Some people were born into entrepreneurship, others planned for it. Then, there’s Liya Kebede who considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” For most international supermodels, you can almost predict their trajectory—supermodel status, then brand ambassador, then beauty brand or clothing line will follow suit. But Kebede’s path wasn’t that clear cut. When she refers to herself
What if you could speed past the endless “How r u”s, bathroom mirror selfies, and interminable texting to get right to the good stuff: A relationship with a decent person who can form complete sentences and seems genuinely interested in more than your tatas.

What daughter hasn’t raided her mother’s closet at some point? Clomping around the house in a pair of too-big high heels is practically a sartorial rite of passage. But what if said mother happens to be the creative director of a major European fashion house? “I always felt she was drawn to it, but she
Over the phone, Vanessa is telling me about her upcoming Sayulita, Mexico vacation. There’d be a house with a pool, another house “in the hills,” a bunch of people, and long, lazy days spent drinking and hanging out. I’m doing my best to actively listen while my 3.5-year-old daughter is jumping on me, gleefully yelling

Shay Mitchell defines the cool mom space. She’s an actress, certified social media star, and has one of the cutest babies in the world, as seen on the ‘gram or her YouTube channel. But for Mitchell, being a cool mom is more about being in touch with her daughter’s interests and needs. “If you take
Image Source: Red Bull Content Pool Breaking, known as breakdancing to the outside world, might look like a sport. But for the people practicing it, it’s an art form.

Once, in the span of a single conversation, a friend nearly two decades older than I am and I realized we were both running out of time. I clearly was not going to have my life “figured out” by age 25 or 30 or whatever the appropriate marker is. While she was grappling with the
Imagine walking into a crowded bar. A crowded bar full of unmasked people, talking and laughing and breathing and spewing aerosol particles into the air without the threat of an airborne virus looming over the room. We should be stoked, right? This no longer feels like a far-off fantasy. The mass tragedy of COVID-19, where
One of our most anticipated shows of the summer is AMC’s Kevin Can F**K Himself, a whip-smart black comedy which upends the “sitcom wife” trope we all know and hate. You know her when you see her—the easygoing, patient, incongruously gorgeous housewife whose sole personality trait is absolute devotion to the sitcom’s schlubby male hero.
