Even though the sober curious movement is growing, many people still seem to think that non-drinkers = major bummers. “Why don’t you drink?” and “How do you even have fun?!” are tossed at you like they’re not pretty personal questions to ask someone. Going to a party sober, unfortunately, means encountering some of these sobriety snoops. But it does not mean that us teetotalers are doomed to have a bad time. So we asked addiction and wellness specialist and counselor Erica…
We adore the fact that most modern people are privy to the fact that frequently tanning to keep up a deep summer bronze is, how do you say, not good. Hello dark spots and melasma, hello fine lines, hello premature aging, and even skin cancer. It’s a serious risk, and the best skincare advice that our favorite aestis and derms can give is to wear sunscreen and limit exposure. The problem is, we look so good with a little extra melanin. Skin appears smoother, leaner, and even-toned,…
Happiness—whether we view it as an accomplishment or a state of mind, we all want to be happy people, right? Sounds simple … do things that make us smile, play music that puts us in a good mood. But we can agree it’s not always that easy, and it sometimes takes more than a five-minute dance break (which we highly encourage though) to get out of a funk and back on the happiness highway. Many factors play into our overall joy level, yet…

Even though fruit is known to contain sugar and carbs, it should still be a part of your daily diet to help fight off illness and boost your immune system.Some types of fruit have fewer carbs per standard serving due to their higher water content, or have…
Hate it or love it, the cut-out skirt is definitely the sexiest skirt this summer. Everyone is already wearing it. When we say everyone, we mean models and influencers who are responsible for turning anything into a trend. Basically, everything cut-out is considered a trend these past few years. Last summer, the cut-out dress was everyone’s favourite, but this summer it is all about that cut-out skirt and a simple crop top. This trend is inspired from the Y2K aesthetic…
The older we get, the more we notice that forging friendships is a lot like dating. We meet someone new, we ask for their contact info, invite them out somewhere to hang and get to know each other better, and let it blossom from there. Sometimes people fall into your circle by way of others, and that’s great too. But only if their energy aligns with yours do you have to keep up the effort. You get to be discerning. Ultimately, friendships are…

Tennis has a longstanding fashion history, evolving from pure practicality to style-conscious sportswear, but it is at Wimbledon – one of the most prestigious and well-known championships in the world – that tennis fashion truly thrives. The dress code is notoriously strict; players much be dressed “almost entirely in white” – and this does not include cream or off-white – with no solid mass or panel of colouring (although a single coloured trim of 1cm or less is permitted). This applies to everything from socks…
