A hairstyle or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human scalp. Sometimes, this could also mean an of beard hair. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles.
This would all be easier if I had a five-year plan,” my friend confides in me. I nod along knowingly, as if my daily life would be somehow better if I knew specifically what I wanted in five years. We both agree — if we knew where we were going, we’d know more about how to …
I think we’re all feeling the same thing lately — time has become distorted ever since 2020. The days stretch into one another like an infinite musical tie; so much sound, so little rest. Each time I scale the stairs from my apartment I’m greeted by all the noise of Los Angeles. Not that …
As a teenager, I unknowingly kept a commonplace book — a notebook filled with quotes that I found inspiring and reflective of my experiences. I’d copy down Tumblr and Pinterest quotes like “She turned her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans” and book quotes like “We accept the love we think we deserve” …
The day the house burned began the way most things do, without anyone knowing it was the beginning. “It’s the little fires, the domestic losses, that come out of nowhere.” With larger natural disasters, if one is lucky, there is some fair warning. Weather reports, sirens, signs in the sky. It’s the little fires, the …
Can Tech Help Us Slow Down? “Dust collection, complete,” says a kindly but robotic voice in the corner of my apartment. Ole Dusty, my robot vacuum, has finished its morning duties. “Whenever we talk about slow living, it’s easy to imagine a cottagecore paradise, self-sustained by solar panels and massive gardens.” I’m sitting in the …
Loftie’s core goal is to reduce our reliance on phones in the bedroom and I’ve found that it meets those expectations. The Loftie Clock is a sigh of relief for folks who want to ditch their phone in the bedroom. It serves as a noise machine, an alarm clock, a bluetooth speaker and even has playlists, bedtime …
According to the Sierra Club, we cut down up to 110,000,000 trees per year for various goods, including paper, toilet paper, and paper towels. Many of these items are single-use, used just once before ending up in a landfill. And it’s not cost-effective either, with many Americans purchasing these goods on a regular basis. When we begin to …
As a kid, one of my favorite activities was collaging. Usually, with a friend, I’d paste together magazine and newspaper clippings into a new piece of artwork that I’d promptly forget about or hang on the fridge until it got crusty. Vision boarding isn’t exactly collaging for adults — but it’s not too far from it. The …
There’s something so thrilling about a new, blank planner. So many possibilities! Such organization! A new me! However, my track record with keeping one is abysmal (RIP to all the planners I’ve only filled out ⅓ of the way). Instead, I jump from one organizational “tool” to the next—Google calendars, whiteboards, even the backs of junk mail …
I disappeared from the internet three years ago. Mostly. During the height of the pandemic lockdowns, I deactivated or privatized all my social accounts. It was for my own good—numbing my big feelings with memes and escaping into lives I was envious of had become toxic for me. The idea of having a “good” online …
