Coachella kicked off this year’s festival season in style, and brought many amazing fashion trends our way. If you’re looking for a way to take your festival fits to the next level this spring and summer, here are five trends from Coachella that you should consider embracing.

Western Vibes

Micro Shorts

Micro shorts emerged as the 2025 equivalent of the flower crown at this year’s festival, and it’s safe to predict that everyone will be wearing them for the rest of the festival season.

Crochet Outfits

Crochet outfits have been the cornerstone of the festival fashion for years, and this year’s Coachella proved that their popularity isn’t fading away.

Leather Weather

Leather outfits were also having a moment at this year’s Coachella, and many festival goers relied on this material when trying to put an edgy twist on their looks.

Belt Bonanza

Statement belts were one of the trendiest accessories everyone seemed to be wearing at Coachella, and you can use them to take your festival outfits to new heights.

If you feel like you’re spending more time on social media than you probably should, taking a break every once in a while is always a good idea. An occasional social media detox can do wonders for your physical and mental health, and it comes with a long list of unexpected benefits. 

Mental Health

Numerous studies have shown that social media can have a negative impact on your mental health, potentially leading to depression, anxiety, body image issues, and insomnia. If you have a feeling that your mind is clouded by negativity every time you open TikTok and Instagram, taking a break could do you a lot of good.

Reduced Eye Strain

Mobile phones emit high-energy blue light, and prolonged exposure can put a strain on your eyes, in addition to potentially leading to eye fatigue, dryness, blurred vision, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain. Since extensive social media use can put a strain on your eyes, you can only benefit from taking a break.

Better Sleep

Taking a break from social media can significantly improve the quality of your sleep, especially if you have a habit of endlessly scrolling before bed. In addition to shielding yourself from blue light that can disrupt sleep quality, you’ll also be able to focus on other hobbies that bring you joy before hitting the hay.

TikTok introduced us to many fitness trends over the years, but none gained more traction than the “75 Hard” challenge. If you’re thinking of taking part, but aren’t sure how this challenge works or if it’s the right fit for you, we’re here with all the details that you’re looking for.

“75 Hard” Challenge

The “75 Hard” challenge gained traction on TikTok in the past year or two, but it’s actually been around since 2019. Its founder Andy Frisella described it as a “mental toughness” program, explaining this challenge is less about building muscle and losing weight and more about building mental strength and discipline.

Five Main Rules

The “75 Hard” challenge comes with five main rules you should follow for 75 days, and start over if you miss a task or skip a day.

1. Pick a diet and stick to it. Choose a diet that fits your goals, and try to avoid alcohol and cheat meals.

2. Drink a gallon of water daily. Try to stay hydrated by drinking water consistently throughout the day.

3. Complete two daily workouts. Try to do two workouts per day, each one lasting at least 45 minutes.

4. Read 10 pages per day of a nonfiction book. Try to read self-development books that will help you learn new things and inspire your personal growth.

5. Take a progress photo every day. Take daily photos to remind you how far you’ve come and inspire you to keep going.

Realistic Approach

Many people embraced the “75 Hard” challenge with open arms, but it also came under a lot of scrutiny because it’s unsustainable for most beginners. Rules 2 and 3 are the most difficult to follow, but you can always replace a gallon of water with two liters and make your two daily workouts shorter than 45 minutes.

The Golden Globe Awards have given us countless amazing red carpet looks over the years, and that trend continued at this year’s ceremony. From Zendaya to Elle Fanning, here are five stars who wowed us with their impeccable taste at the Golden Globes.

Elle Fanning

This year’s Golden Globes have given us several amazing archival looks, but none of them compares to Elle Fanning’s Balmain gown. The recreation of Pierre Balmain’s haute-couture dress from the 50s featured a dramatic champagne flute-inspired skirt and a leopard print bodice.

Zendaya

We can count on Zendaya to top the “best dressed” list every time she hits the red carpet, and her look at the Golden Globes was no exception. She stole the show in a burnt-orange Louis Vuitton ball gown, and the dramatic ring on her left hand sparked engagement rumors.

Zoë Kravitz

Zoë Kravitz rocked our world in a sleek black and white Saint Laurent gown, which came with an adorable oversized bow on the back.

Monica Barbaro

Monica Barbaro’s Dior bustier gown was one of the most pleasant surprises at this year’s Golden Globes. It was covered with a layer of micro-beads and embroidery that took 1,100 hours to complete.

Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana collected her Golden Globe for Emilia Pérez in a stunning brown dress by Saint Laurent. She paired the sequined gown with a matching cape and a statement Cartier necklace.

It’s that time of the year when beauty brands are dropping new makeup collections left and right, giving you an abundance of new lines to choose from. If you’re thinking of investing in one of them, we’re here to help you make the right choice without spending a fortune.

