Indeed, we’re all well aware that we’ve been sitting inside and staring at the same four walls for more than 12 months now. We’re quite conscious of the fact that we haven’t traveled, gone to a gym, worked in an office that wasn’t five feet from our bedrooms, or stood in a crowd of people in a year. There’s no way we haven’t noticed that we haven’t seen our families in a distressingly long time....

Today, my stressed reflection showed a tired pallor that looked utterly depleted. The Groundhog Day lethargy is real guys—and my face was proof. I wanted to do something for myself; and for me, seeing a bright reflection did wonders for my optimism. While I consider myself decent at applying makeup, one look inside my makeup drawer revealed a random collection of mostly expired beauty products. I needed a fresh start, and Bobbi Brown’s MasterClass was my answer to self-care....

Olives are common—but commonly misunderstood. Though most often linked with a select few Mediterranean countries, olives are native to Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today, California has even become a major olive-growing region. Some three-quarters of the olives eaten in the U.S. are from the golden state. Olives are versatile. You’ve seen them on salads and pizzas, in breads and tagines, stuffed and wrapped, on boards and in drinks, cooked into mains and served plain as a starter....

“You can use ice to reduce puffiness around the eyes, decrease oil production and inflamed spots, constrict pores, soothe sunburn, and give the skin a healthy glow by boosting micro-circulation,” Board-certified dermatologist, Sophie Shotter, MD, previously told Real Simple. “It is also said to increase absorption of active ingredients by causing capillary constriction and creating a ‘pulling’ effect into the skin.” The RoselynBoutique Ice Roller has a detachable head that comes off of the handle so you can store it in the freezer....

Rather than painting the walls, Medina took a cue from the raw wood pieces in the adjacent entryway and nailed up wood slats, which warm up the alcove. Dark touches, like the chair and light fixture, echo the charcoal-colored stairs. To get a work surface that fit the sloped space, Medina cut the edge of an inexpensive tabletop at a 45-degree angle.

As a result, the pillows are a perfect combination of sturdy and breathable, even when covered with my favorite silk pillowcases....

Brown hair Best highlights for brown hair The universal rule for the most flattering highlights is to stay within four shades of your base color. According to George Papanikolas, celebrity colorist and Matrix Brand Ambassador, “bronde” tends to be the most flattering for brown hair, as it’s a mix between brown/blonde. “Brown hair has the benefit of being in the middle of the hair color spectrum, so it has the broadest and most versatile range—it can look good with caramel, golden, or baby blonde highlights,” says Papanikolas....
