January is the activation point. It represents the threshold where intention meets momentum. It’s energetic activation. The choices you make daily and the emotions you lock into can shape the rest of the year. As you may know, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. It represents a year that conjures boldness, movement, and…
As you plan meticulously for the year ahead, spare a thought for the colorists of the world, who often have only “blonde” or “brunette” to go on when clients walk through the door. That’s why they’ve spent the first few days of January dreaming up every shade imaginable to showcase the many nuances of hair tones.

The 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards took place last night (January 11), and by all means, it was business as usual for the official kick-off to the 2026 awards season.

Until a few weeks ago, I was faithfully using a prescription retinoid recommended by a trusted dermatologist — and my skin had never looked worse.

I’ve always heard that Singapore has one of the most beautiful airports in the world, but what no one told me is that I’d fall in love with everything else, too. From the food and architecture to the people and its overall vibe, Singapore completely exceeded my expectations. When I landed, I was already plotting…

Instead, once I started working full time, I’d go to the pub and then head home for my all important looking-at-phone-in-bed time. This summer though, I finally decided to dip my toe back into the…

One of my favorite things about this job is getting to hunt for manicure inspiration and call it work. In the past few weeks, I’ve spotted (and promptly booked) cat-eye polka-dot nails, not to mention argyle sweater nails, and even deer-print nails — a cute winter alternative to tortoiseshell.
