1 month ago | betches.com | Melanie Whyte

Nobody panic but Baggu’s summer collection drops today at 1pm EST, May 8th, on their site and in-store!! These sustainable bags are perfect for everyday wear at a great price point. And if DoorDash partnering with Klarna was a recession indicator, budget-friendly is high priority right now. The brand launched in 2007 and is known for those reusable shopping bags that fold-up in a tidy little square pouch (and are absolutely essential for my weekly grocery haul).

Mar 28, 2025 | betches.com | Melanie Whyte

My favorite princess has been back in the spotlight thanks to her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan. While the lifestyle and cooking series has received backlash for being “out of touch,” no one can deny that her life is a walking Pinterest board. Sure, I’m not planning on dropping my whole-ass paycheck on some fancy French pans but I will invest in my glam squad (AKA, my medicine cabinet). Whether you love her or hate her, you can’t deny Meghan Markle has beauty and style.

I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

Mar 24, 2025 | betches.com | Ilana Frost |Sarah Halle Corey |Marissa Dow |Melanie Whyte

It’s pretty much my life’s calling to ~dare to be different~ as a middle child and this mission obvi included food (example: everyone else was happy ordering a double cheeseburger in the McDonald’s drive-through but this girl needed a fish filet). That’s how I ended up obsessed with tiramisu to the point that it became my annual birthday cake tradition.

Mar 21, 2025 | betches.com | Ilana Frost |Marissa Dow |Melanie Whyte |Sarah Halle Corey

Sometimes a mystery isn’t really about what happened, but instead more about how and why it happened. That’s the case with Netflix’s four-part limited series Adolescence. The show tells the story of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who’s arrested for the murder of his classmate Katie Lewis (Emilia Holliday) at the beginning of the first episode. By the end of that first hour, it’s clear that Jamie did do it. We see security camera footage of him committing the crime.
