Angelina Jolie’s Tattoos and Their Meanings
Angelina Jolie is the queen of body art. OK, there are a lot of other stars who have more ink than the actor, but Jolie definitely knows her way around a tattoo parlor and isn’t afraid to get a bold design. In fact, she has so many tattoos that many of us have lost count. In early 2016, the total was up to about 17 designs for the “Eternals” star, and those are just the ones that fans know about (and can see). However, she recently added another piece to her collection and spoiler alert: the placement is super trendy. On June 16, Jolie attended the 2024 Tony Awards wearing…

Neurocosmetics Is the Next Wave of Skin-Care Innovation
With how saturated the beauty industry has become, it’s no longer enough for products to garner results. To win over beauty lovers, brands are banking on customers feeling something — transforming a regular skin-care product into an experience or event worth repeating. Similar to how nighttime products can prepare you for a restful sleep, a buzzy new category called “neurocosmetics” is gaining popularity in the emotional aspect of skin-care routines. The concept of neurocosmetics is based on the fact that hormones produced by the brain can impact skin function. For example, if you’re stressed or going through a traumatic season, you might experience acne. Consequently, during a joy-filled season, your…

of Montreal – Wonder Ballroom – Portland, Oregon 2024.06.17 – Backseat Mafia
By Anthony Moore This past Monday evening indie pop band of Montreal brought their unique visual presentation and sound to the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. Before the music started I could hear murmurs from the fans standing next to me about how amazing the show was in Seattle the night before and sharing experiences of the number of times they had seen of Montreal over the years.

Abercrombie Sloane Tailored Pants Review With Photos
Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. When I was a kid, I was always baffled by how cartoon characters would wear the exact same outfits in every episode of a TV show. Minnie Mouse was always in her staple red polka-dot dress with a matching bow; Kim Possible was deeply committed to her pairing of denim cargo pants with a cropped green tank to match; and even Lizzie McGuire’s animated alter ego would don her pink tank, high-waisted jeans, and orange platform sandals time and time again. In my adolescent mind, I always just assumed these…
