TL;DR: Living means having needs. And having needs means there’s always a gap between “how things are” and “how we want them to be.” Closing those gaps? That’s literally problem-solving. You’re hungry, so you need food. You’re tired but have work tomorrow, so you need to balance rest and responsibility. Your phone battery is dying, your inbox is full, your friend needs help moving, and you haven’t figured out dinner yet.Every single one of these is a problem, which means your brain is constantly in problem-solving mode. This isn’t a bug—it’s a feature of being alive. But here’s the good…

Last season, Lee Mathews filled the first portion of her 25th anniversary runway show with dresses, outerwear, and sets that were predominantly white. It brought the focus to her silhouettes, which are characteristically intricate, unconstraining, and wearable in equal measure. Her latest collection was born of a new excitement about other time-honed archetypes. “The pushing forward to find all the new ideas… I’d rather go and be reminded of some of the things we used to do that were lovely, and haven’t seen the light of day for a long time, and start to re-work those,” Mathews shared. That began this…
Childhood Memories of Storms and TogethernessI can distinctly remember being excited as a child when we heard that a hurricane was coming. We were so disinterested in the warnings, the reconstruction that would need to take place, or even the dangers that may come with a hurricane. Through our child’s lens, we thought of being out from school. We thought about our parents being home for several days on end—not just the weekend. We thought about being at home and eating snacks, having baths in the rainwater that was caught during heavy rainfall, and going outside to play in the…
As someone who professionally investigates photos of Megan Thee Stallion for nail details, little makes me happier than a good Meg Instagram carousel dump because it often delivers close-ups of the manicures we couldn’t quite make out in previous pictures. And the one she posted on Wednesday night? A treasure trove of nail inspiration—including one that, despite it being October, is vying for the best Valentine’s Day mani-pedi.You’d never know it from the clip she originally posted of the look she wore with this adorable nail art but Meg waited four weeks to let us get a good look at…
“Bro-science” has long claimed animal proteins are essential for serious gains. This seems to make sense when you consider that foods like beef, chicken, and eggs deliver a dose of protein and an amino acid profile that, on paper, is superior to what you would get from a can of beans. For this reason, the common belief is that feasting mostly on plants is a recipe for deflated pecs. Well, the latest research suggests that we can forgo the steak and whey and still pack on more lean mass. Reassurance that those choosing plant-based diets can reach their fitness goals…
Sometimes we step outside and realize: everything around us speaks a language that is not ours. Not just the words, but the tone, the rhythm, the way jokes are told, the way people know when to nod or laugh. It’s the body language, too… the shared understanding of what something means without anyone having to explain.When we grow up somewhere else, that fluency never fully settles into our bodies. We can pick up the vocabulary, we can learn the right phrases, but it doesn’t land in the same way. There’s always a second or two of translating in our heads…
Key Takeaways Adidas Sambas just may be street style’s favorite sneaker, but they’re far from the only slim retro silhouette going viral.From the Puma Speedcat to the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, a growing lineup of colorful, comfortable kicks are pushing the boundaries of fashion meets function. Few sneakers have such a consistent hold on fashion like Adidas Sambas. The viral retro kicks have been trending for a while, and these days, it feels like some variation of Sambas are everywhere we look. Popular styles of the shoe are sometimes hard to find in stock (and/or subject to major markups), but…
If you want to track the pace at which you’re aging, HRV, biological age test, sleep, and VO₂ max are OK, but there are 12 deeper metrics worth quantifying over time. And your wearable isn’t tracking them yet. Scientists have mapped out 12 core processes that drive aging, called the 12 Hallmarks of Aging. These may determine how long and how well you live. First outlined in 2013 then refined in 2022 as science evolved, they form the foundation of longevity medicine today. These help guide how researchers and clinicians measure, test, and target the biology of aging. When I…
