Gwyneth Paltrow sat down for an interview this week in which she was asked some very personal questions about her famous exes—and when answering, the Goop founder did not hold back. The interview in question was for the Call Her Daddy podcast. In Tuesday’s episode, host Alex Cooper asked Paltrow about her former A-list loves,
Muscle soreness is about as comfortable as running into your ex in the weight room (meaning, not at all). And even worse is delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can be even more brutal.

Jennifer Lopez gave the world a pleasant surprise yesterday when she attended the Met Gala and an after-party in two gorgeous ensembles, despite being photographed with her husband Ben Affleck in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

If you’ve ever checked out mentally from the world around you — particularly in a stressful situation — you could have been dissociating.

It’s May 2022 and I’m hiding from my therapist. I haven’t had a session in over a month, which feels like eternity after meeting every week for three years. “I’m not feeling too well,” I type into another email draft. “Can we reschedule?” I listen to the whoosh of my email and close my laptop
With the addition of “new mother” to my CV this year, my to-do list has amassed many new responsibilities that didn’t always clutter my (typically) well-managed workflow. To be clear: I’m not complaining. I couldn’t be more grateful. But as any parent will attest, child-rearing challenges make life feel foreign and chaotic. To color my

My mother, Kimberly, loved white florals: freckled limbs moisturized with plumeria body lotion, rooms filled with Pottery Barn furniture and Madonna lilies, and pulse points misted with her signature tuberose perfume before she walked out the door. When she died of cancer in 2011, the wake was filled with her favorite flowers, giving me a
There’s something about Louis Vuitton and bridges. The brand memorably hosted its cruise 2018 show in Kyoto, at the wondrous Miho Museum, with models emerging from the mountains to walk down a suspension bridge, and now, in 2023, it decamped to Seoul to use the city’s Jamsugyo Bridge as its backdrop.
