HAIR AND BODY CARE
From First Pump to Last Drop: My Journey with The Ordinary's Body Lotion

I’ve never had a body care routine—until now. Despite testing countless products for work, laziness and the hassle of sticky lotion kept me from sticking with it. But this summer, affordable brands The Inkey List and The Ordinary entered the body care scene, and I’ve been convinced otherwise.

The Ordinary’s new range includes a body emulsion, serum, and lotion, all priced under $15. They feature the same effective ingredients as their facial products, like salicylic acid, niacinamide, and urea. After testing these for over two months, the Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin Body Lotion stood out. It’s fragrance-free, highly effective, and the pump makes it easy to use. I’ve gone from avoiding body lotion to using this one until the last drop—it's that good.

FASHION FEATURES
From Runway to Sidewalk: The Revival of Preppy Fashion

In 1982, Lisa Birnbach’s Preppy Handbook solidified preppy fashion from Lilly Pulitzer to L.L. Bean, selling over 2.3 million copies and defining a classic style with pieces like Sperry Top-Siders and khakis. While these elements remain iconic, a modern twist is taking preppy fashion from the runways to the streets. Designers are reinventing traditional prep with fresh perspectives, blending collegiate and country club influences with a contemporary edge. Jack Carlson of Rowing Blazers emphasizes that today’s prep is about mixing styles in unexpected ways rather than adhering strictly to the look. Carlson’s approach includes playful takes on classics and collaborations, such as tie-dye Grateful Dead rugby shirts. Brands like Rowing Blazers, Noah, and Aimé Leon Dore are making preppy fashion more accessible and irreverent, returning to its rebellious roots. Tommy Hilfiger, who has seen numerous preppy cycles, notes that modern prep blends tailored elements with relaxed styles. Miu Miu and other designers are infusing preppy with new elements, like distressed accessories and shrunken garments, making it a staple of street style. Today’s preppy look is characterized by a carefree, undone vibe, as seen in everything from Prada’s shrunken argyle polos to Staud’s updated totes.

Jamie Lee Curtis Seeks Name Tags for Crew: 'Promoting Fairness and Inclusivity’

Jamie Lee Curtis, known for her versatile acting, has tackled an often-overlooked on-set issue by advocating for crew members to wear name tags. On Kevin Hart’s SiriusXM podcast Gold Minds, Curtis explained that this practice aims to address the inequity of only the cast knowing the crew's names while remaining unfamiliar with theirs. Her dedication to fairness extends beyond the political arena, where she has supported women's rights, LGBTQ+ communities, and Democratic candidates. Curtis believes that name tags foster a more respectful and equitable work environment, allowing everyone to interact on a personal level and reinforcing mutual respect on fast-paced film sets.
