Channing Tatum’s Tattoos and Their Meanings
Channing Tatum and his girlfriend of multiple years, fellow actor Zoë Kravitz, recently announced they got engaged in November 2023. While the “Batman” star is among some of the most decorated actors in Hollywood, with over 50 tattoos on her body, Tatum has gradually built his own ink collection over the years as well, now boasting six uniquely meaningful pieces. However, like his personal life, the actor likes to keep his tattoos private, rarely drawing attention to them in the public eye. That might be why there’s still, to some extent, mystery lingering around Channing Tatum’s tattoos. Tatum began his collection years ago when he got his first tattoo to…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. I’m no stranger to testing out a trend. I’ve been a loyal Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer girl since the beginning (and for full transparency, I still use one on occasion), but when TikTok and influencers alike upgraded to the $600 Dyson Airwrap, I had to decline. While my hair’s important to me, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much money. (Plus, my roommate owns one, and I get to use it…

The scorching, upbeat grooves of ‘Jão’ signposts a new album from Rio/London troubadour, MOMO. – Backseat Mafia
It’s not often you get to hear about a ‘new’ artist on the London global beats scene who’s already stocked up a back catalogue of eight previous albums but that’s what’s happening with Marcelo Frota aka MOMO.

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. For a long time, I prided myself on being a drugstore shampoo girl. When the opportunity to blow significant amounts of money presented itself, I gravitated toward buying an extremely unnecessary eye shadow palette over an expensive bottle of hair care. Why spend the equivalent of two whole pizzas on my hair when my $7 option did the job just fine? Well, all of that changed recently when I woke up one day this Winter to…
