Christina Aguilera's "Dirty Martini" Makeup Is So Retro Glam

Oct. 13, 2023

Kimora Lee Simmons Has Had Enough Drama. She Wouldn’t Mind Being In Love Again.

Few brands are as synonymous with their era as Baby Phat and Y2K. Kimora Lee Simmons’ visionary, ostentatiously feminine designs — crystal-studded denim bra tops, pink velour tracksuits, fitted fur-lined puffers, curve-hugging size-inclusive jeans — revealed a lucrative market overlooked by streetwear’s male-dominated culture and spawned many imitators.

“Flashy is fun,” Kimora says. “It's colorful and big. Diamonds, but [they] can be fake. Mine are not, but the world’s can be. It doesn't matter. It's what looks good. If you feel glitzy, be glitzy. It doesn't matter that you don't have a billion-dollar glitzy budget.” Baby Phat could be seen on Aaliyah, Alicia Keys, Lil’ Kim, and Raven-Symoné, but also, the girl down the block. “I am a princess,” Kimora states, “but I'm the people's princess.”

The Best Tattoo Style For Each Zodiac Sign

Scroll through TikTok or Pinterest and you’ll see a dizzying array of ’90s-style tats, celestial shapes, nature-inspired drawings, minimalist artwork, and random cartoon designs like cowboy boot tattoos — and more trends pop up every day.

I Did 4-7-8 Breathing With My Husband & It Brought Us Closer

Research shows that practicing deep breathing for just five minutes a day can improve your mood — and moreover, that even a single session can reduce stress and anxiety. It does this by activating the vagus nerve, which helps regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, and thus your body’s relaxation response. That’s not all — according to a 2018 study, mindfulness can not only increase feelings of acceptance between you and your partner but also increase your overall satisfaction in the relationship.

FRIENDSHIP REBOOT

The Joy Of The B-List Friend

We are at a historic low point when it comes to the quality and quantity of our friendships, which is unfortunate because studies are pretty clear that wide social networks — and putting in time and effort to make and keep friends — make people happier. The pandemic dealt a major blow to people’s social circles, forcing them to cut interactions with all but those to whom they were the closest. As a result, 47% of Americans lost touch with multiple friends, according to a 2021 study by the Survey Center on American Life, and that phenomenon was most acute among young women. Group chats and quarantine pods likely kept some of your nearest and dearest friendships active — but I bet your B-list suffered.
