“Did you just get lip filler?” In my world, this isn’t an absurd question—I’m a beauty writer who regularly tests new aesthetic treatments for work—yet there’s always a look of surprise when I respond “no.” I promise I’m not being sketchy or secretive about the work I’ve gotten done. I’m an open book when it comes to Botox, chemical peels, and other pro treatments. That said, multiple peers and friends have consistently made comments on how full my lips appear, even when they're bare.

Considering I write about beauty for a living, I'm consistently shocked that my TikTok algorithm is rarely anything but pure brain rot. But I recently started noticing an onslaught of red hair content on my FYP.

We might not be getting Reputation (Taylor’s Version) anytime soon, but Taylor Swift is certainly serving up coded looks from that era — but with a summer twist. Swift was recently spotted heading into her favorite Italian spot, Via Carota, wearing a delightfully sexy floral sundress from Doen. She regularly dons pieces from the line, and unsurprisingly, the exact dress is nearly sold out. Not to mention it's a steep $298! If you adore the style, Amazon has a similar dress for just $30.

It completely makes my day when someone compliments me. They could comment on my hair, scent, personality—anything really—and I'll instantly feel lighter and happier. I also love giving compliments, but I've noticed that many of my friends respond by downplaying my acknowledgement, saying things like, "Oh, it's nothing," or "I don't look that good." Frankly, hearing that makes me sad.
