I am an (almost) 30-year-old grown-ass woman, and I’ve already started back to school shopping. And I call it back-to-school shopping not because I’m going back to school, but because the prefix makes shopping sound better. Going back to school connotes purpose—it’s a fresh start. Despite the 20 and 30-degree temperatures that end up defining […]

Some people feel so left behind by technology that they hold out in futile rebellion, cellphone-free and miserable. I’ve experienced the same with food. Since I’ve been old enough to choose, I’ve definitely chosen beef, bacon, muffins and chips. Oh, chips. Blessed with decent genes, I don’t ever worry too much about what I ate. That is, until my […]

All of us want to be like celebrities. And okay, well, that’s not entirely true. But we do have favourite celebrities, and we look to those certain celebrities for style inspiration, and we all have weird allegiances to actors and musicians that lead to us buying their nail polish, makeup, and/or clothing lines because we’ve […]

A quick scan of the headlines from the past week paint a bleak picture of what it’s like to be a young worker in today’s job economy.

Our fascination with copying famous features has reached an all-time high. The #kyliejennerchallenge has over 176,000 posts on Instagram, and brow pencil sales have skyrocketed ever since Cara glided down the runway in 2011. For the most part, it’s fun to switch up your beauty routine to look like your fave celebrities, but what about […]

It comes all at once as surprise, comfort and delight that among the first words out of Jeremy Scott’s mouth is “sorry.” Apologizing for a minor rescheduling of our phone interview, he is blunt—“Shit happens, I guess”—but also polite and modest, almost bashful. In the course of the conversation, he is never boastful, though, since […]

It’s a great time to be a teen girl. The beauty world has rebirthed the majesty of sparkly lip gloss, glitter, and yes, even blue eyeshadow (which actually matches the season’s blue nail polish trend). You can buy shimmering body oil as a grown-ass woman (by Tom Ford, no less) and wear temporary tattoos without apology (and at […]

The end of summer is so strange, isn’t it? Once you graduate and start working a nine-to-five job, summer doesn’t really hold much meaning other than, like, the weather. Your hours are the same, your job is the same; seasons just kind of blend into one another and you keep track of them by monitoring […]

First off, I applaud Kiran Gandhi’s decision to run the London Marathon without a tampon. Her reasoning made sense: it would have been uncomfortable to run with a tampon in, and she could use the opportunity to raise awareness about women without access to sanitary care and fight the stigma against menstruation. That said, I […]

Don’t you let anybody shame you about your makeup and/or appreciation of it: according to a study for CVS by psychologist Dr. Vivian Diller, having a beauty routine can save your life. (Gasp.) “Activities that allow us to take care of our personal beauty needs should not be viewed as ‘guilty pleasures,’” Diller explained. “These acts may […]

We take it back: love is real, it is fuelling us, we believe in it, and please stop reading anything I wrote in the wake of Gwen and Gavin’s divorce announcement earlier this week. (I was sad, and wanted us all to suffer.) So what’s with the change of heart? A side order of this: […]

Last week the Canadian government announced that it intends to ban microbeads from personal care products because they’re polluting the Great Lakes. What are microbeads? Tiny spheres of plastic collect toxins from our skin and teeth, granted. But they also collect toxins from everywhere else, as they’re flushed through the sewage system and added to […]
