Since the tragic murder of George Floyd on 25th May, cities across the world have become loud with the anger, grief and resolve of their protestors.

“As I do this, I remind myself that every kind of hair, every version of my hair, is good hair” Being a Black Canadian has been extra tough these past few weeks. This summer was supposed to be one of relaxation for me. Having defended my Ph.D. in organizational behaviour in April, and with a

Because my parents are Sri Lankan, people often ask me about how my experience fits in with Black Lives Matter. Indeed, in the UK, Asian people in positions of power will often invoke their experiences to indicate they get Black Lives Matter; take recent statements from UK cabinet members Priti Patel and Rishi Sunak around

Sophie Turner is reaching the bulging baby bump stage … and she might be getting a head start on shopping for her bundle of joy.

OK, so your life has been tipped upside down in the past few months. We’re not going to dwell on it too much though, because there’s light at the end of the tunnel – lockdown is finally easing, which means now is a brilliant time to muster up the courage to get dating again. If

Lockdown has really shaken up a lot of our everyday habits; anyone else feel like they’ve regressed to a first year University student? Office-appropriate attire has been swapped with loungewear, our trusty foundation is taking a vacation in favour of bare-faced skin and most of us haven’t touched our hairbrush in at least a week.

Isa FoltinGetty Images These are dire times. But there’s something comforting about scrolling through an endless array of shoes. With a whopping 65 styles ahead, you’re bound to find a pair (or two or ten) that’ll make you want to slip off your slippers and go for a proper socially distant walk. From rainbow flats

Netflix has curated a collection of films, TV shows, stand-up specials and documentaries under the tag ‘Black Lives Matter‘, to highlight stories about the Black experience and the ongoing battle against racial injustice.

Plus, suggestions for Black-owned businesses where you can shop instead With the recent wave of protests around anti-Black racism and police brutality in the United States and Canada, there’s been a reckoning within some very prominent companies. Execs at female-focused companies like The Wing have resigned amid allegations that they fostering discriminatory and unequal work

As we adapt to the new normal, donning a face mask is one of the major everyday changes we’re embracing. In fact, face masks are now mandatory on public transport and in private hire taxis so having a good stash of cloth face masks is pretty essential as we venture out of lockdown. Although it

After three months of tracksuits and bare feet, the slightest ease of lockdown rules – including the tentative re-opening of physical clothing stores earlier this week – has seen many of us reignite our interest in getting dressed. In *actual* clothes. Unsurprisingly, this realisation that we’ll soon be back to curating daily outfits has panicked

It’s not hard to remember a time when acids were confined to chemistry class or the weapon of choice for Bond villains. Nasty, dangerous liquids that you wouldn’t want anywhere near you, let alone on your face. Fast forward a few years, and chemical exfoliants containing just that have gone mainstream, stepping out of medical

Thanks to the streaming revolution and the birth of binge-watching, we have access to more TV than ever before. And with the likes of Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime constantly dropping new, original content, our ‘to watch’ list is ever growing at a rate we just can’t keep up with. We don’t mean to

We wouldn’t be surprised if the current time period, specifically the late 2010s to the early 2020s, is one day branded as the age of comebacks. From ’90s revivals to the return of questionable early-aughts trends—to this season’s continuing ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s renaissance—the fashion industry has been heavy-handedly leaning into the culture’s growing obsession

My earliest memory of sun cream is in the fifth grade in the US, the summer I earned a much-coveted trip to NASA Space Camp. I’ll never forget standing under the sun in the deep South as my classmates passed around a bottle of SPF. I slathered myself in a generous helping and began to

Treat yourself *and* support LGBTQ+ causes It’s Pride month and while festivities may be postponed due to COVID-19, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate virtually from the comfort of our home by hopping into Club Quarantine’s virtual pride launch party or checking out SodaStream’s virtual drag brunch. Something we can also do from home? Online shop. But

Net-A-Porter has long dominated the luxury fashion market – in our minds and in the minds of every other fashion-lover on the planet. The e-commerce giant houses a vast range of designers from The Row to Prada, and countless smaller labels like Faithful The Brand and Copenhagen-based Ganni. We’re forever placing orders. These are the

We’ve all become a bit eyebrow obsessed in the last few years. Gone are the over-plucked, over-pencilled squiggly lines, we’ve since realised (yep, our mums were right) that big brows are in thanks to their youthful, face-framing abilities. Those of us in the brow-obsessed category will know, while they may be fuller than their teenage

With the promise of sun just around the corner – and the faintest whisper of a lift on lockdown at least somewhere on the horizon – we’d be lying if we said our mind immediately wandered to our wardrobes. The last time we were seen in public (and we don’t mean by strangers 2 metres

OK so…I’m just going to say it, and once I’ve said it, don’t be mad at me, because DEEP DOWN, you know it’s true….alright?? Summer 2020 is cancelled. I know, I know, it sucks. I also know “air bridges” are being discussed, airlines are trying to get back on their wings and the 14 day

No nail appointment, no problem With nail salons across the country closed for the foreseeable future, there’s never been a better time to take our manicures into our own hands. If you’ve already mastered gel polish removal and salon-quality manis, why not give one of these simple nail art ideas a try? All you need to get

When we first entered into lockdown on the 23rd of March, no one really anticipated or planned for us to still be here over two and a half months later. While we were busy stockpiling toilet roll, few of us were future-planning our contraception to see us through weeks and weeks of staying home. Even

Breaking News Starbucks is now saying “my bad,” and will allow employees to wear Black Lives Matter attire … after getting intense backlash for banning it.

Madeleine Allbright once said; “there is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” Turns out that special place is reality TV. Last week I greedily binged the second season of Selling Sunset– the latest Netflix scripted reality show from the creators of the original big hitters; Laguna Beach and The

These days, if you’re not a pogonophile yourself, there’s a fair chance you know someone who is. (We’ll wait here while you Google it.) Brushing off claims that peak beard has been and passed, the facial hair trend is here to stay. And with beards now a firm part of men’s facial furniture, the emphasis

Having a baby in a global pandemic is not anyone’s idea of ideal timing. There is the panic of an already scary and stressful time made worse by the heightened risks of Covid-19. There is the fact that grandparents are often restricted from seeing the baby, that birth partners have only limited time in the

Getty Images Style icons have worn every cut and brand of denim for decades. Brigitte Bardot wore her cropped Levi’s with ease; Lauren Hutton paired her all-American denim skirt with a white tee; and nothing came between Brooke Shields and her Calvin Klein jeans. In honor of the seasonless staple, we’ve compiled the best vintage

If there was one shade rising up the ranks as the hottest hair trend of 2020, it’s red. Blonde and brunette may have dominated the space, but finally, red is firmly having its moment in the sun. Just this week, Dua Lipa debuted a brand new, bright cherry bob that’s just about convinced us to
