]]>Good news! If you’re a fan of clean, minimalist hairstyles, the sleek ponytail will be everywhere come fall. Whether you style it high or low, it’s essential that all frizz and flyaways are contained – invest in quality hair oil and an anti-frizz serum to ensure your strands appear glossy and sleek all day long.
What is it about fall that encourages so many of us to take the plunge and get bangs cut in? Perhaps it’s the fact that they offer a little more definition and structure around the face, which feels appropriate for this more serious season. Bangs are certainly in for fall 2024, although if you’re tempted make sure you talk with your hair stylist about the shape and length which will work for your face and styling routine.
Lily Collins has recently debuted a stunning bob which is cut with impressive precision around her jawline. This look, being termed by some as the ‘laser cut bob’, will be big throughout this fall. It’s chic, sleek, and relatively easy to style, meaning this is one hair look you won’t regret investing in.

]]>Outerwear has tended to be oversized for a while now in the fashion world, but this season will be all about a more streamlined, minimalist look. A perfect entry point into this is to invest in a classic, timeless cropped leather jacket. Whether you opt for black, cream, or brown, a jacket like this pairs perfectly with jeans, but also works well with dresses and skirts.
The current trend for vests is going nowhere this fall, so if you haven’t already, now is the time to invest in a version you can wear with loads of different looks. Opt for a classic knitted version or a quilted vest that you can add over your outfit as that extra layer against the cold.
For some, capes are a tricky trend to get behind—the superhero connotations are just too strong. However, if you style them right, they can add a level of drama to your look and keep you warm against the cold. Try a simple cape in a classic color over a pair of jeans or layered over a simply cut dress.

]]>Bouldering is a form of climbing done without ropes. It will work your forearms, biceps and triceps, shoulders, and back as you scale up walls or boulders. Bouldering is also great for developing your grip strength, and this can benefit your overall workout techniques as greater grip strength will mean that you can safely handle higher weights in the gym.
There are plenty of pull-up bars available that can safely and temporarily hook over a door frame in your home. Once there, use it to practice dead hangs (simply gripping the bar and letting your body weight hang from your hands), as these will strengthen and tone your muscles and develop your posture. As your strength develops you can also start practicing pull-ups, too.
Calisthenics are forms of exercise that use your own body strength to perform movements that will significantly strengthen and tone your muscles. Try Pilates videos on YouTube, or simply practice holding a plank for a set amount of time each morning to begin developing your upper body as well as your core strength.

]]>This cult skincare product is specially formulated to soothe and care for dry, damaged skin. Despite its oily consistency, the product sinks into skin fast, leaving your complexion smooth, bright, and healthy. You can apply Bio-Oil all over your body, and it’s especially good at dealing with acne scars.
This skincare ingredient is renowned for its hydration-boosting properties. Apply to damp skin to lock in moisture for all-day hydration. This also works as a great base serum, so you can apply other skin-loving ingredients such as ceramides and niacinamide over the top of your hyaluronic acid.
For many, this is the original and the best dry skincare product. Vaseline does have a greasy texture, so it’s best applied at night when it can get to work without you worrying about leaving residue everywhere. It works great on dry hands, feet, and legs, but you can also apply it to dry patches of skin on your face for intensive treatment.

]]>If you’re finding that one or two (or more) eyelashes are falling out when you remove your eye makeup, it may be worth investing in some tubing mascara. These mascaras are formulated differently, coating each lash in polymer strands rather than ‘painting’ the lashes a different color. To remove tubing mascara, you just need to soak a cotton pad in warm water and hold it over your eye. The mascara should slip off your lashes, reducing the friction and damage caused by makeup remover.
If you’re concerned that your lashes are losing strength or length, invest in a lash serum. It’s simple to read reviews of these products online, and you can opt for the highest-reviewed serum within your budget once you’ve done a little research. With consistent application of a serum, you should start seeing improvements to your lashes in four to six weeks.
Many of us choose to sleep with an eye mask at night, to improve sleep quality and block out ambient light. However, if your mask presses down on your lashes at night you may wake up with crooked or bent lashes. Similarly, if the mask is too tight this can lead to lashes falling out. Choose a specially designed mask that provides enough space around your eyes to protect your lashes.

