Collage by Lizzie Gill (Images: Courtesy of Nasser Nouri, Salma Abdelaziz, Sebastiaan Knoops, and the author) I had always viewed becoming a mother as perhaps the least extraordinary thing a woman could do.

If you’ve read much about COVID-19, you know that fever, cough, and shortness of breath are hallmarks of the disease. But while many people will run a fever — for as long as a week or more — it’s possible to contract the virus and never see a spike in your temperature. “You can definitely
Robert R. McElroyGetty Images Flip through the pages of 1976’s Diane von Furstenberg’s Book of Beauty and you’ll see that the designer is a champion lounger. She is always shown at least semi-horizontal, whether posing like an odalisque behind a bedside breakfast tray or lying supine in first class. When it comes to luxurious self-isolation,

Now more than ever, it’s important to wash our hands frequently and correctly. As the daughter of a registered nurse, I know how often my mom has to soap, lather, rinse, and repeat—as well as the dryness and cracks she suffers because of it. Glossier’s Hand Cream is the brand’s latest response and launch during
The month of Ramadan is a time for social connection and celebration. It’s a time for religious reflection and volunteering, a time when we fast from food and water, as well as vices like anger, from sunup to sundown. I’ve celebrated in places as different as California, Jordan, and Washington DC. But no matter where
Netflix’s new reality show Too Hot To Handle is all about abstaining from sex so, naturally, the producers invited a bondage expert to the island to spice things up. In episode 3 of the eight-part series, contestants found themselves in a very sexy Shibari lesson. Touted by the show’s guest sexologist Shan Boodram as an
I’m a huge fan of weightlifting, but I also know the importance of giving your body a rest. Some days, that means doing nothing. Other days, it’s trading in the barbell for a fun, upbeat cycling class, or going to yoga and stretching out your tight hips, hamstrings, and shoulders. If you’re in need of
Books, puppies and her beauty routine are helping her through isolation As much as the phrase “Celebs, they’re just like us!” gets thrown around, the truth is…they’re usually not. If social media has shown us anything, it’s that a lot of celebrities—with their wealth and privilege—can pretty much do anything. From throwing a two-year-old a
Mike MarslandGetty Images Almost forty years since the British Fashion Council held their first London Fashion Week, they have announced that the quarterly event, historically divided by gender, as well as season, will become gender-neutral and commence digitally, due to the pandemic.

Because of New York’s mandatory quarantine, basically the only people I have seen in the past month and half are my boyfriend and my cat. We’re taking our time at home to complete projects we have long avoided: my boyfriend’s installing a new WiFi modem and tending to his illegal vegetable garden; my cat’s trying
James DevaneyGetty Images Katie Holmes’ 14 year old daughter Suri Cruise celebrated her birthday this week with a lot of love from her mother on social media. Us Weekly also got some rare details about Suri’s life as a teenager and what her relationship with her mom is like. They’re very, very close. “You’d struggle
For those of us who are used to breaking a sweat outside, we can’t help but eagerly await those first truly nice spring days. Although we can’t expect full-on shorts weather quite yet, those temps are rising, and we’re getting ready to ditch our layers, opt for lighter, more breathable gear that’s ready to work,
From WFH sweatsuits to floaty spring dresses White sneakers, just like white t-shirts, are OG fashion chameleons. They’re equally at home in your mom’s closet as they are in yours—and probably your little cousin’s, too. That’s versatility at its finest. Sure they can get dirty, but is that so bad? They look just as cool scuffed

Summer slides may get more action as house slippers, swimsuit coverups can double as loungewear and your trusted travel pouch will soon be your favourite compact
What began as a gag in a Seinfeld episode (really) has turned into a cultural phenomenon: A bunch of hot singles forced to spend a month together but prohibited from touching themselves—or each other. That’s the premise of Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, and if you’re looking for another round of sexy rule-breaking, a second
As someone who is clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I understand the importance of normalizing mental illness and fighting back against the stigma that prevents people from getting the help and support they need. But while we’ve made strides in recent years, I worry it’s come at the expense of downplaying the seriousness of

I recently found myself working 40 hours in only three days while writing and editing a draft—the high-intensity interval training of life as a writer. To help maintain the pace, I made sure to sleep for eight hours, worked out every day, and paused to eat the (at least semi-healthy) meals my husband made for
Prince Louis’s birthday is about to begin in the UK, and to kick the festivities off, Kate Middleton and Prince William shared several new photos of their youngest child on their Kensington Royal Instagram. Louis, who is turning two, appears finger painting to create rainbow artwork in support of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
I give protein powder one chance to wow me, and if I’m not impressed because it has a weird consistency or aftertaste, or the flavor isn’t spectacular, it’s a no for me. It goes through the ultimate test — mixed with water and ice and that’s it. I have a few plant-based protein powders I
Korina Emmerich has been crafting face masks that pay homage to her Indigenous heritage for years, but now that the CDC has urged the general population to cover up in public, it’s hard to keep up with demand.
