4 days ago | flipboard.com | Hannah Baxter

3 hours agoNo 69-Year-Old Looks Like Kris Jenner IRL. Not Even Kris Jenner. Is there any hope for a more reasonable, more human, and reality-based approach to beauty? You will forgive me if the number of times I’ve uttered, “Geezus Christ,” in the past few days has hit some kind of record.
Baby Soft Skin Starts With My Head-to-Toe Exfoliating Routine

I pride myself on having soft skin. Anyone who has felt my forearms (or other assorted body parts) tells me so, and I always revel in the compliment. Yes, I’m lucky to have good skin genes, but achieving that soft, smooth dolphin texture isn’t exactly a given. This takes work, people! And whether or not you choose to address body hair is almost beside the point (I generally do not because I am lazy). Exfoliation is the real key to presenting your silkiest self to the world.

I’ve always had big brows (thank you, Dad). Well, correction—there was a moment when I was 12 wherein I shaved off the majority of the hairs because I felt so self-conscious about their Groucho Marx status. My fellow tweens and I just didn’t appreciate the beauty of luscious eyebrows. Thankfully, after a year of rocking a pair of too-short, sperm-esque brows (‘90s babies will know what I’m talking about), the hair grew back, and I have hardly touched them since.

From the media frenzy that surrounded the 2025 draft outfits to the players showcasing their best hair and makeup looks on both the red carpet and on the court (I'm still thinking about Paige Bueckers' perfect summery blonde hair) it's clear that pro female basketball players are finally receiving the attention they rightfully deserve.

I Frolicked In the Tulip Fields of Holland In Search of Firmer Skin

I'm always on the hunt for brighter, firmer skin. What can I say? I'm 35 and gravity takes no prisoners. So anything in the beauty space that promises to enhance skin elasticity and generally leave my epidermis looking as youthful and radiant as possible automatically piques my interest, especially if I don't have to traipse to my dermatologist's office for a laser treatment or injections.
