Where I’ve been and of course the “Bucket List”
Learning about new skincare ingredients is like deep sea discovery — there’s always something new and unexpected waiting around the corner. We started with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, moved on to niacinamide and exfoliating acids, and now we’re entering a new period of peptides and other ingredients — anything […]
Last November, things just weren’t going according to plan for the women of G2 Gozen. After a commanding year, G2 Esports’ women’s Valorant team found themselves down 0-2 in a best-of-five during the grand finals of the first-ever Game Changers Championship, an event featuring solely women’s esports teams. In order […]
I recently met with Dana Stern, MD, a dermatologist who specialises in nails. It’s a niche field of study.

Brea Baker is a writer and organiser. In this op-ed, she shares her perspective on the history and current movement of Black feminist support for Palestine. Poet Aja Monet, singers Kehlani and Amerie, and activist Tamika Mallory are just some of the prominent Black women who have lent their talent […]

You don’t need to be an expert to know that the beauty industry has a serious problem with single-use plastics and recycling. Even if we each do our part to put every bottle, pot and jar in the correct bin every month, there’s no guarantee that these materials will get […]
Back in the summer, when I saw the photos of then Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales planting an inappropriate kiss on World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso’s lips, his eyes closed while he held her head in his hands, I was unsurprised. Hermoso, who scored the tournament-winning goal against England, […]
