As we sat in the room, I encouraged her to breathe, and took her through a guided meditation. We then went over the protocol for the procedure and our plan for how her husband and I would comfort her. She found chanting mantras to be soothing, so when the procedure began I chanted the ones

The first and very hotly anticipated VBxEsteeLauder make-up collection sold out quickly enough to elevate the brand to cult status. Indeed even I, a Beauty Director with access to all the make-up ever, coveted it as much as you did. I too had trouble getting hold of it, but I finally got my hands on

When I dyed my naturally black hair to silver last December, and then purple-pink in February, I faced a steep hair care learning curve. It opened up a whole world of products and techniques my formerly low-maintenance self never even knew about. The best way I learned was to talk to women with brightly dyed
1. BE AWARE OF WHERE YOUR INJECTABLE CAME FROM Make sure your doctor is an official vendor of everything you’re getting injected. Allergan, Merz, and Galderma are three of the top manufacturers of neurotoxins and fillers, and Allergan also makes the fat-dissolving Kybella. To reduce the risk of getting a subpar, potentially dangerous product, some
You know when you’re at a bar and a weird guy is hitting on you and you just want to leave but don’t know how and all you’re thinking to yourself is “I want to die”? Dragonflies are geniuses who actually do that. Researcher Rassim Khelifa at the University of Zurich witnessed the female moorland
If there’s one person who knows how to embrace their inner unicorn rainbow hair, it’s Kylie Jenner. From bright red and mint green hues at New York Fashion Week to ‘highlighter hair’ and peach waist-length tones for Coachella, Kylie Jenner’s hair is ever-changing.

If you’ve ever wondered how Being Mary Jane star (and haircare entrepreneur) Gabrielle Union stays so eternally flawless, the answer is bacon. Sort of. In a recent interview with Phoebe Robinson and Jessica Williams of 2 Dope Queens, Union shared some beauty life advice we can really get behind. “I drink a gallon of water,”
When I show up to the Super Wonder Gallery on Saturday for the panel discussions, the staff and volunteers are still setting up. The plan is to have computers projecting porn clips on the gallery walls all day, but there are a few technical difficulties getting started. The coordinator apologizes to me profusely, and I
It goes without saying that no one wants to look done. Still, we’ve all seen it, or maybe it’s even happened to us: the brow too high, too low, too frozen; the balloonish lips or Angelina-Jolie-in-Maleficent cheekbones that give the game away. Here is a person, these all-too-obvious needle- assisted interventions say, who hoped to
Dear E. Jean: I’m a guy. My wife and I met when we were in college. Her mother was good-looking and very nice, and as time went on, we developed a close relationship. It eventually led to cuddling. Clothes on, then naked. She never really wore underwear, and I loved it. To sum it up,
As someone who rarely wears eye makeup during the day, going full on cat eye can look like an Amy Winehouse tribute. And even if a Jeremy Scott-sized cat eye is part of your everyday makeup look, like unicorn hair and blue lipstick, dramatic winged liner becomes a talking point. When you want a little
I have cranky skin (sensitive, prone to tantrums), and over the years, I’ve tried all manner of soaps and tonics and leave-ons aimed at calming it down and clearing it up, always favoring the more extreme formulas strong enough, so I thought, to snuff out all the oil and dirt clogging it up. Until two
Dear E. Jean: My morning routine: Wake up at 6 a.m. Fall back asleep. Wake up again at 7 a.m. Look at my phone. Start shouting at myself. Enter bathroom. Exit feeling calm and fresh. Look at my phone. Discover I’ve spent 40 minutes in there! At this point, I’m no longer calm. I start

At this point in my relationship, I can usually tell if we’re about to get into a fight. Maybe we’ve both had stressful weeks, or I’m about to get my period and am a little snippier than usual, or we haven’t had sex in a few days and are cranky about that. Fighting happens, and
When the actress is busy on set, she needs something to keep her energized. Berry isn’t a fan of our favorite technique (though we love her choice): “I am not a napper; I wish I could nap. Adding vegetable protein to a shake sustains my energy throughout the day,” Berry told the L.A. Times. She
Kai did not choose this haircut, but she put on a smile anyway. By the time Kai was 3 1/2 years old, I couldn’t ignore it anymore. She was verbalizing that she was a girl at least six times a day. Everything was: “I’m a princess” and “I’m a girl.” Every time she’d say something
“I was begging him, talking to him with a tremendous amount of respect,” says Shmaling. Time was of the essence if they were going to find Teri alive. Then, detectives dropped the bomb that they’d found Teri’s pants—and blood—in David’s house. “He started getting emotional as I was calling him on his lies,” says Shmaling.

The burden of preventing a pregnancy has long fallen disproportionately on those who would actually carry a baby. Yes, there are vasectomies and condoms, but it’s the uterus-owners among us who are tasked with taking pills, getting IUDs, or tracking ovulation in order to control reproduction. But according to a new study published in the
