I Tried Emsculpt Neo For a Butt Lift: See Photos
Your butt — peach, glutes, booty, derrière, whatever you want to call it — is undeniably an asset. There are entire workouts designed to tone it, songs that make you shake it like a Polaroid picture, and jeans and shapewear promising to lift and shape it so baby has back. The truth is: my butt’s always been strong. Back in my competitive days as a teenage tennis player, I was all about footwork, gliding across the court like a petite but mighty gladiator. My nickname, Mikiller. An intimidating fear factor for opponents; a fierce, small warrior princess ready for battle. I remember college, chilling in the dorm with my besties,…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. I’ve always been a “get ready” girl. Even if I have just 20 minutes before a night out, I’ll do a little concealer, a quick coat of mascara, and a fun lip combo. Getting ready is half the fun of leaving the house for me. I am a beauty editor, after all. So when I saw a TikTok video from Kara Best talking about her plan to go on a first date with zero makeup, then…

Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I love finding new information on TikTok. Even though most of the time I say something like, “I read this article that said,” the reality is, I probably just watched a video about it on TikTok. However, the app’s game can’t be contested. I’ve found some of my favorite beauty hacks on the platform, especially when it comes…

Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here. In my world, there’s nothing better than receiving a compliment — especially when it comes to my hair. As someone with fine, dry, and sometimes unruly hair, anyone who tells me it looks good (and means it) immediately gets added to my “favorite people” list. I recently went from a brassy brunette to an expensive brunette, and in all honesty, it was life-changing. (Yes, I’m being dramatic, but also totally not.) I was born with dark-brown…

Let me start off by making one thing very clear: I have never received more compliments on my nails than when I had an American manicure. If you haven’t heard of the trend yet, let me explain. It’s similar to a French manicure, but, well . . . better (in my opinion). Rather than a classic white and pink French or a clear base with a stark…

I Tried a Rejuran Salmon Sperm Facial: Review
PS Photography | Michele RossPS Photography | Michele Ross I’ve never been to Walt Disney World, but I’d go as far as to say that K-beauty capital Seoul, South Korea, is actually the most magical place on earth . . . at least for a skin-care obsessive like me. Over the past few years, I’ve tried dozens of aesthetic treatments in the city. Some are popular stateside, like radiofrequency microneedling and lasers, while others are more uniquely Korean, such as Aqua Peels (a lighter version of HydraFacials) and skin Botox. The most eyebrow-raising of the bunch is Rejuran, which has gone viral in the US in part thanks to celebrity…

Visiting Chile was never on my bucket list — let alone taking a dip in a nature-made salt bath in Chile in the middle of the Atacama Desert. When I got the invite from Dove to travel to the second driest climate on the planet — Antarctica is first — I jumped at the opportunity. As someone who’s never been to South America, I couldn’t wait to experience all…

As a tarot reader, astrology enthusiast, and skin-care-obsessed writer, any opportunity where my interests blend into a single service or product? Hook, line, you got me.
