How seriously do you take your spring cleaning?
Tell the truth: aren’t you tickled when you order a glass of wine, and you’re asked for your ID?
Now that spring is officially here, it’s time to update that beauty routine to reflect the changing seasons.
South by Southwest is officially kicking off here in Austin, marking the beginning of festival season.
Whenever I’m feeling stressed, I remember a little adage I came across that goes, “When you become a diamond, remember why life had to pressure you.” It’s a decidedly cheesy, T-shirt-ready phrase that’s probably on about a thousand Pinterest boards, but I find it oddly comforting on those days when, no matter how laser-focused I am, I question whether I’ll be able to perform whatever feat I’ve set out to accomplish — whether it’s preparing a huge holiday meal before guests actually arrive, penning a six-page magazine feature, preparing for a TV segment, or logging in a certain number of miles on the treadmill.
The term “Galentine’s Day” was first coined by Leslie Knope, Amy Poehler’s character on Parks and Recreation, to reference a holiday dedicated to bonding with her girl crew.

Honey is having a major moment in the beauty world, becoming buzz-y once more — an interesting development considering that its healing and therapeutic properties have been trumpeted since Egypt in the 14th century BC, when Nefertiti incorporated the amber-colored liquid into her beauty regimen, a practice Cleopatra would adopt centuries later during her reign, famously adding a few drops of the substance to her milk baths.
We all know the saying, “When you look good, you feel good,” and there’s a lot of truth to that idiom since, when we feel like we’re presenting the best version of ourselves to the universe, we feel more confident and empowered.
I like to think of every new year as a new notebook filled with blank pages just waiting for us to jot down new adventures, accomplishments, and milestones.
