Women Special

A few years ago, I moved to a new state for work—and I did not anticipate how difficult it would be to find a new hairstylist. As a Black woman, I know not every stylist is trained in how to properly style and care for Black hair, so the process can be difficult. Add to that wanting specific styles like braids or sew-ins, and you’re searching for different types of stylists depending on the hairstyle. Without a recommendation on who to go to, I turned to Instagram and searched hashtags to find a stylist to do the braids I had in mind. Upon coming across different Instagram pages and websites, I noticed a common theme: rules.

Like most women, I have a love-hate relationship with bikini shopping. On one hand, it means that summer is approaching and sunny afternoons at the lake are about to fill my Saturdays; on the other, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack of unflattering, soul-sucking duds.  CURRENTLY TRENDING / The Best Memorial Day Sales to Shop This Weekend don't miss out on these amazing deals Last summer, I dabbled in the wonders that are high-waisted bikini bottoms for the first time. I couldn’t tell you why it took years after realizing high-waisted pants are by far the most flattering to realize the same was true for my swimsuit bottoms, but the discovery made me toss all of the low-rise, ghastly bottoms I had hanging around in my underwear drawer for ones that hit just below my belly button—so when I saw that Aerie had made a high-waisted crossover bikini bottom, I knew they had to be mine for summer 2021. The OG of the crossover products, the  leggings , went viral at the pan

Being the beauty lovers we are at The Everygirl HQ, we wanted to share a different side of our beauty routines: our empties. They’re the products from beyond the grave that we’ve completely used up. The concept is simple: show everyone what’s in your trash and talk about if you loved it, if you’ll buy it again, and how long it took you to use up. Every month, our editors will share a few of their own empties—from skin, hair, and makeup products to candles and vitamins and home items—and give our unfiltered review on each of them. Some of them we’ll love and need to repurchase ASAP… and some we’ll celebrate finally finishing them up. If you’ve ever wondered what our absolute favorites (and not-so-favorites) are, this is the right place to be.

If there is one trend that has really prevailed over the last year and a half, it’s elevated loungewear that is comfortable enough to wear at home, but also chic enough to be worn outside the house. And honestly, I’m so here for it: matching sets, sweatshorts, comfy tanks… it all makes me feel like a model-off-duty. That’s why I was so excited (and impressed) when I saw the latest collection of H&M loungewear.
