Most women don’t pay particularly close attention to their cycles until they want to get pregnant. If you used the contraceptive pill for years, you won’t have ovulated so getting to grasps with key phrases in your menstrual cycle again requires a bit of a re-education. Thinking back to your sex ed days at school,

Notes on Love is a new collection of essays celebrating and musing on relationships and what exactly love means to us in the modern world. Published by fine jewellery brand, Fenton, the collection of 40 essays include the likes of Pandora Sykes on parental love, Candice Brathwaite on the trials and tribulations of commitment, and

2020 might have fooled us all, but it did bring us Emily in Paris, the Netflix drama we never knew we needed in our lives. The eight-part drama first aired on the streaming platform last month and has since become the most talked about show since Tiger King. While some binge-watched it in a day,

Gary GershoffGetty Images If there was ever a moment that truly encapsulates the title of Lolo Zouai’s 2019 debut album, High Highs to Low Lows, it’s the one we’re living in right now. Like many of us, Zouai’s year started off on a high: The French-Algerian singer was slated to join the European leg of

If there’s one word that might cause a sudden wave of nervousness it’s the F word (not that one, the other one) ‘fertility.’ You probably went through your twenties not giving the phrase a second thought, but right now, it’s the one that’s dominating your Google history and triggering a whole heap of emotions –

Since the K-beauty boom in the mid 2010s, the entire skincare-loving world has levelled up their routines, taking their steps into the double digits with cleansers, toners, mists, essences, waters, serums, oils, creams, gels…the list goes on.  And while that multi-step routine has its doubters, the fact remains: Executing a beauty routine is some quality

TikTok and Instagram Reels are the social media platforms known for light-hearted dancing and memes that have brought an element of seemingly harmless fun into the dark days of Covid for many of us. But as Anne-Marie Tomchak reports, are we nonchalantly uploading content of our children having fun and ignoring the darker side of

Scented candles are a funny one. On the one hand, they’re the home equivalent of a perfume. If we’re filling our house up with scent, we want to be sure that it’s a fragrance we’ll love and enjoy. On the other hand, we’re literally setting fire to our investment – and given we’re now at

It is day 100000 of the US Election and the hotly contested Presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has reached a fever pitch of such balmy and grandiose proportions that, quite frankly, you couldn’t make it up. Or could you? Yesterday, President Donald Trump told the White House briefing room that he was

Courtesy Our feet have been experiencing some serious high heel hibernation due to the global pandemic. Gone are the days of night clubs and social events that require a powerful pair of heels. Meanwhile, Zoom meetings typically consist of business on the top and barefoot on the bottom. Don’t worry, heels aren’t going anywhere, but

Lockdown 2.0 is here and we’re needing to find comfort in our homes now more than ever. As the nights get darker and the colder months draw nearer, there’s no better time to use this changing of season as an excuse to give your home a warm hug in the form of an interior re-style.

Because nothing says holiday spirit like supporting Canadian brands If there’s something the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us over the past eight months (aside from the necessity of wearing a mask), it’s the importance of local businesses. With many people making the decision during the pandemic to purchase from those within their own communities, there

It’s no secret that having a strong immune system will help support your body when it needs it most. Right now, with another lockdown and the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 constantly looming, keeping our bodies fit and healthy has been up there with one of the most talk-about health benefits over the last few months (sorry

The GAP had its heart in the right place with its post-election tweet urging unity but it clearly failed to read the room … admitting it was just “too soon.” A spokesperson for the clothing retailer tells TMZ … the intention of its social media post featuring a red and blue hoodie “was to show

It’ll come as no surprise that the second national lockdown will put an enormous strain on the already-suffering hospital industry. So, we at GLAMOUR want to shine a light on the brilliant, local, independently-owned or family-run restaurants across London that are pivoting to delivery and takeaway during this tough time. We love a Maccers or

Being made redundant is a painful, anxiety-ridden experience that far too many of us have experienced this year – particularly during a time of change, loss, and constant adaptation. However, losing your job really can work out for the best, even when it feels like it’s the end of your world. Now, when I say

Frazer HarrisonGetty Images Since the start of the pandemic in March, the fashion industry has been devastated in more ways than one. Cushnie, the beloved fashion brand known for its sleek, demure designs, is the latest victim to succumb to COVID-19’s damaging affects. Today, designer Carly Cushnie announced that she’s been forced to shut down

Can washing your hair with cold water really make it grow faster? Does lemon juice cheat highlights? And should you actually ditch your conditioner if you have greasy hair? There’s a lot of myths when it comes to haircare. That’s why we’ve called on our hair columnist, Jen Atkin, to run through the biggest old

Because we’ve never been more in need of a little comfort and joy It’s hard to imagine what anyone wants, let alone needs this year. Everything we’re collectively pining for—a vaccine! a vacation!—can’t simply be *added to cart*. But there are things we can do for each other while we wait, ever more patiently, for things

Rebecca, 35 from London, talks to GLAMOUR’s Elle Turner about the transition from straight to curly hair and the cut that made her convert. Undeniably, curly hair is in. Of course, women have been embracing their coils and kinks for years, but the last six months has seen an acceleration in the number of people

Deeyah Khan is rarely riled, she’s faced neo-Nazis, jihadis and other radicals too. Speaking to her this is apparent; Khan’s presence is calming and she speaks with such thought on difficult matters. But face-to-face with pro-life campaigners, Deeyah felt a rage like never before, “for a second, I was like, I’m going to prison because

We get it, you’re attached to your hair. Beyond giving us a cosy comfort blanket that doubles as a scarf in winter, our hair has been with us through thick and thin. Especially if you’ve reached bum-grazing length. That kind of achievement is years in the making. So to cut it all away feels like

Candace Marie Stewart is a verifiable street style star (if/when such a thing existed) and has an impressive following on social media—people who are there to take notes on her bold, stylized fashion choices. She’s also a social media consultant for Prada and formerly worked for Barneys New York. In other words, Stewart may have

With the dawn of a second lockdown comes an undeniable desire for all things nostalgic: crafting, beaded jewellery and Disney. ALL the Disney. The ultimate antidote to Coronavirus-induced stress (tried and tested), Disney films are comforting, full of joy and a helpful aid in forgetting about the (terrifying) state of the real world. So, you’ll

And a classic beanie. Oh, and a beret. We rounded up the cutest, warmest winter hats here! For anyone who has watched Netflix’s Emily in Paris, it’s inevitable that you came out of your binge-watching rabbit hole with two thoughts in mind. First of all, what the heck was Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) wearing

Back in the days when life was “normal”, dinner time was pretty nondescript in my household. If I wasn’t heading out for a bite to eat with friends after a long day in the office, I’d whip up the speediest meal I could (often pasta) before hunkering down in front of the television and inhaling
