelry trends take us in a completely different direction. And this new direction isn’t all that unexpected considering the most recent viral trends. The “mob wife” aesthetic is still going strong with its big blowouts, fur coats, and glitzy jewelry, and other maximalist trends, like opera gloves, are so back. In fact, accessories in general seem

What Is The Emerging Trend Solarpunk?

Imagine this: A city as dense as Manhattan but with trees and greenery growing from every rooftop. A crystal clear river runs between the buildings instead of a road, carrying public transit boats. Bridges can also get folks from one building to the next, but no one seems in a particular hurry.
