When it comes to ringing in spring fashion, we like to kick things off on the right foot. In a literal sense, that means stepping into the season with a new pair of shoes on. And with the warmer weather on its way, so too is the long-awaited liberation of […]
We are in celebrity wellness hell. The other week, Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and founder of wellness brand Goop, made headlines after sharing her worryingly empty diet of coffee, bone broth and vegetables “to support [her] detox”.
