How Postpartum Women Are Getting Their "Pink" Back
Although "getting your pink back" may sound like a line from the "Barbie" movie, it's actually a metaphor resonating with postpartum women all over TikTok. The phrase comes from what happens to flamingos when they raise their offspring: their vibrant color is dulled or sometimes completely depleted because all of their energy and nutrients goes toward their babies. As the chicks grow older and become more independent, however, the flamingos get their color back.
This Spanx Bodysuit Has Replaced Every Top in My Wardrobe

Despite all the craze surrounding shapewear, I've long been skeptical about the necessity of the product (sorry, Kim). Sure, it can be great for accentuating curves and creating a more smoothed-out look, but I've always questioned whether the discomfort and debilitating tightness that results from wearing these undergarments is ever really worth it; my conclusion up until very recently was no. Fortunately, many brands have (seemingly) sensed my qualms and worked to bring the shapewear industry into a new era with pieces that are designed to make you feel good and look good, rather than just the latter.

Depending on the style, they can give off a certain vibe, whether it's bold and fierce, chic and elegant, or playful and eccentric. One brand we've been seeing everywhere is Quay.

This Eyebrow Mask Gave Me Fuller, Thicker Brows
Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Whenever anyone asks me about my biggest beauty regret, my answer is always the same: over-waxing my eyebrows. When I was in the 8th grade, thin brows were in, and I wanted mine as thin as possible. That meant waxing, tweezing, and even shaving off way more hair than necessary, which left me with a constant surprised look on my face for years. Fast forward to now, and there isn't any product or treatment I won't try if it promises fuller-looking brows. (I'm even in the midst of researching eyebrow transplants.)

But with regular details on her skin-care and makeup routine, we naturally wanted to know more about her body care regimen — particularly as warm weather, summer activities, and her due date approach.
Is Life Time Fitness Worth the Money? Here’s How Much a Membership Costs
Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Life Time Fitness claims to be so much "more than a gym" — and rightfully so. With deluxe amenities like saunas and steam rooms, plenty of group fitness classes, plus Olympic-size indoor pools, rock-climbing walls, and areas to play pickleball, basketball, and tennis — the 24-hour fitness chain is more like a mini wellness retreat. Given all that Life Time has to offer, it may be tempting to sign up for a membership right away. But before you make the commitment, it's good to know how much a Life Time Fitness membership actually costs.
You Can Get Ozempic at Med Spas — but Experts Warn It May Not Be Legit
As an American woman living in the year 2024, I'm constantly hearing about Ozempic. For the past year, it seems like every week, someone I know says they've started the diabetes medication-turned-weight loss super drug — and when I'm not, I'm bombarded with the conversation on social media. Not to mention the ads — I see them on the New York City subway, on Instagram (RIP my algorithm for researching this story), and, well, everywhere else.
"The Morning Show"'s Karen Pittman Would Love to Just Act, but the System Is Broken

What to Know About Malic Acid, the Key to Smoother Skin
While exfoliating is key to maintaining healthy skin, using products that have a rough texture or an aggressive formula risks damaging your skin barrier. When you exfoliate away dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin, it increases cell turnover — your skin's natural process that replaces dead skin cells with healthy ones. This makes your skin appear bright and healthy. If you've been put off by skin-care acids out of fear that you won't be able to tolerate them, a reliable skin-care ingredient that will make you glow is malic acid.

A New Political Gender Divide Is Shaking Up the Dating World
Andi, a 30-year-old living in Los Angeles, was in love with her ex "for a million different reasons" that she thought outweighed their political differences. They dated for four years, but "over time, even when we tried to avoid the differences between us, politics wound up bleeding into every aspect of our relationship," Andi, who is being identified by a pseudonym to protect her privacy, tells POPSUGAR. Ultimately, the political divide between them was too wide, especially when it came to abortion.

Why Are Hooded Hair Dryers Left Out of the Spa Experience?
It's no secret that caring for naturally curly hair takes effort. With a head full of multiple curl patterns and strand porosities, I find myself altering my 4A coily wash-day routine every couple of months. Exhausting? Sure. But I love my curls and I wouldn't change them. However, finding easier ways to maintain bouncy, moisturized, and defined curls is always a top priority — which is why I've been using a hooded hair dryer for the last year.