]]>Redness and itching are common signs of irritation, but if you haven’t changed anything up in your beauty or skincare regime recently, this could be a clear indicator that you’re under stress. Try catching up on sleep and having a duvet day to decompress, and then treat your skin to some gentle, intensive moisturizers to reduce the redness.
If your skin has suddenly become oilier than you’re used to, this can also be a sign that you need to take it easy. Although it seems strange, oily skin is often crying out for hydration so focus on using products that contain hyaluronic acid and take some time out to pamper yourself.
Dry skin can be tricky to treat, so focus on using gentle cleansers and intensive moisturizers. Always wear SPF and permit yourself to rest as stress and exhaustion have been proven to exacerbate dry skin issues.

]]>Lemons are naturally acidic, and this helps them to cut through dirt and grime. One way people use lemons in cleaning is to rub a slice of lemon over dirty dishes before they go in the dishwasher. This can help to remove a surface layer of grime naturally. Alternatively, mix one part lemon juice with three parts water and use this as a spray to wipe down surfaces.
Vinegar has a range of uses in the home. It can be used to remove stains from fabric, wipe down surfaces, and kill mold. Mix one part white wine or malt vinegar with four parts water, to create a powerful cleaning spray. Do be aware that the spray can leave a lingering vinegary scent – it might be worth adding some orange zest to the bottle, to reduce the strength of the vinegar’s smell!
If you mix one tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda with four tablespoons of water, you will have a potent mix that’s great for wiping down grime and grease from ovens, utensils, and surfaces. It might be worth wearing gloves when you apply this cleaning product, as bicarbonate of soda can dry out the skin.

]]>When fresh, peonies are famed for their gorgeous, ostentatious flowers and heady fragrance. The drying process does fade these flowers a little, but they remain statement pieces which work best in a bright, colorful, maximalist home. Don’t be afraid to make them the centre-piece of a room, or place them in a window so they are illuminated.
These pretty flowers, otherwise known as gyspholia, are incredibly delicate when dried. They will look great placed in a mid-century modern room, as the bloom of baby’s-breath will break up the clean lined furniture a little. These flowers would also suit a pastel-toned room very well, complementing the soft, pretty vibes.
Dried ferns are an excellent alternative if floral blooms don’t really suit your vibe. These will look great against a clean, white-washed wall, perhaps in a bedroom or living room. You can also mix and match dried ferns with a few floral blooms, although you’ll need to make sure the flowers don’t get swamped by the green foliage.

]]>If you want to, getting some piercings done on the inside of your ear – on the tragus, rook or daith – can help balance out those going around the outside of the lobe and cartilage. Do be aware, inner ear piercings can be painful and take a while to heal, but if you persevere you can end up with some stunning options for curating your finished look.
For a pretty, balanced look, combining ear studs with hoops can be a great way to go. Some people choose to make an impact by opting for all studs or hoops, but generally a combination of the two looks more interesting and considered. Start off with smaller, delicate hoops if you have concerns that they will look too chunky in your ears.
Gemstone earrings are a great way to vary your look and draw attention to your ears. Experiment with different stones in an array of colors, or stick to one tone to keep your ear curation looking coherent and complete. Neutral gems such as opals work great with silver and gold toned jewelry, so you will be able to mix and match around your gemstone earrings.

]]>Get ready to set your blow-dryer on to full blast. The best way to achieve the bouncy, voluminous look is to blow dry your hair. Use a round brush to curl the edges of your bob inwards, and to fluff out your side bangs or face-framing pieces. Set the look with hairspray and you’re good to go.
One of the quickest ways to add even more volume and drama to your hair is to adjust your hair into a side parting. This will pile the majority of your hair up on one side, leading to some glorious waves as well as plenty of volume. A hair oil will add shine, creating some stunningly healthy looking hair.
Mob bobs tend to fall on the longer side of the bob spectrum. Ask for a cut that just grazes your shoulders. Having your bob cut slightly longer will give you more options when it comes to styling, and will allow you to blow dry in some curls and waves without taking your hair too short.
