My Perfect Summer Fragrance Bottles Sun-Kissed Skin and a Seaside Breeze

1 week ago | marieclaire.com | Marisa Petrarca

Few fragrance categories pair with summer quite as naturally as salty perfumes. These scents channel everything I crave this time of year: ocean air, sun-kissed skin, and a carefree, just-back-from-vacation feel. But unlike rose or citrus perfumes, salt isn’t a note that’s bottled in a literal sense. Instead, perfumers recreate its effect using a blend of mineral, marine, and skin-like notes that evoke the sensation of standing by seaside.

Summer 2025's Haircut Trends Are Layered, Easy to Air Dry, and All About the Bob

2 weeks ago | flipboard.com | Marisa Petrarca

I've been to over 90 countries. I'll never travel somewhere new before asking these 8 questions. There are few things more stressful than landing on the tarmac in a new country, realizing you're unprepared, and also feeling too embarrassed to ask for help. I've seen fellow tourists struggle to ask the same questions again and again, like how to charge their phones or whether they can use public …

2 weeks ago | marieclaire.com | Marisa Petrarca

It’s basically a universal truth that summer is the best season, right? Maybe that’s the Midwesterner in me talking, but it’s hard to argue with the appeal of warm weather, breezy sundresses, and a crisp wine-and-cheese moment on a late Friday afternoon. Or—hear me out—a summer 2025 haircut trend transformation, which is easily just as satisfying as a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a chunk of Gruyère.

Ingrown Hairs Are the Bane of My Existence—Here’s What Actually Helps

3 weeks ago | marieclaire.com | Marisa Petrarca

Ingrown hairs make my blood boil. They appear as tiny, infuriating bumps and show no respect for timing, outfits, or beach day plans. In my quest to banish them for good, I’ve tried what feels like every product on the planet—I’ve even had laser hair removal on a significant portion of my body, with plans to keep going until I’m smooth from head to toe (and therefore avoid shaving altogether). But until that glorious day comes, I, like so many of us, still deal with the occasional stubborn ingrown.

When I think of the recliners I grew up with, “chic” is not the word that I would use to describe them. My dad was especially into bulky leather ones that seemed destined for a basement corner. A little harsh, I know, but fast-forward two decades later and I have to admit, recliners have fully evolved. One of my favorite new styles?