Set a Budget

Before embarking on your holiday shopping spree, know how much money you’re willing to spend. Research prices to determine how much money you should set aside, and stick to the budget because you’ll have many more expenses this holiday season.

Trusted Brands

Pretty much every brand has a holiday collection in store these days, but it’s best to shop from brands that you already trust instead of spending money on products with questionable quality.

Right Products

Holiday makeup bundles don’t come cheap, but you don’t have to buy the entire collection. Stick to products that you really like and that you’re missing from your personal collection, especially versatile products that you can use even after the holidays are over.

Sales & Discounts

If you’re buying holiday makeup products as a gift, you’ll have to act fast, but that’s not always the case. If you simply like the products and want them in your collection, you can wait until they’re available at a discounted price.

The Nike Air Force 1 has stood the test of time, remaining a cultural icon since its debut in 1982. Its enduring popularity can be attributed to several factors that make it a truly timeless sneaker. Let’s take a closer look.

Versatile Design

The Air Force 1’s clean, simple lines and low-profile silhouette make it incredibly versatile. The shoe’s design strikes a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety, allowing it to pair effortlessly with almost any outfit. From casual streetwear to more dressed-up looks, the Air Force 1 adapts seamlessly, making it such a popular shoe.

Cultural Impact

From basketball courts to hip-hop stages, the Air Force 1 has been embraced by various subcultures. Initially designed for basketball, it quickly transcended its athletic roots to become a staple in street fashion. This widespread adoption across different communities has cemented its place in popular culture, transcending generations and continuing to influence fashion trends today.

Nostalgia Factor

For many, the Air Force 1 evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding wearers of their youth or significant cultural moments. It’s a shoe that has been present at countless life events for multiple generations.

Ever wondered if the direction your bed faces could impact your sleep quality and overall well-being? According to Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, it absolutely can. Let’s explore how this age-old wisdom can help you create a more harmonious bedroom.

The Commanding Position

The most important Feng Shui rule for bed placement is the “commanding position.” Your bed should be positioned so that you can see the door while lying in bed, but not be directly in line with it. This allows you to feel safe and in control of your space. Ideally, you should have a clear view of anyone entering the room.

Avoid Alignment With the Door

Never place your bed directly in line with the door. In Feng Shui, this is known as the “coffin position” and is believed to drain your energy. This position is thought to allow positive chi (energy) to flow directly over you, potentially disrupting your sleep and health. 

Balance With Nightstands

Place matching nightstands on both sides of the bed to create balance and harmony. This symmetry is believed to promote equality in relationships for couples and overall balance in life for individuals. The nightstands don’t have to be identical, but they should be of similar size and height.

After winning the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and hitting the fall festival circuit, Sean Baker’s Anora is finally taking the theaters by storm. Its leading lady Mikey Madison is receiving major Oscar buzz, and we’re celebrating her great performance by looking back at some of her best red carpet looks.

Cannes Film Festival

Madison attended the film’s world premiere in Cannes in a sweet Chanel number featuring a baby pink tulle skirt, a matching flower-embellished top, and a long-sleeved black shirt underneath.

Toronto Film Festival

Anora had a showing at several major fall film festivals, starting with TIFF in Toronto, where Madison hit the red carpet in a silky white dress by Fendi, in addition to wearing press tour outfits by Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

Beyond Fast

We’ve seen Madison wear several stunning white dresses while promoting Anora, and this one-shoulder Proenza Schouler number from Beyond Fest in Los Angeles is our personal favorite.

New York Film Festival

The young actress was on top of her fashion game in New York, and she attended the NYFF in a brown Gucci gown with corseted details and a matching shawl.

New York Premiere

Madison was shining brighter than ever at the film’s New York premiere, where she rocked our world in a strapless hot pink gown by Schiaparelli.

Ever wondered if the direction your bed faces could impact your sleep quality and overall well-being? According to Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, it absolutely can. Let’s explore how this age-old wisdom can help you create a more harmonious bedroom.

The Commanding Position

The most important Feng Shui rule for bed placement is the “commanding position.” Your bed should be positioned so that you can see the door while lying in bed, but not be directly in line with it. This allows you to feel safe and in control of your space. Ideally, you should have a clear view of anyone entering the room.

Avoid Alignment With the Door

Never place your bed directly in line with the door. In Feng Shui, this is known as the “coffin position” and is believed to drain your energy. This position is thought to allow positive chi (energy) to flow directly over you, potentially disrupting your sleep and health. 

Balance With Nightstands

Place matching nightstands on both sides of the bed to create balance and harmony. This symmetry is believed to promote equality in relationships for couples and overall balance in life for individuals. The nightstands don’t have to be identical, but they should be of similar size and height.
