Bala's Natalie Holloway Wants to Redefine Exercise

Before Bala Bangles were all over your arms, legs, and Instagram feed, they were just an idea drawn on a napkin. Natalie Holloway was traveling with her husband, Maximilian Kislevitz, when they had a realization: “It’s weird that wrist and ankle weights haven’t been redesigned after all of these years, and nobody uses them anymore as a real result, because nobody’s wearing ugly ones out and about.” Fast-forward to a successful appearance on Shark Tank — and a $900,000 investment from Maria Sharapova and Mark Cuban — and the duo has redesigned not only wrist and ankle weights but rings, bars, and beams.

Paris Hilton has parlayed her legendary lasagna tutorial into a new Netflix cooking show. Not to be outdone by Cardi B’s daughter, Kulture, a three-year-old with a growing watch collection, Kylie Jenner’s toddler, Stormi, apparently has an office where she is working on “her own secret brand.” (Baby lip kits?) Congrats to Mj Rodriguez on her Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Pose — making her the first trans performer to be nominated in one of the major acting categories. Track star Allyson Felix is teaming up with Athleta to provide child care grants for Olympians. Grimes is once again giving us a lot to think about.
