THE MEGHAN EDIT

The pressure to make the most of Summer can sometimes feel like a race to stay busy and occupied. Those slower mornings and longer days give the sense that there's an expanse of time we must fill with meaning. Frankly, I'm done doing more to "become her". I am now attempting the reverse, slowing down to see more clearly, to gauge where I am currently and understand what I need to continue on that journey to becoming. Without further ado, here are 10 intentional things I will be doing to keep this summer quiet and actually mine. I am sharing them in the hopes that you find this useful and perhaps spark a change in your own plans. Curate Your Mornings If the word "curate" sounds a bit pretentious, I apologize. Let me explain what I actually mean. It's so easy to wake up and immediately hand your attention over to the world, but your mornings are the most expensive part of your day. I've started treating that first 45 minutes like a non-negoti...

The short answer: Yes. Korean skincare can be excellent for Black skin. In many ways, K-beauty's core philosophy aligns better with what melanin-rich skin needs than a lot of Western skincare ever did.

The beauty industry has a long history of treating darker s...

If you’ve been searching for how to get glass skin for Black women or wondering how to make black skin glow naturally, you’re not alone. The glass skin trend, known for its smooth, hydrated, almost reflective finish, has taken over skincare, but most advice isn’t always tailored to melanin-rich skin. Achieving glass skin as a Black woman is about building a consistent routine that targets hydration, even skin tone, and a healthy glow - especially if you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation or dullness. In this article: What Is Glass Skin? How to Get Glass Skin Best Glass Skin Products for Black Women How To Make Black Skin Glow Naturally WHAT IS GLASS SKIN Glass skin is a skincare term used to describe skin that looks smooth, clear, deeply hydrated, and naturally radiant, almost like glass.

Meghan Markle's Switzerland visit made headlines this week as the Duchess travelled solo to Geneva, on Sunday 17 May for one of her most significant public appearances to date, the inauguration of the Lost Screen Memorial at Place des Nations, on the eve of the 79th World Health Assembly. The Duchess of Sussex joined WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , global health leaders, government ministers, and families affected by online harm for the unveiling of the installation, which features 50 illuminated lightboxes each displaying the lock screen image of a child who lost their life as a result of online violence or digital harm . What is the Lost Screen Memorial? The memorial is a light installation consisting of 50 panels in the shape of smartphones. Each panel shows the lock screen of a child or young person who died as a result of online violence, along with the time of death. A digital companion online allows visitors to read and hear each child's s...

If you've been feeling chronically anxious, exhausted, or stuck in fight-or-flight, you're not imagining it, your nervous system may be dysregulated. The good news is that somatic healing offers a body-based path forward, and understanding your vagus nerve is the key to making it work. What is somatic healing? Somatic healing is the practice of using the body — not just the mind — to process and release stored stress, trauma, and tension. Unlike talk therapy alone, somatic approaches work directly with physical sensations, movement, and breath to shift your nervous system out of survival mode. The vagus nerve: your built-in reset button Vagus nerve healing sits at the heart of most somatic practices. The vagus nerve runs from your brainstem all the way to your gut, and it's the main pathway of your parasympathetic ("rest and digest") nervous system. When it's toned and active, you feel calm, connected, and safe. When it's underactive, you feel ...

Polka dot outfits are a total wardrobe chameleon. They have a classic charm that we all love, but this season, the trend is shifting toward looks that feel more architectural, bold, and high-fashion. The beauty of this print is how much room there is to play with scale, texture, and silhouette. Whether you're a minimalist at heart or a fan of maximalist energy, here are 15 ways to bring a fresh, modern perspective to your polka dot outfits this summer. 1. The Sculptural Maxi Embrace structure this summer. Look for dots on heavy-weight cotton or poplin that holds its shape. A high neck and a structured "bell" skirt make these polka dot outfits feel like pieces of wearable modern art. 2. A Bold Accessory Pop If you love a monochrome base, try adding a single, vibrant accessory to break up the pattern. A bright red clutch or colorful sunglasses create a sharp focal point that makes classic polka dot outfits feel incredibly current. 3. The Relaxed Silk Set For a l...

If you’ve been following the back-and-forth rumors about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s standing with Netflix, you probably saw the headlines last week suggesting their deal was on thin ice. Well, it looks like those reports were a bit premature. According to Deadline , the duo is leaning back into a world Harry knows intimately: the high-stakes, surprisingly messy world of professional polo. But this isn't Polo part two. While their 2024 docuseries gave us a peek behind the curtain of the sport, this new project is a full-blown scripted drama. What We Know So Far The series is currently untitled, but the pedigree behind it is solid. They’ve tapped Francisca X. Hu who has worked on shows like Teacup and The Good Wife to serve as showrunner. Perhaps more interesting for fans of soapy, high-society drama is the involvement of Fake Empire , the production company founded by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. If those names sound familiar, it’s because they...
