Can I Get Some Privacy Please? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was on the train to work yesterday, scrolling through Slack (Instagram) when I came across one of those social media plastic surgeons who loves to dissect famous women’s faces and theorize on what work she’s had done. To note: not all of these videos are mean-spirited, but I don’t totally love the concept of commenting on anybody’s body (especially a woman) and picking her apart based on her appearance for views. Regardless! This particular video was spotlighting Adriana Lima, the 45-year-old

Hello, darlings! I hope you had a lovely long holiday weekend filled with sunshine, good food, and lots of relaxing energy. I desperately needed a few quiet weeks after my birthday, and I’m happy to say that I took full advantage of the remainder of August. I read in the park (currently Circe after finishing up Love Is an Algorithm last week, and it’s making me miss the fabulous Samantha Morton’s portrayal of the infamous nymph), visited friends, watched baseball and tennis, and even snuck in a

I’m in an era of dichotomies. My birthday is a week away, a looming reminder that I am older than I’ve ever been, and yet I also feel like I’ve never looked hotter. That, as society loves to remind womankind, is borderline implausible. I’m also newly diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, which technically makes me the sickest I’ve ever been in my life. And yet, I feel fitter, stronger, and generally healthier now than I ever was in my twenties or early thirties. Make it make sense.It’s
WTF Are Strategic Wrinkles? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not many beauty trends can break me. I’ve been doing the beauty editor thing for well over a decade, and by this point I’ve kinda seen it all. From the return of pencil-thin eyebrows (ugh, please don’t do it unless you’re Bella Hadid or something) to black market fat dissolving enzymes (wow, REALLY don’t do this one, who knows what’s in that syringe) there will always be people who adapt their physical appearance with a degree of don’t-give-a-fuckery that should be studied. Now that it’s August
